Future Structure
Everyone’s trying to get ready for roads that will be filled with more and more self-driving cars. But just as the first cars were imagined to be like horse-drawn carriages without the horses, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that a future with self-driving cars won’t be that different — except that we won’t have to drive.

Industry experts continued to express concern Tuesday with the accuracy of Federal Communications Commission maps that will dictate how to spend $4.53 billion to help build out rural mobile voice and broadband coverage over 10 years.

It wasn’t too long ago that the land adjacent to a railroad junction about a 10-minute walk west of the North Carolina State Capitol was barren, full of weeds and featured a vacant warehouse.
Today, the setting is very different. That warehouse has been repurposed and is the centerpiece of Raleigh’s new 26,000 square foot Union Station complex, which opened in July and anchors the rapidly redeveloping western fringe of the downtown area.

 One of my first bosses, Bill Forte, taught me a very valuable career lesson that is worth sharing. "Hank," he said, just as I was about to leave for a weeklong training meeting, "at this meeting you are going to see a room full of people from across the country who are just like you — working hard to get ahead. I guarantee there’ll be some doofus who shows up late for a session and has an excuse. Maybe he’ll say something stupid and anger someone. Or have too much to drink and behave badly. Or be disruptive. Sometime next week he’s gonna get fired because he just didn’t understand that everything he said or did was seen by someone whose opinion matters. Hank, don’t you be that guy!"

 One of the biggest struggles for HR professionals is getting that elusive seat at the table. In some cases, we are trapped as specialists: spend a few years doing benefits and that is all anyone will think you can do. In other cases, we are trapped as generalists: one-person HR departments must do everything and therefore are masters at nothing. It can be a frustrating cycle from which to break free. Instead of giving up, give these three steps a try.

When a massive earthquake and tsunami hit the eastern coast of Japan on March 11, 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant failed, leaking radioactive material into the atmosphere and water. People around the country as well as others with family and friends in Japan were, understandably, concerned about radiation levels — but there was no easy way for them to get that information.
