Man arrested in rental car shooting
HUNTINGTON — A reported disturbance at Enterprise Rent-A-Car quickly escalated, when the assailant brandished a gun and fired shots outside of the business, according to Huntington Police Chief Skip Holbrook.
The incident happened about 8 a.m., during Thursday's morning commute. The rental company is located in the 2400 block of 3rd Avenue in Huntington. No injuries were reported.
Officers arrested Clay Timothy Slash, 56, of Huntington, charging him with three counts wanton endangerment, along with single counts intimidation of an officer and second-offense carrying a concealed weapon, all felonies. He also faces a count of misdemeanor possession of marijuana, according to court records.
Cabell County Magistrate Mike Woelfel Jr. set bond at $175,000. Slash is detained at the Western Regional Jail.
Huntington Police Lt. John Williams issued a press release stating the assailant arrived on a motorcycle, walked into the business and got into an altercation with one of the agents.
Holbrook said the stir prompted a witness to call Cabell County 911 and report a general disturbance. A second call indicated the man had brandished a weapon, followed by a third saying he had fired a couple of shots.
The release states the angry assailant fired his weapon into the air, outside of the business. He then walked in the middle of 3rd Avenue, approached the Turnpike Ford Collision Center across the street and yelled at several employees.
Holbrook said an increasing number of officers responded with each call as developments quickly escalated. He explained the suspect immediately complied with officer commands, dropping both his firearm and himself to the ground. He described the assailant as agitated and mentally unstable.
Investigators recovered a small caliber handgun at the scene, the release states.
Enterprise officials deferred comment Thursday to investigators, although one employee expressed thankfulness that nobody was hurt and appreciation for the Huntington Police Department's quick response.
Holbrook praised the employees and area witnesses, including those passersby traveling 3rd Avenue during Thursday's routinely busy morning commute. He said they did not intervene and became good witnesses, just as police recommend.
The police chief said Enterprise and Turnpike employees were shaken by the incident. The Turnpike facility is located across 3rd Avenue.

Ravens running game gets nowhere again
Flacco on win: 'You take them how you can get them'
Ihedigbo's day nearly ends in disaster
Harbaugh: Fans got their money's worth
Ihedigbo on tipped ball, OT stop
"Don't let your good get in the way of being great"
Dumervil: Ravens stayed composed
The Ravens escaped with a 20-17, overtime win over Cincinnati on Sunday, but there was no escaping the sobering fact that the running game remains a project.
It was a wreck before the bye when Ray Rice was slowed by a hip injury, it remained a wreck last week in Cleveland after the bye when Rice and Bernard Pierce were supposedly rested and healthy, and it remained a wreck Sunday against Cincinnati, with the team's longest run (18 yards) coming on an end-around by backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor.
The Ravens entered the game averaging 2.8 yards a carry, worst in the league, and Rice (18-30) and Pierce (8-31) averaged 2.3 yards a run.
"We've got to run the ball better," coach John Harbaugh said after the game, echoing a refrain he has offered just about every week. "We've got to get our passing game going, too. Those things go hand in hand. ... We've got to find a way to move the ball better. We will We have to."
Is Rice, who has had four straight 1,000-yard seasons, already washed up at age 26? He is on pace for about 514 rushing yards this year. Is he still not healthy? There are no more bye weeks for Rice to get better. If he isn't healthy now, he isn't likely to get any healthier down the stretch. And if he is healthy, have his skills and quickness and explosion really deteriorated that much? He is not making anyone miss any more.
Is Pierce an able replacement? Is Juan Castillo's blocking scheme still not taking hold?
There are no easy answers, but the bottom line is the season is now more than half over, and the Ravens still have not shown any ability to move the ball on the ground. Is this just the way it will be this season?
Against Cincinnati, the Ravens had 32 rushing yards in the second half, when they were held scoreless. For the second straight game, and the third time overall, neither Rice nor Pierce had a run of longer than 9 yards.
In the final two minutes, the Ravens needed one first down to ice the game. The Ravens ran on three straight plays -- forcing the Bengals to use their time outs -- but gained only 9 yards. That forced a punt, and ultimately led to the Bengals Hail Mary, game-tying touchdown in the final play.
Pierce insisted after the game that the running game is "creeping along, but it's definitely getting better." And indeed, Pierce's average carry of 3.9 was respectable -- his best in four games. But Rice averaged less than 2 yards a carry, and the Ravens won't make the playoffs that way.
"Good defenses get paid a lot to play. They get paid just like us," Pierce said. "Sometimes you're gonna win your battles, sometimes you're gonna lose."

Diabetes is No Barrier to Success for Graduating UT Senior
Published: Dec 15, 2009
While type 1 diabetes is something Ethan Lewis has learned to deal with since he was 12, he hasn't let it define who he is.
"It's given me a great outlook on life and a sense of urgency. It keeps me working hard, on my toes and motivating me to do better," he said.
Lewis, who is graduating Dec. 19 with a degree in advertising and public relations, has been working full-time as general manager of DuPont REGISTRY's online division,
, while taking 18 credits this semester. After he walks across the stage on Saturday to get his diploma, he'll be back to work Sunday, on one of the several start-ups he's involved in.
"I love it," said Lewis, 22, who has a countdown to graduation in his Channelside home office. "It's exciting for me."
Lewis was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 12 years old. The Connecticut native had to convince his mom that it was OK for him to be on his own, at a college on the other side of the country.
The warm weather, living on-campus with prepared meals and the stress of college life all come with additional challenges as a diabetic. Lewis said he takes it as a positive challenge. This past summer he was
filmed by dLife
, an online diabetes resource that airs video pieces on CNBC.
"I've been dealing with it for so long that I'm used to it," Lewis said. "It's something I can never overlook though, and that's OK."
Lewis started at duPont in 2008 as an intern. He helped re-launch the company's Web site,
, which lets exotic car dealers buy, sell and trade high-end cars.
"The auto industry has really been hurt and this has been a tough time, but we've weathered the storm," said Lewis. Since the October 2008 re-launch, membership has grown from 700 to 1,500 members. "I really enjoy seeing the site grow and mature."
Launching new businesses isn't something new for Lewis.
In the beginning of December, Lewis launched the Swaave Card, a discount card to local businesses for Tampa residents that earmarks a portion of its proceeds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Empowerment Fund, with his friend and fellow UT student Chris Sacchinelli.
While still in high school at age 16, Lewis opened his first business, Old Dock Crackers, which manufactured flavored soup crackers. In his application to UT, he included a box with three flavors of his crackers.
"My passion is creating businesses and opportunities for others," Lewis said. "And I love to work. I started working at 12 and haven't stopped since. I enjoy being productive."
Lewis said the small, intimate campus at UT felt like home the minute he stepped on campus for a pre-college tour. During the last four years he said UT has helped give him a solid foundation of core values to stand on. And his advice for other students with diabetes?
"Don't let it stop you," Lewis said. "Only let it motivate you. Use it to your advantage to accomplish your goals and aspirations."

England are now ready to win their first World Cup for nearly half a century, according to one of the men who is trying to plot their downfall: Slovenia head coach Matjaz Kek.
Expectations of FIFA World Cup glory have risen significantly since England manager Fabio Capello guided the Three Lions through an almost perfect qualifying campaign. England's chances of success were boosted when they were drawn alongside the USA, Algeria and Slovenia in Group C of the tournament.
Bookmakers currently rank England among the favourites to win their first World Cup since 1966 despite worries over the unity of the team following recent off-the-field problems concerning the players' private lives.
For a lot these players it will be the last chance to win something with the team and this, I think, will be great motivation for the English players to do well.
Capello's side face Slovenia in the last of their group matches and Kek believes the Italian has brought some much-needed discipline to the England ranks, which he believes gives them a good chance of winning the tournament.
"England can win it, they have a lot of the best players in the world in their team," Kek told Press Association Sport. "They're good tactically, have good players and have good discipline. England is one of the best teams in the world and that's why they are one of the favourites for the tournament.
"They have individual quality and now that has been turned from individual quality into team quality. They are a strong team now and that has been down to Fabio Capello," he said.
Slovenia qualified for their second FIFA World Cup after a shock win over Guus Hiddink's Russia in a play-off last November. Kek is confident of qualifying for the last 16 of the competition and believes his side can draw inspiration from a creditable performance in their 2-1 friendly defeat against England at Wembley last September.
"Playing England was a great experience because four days later we beat Poland 3-0 and this was one of the biggest wins in our qualifying campaign," said Kek, who was speaking at an event to promote tourism in Slovenia. "When we played England it was a friendly but I think that we played well in Wembley and we now know what it is like to play England."
For some members of the squad like David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and David James, this World Cup is likely to be their last and Kek believes this could work in England's favour.
"The World Cup only comes around once every four years and I don't know how many of these players will be available in four years. For a lot these players it will be the last chance to win something with the team and this, I think, will be great motivation for the English players to do well."
Wayne Rooney has scored 29 goals this season but Kek is aware that England's other players will also represent his side with a big threat when the two sides meet on June 23. "Everyone from England is asking me about Wayne Rooney, but I don't think I should be talking about Wayne Rooney because England have some other big stars in the team other than him," the 56-year-old said. "When you talk about England you must talk about the team and not just one of the players."

SNB Vice President Jordan's Transactions Cleared, Sonntag Says
Feb. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Financial transactions by Swiss central bank vice president Thomas Jordan have been cleared by KPMG auditors, Swiss newspaper Der Sonntag reported, without saying where it obtained the information.
The bank council of the Swiss National Bank asked auditors to look into transactions by the SNB Enlarged Governing Board members for the three years through 2011 after Philipp Hildebrand was forced to resign as SNB president last month because of a currency transaction carried out by his wife.
As vice president, Jordan is the front runner to succeed Hildebrand.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Dec. 17, 1968 MORENO 3,416,763
DEVICE FOR TENSIONING STRAPS, WIRES, OR LIKE FLEXIBLE ELEMENTS Filed April 24, 1967 FIG]. Fl 2 INVENTOR.
Albert M .Moreno United States Patent 3,416,763 DEVICE FOR TENSIONING STRAPS, WIRES, OR LIKE FLEXIBLE ELEMENTS Albert M. Moreno, 2601 Sea Island Drive, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 33301 Filed Apr. 24, 1967, Ser. No. 632,977 Claims. (Cl. 248361) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The device consists of a substantially U-shaped frame or yoke having means for attaching it to a support; the frame including a pair of legs in which a take-up bolt is rotatably mounted and is axially adjustable. The bolt is apertured to receive the end of the strap or wire to be tensioned and by the rotation of the bolt by the use of a suitable tool such as a wrench, the strap or wire is wound around the bolt and to an extent to place the strap or wire under the desired tension. Thereupon the bolt is shifted axially in the legs of the frame by the adjustment of a nut on it, to bring a non-round or square portion of the bolt into a complementarily-shaped opening in one of the legs of the frame, thereby holding the bolt against rotation and preventing the unwinding of the strap or wire from it.
This invention relates to improvements in tensioning devices for straps, belts, wires and similar flexible elements and has for its primary object the provision of a simple and effective device for this purpose. The elements to be tensioned may be belts or straps employed for holding down machinery, mobile homes and many other things, or the wires, straps etc. might be those used in fences, for bracing antennas, frames and other structures.
The device comprises a yoke-shaped member having a threaded part for attaching it to a base or support. One of the legs of the yoke has a round hole through it; the second leg has a square hole through it. A boltis extended through both holes and the bolt has a head at one end of a square part which is located near the head. At the opposite end of the bolt is a nut. The bolt has a slot through it to receive the end of a belt or strap. With the bolt loose in the holes in the legs of the yoke, the bolt can be rotated to wind the belt or strap around it. A fracturable washer on the bolt holds the square part of the bolt out of the square opening during the turning of the bolt. When the belt or strap is wound up to the required extent, the nut is tightened, the washer fractured by the tightening, the bolt moved axially to bring the square part of the same into the square hole, thus holding the bolt against rotation and maintaining the belt or strap in the wound-up position around the bolt.
In the accompanying drawing, wherein an illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown,
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a tensioning device constructed according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view, taken substantially on the line 22 of FIG. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the device;
FIG. 4 is an elevational view of the bolt;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view, taken substantially on the line 55' of FIG. 3, looking in the direction of the arrows; and
FIG. 6 is a view of the head end of the bolt, taken at right angles to the view of FIG. 4.
Referring to the drawing, 1 indicates generally the frame or yoke of the tensioning device. The same is provided with spaced legs indicated respectively at 2 and 3. The
3,416,763 Patented Dec. 17, 1968 "ice legs are each provided with an opening, one of which is shown at 5 and the other at 4, the opening shown at 4 being non-round or square in shape.
At 5a is shown a bolt which extends through and is mounted for rotative movement in the openings 4 and 5 and is also axially adjustable through said openings. One end portion of the bolt is threaded, as shown at 6, and this part of the bolt threadably receives a nut 7 that is located on the outside of the leg 2 of the frame or yoke 1. The opposite end of the bolt 5a is provided with a hexagonal or other suitably shaped head 17 capable of receiving a wrench, such as one of the ratchet type, for rotating the bolt to wind up a strap 8 or a wire or other flexible element upon it to thus tension the strap or wire.
Behind the head of the bolt is provided a non-round or square portion 9 integrally formed on the bolt and of a size enabling it to fit within the complementary or squareshaped opening 4 in the leg 3 of the frame. Normally, the square portion 9 of the bolt is maintained out of the opening 4 by means of a washer 10 fitted around the bolt forwardly of the square portion 9 thereof. This washer may be composed of relatively thin and easily fractured material so that when the bolt is axially adjusted through the openings in the legs of the frame, the washer Will become distorted or fractured and will thus Permit the square portion 9 of the bolt to enter the square opening 4 in the frame.
The bolt is perforated by being split axially from one end as shown at 12 in FIG. 4 so that the end of the strap 8 can be inserted in the slot thus provided. As an alternative, the bolt can be provided with a round hole 13, as shown in FIG. 6, such hole receiving a wire when the device is to be used for tensioning a wire or other slender flexible element.
From the foregoing, the operation of the tensioning device will be apparent. The frame 1 is provided with a threaded shank 14 by means of which it can be mounted in or on a suitable base or support located adjacent to the point of location of the strap or wire to be tensioned. The end of the strap or wire 8 is inserted through the slot 12 or the hole 13 in the bolt 5a, and while the parts of the device are in the positions shown in FIG. 1, the
head 17 of the bolt is engaged by a suitable tool such as a ratchet wrench, and the bolt is rotated to cause the strap or wire to be wound around it until the required tension is obtained on the strap or wire. While the windup of the strap or wire is taking place, the washer -10 prevents the entry of the square portion 9 of the bolt into the square opening 4 so that rotative movement of the bolt within the frame 1 is not impeded. When the strap or wire has been tensioned by the rotation of the bolt as above described, the nut 7 is thenthreadably adjusted along the bolt which draws the bolt axially to an extent to bring the square portion thereof into the square opening 4.
As the square portion 9 of the bolt moves toward the square opening 4 it encounters the washer 10 and either so distorts the washer or else fractures it so that the washer thereupon no longer prevents the entry of the square part 9 of the bolt into the opening 4. When the square part 9 of the bolt enters the opening 4 the bolt can no longer be rotated and so the same will be held against rotative unwinding of the strap. FIG. 3 shows a part 8a of the strap wound around the bolt and the parts of the bolt disposed in the locked position attained by the entry of the square portion 9 of the bolt into the complementary square opening 4 in the leg of the frame 1.
When desired, the strap or wire can be loosened or removed fro-m the device by loosening the nut 7 and shifting the bolt axially.
When the bolt is thus shifted axially, the square part 9 will be moved out of the opening 4 and the bolt can be rotated to unwind the portion of the strap or wire that is on it.
Having thus described a single embodiment of the invention, it is obvious that the same is not to be restricted thereto, but is broad enough to cover all structures coming within the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A tensioning device for straps, belts, wires and the like comprising, a substantially U-shaped frame having a projecting threaded anchoring stem, the frame including a pair of spaced, substantially parallel legs, each leg having an opening, the openings being in axial alignment in a direction transversely of the frame, a bolt extending through the openings and having parts at its opposite ends respectively projecting beyond the legs, one of the parts having a head including a square portion, the other part being threaded, the threaded part receiving a nut, the opening in the leg located adjacent to the head being square to receive the square portion of the head when the bolt is axially adjusted through the legs by the threadable adjustment of the nuts on the bolt, the bolt being rotatable in the openings when the square portion of the head is located out of the square opening, and the bolt being held against rotation when the square portion thereof is disposed in said square opening, and the bolt being apertured to receive the end portion of a strap, belt or wire.
2. A device for tensioning a belt, wire or a like flexible element comprising, a yoke having spaced legs, a bolt extending between the legs and rotatably mounted therein, a head on one end of the bolt beyond one of the legs, a nut threadably adjustable on the opposite end of the bolt beyond a second leg, the bolt having a non-round part, one of the legs having a non-round opening complementary to the non-round part of the bolt, the bolt being rotatable without lateral displacement in said openings in the yoke while the non-round part of it is disposed out of the nonround opening and while said non-round part of the bolt is projecting on the outside of the leg in which the nonround opening is formed, and the bolt will be held against rotation while the non-round part of it is disposed in the non-round opening, means fitted on the bolt between the non-round part and one of the legs for preventing entry of the non-round part into the non-round opening in said leg during the wind-up of the belt on the bolt, said means being rendered inoperative by the longitudinal adjustment of the bolt through the openings, and the bolt having an aperture in it through which the belt can be passed to cause the belt to become wound around the bolt when the bolt is rotated.
3. A tensioning device according to claim 2, wherein the means for preventing the entry of the non-round part of the bolt into the non-round opening is a frangible washer arranged on the bolt between the non-round part of it and the non-round opening, said washer being destructible or distortable by the adjustment of the nut on the bolt so that the washer will be able, upon its destruction or distortion, to enable the non-round part of the bolt to enter the non-round opening.
4. A tensioning device for a strap or wire comprising, a frame in which a rotatable bolt is mounted, the bolt being slotted to receive the end of a strap or wire to be tensioned, means by which the bolt is rotatable as well as axially adjustable in the frame, means carried by the bolt adjacent to the non-round part thereof for maintaining the bolt against axial movement while it is being rotated to wind the strap or Wire upon it, said means being rendered inoperative by axial adjustment of the bolt in the frame, interengaging means on the bolt and frame for holding the bolt against rotative movement after the strap or wire is tensioned by the winding of a part of it on the bolt, and means adjustable on the bolt for causing interengagement of said interengaging means to thereby hold the bolt against rotation.
5. A tensioning device according to claim 4, wherein the interengaging means is a square part formed on the bolt and a square opening in the frame to receive said part of the bolt, the adjustable means on the bolt being a nut threadably adjustable thereon at a point beyond the frame, a frangible washer encircling the bolt between the square portion thereof and the frame, said washer normally serving to prevent the entry of the square portion of the bolt into the square opening.

Obama's Hotel California
As top aides have departed Barack Obama's White House, many have found that the president's inner circle of advisers is more like the Hotel California — "you can check out any time you like but you can never leave." Even after moving into the private sector, ex-aides continue to offer advice to the president and some staffers who have long declared their intention to leave the West Wing still remain.
David Axelrod
Axelrod started advising Obama long before the future president became a household name, and he was part of the brain trust that helped Obama launch his 2008 campaign. He joined the White House as a senior adviser to the president. Axelrod left in early 2011 to return home to Chicago and to help lay the groundwork for the president's reelection campaign. He continues to speak regularly to the president.(Photo: AP Photo)

Surry Central tops Crusaders to cap trip
Surry Central took advantage of Grace Christian miscues in the first three innings and finished its trip to the Chatlee Easter Invitational with fifth place and a 2-1 mark, defeating the Crusaders 5-3 Friday afternoon.
Both squads won games earlier in the day as part of the tournament schedule was moved up a day to avoid potential rain. The last two games of the tournament are still set for today at Southern Lee with the third-place game at 4 p.m. and the championship game at 7 p.m.
The Crusaders (10-9, 5-1 Carolina Christian) gave the Golden Eagles (9-7) gifts of walks, errors, wild pitches and a balk in the first three innings and, all of that considered, were in decent shape to still be in the game, down 4-2 through three.
Grace Christian pulled within a run in the home half of the fourth. Capitalizing on the Golden Eagles being careless with the ball, Nathan Holt sprinted home on Paul Bordelon's two-out single making it 4-3 Golden Eagles. Holt was on second when Bordelon singled sharply into center. Holt stopped at third before the Surry Central catcher threw the ball over second base trying to nail Bordelon and Holt scored thanks to the error.
Forest Kimbrell, Surry Central's starting pitcher, ended the Grace fourth there and held the Crusaders in the fifth as one Crusader was picked off at first and another was caught trying to steal second.
Kaden Leonard relieved Kimbrell starting the sixth and retired the six Crusaders he faced in order.
Kimbrell, the Golden Eagle leadoff hitter, singled and Brett Mosley walked to open the Surry Central first. Both scored on a grounder to shortstop which scored Kimbrell on a fielder's choice and Mosley on an error.
In the Golden Eagle second, Kimbrell struck out with one out but reached base on a dropped third strike. He wound up scoring on Stephen Bruner's sacrifice fly.
Grace Christian got on the board in the bottom of the second. Holt singled, then raced around from first on Shane Farnsworth's double. Farnsworth moved to third on an error on the Golden Eagle relay attempt to the plate, then scored on a strikeout as the Golden Eagles had to make a throw to first.
More Crusader mistakes helped Surry Central put extra insurance up in the third, making it 4-2, then in the fifth, making it 5-3.
Braxton Toro pitched the first six innings plus one hitter into the seventh. He allowed six hits and got six strikeouts. Caleb Welborn relieved Toro in the seventh and held the Golden Eagles.
Toro and Bordelon were the Crusader representatives on the all-tournament team.
The Crusaders will play their regular-season home finale versus Oakwood at 5 p.m. Tuesday. The last prep they'll get before the CCC Tournament, and potentially the NCISAA 1A State Tournament, is a tourney at Wayne Country Day on Thursday and Friday.

19. The structure of
Printing devices may include an ink receiving reservoir for receiving ink expelled from a printhead during servicing. The ink receiving reservoir may include an open cell foam to receive and retain the expelled ink. However, such open cell foam materials may allow ink to seep therefrom, which may cause undesirable ink leakage within the printing device. It may be desirable to provide an ink receiving reservoir that reduces leakage of ink therefrom.
Reservoir 12 may include an open cell foam 18 positioned for initially receiving ink 16 expelled from printhead 14. The ink 16 may then seep downwardly through open cell foam 18 and onto a permeable membrane 20 positioned below foam 18. Permeable membrane 20 may include an absorbent material 22 positioned within a sealed interior cavity 24 of permeable membrane 20. Prior to absorbance of ink 16 into absorbent material 22, material 22 may be in a dry, granular or powder like form. After absorbance of fluid, such as ink 16, into absorbent material 22, absorbent material 22 may change form to a gel (see
Absorbent material 22 may be manufactured of a cross-linked starch polymer, or a grafted starch polymer, and may be biodegradable. Absorbent material 22 may be super absorbent, meaning that material 22 may be able to absorb at least ten times its weight in fluid, such as ink 16 (see
Due to the fluid retaining capabilities of gelled absorbent material 22, reservoir 12 of printing device 10 may retain more fluid therein, without an increase in the size of the reservoir, compared to a reservoir containing only an open cell foam material 18. Accordingly, a printing device 10 having a sealed, permeable membrane 20 containing absorbent material 22 therein, may undergo less frequent servicing by a technician than a prior art printing device that retains ink therein with only the use of an open cell foam which may be susceptible to seeping of the ink therefrom. Moreover, containing absorbent material 22 within a permeable membrane 20 may allow faster, cleaner and more cost effective removal of used ink from a printing device 10 such that the printing device may be more quickly placed back on line. The biodegradable, non-toxic nature of absorbent material 22 and membrane 20 may also facilitate the quick, clean and cost effective disposal of used ink 16 without the payment of hazardous disposal fees.
Other variations and modifications of the concepts described herein may be utilized and fall within the scope of the claims below.

Facebook: How Did We Work Together When I've Never Met You Before?? #Fail
I am a GREAT LOVER of Facebook, Timeline and all. One of the things that I DO NOT like is that Facebook offers the option of people that you are friend with to say that you've WORKED together and does NOT present you with the option of refuting that. THIS needs to be addressed.
I have had a number of people claim that we've worked together and that i've worked with them at companies that have never employed me. In ever instance, we are friends in a networking sense as I use my Facebook to extend my network and as a business tool. It boggles my mind that people would obviously state a blatant untruth, knowing that I would see it. Could it be a situation that if they say it enough times, it will make it truth?
Take a look at the image below and notice four people that claimed that we've worked together. Yet I have never worked for any of these companies, and with any of these people.
Is this a new thing in the social media arena? Thoughts? Has this happened to you? What have to you done about it if anything? Please share your experiences and remedies if this has happened to you?

Anise, doesn't owning shares in you count as having worked together?
:) I have seen people write LinkedIN recommendations (I mean OUTRIGHT LIES) for people they've never met. Kind of devalues the whole idea, doesn't it? When your "connections" start to equal "points" in a game, watch out. I've concluded that there will always be cheaters in all areas of life. They're just playing a different game – and one day, they're likely to be spectacularly caught out.
You should run around asking them all for references. Have them sent to a P.O. Box. See if any – and how many – respond. That ought to be good for a follow up post! LOL
One small defense about this…. While I agree FB shouldn't allow us to tag identify others as working with us, it's a VERY easy mistake to make.
Case and Point – a few months ago I was trying to make a smart list for people that were involved in Empire Avenue. After I earmarked 90 or so people, It was brought to my attention that I was saying these people worked at "Tony Bennett for Senate/ Social Media Superhero.." I put quickly out an oops I'm a moron status update, but I'm sure it ticked off quite a few people. I had NO IDEA that particular smart list was for people I worked with!
Weird, that's never happened to me. Can anyone else see who you've worked with, or is it just your personal info?
It definitely needs work though as some people in my list are people I still work with, whilst others I used to work with – still says 'worked with' for both. Some of those I used to work with (same company as the others) don't appear in the list at all, so it's inconsistent.
Oh geez, I looked a little more closely at your illustration and saw I was an example. Trust me, I know we never worked together because I don't even have a company!
Some blame should be placed on facebook as well because once I found about it, I disbanded the entire list… But obviously it doesn't retract the work request if you still have it!. I did that back in October I think!
Anyway, thanks for still being friends with me after all the BS I put you through :)
I've never even seen this option on Facebook, likely because I use FB for more intimate friends – even if we've worked together. The notion of identifying whether we have worked together is moot – I see that as a place for LinkedIn. Speaking of LinkedIn, I've often checked off that I've worked with someone at a specific company, even though not true, because I don't know their personal email address to have the 'request to connect' go through. The person at the other end always knows me, and accepts with no 'issue' taken at associating myself with the wrong company.
I think I see the problem. I've had the same issue. This is likely what happened: You made a list of your Friends and categorically included them in a list that had the same title as your workplace. Thus, FB saw it as a list of your work friends. The icon for that list probably has a little briefcase next to it. It's not the same as a regular list you put your friends in. It's a "special" list. I also work in a company that relies on social media and often my work overlaps (and needs to). Add to that, I'm in charge of social media. So – FB saw your new list as a "work" list, as it was named the same as your workplace and asked everyone to include that in their profile.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 5, 2011 Defense officials believe that a government shutdown can be avoided, but they are making prudent plans in the event one does occur, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said today.
Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn III is formulating guidance for the military services and defense agencies in the event that Congress does not approve a fiscal 2011 budget by the deadline April 8.
"While the administration believes that a government shutdown will be averted, the department, including the service leadership, is engaged in prudent planning so that we will be ready if one were to occur," Morrell said during a news conference. "While a shutdown would be extremely disruptive to the department and those who work here, I want to underscore that we would still have the authority and the ability to continue key national security activities, including the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, operations in Libya, and humanitarian assistance in Japan, to name a few."
The Obama administration is working with congressional leaders to avert a shutdown. "I think negotiations are clearly at a very sensitive point, so I don't think it is wise for me to delve too much into this," Morrell said. "But it is certainly our hope here that we can avoid a shutdown come midnight on Friday evening."
Lynn is in the process of putting out guidance to major DOD components about how they should go about planning for a possible shutdown. This would include guidance on what would constitute an exempt or essential operation or mission, and who would be needed to man those missions.
Morrell said there has been no determination yet on how a potential shutdown would affect military pay.
"We have not been able yet to arrive at a conclusive determination about how everyone's pay would be impacted by this," he said. "We are still working through that. So I don't have a definitive answer for you to relay to our forces in Iraq or Afghanistan. Unfortunately, that's still an issue that's being worked."
Article is closed to new comments.
The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
If they do not pass the budget, my only request is to give clear guidance to our leaders on how to go about closing down our Government. Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn III is right by saying this will be very disruptive. I am afraid of the impression this gives of our country on other nations.
- Corey Cummings, Travis AFB CA
And what about the disabled wives that have been thrown away and are supporting active duty member's children on their own with hardly anything for childsupport??????? If you cut off their pay, then we end up homeless AGAIN and our kids go hungry!!!!! The relief society wont help us without the active duty members permission and he wont give it! I know because of a previous mess up by the DOD leaving my daughter and I homeless and hungry!!!!!! You talk about causing them hardship.......but not once have you made arrangements for the kids they have thrown away!!!! My daughter already struggles emotionally because of abandonment issues........now you want her to suck it up more???????
- Kathleen, Yuma
This is not merely a Republican or a Democratic issue - it is an American issue! Our nation is at a fiscal crossroad - we can either take the path of decay by increasing the deficit and continuing business as usual, or we can make the hard choice to reduce the deficit and undergo a REAL Government tranformation! Stop painting this as a political issue - it is an ECONOMIC issue, and both parties are using this as an instrument of partisan politics instead of just "doing the right thing" for our current citizens and those who are not born yet.
- Joe, Kansas
There certainly are programs (civilian and defense) that can and should be cut, but it never should be done on the backs of the hard-working uniformed and non-uniformed personnel in the federal workplace. There are people in the US government who live paycheck-to-paycheck and really will suffer because of Washington politics. It is irresponsible for our leaders to behave in this fashion.
- John, Camp Pendleton
The democrats had a majority in both Congress and Senate when this budget was due to be put passed. They were to busy spending time and money on a load of crap health care bill. No the democrats own this one.Republicans always have supported the military.That is why they already have a plan on the table to fund the military only for the rest of 2011. Study before you speak. You might actually become smarter.
- Mike Morris, Texas
Why would the above person automatically blame republicans.that's the problem these days. We are so quick to blame one another that we don't stop and just work out the problem at hand.
- Marie, Az
This is the third time a shutdown has been threatened in recent months. DOD plans contingencies for things that most of us couldn't imagine in regions that no one ever hears about. I don't understand why someone hasn't developed a plan for how to pay military members and retirees in a situation like this or, if pay must be interrupted, hasn't issued a public warning that this would be a consequence. What did we do (twice) in the 1990s and why would it be different now?
- Thomas Corcoran, Burlington, VT
And what of the men and women in uniform? How about continuing to pay them during the shutdown? How about you stop treating them like they're property and start treating them as an asset! If the men and women in uniform dont get paid, then none of you people in suits should be getting paid either!
- Justyn, California
This is utter madness. The republicans played this game before and lost. They will lose again. Because at the end of the day, when people don't get paid and banks start forclosure procedures on millions of government employess who can't pay their morgages, then it will be pay back in 2012 against the republicans. Some government employess live paycheck to paycheck. Putting millions of people into the street into food lines shows they have no compassion. They only care about the tea party zealots (who are nothing more than KKK in disguise). I think all blue dog democrats are nothing more than hybrid clansman and should leave the democratic party.

KANE – A change was made Friday in the bail for Kathleen S. Douglas-- a Kane woman facing manslaughter charges in a horrific Aug. 31 traffic accident that killed six.
Kane District Court Judge Dave Engman said Friday that the bail for Douglas will remain at $750,000. However, the "bail type" is now listed as "unsecured" rather than "monetary."

Quantum Cryptography
Speaker(s): Daniel Gottesman
Abstract: Information has always been valuable, never more so than in recent decades, and throughout history people have turned to cryptography in an attempt to keep important information secret. New technologies are now emerging based on the counterintuitive laws of quantum physics that govern the atomic scale. These technologies threaten cryptographic methods which are in widespread use today, but offer new quantum cryptographic protocols which could profoundly alter the world of cryptography.

My book came!
I just got the photo book I ordered from www.viovio.com and I can't recommend it highly enough! The book size is larger than the Shutterfly book, the quality is the same, or maybe even better (or that could just be because it's bigger), and the price was considerably less. I paid $45 with shipping for the Viovio book, the Shutterfly book would have been $93 before shipping.
Oh, and if you're thinking of ordering anything from Viovio, go with the cheapest shipping. I thought of upgrading to a "faster" shipping option for more money, but in the end went with the $1.99 rate, which they said could take 2-3 weeks. I got the notification on Monday night that my product shipped, and the book came today. I'm so glad I didn't spend the extra $$.
Oh, more details please. What size did you get? How many pages? I recently ordered two books from Winkflash and was very pleased with the results for the price. The first book was 12x16 and was a wedding album. They no longer make the size, but I really liked the large book. Then they came out with a 10x8 size and as a special, offered one book, from 20-100 pages, for an introductory price of $19.95. I couldn't pass it up. It came out beautiful. The hard cover is not as nice as the shutterfly books, but the paper is archival quality and very nice. I originally was printing mine and home and putting them in scrapbook albums with plastic sleeves, but boy the ink was getting expensive. Then I found Sam's Club offered an 8x10 for $1.46, so I did that, but there are no scrapbooks that size. Having them printed in books is a very reasonable alternative.
My Blog
My Gallery
I have a question. When you order a book are they theme albums or random pages you made?? The reason I ask is cause I have plenty of unprinted LO's but not any theme like weddding or heritage etc.Wondering if I need to work on a theme first to complete before printing a book.
I went with the 8.5x8.5 book because I scrap at 6x6. My computer can't handle 12x12. I did notice that some of my earlier LOs, done at 5x5, weren't as clear at this size, but the 6x6 came out great. The cover is just as nice as the Shutterfly book.
My book was 93 pages. I got hardcover, but they also offer a soft cover option in this size. They have a cover wrap option, so, if I had taken the time, I could have created an image to go from the front to the back covers of the book. Oh and they do have rectangular sizes too.
I was very tempted to go with the 10x10, but in the end didn't do it because I had concerns about the quality, and I'm glad I resisted the urge. That would have only added about $10 to the cost, if I remember correctly.
The one thing I found confusing at first was uploading the photos. They said you could make a .pdf document and upload it that way, but when I did that the 5x5 images printed smaller and I didn't like how that looked. I could do them one by one, but at 93 images, yikes! Besides it kept trying to create my book with each set of images I uploaded and I had a hard time figuring out how to edit it. What finally worked like a charm was renaming my LOs by page number and zipping them into a file. You upload that zip file in one of the image slots and it automatically unzips them and orders them by number. Once I figured it out, I was finished in minutes.
I do mine by year, which is how I scrap. This book was 2006-2007. I was going to do each year in its own book, but then realized it was cheaper to combine them. And the book looks nice as a larger volume, with the two years in there, compared the free 20 page books I'd won from Shutterfly. So, since I'm scrapping backwards, I'll print my next book at 2004-2005, or just 2005 if I end up with too many pages to fit in one book. I believe I could have fit up to 140 pages in my book, but each book size has different specifications.
I have a question! Do they print it on photo paper?
I just got back LOs printed on cardstock and they look a lot more realistic than LOs I have done on photo paper , so I am now a cardstock printing gal. I can't seem to see their prices either.
No, it's not photo paper, but it's not cardstock either. It's not that stiff, since it would make the book too thick (I think). It's a good quality thicker paper though. It's kind of like it you have really good quality cook book with color pictures, that's the best comparison I can come up with . I wish there was a way to "show" you, but all you'd really get out of that were photos of the same LOs that are already in the gallery.
I found this here (http://www.viovio.com/wiki/Square+Photo+Books) at the Viovio website:
As always, Viovio offers professional results at a price that squelches the competition. Our softcover perfect-bound square books start at $4.99 plus $.25 per page, while our hardcovers start at $14.99 plus $.25 per page. Our exquisite 10" hardcover photo album starts at $14.99 plus $.40 per page. And the 12x12 hard cover memory album starts at $14.99 plus $.75 per page.
Thanks Lori for the info.It is greatly appreciated

By Navy Seaman Alexander TiddSpecial to American Forces Press Service
SAN DIEGO, May 15, 2009 The vice president and his wife visited USS Ronald Reagan here yesterday as part of a familiarization tour of naval facilities in southern California.
While aboard the USS Ronald Reagan, Vice President Joe Biden announced the Defense Department's plan to expand its housing assistance program with $555 million for servicemembers forced to sell their homes at a loss during the country's struggling housing market.
During their tour, Biden commented on the Ronald Reagan Strike Group's successful 2008 deployment, which included humanitarian assistance in the Philippines and combat operations in Afghanistan.
"You are agile, capable in a variety of missions, and you're brave enough to succeed every time you are deployed," Biden told the 2,000 sailors.
"A grateful nation owes you," he said.
Much to the delight of the crew, the vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, sat down for lunch with Ronald Reagan sailors after his speech.
"It's exciting, a once-in-a-lifetime experience," said Aviation Boatswain's Mate Airman Elizabeth Irby. "I was speechless when he sat down with us. He was intriguing and inspirational."
"Having the vice president visit is something I wouldn't get to do in any other job," added Machinist's Mate Fireman Alecia Guerrera. "It's nice to hear his support for the military and Reagan in particular."
The vice president posed for hundreds of photos with sailors, thanking them individually for their service.
"I hope you all realize how much we support you," he said.
Jill Biden, who along with First Lady Michelle Obama advocates for military families, met later with area ombudsmen to discuss family readiness issues.
"Your loved ones will not be alone when you deploy," she told the Ronald Reagan crew. "Your country appreciates your courage and strength."
USS Ronald Reagan is the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 7 and the ninth of 10 Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. The ship is named for the 40th president. Its motto, "peace through strength," was a recurring theme during the Reagan presidency.

Suspect in firefighter beating turns himself in
HUNTINGTON -- A suspect in the alleged beating and stabbing of a Huntington firefighter turned himself in to authorities Friday, according to Huntington Police Detective Chris Sperry.
On Saturday morning, Sperry said Justin Stahl, 20, turned himself in, was arraigned before Cabell County Magistrate Mike Woelfel and posted bond. The second suspect, Rhamel Hatcher, is still being sought.
Stahl and Hatcher are both charged with malicious wounding, stemming from a June 20 altercation behind a nightclub in the 1200 block of 4th Avenue.
The pair are alleged to have attacked Huntington firefighter Seth Summers, 23, as he was helping a friend outside a nearby sporting goods store. Summers lost consciousness and woke in an intensive care room with three stab wounds to his stomach, along with bruises and a boot imprint to his face. He was released from the hospital last week and has since returned to light-duty work, according to Huntington Fire Chief Carl Eastham.
Court records link the two men to a series of incidents. Stahl was charged with five felonies related to a 2012 incident, but those charges were dismissed when the victim failed to appear in court. Hatcher served a one-year jail sentence for his role in the 2010 beating death of leukemia patient Jeremy Scott Cook.
The current incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information on Hatcher's whereabouts is asked to call the Huntington Police Department tip line at 304-696-4444.
