As managers, one of our primary responsibilities is properly communicating with our staff. This communication could be task related, relaying announcements made by senior management, performance review oriented, or any one of many other business related topics. My question to you is: Are you properly communicating with your staff? According to extensive research conducted by Dr. Bruce Katcher, the president and founder of Discovery Surveys Inc., and author of "30 Reasons Employees Hate Their Managers" (AMACOM) the answer is a resounding "maybe."
According to Dr. Katcher's research, which is based on more than 60,000 employees spread across more than 85 organizations, the results show the following:
• 52 percent of employees feel they receive adequate feedback from their manager regarding their job performance.
• 51 percent of employees feel their manager adequately communicates information on activities and general company announcements.
• 60 percent of employees feel their manager properly communicates individual, department, and company goals to their staff.
• 60 percent of employees feel their managers give them positive recognition for a job well done.
When reviewing the above statistics, it gives you a little better than a 50/50 chance that your staff thinks you are communicating effectively. Please understand that I'm not trying to accuse anyone of not properly communicating with their team. I'm simply suggesting that only a little more than half of those reporting to us (I'm a manager also) are satisfied with the style, quantity, and/or quality of our communications. That said, consider the following two sets of questions. As you will see, the nature of these rhetorical questions is to get you thinking about how you communicate with your team from two very different perspectives.
This first set of questions relates to your communication style in general:
• Do you communicate to your staff on a regular basis? If yes, is it related to all the areas listed in the previously mentioned statistics?
• Do you feel you do a good job communicating job performance to your staff on a regular basis?
• Do you have regular staff meetings? If yes, do you routinely communicate company related information and goals to your staff?
• Upon personal circumspection, are there any ways you could enhance your communication with your staff?
This second set of questions relates to the communication styles of people reporting to you:
• Do you know how each person on your team likes to communicate? The theory behind this question is that your personal communication style may be working great with some of your employees, but not with all of them.
• Do you communicate more regularly with members of your team that you personally like more often than those with whom you have less in common?
• Do you communicate effectively with staff members that are not physically at your location? If not, what can you do to improve your connection with those working virtually?
As you may expect, the above questions are designed to help you gain a better understanding of how you believe your communications are perceived by your staff. In addition to this personal circumspection, also consider asking your staff how they feel about your communications to them. This can be done in a number of ways. Informally, if you have a strong and open relationship with your group, you can ask them in a staff meeting as a basis for discussion. Optionally, you also could potentially do an anonymous survey via a formalized 360 Manager Review questionnaire or conduct an ad hoc survey yourself using Survey Monkey or other free Web-based surveying tool.
Regardless of the data collection device used to learn how those on your team feel about your communication style, quality, and quantity, your staff will appreciate you taking the time and effort to assure they are getting what they need from you. Additionally, the things you learn, both positive and negative, can be used to grow as a manager and enhance your personal management style.
Bruce Katcher, Discovery Surveys Inc., and more than 100 articles on how to improve the workplace can be found at www.DiscoverSurveys.com.
The primary advice and takeaways from today's column is to know that:
• Statistics show that you have slightly better than a 50/50 chance that your staff thinks you are communicating effectively.
• The information learned by a combination of personal circumspection and asking those on your team can be used to grow as a manager and enhance your personal management style.
Until next time, manage well, manage smart and continue to grow.

Here's an everyday scenario: you're shopping at your local grocery store and you maneuver your cart through the middle aisles, where most of the processed food lives. Have you ever seen a label that lists genetically engineered (GE) soy as an ingredient on these packages? No? That's because the label doesn't exist. The US government has continually resisted labeling foods that contain GE ingredients -- or even foods that don't, effectively taking away our ability as consumers to make informed choices. This past weekend, in an effort to change this, labeling proponents embarked on the Right2Know March, a 15-day protest event that started in New York City, which will end on October 16th in Washington, DC, demanding genetically engineered food be labeled. Check out the photosfrom the kickoff in Brooklyn.
Also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), genetically engineered crops are altered with inserted genetic material to exhibit desired traits, like tolerance to pesticides. Although agribusiness likes to present GE technology as "the only way to feed the world," touting its potential to increase crop yields, improve nutritional quality and reduce use of pesticides and natural resources, in reality, GE crops have failed to outperform traditional varieties pretty much across the board.
Fundamentally, the issue here is about choice. While the debate about genetic engineering is unlikely to end anytime soon, most people can agree that consumers should have the right to know whether the foods they buy contain GE ingredients. Without this knowledge, consumers cannot freely choose to embrace or reject the technology.
They've also created some serious problems. For instance, GE crop production threatens biodiversity, requires large quantities of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers and has led to the emergence of "superweeds," necessitating the use of even more toxic chemicals. Moreover, since GE seeds can be patented, the seed industry is now dominated by Monsanto and a handful of other biotech companies – a problematic development given the ongoing consolidation of all facets of the food system.
Oh – and by the way – there are also concerns about the long-term impacts of consumption of GE foods on human health. (To learn more about the health, environmental and ethical implications of GE technology, read Food & Water Watch's outstanding hot-off-the-press report, Genetically Engineered Food: An Overview.)
Currently, the vast majority of corn, soy and cotton grown in the US are genetically engineered. This year, the USDA approved four new GE seeds (alfalfa, amylase corn, sugar beets and Kentucky bluegrass). Note that the government agencies charged with regulating GE crops – namely, the FDA and the USDA – are full of former biotech industry executives who are not all that inclined to advocate for testing of GE crops.
"Yet, unlike the strict safety evaluations for approval of new drugs, there are no mandatory human clinical trials of GE crops, no tests for carcinogenicity or harm to fetuses, no long term testing for human health risks, no requirement for long-term testing on animals, and limited testing for allergenicity, with some studies raising concerns that GE foods may pose an allergen risk." -Naomi Starkman
As a result of environmental and public health concerns, many other countries require genetically engineered foods to be labeled (and some even ban GE production outright). So how do eaters feel stateside? MSNBC conducted a poll that posed the question, "Do you believe genetically modified foods should be labeled?"96% percent voted, "Yes. It's an ethical issue – consumers should be informed so they can make a choice."
This sentiment was clearly expressed in March, when hundreds of companies participated in the Right to Know Rallies and over 60,000 letters were written to Congress demanding that GMO foods be labeled.
This week also saw the launch of the Just Label It: We Have a Right to Know, GMOcampaign, which has built up some major public support for a legal petition that will be submitted to the FDA requesting the labeling of GM foods. Nearly 400 businesses and NGOs have already signed on. (Full disclosure: GRACE is proud to be one of these organizations!) This week, Food Democracy Now! also released a video of then-candidate Obama in 2007 promising to label GMO foods if elected. FDN is promoting a letter of their own that you can sign to encourage President Obama to stick to his word.
Fundamentally, the issue here is about choice. While the debate about genetic engineering is unlikely to end anytime soon, most people can agree that consumers should have the right to know whether this controversial technology was used to produce ingredients in the food they buy. Without this knowledge, consumers cannot freely choose to embrace or reject the technology.
You can be part of the effort to demand GE food labeling by joining -- or just supporting -- the Right2Know March, a historic two-week rally that kicked off with an event at the United Nations in New York City on October 1st, and will end at the White House on the afternoon of World Food Day, October 16th. Marchers can join for a few hours or the whole two weeks. Check out the route, join the march or follow on Facebook and Twitter.

The judge in Tribune Co.'s bankruptcy case on Monday rejected two competing plans for reorganizing the company, leaving the Chapter 11 proceeding unresolved after nearly three contentious years in court.
In an expansive 126-page opinion, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Carey said he could confirm neither plan under the bankruptcy code and threatened to appoint a trustee to resolve the case if the company and its warring creditors can't come up with a viable solution soon.
Despite not picking a clear winner, Carey effectively chose sides with his decision, making it plain that he favored a plan proposed by Tribune Co. and a group of senior creditors, including Oaktree Capital Management, Angelo, Gordon & Co. and JPMorgan Chase.
A settlement at the heart of that plan, he wrote, "should be approved because it is fair, reasonable and in the best interest of the Debtor's estates."
That amounted to a defeat for the author of the competing plan, hedge fund Aurelius Capital Management, which had argued heatedly that the settlement was one-sided and unfair.
At stake is the future ownership of Chicago-based Tribune Co., the media conglomerate and parent of the Chicago Tribune that owns television stations as well as newspapers. Until the company can emerge from bankruptcy, the future structure of its ownership can't be determined, and the company is limited in business decisions it can make because the court must be involved.
Carey laid out a number of elements of the plan pushed by Tribune Co. that caused him to reject it, including the treatment of a key group of junior creditors. But he indicated that if those problems can be fixed, that plan had the best chance of approval.
Both plans sought to resolve a swirl of legal claims stemming from Tribune Co.'s $8.2 billion leveraged buyout in 2007, which preceded the bankruptcy by less than a year. Junior creditors led by Aurelius have argued that the buyout, led by Chicago billionaire Sam Zell, was a textbook case of fraudulent conveyance, meaning the debt-laden transaction left the company insolvent from the very start.
If true, the senior claims held by the banks that funded the deal could be invalidated, leaving more to pay off the junior debt. The prebuyout bondholders also teed up a host of other claims against Zell, Tribune management, board members and shareholders who sold into the deal.
The senior creditors' plan, which was also supported by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, sought to settle the charges by paying Aurelius and the other junior bondholders $431 million for their nearly $1.3 billion in claims. Aurelius countered that it could recover much more through litigation and proposed a plan centered on a "litigation trust," which would allow the company to emerge from bankruptcy while the fraudulent conveyance charges were fought out in court.
Carey, however, claimed that the Aurelius plan was not as feasible as the senior plan because any returns from the litigation trust would be "highly speculative." He also said voting creditors overwhelmingly favored the plan proposed by the senior creditors.
Aurelius said Monday evening that it needed more time to study the decision before commenting.
Whether Tribune Co. and its allies are willing to fix the flaws Carey identified in their plan was unclear. Tribune Co. said in a statement that it also needed time to study the plan before commenting. Oaktree and JPMorgan declined to comment.
Carey outlined several problems. One involved a technical issue related to voting. A second and third involved provisions in the plan that would release various parties, including Tribune Co. employees, from liability related to the buyout. Tribune Co. had sought to protect employees who benefited from selling company shares owned in their 401(k) accounts and otherwise.
"Despite the Debtors' laudatory goal of protecting employees from litigation, the record before me is insufficient to support a conclusion that the (releases) meet the standard of fairness," Carey wrote.
One source close to the senior group said that may mean Tribune Co. will "have to throw those employees under the bus" in order to get a plan approved.
Another flaw Carey found in the senior creditors' plan was whether it appropriately treated a group of junior creditors that owns hybrid securities known as PHONES.
Carey made it plain that despite his own lengthy deliberations, he is in no mood to let the case drag on any longer than necessary. He suggested that if Tribune Co. and its creditors can't see their way clear to a confirmable plan, he may be forced to appoint a bankruptcy trustee to resolve the case, even if it means taking months to get the trustee up to speed.
Carey wrote that "the court is … resolute that if a viable strategy does not present itself with alacrity," he will step in. "The Debtors must promptly find an exit door to this Chapter 11 proceeding."
For Tribune Co., the three years in bankruptcy has clearly taken its toll. Cost cutting in publishing and a slight recovery in TV advertising has propped up cash flow amid a relentless falloff in print ad revenue, which is gravitating, as are readers, toward the Internet. But Tribune Co. CEO Eddy Hartenstein has argued in court that being kept in bankruptcy court has left the company hamstrung from pursuing opportunities that might help it cope with a changing future. Retaining valuable employees has been a challenge, he said, and luring talented new ones has been even more difficult.
Many legal and business experts said the case has become an especially high-profile example of how the bankruptcy process has been taken over by distressed-debt investors that buy up a company's bonds and bank loans for pennies on the dollar and then seek to profit by pressing their influence in bankruptcy court.
Those investors argue that the process provides liquidity for creditors that might otherwise lack the resolve or resources to fight for their rights. But others say the hyperlitigiousness of the modern bankruptcy system is merely a formula for gridlock that does more for lawyers than for their clients.
No one disputes that the process has become stunningly expensive: Tribune Co. has been billed for more than $305 million in legal and professional fees so far, and the tab is still growing. That number doesn't include the many millions of dollars in parallel fees incurred by other parties in the dispute.
Carey took pains in his decision to let it be known that he has lost patience with the endless squabbling among the creditors. He led his decision with a recitation of the fable of the fox and the scorpion, a tale of mutually assured destruction.
"There is no moral to this story," Carey wrote. "Its meaning lies in the exposition of an inescapable facet of human character: the willingness to visit harm upon others, even at one's own peril."
When Tribune Co. filed for Chapter 11 protection on Dec. 8, 2008, it wasn't supposed to be this way. Zell, the billionaire real estate mogul who had become the company's chairman, billed the bankruptcy as a relatively simple balance-sheet restructuring that would allow the company to recover from what he called a "perfect storm" of economic and industry events that had made the court petition unavoidable.
Within months of the initial filing, however, the Chapter 11 proceeding devolved into a heated referendum over the probity of Zell's highly complex two-step deal to take the company private in 2007. And as the fraudulent conveyance charges took hold, warfare broke out among creditors on all sides of the issue.
Douglas Baird, a bankruptcy scholar at the University of Chicago Law School, said it appears Carey still hopes that a full settlement will emerge.
"You get a sense from reading the opinion that the judge really hopes everyone will come together and cooler heads will prevail," Baird said. "The possibility of a trustee will put the fear of God into everyone."

At WWDC 2012 on Monday, Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller unveiled hardware updates to the existing MacBook Air and MacBook Pro lines along with a brand new next-generation MacBook Pro. The new Pro sports an Intel Core i7 (Ivy Bridge) processor, a Retina display, and ultra-thin design. But, it lacks two features that until now, have separated the Pro and Air product lines—an Ethernet port and optical drive.
With the next-generation MacBook Pro, Apple is further merging the Air and Pro lines (or at least their feature set) and moving us closer to a disc-free, wireless future. Just to be clear, this trend didn't start with the new MacBook, nor is Apple the only company to move in this direction. Many Windows-based ultrabooks lack Ethernet ports and optical drives. Ditching these components makes the machine thinner, lighter, and frees up space inside the case.
And, many won't miss the optical drive. Web-based tools, cloud/network storage, downloadable apps, and cheap USB flash drives have eliminated the need for discs. I haven't used a CD or DVD on my laptop in years. The Ethernet port is another story.
Wireless Internet is more available today than it was five years ago, but it's not universal. The office where I work has a public Wi-Fi hotspot, but no behind-the-firewall wireless network. I could use our VPN, but that connection doesn't give me complete access to my network shares. It's also very slow. Given the comments on CNET's first take on the MacBook Pro with Retina display, many people are in the same boat. One person wrote the following:
"optical i can see, and it's reasonable, but there are still a lot of places where wireless simply can't do the job, especially when u are in a neighborhood that has too many wireless interfering with each other, having that Ethernet port saves a lot of grief"
In the next few years, I have no doubt that wired Ethernet will go the way of the optical disc. But for now, those who want a next-generation MacBook Pro and still need a wired Ethernet port will just have to cough up another $29 (US) for the Apple Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter.

European Commission
Press release
Brussels, 20 June 2013
Commission requests Italy to recover surplus levies due from Italian milk producers
Today, the European Commission has called on Italy to take action to address shortcomings in the recovery of surplus levies due from dairy producers who exceeded their individual quotas in years when Italy overran its national dairy quota.
In spite of repeated and numerous requests from the Commission, the majority of levies due between 1995 and 2009 has still not been recovered by Italian authorities, who have manifestly not taken the appropriate measures to effectively recover the total estimated amount of at least € 1.42 billion from producers. This amount needs to be reimbursed to the Italian budget, so that the Italian taxpayers do not lose out, the Commission has underlined today.
The failure to ensure the effective recovery of these levies undermines the efforts undertaken at European level to stabilize the market of dairy products. In addition, it creates distortions of competition with other European and Italian producers who respected the production quotas or paid the surplus levies in case of overrun.
A quota system was introduced in the dairy sector in 1984 to address chronic overproduction on the dairy market and the related increase in intervention costs. The system was essentially based on national production quotas allocated to Member States and divided between national dairies and/or individual producers. When a Member State exceeds its quota, a surplus levy has to be paid by the dairies and/or individual producers who have exceeded their individual quota.
Today's request takes the form of a letter of formal notice. Italy has two months to submit its observations (if any). After examining these, the Commission may request Italy to take action to ensure its compliance with the quota system in a given period of time ("reasoned opinion").

I'm on the road for four days, so I may not manage to complete this in time. However, my blog is moving. I don't know exactly where it will land, but I will certainly link to it from www.rknop.net. Hopefully I will still have access to this blog here in order to be able to post a link to the new site, but that's not assured.
There is some nasty politics in the back end of scientopia.org. There is one person (the one responsible for the last couple of days of downtime we had) who maintains control of the domain name despite the fact that this has repeatedly caused demonstrable problems for the site, and a couple of other flat disrespectful folks who make this a community I no longer want to be a part of. So, off I go.
Update: I've just registered galacticinteractions.org. There's nothing there yet, but that's where this site will land.

I am a new member here and just thought I'd share my story....
In June of 2002 I went into the doctor for what I thought was a pinched nerve in my right shoulder; I thought it was from playing soccer. He gave me Flexeril (a muscle relaxor) and sent me on my way. The "pinched nerve" got worse and I began feeling numbness through my right arm and up through my neck and right side of my face. I went to the doctor again 3 weeks later; they did CT scans and could not find anything. So... I took it upon myself to go see a chiropractor; long story short, he did adjustments to my neck, spine, etc on one day; the next day I awoke with double vision! This is when I freaked out! I demanded a referral from my primary local clinic where my health insurance was contracted with to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN where I live. I did get the referrals; they did MRI's and immediately saw that I had CM and needed to have the decompression surgery. For the week leading up to the surgery I still had the double vision; numbness, tingling... the double vision made me constantly nauseus; all I wanted to do was sleep.
I finally had the surgery and I can say that it was a complete success! This was 7 years ago! Since then, I still do have numbness in my right shoulder, a little bit of dizziness from time to time, but it is something that my body seems to have compensated for. I am very active; I a run about 5-7 miles per day (only on treadmills though, as concrete is too tough on my neck), I lift weights, skydive, etc.... I am luckily able to stay very active!
I rarely think of myself as having had CM; do I still have it even though I am post-op? Anyway... I am thinking about this now becasue a close friend has just been diagnosed with CM; luckily she will be having her surgery done at Mayo Clinic as well; which is ranked #1 in the US for Neurosurgery.
I am hoping that people do realize that there are brighter days ahead once you get a correct diagnosis and surgery; anyway... this was the case with me. Obviously, I am not completely "back to normal" as I do have the numbness, some aches and pains, etc... but I think I have been able to adapt and almost shut out those physicalities; your body has a way of adapting to its new condition.... I do forget that I went through this 7 years ago, but it is good to remember this from time to time as it keeps me grounded a bit.

Study: Women Report More Pain Than Men After Knee Replacement Surgery
Researchers find gender, age of patient, type of anesthesia and surgical technique play a role in postoperative pain
Article ID: 614838
Released: 10-Mar-2014 3:00 PM EDT
Source Newsroom: Hospital for Special Surgery
Available for logged-in reporters only
Annual Meeting of American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
KEYWORDSTotal Knee Replacement, pain, Arthritis, Orthopedic Surgery
Newswise — Middle-aged women with rheumatoid arthritis or arthritis resulting from an injury are among the patients most likely to experience serious pain following a knee replacement, researchers from Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York have found.
One of the biggest concerns patients have is the amount of pain they will have after knee replacement surgery. Although it is a very successful operation overall to relieve arthritis pain and restore function, persistent postoperative pain can be a problem for some patients. Researchers at HSS set out to determine which groups were at highest risk for increased postoperative pain based on demographic and surgical variables.
"There is no question that pain after total knee replacement is greater than that after total hip replacement," says senior study author Thomas P. Sculco, M.D., the hospital's surgeon-in-chief. "Many factors play a role, and our studies found that younger female patients, particularly those with post-traumatic or rheumatoid arthritis, had the highest pain scores."
In two companion studies to be presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in New Orleans on March 11, Dr. Sculco and colleagues also found that surgical factors like having general anesthesia or a longer tourniquet time during knee replacement also can contribute to pain following surgery.
For the studies, the researchers reviewed hospital records for 273 patients who underwent total knee replacement from October 2007 to March 2010. For the first study, investigators looked at demographic data such as gender, ethnicity, age, height, weight, type of knee arthritis and co-existing medical conditions. They also looked at the knee's preoperative range of motion, how well the patients could walk and the amount of pain they had before surgery.
The strongest predictors for severe postoperative pain during rest included being female; being between the ages of 45 and 65; having post-traumatic arthritis spurred by an injury, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoarthritis; being obese; and having a higher level of pain at the time of hospital admission. Patients with avascular necrosis, a disease that causes cell death of bone components due to a decreased blood supply, had significantly lower postoperative pain.
During periods of activity, obesity, a higher pain level during hospital admission and being between the ages of 45 and 65 were the strongest predictors of postoperative pain. Patients who were Asian or Caucasian, and those with either underlying osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis, or both, had lower postoperative pain during periods of activity. "Before patients come in to the hospital, surgeons should have a thorough discussion with them regarding postoperative pain, particularly in the groups that we found tended to have more pain," Dr. Sculco says. "More aggressive pain management techniques may be necessary for these patients."
For the second study, the researchers used the same medical records to gather information about surgical variables including the length of the incision, type of anesthesia, tourniquet time and pressure, how long the procedure took, estimated blood loss, and radiographic assessment including the amount of knee deformity and implant positioning and alignment.
Risk factors for severe postoperative pain at rest included having general anesthesia as opposed to an epidural or spinal block, longer tourniquet time , more blood loss, and having a large kneecap. Predictors for postoperative pain during activity included having a large kneecap, and techniques such as overstuffing of the patellofemoral joint (where the kneecap meets the thigh bone).
Surgical technique can play a role in reducing pain, Dr. Sculco says. "The surgeon must be aware not to use an implant that is too large for the knee, or a kneecap component that is excessive in size. In addition, the location of the joint line must be accurately positioned after the knee replacement, for if it is too high it may lead to increased pain." Patients with epidural anesthesia also tended to have less pain than those who had general anesthesia, he says.
"Technical accuracy is important, particularly the alignment, patella sizing and joint line level," Dr. Sculco says. "Patients with more complex preoperative deformities often required increased operating time and surgical dissection, which in turn led to increased pain, especially in the younger female patients."

Fordham LIVE: State Education Agencies: The Smaller the Better?
In the era of Race to the Top, waivers, and waivers of waivers, the role of state education agencies (SEAs) has increased dramatically: taking on school turnarounds, teacher-evaluation systems, and now Common Core implementation. Many argue that SEAs need "more capacity" to do these new jobs successfully. But what if we are asking departments of education not only to do too much but also to do things that they weren't built to do—and probably cannot do well? Should we shrink the SEA and its role and empower other entities to lead state-level reform instead?
Join the Thomas B. Fordham Institute for a discussion on the role of state education agencies and their leaders in the education-reform ecosystem.
