My husband and I were just married this past August- we cannot say enough great things about Jim and Janet!! They really took care of everything! From the first time we met them Jim and Janet have been more like family- they make you feel right at home. They are very flexible and understand the stressors of planning a wedding. They work with you from day one right up to the big day.
The Inn and the surrounding area are quite beautiful. Our wedding and reception was outside- the tent was gorgeous- the food was AWESOME. The weather was perfect. The staff at Lovetts is just wonderful! Our guests keep telling me how great a time they had. This was the PERFECT place to have our wedding. We cannot wait to go back on vacation and spend more time with Jim and Janet!

Just returned from a wonderful weekend at Lovett's Inn and were reminiscing with innkeepers Jim and Janet about the amazing job they did for our wedding there last May. Our family and friends filled the main house and cottages and found Janet's tasteful New England country decor quite charming and comfortable, each with its own unique details and understated elegance.
For our wedding day we had a 4pm outdoor service under the arbor with a lovely cocktail hour on the deck looking up at Cannon Mountain. The view is fabulous and the grounds were beautifully decorated. Chef Janet's display of stationary appetizers was artfully placed and proved to be even more delicious than they all looked. The passed selections were equally tasty and Janet's staff made sure that we were taken care of and got to enjoy our selections as we took pictures and mingled with our guests. We opted for the salmon and tenderloin selections as the main courses of our dinner buffet, which was served under the wedding tent. Our guests seriously still rave about the food!!! Jim and and Janet worked with us on ideas and planning options that helped us remain within our budget without compromising on anything. The personal touch that Janet provided throughout the planning process and our wedding weekend made for a memorable weekend not just for us but for our guests as well.

My Husband and I got married here September 2011 and I can't say enough good things about Lovett's! We were just back this past September to celebrate our second anniversary. When Jim & Janet told us they had just gotten on wedding wire, I knew I had to write a review! Don't let the rustic appearance from the outside fool you, it's part of it's charm! The Inn is so quaint and cute. We knew as soon as we visited that this is where we would get married (the small bar area was our favorite as well as the sitting/sun room in the back). We got a tour so we got to see all the rooms in the Inn (there are 5) and all of the cottages. Each is amazing in it's own way. We chose to stay in the Inn and loved our room. It was spacious and had windows overlooking both the pond across the street and the grounds out back.The food is amazing! My husband and I are both foodies and that was one of the most important things in choosing a venue. We had dinner in the dining room when we first visited. I had the beef tenderloin, my husband the duck and we started with the crab cakes. Everything was amazing! For our wedding we ended up choosing the duck and beef with a crabcake appetizer and a salad. I can't even tell you how many compliments we got (about how gorgeous the grounds and the wedding was) but mostly about the food and how it was "the best wedding food I've ever had" and "the best duck/beef I've ever tasted". We had breakfast each morning (included in the room rate). I had pancakes one morning and eggs benedict the other, everything was so good. And finally what makes this place so amazing is Jim & Janet who own and run it. Honestly, they are the nicest, friendliest, and welcoming people I have ever met. The made our families feel right at home, remembering most by name. I can't recommend this place enough. The grounds are beautiful, the Inn homey, the food delicious and there's so much to do in Franconia Notch. My Husband and I can't wait to go back!

Lovetts Inn is the perfect location to have an amazing wedding experience! Janet and Jim were very helpful and accommodating to our requests. Having family and friends staying on site made the entire weekend even better because we felt like we got to spend more time visiting and catching up with our guests. We filled 15 of the 18 rooms, making for a really intimate weekend. When the dinner and dancing ended we thoroughly enjoyed spending the rest of the night chatting and reminiscing with guests around the fire pit. You can't find a better meal in Franconia so the breakfasts and reception dinner were all fabulous.

My husband and I wanted to have an intimate outdoor setting for our wedding reception. We also wanted all of our guests to have a sort of mini-vacation over July 4th. Lovetts Inn turned out to be just what we were looking for as we could reserve all of the rooms for our guests for the entire long weekend. It was so perfectly relaxing and charming. From the moment we met Janet and Jim, they made us feel at home. They helped us to incorporate every special little detail (a dessert table, specific beers that my husband really likes, late night snacks for our guests, breakfast for extra guests the morning after) -- everything was flawless. Janet is such a wonderful chef -- everyone raved about her food. We heard from so many of our family and friends how special the weekend was. As a tradition, we continue to go back every summer with family and friends to see Janet and Jim and to enjoy the wonderful food and intimate setting.

We have been together as a couple for 35 years and live in Pennsylvania, a state that does not currently recognize marriage equality. After the Defense of Marriage Act was overturned by the Supreme Court in the summer of 2013 we knew that our commitment could now be recognized. We decided that while visiting family in New Hampshire in the fall we would get married, in a place that recognizes and supports marriage equality. When our family heard that we wanted a simple, intimate ceremony and a chance to celebrate with them with a good meal, they mentioned that we might want to contact Lovett's Inn, in nearby Franconia. We thank them for that recommendation. From the time of our initial contact with the innkeepers, Jim and Janet, we were reassured that we had made the right choice. With a limited period of time between our first call and the ceremony date Janet helped us plan to ensure that the celebration would be what we desired. When the weather turned grey the afternoon of our planned outdoor ceremony, they accomodated our group in one of the inn's lovely rooms and we exchanged vows in front of a fireplace surrounded by family and friends. Janet and Jim and their staff then helped us celebrate our marriage with a wonderful meal, from appetizers to dessert, that received rave reviews from our guests. If you are looking for an intimate, friendly New England setting to celebrate your special day, whether with a large or small group, we highly recommend this venue.

Lovett's Inn was the perfect location for our wedding. We were looking for a place that we could essentially rent out for an entire weekend so our bridal party and family could stay there with us the entire time. It also matched my history-loving, antique-appreciating style. It has a wonderful charm to it! Janet and Jim were also great. They were very helpful and responsive. They are pretty easy-going, which is helpful, especially if you are 'taking over' their inn for the weekend. The food is delicious and the rooms are unique and charming. Our reception was held outside, which was simple and beautiful--- the way we wanted it! Franconia is gorgeous and the area is nice and quiet-- but no worries if your party will be loud. The cabins look outdated from the outside but they are wonderful inside! We had the time of our lives and I know all of our guests did as well!!

- September 16th, 2011
It's election time in Sedona again, but this time residents aren't voting for people, they're voting for a concept.
The State Route 89A referendum election is set for Tuesday, Nov. 8, and aims to end the battle over the West Sedona roadway once and for all.
While tempers originally flared over streetlights and the Arizona Department of Transportation's plan to install them to increase nighttime safety, the community rumble shifted to whether the city should take ownership of the roadway. Sedona City Council said yes, a group of residents said no, and now Sedona goes to the polls to decide if taking over the roadway is in the best interests of the city.
When elections for council, Sedona Fire District Governing Board and Sedona-Oak Creek School District come around, it's easy to stick to our election policy, which states letters to the editor endorsing candidates will not be published.
Instead, one of our reporters writes a profile on each candidate, and candidates are given the opportunity to submit an essay to be printed in our newspaper. This process allows each candidate to share his or her background, expertise and platform without bombarding our letters to the editor section.
While local elections are important and residents should participate, not everyone is as passionate about politics, and some readers don't want to see letter after letter of endorsement. There is other news in the community, and we try to ensure election season doesn't wipe that out.
We do publish letters about issues related to the election, however, which muddies our policy when it comes to the State Route 89 referendum. The entire election is based on a single issue and there are only two ways to vote.
We understand this is an important issue for Sedona residents, and it could shape the future of the city economically and aesthetically. So rather than simply say no more letters, we're going to allow some of them to be printed, but not all.
Instead of printing letters from the same people we've heard from repeatedly during the debate, we want to publish the thoughts and ideas of those who don't make it onto Page 4A very often and only write in when they feel truly moved to do so.
We're also not going to print the same opinion multiple times with a different name written at the bottom. We want to read new perspectives and stories about why people stand on one side of the issue of the other.
We will also strive to present a balance of letters both pro and con. However, this is beyond our control. Past experience tells us one side or the other of nearly every controversy often is more organized and privy to public relations.
Until Nov. 8 comes, we'll do our best to allow readers to voice their opinions while not ignoring those unrelated to this hot-button issue.

Ubuntu 9.04 Server Certified on HP ProLiant G6
Hewlett-Packard and the Canonical Linux firm have announced certification of the Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition on HP's ProLiant G6 server family.
The family addition from the certification agreement of Ubuntu software and HP hardware provides 17 ProLiant configurations. Tests for certification took place in the Canonical Labs and HP found them worthy. A ProLiant support pack for Ubuntu is a palpable result for users. It includes services, drivers and tools for server management, and will be provided by HP.
HP expanded its ProLiant G6 server line in early June by 11 new models. Some of the models are the first with the six-core AMD Opteron processor. HP considers the new servers "powerful, cost-effective, and energy-efficient."

Could you go without shoes for a day?
No shoes for a whole day? Ordinarily, the answer to that question would be a horrified 'noooooo'! But when one of our favourite brands asks us to go barefoot for just one day with a fantastic cause in mind, we wouldn't dream of refusing. TOMS is the brand in question, and their One Day Without Shoes event is coming up on Tuesday, 10th April. So what's it all about?
The idea of One Day Without Shoes came about as a way to call attention to the need for shoes around the world, particularly for children living in poverty around the world whose parents can't afford proper footwear, exposing them to injury and disease every day. TOMS was founded on the premise that with every pair of shoes someone purchases, a pair of new shoes will be given to a child in need: One for One™.
TOMS' founder and chief shoe giver Blake Mycoskie said, "This movement is about raising awareness and asking people to do something - anything - without shoes. We are so eager to see the world's participation this year. So, do what you normally do - just without shoes and help start the conversation."
If you're based in London, you may want to check out a special event that TOMS are holding down at the Southbank Centre on 10th April to celebrate One Day Without Shoes. It's a day of music, food, art & crafts and other barefoot happenings - including lots of great 'one for one' offers.
The event will offer something for all ages, from Kids Hour with fun creative sessions at 2pm to Happy Hour at 6pm - where those that take their shoes off and attend barefoot at 6pm will be able to take advantage of free coffee, burritos, flowers and other treats while enjoying live music by Matthew and The Atlas. The event will finish with a barefoot walk towards The London Eye. The Shoewawa team will be there to forgo our love of shoes in support of this excellent cause, and will be taking snaps along the way.

The Speaker has selected the following Amendments for debate:
Amendment 1
Proposed: Leave out all after 'Europe;' and insert:
'and calls on Her Majesty's Government to halt its planned fuel duty increase and, due to Northern Ireland's peripherality within the United Kingdom, to devise and implement a scheme for Northern Ireland similar to the rural fuel duty relief scheme which was recently introduced for the Inner and Outer Hebrides, the Northern Isles, the Islands of the Clyde and the Isles of Scilly.'
[Mr S Hamilton][Mr A Ross]

Amendment 3
Proposed: Leave out all after 'regarding the' and insert:

It may begin as a "simple" foot blister, but for patients with type 2 diabetes there is nothing simple about wounds that won't heal. That blister can evolve into a seriously infected wound that refuses to heal and, if gangrene develops, the patient's foot may have to be amputated. Such "simple" foot blisters and other diabetic ulcers or sores account for the vast majority of foot and leg amputations in the U.S. today. Paraplegics, quadriplegics, and anyone with severely limited mobility are also highly vulnerable to these chronic skin wounds as well as pressure ulcers and bedsores. Together, chronic wounds affect an estimated 6.5 million Americans at an annual cost of about $25 billion.
It seems an unlikely connection, and yet there is a significant link between Gaucher disease (GD), a purely genetic disease affecting lipid storage, and Parkinson's disease, a largely untreatable progressive degenerative movement disorder of the central nervous system that is often without a clear genetic cause. Those born with two recessive GD mutations, which cause a dangerous build-up of lipids, have a higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease than those with normal GD genes. More surprising is the higher risk for Parkinson's disease among carriers of GD mutation who have no overt GD symptoms, but still produce some level of the defective enzyme called glucocerebrosidase.

Most of the singers that I hear ôfakeö their vibratos by forcing their diaphragms and jaws to quiver, and it sounds contrived. How can I learn to achieve a true, natural vibrato that wonĺt do harm to my voice?
The first thing that you need to understand is what a true vibrato is. Essentially, the voice is alternating subtly and very quickly between two pitches that are close together. The variation in pitch does not usually exceed a semitone either way from the note itself. (You can hear string instrumentalists create vibratos, for example, by wobbling their fingers on the finger or fret board of their instruments or by actually moving their fingers up and down the string for a wider vibrato.) The effect is intended to add warmth to a note.
A vibrato should never be faked, and is only done so by singers who wish to add contemporary ôflavourö to their singing but lack proper technique. With these singers, youĺll often hear wide, slow vocal ôwobblesö that sound more like pitch errors than nice embellishments, and you will sometimes see tension in their jaws as they force them to rapidly move up and down with the notes. When good tone production, breath, placement of sound and resonance are in place, vibrato becomes a natural result. It is something that the body does on its own, not something that we force our bodies to do.
Some singing instructors teach vibrato as a necessity, rather than a natural biproduct of effective technique, which gives their students incorrect information and places pressure on them to force their voices to imitate a vibrato, often through unhealthy means. Some methods of creating (or fabricating) vibratos are capable of causing strain and harm to the voice; something that no good vocal instructor should ever permit.
While achieving a vibrato through natural, unforced, unhurried means may take more time and skill than ôfakingö it, it is well worth the wait. To learn more, please read Vibrato: What It Is and How to Develop It.

The product was flimsy and doesn't seem like it can sustain the weight of more than 10 pieces of Halloween candy.

My 3 yr old LOVED this! He was iron man for Halloween, so this was perfect. The only down side is that it may unsnap. He was able to pull it apart before candy was in it, but it did hold up to a full bucket of candy without him messing with it. Overall a great purchase.

Title: Just OK

This pail looks pretty good along side the costume but it is very flimsy. The plastic is thin making it too flexible. Since it is actually two sections that snap together, this give causes the pail to come apart easily.

Date: Oct 01, 2010
This pale will serve its purpose at Halloween but it's nothing spectacular. My son loves it because it's iron man and goes well with his costume, but it is really hard to try to fold up. After trying and breaking one of the latches I just chose to keep it as is. There was really no need for me to fold it up anyway. I would buy it again just because it goes so well with the iron man costume and it's inexpensive.

Woman, daughter lived in N. Fort Myers
By Dave Breitenstein
March 03, 2006
A California missing child case ended with the arrest of a North Fort
Myers woman and recovery of her 9-year-old child, who had been attending
class since September at a Lee County school.
Terry Ann Dunn, 45, of 16500 Slater Road, remains in the Lee County Jail
awaiting extradition out west. The girl is now in the custody of the
Florida Department of Children & Families.
Detectives in rural Butte County, Calif., first received a missing
persons report on May 19, 2005. Angelo Vaughn, spokesman for the Lee
County Sheriff's Office, said Dunn had an injunction against her to stay
away from the child, and was on the run before stopping here.
Lee County School District records show the girl enrolled on Sept. 16,
and was a fourth-grader at Orange River Elementary in east Fort Myers.
To register for school in Lee County, though, parents or guardians need a
variety of documents, including proof of custody if the child doesn't
live with both parents. Student assignment director Leila Muvdi was not
familiar with the arrest, but says some children are let into school
before every document is processed so they don't miss instructional time
because of a holdup with paperwork.
"We try to find out as much as we can," Muvdi said. "But sometimes it's
in the best interest for them to be in school."
About a half-dozen FBI agents and two Lee sheriff's deputies converged on
Orange River Elementary around noon Wednesday, Principal Holly Bell said.
But the girl was absent that day. Bell said her mother notified a teacher
that there was a death in the family. Dunn was arrested at 1:28 p.m.
Wednesday at the corner of Old 41 and Bayshore Road in North Fort Myers,
according to sheriff's records.
At the school, Bell called the girl a "remarkable student" and was
well-liked by her classmates. Her teacher also reported that Dunn kept in
touch and made sure her daughter's homework was completed. Bell said no
one at the school detected any problems or was suspicious of Dunn.
"There weren't any signs that were glaring," she said. "It wasn't really
a thought."

Port-au-Prince is a wreck.
Slices of the city have the ruin of Mogadishu, the poverty of Calcutta, the social strife of South Africa, the repression of Beijing.
There is almost no work. Haitians in massive numbers still want to kill each other, as last week's violence proved. Haiti's military government won't govern anymore, leaving U.S. troops to run the country.
Food is so scarce that aid groups' warehouses are being looted before the food can be distributed.
Things are so bad that the nation's deposed president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, speaks not of moving the Haitian masses to middle-class comfort, but "from misery to poverty with dignity."
From this mess emerges a question:
Can Haiti be saved?
Save Haiti? Some despair of even trying, calling the task impossible. Even those who think it can be done attach conditions.
"The question is, `Can Haiti save itself with the solidarity of the international donor community?'" said Rainer Steckhan, World Bank director for Latin America and the Caribbean.
Oliver Neadl, a leading importer-exporter in Port-au-Prince, said: "There are so many things to do in Haiti that it's hard to find where to begin. We have nothing."
Fernando Zumbado, the United Nations' Development Programme's regional director: "My main concern is that too many things have to be done on many fronts at the same time. Maybe we are asking too much of the Haitians. They have to rebuild a state, the whole thing."
The cost will be in the billions. Aid experts' blueprints for Haiti's recovery are so thick - the size of several encyclopedias - that they cannot be bound together.
By the time those plans are implemented, last month's military landing will look like the easy part.
Near Cite Soleil, the tin-shack slum near Port-au-Prince's seaport, is an open-air toilet the size of five football fields, where people openly relieve themselves. Raw sewage flows into Port-au-Prince's bay.
Everywhere, roads are in ruins. The potholes are so bad some are the size of swimming pools. All but 4 percent of the country's roads need reconstruction, enough pavement to build a road between Miami and Atlanta.
The port is the most expensive to operate in the Caribbean; its only crane does not work. Don't look to City Hall for help; its only truck hasn't run in three years.
"The streets are so full of garbage and dirt that you can't even walk without throwing up," said Marie Jean Marcel, 45, a city sanitation worker.
Ruin and poverty are linked.
Haiti's masses live without electricity, without telephones, without plumbing. The average daily income is less than 70 cents; the life expectancy is 55.
As many as 68 percent of the population cannot read and write. The urban unemployment rate is 70 percent. Thousands of mothers give birth each year without medical help, and thousands of babies die each year of starvation and disease.
Listen to the World Bank's Steckhan list the basic, must-do tasks - each one exposing the bones of this under(or never-) developed place.
"Basic health," he said. "Fighting TB and AIDS. Restoring electricity. Improving water supply in the slums of Port-au-Prince. Helping privatesector industry, especially small-scale industry in Haiti. Supporting basic education and helping to alleviate poverty."
Humanitarian-aid organizations will play a big role in easing the mass suffering. AmeriCares, a Connecticut-based medical relief charity, plans to fly in 70,000 pounds of medical supplies any day. "We're just waiting for permission to land," said AmeriCares spokesman Dwain Schenck.
The aid group CARE plans to continues feeding 600,000 Haitians a day, expand a jobs program that already employs 6,800 Haitians, repair water systems, vaccinate women and children and provide tools and seeds to farmers.
The world's democracies have promised to help - $550 million during the first year, according to pledges made at a meeting of potential donor nations in August. The United States will chip in about $100 million, the Agency for International Development says.
Most of the money - $375 million - will go toward repaying Haitian debts and bankrolling Aristide's new government. About $95 million will go toward food and job programs and improving health care. Another $85 million is allotted to pay for new elections, retrain Haiti's brutal police, build a justice system and other government agencies.
Yet all this will not begin to build a democracy. A real economy must emerge.
"The private sector will be the motor of growth of job creation and of exports," Steckhan says.
But that requires trust - the trust of foreign and domestic companies that they will not lose their investments to renewed chaos.
To which one Caribbean expert said, "Why go there?''
The expert asked not to be identified in the context of Haiti's hopelessness, and made a simple point: "It's difficult to attract private investment when a situation is so messy."

2006 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Teresa A. Volsko,
MHHS, RRT, FAARC, Sherrie Christman, CRT
Advanced Health Systems, Inc. Hudson, Ohio
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of an Excel spreadsheet, programmed to perform data calculations and look up Medicaid billing codes for a respiratory service provider in the long term care environment. We hypothesize that the use of a programmed spreadsheet will reduce billing errors, enhance revenue capture and save staff time.
Methods: Patient name, pay status and hours of oxygen use were collected on a weekly basis for residents in 6 randomly selected Ohio based skilled nursing homes from January 1, 2006 - March 31, 2006. The total hours of oxygen use for each patient was calculated on a monthly basis and converted to cubic feet in order to determine the appropriate Medicaid billing modifier in one of two methods. First, the monthly sum of the hours of oxygen use and conversion to cubic feet for each patient were calculated by hand using a battery powered calculator. Staff used a reference table to look up the appropriate Medicaid billing modifier, and then transcribed the code onto a worksheet. The identical data were typed into an Excel spreadsheet that was programmed to perform the aforementioned calculations and automatically assign the Medicaid modifier. The times associated with the hand calculated process and the automated processes were collected and entered into SPSS 9.0 for Windows for analysis. Error rates were calculated and expressed as a percentage. Payment error dollar amounts were determined. Mean times associated with processing billing data with each system were compared by Student's T-test. Statistical significance was established at p < 0.05.
Results: Data from 596 patients were collected. Hand calculated process resulted in a 6% error rate. Eleven or 31% of the billing errors affected Medicaid payment rate, 45% of which would have resulted in Medicaid overpaying the provider. The balance or 55% of the billing errors would have resulted in underpayment to the DME provider. There were no errors with the spreadsheet system. Time data are displayed in the table below:

|Calculation time for hour usage, conversion to cubic feet and assignment of modifier. Total (min) mean (± SD) Time/patient
|505 28.06 (± 21.3) 0.8
|107 5.94 (± 3.9) 0.2
|0.0038 - -
A time-savings of 6.6 hours in staff time were realized for the study period. This translates to an annual savings of 26.4 hours.
Conclusions: DME providers can use easily programmable spreadsheets to automate the billing process, and reduce staff time as well as billing errors to third party payers.

November 28, 2014
Minimum wage earners in Madison will continue to earn $5.70 an hour. That's the ruling a Dane County Judge handed down Thursday.
The city raised wages January 1, and rates will keep increasing over the next four years.
It is something a group of restaurateurs and other business owners are fighting, saying it is not the city's place to raise rates.
Ed Lump from the Wisconsin Restaurant Association says, "We believe if you are going to raise the minimum wage it should be done on a statewide level. When you have islands of different wages created throughout the state, you really do send a message that this is a pretty difficult place to do business in."
Judge Maryanne Sumi ruled that the Madison ordinance compliments state law by making sure workers are not being paid less than the minimum wage.
There are plans to appeal the decision, and there is a bill pending in the legislature that if passed with the governor's approval could preempt Madison's minimum wage law.

American Express web bug exposes card holders
A glaring vulnerability on the American Express website has unnecessarily put visitors at risk for more than two weeks and violates industry regulations governing credit card companies, a security researcher says. Among other things, the cross-site scripting (XSS) error on americanexpress.com allows attackers to steal users' …
Tell me about it
I watched as a store wrote down my credit card information, including my CVV code. I told them it was a violation of PCI rules to store the number, and it could result in a $100k fine. They got rude with me and told me to go call the credit card company if I had a problem. I called Visa, hopeing to report the merchant, and get them sued out of existance, but low an behold I spent half an hour arguing with low-level Visa employees trying to report the merchant before I gave up. Fuck the credit card companies, they don't give a damn about your security, or even their own rules. Those rules are put in place to make you & the vendors pay for losses, not actually to protect anyone but themselves.
@Brent Gardner
You have too much time on your hands.
No he hasn't.
Reporting web site malfunctions
American Express has lots of company.
A surprising number of BIG websites go to great lengths to block anyone from submitting notification of an error. Ever tried to find an email address on the Ebay site about a problem with one of their webpages? Good luck! I think there's one there, but buried a long ways below the home page and very hard to find.
Google's another. They seem to have recently been tinkering with their system, changing Streetview's operation in particular, and for at least a while Google Maps was not working as it should.
Fuck 'em.
"Express Hacking"
Express hacking lane, aisle 3, no waiting.
This is just one of the reasons I won't ever touch AE cards!
Procedure for reporting vulnerabilities.
Seems simple to me, just needs documenting:
1) Identify security hole.
2) Tell world + dog about it.
3) Wait for Tech press to write critical article and ask AmEx for comment.
4) AmEx reads article.
5) AmEx craps itself.
6 AmEx fixes problem.
Seems to work too. The problem here is that he was trying to bypass this simple procedure by contacting Amex directly.....
Seeing the apathy expressed by BlueGreen pissed me off...
So I wrote to Visa USA's PCI compliance division to report the merchant and my bank. We'll see if it goes anywhere.
The whole CVV thing pisses me off because it is a stupidly naive idea to think that, since the problem was that merchants were copying the credit card number, to add the expiration date. Then when merchants started storing that, they decide to add the "zip code". Then when that gets stored, they decide to add one more peice of information, as if people weren't gonna write that down too, regardless of the regs.
We really need unique transaction identifiers, and I am glad to finally see them coming (see related Reg articles). But until then, seeing such apathy, and even deliberate violation of my privacy enrages me. Nothing would be more satisfying than to see something actually get done in my case. I'll post back here if anything comes of it.
@AC "Express Hacking"
I find my Amex card is good for scraping frost from the windscreen. At least it's one of the few cards I carry that has no other discernible function - so if it gets mangled I don't care :-)
Its worse for the merchant . . .
Amex/Visa/MC will fine the merchant HUGE amounts of money for PCI violations, even if there has been NO financial loss! If you aren't PCI complaint, you can be fined $250,000 for the FIRST "offense", and there is no real way to know if the problem is yours, the software, the gateway, the accepting bank, or the card company's. Of course, you know exactly who they are going to blame and try to collect from.
So the safest thing to do is simply stop taking credit cards on your website. Use the alternatives, Paypal (which sucks big time) and Google Checkout (just as bad), but at least if there is a problem, it is THEIR problem, not yours. If you don't ever write down or store anyone's card number, then you're off the hook. You could even . . . wait for it . . . take cash. (Or checks.)
According to a MC/Visa survey, it turns out that 80% of companies, big and little, who take credit cards are not yet PCI compliant, and don't expect to be within two years. To date, there have been no fewer than THREE absolutely drop-dead deadlines for mandatory PCI compliance or you will absolutely die, and all three have passed, with whimpers instead of bangs.
PCI compliance is total BS, it simply isn't going to work, and it is nothing more than a "blame someone else" response to cover their own slovenly business and computer practices. The emperor is stark, staring naked.
wait he suppose to get screwed over and take it ??? what happens if the store gets hacked ??
damn you are fool
@Brent Gardner: "Seeing the apathy expressed by BlueGreen pissed me off... "
Brent, read it again. I was criticising Simpson for putting you down. I support what you are doing.
I'm loving the point of contact for security issues being the PR department. Not sure it says anything good about the tech industry though...
Sorry, BlueGreen, you are correct, my response was supposed to be directed @Simpson. Sorry about that.
@Miami Mike, I feel our sympathy for the merchants as well. The regulations are ridiculous and the fines are strict. But something as stupid as writing down the CVV on a piece of paper and sticking it in filling cabinet? I mean that isn't like its accidental storage by your automated backup system or something. That is just sheer stupidity, or deliberate disregard for the purpose of the CVV, one of the two.
Actually, when I asked them about it, they said Visa told them they needed to run the card with the CVV to show that it was physically present. So their brilliant idea? Write it down, go back to the main office, and run it there. An obvious intentional fraud. They are essentially lying to Visa saying the card is physically present when it is not.
That being said, the PCI docs all seem to imply electronic storage, and I didn't see anything about writing the number down on paper, but I can only assume they mean storage of any kind, disk, abacus, whatever.
While we're on the subject of CVV numbers...
... how do services like Amazon One-Click [pat. pending ;-)] work within the law? With these services, you don't have to enter in any credit card details, so in order to process the transaction, they must be storing the CVV number.
Or do they get exempted from having to provide a CVV number by the card companies "because they're Amazon" and therefore "beyond reproach"?
Anyone know?

Every Easter the world remembers the cross and the death of Jesus, as a symbol of Jesus Christ's dying to save the world. Every February, Americans remember the contributions of Black Americans to the greatness of America. What is missing is a day to recall the terror and the pain that Black Americans suffered at the hands of white supremacists for the purpose of maintaining the illusion of white supremacy.
In his book,"The Cross and The Lynching Tree", Black theologian, Dr. James Cone, points out the fact that the cross and the hanging tree are both symbols of death. Why do we honor one but are ashamed of the other? People proudly wear crosses with Jesus' body on them around their neck to tell the world they are Christians. But we shudder to think of a picture of a Black man hanging from a tree in an American city. Some of you are even turned off at reading this reminder.
I suggest that you take a look at the photographs in James Allen's book, "Without Sanctuary." The accompanying post cards, announcing and sometimes depicting the hanging, tell the story of the terror that Black folks lived with for three centuries in America and the freedom of whites to do as they pleased to African Americans. It also tells the stories of what Blacks had to endure in this land and the fact that they survived without becoming a race of insane people.
The untold story of the lynching tree is a gap in American History. The remnants of the psychic that perpetuated the lynching tree answers the question of why Affirmative Action, why Black colleges, why we are the last hired and the first fired, and it answers the questions about police officers who feel they have a license to harass and use excessive force on Blacks. It also answers the question of why there are angry Black men and women.

There is an old Black Gospel song that says, "If I ever needed the Lord before, I sho (sure) do need him now." I can relate these words in these hard economic times that the world is going through right now. I think about Black History because Black folks as a people have seen hard times before, and survived, leaving the world to wonder what makes us so strong. Truth be told, we should have all been dead, or crazy, with what we have had to go through, but we keep coming back, strong.
Reverend Jeremiah Wright addresses our strength in his book, What Makes You So Strong?. You recall Rev. Wright. He was Barack Obama's pastor until white folks started analyzing him and determined that they couldn't deal with the truth of what he was preaching and failed to understand the context in which he delivered his messages.

I recently wrote an article based on a question asked of one of my granddaughters. I called her Miss E in the article [December 1, 2011]. This week my wife and I took Miss E and her brother, Seth, my oldest grandson, to see the movie, Red Tails, for his eighteenth birthday. Once again Miss E, who is an A student, had one of her soul searching questions. She wanted to know if what she saw really happened. Red Tails is, of course, part of the story of the Tuskegee Airmen. The answer was "Yes, Miss E, it really happened. And even worse things happened to them than shown in the movie. The movie showed a mild version of what really happened.
As an aside, anyone watching the movie has now seen another reason for abandoning any efforts to normalize and mainstream the "N" word. Of course you have to have knowledge of the past and self respect to understand what I am saying. Too many of our young people don't!

-- Communities Must Partner Together
The Wednesday, January 11, 2011 New York Times published a front page story about a Black South African mother who was trampled to death waiting in line to get her child a seat in the state funded University. This was an opportunity to get a top quality education in one of the schools where Blacks were not allowed to attend during Apartheid. Thousands of Black South Africans waited in the lines before the break of day to try to get a seat. These South Africans understand that education is their ticket out of generational poverty, homelessness and joblessness.
The struggle to get an education is universally recognized as the key to progress and the road that leads out of poverty to better health, fewer unwanted pregnancies, less violence, less infant mortality, and fewer High School drop-outs. Of course, it leads to better employment and higher educational opportunities. This week I encountered a single, unemployed mother of three children at the courthouse. She has two of her children in the system and was trying to get the message to them that education, progressive friends, and not shortcuts or crime, was the best road to success. This mother should not be alone in her struggle to keep her children in school. We all need to find a way to help her and others like her.

. . . Or It Could Wither and Die
My wife and I spent this past weekend in Atlanta, Georgia attending the Trumpet Awards. The Trumpet Awards is an annual event saluting African American Achievement. The event was created in 1993 by Dr. King's longtime associate, Xernona Clayton. Ms. Clayton, who worked closely with Dr. King at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, became the first African American person to host her own television show in the south, in 1969.
Guests of Ms. Clayton get to participate in and play a small part in the Trumpet Award's weekend of events. The events included the induction of Civil Rights' giants into the Civil Rights Walk of Fame at the Ebenezer Baptist Church where Dr. King served as pastor during the height of the Civil Rights struggles of the sixties and seventies. Our son, Dr. Jamal Hopkins, delivered the invocation at the induction ceremony a couple years ago. This year, I participated in the program as a Ribonier to one of the inductees.

Firefighters battle 2 fires and frigid air
Updated On: Jan 23 2013 07:08:39 AM EST
Highland Park firefighters are investigating the cause of two early-morning house fires.
Flames broke out just before 4 Wednesday morning on Florence Street. The two homes were just two blocks apart, so fire officials are considering the fires suspicious.
Highland Park firefighters battled the frigid air in order to prevent the flames from spreading.
Both of the homes were vacant. No one was injured in the fires.
