No bitterness here. I actually feel AP's pain. It spends a lot of money to hire reporters and stringers and collect and distribute news to newspapers, TV and radio stations, etc. AP is essentially a news wholesaler. Unfortunately, it's trying to ope…

Paul, thanks again! You've just given me a great idea for a 90-minute audio conference on "How to Add Emoticons to Your Social Networking Posts." tk

Paul -- good stuff! =D> thx tk

Probably because of the media firestorm that Paul mentioned, the city late Friday apparently decided to stop asking job applicants for their social networking site passwords. tk [B][URL]http://tinyurl.com/pr5rt9[/URL][/B]

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website is now officially reporting that the E-Verify deadline for federal contractors has been delayed again, until Sept. 8. tk [B][URL]http://tinyurl.com/pwrryc[/URL][/B]

Today's Wall Street Journal has an article about one of Judge Sotomayor's most contentious rulings. She and two federal appeals court colleagues said last year that New Haven, CT, had the right to reject the results of two promotion tests because no…

David, I just e-mailed your customer service number to you. tk

KSR, no, I didn't run the half in Nashville. Instead, I went out to the six-mile mark and cheered people on. Great race. I've done the full twice and the half twice. Instead of doing it again, though, I went to Cincy for the "Flying Pig Half Maratho…

As for the "new member" names you see flashing through at the bottom of the Forum's front page, some of course are real, but many belong to spammers. They don't actually get to join because we Forum police cull them out before they're officially act…

KSR, if I may jump in, Andrew has indeed been busy today! He just finished adding five new emoticons to the pool. Wait, Nae beat me to the punch! tk

Nae, I remember reading the same about Pork's plans. But I e-mailed this thread to his (former?) work e-mail address just in case. tk

We have a small field behind our building. You can park your trikes, smokers, and campers there (well, as long as the city doesn't notice since we'll probably be in violation of codes). Joannie, I'm glad you're bringing the smoker. Otherwise, Sharon…

Here is a link to a Wall St. Journal article on five ways to boost morale after a layoff. Probably stuff you have all thought of, but it may provide a good check list. tk [B][URL]http://tinyurl.com/cy9pvn[/URL] [/B]

I nearly froze up myself when I saw the dreaded Whale on HR Hero. (Andrew, find us a Harpoon Icon quick!) Yes, Twitter can be slow . . . apparently one of the consequences of not having a revenue model and an infrastructure that can keep up with t…

Here is a link to a Dallas Business Journal article that takes generally a cautionary tone toward Twitter, etc., from a business perspective: [B][URL]http://tinyurl.com/d9q5hv[/URL][/B] But be sure to read the last few paragraphs. As an HR pro, yo…

[SIZE=2][FONT=Tahoma]In case you're wondering about the "Forum e-mails" that neveradull mentioned, today's Hero Line ezine contains a note from the editor, Wendi Watts, explaining how to sign up. Here it is. Have a nice weekend, all. tk [/FONT][/SIZ…

This just in: cloudy and overcast here today. Bring back the sun. :cool: tk

Nae, some help appears to be on the way. tk [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/25/us/politics/25border.html?_r=1&th&emc=th[/url]

All I've read about the drug cartels flexing their muscle in the U.S., especially in AZ, reminds me of the depressingly brutal, grimly realistic cable TV series, "Breaking Bad." Anyone else watched it? tk

Nae, here is a new article on the subject from today's NY Times: [URL]http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/23/us/23border.html?th&emc=th[/URL] It mentions your points about the need for more border guards and equipment that will detect gun shipments…

Hit "Control minus-sign" to make it shrink. tk

Not sure why the font shrank, but Andrew is checking on it and will fix it. In the meantime, he says that if you type "Control +" (control plus-sign), the message you're looking at will get a little bigger. Hope this helps. tk

As a reward for your patience during the startup of the new Forum software, Andrew has added four new emoticons to the site. When you're posting a reply, you must click on the [More] button to see all of them. Happy first day of spring! tk

Spammers trying to get in. It's a good thing that, like Joannie, each Forum monitor carries a bazooka gun while making the rounds. tk

Thanks to Andrew, the 60-second delay in sending a second private message has been reduced to one second! Let me know, though, if you continue to encounter a longer delay. tk
-
I put the poll together. Good practice. Trying to catch up with ACU Frank in terms of his Forum mobility! tk

Joannie, thanks for the heads up. Until we can figure out whether the list has a useful purpose and can get it to work properly, we are disabling it at least for now. Also, thanks to everyone for your continued patience. Andrew is calling those of…

Joannie and others, the private messaging system is now activated. It has many bells and whistles, most of which should be readily apparent. For example, you'll know when the recipient has read your private message. There is a limit on the number of…
