Career-Op: Never Enough (2.60MB; download) -- Would you rather work for someone who praised you for your good work, or someone who constantly denigrated your efforts? It seems an easy choice to make, but every day I see people, managers and high-tech staffers alike trapped in relationships where praise is in short supply. Even more, these same businesses often fail or never even approach their optimal levels of success. Yet, these people often see no connection between the lack of praise and the fortunes of a store, department or company. The Never Enough syndrome can drive many a high-tech worker into other jobs, if not other careers.

Rip & Read Blogger Podcast for 2005-05-12 (6.53MB; download) -- Show #111. Listen here: Subscribe here: Here's what I Ripped & Read today: Fortune Cookie Story Ridge Opposed Raising the Terror Alert Several Times Respectful Disagreements Fortune Cookie StoryAnn Althouse reports on a NY Times story that had an interesting twist. How 110 persons got 5 of 6 numbers right on Powerball. And what's with the middle initial of the reporter on this NYT article? Should I be placing a bet somewhere? Here's what the story by Jennifer 8. Lee said in the Times said:Powerball lottery officials suspected fraud: how could 110 players in the March 30 drawing get five of the six numbers right? That made them all second-prize winners, and considering the number of tickets sold in the 29 states where the game is played, there should have been only four or five.But from state after state they kept coming in, the one-in-three-million combination of 22, 28, 32, 33, 39. It took some time before they had their answer: the players got their numbers inside fortune cookies, and all the cookies came from the same factory in Long Island City, Queens. Ridge Opposed Raising the Terror Alert Several TimesTom Ridge, the former Secretary of Homeland Security is quoted in a USA Today article saying that he did not agree with some of the terror alert raising decisions. That is not surprising. There was probably considerable debate in the White House about how seriously to take threats. Was the information credible? Should we wait until we are certain before raising the alert? These are valid and serious questions. But just look at how the left is spinning the story. Here's Kevin Drum in the Washington Monthly:Tom Ridge says Bush administration officials frequently pressed him to raise the terror alert level even when the evidence for doing so was weak: Ridge, who resigned Feb. 1, said Tuesday that he often disagreed with administration officials who wanted to elevate the threat level to orange, or "high" risk of terrorist attack, but was overruled. ...."More often than not we were the least inclined to raise it," Ridge told reporters. "Sometimes we disagreed with the intelligence assessment. Sometimes we thought even if the intelligence was good, you don't necessarily put the country on (alert). ... There were times when some people were really aggressive about raising it, and we said, 'For that?' " On the Daily Show last week, Ridge was adamant that politics was never, ever involved in raising the alert level. But if it wasn't politics, what was it? Do we have a crew of nervous nellies running the country? Well, Kevin, here's an idea: "Resonable people disagree". Why does the left instantly assume that it was Karl Rove conspiring to keep the electorate in fear that drove Bush to raise the alert, over the sane and rational objections of clear headed former Secretary Ridge? Steve Soto, on the Left Coaster considers it a plot:Remember all the times we wondered if the Bush Administration was using the color-coded terrorism threat level indicator for political gain? Remember the number of times the Justice Department and not the Department of Homeland Security was hyping a terror threat beyond what the CIA or FBI said the intelligence warranted? And we questioned whether or not the terror-threat level was nothing more than a political tool?At MyDD, the author suggests more deep conspiracies by showing a chart that correlates poll numbers with terror alerts. Effect = Cause, I guess:Combined with what Ridge has said, and the chart linked above, can there be any doubt that the Bush administration was frequently raising the terror alerts to help his election chances and increase his political capital rather than to signal actual threats? As Parker says, Howard Dean was right. Terror alerts have undoubtedly been used as a electoral weapon rather than as a safety measure. Isn't it possible that there really was a reason to fear attacks? What if we had been attacked and the terror alert had not been raised?
