How to encourage innovation in your company
Published: Thursday, January 2, 2014 at 9:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 2, 2014 at 9:24 a.m.
Is America losing its innovation edge?
If so, the reason could be because managers and employees are not on the same page in developing new ideas.
Specifically, many employees think they have a good idea, but their managers won't listen to them. In their defense, managers say these ideas often are out in left field with no real focus or value to the company.
In a recent study, Accenture found that 69 percent of employees believe that this country will lose its entrepreneurial edge over foreign employers in the next 10 years unless companies focus more on encouraging employees to pursue innovative ideas.
But Accenture research also finds that corporate leaders find it difficult to channel the entrepreneurial enthusiasm to the right areas with 85 percent reporting that employee ideas are mostly aimed at internal improvements rather than external ones.
Matt Reilly, managing director at Accenture, says he was surprised at the gap between what employees say about presenting entrepreneurial ideas and what executives report receiving.
Some of the problem is because managers may pose "What do you think?" queries to workers without clearly defining what the problem is and what they're seeking in terms of innovative ideas, he says. If managers put up "guardrails" clearly defining their needs, workers would understand the limits and provide better solutions.
Clearly workers have at least some frustration with the process: While the Accenture survey of 800 corporate employees finds that 52 percent say they've pursued an entrepreneurial idea at work, only 20 percent believe that their employer offers enough support to develop ideas.
That frustration may be further compounded because of reports from companies like Apple and Google that they give workers the support they need to focus on new ideas. But Reilly points out that such employers have big operating margins, which means "they get to play around more because their currency is employee brainpower."
Other employers operating on tighter margins may have less time and resources to devote to entrepreneurial ideas, he says.
While workers have an entrepreneurial drive, the survey reveals that 36 percent say they're too busy in their jobs to pursue innovative ideas, and 13 percent say their employers don't offer incentives to spur them into coming up with entrepreneurial ideas. Twenty percent of those surveyed say the lack of management support inhibits their initiative for innovation.
If they do propose entrepreneurial ideas, 77 percent of workers report they're rewarded only if the idea is put in place and proven to work, causing 27 percent to avoid pursuing innovative ideas because they fear negative consequences, the survey finds.
Could that lack of support for entrepreneurial ideas drive employees to take their ideas elsewhere or start their own companies?
The Department of Labor estimates that 2 million Americans leave their jobs voluntarily every month and that number may rise as the economy is expected to improve this year.
In addition, some workers may be drawn to starting their own ventures since it can be relatively easy. Specifically, Intuit research finds that the average cost of a start-up is about $325 and takes about six days.
With 69 percent of small businesses surviving at least two years, some may consider branching out worth the risk.
For employees who do want their current employers to heed their ideas, Reilly suggests they be more "thoughtful" about it — clearly understand an issue and offer specific suggestions to solve a problem confronting their company.
"Being an entrepreneur doesn't mean you're someone who takes risks but rather a person who understands the risk-reward payoff," he says.
At the same time, Reilly says companies need to do a better job of inspiring and supporting innovation in their workforce. He suggests some ways to do that:
— Encourage senior leaders to support some risk and failure from employees as a way to foster more innovative ideas. Executives also should ensure that workers are clear about the rules and processes already in place to drive collaboration.
— Reward employees for innovative ideas, not just successful implementation. Also, set up a clearinghouse for ideas to be evaluated for further development.
— Use internal mentors, outside angel investors and venture-capital expertise to speed up idea assessments and commercialization.
"A Monetessori-like approach to entrepreneurialism is what corporate America needs to unlock the latent innovation present in many companies," Reilly says.

September 20, 2005
Cleveland Indians:
There isn't a fan outside of the NY tri-state area, Red Sox Nation or Chicago's South Side who isn't pulling for this likeable group of overachievers to keep sizzling.
The Lead Item
Two Words For You:
No one likes a choker.
In fact, fans like to mock a classic choke more than they like to cheer a classic rally.
There's just something about a choke that makes even the sorriest person feel better about themselves. "At least I'm not the White Sox..."
This week's head-to-head between the Sox and their rivals from Cleveland only exacerbates the problem. Last night's loss makes it even
You'll see this all day:
Aug. 1:
Central lead?
Sept. 20:
Central lead?
That neatly sums up why the White Sox have gone from the summer's uber-sympathetic rooting interest to the object of our scorn and derision.
But there
one hope for the White Sox to get back in the good graces of baseball fans:
Lose the division lead.
Sounds counterintuitive, but at that point fans will root like crazy
them -- to hold on to the wild card by edging out the AL East runner-up.
Because no one likes a choker. But most fans like the Yankees and Red Sox even less.
Saints: "Home?" Bah!
The Saints as America's Team?
Someone forgot to tell the Giants fans.
Don't try to tell me New York is a fitting "home" for the Saints, that New Yorkers can relate. Didn't hear much empathy Monday night.
The NFL had to do something with the Saints, at a time when decision-making was hard. This made as much sense as anything at the time.
But after watching last night, don't patronize the Saints or their fans by insisting that New York was some kind of second home.
They might be America's Team, but the overwhelming cheers for the Giants indicated the Saints weren't New Yorkers' Team.
AL East: .5! .5!
The Yankees
caught a break from the D-Rays, with a little help from the woeful Orioles bullpen.
Brunell-to-Moss: Skins QB-WR combo hooks up 2X TDs in 4th
Curt Schilling: Pressure on in start vs. D-Rays today
Fire Mike Tice: Is his spin really "It's Daunte's fault?"
Chris Palmer: Texans fire O.C.; someone had to take fall
Thompson: Oklahoma QB switches to WR for playing time
Jose Canseco: Wrestlemania next? (Realer than "Surreal")
Tampa held off the Sox and NY edged Balto, so Boston's margin in the AL East is down to .5 (with 9 to play before the NYY series).
If the Yankees win behind unbeaten Aaron Small and the Red Sox lose behind inconsistent Curt Schilling, not only will the Yankees take over the AL East lead, but the Red Sox will suddenly find themselves behind the Indians for the AL wild card.
Meanwhile, it must be asked:
do opposing teams still pitch to David Ortiz in the late innings of close games?
Monday night, he jacked a HR to bring the Sox within 1 in the 9th, but the D-Rays escaped when Baez struck out Manny. Stop. Pitching. To. Him.
'Skins 14, 'Boys 13
The Redskins could be
2-0 team in the history of the NFL. The rest of the league must look at the NFC East standings and simply shake their heads.
And yet, at the end of the season, no one remembers
the wins happened, but simply that they happened at all. Parcells will stew over this choke for a while, particularly if/when the Cowboys miss the playoffs by a game.
MLB Wrap
NL Wild Card:
Do the Astros have a scheduling advantage over their NL East rivals? Consider Houston got waxed by the Pirates on Monday, 7-0.
But also consider
"regression to the mean": More often than not, the Astros will win that matchup. Meanwhile, the Phillies get the Braves (ouch!) and the Marlins get the Mets (rekindling hopes?)
Bonds Watch:
On his first road trip of the season, how should Bonds expect fans in D.C. to greet him? I'm guessing: "BOOOOOOOOO!" (Till he parks one.)
"Bound for Glory"
What happens when Dick Butkus
takes over as a youth-sports coach?
No, not "Hang Time,"
featuring his immortal role as coach Mike Katowinski, but if you guessed "H.T." give yourself partial credit.
"Bound for Glory"
(10 p.m. ET, ESPN) puts Butkus in charge of a hapless team of Pennsylvania prep football players. Will hilarity ensue?
Rafael Palmeiro:
Congress simply won't let go. Now, they're running around talking to other players about Raffy's possible indiscretions. But what are players saying?

Predictably, CFB pollsters didn't penalize USC for poor sportsmanship for running up the score vs. Arkansas (simply to impress Eastern voters?)
NBA pairs teams with D-League franchises, but doesn't answer questions about how D teams will handle PT between competing teams' young players.
NASCAR Road-Rage follow-up: R. Gordon was fined 35K; K. Kahne 25K; both put on probation; and M. Waltrip fined 10K for obscene gesture.
If the Week 2 schedule had the Saints playing the Vikings, the NFL would have had them in Minnesota and come up with a rationale for that, too.

SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro, who took over the agency after Madoff confessed, has had to repeatedly defend the SEC's work to skeptical lawmakers.
The agency never caught Madoff in the massive scam, only finding out about it when Madoff and his sons turned over the scheme during the 2008 financial crisis.
The SEC suffered further indignity on the matter after an independent investigator named Harry Markopolos wrote a book detailing his failed efforts to get the SEC to look into Madoff's operations years before the scam came to light.

The delegations were to scheduled to meet for a second day Tuesday to try to strike a deal about the future of Tehran's nuclear program.

The Government has confounded pundits by agreeing to provide
uncalled capital to New Zealand Post and Kiwibank, thereby
keeping them out of the hands of the private sector.
Finance Minister Bill English and State-Owned Enterprises
Minister Simon Power announced yesterday the Government had
agreed to provide $150 million of uncalled capital to Support
NZ Post's credit rating and assist in Kiwibank's continued
"We're confident this provision of uncalled capital, on
commercial terms, will give NZ Post and Kiwibank the
financial certainty they need to pursue their plans," Mr
English said.
Mr Power said the move sat alongside other Government
measures, such as allowing Kiwibank to retain profits and
requiring a lower dividend from NZ Post.
Immediately after the May Budget, Mr English was quoted as
saying he would support privatisation of Kiwibank. That was
later overruled by Prime Minister John Key.
Craigs Investment Partners broker Chris Timms said there
would be surprise in some circles that the Government had not
moved to privatise both NZ Post and Kiwibank.
"NZ Post was looking for equity and if the Government had not
stepped up the only other place it could have looked was the
private sector. They would have had to float, or partially
float, to get the equity it required.
"This goes completely against those who said the Government
will sell off state assets. And the best part is the
Government has done it without having to put its hand in its
pocket. It's just agreed to provide the support."
Maintaining a Standard & Poor's AA credit rating was
essential to Kiwibank being able to compete with the
Australian banks, Mr Timms said.
A drop in credit rating would mean funds would cost more to
borrow for the bank.

Customer Reviews
Outside our office door, in case of emergencies, you will find the following information:
Directions, address and phone numbers to the nearest hospitals.
Phone numbers to the local police, local Sheriff's office, the local fire department and ambulance (in case 911 is not appropriate)
Our procedure for alerting you to a potential or sited tornado.
Directions to the nearest tornado shelter.
Phone numbers for the Ranger's station in the park.
Phone numbers for the nearest veterinarians.
Your safety, and the safety of your animals is important to us.
Please let us know if there is any further information you may need about the area to assist you.
Our rules are few and we appreciate your cooperation in helping to
make a better campground that is enjoyable to everyone.
Common sense and courtesy PLEASE - this is our back yard.
We are pet friendly, in order to stay that way, the rules below must be adhered to:
If you brought your dog(s) you MUST pick up after them. Nobody likes to stay
in a site where dogs doo the things they doo and they find it unexpectedly.
Please be courteous to all and clean up after them. You may walk them on the
front lawn and if they doo there is a bucket and scooper available for your use.
Doo use it. .
No pets in the common areas during events (includes pot lucks and other meals)
Pets are expected to be on a leash if they are outside their camping area.
You may have them off leash on your camping site ONLY as long as they are
completely under your control at all times AND are not seen "visiting" other
campsites. We will ask you to tie them if they are seen off their own site.
This is for the courtesy of ALL.
Please be courteous and leave the site as you found it. We work hard to provide you
with a clean campground and clean sites - the easier you make it for us, the less time we
spend cleaning up and the more time we can spend making improvements.
There are only two places we like to see butts; in the saddle or in an ashtray. We never
like to see either on the ground. If you have not brought an ashtray, either ask for one, or use
an empty can. The campsites were butt free when you arrived, let's try to keep them that way.
Please do not burn trash in the fire pits!! They are for campfire wood and charcoal only. Items
such as tin cans, plastic, bottles, styrofoam and food do NOT blend well with the environment. We
use the ash in the firepits to fertilize the grounds and burning trash prevents us from doing this.
Please help us be "Green" and adhere to this simple rule. We pick up your trash for you so please
dispose of it properly.
Please do not move the stones for the firepits. This is SANDstone and it cracks easily. Moving it
will break it. They are not wheel chucks, or logs for splitting wood. They are meant to contain the fire only.
Please do not leave your trash out at night - see our free services below.
Horses are not allowed in the camping areas for
reasons. Please adhere to this very important rule.
For the purpose of safety and space, only ONE truck/car and ONE trailer can be
parked on each site. If you have extra vehicles or trailers, please see the front office for
additional parking requests.
We surely do appreciate your cooperation in following our few but simple rules. It makes things
so much easier and more pleasant for everyone. Thank you!!
Priority Check-in
- If you would like to come early, you can take advantage of our
Priority Check-in service for an additional fee of $2/hr for campsites and $4/hr for lodging facilities
for each hour prior to the official check-in time. If this option appeals to you,
so we can confirm that your site is available for this option.
Stay and Play Package
- Should your stay go by too quickly, we have two options for you
to extend your time here!
before taking
advantage of these options.
First Option:
Guests are welcome to extend their stay past the 11:00 am check out time for $2/hour
for campsites and $4 for lodging facilities. This will allow you to "Stay" on your site for an extended time while you
"play" out on the trails one last time before heading home. This option is subject to site/lodging availability and
must be arranged prior to the 11:00 am check out time. This option is for SITE only and does not include stalls.
Stalls must be vacated to allow for clean-up. When you return, you can untack at the hitching rails and use the
wash stations and other amenities prior to loading up to head home.
Second Option:
Guests are welcome to extend their stay past the 11:00am check out time for FREE if they vacate
their site and stalls and park the trailer up by the office. With this option you are riding as a day rider. This option
must be arranged prior to the 11:00 am check out time. This option does not include stalls. Stalls must be vacated
to allow for clean-up. When you return, you can untack at the hitching rails and use the wash stations and other
amenities prior to loading up to head home.
Buy now, Pay Later
- As a convenience to you, while you are our guest
we will start a customer tab for the items you need or want during your stay. Ice,
wood, gift items, etc. All we need is a credit card on file (in case you forget to pay
before you leave) and then, as you need things, or as you select gift items from the
store, we will put it on your tab. All we ask is that you settle up with us the evening
before your departure.
Trash Pickup
- We do not have trash barrels in the campground because it
keeps the critters away. If you have trash, put it in the back of your trailer at night, but then
in the morning, leave it out by the
of your site
We will pick it up for you and bring it to the dumpster. Please do not throw food
and trash in the campfire pits. We recycle/compost the ash to fertilize the grounds
and food in the firepits will also attract the unwanted critters.
Delivery Service
- Need firewood? Swing by the office and let us know your site
number. We will deliver it.
Horse Care
- Not riding today? Going for a hike or a day trip to Nashville? Let us know
and we'll check on your horses for you while you are out. Water, hay, feed - let us know what they
need and we'll take care of them for the day.
Trailer Cleaning
- When you arrive we do our best to help you unload your tack and
supplies to your stalls and will clean out the back of your trailer when possible. This provides a
cleaner environment down by the sites and a clean trailer for the ride home. Not to mention the fact
that the sooner you're unloaded, the sooner you can start your vacation! And that's what counts!
Night time Check up
- Your horses are just as important to us as you are. We know you are
tired from a full day out on the trails. So after your last round of taking care of the horses, we'll go out
to the barn and check on them too. We'll make sure they are comfortable and no one is in distress,
all locks are on correctly, and if your horse has gotten out - we'll get him back in! You can sleep soundly
knowing your horse is comfortably tucked into his stall for the night.
All visitors will be required to sign a Waiver and Release Agreement
upon check-in at True West. If you would like to read the
Waiver before you get here,
for a copy.
True West is on Central Standard Time.
Check-in time is 2:00 p.m.; check-out time is 11:00 a.m.
for the campground as well as other lodging.
If you arrive before 2pm, or stay after 11:00am, extra fees may apply.
Cell phone service is spotty at best in Big South Fork.
You may want to bring a calling card to use while you are here.
Hay is usually available for purchase, but check first.
We bed with sawdust, but bags of compressed shavings are available for purchase.
Ice and firewood are sold in the Mercantile.
Dogs are welcome at True West as long as they stay on a leash
at all times
Owners are expected to clean up after their dogs, wherever they may "go".
Dogs are not allowed in the barns, bath houses, on the deck or in the Mercantile.
This is an insurance issue and must be strictly enforced.
There is a Walmart Supercenter in Jamestown approximately 15 miles from True West.
There are restaurants and fast food anywhere from 5 miles to 15 miles from camp.
The closest gas station is 7 miles away at Beatty Market, so don't come in on empty!
Big South Fork is located in a dry county. You can purchase beer locally,
as well as some nice wine from a local winery. However, if you're looking for something
stronger, the nearest liquor store is about one hour away in Crossville -- so BYOB!

In the Region/Long Island; Filling the Area's Need for Large Conference Centers
Published: August 13, 2000
(Page 2 of 2)
THREE limited-service hotels, without restaurants or pools, opened last year, two others are under construction, and others are planned. Mr. Lipper said, ''I tell developers, 'If you're going to build more hotel rooms, build them now, not five years from now because by then we might be over-hotelled and financing will be more difficult to get.' ''
If the Townhouse project moves forward, it will be important ''for the entire region,'' said Dennis Sneden, the chief executive officer of the 1,000-member Huntington Chamber of Commerce.
Several of the region's full-service hotels have the meeting and exhibition space combined with hotel rooms that some out-of-town groups are seeking, but they do not have the 60,000 square feet of meeting, banquet and exhibition space that some of the conventions need.
The largest meeting spaces now offered by full-service hotels are 27,000 square feet at the 617-room Long Island Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Uniondale; 23,000 square feet at the 200-room Harrison Conference Center in Glen Cove; and 21,000 square feet at the 371-room Melville Marriott.
Although 60,000 square feet of exhibition and meeting space is available on a lower level at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, the arena is best known for sports events and other entertainment rather than as a convention center.
A 260,000-square-foot multipurpose building with a 60,000-square-foot field house that will be available for public trade shows and conferences is scheduled to open next month at the Brentwood campus of Suffolk County Community College. But groups booking there will have to find lodgings elsewhere.
''It is important to have sleeping rooms attached to large space because of the logistics,'' said Anjali Poorswani, a senior associate at HVS International, a hotel consultant in Mineola. ''It's not like New York, where you can take a taxicab to your hotel.''
Michael Hollander, the president of the Long Island Convention & Visitors Bureau, in Hauppauge, estimated that 25 groups went elsewhere last year ''because we didn't have the space they wanted.''
In New Jersey, the Forrestal Princeton Conference Center has 30,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, plus 291 guest rooms, a sports center and other recreation, and in Rye Brook, N.Y., in Westchester County, the Doral Arrowwood Conference Center has 27,600 square feet of meeting space, 272 hotel rooms and a nine-hole golf course.
These are just two examples of conference centers in the area that compete for the same convention business, ''It's not just places on Long Island that compete with each other,'' said Mr. Lipper of Island-Metro Publications.
Carmen Marmosavinetti, the director for meetings and conventions at the visitors bureau, said her work was greatly hampered by the lack of a major convention center.
The National Auctioneers Association, for example, had approached her six months ago. ''They really wanted to have their conference on Long Island because of the proximity to New York City,'' she said.
The conference would have lasted a week and would have generated over $1 million for the local economy, she said. But the group needed about 60,000 square feet for its 2005 convention along with 600 hotel rooms for its 1,500 conference participants.
''We couldn't sell them on the idea of bringing people in to multiple properties,'' Mrs. Marmosavinetti said. Instead, the group will hold its convention in Hershey, Pa.

I have taken a new job within Microsoft as the Regional Lead for Search and MSN Marketing for the Americas. I therefore will join a team that is focused on our Google compete initiatives.
I am of course excited to join this team in a business that is very strategic to Microsoft. I will leave with very fond memories of my time here. I feel proud of the work and our achievements in this time. Starting with our work in Japan where a large part of the business in FY'07 came from the Premier penetration effort and continuing with similar campaigns in China, Brazil, Korea, US, Canada and Australia, we were able to build deep awareness of the Premier value proposition among our 'hot prospects' and generate significant business wins. In addition many of the MQP's that we have identified will no doubt close in FY'08 so the results of the work will endure.
I'd like to thank several people for giving me the opportunity to work in this role – Harco Enting for hiring me into the team and giving me the opportunity to work on the Japan pilot which started it all, Hardeep Walia for initial guidance and support, Ken Durham and Jeremy Korst, my managers for believing in this work and for encouragement, Andy Beadle for being a good partner with the work in Japan, Dickson Co for partnering with me in doing the data analysis, Erica Thode for her work in ensuring successful execution after she joined the team and others in the WW Enterprise Services Marketing team. Eric Stathers and Jack Litewka were two others who paid attention to the work and offered encouragement.
I'd especially like to thank my colleagues in the different subsidiaries with whom I've had the privilege of working. In Japan Yuju Mizushima, Hiroki Fujibayashi, Kenichi Motoyoshi, Kiyoshi Kasai, Kentaro Hayashi and Naomi Mita. Hirano-san was wonderful to work with and Darren Huston was never short of encouragement. In China, Aaron Shin, Kelly Wang, Spencer Loh and Jason Wu were wonderful partners. Kelly Wang worked tirelessly and Aaron was very supportive of our efforts. In Brazil, Andre Magno Pimentel, Claudia Alves Silva, Adriana Fernandes and Alexandre Arello were strong partners. Paulo Iudicibus was wonderfully supportive and committed to success. Francisco Aguilera in the LATAM regional office provided encouragement. In Germany I worked closely with Dierk Otte and in the US with Tricia Flynn and Brad Miller. In Canada, John Rukavina, Suzanne Battiston, Jason Bartlett, Pierre Collins and Maxim Artemenko were great to work with and Gladstone Grant was very supportive. In Australia Kellie Blackall and Anuraag Mohan deserve special mention for their excellent efforts. Frank Lucarelli was another person who stepped up.
Working with all these people to pull off successful Premier penetration campaigns in country after country has been a wonderfully energizing experience. I will cherish the memories and look forward to staying in touch.
Thank you all!!

Hey Cais,
I know you are working on my problem, no worries :) I actually desactivated NGG and then reactivated and it solved my feed problem. I wonder how but it did!
@puda - No worries. Still not sure what may have caused the temporary issue but glad it is no longer a problem.
Thanks for the update!
- Cais.
I am getting this error on multiple client sites. Where our RSS feed is not validating correctly because of your <!-- ngg_resource_manager_marker -->
You can see an example here: http://www.homeimprovementsunlimited.net/blog/feed/
I have put a fix on some of our sites but that means I can't update the plugin. If you could please put this fix in an update release that would be great. I know multiple others who have seen this issue. It would be a big help.
All you need to do is simply change in your class file class.photocrati_resource_manager.php the function print_marker() to what I have below.
function print_marker()
if(is_feed()) return;
print $this->marker;
Then it will work fine and this issue will cease for anyone experiencing the same thing as me.
Thank you
Hey Cais,
Just so you know, the problem actually came back 24h after I reactivated your plugin.
@puda & @btuck044 - We have found most of the RSS feed issues that are being attributed to NextGEN Gallery recently are site that also have the most recent version of WordPress SEO by Yoast active as well. This is something to look at as part of the issue.
As to the suggestion to not print the marker, it has been forwarded to our developers in regards to this issue that came with updating the WP SEO plugin.
- Cais.
Hey Cais,
That would be highly possible since I am using Yoast as well. But I have desactivated your plugin yesterday and I am not experiencing any troubles anymore.

Nationwide home prices posted their first six-month winning streak in three years, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller indexes. The Greater Washington, D.C., area continued to lead the nation at 192.1, up 1.5% from the previous month.
The composite 20-city home price index was up 1.6% in July from the previous month and increased 1.2% from a year earlier. Sixteen of the 20 cities posted annual increases in July. Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas and New York notched annual declines. Every city posted a monthly increase compared to June.
While price gains were not as steep in the Washington area, the 192.1 index towers over other metro areas. Los Angeles is second at 170.8.
"Home prices increased again in July,†says David M. Blitzer, Chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "All 20 cities and both Composites were up on the month for the third time in a row. Even better, 16 of the 20 cities and both Composites rose over the last year. Atlanta remains the weakest city but managed to cut the annual loss to just under 10%.
"The news on home prices in this report confirm recent good news about housing. Single family housing starts are well ahead of last year's pace, existing home sales are up, the inventory of homes for sale is down and foreclosure activity is slowing. All in all, we are more optimistic about housing. Upbeat trends continue. For the third time in a row, all 20 cities and both Composites had monthly gains. Stronger housing numbers are a positive factor for other measures including consumer confidence."
"While the index, and prices more generally, remain well below pre crisis levels, the improvement in the last few months has been noticeable and perhaps more importantly, more rapid than previous episodes of fleeting improvement,†said economists at BTIG Economics. They cautioned, however, that some of the recent gains were the result of fewer short and foreclosure sales, helping to boost aggregate pricing data.

Hello freinds,
I'm using WP 3.5 and Twenty-Twelve theme.
I want to add adsense ads in all posts below post title but don't want these ads to show on Home, any help?????
Hello freinds,
I'm using WP 3.5 and Twenty-Twelve theme.
I want to add adsense ads in all posts below post title but don't want these ads to show on Home, any help?????
Simple !
Place the Google Adsense code into the single.php file (all post pages). But not on index.php file which is home page.
Thanks riversatile,
I tried it, but ad is showing above post title, what if i want to show it below post title
sinlge.php code is this:
* The Template for displaying all single posts.
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
* @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
get_header(); ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>

<?php _e( 'Post navigation', 'twentytwelve' ); ?>

<?php previous_post_link( '%link', '' . _x( '←', 'Previous post link', 'twentytwelve' ) . ' %title' ); ?>
<?php next_post_link( '%link', '%title ' . _x( '→', 'Next post link', 'twentytwelve' ) . '' ); ?>

<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
[In future, wrap code using backticks please]
OK... I can see this template is calling another template :
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
So you can't place the Google Adsense code here if you want to place it below the post title, because the post title PHP function is in the secondary template.
Thanks again,
I have also tried it in content.php.
Ad is showing below title but also showing in home, is there any way??? I don't have much knowledge of php.
Certainly because content.php is also called in index.php (home)
You can perhaps made a copy of content.php, call the file post-content.php, put the Google ad code in it and call the file post-content.php in your single.php file by doing this :
replace this code
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
by this code
<?php get_template_part( 'post-content', get_post_format() ); ?>
Like that, the Google ad should not appears in home.
Thank You very-very much...
It works great!!!!
You're welcome
I have one more question if you don't mind.
when i click on your username "riversatile" it redirect to your website.
How can i link my website to my username???
Hello. In which part of post-content.php place the adsense code?
Thank you.
You can discuss that on your own thread.

I bought the condo in 2008 - I had spent many many years as a child, staying in these very condominiums with my mother. They were such great times I always hoped to have my own place. I currently live in the UK but later this year will move to the US (California) with my family due to work commitments. My plan is to work hard enough to retire earlier in life and live in Florida.
Nichola Curran purchased this condo in 2008
As per above - I chose to buy this condo as I always loved it as a child. The views are spectacular and the location of Seaview is just idyllic. This is a great location whether you are looking for a family holiday, romantic retreat or extended holiday during retirement.
Condo #105 if just on the first floor and being also a corner unit, has a lovely large extended balcony - ideal for sunbathing, relaxing, BBQ'ing and entertaining. It is also very private.
I was a little leery about renting this condo because it was on the 1st floor (actually 2nd as parking underneath is 1st floor). But boy am I glad I did ! It was bigger than the pictures show. The view was perfect and the condo is beautiful and very clean. The private deck was gigantic with plenty of nice patio furniture. We spent most of our time there and at the beach. We saw lots of dolphins every day. The master bed was very comfortable but the other 2 beds could use new mattresses. It would be nice to have a luggage rack in the bedroom . There are lots of stores and places to eat within walking distance. We love the Daiquiri Shack ! Great food and drinks. The only reason I didn't give an excellent mark is because we had a lot of trouble with getting Wi-Fi. Couldn't get it at all for 2 days and then off and on after that. They were trying hard to get the problems worked out . The staff were very nice and helpful and you can tell they really care about the property. We plan on staying here again in the future. Thanks for letting us use your beautiful condo.
We have stayed at Seaview for the past few years, but this was our first time in 105. Absolutely loved it. The new king mattress was great. Thanks so much. We will be staying in 105 again in 2013 and are really looking forward to it. This condo was very well equipped. The cleaning staff does a wonderful job. There were a couple of questions we had for the owners and they were so quick to respond. Thank you.

Saving Short Pump's Famed Oak Tree
The fate of a cherished decades-old oak tree in the heart of Short Pump has some members of the community worried, as the construction of a new martial arts studio occurs directly in front of it.
Some citizens in the area have become attached to the tree,which is more 40 years old and has a trunk 48 inches in diameter, and are hoping the new development in the Downtown Short Pump shopping center won't damage it.
"It's a tree that we've all enjoyed for years," said Glen Allen resident Joyce Major, one of many Short Pump residents who have viewed the tree as a landmark within the community. "The new development is blocking the tree from view so most people won't be able to see it, and it just can't be healthy for the tree."
The tree was known to former residents – and now many current residents in the area – as the "alligator tree," mainly because its base resembles the head of an alligator and is admired for its nearly perfect symmetry.
Master Cho's Tae Kwon Do and Martial Arts, a 17,000-square-foot, two-story facility, is currently under construction on 0.77 acre between the tree and Pouncey Tract Road, near Bowl America. It's expected to open in the spring.
Despite the concerns of some in the community, Henrico County planning officials and the owner of the martial arts studio believe they've taken extra care to ensure the tree's longevity.
"We fought to keep the tree there," said Three Chopt District Planning Commissioner Tommy Branin, whose district includes the site. The tree sits on land that has been owned by a local developer for 50 years. Officials from the planning commission met with the developer last year to request that the tree be saved, Branin said. The county previously had no official control over the fate of the tree because it was located on private property with no development conditions or restrictions that related to the tree.
Though the site already was zoned for commercial use, the Planning Commission had to approve a plan of development for the project. The commission negotiated proffers – development agreements – with the owners of the martial arts facility and their representatives in order to help save the tree from any possible harm during or after development, Branin said. Officials undertook other efforts, as well.
"An arborist came prior to construction and did tests and checked the health of the tree throughout the project," Branin said. Safeguards have been put up around it for protection, and an arborist will return after construction is complete to check the status of the tree.
Henrico County Recreation and Parks director Karen Mier recommended in a letter to planning officials in August 2009 that the tree be protected, noting that it could be recommended for a heritage tree protection designation in the future.
"Developers have taken the proper precautions needed in order to protect the tree," said David O'Kelly, assistant director of planning for the county.
Not everyone in Short Pump realized that the tree was being encroached upon by development.
"This is the first I'm hearing of it," said Norwood Nuckols, the Association for the Preservation of Henrico Antiquities liaison for the Henrico County Historical Society Executive Board. "We would be concerned; we don't want [anything] to happen" to the tree.
Alana Cho, owner of the martial arts studio, has planned to save the tree from the very beginning.
"We designed the building around the tree, and signs are up around it stating that it will not be harmed," said Cho. The facility will have large windows built in all around the facility with views of the tree, according to Cho.
An orange flexible fence has gone up around the tree for protection while the construction is underway. When Cho purchased the property several years ago, there was nothing there but an empty parking lot, land and the tree.
"We didn't want it to die so we've irrigated it all summer," said Cho. Before settling on the Pouncey Tract location, Cho had looked at several other spaces including Town Center West and West Broad Village shopping centers but was turned down by developers.
"They were upset about the number of people that would be coming to our building with the amount of parking spaces available," said Cho. She stressed that she's happy people are concerned about the tree and indicated that protecting it was a key part of her decision to open a new location on the site.
Despite the precautions being taken to protect the special landmark, Major wondered what's to become of the region in the years ahead.
"Does development trump everything?" she asked.

Good food and fun, bargain prices
Pelon's serves up a good mix of variety, value
I first stumbled into Pelon's on a Wednesday night, lured by the promise of $2 tacos and beers. At those prices, I had assumed the place was a hole in the wall, and was pleasantly surprised by the spacious, pleasant interior.
Having spent my teen summers in Virginia Beach surfing, I also felt instantly at home amid the ocean-themed decor. From the ride-the-waves posters lining the walls and the TV displaying non-stop surfing footage, to the foosball table and enormous spools serving as tables, Pelon's is a delight for beach lovers and surfing fans. Reading the menu is part of the entertainment here, as patrons browse burrito choices that include Rip Tide, The Curl, Hawaiian Pipeline and Big Kahuna. > Read more.

So I have learn a ton doing this. Followed the steps carefully to "protect" my site by installing it into a subdirectory. I have then "copied" the .htaccess and index.php files. and modified the index.php file and placed it in the root. It looks to be correct,...
To test the security of the subdirectory reroute I enter domain.com/wp-admin. And if correct it should not go to the dashboard.
In my case, it inserts the subdirectory for me and defeats the purpose.
(ie. domain.com/subdirectory/wp-admin)
Where should I be looking for what appears to be an incorrect entry or error?
Thank you

Is there a file in codeIgniter in which I could just edit so that I can customize the form validation messages?
I just want to place them in a bulleted list to consume less space.
Here's the code that I'm using to output the error messages:
<div class="alert <?php echo $alert['alert_type']; ?> min-form">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">x</button>

<?php echo $alert['main_message']; ?>

<?php echo $alert['sub_message']; ?>
Basically the
$alert['sub_message'] is just getting its data from
validation_errors() function from CodeIgniter which outputs the validation errors from a form.
