Regional UserNet Meetings
Ian Story

As I mentioned in my last post, last week kicked off the 2009 Regional ECM UserNet Meetings across the country, with Seattle leading the way, and Columbus following this past week. Next on the list is Chicago, which is this coming week on April 14, and then they carry on from there. Before I get into my thoughts from the event in Seattle, just a reminder to the community, if you have not already registered, go find the one nearest you and SIGN UP! Here's a link to them all, and of course, you'll find this same link in our Bookmarks area of the site, and in Important Bookmarks on the right side of the home page.
Before going further, I should put in a disclaimer that I happen to be president of the Pacific Northwest UserNet here in Seattle, and so my views may be slanted about our event. That said, I thought it was excellent (shocking, I know!). We started with the usual UserNet housekeeping, put your cellphones on stun...err...vibrate, thanks to the sponsors (who really make these things happen, otherwise we wouldn't be able to have all the food, hotel, fly in IBM experts, etc), pass the mic around the room and introduce people in the audience to each other, overview of the agenda, etc. Tom Rieger and his team from IBM spend an immense amount of time pulling these together, and it's always great when he takes the stage and kicks one off. I joined him for part of the introduction, and then we brought up Ranjun Chauhan (who is leading the social media charge for IBM ECM and is the leader of this site), who did a great introduction about this very ECM online community, and then we turned it over to Dave Caldeira from IBM who did a great "main tent" overview of the IBM ECM strategy and platform. Dave always does a great job, and if you haven't seen him speak, you should take any chance you get, he knows his topic VERY well! From there, we went out into breakouts, and while I can't speak for all of them, the ones I went to were very well done. A bit about the ones I went to: SharePoint and Quickr Connector Update - My opinion, if you use SharePoint and an IBM ECM product, you HAVE to have this. SharePoint is the file share of the 21st century, it doesn't scale well (thanks to storing all the documents in the database), and quickly gets out of contro - the connector solves these problems, lets you archive to your IBM ECM system, declare records, run through workflows, etc. and still do all the things that SharePoint is great at (like collaboration, lists, project management sites, etc.). If you haven't seen this tool and all the great things you can do with it, and you have SharePoint, you need to check it out! Hands On Lab - P8 4.5 and BPM - Plain and simple, the stuff in P8 4.5 is the best example yet of the capabilities that IBM brings to the table, from bundling of WebSphere with P8, to the amazing widget/mashup technology with BPM, it is the most important release of P8 ever, in my opinion. Having hands on experience with this can't be beat, and I'd say it is a true "can't miss" session - no other vendor has any technology even close to what IBM is doing in the BPM space, it was very impressive (and was definitely the talk of the conference)! Customer Case Study - DAT at Chelan County PUD - I always like to see what other customers are doing, and my friend Dave (not sure if he wants his last name broadcast, so I'll keep it quiet to protect the innocent) has built a great tool with help from a partner (RKO, run by Sean Fitzpatrick, also a great friend), to allow business users to find their documents, export the results of their searches to Excel, etc. Very cool stuff, reminded me of a tool that we developed at another place I worked called the View Framework. Content Federation and Integration - This is the technology IBM bought years ago when they acquired Venetica...it is a pre-cursor to the CMIS standard that is getting all the press now...it is super technology and I've always been a fan, great to see that now they're working with SharePoint, Livelink, Documentum, and a whole host of other systems. The IBM repositories are all supported out of the box, so for instance, if you have P8, and you need to federate (or migrate) CM documents, or CS documents, or IS documents...this is something you should be looking at, again, in my opinion. Enterprise Security and P8 Platform - Ah, single sign on, the holy grail of P8...unless you have SiteMinder, or some Tivoli stuff, or have a tool that fills in your logons for you, I bet you don't have it working...SOMEDAY it will be easy...I hope...it's so complicated with all the different components, different rules apply to java and .net, on and on. I always try to get exposed to it, and always learn something (and usually realize how much more there is to learn in this space that I don't know!). Of course, it's not all sessions, we stopped for lunch, vendor expo, and more networking, between the second and third session above. To close down the night, we had a big reception with food and drinks, a raffle with lots of prizes donated by sponsors (I made SURE that my name was not in the drawing, nothing looks more fixed than when the president of the user group wins a raffle!), and lots of great conversations about IBM ECM. Hopefully people reading this post were at the event, or went to, or are going to, another of the UserNet meetings...what did you think, or if you haven't gone yet, what do you want to see? Until next time...Happy Easter/Happy Masters/Happy weekend, and shutdown -r now (a little UNIX reboot joke this time, can't always pick on Windows)... --Ian |
How social should I be?If the word "social" brings to mind the teenagers
in your life endlessly Twittering and updating Facebook, you might be hesitant
to tell your employees to go forth and Be Social. But before you imagine a
doom-and-gloom scenario of all of your employees blogging cat pictures,
consider the benefits of social technologies. Social spaces include – but are not limited to – external sites like Facebook or LinkedIn. Your organization might be more social than you think! Consider spaces like Team Rooms, collaboration spaces, or wikis – those social spaces encourage interaction and generate valuable content and knowledge. Your organization can collaborate more efficiently – what took minutes or hours can now take seconds to find using social collaboration tools, which can be established to share information internally, externally, or both. But how do I ensure that my organization doesn't end up with a mire of too many wikis, blogs, etc. and end up losing track of my content? It's important to formalize a social content strategy, much like your existing content management strategies. You'll want to be sure that you're saving the right things at the right time and ensuring that data is properly stored and managed. The Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) created a white paper called "Managing Social Content – to maximize value and minimize risk" (click the link to download) that is an excellent starting point for any organization trying to determine "how social should I be?" The paper explores topics such as the benefits of social business, the growing importance of recording interactions from social business applications, current models for social content management, functional requirements for a social content management system, and more.

Happy Banks use Branch Document Capture
Scott Blau
3,206 Visits
Document capture improves customers' experience at the bank I've recently worked with one of our banking customers in Europe. When I first met with them a year and a half ago, they were determined to improve their customers' in-branch experience, particularly when the customer would come in for a paper document-related transaction (as opposed to simply depositing or removing money). Before Datacap, the customer would sit with a bank officer who would review the documents for completeness, thank them, and instruct them to come back the next day. Then the officer would type content from the documents into the relevant bank system, as well as faxing or sending the physical documents to a central location. Now the process has been revolutionized. The paper documents are still there, the customer is still sitting with the bank officer, but once the officer takes a quick look at the document, they drop them into a document scanner at their desk. Then they wait (see my blog about that wait and why it is important and a challenge!). The goal is a turn around time of around 15 seconds, but at peak times it might take a minute. While the bank officer and the customer are having a quick chat, a lot is happening in the background: - document images are sent from the branch to central servers - OCR and ICR, document classification, image enhancement, data validations all take place - the results are sent back to the branch
Then the officer can review the electronic document, sign off and complete the transaction. Accuracy is improved because the software will flag problem fields for review. So the bank officer looks only at fields with suspected problems. Worse case scenario: they review every field and it takes as long as it would to do manually. Either way, accuracy is improved because you have one pass of automated data entry and one pass of review by an experienced human. Fast and accurate transaction make for happier customers Document capture helps make sure the customer's high expectations are speedily met, so they can leave feeling good and maybe even with some additional money in their pocket! Happier customers make for happier banks who can more easily acquire new customers more easily and retain their existing ones. For ongoing insights follow me on Twitter @CaptureGuru. |
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Shared Services ECM Center of Excellence (Part 3)
In Part 2, Randy spoke of the process to identify ECM CC services packages and tiers. During that exercise the services were prioritized based on the project pipe line when the services will be needed. In this part, I will focus on developing a staffing plan to deliver and support the planned services and projects. There are a number of activities that must be understood to develop a well thought out staffing plan. First the organization needs to establish a project concurrency capacity objective. The number of concurrent projects will determine the number of resources and skills mix needed to deploy solution leveraging the ECM CC Community services.
Once the number of concurrent projects is determined, then the information gathered in the Evaluate Current State step of the roadmap can be used to define an organization leveraging many of the ECM skills that currently exist in the organization. A plan is defined to address the skill gaps and take into account the prioritization of the projects in the pipeline, as well as the concurrency objectives when determining a timeline and the immediacy of filling the gaps. Once the timeline and immediacy is understood, the plan would outline the approach to fill both short term and long term gaps. For some skills it may involve contract resources to address immediate needs while leveraging those resources in a mentoring capacity. Here is an example of the impact of the number of concurrent ECM enabled projects on the staffing of an ECM CC.
In this example, an IBM ECM CC modeled customer looked back at the projects they deployed over a year and determined the average number of hours by role. They also determined an average elapse time of the projects, which was 3½ months for an ECM engagement for the given year. With that information they determined that if they started 1 new project per month that it should average 3½ projects being managed in a given month. In the above chart you can see the impact this organization saw when managing 3½ projects concurrently and the impact if more projects are introduced on a monthly bases. This analysis helps them to determine staffing needs given the amount of work that the steering committee had established as guidelines. The next part in this series will discuss developing an ECM CC Engagement Process. This is one of the Best Practices and Standards that needs to be developed to guide ECM Solution delivery and helps the organization to take full advantage of the benefits of having an ECM CC. In the meantime, please feel free to leave feedback or suggest topics that you'd like me to explore. Love to hear from you! |
The Business of Putting Context to Content and PeopleGuest post by Steve Studer Offering Manager - IBM ECM Marketing
Products and Strategy Observing the success of social networking and content
search tools reminds me of one of my favorite books called "Connections"
by James
Burke. What I find they have common
is that a business' success is very much dependent on content being utilized
meaningful ways, e.g. connecting that content to the right people who can then
leverage the information for multiple purposes. Mr. Burke sites that one of the
biggest catalysts that changed the world was the establishment of the Library
in As James Burke often points out, the library concept expands knowledge transfer at the same time it can be a great catalyst for change. Connecting content with people can be the greatest incubator for expanding abstract ideas. One case in point that happened to me just last week was one of my colleagues found a WIKI link which I had authored and tagged in IBM's Internal Connections site. What I found so interesting was how the person discovered me. I had tagged a document inside the wiki with meta-data tags for content analytics and social collaboration. I turns out this person is working with several customers and was looking for an expert on the topic of Social Content and any presentation materials that could serve as educational tool for the customer. Reaching the assets was only small part of her solution to her challenge. The fundamental piece she needed was connecting with the right subject matter expert who could help present these concepts. I'm happy to say I made her day because she was able to intuitively navigate our internal Social Content community, locating both the content and expert, literally giving life to the meaning "context to content and people". In closing, as James Burke so brilliantly points out, the transfer of knowledge is the greatest catalysts for change. Consider what wonders man has been able to expand upon when the transfer of information happened at a wind and sails pace and the medium was primarily paper in the form of books or correspondence. Back then, the sharing of content and knowledge was rarely done face-to-face because of the time it took to travel long distances, e.g. weeks, months and many instances even years. It is unfathomable to me the impact that these new social tools will have when you consider that connecting content with people on opposite ends of the world can now be linked at the speed of Ethernet, not to mention the ability to share that information through multiple social and mobile content mediums. These new technologies will definitely contribute to the "The Day the Universe Changed" or at minimum a Smarter Planet. |

Search in the Age of AnalyticsIn a recent AIIM survey, Over 70% respondents said that they find it easier to find information online than content on their company's intranet. Many of us at some time or the other have wondered why our intranet search cannot work like the popular internet search engines. The answer is simple and complex. The simple answer is no company has a multi-billion dollar server farm to enable search on their intranet; making internet and intranet search comparisons unfair. The complex answers lie in the fundamental differences between what and why people search on the intranet and internet. Search experts differentiate searches as discovery search and retrieval search- in lay man terms we search to gain knowledge about a subject or to find a specific object. Most internet search is discovery or knowledge search and most intranet searches are retrieval or object search. If I want to know more about a product, I am more likely to use a discovery method to find information sources pertaining to the subject of interest. Read the articles, listen to the podcasts and view the videos to gain the required knowledge. My expectations of finding the information quickly are very low, I am relatively agnostic to the information source, and I am ready to invest effort to collect information snippets and then string them together to build my knowledge base.But when I am searching for a specific document it is because this search is part of my larger task and the delays in finding the specific document will lead to delivery delays, so my expectations for accuracy are absolute and I want to find the particular document instantly and not hidden in the 3rd page of the search result. Apart from the fundamental usage difference there are definite technical differences emanating from the larger number of data types that intranet searches need to tackle, the federation of information sources, the lack of vested interest of authors to manually embed rich metadata with the content. Traditional enterprise search engines relied heavily on metadata to index documents; and accuracy of the search depended on the performance of the crawler to extract meta-tags from content- file name, author, date, information source. Of late there has been increased adoption of content analytics to enable semantic and faceted search which has had a significant impact on the accuracy of search results. And accuracy of search improves dramatically with powerful content analytics technology. Next week I will continue this discussion to talk about how analytics improves search. |

To the Editor: This vote didn't count!
I just returned from taking my Mother to vote. Today is her 80th birthday, and it is snowing, but voting is important to her. She has been an election judge in the past, and voting is revered in our family. Her ballot jammed in the scanner, and the scanner was opened, and her ballot fed on through. Unfortunately, her ballot was not counted. The election judges checked and double checked the voter total, the touch voting machine, and those still voting or waiting to put their ballots through the scanner and verified that her ballot was not counted. The election judge called Margie Mullins' office and reported back to us that she was sorry, but the ballot could not be counted. I told her to get them back on the phone, that I wanted to talk to them. The clerk told me that no, the ballot would not be counted. I said that she should be given another ballot to vote, and he laughed. I commented that oh, it was only voting, so he found it funny? He replied that he wasn't laughing, he was chuckling. I'm not sure what the difference is between laughing and chuckling, but I don't think the situation was any degree of funny. The idea that a voter can be turned away from a polling place knowing their ballot was not counted is unacceptable and appalling. A predicted small voter turnout? It just became even smaller. By one. That we know of….

Selected: The New York Times published an article on Slovenia
In August, the renowned American newspaper, The New York Times, published an extensive article on Slovenia. In the article titled "Slovene Rhapsody" the reporter, Seth Sherwood, describes his impressions of his journey through Slovenia, from the coast, via Ljubljana to Maribor.
You can read the whole article entitled Slovene Rhapsody published on the 5th of August 2011 describing tourist attractions through the author`s eyes and his adventures here. The author`s impressions can be summarised with his own words: »The bicultural mash-up was starting to make my head spin. In what strange land had I arrived? The Italo-Slavic hybrid on the coast of Slovenia is just one of many surprises in this tiny nation of around two million people. In June, I traveled the length of the country by bus and train — through cities, along shorelines, up mountains — and found more surprises: fairy-tale castles, top-notch designers, wines made by monks, wild wedding parties, giant escargot performing Shakespeare, a fruit-bearing plant that appears in the Guinness World Records (ditto), and human fish (best left for the end). And then there is the folkloric city of Maribor, built by the Austrian Hapsburgs and named as a Capital of European Culture for 2012. Perhaps the biggest surprise is simply the existence of Slovenia, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary as an independent nation this year.«
As the author wrote at the end of his article, Slovenia's final surprise was niched in the rugged karst region, beneath the village of Postojna – his impressions of the underground world of the Postojna Cave, a conjunction of 20 kilometers of underground passages, galleries and chambers, which in almost 200 years has been visited by over 33 million people accompanied by experienced cave guides, was rounded up by an overal impression of the entire Slovenia: »Our group boarded the train and shot back through the darkness, contemplating what we had witnessed: little known, ruggedly beautiful and populated with unexpected characters. For a moment, this curious underground world seemed the perfect metaphor for Slovenia itself.«

Bundle #3 Just Did $500k USD; Here's A Contest
Published on 14 April 2011 10:40 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
11 Comments
Just minutes ago,
the Humble Indie Bundle #3
surpassed $500,000 USD in sales in about two days times. We've also launched a contest to give-away several copies of the game.
In the first 24 hours of the Humble Indie "Frozenbyte" Bundle going live, it
surpassed $250k USD in sales
, but since then the pace has slowed down a bit. It just crossed $500k USD with just under 100,000 unit sales. The average purchase price is $5.12 USD while Linux users on average continue to offer an average amount of $11.72, which is significantly above the $4 Windows price or $6 Mac OS X user-set pricing.
Like the earlier bundles that each ended up grossing over $1M USD in sales (the second one even almost made $2M USD), the included games are cross-platform and DRM-free. The games included in this "Frozenbyte Bundle" include Trine, Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds: Survivor, Splot, and Jack Claw.
For this Phoronix HIB #3 contest, we're giving away five copies of the Humble Indie Bundle #3. To participate in this contest, simply follow
on Twitter. After doing so, simply tweet,
@Phoronix @MichaelLarabel are giving away #HIB3 copies http://goo.gl/n8KdF
or anything to that effect mentioning both Twitter accounts and the link (here's the short link:
) to this contest posting.
You have until the 20th of April to enter this contest in an attempt to win one of five (or more) copies of the Humble Indie "Frozenbyte" Bundle when the winners will be chosen at random.
Details and purchasing are available at
Also worth noting is that there's work on making some of these Humble Indie Bundle games work under the open-source Mesa / Gallium3D drivers. There's already been
this commit
for exposing GL_ATI_draw_buffers so that Trine will function, assuming your drivers/hardware are fast enough, etc. These driver issues have been discussed at length in our forums.

Just had this at a swank restaurant in shanghai. Anywhere serve a good rendition? Its a simple dish I imagine its just a matter of sourcing a fat young good bird. This is not something I'd want to order at a cheap joint.
I've gotten it at Ping's on Qns Blvd in Elmhurst, several times,and was very pleased every time.

1. Unwind a wire hanger and maneuver and bend it to shape a circle and set it aside.
Photo Credit: DIY Inspired
I wanted to make a small wreath to hang on the door to my guest bathroom downstairs. A friend of mine used a wire hanger for a Christmas wreath in the past, so I thought I'd give it a try. I also have made a recycled book page butterfly wreath with a wire hanger. I have to say it turned out pretty cute! Here is my burlap wire hanger wreath tutorial.
This wreath is smaller than normal; the perfect size for my bathroom. You can easily add more wire to make it larger. If you are making a larger wreath, I would also suggest making the strips wider as well.
WARNING: Crafting with burlap is messy! Here are some more tips for working with burlap and caring for it as well.

As promised to you when the blog started up last month, we want to give you some genuine video and one-on-one interviews with coaches and players whenever we can get to the games. I wrangled UConn forward Alex Oriakhi, who's continued to play well (another double-double tonight in the 61-59 UConn win over No. 7 Villanova) but will likely forever be overshadowed so long as some other guy named Kemba keeps wearing a Connecticut uni.
Here's my quick chat with Kemba; the Oriakhi video is underneath.

Yeah right he doesn't care about accoladesNonetheless. 10 seconds left in the game, down by 1, 2, or especially 3, there's no one I'd rather have the ball than Jimmer. Yeah he made a floater at the end, but he also shot 33% from the floor.

Paragon HFS+ for Windows
A newer version of Paragon HFS+ for Windows is available.
Or, Learn More About Paragon HFS+ for WindowsFull user review
"Works on my Windows PC"
Was able to use it to retrieve files off of an external hard drive formatted to HFS+, as well as delete files on that external hard drive.
None so far.
Haven't tried this on my late 2011 MBP yet. I use Parallels Desktop 7, so haven't had much of a need for it on the MBP.
1 reply to this review
Out of curiosity, I tested this out on my late 2011 Macbook Pro, and it works fine in Bootcamp. It does involve going into the partition manager to map the HFS+ partition to a drive letter. Hope this helps someone.

Yesterday we went over to a friend's house for lunch, then piddled around the house for a while, then went over to bil and sil house so the kids could do fireworks together...and because small stashes of fireworks last longer when combined with other small stashes...haha
So, didn't do a lot...so how come I'm so tired today??? lol
We didnt do anything for the 4th my kids decided to spaz while we were packing to go to my brothers so we stayed home. Then last night went to my brothers house and the races by them where my SIL's brother won his race. Then today we went to the zoo thats 2 hours away. Was me and my 3 kids and my brother and SIL and their 4 kids between the 3 of us our kids are 8, 6, 6, 4, 4, 3, and 2. So was insane but good. Came home and went to my parents house and then home to do laundry. Yuck. Missed the fireworks tonight too tired to go and they only lasted 22 minutes. lol heard them and saw them light up the sky but couldnt see them from my apartment.
So... you would think that with working two days (7 hr shifts each time) that my body would ignore it's typical insomnia and sleep at night.... NOPE. So now I'm ultra exhausted. I'm up at 7:30 today (it's later now though) to get ready to go to Church... I don't even want to go. I have an hour of sacrament and then 2 hours of primary in which I watch and then teach about 5 or so 6 year old kiddos with my husband. bahhhhh so exhausted. I just want to crawl back in bed and sleep all day
Went to the dr today because my throat has been feeling like theres razors in it. I would of went over the weekend but had issues with me n my kids insurance and had to call today to make sure we had insurance. It was taken care of so I called my dr and went in. Its not strep and thinks its allergies or something with drainage. Got to hear the babys heartbeat today was nice since I havent been feeling the baby move in a few days. He said its ok that I havent been able to feel the baby much. I dont get my ultrasound till around 20 weeks or later since my insurance is crap and only pays for one (around 20 weeks) unless there is something wrong. So I still go in the 23rd for my appointment and then will schedule the ultrasound then. I HATE waiting.
Okay.. Maybe I'm just being pregnant or just selfish... A friend of mine/boss. We used to be a lot closer. I tried to help her in the dating scene a while back ago. During that time she ended up meeting a guy at the bar. They started dating and I ended up stopping working at the place and we kinda drifted off as friend but still kept in touch. I went back to work and we were friends again but never hung out outside of work again Although I kept saying we should. Anyway. They ended up getting engaged. And they got married this last weekend. I was bummed that I didn't even get an invite. but wasn't too butt hurt because 1)it was at the zoo, 2) outta town, and 3) I know how invites work. She came to my wedding and was definitely someone I knew I wanted to invited. Anyway. I just watched her wedding photos slideshow and saw that another girl that we work with got invited to the wedding and went. There are a few others that I expected to be invited but not this one. I was shocked... and now I'm feeling super hurt.
Am I being ridiculous?
I don't think you're being rediculous, Maddie. I think under the circumstances I would feel the same, especially if you were once really close and others who aren't so close were invited. Is this other girl possibly one who could have weaseled her way into a relunctantly given invitation? I've known people like that.
No advice or anything, but I hope you're able to smooth it over.
Okay, ya'll, quick funny strange preggo story about sickness.
I had some kind of virus or something for the past two days. Nothing stayed down, especially water or tea. It was the whole nine yards of sickness....the splitting headache, the muscle aches, the fever, the nausea and vomitting, literally everything. Ugh. Anyhow, last night I was still so sick I couldn't hold anything down at all, but started craving, of all things, a Taco Bell bean burrito with onions. (I usually hate the taste of it with onions.) So, I called hubby, who was still at church, and asked him to bring me one home. Would you believe I not only ate it, but also drank a whole diet Sprite and it all magically stayed down, and I immediately started feeling better? WIERD!!
Anyone else ever had the sudden craving that brings your system back to order after an illness?? I've honestly never had it happen like that. Strange.
So we turned in our notice to move today. So we have to be outta our apartment by Aug 31. Kinda stressful and exciting. We don't have a place that we are moving into just yet either and we are having a hard time finding one. Keep us in your thoughts that we will find one!
While working on cleaning out our spare bedroom and cleaning it up... I dragged a tub and it hit my toe.. Totally bent the nail back where it shouldn't bend and it started bleeding underneath the nail. I cleaned it up but it hurts bad. Makes me sad.
Anyway, it's like 11 almost here and I need to get some sleep. I made myself a HUGE to do list for tomorrow. My sister is coming into town this weekend to visit so I wanna make sure it's super cleanie-clean-clean
How yall doing?

Porsche 911 GT3 Cup teams in the thick of the Rolex 24 GT fight after 5-1/2 hours
Daytona Beach, FL – The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, the world's most produced GT race car, have five of the top ten positions after 5-1/2 hours in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
The pole-sitting Konrad/Orbit Racing Porsche with factory driver Nick Tandy(GB) behind the wheel, took the early lead in the GT class, but a flat tire and a brush with the wall that caused them to replace the right-side door and both right-side fenders.
Right now, the Magnus Porsche with Nicolas Armindo (FR) leads the class, with Brumos Porsche's Marc Lieb fourth, Alex Job Racing Porsche of Marc Lieb fifth, and Porsche Junior factory driver Klaus Bachler in the Wright Motorsports/Snow Racing Porsche 10th.
The #30 MOMO NGT Porsche, currently in the hands of Henrique Cisneros, has run as high as high as third place during the first five hours, much of that with Porsche factory driver Patrick Pilet (FR) at the wheel.
"The car was very easy to drive, really consistent during all three of my stints. I had no issues. I was really careful with the brakes. I braked really early to compare to the others but I just tried to save the brakes for the end of the race. I was also easy with the gearbox. Everything works perfectly. We had one small issue with the tire change and we lost some time on the second pit stop, but afterwards it was fine. I had no water for the last hour in the car because it was empty. At least it is not too warm. But the car was fine and I had no problems. I'm really confident for the rest of the race," said Pilet, the 2007 Porsche Carrera Cup France champion.

The islands of the South Pacific have some odd views on currency. In the past, we've discussed how the Island of Yap famously used massive immovable stones as its currency. And now the island of Niue is prepared to recognize collectible Star Wars coins as official currency. Of course, the whole thing seems more like a publicity stunt by the New Zealand Mint, which is making these coins. They're still being sold at collectible prices -- meaning coins with a face value of $1 (New Zealand) will actually sell for $23.50 NZ. So even as they'll be recognized as legal currency in Niue (but not New Zealand), it seems unlikely that anyone will use them as such, as their face value will be significantly below their market value.

And will it be enough to knock the tower over on top of him.
I guess these are better than many of the other coins advertised on late night, these have actual value somewhere. -

A sad day for us all
The New Zealand Mint regrets to inform customers that the coins are NOT edible.
The restatement of fact was made after Jar Jar Binks was discovered unresponsive in a hotel room in Niue, after having ingested several handful of the coins he mistook for candy.
No one bothered to try and resuscitate him, keeping with the public's wishes.
Jar Jar will be remembered in death as he was in life.
The plan calls for poor children to use him as a pinata to release the coins into the local economy. -

Medium of Exchange
As long as the item has perceived value to the people using it as a means of exchange, it shouldn't matter what the medium is. At least, that's what the economists say.
However, since we've changed in the US to eliminate gold as the medium for exchange, I'm beginning to wonder if that's still a valid principle. Yes, to rational humans, any item of worth can be used as a medium of exchange. What screws it up is politicians getting their fingers in the pie and bastardizing the medium, which should have intrinsic value, to further their political gains. If they can print as much of it as they want, or limit it's availability, then we have the games we're playing today. -

Hey, the face value of a penny is worth less than the metal it's made of but that hasn't stopped us from using it. -

One day, our Lord Jesus taught his followers that whoever wants to follow Him should not just do whatever they want to do. Instead, they should do what God wants them to, even if it is very hard. He said that those who do things God's way will be saved.
He reminded His followers that, even if they got everything in the whole world, they would not have anything as important as their souls. He also reminded them not to be ashamed to follow Him. He said that when He comes again, He will be ashamed of anyone who was ashamed of Him while they lived on Earth.
