Q: SSRS 2008 Report History not using changed RDL template We have migrated our application and reports from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008 R2. After testing, we found that Excel format of the report in both SSRS 2005 & SSRS 2008 R2 is different.
We have fixed this in the RDL file and uploaded that file in SSRS 2008. So, from that day/time onwards the format is correct. But when we download the history reports from SSRS 2008, they are still showing report in older format.
Is there any way we can point history reports to refer latest RDL file so that older reports would appear in proper format.
Thanks,

A: It sounds like you are referring to the report snapshots history. When report snapshots are created they include the report definition as it was at the time the snapshot was generated, and so will always use this definition. This cannot be changed, so there is no way to alter the format of historical snapshots from before you changed the report definition.

Back in 2010, only a few short years ago the Internet comprised roughly 200 Million websites. Today there are over One Billion websites, a staggering increase of 400 percent and climbing.
Now think about the impact of this next fact on your business. Ninety-five percent of the Internet is INVISIBLE. We only see the One Billion websites that have been indexed (cataloged) by search engines like Google.
With the exponential growth of the Internet it has become increasingly difficult for businesses (websites) to be found in search engines. For the inexperienced marketer it is now almost impossible to guarantee first page organic search results for businesses.
WSI's R&D team have developed a number of new innovations leveraging deep expertise and Silicon Valley relationships to create a competitive advantage for businesses of any size.
One of these ground-breaking innovations is the next generation of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) we've aptly called Adaptive SEO (ASEO™) – this is a new organic optimization methodology that helps maximize the competitive edge when customers are searching for your products and services.
This is a game-changer that can protect your marketing investment in uncertain and rapidly changing times.

10 Quotes on Childhood Recollections
October 29, 2014 by Susan Marg 2 Comments
(Please note: This was first posted on my new website YourBiography2.com.)
As we get older we find it difficult, if not impossible, to remember growing up. Yet we all have a first memory. Mine is the time I tied my shoes by myself. Oh, I was so excited and proud. I raced down the steps to tell my Mom.
Photo by: ToniVC
Here are ten quotes of early childhood recollections. They all make perfect sense, give the paths the speakers have taken and the careers they've had.
I spent my childhood eating. The only exercise I got was trying to twist off the cap of a jar of mayonnaise.
— Richard Simmons, fitness guru
Playing guitar was one of my childhood hobbies, and I had played a little at school and at camp. My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby – nothing more.
— Bonnie Raitt, singer
I have a love affair with tomatoes and corn. I remember them from my childhood. I only had them in the summer. They were extraordinary.
— Alice Waters, chef
My earliest thought, long before I was in high school, was just to go away, get out of my house, get out of my city. I went to Medford High School, but even in grade school and junior high, I fantasized about leaving.
— Paul Theroux, travel writer
One of my earliest memories was me singing 'Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin' at the top of my voice when I was seven. I got totally carried away. My grandmother, Sarah, was in the next room. I didn't even realize she was there. I was terribly embarrassed.
— James Taylor, singer
My earliest memories are doing commercials and TV.
— Jodie Foster, actress
I played music and sang from my earliest memories. The first pictures of me show me wandering around with a guitar that was larger than I was, and it became almost second nature to me.
— Dwight Yoakam, singer
I still love making hamburgers on the grill. I guess whenever I eat them childhood memories come up for me.
— Bobby Flay, chef
Chocolate is the first luxury. It has so many things wrapped up in it: deliciousness in the moment, childhood memories, and that grin-inducing feeling of getting a reward for being good.
— Mariska Hargitay, actress
I'm just lucky. I do have very clear memories of childhood. I find that many people don't, but I'm just very fortunate that I have that kind of memory.
— Beverly Cleary, writer of children's literature

Today's Parade magazine in the Sunday morning paper was all about "What America Eats." It was as loaded with statistics as a twice-baked potato is with calories.
Fish tacos with mango. Photo by: jpellgen
In some cases, I was with the majority and, others, with the minority. For example, 71% of us take supplements. That's my husband and me. He meticulously puts out our supplements to take with meals. If we're eating out, he puts them in his and her old film canisters to take with us.
However, only 12% have a sweet after dinner. We fall in this category, too – his influence. He saves room for dessert. As much as I like sweets, his portion is almost always larger than mine.
95% said they had started diets on either a Sunday or a Monday. Nope, that's not me. I start diets every day of the week.
11% said they don't have anything at all at breakfast. Nope, that's not me either. I always have a cup or two of coffee.
The Parade article doesn't go into how we eat. We're all too aware that we don't often sit down as a family at dinnertime anymore. Who has the time? As Marie Rudisill, also known as the Fruitcake Lady, notes in her memoir Ask Me Anything:
"So much has changed since I was growing up or, even later, raising a family, and not necessarily for the better. That probably sounds like an old person's point of view, but today, young or old, it's rush, rush, rush. Go to school. Go to the office. Go to band practice or football practice or yoga. Go to the dentist. Cut the lawn. Wash the car. Do the laundry. Study, study, study. Pay bills. Pay attention. Meet that deadline. Work, work, work. And don't forget to do your homework. Whew! Does that sound like a good way to live to you? Who has time to peel a carrot? Dice an onion? Chop up a melon? I guess no one, since everything now comes in little plastic containers already peeled, diced and chopped."
Even as family rituals have changed, everyone has a favorite food or oft-visited restaurant. What are yours? They can be a meaningful part of a life or family history.
Filed Under: The Way We Were Tagged With: family history, food, Fruitcake Lady, memoir, rituals, statistics
I went to this restaurant last night that was set up like a big buffet in the shape of an ouija board. You'd think about what kind of food you want, and the table would move across the floor to it.
– Steven Wright
On this website I will look at history, her story, true stories and fiction, considering the quirky, crazy things we once said and did compared to the quirky, crazy way we live today. I'll comment on gossip, too, what we talked about way back when and who captivates us currently. We might find out that the more things change the more they remain the same.
This memoir is the story of Marie Rudisill's amazing life as told to Susan Marg. Well into her nineties she became a pop culture phenomenon as "The Fruitcake Lady" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, going mouth to mouth with anyone who asked her a question or sought help with a problem. Get ready. You never know what she'll say next. For more info, pleased visit "Books." Now available on Amazon.

The Israel Netanya Kibbutz Orchestra
A taste of Israel, Bands and Orchestra, Did you know?, Events, General, Good to know / November 14, 2016 / By Arelle Kay
Home / Good to know / A taste of Israel
Members of the Kibbutz Movement established the Israel Netanya Kibbutz Orchestra, or the NKO, in 1970. Originally, the musicians, who lived in kibbutzim all over the country, would gather regularly to play chamber music together, and eventually the orchestra was established.
Today the NKO is under the patronage of the Kibbutz Movement and the city of Netanya. Regarded as very innovative and unique musical institute, the NKO presents classical and modern programs with different artistic styles, which often include vocals and visuals.
The orchestra performs 120 concerts every season, bringing music to the peripheries in Israel and includes a concert series for subscribers, concerts for youth, and music appreciation workshops in schools. The NKO also has a mentoring program for young musicians in 8th-12th grades, giving them an opportunity to learn and perform alongside professional musicians.
Mandoline player and conductor, Shamuel Elbaz, serves as the orchestra's principal conductor. Swedish conductor and trombone player, Christian Lindberg, serves as the orchestra's musical director. The NKO also hosts other famous foreign and local conductors, soloists and choirs. The orchestra often performs overseas, and has recorded works by Haydn, Vivaldi, and Israeli composers.
Concert venues include the cities of Netanya, Tel Aviv, and Nahariya, and Kibbutz Ein Hahoresh, Kibbutz Dorot, Kibbutz Mizra, Kibbutz Givat Brenner, and Beit Gavriel.
More information about the NKO and activities can be found on their Website.

Traveling in Israel or overseas is a blessing; writing about it- is even more fun. It's all about people, history and scenery. Meeting tourists and guiding them around, makes me feel that I am on a mission; a path to unfold the Holy land, the land of Israel.

Peter Schooff: This is Peter Schooff, Managing Editor at BPM.com and today I'm very pleased to speak with Ivan Seselj, the CEO of Promapp. Ivan has more than 10 years experience in business process improvement roles across a range of organizations and industries. And by leveraging his finance and internal audit background, he founded Promapp in 2002. He has helped a great number of organizations improve both their processes and their performance and that's exactly what we're going to be talking about today. So, thank you so much for joining me today, Ivan.
Ivan Seselj: No worries. Hi Peter.
Peter Schooff: So, just to start it off, exactly what made you found Promapp?
Ivan Seselj: Okay, well look, I was one of those people running process projects, part of these big transformation projects for large organizations, and felt like they were working perfectly fine for the projects would all sign off. And my real surprise was just how badly they were received after the projects. They were basically not relevant at all. They weren't used. They weren't alive in any way. They weren't, to me, making an impact at all and I just thought, "This is crazy. There's got to be a better way." So that's what started my journey with Promapp.
Peter Schooff: Gotcha. So, let's drill down on that a little further. What did you feel was not working with other BPM tools?
Ivan Seselj: There's two areas I thought that where the failures were coming through. One was just no one's engaging with this information. No one's using it. There's got to be a reason. And I felt that this stuff was just written for the wrong audience. I was writing my process information and summarizing and getting that sign off within that really controlled environment of a project. And the guys out in teams that are using it every day, that are interacting with customers, are just a different audience. And so I think that's a stone cold killer for engagement, if it's not even written for you.
Ivan Seselj: Yeah. The second aspect, I sort of thought, "This has got to be alive. It's got to be living, breathing, changing. It's got to be the cause of conversation around a water cooler and let's do something about this." You know, that's how alive I consider the process to be. You need process owners involved in that conversation with tools that they can drive, that they can accept responsibility for. So that's the second aspect. I just think it's got to be something that every day business teams, process owners can own, can drive. That was the second area not working.
Peter Schooff: Definitely. So engagement is definitely key and that's what we've seen at BPM.com. So, a recent survey of U.S. companies indicate that only 46% of companies have a BPM system in place. Why exactly would you say that number is so low after so many years of BPM?
Ivan Seselj: Look, from what we see, and we have our fair share of pitches where we come in and we see just how dire the process environment is and the culture is and they still don't ... You know, the executive team just runs though the decision process and they still don't proceed. Thankfully that's something that's happening less and less now. I genuinely think some of these leaders and exec teams think they've got process running, they've got it covered. 'Cause I've seen some process maps on walls or they've got some manuals around or their auditors are running around doing audits and there's no red flags. And they just don't realize how bad the situation is. And I think, depending on the style of leaders that you have, there's going to be cases where they're sort of treating the symptoms. They're trying to blame technology, perhaps. Or "We can fix this by getting a new ERP," rather than really taking a good hard look at their own processes. So, I think part of it is exec teams think they're responding by fixing the symptoms rather than the underlying cause, which is just poor process.
Peter Schooff: Very interesting. Now, you have a long history with processes. So, why do you think it is so important than a company focuses on processes?
Ivan Seselj: Okay, well, I think now more than ever you can't avoid the fact that we're in the age of disruption, of digital disruption, of markets turning upside down. And you're going to get left behind. And I think we're already seeing it where if you're not constantly challenging how you do things and making that call to every team, every person, almost, in your organization to step up to that challenge and look at how we're doing things, then you're going to get left behind. So, I think it's very much undersold as processes ... Just about slight incremental improvements, perhaps or having some control over how we do things. It's actually a much bigger picture now, which is very much your company's survival.
Peter Schooff: Definitely. Now, let's say there's one takeaway from this podcast. Exactly what is the key to successful BPM?
Ivan Seselj: Okay, my take on successful BPM is across the board collaboration across every team, everyone feels like they've got a voice, everyone feel's like they're participating, and the conversation of improvement and innovation. And that means, when it comes down to successful BPM, engagement, simplicity, communication at a level teams understand. So we're very much, at Promapp, focused on that whole "Look BPM is just as much a communication platform as it is a control and improvement platform." So, that's what I think the absolute key is to BPM: engagement and simplicity.
Peter Schooff: Definitely. I agree completely. This is Peter Schooff of BPM.com speaking with Ivan Seselj, the CEO of Promapp. Ivan, thank you so much for joining me on the podcast today.
Ivan Seselj: You're welcome. Thanks, Peter.

The Albuquerque Silvers were an American basketball team based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which was a member of the Continental Basketball Association (CBA). The team was coached by Norm Ellenberger, the former coach of the University of New Mexico men's basketball team.[1] The franchise was run by P. Patrick McKernan who was also the president and general manager of the Pacific Coast League Albuquerque Dukes.[2]
The team was previously known as the Las Vegas Silvers, but was re-located to Albuquerque on February 10, 1983 by the CBA after the team owners failed to meet their financial obligation to the league.[3] According to the CBA, Silvers owners Patrick Shimbashi and Ken Ford—who together owned 90 percent of the team—could not agree on a way to fund the team.[2]

MTA proves more efficient than Parks Dept.
The new Metro-North rail station at Yankee Stadium opens on Saturday. This station is an especially important development for the Yankees in their War on Red Sox, because the New Haven line will bring fans from Connecticut (our front-line against "Red Sox Nation") to the park.
About two years after construction began, Metro-North on Saturday will begin direct service to its new $91 million Yankee Stadium/153rd St. station this weekend for New Haven, Harlem and Hudson line passengers. Metro-North expects up to 10,000 fans to pass through the station on game days.
We repeat, the MTA is more efficient than the Parks Dept.
Well, the City and the Yankees are taking their sweet time in demolishing the old Yankee Stadium. Sure, they promised to have the job done by opening day, but now that they've missed that mark, those in charge of taking down baseball's greatest building are making sure they do it profitably right.
Geoffrey Croft of the NYC Park Advocates is not happy about how the demolition has been handled. Croft said in yesterday's Daily News, "This administration did everything possible to service the Yankees, including ignoring the law and treating the community's replacement parks as an afterthought."
I hereby propose a new plan: Until the parks are completed - Rather than squeeze everyone onto the limited park-space currently available in the South Bronx, all organized recreational baseball and soccer games should be played on the front lawn of Gracie Mansion. The City will, of course, provide transportation to and from (the newly renamed) Gracie Park.
The Demolition of Yankee Stadium.
Yankee players want a piece of the action.
Despite Lonn Trost, fans can now get close to the field during batting practice.


I left school in May, 1976… It was the long hot summer, it was the summer when I discovered what that thing was all about… For three months I was engaged to a girl called Jane. I had failed 9 o'levels, due to the fact I'd not gone to school much in the last 18 months… I'd discovered how to bunk off shortly after my Brother had died in an accident, and after a while it became easier to not go to school than it was to go… An awkward meeting with the deputy head… In the eleventh hour I capitulated and went back to take my O'levels, but surprisingly to no avail, as even rudimentary schooling requires some attendance. Given that 1976 was a long hot summer, and I had no prospect of qualifications, I found it some what difficult to find a job. I happily took the £7.59 a week dole money, and lived off the hog. Booze, fags and the delights of nervous sexual adventure. By the time the results came out, and Jane was no more,( leaving the sedentary delights of my amorous endeavours for the better prospects of some guy that was a machinist at Enots) I discovered that the world outside school was not going to welcome me with open arms. I therefore had to come up with a better plan. I persuaded my school to take me back to do resits, and then A'levels.
I had the best of intentions. Then Marie happened.
I used to go home for lunch, as I lived near the school… I was feeling rather miserable a walked back into the school one September lunchtime… I was being berated by parents and teachers alike as I was still not reaching the required standard… I must work harder the familiar refrain shot at me from all sides… To be honest, I had a pretty nihilistic opinion on life and schooling in particular.
Anyway, I walked into the school around the back of the Sports Hall, where all the smokers used to hide out. I was hoping to cadge a fag. Suddenly I stopped dead in my tracks,there before me stood a beautiful tall dark girl, a girl I had never met before. She had been in the school for two years, but I had not, so that's probably why I had missed her.
She was stood chatting to my mate, Morgan who was looking censoriously at the rogue cigarette, anxious not to be caught in the cross-fire should a teacher suddenly appear.
She, the immortal she, the only one, she ran up beside me.
We went back to her house, a funny pointy roof house I used to call the Witch's Cauldron.
And 42 years later she still is!
God I miss you so much my beloved!
Nice. Insult a man's car, but it didn't put him off. The car didn;t hold it against me either and when I had to drive it, started first time, a first for a non-him driver. He was stunned!

NLRB Holds That Employers May Prohibit Non-Employee Union Organizers From Soliciting Employees in the Public Spaces of Their Facilities
By Tyler T. Hendry
On June 14, 2019, the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB" or the "Board") issued a decision in UPMC and its Subsidiary, UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside, reversing long-standing precedent and holding that employers may bar non-employee union representatives/organizers from soliciting employees or promoting union membership in public areas within an employer's facility.

NLRB Eases Burden of Demonstrating Independent Contractor Status by Overruling Prior Decision
By Nicholas P. Jacobson
On January 25, 2019, the National Labor Relations Board issued a decision clarifying the test for determining whether workers are independent contractors or employees. In SuperShuttle DFW, Inc., the Board reversed its 2014 decision in FedEx Home Delivery where it revised the traditional common-law test for determining whether workers are employees or independent contractors. Prior to 2014, the test analyzed whether common-law factors set forth by the Supreme Court showed that the workers had significant entrepreneurial opportunity for gain or loss.

Recent NLRB Decision Restricts the Scope of Protected Concerted Activities Under the National Labor Relations Act
By Adam P. Mastroleo
On January 11, 2019, in Alstate Maintenance, LLC, the National Labor Relations Board issued a decision that draws a clear distinction between employee conduct that constitutes protected "concerted activities" under the National Labor Relations Act and employee conduct that constitutes unprotected individual action.
Under Section 7 of the NLRA, employees have a right to engage in "concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection." Over the years, as the Board majority in Alstate Maintenance pointed out, the Board has issued decisions that "blurred the distinction" between protected group action and unprotected individual action. The Board majority characterized its Alstate Maintenance decision as the beginning of the process of restoring that distinction "by overruling conflicting precedent that erroneously shields individual action and thereby undermines congressional intent to limit the protection afforded under the Act to concerted activity for the purpose of mutual aid or protection."

SEIU Local 500 Withdraws Petition to Represent Resident Advisors at George Washington University
Yesterday afternoon, SEIU Local 500 made a request to Region Five of the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") to withdraw its petition to represent a bargaining unit of Resident Advisors ("RAs") at George Washington University. The Regional Director of NLRB Region Five granted the request. So, the election to determine whether the RAs wished to join a union (which was scheduled to occur today), has been canceled. At least for now, this means that the issue of whether RAs at institutions of higher education are employees who are entitled to unionize will not be presented to the full NLRB or a federal appellate court for a decision.
NLRB Region Five Rules that Resident Advisors at George Washington University are Employees Who May Unionize
On April 21, 2017, the Acting Regional Director of Region Five of the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") issued a Decision and Direction of Election holding that Resident Advisors ("RAs") at George Washington University are employees under the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") who are entitled to vote in a union representation election. This decision comes on the heels of the NLRB's recent decision in Columbia University, holding that graduate and undergraduate student assistants are employees who are also entitled to unionize. This ruling by NLRB Region Five could potentially open the door for unions to organize RAs at other private institutions of higher education. The representation petition at George Washington was filed by Local 500 of the Service Employees International Union ("SEIU"). SEIU sought to represent a bargaining unit of all full-time and regular part-time RAs at George Washington, which consisted of approximately 110 individuals. As a condition of becoming an RA, an individual must be a full-time undergraduate student enrolled in a degree-granting program, and must have completed his or her first year of studies. RAs at George Washington are expected to be in good academic and judicial standing. George Washington argued that RAs should not be considered "employees" under the NLRA for two principal reasons: (1) its requirement for RAs to be undergraduate students is necessary for the RAs to develop a "peer-to-peer mentoring relationship" with their assigned residents; and (2) RAs are an important part of George Washington's residence life program, which is an extension of its academic program. The Acting Regional Director of NLRB Region Five rejected George Washington's arguments after a hearing on these issues, finding that the RAs have an employment relationship with the University. The Acting Regional Director determined that RAs perform services for the University, are subject to the University's control, and perform their services in exchange for payment. The RAs at George Washington receive a stipend of $2,500 for the academic year, less applicable tax withholdings, as well as free on-campus housing valued at $12,665 per year. The RA position description at George Washington sets forth four main categories of job duties, along with a list of particular expectations for each category of job duties. The Acting Regional Director also found that RAs are subject to discipline, up to termination, if they fail to comply with George Washington's policies or if they fail to remain in good academic or judicial standing. One particular piece of evidence that the Acting Regional Director found to be significant was that RAs at George Washington are required to sign a four-page document entitled "Resident Advisor Employment Agreement," which describes the University's "expectations and employment terms" for RAs. According to the Acting Regional Director, the mere fact that being an RA might be part of the educational experience of an undergraduate student at George Washington does not preclude a determination that the relationship is principally an economic relationship. The Acting Regional Director wrote: "Employment experiences can simultaneously be educational or part of one's personal development, yet they nonetheless retain an indispensable economic core." A representation election will be scheduled in the coming weeks for the RAs at George Washington to determine if they wish to be represented by SEIU for purposes of collective bargaining. George Washington has the right to seek review by the NLRB and potentially by a federal appellate court if SEIU wins the election. At this point, two of the three occupied seats on the NLRB are filled by Democratic appointees who are pro-union. There are also two vacancies on the NLRB. When those vacancies are filled by President Trump, it is expected that the NLRB will have its first Republican majority in approximately nine years. Therefore, this ruling by NLRB Region Five may not be the last word on this important issue for institutions of higher education.
NLRB Again Imposes Duty to Bargain Over Discipline Even Before Agreement on a Contract
On August 26, 2016, the National Labor Relations Board issued a decision in Total Security Management Illinois 1, LLC, in which it held that an employer who is engaged in negotiations for an initial collective bargaining agreement with a recently certified union must provide the union with notice and an opportunity to bargain prior to imposing discipline on an employee within the bargaining unit. By doing so, the NLRB effectively reinstated its prior decision in Alan Ritchey, Inc., which had previously been invalidated by the Supreme Court in NLRB v. Noel Canning. Prior to Alan Ritchey, employers had been able to continue to impose discipline consistently with past practices while initial negotiations with a recently certified union were ongoing, and they were able to do so without providing notice and an opportunity to bargain. Employers can no longer comfortably do so without risking a violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Instead, employers who are engaged in negotiations with a recently certified union will need to provide the union with notice and an opportunity to bargain over any discipline that will materially alter an employee's terms of employment (i.e., termination, suspension, demotion, etc.). However, the duty to bargain will not apply to discipline that does not materially alter the terms of employment (i.e., a verbal or written warning). The obligation also does not apply if the employer and the recently certified union have separately agreed on a disciplinary process. Employers who are in the process of negotiating an initial collective bargaining agreement with a recently certified union should be mindful of this obligation going forward.
NLRB Rules that Graduate (and Undergraduate!) Student Assistants are Employees and May Unionize
By Peter A. Jones
The National Labor Relations Board, in Columbia University, issued a 3-1 decision yesterday holding that graduate, and undergraduate, student assistants are common law employees within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act and therefore are eligible to organize and bargain collectively under federal labor law. In so doing, the Board overruled its prior determination in Brown University. Board Member Miscimarra wrote a lengthy dissent, arguing that the educational nature of the relationship between student and educational institution should dictate that student assistants are not employees and therefore they should not be eligible to organize and bargain collectively. After much speculation, and following an invitation for briefing in December 2015, the NLRB rejected the Brown holding that graduate assistants cannot be statutory employees because they are "primarily students and have a primarily educational, not economic, relationship with their university." The Board first noted that it has the statutory authority to treat student assistants as statutory employees. The Board applied a common law test and indicated that when student assistants perform "work" at the direction of a college or university, for which they are compensated, a common law employment relationship will be deemed to exist and the students will be eligible to organize and bargain collectively. The Board indicated that the new test will apply to all student assistants, including graduate assistants engaged in research funded by external grants (and subject to the conditions of those grants). The Board also determined that the petitioned-for bargaining unit at Columbia -- which included graduate students, terminal Master's degree students, and undergraduate students -- constituted an appropriate unit and that none of the petitioned-for classifications consisted of temporary employees who should be excluded from the unit. Finally, the Board remanded the case to the Regional Director for consideration of whether student assistants not currently performing their assistant duties should be eligible to vote based upon a continuing expectation of future common law employment. The Board's decision was long the subject of speculation and has been anticipated by many commentators. In the wake of the decision, colleges and universities should anticipate increased organizing activity on their campuses and will have the obligation to bargain with units comprised of student assistants if they are recognized after an NLRB election. Given the breadth of the Board's decision, and the potential units that could be petitioned for by unions, this decision has the potential to represent a significant challenge if broad units of student assistants are voted in and certified under NLRB procedures.
NLRB Holds That Unions Can Organize Temp/Contract Workers Together With Host Employer's Workers
By David E. Prager
Temporary, contracted-for, or leased employees who are employed by a "supplier," but are assigned to work at another employer's premises, currently comprise as much as 5% of American workers, and are among the fastest growing sectors. Noting this trend, the National Labor Relations Board, in its Miller & Anderson, Inc. decision this week, announced a new standard that makes it much easier for unions to organize these temporary employees working at another employer's facility; and further, allows them to be organized in a single bargaining unit together with the host employer's employees who perform similar functions, if both groups share a "community of interest." The case addressed a petition by the Sheet Metal Workers for a union election among a group of (a) Miller & Anderson's workers at its Pennsylvania construction site, together with (b) a second group of sheet metal workers employed by a separate company, Tradesmen International, who had supplied additional workers at the site on a contract basis. Under the Board's newly-liberalized "joint employer" standards promulgated in its recent Browning-Ferris decision, Miller & Anderson was deemed to be the joint employer of its own sheet metal workers on the site and also those provided by contract with Tradesmen International. By contrast, however, Tradesmen International had no employment relationship at all with the Miller & Anderson employees. Both groups -- and both employers -- were included by the Board in a single unit, on the ground that they shared a "community of interest" since they worked side-by-side under common working conditions. Thus, the Board's decision allowed a single bargaining unit of employees even where there would be two different employers at the bargaining table -- with potentially differing interests -- without the consent of both employers. Further, it authorized for the first time a bargaining unit with two employers, where one (the "supplier" of temporary help) employed only a portion of the unit, but had no employment relationship with the remainder. The Board's majority, however, brushed aside concerns raised by dissenting Board Member Miscimarra that this result would be "unworkable" and lead to "confusion and instability," holding instead that each employer will be expected to bargain over "jointly employed workers' terms and conditions which it possesses the authority to control." This decision should be viewed together with the Board's newly-expanded joint-employer standards articulated in Browning-Ferris (holding that "indirect" or "potential" control over terms and conditions suffices to show joint employer status; "actual" or "immediate" exercise of control are no longer required). Together, these cases allow proliferation of combined units including not only employees directly employed by an employer, but also temps performing similar functions, in circumstances that may involve only indirect control by the host company, or incidental collaboration with the temp agency. The decision appears to be yet another element of the Board's program to broaden opportunities for unionization. At a minimum, employers who are supplied by agencies with temporary, contract or leased personnel -- and agencies who supply these personnel -- must be wary that these arrangements are now targets for union organizing, and that the user of these personnel is more likely to be viewed as jointly employing both groups. Employers using these personnel, and agencies who supply them, should closely review their contractual arrangements, and the level of control assigned to each employer in practice, with these issues in mind.
NLRB's "Quickie" Election Rule Upheld
By Erin S. Torcello
Last month, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the lower court's decision upholding the National Labor Relations Board's "quickie" election rule. As we previously reported, the final rule, among other things, significantly reduces the time period between the filing of an election petition to the date of the election, narrows the issues that may be raised at a pre-election hearing, and requires disclosure of employees' personal information, including personal telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. The rule was effective as of April 14, 2015. The Associated Builders and Contractors of Texas, Inc. ("ABC") mounted the challenge to the rule's lawfulness, asserting that the Board both exceeded its authority under the National Labor Relations Act (the "Act") and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. ABC first argued that the rule unlawfully postpones the resolution of certain voter eligibility issues until after the election is complete, in contravention of the Act. The Fifth Circuit rejected this argument, reasoning that under the plain language of the Act the purpose of the pre-election hearing is to determine whether a question of representation exists -- not to resolve all voter eligibility issues. Next, ABC contended that the rule arbitrarily and capriciously requires the disclosure of employees' personal information to the petitioning union in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. The Fifth Circuit found that the Board had sufficiently considered employees' privacy concerns as well as the burden on employers when it expanded the disclosure requirement, and thus, the requirement was not arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. ABC also challenged the rule on the grounds that faster elections interfere with an employer's right to free speech during organizing campaigns. In rejecting this argument, the Fifth Circuit found that there is no language in the Act which requires a specified waiting period between the filing of the petition and the date of the election. Additionally, the Fifth Circuit noted that the Board's Regional Directors, who are responsible for setting the date of the election, are to consider the interests of both parties when setting an election date, which may include an employer's opportunity to communicate its views concerning unionization to its employees. Now that the Fifth Circuit has joined an earlier decision from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia upholding the Board's "quickie" election rule, employers must be prepared to respond before an election petition is even filed. The time employers have from date of petition to date of election has been effectively cut in half (from about 6 weeks to about 3 weeks), making a successful counter campaign extremely difficult to mount without advance planning and preparation. We recommend regular supervisory training and the creation of a tentative campaign blueprint that is ready for immediate activation in the event of a union petition. As before, an employer's best opportunity to remain union-free comes from early awareness of organizing activity and an effective pre-petition campaign that discourages employees from signing the number of union authorization cards needed for the union to trigger an NLRB election.
The NLRB Finds Whole Foods' No-Recording Policy Unlawful
In Whole Foods Market, Inc., the National Labor Relations Board, in a 2-1 decision, held that Whole Foods' rules prohibiting the recording of conversations in the workplace violated Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act. The two rules that were found to be unlawful were nearly identical. Both appeared in the company's General Information Guide, a guide that applied to all employees. The first rule prohibited the recording of company meetings without prior approval from store management, and the second rule prohibited all recording in the workplace without similar prior approval. The stated purpose of both rules (as set forth in the Guide) was to encourage open conversation and dialogue, and to eliminate the chilling effect that may exist when someone is concerned a conversation is being secretly recorded. Contrary to the stated purpose of the rules (to encourage open and honest communication), the Board majority instead found that such rules would reasonably be interpreted by employees to prohibit them from engaging in protected Section 7 activity. The Board majority reasoned that such rules would unlawfully prohibit employees from engaging in Section 7 activity such as (1) recording images of protected picketing, (2) documenting hazardous working conditions, or (3) documenting and publicizing various issues relating to terms and conditions of employment. The Board majority rejected the employer's (and the dissent's) contention that the stated intent of the rules (to encourage open and honest communications in the workplace without fear of surreptitious recordings) constituted a valid overriding employer interest to justify the rules. So, it is clear that the current Board will likely find no-recording rules in the workplace to be a violation of the NLRA unless the employer can establish a valid overriding interest to justify such rules. Considering the current pro-union makeup of the Board, establishing such an overriding interest will likely be difficult, and such rules will be aggressively scrutinized. Nonetheless, certain narrowly tailored restrictions supported by valid business justifications may be upheld by the Board. For example, a rule prohibiting the recording of meetings in which confidential information or trade secrets are discussed, or a rule prohibiting the recording of conversations involving private client or patient information, may be found to be lawful. However, at this point, employers should be wary of imposing broad no-recording rules in the workplace. Employers may require employees to follow applicable state or federal laws regarding secret recordings. The impact of an employer's ability to impose this restriction is limited in New York, where an individual may lawfully record a conversation as long as the individual doing the recording is a party to the conversation. However, an employer's ability to impose this restriction would have a significant impact in states such as Massachusetts and California, where the law requires that all parties to a conversation must consent to the recording of the conversation. The Board's decision in the Whole Foods case may not necessarily be the last word on this issue, because the company has appealed the decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which may be more sympathetic to the valid business justification for the company's no-recording rules. However, it may be worthwhile for employers to consider whether they currently have policies in their employee handbooks that prohibit recordings in the workplace, and if so, whether those policies should be revised. Employers should consult with legal counsel to assess the potential valid business justifications for the policies and to review any recording laws that may be applicable to employees in particular locations. Both the valid business justifications and any legal restrictions on recordings in the workplace should be expressly stated in the policies.

Robert Kraft, Patriots Owner, Charged With Solicitation In Florida The state attorney's office says the New England Patriots owner has been charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution. The sting has also ensnared magnates John Havens and John Childs.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft faces misdemeanor charges over two visits to a Jupiter, Fla., day spa, where police allege that he paid for sex acts.
The Florida state attorney's office in Palm Beach says New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has been charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution, days after police alleged surveillance video had caught Kraft during two visits to the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Fla.
State Attorney Dave Aronberg said at a news conference Monday that Kraft, a resident of Massachusetts who also has a home in Palm Beach, is among 25 people facing first-degree misdemeanor charges of soliciting another to commit prostitution.
As for potential penalties, Aronberg said the charge potentially carries a prison sentence of up to one year, along with "mandatory 100 hours of community service, a mandatory $5,000 fine, and a mandatory class on the dangers of prostitution and human trafficking."
The police investigation into the spa was aimed at stopping human trafficking, which Aronberg equated to "modern day slavery" and called an "evil in our midst."
Officials will send Kraft a summons about the charge, the state attorney said. He also said all of the cases will be handled in the same way.
"No one gets any special justice in Palm Beach County," Aronberg said. He later added that none of the alleged "johns" were targeted, saying they come from "all walks of life — there's rich [and] poor, there's young and old."
The women who worked at the spa were victims of a criminal enterprise who deserve the government's help, Aronberg said. While he didn't provide new details about how the women who worked at the Jupiter spa arrived in the U.S., the state attorney described how human traffickers often lure women to come to the U.S. for the promise of a better life, but instead force them into becoming sex workers.
Kraft and the other men, including former Citigroup President and COO John Havens, and Wall Street financier John Childs, were snared in a sting operation that targeted the strip-mall massage parlor and spa — part of a broader investigation into what officials allege is a system of human trafficking and money-laundering.
Martin County Sheriff William Snyder, whose office opened the investigation that led to more than 300 arrest warrants across Florida counties, told NPR's All Things Considered the sting was launched after receiving a tip about one of the illicit businesses.
A health care worker visiting one of the day spas noticed suitcases in one of the massage parlors and other indicators that some of the women might be living in the storefront business, Snyder said. Eventually, officials discovered that six to eight women were living in the small commercial space at any given time.
"They were staying inside the massage parlor for 24 hours a day, seven days a week," Snyder explained, adding that the women, most of whom do not speak English, "were working seven days a week."
He said the women cooked food on hot plates and slept on the same massage tables where they were forced to provide sexual services for eight to 15 men per day.
A Chinese woman currently in protective custody has provided grim details about how some of the women ended up working there.
She told investigators she was offered a job "making a lot of money" in an American nail salon, Snyder said. "And before she knew it she came here and found herself in the sex trafficking industry in massage parlors."
She did not speak out because she feared her family in China would be put at risk if she cooperated with law enforcement.
In other cases, he said, women are trafficked into the country with their children and forced into making a horrible bargain with their captors: Engage in sex work in exchange for the well-being of their children.
"There are coercion points that keep them in bondage and the person with the key is not the trafficker. It's the men who go into these parlors and avail themselves of this human misery," Snyder told NPR. "I think they are monsters."
The Martin County probe quickly led to a multi-jurisdictional investigation in Indian River County — where billionaire Childs and three law enforcement officers were snagged — and Palm Beach County, where Kraft and Havens were charged.
Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr said in a press conference on Friday that there is video evidence of the criminal acts "for all of the individuals being charged," including Kraft.
"We categorically deny that Mr. Kraft engaged in any illegal activity," a spokesman for The Kraft Group told NPR Friday in a statement about the case. "Because it is a judicial matter, we will not be commenting further."
Jupiter police raided the Orchids of Asia spa early last week, Kerr said at a news conference Friday. In addition to Jupiter, the coordinated police operation targeted businesses in Martin County and Indian River County. The Jupiter raid came after police collected video evidence from cameras hidden inside the facility.
"We're as equally stunned as everybody else," Kerr said of the high-profile suspects who now faced solicitation charges.
Kraft's is not the only boldface name among the spa's alleged clients. Also on the list is Citigroup's former president and chief operation officer John Havens.
The spa charges $59 for a half-hour treatment and $79 for a full hour, Detective Andrew Sharp said on Friday. When Sharp was asked if there is video evidence of Kraft in the massage parlor room receiving alleged sex acts, he replied, "The answer to that is yes."
In addition to seeking charges against men who visited the spa, Jupiter police also arrested its owner, Hua Zhang, and its manager, Lei Wang.
Kraft, 77, has a net worth that's estimated at some $6.6 billion. He was recently ranked No. 79 on Forbes magazine's list of the wealthiest people in the U.S. Most famously, Kraft has turned the Patriots into a dynasty, winning multiple Super Bowl titles since its first championship in 2002. He acquired the franchise in 1994.
Childs, founder of private equity firm J.W. Childs Associates, was among 165 people charged by the Vero Beach Police Department and whose photo was released on the police website.
"I have received no contact by the police department about this charge," he told Bloomberg on Friday. "The accusation of solicitation of prostitution is totally false. I have retained a lawyer."
A man who answered the listed phone number for Havens told the news outlet: "I have no idea what you are talking about," when asked about the charges.
In addition to the criminal charge in Florida, Kraft also faces the possibility that the NFL could take action against him.
League spokesman Brian McCarthy said on Friday that the NFL is "aware" of the allegations and is monitoring the case. The NFL's personal conduct policy explicitly prohibits sex offenses — and the rules apply to everyone in the league, McCarthy said.
The policy also seeks to impose a higher order of responsibility for one's actions than simply avoiding being found guilty by the justice system.
On Monday, the NFL issued an updated statement saying that it is "seeking a full understanding of the facts," and pledging to "take appropriate action as warranted based on the facts."

Giants' coach Tom Coughlin reiterates concern about pass rush
New York Giants' coach Tom Coughlin is continuing to voice concern about the team's missing pass rush.
By Ed Valentine@Valentine_Ed Oct 9, 2012, 2:01pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Giants' coach Tom Coughlin reiterates concern about pass rush
Jim O'Connor-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire
After the New York Giants failed to register a sack, or really generate any pressure on quarterback Brandon Weeden to speak of, in Sunday's 41-27 victory over the Cleveland Browns, Giants' coach Tom Coughlin expressed concern about his faltering pass rush.
Coughlin continued that theme during an appearance on WFAN with Boomer and Craig.
"We are concerned with it because it's such a big part of our game and it's the thing that has really been our calling card for so long. We're looking at it very closely each week and trying to figure out how we can help our guys create some situations where they're one-on-one and I think we're going to get to that," Coughlin said. "We have very talented young men and we've got to get to a position where we can turn them loose."
The Giants' secondary is struggling with injuries, and Coughlin said the pass rush needs to help the short-handed secondary. New York has only eight sacks in five games.
"We're battling through it just like everyone else is, but we will be fine," Coughlin said. "We get ourselves going with some pressure on the quarterback and I think our secondary play will improve as well."
Coughlin added that he did not know when injured wide receiver Hakeem Nicks (foot/knee) would be able to return.


Your firewall policy seems to allow UDP packets with a specific source port (for example, port 53) to pass through while it blocks UDP packets to the same destination ports but with a random source port.
In the Result section, the service lists up to 16 such destination ports that can be reached by the UDP probes with a source port of 53. Note that in a default scan, we have only used port 53 as the source port. It is possible that the firewall also allows UDP packets with other well-known ports as source ports to go through.
Make sure that all your filtering rules are correct and strict enough. If they are not, change the firewall rules to filter these requests with a particular source port.
What if no firewall is in the environment?
Any suggestions on this vulnerability since I have Windows Firewall turned off?

PRESERVING INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES THROUGH A MORE INTEGRATED NATIONAL CULTURAL STRATEGY 47
Prasetyo, Hazairin Eko (2012) PRESERVING INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES THROUGH A MORE INTEGRATED NATIONAL CULTURAL STRATEGY 47. In: International Seminar Language Maintenance and Shift II. ISSN: 2088-6799, 5-6 Juli 2012, Hotel Pandanaran Semarang.

By the end of this century, according to Unesco, more than 3000 languages people in various parts of the world use for communications today will disappear. In Indonesia, Unesco notes that 137 local languages are in the state of endangeredment. The causes for such a cultural change are varied from geographical to political, from sociological to linguistic, and from philosophical to pragmatic. An important aspect of the extinction of a language is the disappearance of certain philosophical and cultural values contained in the language expressions which are very relevant with the dynamics of the society needing more effective instruments for maintaining its identity against globalization values. With all the background in mind, this paper tries to investigate a number of steps a multilingual country like Indonesia could possibly take to enhance the preservation of indigenous languages by researching their philosophical and cultural values and formulating policies for future action plans. The basic assumption is that in every language there are living values the speakers believe and maintain from time to time. However, time changes and the language changes, too, to cope with, among other things, newer values coming from outside and the need to be accepted in wider communities. In the process of exchanging linguistic and cultural phenomena domination and submission take place as a consequence. Therefore, dominating languages would place a certain language as a receiver of the exchange and this is where the state of endangeredment begins. In cooperation with international organizations like Unesco and local universities the government must take an initial plan to maintain the submitting language from further unexpected situations. The big number of Indonesian endangered local languages necessitates attentions from the central government to make a national campaign for preserving indigenous languages thorugh a more intregrated national cultural strategy. This must be the first test case for the combination of educational and cultural affairs under a new ministerial roof.
