Someone is coming at you. Will they hurt you? Kill you? Throw you into a van and molest you? They might! But are you worried enough about it to flee?AdvertisementThere's no better barometer of your internal racism than just which folks you will cross a street to avoid. Mavs owner Mark Cuban spoke openly about this scenario this week, and about how he struggles with his own prejudice. But who's to say it's WRONG to cross the street from a suspicious looking fella? Perhaps you're actually using good judgment! I, for one, don't really give a shit if you're wearing a hoodie when I walk past you. (I wear hoodies and no one has ever accused me of being intimidating.) But if you've got the hood down real tight? And you have your fists balled up in your pockets? And the back of your hoodie says I LIKE TO KILL PEOPLE? I cross. I'm fine with that decision.Crossing a street takes effort. I'm not crossing the street just for ANY black guy. There needs to be a menacing accessory involved that makes me scared for my precious white body. So, with that in mind, here now is a list of people you can cross the street to avoid without worrying about anyone judging you:AdvertisementShouting homeless personHomeless person with noticeable poop aromaBiker gangGroup of teenagers shouting out WOOT WOOT! and laughing for no reasonScientologists'80s-style soccer hooligansCrust punks with dogsKids selling candy "for the basketball team"Bachelorette party groupSkateboarders (I feel like they will skateboard directly into me at any time)Group of high school kids in varsity jacketsAny teenager, really—they all fucking suckAny old man in open-toed shoes with gross feetMethheadsCrackheadsBaseheadsAt Halloween, anyone who went ALL OUT to have a really scary, ornate costumeAnyone with a face tattooMassholesSantaCon attendeesHunchbacked old man shambling out of barRaiders fansGreenpeace volunteers handing out flyers—no, I do not have a minute to save the worldJews For JesusPolice officers (if you are black)Anyone wearing a Guy Fawkes maskProtestersAnyone riding a Rascal scooter that has bumper stickers on itGroup of men you saw just making audible catcalls to a woman passing by like it's 1952Yankees fansAnyone coming out of a major sporting event, reallyRay RicePhoto via GettyReply376 repliesLeave a reply

This NASA satellite image shows a small plume of ash or steam blowing west from its summit. Advertisement The authorities have already evacuated everyone living within an eight-kilometer radius, as small earthquakes, glowing lava at the peak, and falling ash created fears that the volcano was going to erupt once again. According to NASA:On the evening of December 14, the local volcano observatory raised the alert level to Level 3, which means "magma is close to the crater and hazardous explosive eruption is imminent."This natural-color image of Mayon was captured on December 15, 2009, by the Advanced Land Imager on NASA's Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite. A small plume of ash and/or steam is blowing west from the summit. Dark-colored lava or debris flows from previous eruptions streak the flanks of the mountain. A ravine on the southeast slope is occupied by a particularly prominent lava or debris flow.According to local news reports from December 16, fragments of lava were continuously detaching from the lava filing the crater and cascading down slope up to 3 kilometers. Lava flows reached several hundred meters from the summit, but they were still confined to ravines.[NASA Earth Observatory]Reply25 repliesLeave a reply

Touch My Tummy. No, Really.
Now that I'm pregnant the second time around, I had forgotten about the insane, intrusive, totally bizarre need for strangers to accost you on the street and touch your stomach. On the other hand, I have no qualms about letting friends grab the belly. And if it's in fact your shower, it's practically required.

Perez Hilton Grows Up: Chats About New Music Projects, His New Attitude. Plus, A Peek Inside His Blue Ball Birthday Bash
Selena Gomez and Perez Hilton are true blue.
Lina Lecaro
With live performances by Macy Gray, Dita Von Teese, Prince Poppycock, and Greyson Chance to name a few and Debbie Gibson, recorded greetings by Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, and Justin Bieber, and an in person Happy Birthday serenade from the Bieb's galpal Selena Gomez, Perez Hilton's " Blue Ball" Birthday Bash Saturday night at Siren Studios in Hollywood marked another music-infused extravaganza for the controversial gossip and pop culture blogger. We've been to his annual b-day bashes in LA many times over the years -beginning with Dita and The Gossip at the Roxy back in 2007 and ending last year at Paramount Studios with Liza Minelli, Leona Lewis and Katy Perry (on an elephant)- and Saturday's soiree ranked high on the rager scale alongside those.
Perez remains a polarizing figure, but after altering the tone of his site this past year (less trash talk and name calling, more "positivity" and straight forward reportage), maturing as a person, and redirecting his energies as a music taste maker, a lot has changed for him. In many ways, the party reflected these changes. Read on for our exclusive chat with the birthday boy about his charitable involvements, his take on South By Southwest a couple weeks ago, his new leaf and the makeup moments with certain superstars that followed, the mistakes he made when with his now-defunct music label and how he's incorporating what he learned into working with and promoting new artists such as Kat Graham and a new boy band (put together with Simon Fuller)-- both of whom turned in impressive sets at the Blue Ball on Saturday.
Even people who don't like you have to admit you throw the best parties and music events. What was your first?
My birthday back in '07 wth Dita Von Teese, The Gossip and Donovan Leitch as Hedwig. Paris Hilton and Amy Winehouse were there, it was amazing. I also did a Vegas event after that and then started my "One Night" show in Austin.

Tell me about the charity aspect of your birthday this year. What gave you the idea?
I was really inspired Adam Lambert. I saw that he used the opportunity of his birthday to raise money for a charity that he believed in, charity: water. I knew that I wanted mine to be a GLBT organization in light all the teens committing suicide last year and the bullying that's still going on. Trevor Project is amazing and I've referred a lot of people there, but GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) hasn't had as much press so I knew they could use it more.
By asking people to donate for my birthday, I've raised $12,000, but even more important than the money, is the fact that I've been talking about it a lot, and making people more aware. If GLSEN is able to get in the schools and do their work, hopefully kids wont feel the need to call the Trevor Project because they're suicidal.
About the bullying epidemic that we've been seeing so much of... You changed the way do your site because of it. Has this hurt your traffic?
It's been going so well. My traffic hasn't gone down. It hasn't gone up either but I wasn't expecting it to. I was expecting the worst. The fact that it has remained consistent is so encouraging to me because it leads me to believe that people are not only receptive to this but wanting this more positive direction. Hopefully it's inspired others working online or in print media or TV to still be opinionated, sassy funny or critical, but in a way that isn't hurtful.
Debbie Gibson gets electric.
Lina Lecaro
You didn't seem to care about being hurtful or being liked when I interviewed you back in 2007. What changed?
I care about what people think, but I don't care about being liked. It mattered to me that a lot of people thought I was a bully. I don't need to be liked so long that I'm not contributing to anybody possibly committing suicide or feeling that it's ok to be nasty. I don't want or need to be putting that kind of energy out there anymore.
Tying it all back into my birthday, when I started blogging I was 26 years old. People grow up a lot between 26-33. Even someone like one of my inspirations, Howard Stern. Howard himself has grown and evolved. I think if you just stay the same it's fuckin' boring. That's not real. It was important for my website to grow and evolve with me. I'd been thinking of going in a more positive direction even before, that's why I started my fashion website Coco Perez, and my health & wellness Fit Perez, and pet site, Teddy Hilton.
Let's talk about music. How was your South By Southwest experience this year?
Well, one of the criticisms of my show that irked me this year, was people tweeting me that they were upset that there wasn't a "surprise A-list performer." Yes they're nice and great and I've had them before, but it wasn't about that. I loved my lineup this year. There were established acts, some very under the radar acts, some in the middle. Liz Phair is an icon, Taylor Momsen and her band Pretty Reckless who're doing very well; Dirty Vegas, Oh Land, FrankMusik. Younger, more fledginly acts like my favorite new band (and the act that got the most buzz at my party), the New Zealand duo called Kids of 88. They're amazing, I'm beyond obsessed with them. I sort of view them like MGMT but less pretentious. They're fun, but still cool. They are hipsters and speak to that community, but I think they have potential to go mainstream and reach the masses.
Do you think it's good or bad that SXSW is such a commercial scene these days?
You know, some people were upset that there wasn't open bar & there was general admission at my party. How presumptuous. I'm actually kind of happy those people were unhappy. Hopefully the people upset that there wasn't open bar, or a surprise guest won't go next year and there'll be more room for the music lovers. I always have a great time and I always discover somebody new. I'm not going to be deterred to going to South By Southwest because it's sort of become like Sundance, that's ok. It's still a great opportunity for new artists and music lovers.

Gaga, Adelle, Taylor Swift, The Ting Tings, Amy Winehouse, The Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber...They are my most cherished possessions. It makes me almost want to start crying talking about it... It makes me happy for them and also appreciative that they acknowledge the role that I might have played in their success.
What really happened with your Warner Bros. imprint label?
I left there. I'm a little bummed that I left just before Tom Whalley left, because he was one of the reasons I decided not to renew my deal there. I've talked about this before... It just wasn't the easiest relationship. So I left, then a few months later, he left.
I don't have any desire to do that again, I learned so much from that experience. What I learned is more important than having any kind of deal with a record label is actually breaking an act. Having an artist that you're responsible for. That's what I'm working on right now.
Lady Gaga's present for PH.
Lina Lecaro
Tell me about it.
Seeing how people react to certain things has made me change the way I operate. For example, I'm a music lover and I'm in it for the right reasons, and even though I am being more positive and some people's perception of me has changed, a lot of people still think I'm a big ol' douchebag. Rightfully so... It's very well deserved. I don't shy away from my past, I don't try to pretend it never happened, I'm extremely apologetic for any hurt I caused people. I've reached out to people. People have actually reached out to me. Like Fergie sent me some flowers, saying "it's a wonderful thing you're doing, and I'm happy for you."
Will.i.am and I made up and we had a nice chat at the Grammys. It really feels healthy to not have ill will with people. It might take me years to really change the public's perception about me. And that's ok.
How does this relate to your music endeavors?
Knowing what I know, with the artists I'm working with now: it's all about them, it's not about me. You're not going to see me promoting my artist, and saying hey, 'this is my artist, this is my artist!'
I'm not trying to put anything over on anyone, like if anyone asks me, hey are you working with so and so? I'm not gonna lie and deny, I'll say yeah. But I'm not gonna say in my posts, 'this is my artist,' because that might turn a lot of people off on the artist.
You're in a tricky position, for sure. But don't you think if you're posting a lot about someone you're working with, you should disclose it in the post? Like Kat Graham, for example. You're working with her, right?
Yes I am. But I don't want to repeat the same mistakes. Kat is too important for me to fuck up. I got burned before. When I got behind with Sliimy, it was the opposite. I was saying 'oh my artist, my artist, Sliimy.' It hurt him. I got behind Travis Garland and I got him on Amercian Idol. I loved that song. But people hated on the song just because he was working with me. That sucks.
I'm in a different place now. Maybe in a few years if I've really been able to change my public perception. And people are liking me a lot more, it will be a more favorable thing for me to say 'this 'is my artist.' I don't think it's there yet.
So can you name some other acts/projects you've got happening?
I've got the boy band with [American Idol's] Simon Fuller. Not ready to reveal anything else yet. The company, Perezcious Music, does management, producers and song writers, in house content, videos... It's exciting having the freedom and control. And when one of my artists breaks in a big way, it will let me help the other artists more and also give me leverage with the labels.
Right now I'm excited because people have to be so good. It's about more than just the music, it's about the brand, the personality, the total package.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS429868
This is generally the middle shelf for your fresh food door.
This part works with the following brands: Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan & White-Westinghouse.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Super easy. It took longer to remove and replace the stuff in my fridge than it did to install the parts. Removing the top shelf makes it easier. One screw on the drawer support rail and the other two parts just snapped onto the door.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
It was soooo easy. I simply clicked the shelf in place! Thank you so much for all of your help. I love this website!
well, the retainer broke off, so I waited for the new part to come, and when it came, all I had to do was put it on. putting it on took like a second. there were two hooks that the shelf hooked on, so it was really easy.
Snapped new one in.
Replacing was to slide the shelf in on their stubs. My comment about the refrigerator shelfs is they are not made to last. You open the door and one end at the opening side would break. I check to see if it was hanging up however it has plenty of room.Rev. Richard Gibson, ADT
Snapped the door shelf into place
the gasket simply pushed on and shelves went right in place
Snapped right into place
It was simply a matter of slipping the new retainer into place -- a ten second job. I was VERY pleased with the service I received through PartSelect.com -- the part was available and was shipped immediately. I had it in two days. Thanks.
I slid and locked the new shelf in place, easy!
Thankfully I found this website and was able to understand how to find the part I needed and then install it. One you remove all the screws on the bottom the area where the socket goes is revealed, 2 screws to replace it, then you're done. I have light again, thank you!
I order my part from PartSelect and my item was delivered within two days. I just took my part and snapped it in the refrigerator door. It took less than a minute. Thanks PartSelect!
snapped the new one in.
I ordered the part and it came in two days. Very pleased with service etc... I did'nt have the model number due to the dealer removing it. This was a new refrigerator but two of the door bins were missing and it had a few dings in it. PartSelect's web site is very good. With the pictures in the web site I was able to identify the two door bins I needed. Great service and very friendly order desk.
It was so easy. I snapped the old broken ones off, and put the new ones on. Thank you for shipping the parts out so fast. I love you guys.

Here's about the only music-related urinal story you will ever read: There is a recently finished Rolling Stones museum in a German town called Luechow, and it's caused some local controversy because the urinals are shaped like a Rolling Stones logo. Instead of laughing at making tea into the most famous band logo ever, the Germans in the town are publicly outraged, citing the lips looking feminine, saying that it's degrading to women for the urinals to be shaped like that. I guess I can see where they're coming from?
But still: I'd love to have those urinals in my home. [DS]

Embraer-Bombardier Split $3.9 Billion American Jet Order
Frederic Tomesco and Mary SchlangensteinEmbraer SA and Bombardier Inc. split an order for 90 jets from American Airlines Group Inc. with a list value of $3.9 billion as the newly merged carrier adds larger planes to its regional fleet.
The purchase consists of 30 firm orders for Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen aircraft and 60 of Embraer's E175s, American said today in a statement. Both models have 76 seats, more than were allowed under previous pilot contracts limiting the size of jets that could be assigned to commuter operations.
American's order capped a year in which Brazil's Embraer dominated sales in the U.S., with Montreal-based Bombardier's last such deal coming in December 2012 from Delta Air Lines Inc. Fort Worth, Texas-based American acted just three days after the company was created as the AMR Corp.-US Airways Group Inc. merger closed.
"Outside the Delta CRJ order last December, Embraer has been the clear winner in the U.S. regional jet re-fleeting movement this year," Kevin Chiang, an analyst at CIBC World Markets Inc. analyst in Toronto, said today in a note to clients. "It's good to see the CRJ end the year on a positive note."
Embraer rose 0.3 percent to 17.75 reais at the close in Sao Paulo, while Bombardier's widely traded Class B shares fell 0.4 percent to C$4.48 in Toronto.
Delivery Schedule
Deliveries will start in 2014's second quarter for the CRJ900s and the first quarter of 2015 for the Embraers, American said. PSA Airlines, a US Airways commuter subsidiary, will fly the Bombardier planes, while American said it hadn't determined which regional partner would operate the E175s.
American currently has no agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association representing pilots at its American Eagle regional unit to fly additional 76-seat planes, said Andrea Huguely, a company spokeswoman.
"We remain hopeful that we can come to a deal with ALPA early in the new year," she said. AMR had put off the regional purchase earlier this year while still in bankruptcy, citing questions about financing, after U.S. antitrust regulators sued to stop the merger.
Bigger planes will let the merged company retire older, less-efficient 50-seat regional models. In addition to the firm orders, American is taking options for as many as 40 more planes from Bombardier and as many as 90 more jets from Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil-based Embraer.
Buyers' Discount
While the deal is valued at $3.9 billion based on list prices and data from the companies, buyers typically get a discount.
Embraer jets make up a majority of the fleet at American Eagle, which gave the Brazilian planemaker an advantage in the negotiations, CIBC's Chiang said. American Eagle flies 184 50-seat and smaller Embraer jets and 47 Bombardier CRJ700s that have 64 seats, according to a regulatory filing.
"From that perspective, we view the announcement today as a positive for Bombardier," said Chiang, who has a sector outperform rating on the stock.
Airlines are moving toward larger regional jets because the planes' fuel bills can be spread across more seats than with smaller models. Bigger aircraft also are more popular with travelers and let carriers offer a first-class cabin.
The new aircraft "will greatly improve economic efficiencies by lowering operating costs," Kenji Hashimoto, American's senior vice president for regional carriers, said in the statement.
American has arranged backstop financing commitments for the 90 firm orders, according to a U.S. regulatory filing today. Backstop financing often is provided by aircraft manufacturers until an airline can arrange permanent funding.
AMR had decided before its 2011 bankruptcy filing to divest the commuter carrier because higher fuel prices had made flying the small jets too costly. Doug Parker, chief executive officer of the merged American, said in an interview last week that there are no immediate plans to separate Eagle.

The end of the year is coming up and it's probably not unusual to be feeling tired. I'm thinking, though, that I am feeling more tired than usual. I plan to discuss this with my doctor, but wanted to go in with more information than I currently have on possible causes of fatigue. I know one should check iron deficiencies and thyroid functioning, but are there other things to consider?
There are probably 100+ causes of fatigue. It's one of those vague symptoms that almost every condition includes. Some causes I know about are: Vitamin D deficiency Anemia (iron deficiency) B12 deficiency Sleep Apnea Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Thyroid Blood sugar issues (diabetes, low blood sugar, hypoglycemia, eating the wrong kinds of food) Depression Anything that lowers the oxygen in your blood including Heart disease, COPD, Asthma, certain allergies, etc. Too much caffeine Here's a bigger list: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/fatigue/page2_em.htm
If you try iron supplements, make sure to tell your doctor in case he puts you on Synthroid (for your thyroid) - the iron can essentially render the Synthroid useless and then neither of them is doing you any good. Good luck Hope it improves soon!
And don't just start taking supplements because they get recommended to you. For some of them, it's harmless to take supplements you don't need because you just pee out the difference. But other supplements can cause big problems. For example, you can get heavy metal poisoning from supplementing iron if you don't need more iron. I'm not saying you are planning to do this, but I've seen other people do it so I figure I'd warn about the heavy metal poisoning in particular. But any supplement that isn't water-soluble can be a problem.
In fairness: for a normal-weight adult, it would take a LOT per pound of body weight to give yourself iron poisoning, more than a normal person would take in one go. (However, a small child can die very easily from adult iron pills.) Bigger problem with most OTC ones, especially the "slow-release", is they don't absorb well. Also iron alone can do a number on your stomach--I'm on pre-natal vitamins because I need the iron, but can't handle the normal pills. (Doctor's suggestion when she figured out I wasn't taking the iron.)
You should be OK if you take the synthroid first thing in the am on an empty stomach, and don't take the iron until later. Has always worked for me. Fatigue is a toughie. As a hypothyroid person, I always recommend getting a FULL thyroid panel, as measuring only the main hormone (TSH) doesn't necessarily capture any irregularities.
Thanks for these suggestions, everyone. My main concern is that when a blood test is done, we test for all the most obvious possibilities. I am not a fan of needles, and do not want to be going back and forth for blood tests if I can avoid it. Will take a closer look at the medical website MacMadame recommended.
As someone who has had issues with fatigue - a new issue right now too - my suggestion to you is to remember to make notes on how you feel. Doctors hear so many people complaining of fatigue quite frequently. In my experience it has gotten to be a symptom that is overlooked and overshadowed by other ones. You know your body. You know when something seems off. If blood tests don't find anything, keep searching and keep pressing forward to find the answer. I know that when my first blood tests came back they were all in a relatively normal range. My doctor said to me..."see you're healthy." I responded back, "Then why am I here. Oh yeah, I can't stay awake. I am sleeping 10 or more hours to wake up more tired than when I went to bed. So something is wrong."
Also, don't take iron and calcium at the same time. I can't remember which is which, but one of them inhibits the absorbtion of the other into the body. I learned this from my Mom, who was in a nursing home for rehab 2 years ago. When she came home, that was one of the things she told me was that she had to take the iron in the am and the calcium in the pm cause they couldn't be taken together (as they explained to her in the nursing home).
I would agree with this. I tried all sorts of things for my fatigue and nothing seemed to have lasting help. It wasn't until I happened to mention that it was also accompanied by sinus pressure that the doctor put me on nasal sprays, which have generally been successful. I still feel tired sometimes, but most of the time it's now a "normal tired" that I can attribute to not enough sleep the night before, as opposed to the unrelenting fatigue that accompanied the sinus pressure where it didn't matter how much I slept. Anyway, the main point is that it could be something that won't even show up on a blood test, so being able to communicate what the symptoms are helps. (Now the other challenge is being able to actually get the doctor to listen to those symptoms and I don't have any suggestions for that...I'd tried to tell the doctors about the sinus pressure about 5 times before someone listened.)
If you feel that your level of fatigue is not normal for you, then definitely discuss it with your doctor. Many years ago I made the assumption that I was exhausted because I was running around more for the holidays, not eating right, etc. I went to the doctor on an unrelated issue, and they discovered I had mono. This can be confirmed with a simple blood test.
I agree with Ageless & some of the others -- don't try to diagnose it yourself, but do talk with your doctor about it. Try and keep a log for a few days or weeks where you record each morning what time you went to bed, what time you woke up, how you slept (good, took forever, woke up a lot,...) and then make some notes about your fatigue during the day. Are you falling asleep (or working hard to keep yourself from falling asleep)? Or does it seem that you're exhausted without feeling sleepy? Or does it feel like every single effort you make to do anything takes a lot out of you? Does it start right away in the morning, or as of some predictable time? Are you taking any other medications, and have you changed any medications? (Even over-the-counter.) For example, ibuprofen makes me very, very sleepy. Years ago I took a prescription pain reliever and found myself feeling unbearably sleepy. It was a brand name, but it turned out to be a "profen" in a much stronger dose than the OTC ibuprofen. I had to switch to a different type of NSAID. I know a number of people with sleep apnea whose primary symptom was fatigue, fwiw.
I agree with keeping a log cause I tried and all my "regular" bloodwork came back as just fine. No anemia, nothing! However, I also had nausea all day every day with it worsening 45 -90 minutes after eating. I also have a lot of bloating that increases as day goes on, with some pain in the abdomen. Doctor sends me for a blood test for gluten -- for which I had to pay! surprise, surprise!! Result came back indicating a high likelihood of celiac (gluten allergy) so had scope done, biopsy confimed blood work. After speaking with a dietician, she spoke to me about the being tired and said that once my body adjusts to the new diet and I get my villi back to normal, it's quite possible I won't be so weary. She explained that while I have been eating gluten, nutrients in my food are not be absorbed into my body because my villi are "lying flat". Once they become healthy again, my body will begin to receive the nutrients it should have been getting and some of the weariness may disappear. I say all this to tell you that it may take more than just one testing of blood. As for me, well, I am still tired but then I've only been on my new diet for a week. I've been told it can take anywhere from a few weeks to months before my villi are back to normal. Here's to eating somewhat dry and dense breads and trying to learn to bake!
Calcium. It's a bully. However the heme form of iron is absorbed differently and you can take that with calcium. Also, our bodies can't absorb an unlimited amount of calcium at a time so try not to take more than 500mg at once. And calcium citrate is the most easily absorbed. Calcium carbonate is cheap but it requires a highly acidic environment to be absorbed and a lot of people don't absorb it well and no one absorbs it as well as calcium citrate.
My blood tests came back and I found I had both an iron deficiency and a Vitamin D one. I then took supplements for a month, and did further tests, but the iron problem wasn't fully resolved. Am going to take the supplements for another month and double the dosage (300 to 600 mg a day) and get another test. If things haven't improved by then, we will consider iron shots or infusions. Does anyone have suggestions for increasing iron absorbtion or for foods that are high in iron (beyond red meat and spinach)? Any info. on the iron shots or infusions would also be great.
I agree but want to add this: Fatigue is a strong indicator of sinus infection I was horribly fatigued this time last year becasue of a sinus infection. It went on for weeks.
I have iron deficiency anemia as well and don't tolerate red meat well so need to get most of my iron from supplements and vegetables. For non heme iron (the kind that doesn't come from red meat) your body needs vitamin C to help absorb a greater amount of iron. I usually eat a small orange as my dessert. (And I was happy to find out that most of the iron in a potato is in the skin .. love my baked potatoes with skin on!) I found these resources helpful (but not comprehensive by all means) Livestrong explains this in simple language list of iron rich foods with portion sizes info for vegans (I'm not one, but found this helpful)
The best absorbed iron supplements are the heme version of iron. It's like eating liver only without the smell or taste. Not only is it well absorbed but you don't need to take it with something acidic (like Vitamin C) but you can take calcium with it! Second best is carbonyl. That does need to be taken with something acidic though and can't be taken with calcium. Both are more gentle on the stomach than things like ferrous sulfate which is the most commonly available kind.
Thanks for the tips, everyone. I am taking the ferrous sulfate version, but was not taking it with anything acidic. The doctor didn't mention that. I will look into the heme version of iron. And thanks, MacMadame, for suggesting in an earlier post that we look at Vitamin D deficiency. The doctor hadn't thought of that when we did the tests, and was glad to add it when I asked her to.
My sister always to cook her tomato sauce in a cast-iron pot. She said the acid in the tomatoes drew some of the iron into the sauce. It was her standard treatment for cold sores. I don't know if it really works, but I do it now and then. Only drawback is that it removes some of the pot's seasoning.
Vitamin D deficiency is especially common if you live in the northern US or Canada. I think the minimum for proper absorption is 15 minutes of sunlight. My city is constantly overcast, so there are many days in the winter that I never really see the sun. I've taken Vitamin D for years and it does help.
They backtracked on how much Vitamin D you need, btw - but I don't remember the article. When I was pregnant with mini-Viking (2.5 years ago), my blood tests showed Vitamin D deficiency. At that point I was taking multivitamins, calcium with vitamin D (about 500 mg) and 1000 mg Vitamin D supplement. When I told my doctor she just told me to continue, not to take more . I have since dropped the Vitamin D supplement, and I don't consistently take calcium any more. This pregnancy I didn't get told I had Vitamin D deficiency - huh? I thought. And my blood test was in Autumn and not summer like with mini-Viking... Maybe having a kid already takes me outside more
I was put on iron supplements about a year ago and my iron levels actually got worse until I started taking Feosol, which is a combination of heme and non-heme iron. It also doesn't affect my stomach, which ferrous sulfate always did.
They actually increased the recommendation. They used to say something ridiculous like 200 IUs. Now it's 2000 IUs. Also, the labs say normal is anything over 30 but to truly have optimal help, you need to be over 50. Over 30 will keep you from having rickets but that's not the same as optimal health. As for getting Vitamin D from the sun, it's the best way to get it but it can be hard in North America. At most latitudes we have something called Vitamin D winter where the angle of the sun is such that you aren't going to make Vitamin D by being exposed to it. So for months out of the year being outside doesn't help at all. (This even happens during the summer at certain times of day but, of course, that's a tiny fraction of the day.) This article talks about getting it from the sun without getting skin cancer: http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/abou...n-d/uvb-exposure-sunlight-and-indoor-tanning/
Fatigue is such a difficult thing... I often wonder if the fatigue that I feel is normal, or if something is wrong.There are times when I just get so run down. I look around a friends who are so busy with work and running their kids around and thing -- they seem to have so much more energy than me. I'm envious sometimes because I find that I just can't do that. But then again, perhaps they are powered up on coffee and feeling exactly the same as me. I have always needed a lot of sleep -- a good night for me is 8-10 hours. I can function on less for a few days but then I just get really run down. I just often wonder what others are feeling and if I'm "normal" -- so it's interesting to read your posts.
I know how you feel...to some extent, I feel like you could only know if it is "normal" if you have had something that is abnormal and think about the difference between that and the normal, if that makes sense. If I think about the way I feel 90% of the time now compared to the way I felt 90% of the time before when I had sinus issues exhausting me, I know now that this is normal and the way I felt back then wasn't normal. But when I spent about 3 years being tired all the time and the only explanation that bloodwork showed was a slight iron deficiency (and I didn't feel any better when that was resolved), I started to think that maybe it was normal and I was just being a big baby about it, even though I know that there was a time when I hadn't felt that tired. Now that I don't feel that way anymore, it is super clear that it could not have been normal, but it is hard to determine without a baseline for comparison.
Bailey, I know EXACTLY how you feel! I couldn´t have descriped it better!!! I always have the feeling that everybody around me has much more energy than I have, don´t need so much sleep as I need and all. I couldn´t even imagine to have children, it´s exausting me even to think about it. I eat healthy food, try to be as much as possible outside in the nature to get more energy - it´s also the only thing that really helps me. But the fact is, that often I´m just sooo tired and runned down. Maybe some people are this way and others aren´t? I hope for both of us that it will become better in the future!!!
My coworker who is happy when she gets more than 4 hours of sleep a day? She introduced me to "Bubba," which is a 64-oz thermos that she uses for coffee. She's also fueled by OCD and feeling extremely guilty for not doing enough. OCD and guilt will take you very far! Everyone has their own set point. I can survive on 5-6 hours/night for a workweek but then I crash on the weekends. I'm not sure if that's totally good for me. But I do function pretty well. However, my life isn't really that busy. When I have a lot of places to be at once, that's when I get tired easily and start getting scatterbrained. I have no idea how people survive 1-hour commutes every day! I just want to fall into bed and sleep forever when I get home after one of those things!
This is me, too. And I found that needing sleep and down time was practically considered a character flaw for a teacher. You were supposed to be able to operate on four or five hours of sleep a night and go full speed six days a week and if you couldn't you weren't dedicated.

First of all, I am NOT begrudging ActiveState being compensated for the effort they have put into any project that they may have.
Ok. My comment about the price tag was simply me noticing that there was considerable cost for this and not yet knowing what value this would bring me. No. That may have been what you _meant_ but it wasnt what you said. I quote (with added emphasis)
There is nothing hypocritical about wanting to know what you will be paying for Of course not. But then again you didnt say "For me the price is quite expensive, is it worth it?" Perhaps that was what meant to imply, but obviously the message wasn't recieved as intended, which I would say is usually a good indication of an unfortunate choice of words. Before you start resenting what you think someone has implied, be certain of what they mean. *Caugh* I certainly try to give writers the benfit of the doubt, but in writing and reading there is _never_ certainty, and IMO the burden of clarity is on the author and not the reader. In future if you wish to avoid such misconceptions then perhaps you should avoid phrases that even if they arent meant to come across as innuendo and insinuation.

Hugo Wolf finished his Spanisches Liederbuch in 1890 when he was 30 (13 years before succumbing to syphilitic insanity). A reconstructed Wagnerian, he specialised in forward-looking settings of backward-looking texts.
His pseudo-Hispanic miniatures, both sacred and secular, explore exquisite degrees of daring and devotion, love and longing, passion and pessimism. The cantilena favours fragmentation over expansion and, even now, the harmonies tend to sound gently other-worldly. Wolf has always attracted artists fond of probing for expressive profundity and subtle nuance. Singing beautifully helps, of course, but in this context it is never enough. For many of us, the vocal/intellectual standard must have been set by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, who recorded the Liederbuch in 1967, warmly supported by the pianist Gerald Moore.
On Sunday, at the relatively intimate Alice Tully Hall (capacity 1,096), the interpretive challenge fell to a rather odd couple, Angelika Kirchschlager and Ian Bostridge. With uncompromising seriousness of purpose, they took telling turns with 34 of Wolf's 44 austere songs.
The Austrian mezzo-soprano obviously savours the poetry, focuses emotion with natural vigour, conveys whimsy, charm and pain with apt precision. Most important, perhaps, she avoids exaggeration at every quirky turn. And, yes, she sings beautifully.
The British tenor seems equally sensitive yet more self-conscious. Although his voice is small, he commands a big dynamic range, also a good ear for artful effects and impeccable German diction. Unfortunately, he paces nervously about the stage, addresses the floor as much as the audience and blurs the delicate line that separates pathos and mannerism. And, yes, despite his penchant for preciosity, he sings beautifully.
Constantly sympathetic, Julius Drake sustained drama, cumulative logic and easy virtuosity at the keyboard. He also made delirious sense of the impossible patter-clatter of "Klinge, klinge, mein Pandero".
Incidental intelligence: the management went to great lengths – literally – printing texts and translations for all the songs in the programme booklet. Then they left the houselights so dim that reading became almost impossible.

And Pavlos, please feel free to send me information on Greek names and any corrections on anything I may have gotten wrong. I don't know when and if there will be another edition, but I hope I will get to write at least one more book on names during my lifetime, though I am thinking of writing a more historical treatise on how name patterns shifted over the last 200 years in the USA rather than using a "dictionary" format.

A man nicknamed the "Bucket List Bandit" by the FBI after he allegedly told a Utah bank teller that he had just four months to live will plead guilty before a federal judge in Pennsylvania to that robbery and 10 other heists in nine other states.
Federal public defender Thomas Patton told The Associated Press that Michael Eugene Brewster, formerly of Pensacola, Fla., will plead guilty Wednesday to the Sept. 10 Huntingdon National Bank Heist in Erie, which capped a cross-country string of robberies that began June 21 in Arvada, Colo. Brewster will also plead guilty to the other heists, Patton said.
Until the new charges were filed Tuesday, Brewster had been formally charged only with the Erie bank robbery, though the FBI months ago named him as a suspect in the others based on surveillance video from the other heists, nearly all of which showed a bespectacled robber, with graying hair combed back, wearing a blue polo shirt with a pocket.
Brewster has been jailed since his arrest Sept. 13 in Roland, Okla., after he ran a stop sign near a casino close to the Arkansas border. When the FBI warrant for the Erie heist showed up on a computer search, Brewster was jailed there until he could be brought back to Pennsylvania, where federal prosecutors took over the nationwide investigation.
According to court documents, Brewster stole a total of $33,858 in the robberies, though an amount wasn't listed for his fifth robbery, a July 20 heist at the Bank of America in Winston-Salem, N.C.
The least Brewster stole was $632 from Landmark Bank in Columbia, Mo. on Aug 29, and the most he netted was $7,000 taken from the Wells Fargo Bank in Roy, Utah, on July 6 - the fourth robbery in the string, during which he made the remark to the teller which prompted his FBI nickname.
In each robbery, Brewster handed a teller a note and claimed to have a gun, though he never displayed one. In some cases, Brewster explained his actions by claiming to be terminally ill and, according to the FBI, specifically told the Utah teller, "I have four months to live."
Patton declined to comment on whether Brewster was terminally ill and Brewster merely shrugged and smiled when the AP asked him that question after his detention hearing in Erie last October.
Asked whether Brewster's illness has been confirmed, Assistant U.S. Attorney Marshall Piccinini said, "I can't say that is has or hasn't been. There's been nothing presented to us" that suggests Brewster is ill, Piccinini said.
Although the FBI gave him a nickname, investigators didn't learn Brewster's true identity until a tipster saw news coverage of the Erie heist and called to give agents Brewster's name and birth date. The FBI filed a criminal complaint for the Erie heist after the teller picked his mug shot out of a photo lineup, and they began investigating his involvement in the other robberies based on surveillance video and other similarities.
In addition to the robberies in Colorado, Columbia, Mo., North Carolina, Utah and Pennsylvania, Brewster is pleading guilty to robberies in Flagstaff, Ariz.; Pocatello, Idaho; Altamonte Springs, Fla., Chattanooga, Tenn.; Bloomington, Ill.; and O'Fallon, Mo., Patton said.
Nobody was hurt in the robberies.
Brewster, who was 54 when he was arrested last year, is expected to face decades in prison for the robberies, though attorneys in the case declined to comment on that until after his guilty plea.

Hey all,
The error is thrown when attempting to deploy objects that have a four part (linked server) call in the procedure definition.
This was an issue with older versions of Compare; however it was fixed as they gave us the ability to change the isolation level. Changing it to READ COMMITTED did resolve the issue; however with the latest upgrade to 10.3.8, the issue has returned.
I can not roll back to a previous version either because I upgraded to this one to resolve the columnstore indexing comparison issues.
Any thoughts?

A New York Times financial columnist who specializes in covering Wall Street went to the Occupy Wall Street protest for the first time Saturday only after he said he received a call from "the chief executive of a major bank" who wanted to know whether the protests were "a big deal" or a potential "personal safety problem."
Glenn Greenwald, a lawyer and columnist for Salon, criticized Andrew Ross Sorkin on Tuesday first because it took him more than three weeks to make it to the place that also happens to be his beat, and secondly because when he finally did go, it wasn't because he thought the protests were worth covering, but because the CEO "of a major bank" had raised questions about the demonstrations. —BF
Glenn Greenwald on Salon:
How interesting that when a CEO "of a major bank" wants to know how threatening these protests are, he doesn't seek out corporate advisers or dispatch the bank's investigators, but instead gets the NYT's notoriously banker-friendly Wall Street reporter on the phone and assigns him to report back. How equally interesting that if this NYT financial columnist can't address the concerns and questions of a CEO "of a major bank," he hops to it to find out what was demanded of him. Sorkin did what he was told, cautiously concluding:
As I wandered around the park, it was clear to me that most bankers probably don't have to worry about being in imminent personal danger. This didn't seem like a brutal group — at least not yet.

Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) won a gag order to stop a fired security operative from talking to reporters and a judge ordered him to provide Wal-Mart attorneys with 'the names of all persons to whom he has transmitted, since January 15, 2007, any Wal-Mart information.'? The court papers made public Monday follow a string of revelations about the retailer's large surveillance operations and its business plans.??Wal-Mart Stores Inc. filed a lawsuit and request for a temporary restraining order directly with a Circuit Court judge after court hours Friday.??In the lawsuit, Wal-Mart alleges that former security operative Bruce Gabbard violated trade secrets law by revealing to reporters 'confidential information about Wal-Mart security systems and operations' and 'highly confidential information about Wal-Mart's strategic planning'. It seeks unspecified damages.??The judge's temporary order bars Gabbard from disclosing any further Wal-Mart trade secrets or confidential information.??The suit and restraining order were filed two days after Wal-Mart apologized to activist shareholders for Gabbard's revelation that they were considered potential threats and ahead of a story in Monday's editions of the Wall Street Journal on Gabbard's claim that Wal-Mart had a super-secret 'Project Red' aimed at bolstering its stagnant share price.??Wal-Mart declined to comment on the 'Project Red' report except to say in a statement, 'Our senior management, our board and their advisors regularly conduct thorough, strategic reviews of all aspects of our business. That's just good governance. We look at a full range of alternatives, many of which are considered and rejected, and we will not comment specifically on any of them.' ?The Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, a coalition of faith-based investors that has worked with Wal-Mart since 1990 on a variety of social issues, demanded Monday that Chief Executive Lee Scott apologize formally for a memo that lists the group as a potential threat.??ICCR members hold more than 2 million shares in the retailer.??'More importantly, we ask CEO Lee Scott to shift shareowner resources away from these public relations activities and instead focus on the core issues ICCR and other concerned investors have been bringing to Wal-Mart for almost two decades: the human dignity inherent in each supply chain worker, in-store employee, and customer of Wal-Mart,' the group said in a statement.??Wal-Mart's union-backed critics said the latest revelations about Wal-Mart's security operations and the share price project deserved congressional scrutiny.??'Given the scope of the Wal-Mart spy scandal, the time has come for congressional hearings to find out how deep this rabbit hole goes,' said Chris Kofinis, spokesman for WakeUpWalMart.com.??The restraining order suggests that Gabbard, 44, might still have Wal-Mart equipment or documents. It orders him to surrender any documents or data and a long list of 'all home and work computers, personal digital assistants, hard drives, thumb drives, and all other electronic or digital media and hardcopy information.' ?It also orders Gabbard, at Wal-Mart's request, to provide lawyers with the names of contacts to whom he has provided information about the company.??Gabbard, a 19-year Wal-Mart veteran, was fired along with his supervisor last month for allegedly recording phones calls between a reporter and company officials and for intercepting pager messages between other persons. Wal-Mart said Gabbard violated its policies.??Gabbard was part of a 20-strong security team called the Threat Research and Analysis Group.??Wal-Mart made the case public last month and denied Gabbard's claims that his actions were the result of pressure from Kenneth Senser, a former senior CIA and FBI official who has headed Wal-Mart's office of global security since 2003.??Gabbard did not work for Senser's department, although the company and others familiar with the case said Senser has the authority to work with staff from other divisions in carrying out investigations. Gabbard has said he felt pressured by Senser to find information leaks, while Wal-Mart has denied that those conversations alleged by Gabbard took place.??Gabbard and his former supervisor, Jason Hamilton, who was also fired, have declined repeated requests for interviews with The Associated Press.??But in a text message to The Associated Press last week, Gabbard confirmed the allegations that he was part of a broader surveillance operation against company workers, critics, vendors and consultants that he alleged were approved by the company.

Delta Air Lines to Snatch Up AirTran's Entire Boeing 717 Fleet
Tags: AirTran Airways, Boeing, Boeing 717, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines
The planes, delivered to Southwest subsidiary AirTran Airways between 1999 and 2006, would replace Delta's older McDonnell Douglas DC-9 jets as well as some of its 50-seat Bombardier CRJ aircraft. Delta's overall capacity will not change.
Delta could also purchase up to 70 new 76-seat, dual-class jets under the new pilots agreement.
"These actions pave the way for us to restructure and upgauge our domestic fleet, which will lower our costs, provide more pilot jobs and improve the onboard experience for our customers," said Delta CEO Richard Anderson in a statement. "The addition of the Boeing 717s, additional large regional jets and the planned replacement of 50-seat aircraft continue Delta's commitment to operating an efficient, flexible domestic fleet that offers customers even more opportunities to upgrade to our First Class and Economy Comfort cabins."
Delta pilots have five weeks to ratify the deal.
Southwest, which operates an all-Boeing 737 fleet, saw little benefit in keeping AirTran's 717s after it took over the airline in 2011. Southwest would sublease the jets to Delta through Boeing's finance arm, Boeing's Capital Corp. Deliveries would begin in 2013 and stretch through 2015.
Unclear, however, remains Southwest plan to replace the capacity lost in selling nearly two-thirds of AirTran's fleet.


text: Nepal's most mysterious language might soon disappearAlasdair Wilkins5/13/12 6:15pmFiled to: linguisticsLanguage isolateLanguageNepalKusundaSciSciencetweet74EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkKusunda is one of the most enigmatic languages on the planet. This tongue from western Nepal looks nothing like any other language, and its strange structure baffles linguists. And there's only one person left in Nepal who speaks it.AdvertisementKusunda is an example of a language isolate, meaning a language with no known relative. Of course, this probably doesn't mean the language developed in isolation - in practice, it means that any connections it might have with other languages are so ancient that its relatives have all either gone extinct or changed so much that any links are no longer detectable.There are dozens, perhaps hundreds of such language isolates still spoken today, although most are on the verge of extinction. The language most famous for being an isolate is probably the Basque language spoken on the northern border of Spain and France. That said, the 650,000 Basque speakers are utterly dwarfed by the 78 million speakers of the world's most vibrant language isolate: Korean.AdvertisementAs such, language isolate status is definitely not necessarily a death sentence, but things are looking very grim indeed for Kusunda. The native tongue of a tribe of hunter-gathers in western Nepal, Kusunda was barely known until the 1960s and it wasn't until 2004 that linguists met Gyani Maya Sen, who is now the last fluent speaker of the language living in Nepal. It's thought that there's about six other fluent speakers of the language, but they have either left the country or their whereabouts are unknown.BBC News has a great overview of the language's current sad situation and the steps that would need to be taken to save at least the knowledge of Kusunda, if not the language itself. Whether it's truly worth devoting extensive resources to saving dying languages is admittedly a tricky question that really deserves its own discussion. (I'd personally say it absolutely is worth it, but I can certainly see the counterarguments.) Either way, Kusunda is a language quite literally unlike any other on the planet, and its loss would represent a tragic reduction in the seemingly endless varieties of human expression and communication.Read the original article at BBC News.

He seemed like one come back from the dead, for long had his heirless father and people mourned for him.
You have made me childless, but you and yours shall be heirless for ever.
He was extremely rich, and unless remote relations were considered, heirless.
The Abbey would benefit considerably, for, once a monk, Raymond would be heirless.
c.1300, from Anglo-French heir, Old French oir "heir, successor," from Latin heredem (nominative heres) "heir, heiress" (see heredity). Heir apparent (late 14c.) has the French order of noun-adjective, though it was not originally so written in English. It is the heir of one still alive whose right is clear. After death the heir apparent becomes the heir-at-law.
Under the patriarchs the property of a father was divided among the sons of his legitimate wives (Gen. 21:10; 24:36; 25:5), the eldest son getting a larger portion than the rest. The Mosaic law made specific regulations regarding the transmission of real property, which are given in detail in Deut. 21:17; Num. 27:8; 36:6; 27:9-11. Succession to property was a matter of right and not of favour. Christ is the "heir of all things" (Heb. 1:2; Col. 1:15). Believers are heirs of the "promise," "of righteousness," "of the kingdom," "of the world," "of God," "joint heirs" with Christ (Gal 3:29; Heb. 6:17; 11:7; James 2:5; Rom. 4:13; 8:17).

We ended up with a lot of leftover champagne. Chip thinks you can just throw it away, but I think there's an ordinance governing old paint cans and champagne bottles. If you must dispose of them, they must be empty. And don't pour either in a creek or down a drain!
It's very cold right now. Extremely cold. Unusually cold for
Now to give you a clear idea of exactly how cold it is here, the food in my refrigerator is also frozen. My Diet Peach Snapple Iced Tea (uncompensated product placement) has chunks of ice in it. The lettuce is ruined. As a result, I have learned something else. Although your refrigerator is well insulated, that's to keep out the heat, not the cold. If the temperatures outdoors are in the single digits, there's a good chance that your outdoor refrigerator won't be too much warmer than that. Don't "Duhhhh…." me, I'm sure you don't know everything either.
Speaking of appliances, let's go back to the slow-cooker. I use mine a lot. Frequently doesn't quite cover it. And the most important thing I can share about using a slow-cooker (i.e., Crock Pot) is that any meat will come out tender as long as there are three ingredients: acid, sweetness, time. (No, not thyme, that's another issue). The acid breaks down the meat, so even the toughest cuts become incredibly tender (I haven't tried this with my shoes yet), and the sweetness counteracts the acidic taste. The importance of time is what slow-cooking is all about, allowing all the ingredients to incorporate into something greater than the sum of its parts.
Not all slow-cooker cooking is easy; sometimes you have to precook things on the stove. I don't use recipes like that. My slow-cooker is a convenience tool; throw in all the ingredients, look at it in four or five hours, serve it in about 6 to 8 hours. Beef takes longer; chicken and pork take less time. When my daughters were children, I used to make a beef stew—stovetop—from an old Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. It was based on the combination of sweets and sours, and is actually ideal for slow-cooking. Here's how difficult it is: take meat (chicken, pork, beef, whatever) throw it in a slow-cooker that contains ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and an 8-ounce can of tomato sauce. Throw in some chopped onion, carrots, potatoes, or whatever it is you like. You can use corn, sweet potatoes, celery, and/or peas. You can use frozen vegetables. If you are going to use veggies that cook quickly, save them for the last two hours of cooking. If you don't like potatoes, make noodles on the side (the original recipe called for noodles, not potatoes). Pineapple chunks are a great addition. I've made this with stew chunks, cheap beef roasts, London broil, pork chops, pork roast, and boneless chicken breasts. Not all at once, though. I have served it to dozens of people (ain't potluck great?) and everyone wants the recipe. It's not your mama's stew or pot roast, unless--of course--I'm your mama.

Telework does not create management problems, experts insist
Federal managers who are holding out against what they see as the travesty of telework probably do not want to hear what the management experts have to say.
Never mind the possible benefits of telework, which have been repeated ad nauseam by experts, federal employees, White House officials and even lawmakers.
Agencies that allow employees to work remotely several days a week might have an easier time attracting and retaining talent. They might also be better prepared to continue operating in the event of a disaster. And everyone would be happy to see less traffic on the roads around Washington and other major metropolitan areas with a strong federal presence.
But those arguments don't convince managers who worry about the detrimental effects of telework — most notably a loss of productivity and, in some cases, an outright waste of tax dollars by unsupervised and unmotivated employees.
Here's the catch, the part that managers won't want to hear: Telework does not create management problems, the experts say. It simply makes existing problems more apparent.
It all comes down to performance management, the idea of managing employees based on clear and measurable goals rather than time and attendance. Where performance management is lacking, which apparently is the case in many pockets of the federal government, telework is a scary prospect.
Related story:
Telework pilot projects: From acclimation to adaptation and adoption
Performance management is essential to telework. In lieu of measurable output and deliverables, "managers feel they are losing control if they are not able to see their employees working," said Jennifer Carignan, associate manager of research at the Partnership for Public Service, which recently published a study on the state of flexible work arrangements at federal agencies.
Earlier this summer, we asked managers to share their concerns about telework at the "FCW Insider" blog. We received dozens of comments, many of which highlighted specific issues that make telework impractical at their organizations.
But experts who reviewed those comments repeatedly linked the issues to underlying management problems. To one degree or another, the solution always involves more hands-on management — including better planning, communications and, above all, an emphasis on performance.
The lack of performance management at some agencies "is a matter of management abdication of responsibility," said Abe Zwany, senior vice president at Booz Allen Hamilton, who worked with the Partnership for Public Service on the workforce study. "That is not specific to telework."
Here are the reasons managers object to telework and how management experts respond to their arguments.
NEXT: Technology disconnects
1. Technology disconnects
Point: Home offices often do not measure up to the demands of the job.
An employee who stays home occasionally to wrap up a report might need nothing more than a PC with basic office software and Internet connectivity, but that's not enough for those who telework on a regular basis, managers say.
They need government-provided portable devices, security and management software, and other tools to help them work seamlessly with their supervisors and colleagues. Some agencies might support telework in principle but not in their budgets.
And security is tricky. Virtual private networks might make it possible for employees to link in from anywhere, but security often takes a big bite out of network performance, as one Agriculture Department employee discovered.
"Security on the network is so heavy that it takes a long period of time to get the work done and not cause problems with the applications we work with," the reader commented.
Another concern is the physical security of home offices, especially given past incidents in which laptop computers that contain sensitive data were stolen from employees' homes.
"So it's not as simple as saying, 'You can work at home today,' " pointed out a reader named John. "The agency must evaluate risk versus the cost."
Counterpoint: How much technology does a home office really need?
Unfortunately, the technology problems cannot be brushed away by would-be teleworkers. If an agency lacks the infrastructure to provide employees with secure, reliable access to their work files from home, the prospects for telework are limited.
Less than a year after the blizzard that paralyzed the Washington, D.C., area for a week, federal officials are slowly coming around to the idea that they need that infrastructure in place. But even the best intentions cannot shorten the budget and acquisition processes needed to upgrade existing technology.
That's a challenge even for managers who support telework.
"You have to do this very simple analysis: Can the tasks and responsibilities be done in someplace other than the primary workplace?" said Bruce Tulgan, management consultant and founder of RainmakerThinking. "Sometimes, the answer is no."
But think carefully before you answer that question. In most cases, employees work from home just a day or two a week. Perhaps on those days they do not need access to all their files or systems. Nor should agencies assume that employees need a fully outfitted home office.
"What technology is necessary to support the work being done?" asked Cindy Auten, general manager of the Telework Exchange, a public/private partnership that promotes telework. "Do they really need a printer/fax/scanner device?" Employees often load up on fancy equipment but rarely use it, except as footstools, she added.
But the one area in which agencies cannot afford to cut corners is security. "This is where telework can get a bad name," Auten said. "It absolutely has to be top of line."
NEXT: Disconnected employees
2. Disconnected employees
Point: Remote workers are difficult to reach and can't keep up with changing priorities.
Ideally, employees who work at home should not be "out of sight, out of mind," but that is often how it works, according to both managers and employees.
Sure, co-workers can use e-mail, instant messaging and chat rooms to keep in touch throughout the day. But conversations of consequence inevitably spring up in the hallway, the kitchen or even the parking garage that can't be replicated online.
That is a problem especially in the event of an unanticipated, quick-turnaround assignment, when people are scrambling to respond. Once they get patched in, teleworkers might spend a long time playing catch-up.
To make matters worse, some managers have had bad experiences with employees who are online but out of touch.
"I have attempted to reach federal employees at [the Office of Personnel Management] who supposedly 'work from home,' and guess what? On their 'work-from-home days,' they do not respond at all," one reader commented.
Telework also puts an added burden on people who work in the office, especially supervisors who often have to fill in for remote employees at impromptu face-to-face meetings with outside clients or political appointees.
"Try patching in teleworking employees to participate — without sufficient support staff to do this — and you [understand] one of the many reasons why no one wants to be in middle management anymore," another reader said.
Counterpoint: Clear rules of engagement are a simple and effective fix.
The danger of "out of sight, out of mind" is overstated and avoidable, management experts say.
Technically, webcams, collaboration software and other affordable gadgets make it fairly easy for remote employees to keep in touch. As noted earlier, the technical infrastructure is a must.
But that's not enough. The question of availability is largely about culture, not technology. Managers and employees need to have a common understanding of the rules of engagement.
For instance, what is the most appropriate way to reach teleworkers: by telephone, e-mail or other tools? When is videoconferencing appropriate to use? What is the expected response time if teleworkers are not immediately available?
"We have a whole superstructure of norms and expectations of what is and is not acceptable behavior in the workplace," Zwany said. "We simply need to apply it to" the telework environment.
It can be tricky, especially because of prevailing cultural norms. For example, many managers hesitate to call employees at home, even though they are teleworking, Zwany said.
The solution is for agency leaders to develop clear guidelines and expectations for teleworkers and their managers, he said.
If an agency successfully fosters a telework-friendly culture, employees do not need to worry about losing touch with their bosses or co-workers.
"That is a legitimate fear only if you are not doing anything to add value to the organization," said Gina Vega, professor of management at Salem State University.
She also laughed at the notion that teleworkers miss important impromptu conversations back at the office. "It's not a hotbed of creative conversation that goes on at most water coolers," she said.
NEXT: Management matters
3. Management matters
Point: Lack of face-to-face contact hinders clear communication.
"It's often the things that are left unsaid that represent the most critical part of a message."
In theory, a manager should be able to work with employees equally well whether they are in the office, on the road or at home. As far as managing performance goes — that is, defining goals and measuring outcomes — that might be true. But that is only half the story, some managers say.
Between formal performance reviews, managers should be checking in with employees constantly, making sure they know their priorities and how to achieve them. How much of that contact is lost when an employee is out of the office on a regular basis?
"Telephones and e-mail are good for communicating facts, but nuances are lost," one manager said. "If I can't see someone's face and body language, and they can't see mine, we are missing out on 60 to 80 percent of the communication channel."
"I may not like it," the reader added, "but it's often the things that are left unsaid or unwritten that represent the most critical part of a message."
A manager also needs to think about how his or her team is perceived by the powers that be, especially when it comes to dealing with a crisis. That's unfair but true, one reader said.
"If the rest of the federal government is anything like the Defense Department, they reward the folks who come up with heroic solutions to crises, but they don't reward the team who does their job and prevents crises from ever happening," the reader wrote. "The former can't telecommute because their processes aren't well defined; the latter can telecommute but would then go from low visibility to complete invisibility. What manager can afford to run an invisible team?"
Counterpoint: Management by intangibles is bad management.
Such concerns are a red herring at best and at worst a sign of weak management, experts say.
True, nonverbal cues are lost when using the phone or e-mail — emoticons excepted. But a manager shouldn't be relying on nonverbal communication in any situation, experts say.
"I don't understand what facial images your boss will be throwing your way," said Jon Desenberg, senior policy director at the Performance Institute. "This is not a personal relationship; this is work."
In part, it's simply a matter of adapting the message to the medium. "It certainly is the case that there are intangibles in communications," Tulgan said. "But that just means you have to be much better at using the phone and e-mail."
However, it's a moot point if the management basics are missing. All employees, no matter where they work, need measurable and meaningful performance goals. Those measures provide a sound basis for an effective, ongoing dialogue about work that does not use nonverbal cues as a crutch.
"If you don't have structure in your interactions, then you are going to put more weight on the intangibles," Tulgan said.
It's also worth noting that the conventional wisdom about the importance of face-to-face communications is a bit dated. E-mail, and even instant messaging, has already become the norm for a lot of daily exchanges. In fact, if someone were to insist on speaking face to face on every matter, it might be seen as rude.
"You don't walk over and interrupt someone physically if they are working," Vega said. "You send them an e-mail."
NEXT: Problem employees
4. The problem of problem employees
Point: Some employees are not suited to telework, but it's an all-or-none proposition.
"[This is] a new breed of tech-savvy people who spend too much time at work updating their personal Web sites."
When it comes to the telework debate, no issue is as divisive as the question of trust. Readers theorized that most managers who dislike telework do not trust their employees to work without someone looking over their shoulders. Managers say that is only partially true.
Managers would be willing to trust some of their staff to telework but not others. They get the willies just thinking about certain employees being allowed to work without direct supervision.
"We've seen countless comments by managers who observe this new breed of 'tech-savvy' people who spend too much time at work updating their personal Web sites or chatting with friends outside the office," wrote Michael D. Long. "Taking them off-site will certainly lead to abuses that will at some point generate undesirable media attention and public reactions."
Some people argue that managers can deal with the bad apples, whether they are working in the office or at home, by developing a performance management system that is based on meaningful and measurable metrics.
But it's no secret that the process for dealing with underperforming feds leaves something to be desired and that many managers would rather avoid it. As they see it, their best available option is to keep those employees on a short leash.
Unfortunately, in some cases, everyone ends up on a short leash because the manager feels that he or she does not have the authority to set telework policy on a case-by-case basis.
Some employees "do not have the desire to excel," Scott Glass wrote. "If I provide telecommunicating privileges to the one who does, then I have to do the same for that employee who is not as dedicated. We are forced to be 'fair' and treat all employees the same."
Counterpoint: The privilege of telework gives underperformers something to work for.
A one-size-fits-all telework policy is not just a mistake, it's a missed opportunity, experts say.
Managers are right: Some employees are better-suited for telework than others. However, the solution is not to kill telework altogether but to use it as leverage with underperformers.
Workforce surveys consistently find that flexibility in work hours and location are the two most valued nonmonetary rewards that an organization can offer, Tulgan said. In the federal government, where financial rewards are tough to come by, telework could be a great performance incentive.
"The manager has a very powerful discretionary reward that really matters to people," he said. "I think [he] should use it."
But it's not that simple, of course. To make the privilege of telework an effective carrot, managers need clear and enforceable eligibility criteria.
"Each organization needs to make it clear in the policy, 'If you want to be a teleworker, here's what you have to do to get there,' " Carignan said.
Unfortunately, some managers blanch at the idea of linking telework to performance because it forces them to have conversations they would rather avoid. But if they do that, everyone will be better off.
"You are a manager, and all you need to do is quickly and simply document why someone is allowed to [telework] and someone is not," Desenberg said.

Seasoned government managers are hopeful about an innovation effort backed by the president, but they see pitfalls and the possibility of duplication.
Early self-reporting suggests that 81 percent of agencies are on track to electronically manage email records.
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.
"It all comes down to performance management, the idea of managing employees based on clear and measurable goals rather than time and attendance." Then employees should not be paid by time, but by project! How does that work?
I liked this article in that it portrayed a balanced argument for telework. I think the article would have much more weight if it contained references to the studies and surveys used to make the arguments as well as people's names for the quotes. Is there any chance of an update to the article with the references?
In the Fed DataCenter where I work, we've had a successful telework program for over 2 years. And it's considered a privilege, not a right, a privilege that can be cancelled or denied at the supervisor's discretion. As for equipment, the agency already had the VPN, so all teleworkers are issued a laptop & a cellphone/blackberry. Worried about laptops being stolen & data comprimised? We have policy AND software that prevents the storage of sensitive or private data on the laptop AND, when the laptops are brought in every 45 days to ensure all software updates are properly installed, the laptop is scanned to ensure there is no sensitive or private data on them. It's really not that hard, you just have to plan ahead and be prepared to be flexible.
We had a nery hard time getting Managers to accept Flexible Work Schedules a few years ago while they expressed fears and fortold horror stories that would happen if Everyone didn't work the same 9 to 5 schedule. But now it is fully accpeted and commonplace which has resulted in many improvements without any of the horrors predicted. Flexible Work Places and Telecommuting will eventually be fully accepted as younger and more tech savvy managers replace our aging workforce. For those who aren't interested in Teleworking, I have never heard anyone suggest that you would have to telework if you don't want to, so you are 100% represented right now since most people aren't even allowed to telework.
Employees are often not motivated because their management team is often not motivated. Having a proactive, motivated, and takes the initiative management team can make a difference in a work environment. Management often takes pleasure in nit picking at trivial things that has nothing to do with work or job performance. There are directors/managers in positions today who are afraid to step outside of the box or their comfort zone. They want to play it safe. They don't want to make decisions for fear of failure. They feel employees cannot be monitored unless they are on site therefore they limit the number of hours one can work at home. Management can't have it both ways. They expect people to work at home when a disaster or weather strikes but then restrict them any other time. Then you hear the same song/dance that if gov't staff work from home, then the gov't will be run by contractors. This thought process is just another excuse.

The sights and sounds of the Northwest Washington Fair in Lynden are all around – kids showing their prize animals, carnival rides, tempting fair food, and sounds wafting over from the grandstands.
On hand are a couple of local fiber artists to demonstrate, usually one spinner and one weaver. Sometimes there's a story-telling spinner out front, dressed in period costume, who entertains passers-by. Adults and children alike are intrigued to see the displays and view the demonstrations. Many of them have never seen a loom or a spinning wheel, so there are lots of questions. Kids often take a turn at the small table loom and weave a couple of shots of plain weave.
All this makes part of a great visit to the fair!
And here's a small sampling of the entries.

1940-1960 Mid-Century Modern1960-1980 Post Modern
This deep cream, almost the color of cake batter, is ideal for both interior and exterior use and has remained a standard throughout the century. It is a classic in the 20th-century kitchen, where it was found on painted handles of kitchen utensils and mixing bowls as well as on the walls where, in a high gloss enamel, it provided a washable surface seen as more sanitary than some other finishes. The color also works well as a body color for a white-painted traditional home as pre-modern whites typically had a creamy appearance. The iconic 1942 film Casablanca, was not a box office hit when it was first released. After winning the Academy Award for Best Picture that same year, the film's popularity began to build.

A GoT Parody Season 3 continues.
Game of Thrones has been imitated before, but never quite like this. British digital television...
Few Game of Thrones characters got under Cersei Lannister's skin like Margaery Tyrell...
Have you already read all the books and/or don't care about spoilers? You can reveal all the spoilers in the comments with the click of a link below.
Show spoilers! Hide spoilers.Hodor?
Hilarious stuff…love Seanzoz!
the only thing I don't like about this is that it's too short!
I remember when these used to be funny.
Hee's another pretty funny GOT Animation
These aren't quite as funny when they come out several months after the season airs.
The one thing that did make me laugh was Jorah, "This fuckin' guy!"
Sigh. Jesus people. Does anything make you guys happy??? Anything???
Here's that link:
I was pretty happy to see the return of GoT parody. Good stuff. I hope they continue the series.
Now I live for three things:
1-next season of GOT
2-facebook recaps of new episodes
3-this parody animation for season4
Now I live for three things:
1-next season of GOT
2-facebook recaps of new episodes
3-this parody animation for season4
Its still at episode 4 of season 3….
I think he only likes to make Skyrim episodes. He is not so funny anymore , and is so late that dont care
Full frontal Jorah in a sweaty V neck.
Well, they're taking their time with these…
Ok, they're late, but see it as an opportunity to (once again) re-watch the correct episodes just before a new Parody! I had missed 1-2 of the past season back in May, and the opening scene (missed a battle) really had me laughing out loud. I hope Seanzoz will find the time to complete Season 3, and to the whiners: positive comments will undoubtedly motivate him much more to get back on track!
Didnt even smile. I liked the parodies of season 1 and 2 though. Not all, but some of them.
Not funny.
:high five:
I quiet enjoy these.
Thanks for making them!
LMAO Ser jorah "this fucking guy"
Cary Storm:
Well, they're taking their time with these…
Thats because he was making a Skyrim Parody series, The Senile Scribbles. Since Scribbles are finished, GOT parodies should start coming more often now.
