Eliot&#8217;s poem The Hollow Men (1925) ends with the following stanza: This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper. We collectively seem to be striving toward Eliot&#8217;s end as we fail time after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First the (hopefully) good news: On 15 July the House of Representatives passed HR 1722, the Federal Telework Improvements Act. If finally enacted, the bipartisan bill would: Instruct the Office of Personnel Management to develop a uniform, government-wide telework policy for federal employees; Strengthen the federal government&#8217;s capacity to effectively integrate telework into Continuity of [...]]]></description>

In addition to &#8220;Who&#8217;s to blame?&#8221; we now have &#8220;Who&#8217;s really in charge?&#8221; Brittania roils the waves BP, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The latest events in the Gulf of Mexico have given a new dimension to the energy dilemma. With anywhere from 5,000 to 80,000 gallons of crude (depending on the expert you believe) spewing into the Gulf every day. BP (the well owner) is mad at Transocean (the owner of the exploded oil rig), Cameron (the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an old joke about an effective way to train a mule. Step one: Hit him over the head with a two-by-four because first you have to get his attention. This past month Iceland&#8217;s volcano Eyafjallajökull has definitely gotten the attention of almost anyone bound to or from Europe. Although estimates vary, the costs of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last August I wrote a blog about health care and telework. Given the recent events in the U.S. Congress I think it&#8217;s time to look again. The newly enacted Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act gives teleworkers, particularly self-employed teleworkers, a major reduction in those 3:00 AM worry sessions. Now it is possible for many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the often mentioned downsides of telecommuting from home is the lack of face-to-face contact with coworkers. No more conversations around the water cooler. This can be particularly true for full-time home-based telecommuters. In one of our telecommuting demonstration projects we even had a telecommuter who quit the program so he could go back [...]]]></description>

The focus of the blog was on the use of the Internet by Iranian dissidents against the current regime in Iran.

The chances that you&#8217;re able to be vaccinated against SF, in case you haven&#8217;t already received the shot, are less than planned [...]]]></description>
