If there is
anyone out there actually reading this stuff, and is in Vegas for Pulse, or at
the LIG is
But – not
unusually – I have distracted myself a little from where I thought I was going
when I started writing this. So … I booked some flights: from
Let me divert again a little bit and remind you – because you are all experts and know this stuff – about a basic knowledge management concept; the spectrum that runs data->information->knowledge->wisdom. At the beginning data is extensive but not too helpful. If it ever reaches wisdom[1] it actually helps you survive and thrive.
But back to that
travel information I was getting. Remember I had booked a flight in late
February to the
I interpret it –this may be grossly unfair of me, but I am the customer and customer perception is what matters – like this: travel advice is being planned and delivered by someone who goes to the same desk in the same office everyday, and rarely puts foot on an airplane. Of course the real culprit behind this is ease of programming – data is cheap and plentiful, applying some basic ideas to turn that into information is quite fun, sounds good and means you can despatch all sorts of travel notice updates to people who will be travelling sometime in the future. But it is – sorry but it really is – just using data because you have it. Maybe they bill on the number of messages? Maybe they really think I want to know? The real consequence is that I delete these emails unread now – so if they were by some miracle to send me something useful, I would miss it altogether.
Another example,
last year this system showed the kind of silo thinking that comes from not
knowing the customer's environment – the kind you often see in service
management reporting. I spoke for itSMF
Now of course
I suppose if somebody were to ask me what I want notifications about, I would be happy to work with them, and set up delivering something that goes beyond information, starts delivering knowledge and gets me the wisdom I need to make the right decisions.
But if that is actually ever to happen then those of us receiving all this useless information need to realise it is – mostly – our fault. I could have responded offering to help them improve, I could proactively tell them what I need – I could offer some of my time as an investment in my own future knowledge and wisdom deliverables. But It is easier (and more fun?) to carp and whinge – so maybe my New Year's resolution should have been around practising what I preach – doing what I talked about in my itSMF conference presentations last year – and to start being a good, committed constructive customer because it won't get better otherwise.
OK – I'm off to find the 'help us improve our service' button on the web site. See you at Pulse?
And a final reminder – For simulation information go to our landing page- for info on LIG presentations go to http://www.itsmfusa.org/local-interest-groups
[1] Best explanation of the step from knowledge to wisdom is one I stole from my daughter, Rosie and it goes 'Knowledge tells you a tomato is a fruit, not a vegetable; wisdom is knowing that but also knowing not to put it in a fruit salad'.

|Banking by phone adds to customer service
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Banking from home. Many, if not all banks around the United States have implemented internet banking, but Holyoke Community Federal Credit Union has taken banking a step further. Banking by telephone.
Banking by phone isn't anything brand new, but it is somewhat new to Holyoke.
The system is designed to allow members to call into their accounts and access account balances, loan balances, and to make transfers and loan payments within the account.
"We've been looking at it for at least six years," president Ron Goldenstein, said. "We recently received a new computer system and software so we decided to upgrade it and incorporate this banking by phone."
Goldenstein said it won't affect service currently offered within the bank. He said it will cut down on phone traffic during a normal business day.
Goldenstein mentioned surveys and statistics have shown phone traffic within the credit union will be cut down by 27 percent.
The banking by phone system is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for customers to use.
"We think it will be convenient for people who live out of the area as well as people who live here locally," Goldenstein said.
Goldenstein said everything is in place and the system has been installed. He hopes everyone will be trained on it and have it up and running around Dec. 1.
CUSA Technologies was the company the Credit Union contracted with to purchase the system.
Banking by phone has been around for awhile and there haven't been any security issues within other credit unions, according to Goldenstein. It is just another addition banks and credit unions are implementing to increase customer service.
The phone number will be 800-204-6855.
Bank of Colorado also offers telephone banking at its locations.

Caveats of Buying Green Coffee
The new crop Centrals have arrived, and I have some ...but not much. Let me explain some of the caveats of buying new crop coffees.
While there's no hard and fast rule when it comes to buying green coffee, its generally better to wait for mid-crop pickings. The first coffees to arrive from any origin will come from the lowest altitudes on the farm, and therefore the coffee cherries will mature earlier. Lower altitude coffees have not properly developed, lacking bean density and often the full character of the origin.

|Tri-State boosts its renewables with 67 megawatts of power
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association celebrated the completion of Colorado's newest renewable energy facility Thursday, Dec. 20 at the dedication of the Colorado Highlands Wind project in northeast Colorado.
Tri-State was joined at the event by the project's joint owners, Alliance Power, Inc. of Centennial and GE Energy Financial Services of Stamford, Conn., as well as several state, county and local elected officials.
Tri-State has a 20-year power purchase agreement to buy the electricity from the 67-megawatt wind farm, which is located on a 5,200-acre site in northeast Colorado's Logan County, within the service territory of Tri-State member co-op Highline Electric Association.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper voiced his support of the project and offered his congratulations. "Our state has long been a global leader in the area of wind, solar and other sources of renewable energy. This is because we have the fortune of attracting leaders such as Tri-State who work to increase the amount of renewable resources in our energy mix. We look forward to witnessing the positive impacts of the Colorado Highlands Wind project," Hickenlooper said.
"The Colorado Highlands Wind project presented a great opportunity for Tri-State and our member electric co-ops," said Tri-State senior vice president Brad Nebergall. "It increases the amount of renewable resources in our energy mix and further diversifies our overall generation portfolio—while also assisting our members to meet their obligations under state renewable portfolio standards."
"We're pleased that the project is located within Highline Electric's service territory," said Mark Farnsworth, manager of the local electric co-op. "We support Tri-State's continued efforts in securing reliable, affordable and responsible power on our behalf, and we also appreciate the economic development opportunities that the project provides in this part of the state."
Jim Michael, managing member for Colorado Highlands Wind, oversaw the six-month construction process. He said, "We are pleased that this project was successfully completed on time and will be providing cost-effective renewable energy to Tri-State and its members for the next 20 years. This project demonstrates the ability of utilities, private enterprise and government agencies to work together to meet growing energy demands with economical renewable technologies that will bring lasting benefits to society."
Colorado Highlands Wind is the third utility-scale renewable energy facility from which Tri-State receives all of the electrical output and renewable energy credits. In 2010 the wholesale power supplier began purchasing the electricity generated at the 51-megawatt Kit Carson Windpower Project in eastern Colorado as well as the 30-megawatt Cimarron Solar Facility in northeastern New Mexico.
Based in the Denver suburb of Westminster, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association is a not-for-profit wholesale power supplier to 44 electric cooperatives and public power districts serving approximately 1.5 million consumers throughout a 200,000 square-mile service territory across Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wyoming.

At least Manchin isn't anti capitalist like so many in his party.
The US has more carbon resources than Putin could dream of yet Putin is using Russian resources to rebuild and rearm the USSR while your country refuses to use it's enormous resources to defend its own best interests.
Putin is a very dangerous leader and your president sits in his office asleep to what is happening in the world. The US could bring Putin to his knees if they would allow US industry to develop their resources but your ruling party forbids it. Yes they are useful fools.

|Lee recognized for EMS service
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Chris Lee was duly recognized and clearly surprised when he was presented the 2012 Jerri Moore Spirit of EMS Award at the Melissa Memorial Hospital holiday gathering Tuesday, Dec. 4.
The award acknowledges dedicated Emergency Medical Services (EMS) employee Jerri Moore, who was murdered in March of 2004. Each year, a member of the ambulance service is recognized for their outstanding service.
In presenting the award at last week's program at MMH, Terry Andersen praised Lee, a first responder, for his willingness to cover on-call shifts and to step in when needed.
Past award recipients choose the winner each year, and their name is added to the large plaque that hangs in the waiting area by the nurse's station at MMH.
Chris Lee, pictured at right, accepts congratulations from Terry Andersen when Lee was announced as the 2012 Jerri Moore Spirit of EMS Award winner last week.
The plaque features a colored photo of Moore in action with EMS in a 2002 disaster drill. Each's year's winner is added on a separate gold plate on the plaque. Everyone has a nickname in the EMS program, and those nicknames are also included on the plaque.
Jerri Moore Spirit of EMS Award "Jake" heads the award. It then reads, "Jerri Moore had a deep passion, dedication and caring attitude for all phases of EMS. Jerri's award will be given yearly to the person who possesses the qualities that Jerri will forever be remembered for."
Individual plates on the plaque acknowledge the following winners:
2004, Barry Winckler, "Ooga Boga;" 2005, Sharon Greenman, "Mario;" 2006, Christie Winckler, "Snooze" and Terry Andersen, "Chief;" 2007, Melissa Mayden, "Pipes;" 2008, Steve Young, "Frog;" 2009, Sheila Robinson, "Tex;" 2010, Bob Heldenbrand, "Radio;" 2011, Shawn Borland, "Bum;" and 2012, Chris Lee, "Clark Kent."
Andersen initiated the award idea, and was surprised in 2006 when fellow EMS personnel added his name as a second award winner that year.

Watch the trailer and tell me I'm wrong.
Jersey Shore Trailer | Video | MTV
I can't see the trailer on my computer, but I've seen the commercials on TV. Can't recall anything that really stood out as terrorism...what am I looking for? Is it something on the trailer that's not on the 30-sec TV commercial?
It's supposed to be sarcasm, as in, why would MTV feel the need to torture innocent Americans with this horse crap?
Gotcha. Typical of (M)TV these days though.
I don't think you used sarcasm at all... I wanted to blow my brains out after watching 15 seconds of that. Once the girl compared herself to a preying mantis, I was done.
Fist pump, fist pump...I cant believe we lost Rob & Big and get crap like this, at least I can watch Fantasy Factory

Omg. I haaaaaattttteeeeeee those a-hole jersey shore people. They are all just horrible horrible human beings. They literally make me want to shoot someone. Nice fake tan and blown out haircut, and the chics give you 0 hope for the future of the Italian race.
I missed it, unless you are referencing them saying "they would blow that town up." What I do know, is that I will never get that two minutes of my life back.

WASHINGTON – An elderly woman was thrown to the ground and robbed as she left a Montgomery County Safeway Tuesday night.
Detectives have released a surveillance video that shows the woman collecting her bags when the man accosts her inside the grocery store, at 13814 Outlet Drive, in the Briggs Chaney area.

The woman suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene, police say.
Police are looking for a black man, age 20 to 25, about 6-foot-1, weighing 190 pounds. He was wearing a black knit hat, a dark blue puffy jacket, light khaki pants and a black backpack.

4th quarter key in Wolverine setback
Harris-Lake Park pulled away in the fourth quarter to down West Bend-Mallard/Gilmore City-Bradgate, 52-41 in conference action in West Bend on Jan. 15.
Kayla Banwart's 10 points sparked the Wolverines. Kenzie Grimm was next with seven. Banwart also made eight steals and two assists. Grimm had four assists.
Trailing just 13-12 after the first quarter, WBM/GCB fell behind 31-22 at halftime, but clawed back by outscoring H-LP 12-6 in the third period to cut the deficit to 37-34 entering the final period. H-LP then outscored WBM/GCB 15-7 in the final period.
"We're starting to shoot the ball better at this point in the season," Wolverine coach Eugene Ruppert said. "We're starting to come around with our shooting. With some luck, we can start running a string here coming up."
"I feel better about our team now. We play good defense and our offense is improving. If we continue to shoot the ball better, we feel we can play with anybody," Ruppert said.
The Wolverines, 6-9 overall, 3-5 in the Corn Belt Conference, play hosted to CWL on Jan. 25.

Cop Cruiser Crashes
Officer en route to call involved in fender-bender
May 1, 2013
A city police officer en route to a report of a man screaming for help was involved in a vehicle accident at the intersection of Washington Avenue and National Road just after noon Tuesday....
Kimball: "Gee Mr. Douglas, why don't you come down from that telephone pole. People have cell phones now...and they're everywhere."
Mr. Douglas: "Cell phones? But Kimball, whatever happenend to the man screaming for help?"
Kimball: "That's not important right now, Douglas. As puppets of the government;...I mean agents of the government, we have a duty to use every means possible to stop people from talking on their cell phones while driving. And if you do ever decide to come down from that telephone pole, just be sure that I'll be watching you."
Mr. Douglas: "Hey Kimball, I think I hear somebody crying out for help."
Kimball: "They'll have to wait for somebody else. Hey you over there! Yeah you. Get off that cell phone!"

But I agree with you about them overstepping their boundaries. Write the ticket and let judge do his job. No need to abuse people. They need to learn the law first though. Example-KFC 55k to settle, another 100 K to postwait for discrimination. How many hush hush Its our buck, we should know.

whgfeeling-I agree, get off road. But we know there is always that person that panics, often teen or elderly-that doesnt move. Dont know anything about those not having license.
Not sure what you disagree with. The cops going to have to ticket/arrest for judge to do job-that I agree with. I just cant understand that no comment was made that they were going to pursue the gold car that caused accident and fled. Old rusty threatened my 16 yr old daughter with arrest over 92 cents worth of gas that he thought she stole. The gas station made a mistake and gave her a $50 certificate, but he was pounding on the door within an hour, and they cant find this driver. LOL Maybe they should get rusty back

Im sure people were rubber necking with their IPhones. Now we are allowed to record officers. For awhile, people were arrested for this, police said it was survailance. So the story got out-another cruiser bites the dust. If you havent noticed, NR is not exactly a first class act. They sure wrote about the firemen getting DUI's now didnt they. Dont think the fireman thought to call the NR when drunk and avoided a deer either.

JoeEllen-that was my point in my questions-when sirens and lights appear, you get out of the way. If you dont respect that law, its the police's job to get those drivers off the road. If I hit another driver, I could be charged with failure to control vehicle-fair enough. Somebody-who did nothing wrong, got hit by cruiser. I think its fair to ask about screaming man. Lets see, have one cop with badge, gun, nite stick, tazer, cruiser with cage-he calls for back up for a man who is screaming and several officers respond, one wrecking a cruiser to get there. That officer could have killed someone by failing to control vehicle. Of course people should move-but we all know there are some dumb drivers, thats why we teach our teens that a vehicle can be deadly. I just want accountability. What happened to the screaming man, and who was driving the get away car? Accoustal is right, lipstick and mascara time-this is not about cell phone use. Laughable story

I think there are many questions that should be answered instead of publishing this fluff story. I guess the moral to this story is for "officer yelled at drivers to get off cell phone" before THEY Cause an accident.
Like others, I see lots of cops, and they take off past me on 40 or I-70 for emergencies. Thats their job. If a car causes a crash, I would like to know if they got his/her license. What is all this fancy equiptment we have paid for if not for catching someone that caused an accident-and worse, fled the scene not caring who was injured. They did not report injuries, but that Barney Fife always saves the day, out of the office and on the scene to cover the story.

I do understand that some people, cops, lawyers, doctors, teachers, humans are crooked - but that doesn't mean they all are. . .
Sonof - i dont think youre crazy, I actually agree - more than 2 officers for a speeding violation or inspection sticker ... Likely a waste - but a man screaming for help could be worthy of every unit being at his location. . . I hope that if I need help, the lights and sirens go on and the speed increases to come to my aid...
we should get out of the way... And in my opinion - the car that decided to keep going and not just wait a dang second, is selfish. What if someone's daughter / son was just kidnapped? Or someone was hanging out of a window? What if they were getting attacked by a dog and needed immediate assistance.. . Waiting at that intersection could take two full light cycles ... That's a long time when urgent care is needed. Can't we give them a break, at least sometimes?

JoeEllen2 - I think it's reasonable to complain about too much of any profession, especially in the public sector. Isn't that what everyone is griping about these days - more accountability in government?
I just think it's odd when someone gets pulled over for an expired inspection sticker or something relatively trivial. Then, 2 or 3 more cruisers enter the fray. Flashing lights everywhere. It suddenly appears like they nabbed the Boston Marathon bomber.
Perhaps I'm overreacting. Just my interpretation. Call me crazy. Many have.

What ever happened to when you hear the sirens and see the lights ... You pull over?
Why does it matter what was wrong with the man that clearly needed help? How do you know only one officer was needed? And why on earth would you complain about "too many officers"?????
Insane. I hope everyone involved is okay...

way out of hand. There used to be a few checkpoints a year (usually Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend). Now they have them on a weekly basis.
It wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't know the truth... they'll keep on having more and more of them as long as they get grants and the system keeps churning away. The progression has been getting steadily more invasive, especially in the past few years. Honestly, at what point does it reach the level of absurdity. As if it's not there already.
Just my thoughts.

Not to state the incredibly obvious... but if there are 5 police cruisers always patrolling the 4 mile span from the Elm Grove McDonald's to the Fulton Dairy Queen, running concentric circles around the Alpha and peeling out of Sheetz on a regular basis... then yep, eventually there are going to be accidents. It's just a matter of frequency and numbers.
It should make you ask the question, "Exactly what is a reasonable cop/civilian ratio in a town with a stagnant, predominantly elderly population?"
You always hear the comment, "We need more cops on the beat." Maybe instead of just saying the word "more," the voting public should demand a specific number based on other cities.
I go to Pittsburgh all the time - likely a more dangerous city than Wheeling and rarely see cruisers. Then, I get off at the Washington Ave. exit and see something that resembles the emergence of a police state.
I can't be the only one who is thinking this. It has gotten

We have some real eager beavers -..I'm suprised she didn't run into another cruiser...there's so many on the roads.
BTW...you can't use your phone...but it's ok to eat, light and smoke cigarettes, talk on a CB, use a computer, put on make-up, fix your hair, shave, smack children in the back seat, adjust the radio...etc, etc, etc...
Crime...what is crime any more? There seems to be a diminishing line between normal life and crime. Every citizen is a potential money-maker. Sad. Bad way to run a society.

What happened to the screaming man? Had he been stabbed? attacked by a pit bull? Angry with his neighbor over parking? Was he intoxicated? What was the seriousness of having several cruisers on the scene traveling from other neighborhoods? It must have been very serious to require more than one officer. Please tell. Lets have the full story-it is public record to the best of my knowlege. Was the person in the gold car on the cell phone? What was the location of the screaming man? The full truth will instill confidence in our police force if due. At this point, Headlines should read-Cruiser strikes innocent driver, Kimball yells at passer bys at scene. Who pays for damages?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Dont the cruisers have a camera that can capture the license plate of the "gold car"? and, the driver that was struck by the cruiser-why was a statement not taken and reported by the NR as to what they witnessed and experienced? What is being done to apprehend this gold car that caused this accident? When these accidents happen involving police, the civilians story is rarely reported. I am in no way implying that it was not exactly as stated-but the citizens should have a voice when they are struck by a cruiser and that needs to happen immediately by a non bias party to prevent law suits in the future. The story starts with cruiser striking another car, then spins off on drivers passing using cell phones. Im sure there were rubber neckers attempting to get photo's with their camera phone. Is the story about an accident or about drivers using phone devices. Take a statement from victim in beginning, later they will say he/she is lying for monetary reasons.

Last night's Chefs Challenge was epic!
At our Portland Pub seven of the best chefs, from what is undoubtedly becoming one of the best food cities in the country – Portland, paired their best with one of our beers to benefit Morrison Child & Family Services. I was lucky enough to be one of the judges. We've done this before starting three years ago, after the pub opened. That year was, without question, the best beer dinner I've ever attended in my 24 odd years in "the business". Subsequent years have met and/or surpassed that expectation.
This year the pairings were:
- Gavin Ledson from Davis Street Tavern (last year's winner) prepared Pork Jowl Bahn Mi paired with Chainbreaker White IPA.
- John Eisenhart from Pazzo Ristorante made Veal Cheeks with Moscato, Candy Cap Mushrooms and Savoy Cabbage paired with Mirror Pond Pale Ale.
- Sarah Schafer from Irving Street Kitchen made Spice Seared Scallop with Pork Belly, Black Eyed Peas and Bourbon Mustard Jus paired with The Stoic.
- Jeff Usinowicz from our own Deschutes Brewery Portland Public House prepared Dry Aged Baby Back Ribs with Tart Cherry BBQ Sauce, Yam Goat Cheese Croquettes, Roasted Onion Salad paired with Armory XPA.
- Paul Bachand from Recipe made Hand Formed Duck Fat Sope with Crispy Duck Carnitas, Smoked Hazelnut Mole & The Abyss Crème Fraiche paired with The Abyss 2011.
- Jason French from Ned Ludd prepared Turkey Confit with Polenta, Hazelnuts and Pickled Cranberries paired with Jubelale.
But wait, that's not all! Not competing (but maybe should have) Jill Ramseier from our Portland Pub made dessert in the form of, Burnt Sugar Cube, Espresso Crusted Beignet with Fresh Squeezed Vanilla-Orange Sorbet paired with Bitter Orange Cream Ale! Whoa!
I think you will agree the menu looks amazing! The night was MC'd by Chloe Houser from Fox12 (PDXTV).
Add to that, joining me at the judges table was Tracy Howard with Imbibe Magazine, Steve Body, blogger for the Seattle PI's The Pour Fool blog, Sal Zizzo, local soccer star and food cart owner, and Celebrity Chef Caprial Pence.
What a night! A capacity crowd enjoyed the meal but also a very public proposal from a couple who had flown all the way from Tucson, Arizona just for the dinner. After dinner as our MC was making the rounds interviewing guests about dinner, John grabbed the microphone and asked Melissa to marry him. Of course, she said yes! Just one more Deschutes Brewery love story with a happy ending!
At the end of the competition, the judges' ballots were tallied, as were the guests' for the People's Choice award. Who knew? For the first time ever the ballots came out the same with our own Jeff Usinowicz being the winner! Wow, what a night. I couldn't have been more proud!
Next year's Chefs Challenge is not to be missed. This is honestly the most ridiculous beer dinner ever. And all for a good cause.
See you there!

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- On Monday morning, as SWAT teams swarmed the Washington Navy Yard from the ground, U.S. Park Police helicopter Eagle 1 circled the scene from above.
On board was a four-person crew with skills perfectly suited for an active shooter situation. They're police officers, rescue technicians, and paramedics, and Monday was the mission they'd prepared their entire careers for.
"I'd say yesterday was a challenging flying day for all of us," said U.S. Park Police Sargent Ken Burchell, the pilot.
For nearly four-hours, he flew Eagle 1 low-to-the-ground and dangerously close to buildings.
"We're flying close so we can look for anything out of the ordinary," said Burchell. "Certainly if we can find a shooter or something that doesn't look right, we're calling it out to the units that are inside."
But inside was also a gunman, and the crew of Eagle 1 knew that they could be his next target. Officer Michael Abate hung from the helicopter with an M-16 rifle to provide cover.
"I was making sure that there's a rifle pointed downrange if the suspect were to pop out," said Abate.
As Officer Kelvin Dyson communicated with the teams on the ground, Sargent Dave Tolson operated the Coast Guard Rescue Basket that was used to extract four people from the rooftop of Building 197.
"We work together as a team, so you depend on the other folks in your team to provide safety while you do your job," said Tolson.
One of the people that Eagle 1 rescued from the rooftop was a woman that had been shot in the shoulder.
"That was probably one of the most gratifying moments of my career, being able to get that poor lady off the roof and into the aircraft and to the hospital," said Tolson.
"We felt good that we were able to get those people off the roof. Those people were in a bad situation and that's what we do - get people out of bad situations," said Burchell.

How tragic. My question is why are we just now bringing the attention to needed training? Law enforcement are paid too little and receive too little training for the power that they have.
We need quality officers and they deserve a decent wage. Not only should they be mentally and physically able, they deserve the training to prevent such incidents.
Very senseless death.

What Have Wages Really Been Doing Over the Last 50 Years?
Submitted by Hugh on Wed, 11/07/2012 - 3:45pm
I decided to break a rule. The BLS says that it is inappropriate to calculate seasonally adjusted wages in constant dollars. But I did so anyway. Real wages in constant dollars allow us to compare wages over time.
Average real wages (blue line) were calculated by dividing nominal weekly wages seasonally adjusted for production and nonsupervisory employees (blue collar workers) by the CPI-U All Items index and multiplying the result by 100. This index is expressed in 1982-1984 dollars and is why the blue line intercepts the nominal wage line in 1984. Read more about What Have Wages Really Been Doing Over the Last 50 Years?

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA) -- A Bethesda preschool teacher plead guilty to producing child pornography on Monday, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
According to the press release, 54-year-old James Douglas Manring filmed himself performing sexual acts on several five-year-old students while teaching at a preschool in Japan from 1996 to 1999. He then returned to the U.S. with the DVD's he produced.
Manring was discovered during a law enforcement operation called operation known as Operation Spade. He purchased videos from April 2010 to February 2011 that depicted graphic images of genitals and public areas of minor boys, which were being mailed to Manring's home in Fredericksburg, the release stated. He was arrested on Nov. 12.
Manring plead guilty to two counts of production of child pornography and faces a maximum sentence of 40 years.

Hi all,
I have a user with a Motorola Droid X. Whenever they put an item on their calendar via Zimbra, it shows up on the phone. When inputting an event on the phone, it does not go to Zimbra but to some other calendar (local? gmail? not sure yet).
My own Droid (LG Optimus) has an option when creating an appointment to select a calendar. This phone does not appear to.
Anyone know how to either make the calendar choice visible or make it default all appointments to the Zimbra calendar?
Any advice is appreciated.

Dinara Safina is set to move into the WTA Penthouse on April 20th after Serena Williams was defeated in her opening match in Marbella yesterday.
The Russian will become only the second lady baller (Sharapova) from her country to hold the keys while she and big bro' Marat are the first brother + sister to have held the top spot.
Here's what Dinara had to say about the honor:
It's a great honor to reach the No.1 ranking and it is a dream every girl who has ever wanted to play professional tennis shares. It is even extra special for me since my brother Marat was able to reach the No.1 ranking and I am happy to share this achievement with him. There's no question that while I am very proud of my results over the past year, I would have liked to reach this achievement in a different manner. I hope to prove to everyone over the coming months that I merit the honor of being world No.1.
Yes, we're all hoping the same thing. Obviously it's not your fault the WTA's system is severely screwy but it is what it is.
So in the meantime, CONGRATS!!!
PS - I'll be looking for my invite to the housewarming. I give good gifts. Seriously.

WTA is screwy? Why wont you call Serena's committment to the game screwy? 2 slams and another final and she cant keep the #1 ranking... speaks VOLUMES to her distain to anything other than a slam - or Miami.ReplyDelete
I hope Dinara has a decent year. Her serve will be her downfall. There are so many moving parts to it, it's almost a surprise when she gets a first serve in these days.ReplyDelete
You can always tell when others don't have a clue about the WTA when certain comments are made, but I'll leave that alone.
Congrats to Dinara.
I love Anonymous' comments about being Dinara's friend in order to get some face time with Marat!! Very funny because I was just thinking the opposite!! How lovely to be Marat's friend just now to be able to get some face time with Dinara. I would love to help her celebrate the new penthouse digs!. Yes, incredibly, there are some of us out here that find her John Wayne swagger, grumpy faces, and inelegant mannerisms actually endearing!ReplyDelete
As for her serve, she just can't seem to stop herself from tossing the ball up into the stratosphere and as Anonymous said, it IS a surprise when she gets the first serve in, so much so that I think she herself is shocked sometimes judging by her reaction time to the return serve. *sigh*. Hopefully her game sharpens up and she can enjoy a run like last year, if only to hush the naysayers.
Maybe now that the weight of the world has been lifted just a bit, she won't have such a problem with her mental game.
Congrats Dinara
I think Dinara's press release was a good move on her team's part; good way to address all the negative *how can you be number #1 when you've never won a grand slam* comments. I'm not saying I agree with the rankings system but at least she's dealing with it up front.ReplyDelete
Dear Richie,ReplyDelete
I would love to invite you to housewarming, but I am too busy fixing my game and working on my serve. Plus, this old lady natch keeps following me around, yelling at me that I can win if I get it in my head I can win. Then she ask me all kinds of crazy questions about Rafa, like I know him. I find your name and blog address taped to her, so can you take her back, please?
PS - You can give gift for me to my agent. If I like, I comp you in to USO.
that last comment has got to be kidding me...my god...ReplyDelete

LOL at natch!! :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 9, 2009 at 11:01 AM
I'm not happy about this at all....Another slamless #1....ReplyDelete
natch: ROFL!!! So really, where's my invite? I'm SO hoping Marat's there and we play party games like "Spit on his", eh, I mean "Spin the Bottle".ReplyDelete
Sorry got confused with the version I play on weekends. My bad.
I love Dinara so I'm happy for her, but I so very much hope she doesn't have to deal with the crap JJ had to. I'm not a JJ fan and I found myself defending her #1 ranking last year/early this year. I hope she plays up to it, but I have a bad feeling about this.ReplyDelete
And please, these are the rules set by the WTA. Don't blame the players.
Marat told me you liked a good game of "Hide the racquet"...
I just confirmed our Wimby date with Andre and Steffi--I'm able to go! Yay!!!! You better show up. There's no way I can take the two of them all by myself. If Andre zings one of those 120mph returns at me, I'll have to duck and cover.
I love Dinara (in a very different way to the way I love her brother *blushes*), so I'm glad that she's #1. I just hope that she can hold onto it... It would be nice to see her win a slam.ReplyDelete

Lawmakers rode the rails in Russia
Other trips reported for the year include Pebble Beach, Maui
SACRAMENTO A Democrat enjoyed the Carmel Bay golf mecca of Pebble Beach courtesy of the prison guard's union, and a Republican went there courtesy of insurance companies.
Legislative disclosure forms for 2012 have just been filed, and they show every state lawmaker from San Diego County accepted gifts last year, among them trips to Russia, Mexico and Maui.
Legislative trips are most often sponsored by nonprofit organizations that receive contributions from interest groups, from corporations to labor unions. Such power brokers are given unique access to lawmakers when they accompany them on the treks.
"These are supposed to be educational trips that are related to governmental and legislative business," said Phillip Ung, policy director at the watchdog organization California Common Cause. "However, it ceases to be an educational trip if there is a lobbyist there and it becomes an advocacy trip."
Here's a sample of what area lawmakers reported:
• Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, accepted a $6,395 trip to Russia primarily to learn about and ride high-speed rail. The September trip was financed by the Saint Petersburg Legislative Assembly and Moscow City Duma. Atkins' spokesman said she learned about high-speed rail financing and construction as well as the limitations and advantages of such projects.
Atkins said acceptance of the gift poses no problem.
"While I cannot envision a scenario where the Moscow Duma could have any position of influence over the California Legislature, I can absolutely assure my constituents that this trip, or any gift for that matter, does not and will not have any undo influence over me," she said.
Atkins, as Assembly majority leader, also accepted a $1,607 trip to Florida from the State Legislative Leaders Foundation.
• Sen. Joel Anderson, R-Alpine, accepted $2,480 in travel and accommodations for meetings of the American Legislative Exchange Council — which works to advance the principles of free-market enterprise and limited government. Anderson also accepted $2,105 to travel to Mexico for meetings with the Chiapas State Government. The travel was paid for by the Environmental Defense Fund, Council of State Governments, California-Mexico Studies Center and others.
• Sen. Marty Block, then a state assemblyman, took a $1,056 trip to Maui sponsored by the Pacific Policy Research Foundation. The group, led in part by a former Republican lawmaker, bills itself as dedicated to the discussion of public policy and complex issues to the benefit of California. Block's aide said the summit focused on bipartisanship and included speakers from business and organized labor.
Block attended a $1,004 trip to San Francisco sponsored by the California Issues Forum, where he made a speech and participated on a panel. The retreat focused on carbon fuel standards, state environmental quality laws and health benefit exchange and featured a number of state agency directors, the aide said.
• Assemblyman Rocky Chávez, R-Oceanside, received $238 for food and lodging from TechNet for the group's policy conference and tech academy in Sonoma County. Chávez's spokeswoman said he attended the function to try to recruit employers to San Diego County.
• Assemblyman Ben Hueso, D-San Diego, took a $2,176 trip to Pebble Beach paid for by the California Correctional Peace Officers Association. Panel participants received two nights at the Inn at Spanish Bay, breakfast, box lunch, and dinner. Hueso, the chairman of the Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee, attended at least four events around the state totaling $2,642 paid for by Humboldt Redwood Company, Klamath Alliance for Resources and Environment, Sierra Pacific Industries, California Trout, Trout Unlimited, Nature Conservancy and California Foundation on the Environment and the Economy.
• Assemblyman Brian Jones, R-Santee, took a $1,300 trip to Pebble Beach funded by the Association of California Life and Health Insurance Companies. Jones, who drove himself to the meetings, said he participated on a panel and met with industry leaders.

As a diagnostic tool, sentinel lymph node biopsy may offer greater sensitivity to help determine if cancer has spread beyond the cervix. Removing only one or two lymph nodes also may avoid complications that can come with surgery to remove 10-30 lymph nodes.
We use sentinel lymph node biopsy to diagnose and stage cancer. This procedure helps us determine whether cancer has spread (metastasized). During a sentinel lymph node biopsy, a radioactive substance and/or a dye is injected near the tumor site. The first lymph nodes that pick up the dye are called the sentinel lymph nodes.
Your surgeon would remove the sentinel lymph nodes and send them to a pathologist to check for the presence of cancer cells. The procedure is sometimes preferred to standard lymph node dissection because it involves removing fewer lymph nodes.
A sentinel lymph node biopsy is commonly used in breast cancer treatment to see if cancer has spread to the axillary lymph nodes located under the arm. Because it helps to spare lymph nodes in the underarm area, this procedure may help prevent a condition known as lymphedema, in which excess fluid collects in tissue and causes swelling.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy also is used for gynecologic cancers as an alternative to removing the pelvic lymph nodes. Sentinel lymph node biopsy may reduce the risk of complications compared with removing the pelvic lymph nodes entirely.

text: Catch 'em while you can By Mitch Vingle May 9, 2013 Lawrence Pierce Huntington junior Cassie Mercer is ranked 38th nationally and is a good bet to win her third state title at AAA No. 1 singles. Huntington sophomore Hunter Tubert is bidding for a second state title at AAA boys No. 1 singles. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Charleston is a town filled with sports fans. In order to get those fans off their keisters, though, athletes performing here must be elite. Alert to those fans: There are two elite athletes in the ongoing state tennis tournament. Both represent Huntington High. But, nationally, they also represent West Virginia well. One is University of Virginia-bound Cassie Mercer, a junior seeking her third straight Class AAA No. 1 title. If you haven't heard of her, well, it might be because you've talked to her. "I'm really shy," she said. She certainly doesn't like talking about herself. Early in her career, she defeated the nation's hottest current junior recruit, Mayo Hibi, but gets mad when her mother Lori brings it up. She's defeated Stanford-bound Caroline Doyle. Mercer is ranked No. 38 nationally by the Tennis Recruiting Network, but she lets her racket make all the racket. Early Thursday, Buckhannon-Upshur's Erika Ridgeway heard the noise. Ridgeway scored the first point of the match on a return of serve - and then was off the court in a flash, losing 8-0. Mercer, with ponytail flying and red shoes squeaking, makes short work of most opponents. She's been doing it for a while. "My parents were both tennis coaches at Marshall," Mercer said. "I've played since I was little." Her father, John, is the women's tennis coach at Marshall. Her mother was the head coach and then assistant to John before getting out to coach junior players. "We were there at the tennis courts a lot," Lori Mercer said. "We told Cassie when she was little, 'You can play ... or not.' " She's played so well, schools lined up to offer scholarships. She quickly decided on Virginia. "I kind of knew when I went there that's where I wanted to go," Cassie Mercer said. "I visited UNC, Michigan, Duke, Tennessee and Georgia. I decided really early, though." The other elite athlete is also a Highlander: Hunter Tubert, ranked No. 96 nationally among junior boys. All he did as a high school freshman was win the Class AAA No. 1 title. No. 2 is squarely in sight after an 8-0 Thursday trouncing of John Marshall's Hayden Blazer. Oh, and kids, if you want to know how to make something of yourself, check out Tubert. "When I was young, I had these two good coaches [Murphy and Andrea Payne]," Tubert said. "One played college and one played professionally. They got me going. "I trained after practices. I dedicated myself to it. I played six to seven days a week, all day." These days he trains with the Mercers. The results include laser-like forehands and backhands that clear the net by a millimeter. "He's athletic and good on both [forehand and backhand]," Lori Mercer said. "He has a good serve and is a competitor." "I'm an all-court player," Tubert said. "I can sit back and rally, but I also like to attack the net." Tubert, a 5-foot-10 sophomore, has already beaten players like Jordan Belga, ranked No. 6 among Florida juniors, and Aron Hiltzik, No. 22 nationally and committed to playing at Illinois. Tubert? "I haven't thought of which school I'll go to," he said. "Not this year. I like Alabama overall, but I haven't given much it thought." The Huntington sophomore showed off a bit Thursday by running back for a shot and striking it back with his racket between his legs. It fell just short of the net, though, prompting him to give Blazer kudos. Beforehand, he reflected on winning the state title as a freshman. "It was a great experience," Tubert said. "The moment I won, I was so thrilled and happy. I was excited. This year, my toughest competition is [George Washington High's] Ryan Massinople. I've played him in the past some good matches." He has great faith in his training partner, Cassie Mercer. "Cassie is a great player," he said. "She won the states the last two years and does great around the country. She should easily win this. I have full faith in her." Both are worth catching while you can. Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

- Novak Djokovic after his 7-6(8), 6-7(5), 1-6, 6-3, 6-1 loss to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Aussie Open quarterfinals
No comment.

Labels: Australian Open, Novak Djokovic, player quotes, tennis
Way TMI, Nole.
Great match, and congratulations, Jo-Willy! I sure hope they hook you up to an IV for the next 48 hours.
*sob* My poor baby. The only good thing, I guess, is that it's not some kind of chronic injury, so at least he'll be back soon.
Basically all of the players I support are now ill/injured (Nole, Delpo, Dina, Rafa, Gilles). Am I some sort of curse??
natch: JWT is pumped but Fed has revenge on his mind. I think (read: hope) the Frenchie will take it though Muzz is looking like the champ in the end.
ds: can on-court sickness be considered chronic? lol
that is a strange coincidence for sure. keep your comments to a minimum just in case. i like my health.
Totes agree with you on Murray, Richie. He has been playing out of his mind crazay good.
I just want good matches, though. I'll probably be happy for whoever whomever? the guy that? wins.
In all my jet lag, I forgot to tell you I have a very funny Nole encounter to tell you about. This probably isn't the post to do it in, ya know...on account of his stomach and intestinal unpleasantness and all. Funny and Montezuma's Revenge don't quite go well together, no?
When you write another post on him, remind me and I will tell it to you. (Unless you want me to do it here.)
go on...please...ReplyDelete
poor nole! he's so honest all the time...even when it's definitely TMI.ReplyDelete
Poor Nole, I feel for you baby... :(
You looked positively sick after crushing Tsonga in the third set, it looked like you were to puke any minute on the court floor. So unfortunate, the match was yours to win. But we all love you anyway, so adje, adje, adje Novak!
Now Andy win the whole thing and put me out of my misery. This is a weird AO 10.
Alright, Richie. Here it is.
I was at a restaurant to meet a client. Nole was also there, but I didn't know it at the moment. My client had made a bet with me that I couldn't climb Mount Aconcagua without using oxygen. There was a huge sum going to charity riding on it. Well, I did it! :D (It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but, at the same time, it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.)
Quite naturally, after doing that, I was under the impression that I was the only person to ever climb a mountain. Also? No one had ever climbed a mountain as high as Mount Aconcagua. Am I right?...Am I??
So when I met with my client in Melbourne to see my big, fat check made out to my favorite charity instead of his, he brought a friend along with him. This friend had also climbed a mountain. One much higher than mine. :'( He had brought a photograph to show me how tall it was. So, with great enthusiasm and in a voice much louder that I realized, I said, "OMG! It's SO BIG!" Nole, who was walking past our table (and only heard me, not the conversation), said, "If only I had a Euro for every time I heard that." :D
Classic, right?
Natch: OMG!! Nole is made of awesome. :DDDD
Rich: Also, I'm now ill. *headdesk*
ROFL - yes classic! So much in that story to discuss. Kudos on the mountain climb espesh without oxygen. I can see why the UPS man is a satisfied customer. Oh and Rafa too of course.
I think you're living the life I was meant to have. Or wish I was meant to have.
Anyway, I bet Nole's HUGE though you couldn't tell in Montreal when he did that catwalk in briefs. I'll take his word for it. Plus, my upstairs neighbor says he reminds her OF a penis - his body. Maybe that's what he meant. lol
hope his comments made you feel better.
Thanks! *plays theme from "Rocky"* My sole inspiration was the fact my client was going to have to cough up six figures.
Big, small, or...uh...other...I'm sure Nole was just kidding. It was a great line, though.
Love your neighbor's philosophy. I'll try picturing him head to toe in a condom next time I see him play.
