• Saving the water coolers, 1 at a time

  Jason Gonzalez

  I have been a Porsche guy for a long time. I have owned 911s, an outlaw 356 and a couple of Boxsters. For the last six years, however, I have found myself on a path far less traveled. I have completely fallen for Porsches often overlooked and curiously economical, four-cylinder cars — 924s, 931s, 944s, 951s and 968s. Like others who struggle with the same addiction, I affectionately refer to them as "the water coolers."

• Netflix is just HBO minus the delivery

  Mitch Weinraub

  I don't know about you, but the next time I hear or read that "Netflix is killing pay TV," I'm going to scream. Anyone who takes a step back will realize that Netflix is pay TV. Netflix is a competitor to HBO, Showtime and Starz. They all offer different (but similar) collections of feature films, episodic programming and original content. Content-wise, it is only a difference in quantity, quality and price. They all allow programming to be watched on large screens and mobile devices, although some services are better at one than the other.

• Best to book soon — and consider a multiyear strategy

  David Gabri

  The marketplace has simply changed. Have you? The increased demand for meetings, conventions and group incentive programs is rapidly changing the landscape in the meetings marketplace, particularly in the luxury-level and upper-tier sectors. Combine this with an upswing in attendance at both corporate and association programs, and planners may be increasingly at risk when it comes to securing the sites, facilities, precise patterns and terms and conditions they desire for their programs.

  Dr. Denise A. Valenti

  Getting the recommended apple a day to keep the doctor away is easy. The more than 100 different species of apples grown in the United States are in ​abundance throughout the country in September and October.

• Experiment reveals the ugly side of open-source journal industry

  Pamela Lewis Dolan Medical & Allied Healthcare

  Over the past 10 months, Harvard researcher John Bohannon, Ph.D., has created more than 300 versions of a phony research paper describing the anticancer property of a chemical extracted from a lichen. Each paper was authored by a different made-up researcher who came from academic facilities that don’t exist. Despite Bohannon’s efforts to make the papers flawed and unpublishable, nearly 160 medical journal publishers accepted the paper for publishing, despite each one claiming to have a peer review process.

• 5 reasons every employer should have job descriptions

  D. Albert Brannen Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  No state or federal law requires job descriptions. However, job descriptions can be helpful tools for employers for both practical and legal reasons. This article will outline five of the many ways in which job descriptions can benefit employers.

• ICD-9 vs. ICD-10: What’s the difference?

  Brooke Andrus

  If you’re a proponent of the old “if it ain't broke, don't fix it” mentality, you might be a little reluctant to buy into all of this ICD-10 business. After all, you use ICD-9 now, and that seems to be working just fine. So why rock the boat? Well, there’s another old saying that goes something like, "You don’t know what you’re missing until you reach out and touch it." In this case, those still clinging to ICD-9 are completely overlooking the benefits of the new code set.

• EAPs keeping families healthy and strong

  Jessica Woods

  Employee assistance plans only help if they are utilized. It seems like such a simple statement, but in reality there are many people who never use their EAP to their best benefit.

• The next big thing: U-EMS

  Mark Huber

  Over the last decade, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have proven their worth in military applications around the globe. Want to whack a bad guy in Somalia? No problem. An Air Force "pilot" can do so with ease by manipulating a joystick in climate-controlled comfort from a trailer in Nevada. Right now in Afghanistan, unmanned Kaman K-Max helicopters are slinging supplies to Marines in high-risk areas. It’s only a matter of time before they are used to transport the injured out of hot LZs.

• Motorcoach drivers: Don’t forget about customer service

  Mark Hewitt

  ​As motorcoach drivers, we can often forget this little thing called customer service, but it should be a part of our daily lives when we are on the road. We are the face and voice of the company we work for. It is important that we give the correct impression to customers from the moment they see the coach to the moment we leave them at the end of the trip. So what is customer service?
