Specialty risk management company Assurant Solutions is among the finalists in the seventh annual Stevie® Awards for Sales & Customer Service. The company's Mobile Services business is a contender in the "Innovation in Customer Service" category for its "Mobile Triage" technical support solution. Assurant Solutions senior operations manager Elizabeth Conner is a finalist in the "Contact Center Manager of the Year" category for leading a smooth operational transition while improving key metrics including Net Promoter Scores.
"We're honored to have been selected as a finalist for two Stevie Awards once again this year," said Craig Lemasters, president and CEO of Assurant Solutions. "It's especially meaningful to be recognized for our commitment to a positive customer experience, as this is something that's so important to us."
Mobile Triage Finalist
The Mobile Triage solution is being recognized for providing consumers with the ability to troubleshoot and repair common problems with their mobile devices, including identifying and uninstalling malware apps. It also features a mobile client that detects pending problems and offers proactive alerts so action can be taken before problems emerge.
"Staying ahead of consumer demand is very important to our Mobile Services business. Today's consumer expects uninterrupted service, and Mobile Triage helps people stay connected even when issues arise," said Manny Becerra, president of the Assurant Solutions Mobile Services business. "I'm pleased that the Stevie Awards is recognizing our commitment to delivering the kind of customer experience that reflects well on our carrier clients."
Customer Contact Manager of the Year
Elizabeth Conner, nominated as a finalist for Contact Center Manager of the Year, oversees more than 100 staff who handle more than 600,000 calls each year for the company's Extended Protection Solutions business. Her team helped implement a web-based self service solution for customers that improved customer engagement and increased sales.
"Our contact centers provide world-class customer service for our clients' most valuable resource – their customers," said Jeff Unterreiner, senior vice president of the Assurant Solutions Extended Protection Solutions business. "Our contact centers have implemented a number of innovative, consumer-focused programs such as the service contract industry's first mobile application and development of customizable, fully featured web solutions for customer self service. Liz and her team certainly deserve recognition for the work they do every day to satisfy our customers."
This is the company's second time as a finalist in the "Innovation in Customer Service" category. The company was awarded a Stevie in 2011 for its patented Real Time Analytics Matching platform technology that made it possible to pinpoint the call center agent best suited to handle an inbound customer's call.
More than 1,100 entries from organizations worldwide were submitted for this year's Stevie Awards, which are recognized as the world's premier business awards for sales, contact center and customer service professionals.
The final results will be announced during a gala banquet on Monday, February 25 at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Finalists from the United States and several other nations are expected to attend.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Dying to Live
The University of Notre Dame presents "Dying to Live: A Migrant's Journey"
Immigration is a complex issue that is changing the face of cultures worldwide. In the United States, it is often a controversial issue with many social, economic, political and even religious implications. In the midst of the debate, what often gets lost are the human issues at stake.
"Dying to Live" is a profound look at the human face of the immigrant. It explores who these people are, why they leave their homes and what they face in their journey. Drawing on the insights of Pulitzer Prize winning photographers, theologians, Church and congressional leaders, activists, musicians and the immigrants themselves, this film exposes the places of conflict, pain and hope along the US-Mexico border. It is a reflection on the human struggle for a more dignified life and the search to find God in the midst of that struggle.

New Year, Same Casual Racism
(This is my second year in a row I have this particular teacher, and the third time in total. I had already left her class once because I couldn't stand her, and I regarded it as a miracle that I remained in her class the second time. This occurs around March, as she calls the roll.)
Teacher: "[Asian Student #1]?"
(This student is absent. She continues on.)
Teacher: "[Asian Student #2]?"
(This student is also absent.)
Teacher: "Hmm. Must be Chinese New Year."
Other Student: "What the h***?"
Teacher: "Oh, come off it."
(Needless to say, I didn't remain in her class again.)

Capturing what matters and measuring what counts: This is a global leadership imperative. And it is the best--if not the only--way to showcase that managing digital globalization and delivering international experiences effectively pay off. It is all about effectiveness and starts with the early steps in the global content value chain. A number of criteria and indicators should be on the radar screen of anyone willing to define, analyze, and leverage effectiveness holistically. Productivity may not always be at the top of the list in terms of localization benefits although it definitely drives time and cost savings, while enabling to better allocate resources and optimize timeframes. It may come up as a secondary factor or be diluted in other prominent indicators such as content accuracy or consistency.

'New normal' keeps wallets closed
Relevant offers
Rebuilding Christchurch
Christchurch shoppers are doing less wining and dining and are in no rush to ramp up discretionary spending, the latest data shows.
The earthquakes have changed lifestyles and this parsimony is the "new normal", analysts say.
It is reflected in the Christchurch retail trade indicator from Statistics New Zealand which showed sluggish retail spending growth in the city in the three months to March 31.
Spending in the quake-hit city's accommodation, bars and restaurants fell 2.8 per cent from the previous quarter. Other retail spending rose 0.7 per cent.
Total retail trade in the city increased just 0.3 per cent in the March quarter, less than the 0.8 per cent increase in the previous three months.
Since the June 2010 quarter, the last three-month period before the first earthquake hit the city, Christchurch's total retailing has risen just 1.3 per cent, well below the national average rise of 7.7 per cent growth.
But that was no surprise because of the earthquakes, analysts said.
The accommodation and food services sector in Christchurch were worst hit, falling 11.3 per cent since the earthquakes began, while other retail trade has risen 3.5 per cent. The accommodation and food services sector accounts for 13 per cent of retailing in the indicator.
But total retail trade activity has been climbing for the past five quarters, albeit slowly.
PricewaterhouseCoopers partner Nathan Wylie said lifestyles had definitely changed. "This is the new normal – these trends that we're getting at the moment are establishing what the baseline will be."

Field Trip on June 4 – Capability Farm
Field Trip, Saturday, June 4, 2016: Capability Farm, Versailles, Indiana
Once a working farm, Capability Farm is now a 400-acre private preserve. The property is located south of Versailles, Indiana off of US 421 and is owned by Bob and Ellen Mulford. Capability Farm was planned and developed with the assistance of the US Conservation Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and Indiana Department of Natural Resources. With a five-acre controllable wetland, several acres of open water, managed grasslands, and upland forests, Capability Farm has a property list of over 200 bird species. A network of trails allows easy access to the varied habitats. Our guide for this visit will be expert naturalist Gary Stegner, who will meet us at the site. We will meet at 6:30 a.m. at the TJ Maxx parking lot (on Locust Street across from McDonald's) for the 90-minute drive to the preserve, returning to Oxford mid- to late-afternoon. Pack a lunch and bring binoculars if possible.
For instructions on meeting a trip at the trip site, or information on last-minute changes, consult the site or send an e-mail to the trip coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Program on May 9 – Birds of Peru
MAY 9- Birds of Peru, Richard Amable, Metro Parks of Butler County, Ohio and the Jacamar Club Peru
Peru's bird diversity is remarkable rivaling that of Colombia and includes 1817 species that range from the high Andes to the Pacific Ocean coast and that are found in one of the World's richest tropical forests and one of its driest desserts. This is a chance to hear Richard share his first-hand knowledge and passion for the natural history of Peru and his love affair with birds.
Richard is the founder and director of the Jacamar Club Peru which offers bird and natural history tours throughout Peru. Richard is an expert birder, bird guide, and conservationist. Richard lives between two worlds spending part of the year in Ohio where he works for Metro Parks of Butler County and the rest of his time in Peru. He serves on the board of the Audubon Society of Ohio. Richard grew up in Puerto Maldonado in southeastern Peru. When in the United States he lives with his wife Jennifer in Mason, Ohio. His curiosity and passion has fed his interest in both research and conservation almost always focused on birds.
Chapter Meetings are held the second Monday of the indicated months in the 2nd floor Community Room, Lebanon Citizens National Bank building, 30 Park Place West at 7:30 PM in uptown Oxford unless otherwise noted (n.b.). All meetings are open to the public.
APRIL 19- It's Raining Neotropical Migrants, Dr. David Russell, Department of Biology, Miami University
Join Dr. David Russell for an evening of entertainment that will give pointers and clues on how to identify the neotropical migrants that are passing through our region in the spring of the year. Dave teaches ornithology at Miami University and established the Hueston Woods State Park bird banding station that draws hundreds of visitors throughout the year. Dave is an unrecovered addict who gets his fix every time he sees a new life bird. Dave has been known to go to extremes to see any new bird that occurs within a 1000 miles of southwest Ohio and even beyond.
This program will take place at the Augspurger House meeting room, Chrisholm MetroPark, 2017 Woodsdale Road, Trenton, Ohio at 7:00 P.M. All meetings are open to the public.
Field Trip, Saturday, April 16, 2016: Hunter/Huffmeier Property
This will be another delightful visit to the rural Indiana property of our hosts, Kathy Hunter and Ron Huffmeier. The land, located just to the west of Brookville Lake, features stunning old-growth forest along with open grassy areas and lovely streams. We are sure to find a nice variety of birds while walking through this attractive setting. Pack a lunch, and we will dine on the deck of Kathy and Ron's home overlooking the woods. We'll leave at 7:30 a.m. from west end of the Wal Mart parking lot (on US 27, north of Oxford) and return to Oxford after lunch.
For instructions on meeting a trip at the trip site, or information on last-minute changes, consult the site or send an e-mail to the trip coordinator at email@example.com.
Messing Around with Birds
Scott Weidensaul, Ornithologist and Author – The Barrows Conservation Lecture Series – Messing Around with Birds (For Fun and Science) Wednesday, May 11 Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, 7:00 PM. This lecture will be held at the Cincinnati Zoo's Frisch Theater in the Harold C, Schott Education Center. Purchase tickets on line at: www.cincinnatizoo.org/events/Barrows.htm
Join naturalist Scott Weidensaul for a lighthearted exploration of his many avian research projects. His work ranges from banding hawks and tiny saw-whet owls to studying migration of western hummingbirds that aren't supposed to be in the East in December (but are), and snowy owls down from the Arctic.
APRIL 11- Let's get fired up, for spring! Mo Henning, a Miami University graduate, is a retired biology teacher, amateur naturalist, and nature photographer.
Enjoy a photographic tour of some of our favorite places and their living fauna and flora. This is a great time to see spring ephemerals, tune up for returning migrants, and see several of the less conspicuous creatures that live in the Ohio Valley. Mo Henning will share with us his nature photography with us as well as where and how to capture outstanding images.
His recognitions include Biology Teacher of the Year in 2003, Sigma Xi Award for promoting student research in 2004 and an Outstanding Educator at Good Samaritan College of Nursing award in 2011. He earned a BA in Zoology and a MS in Secondary Science Education from Miami University. He first fell in love with field work while taking Dendrology from Dr. Hardy Eshbaugh and Vertebrate Zoology from Dr. Paul Daniel. He has been photographing in Greater Cincinnati for over 45 years and presently lives in Wyoming, Ohio. Mo has been a featured Artist at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis, Indiana and has several pieces on display at Good Samaritan College and Wyoming Wines. Wendy Burt, also a retired biology teacher, is Mo's "spotter" and enjoys being in the field searching for potential subjects.
Chapter Meetings are held the second Monday of the indicated months in the 2nd floor Community Room, Lebanon Citizens National Bank building, 30 Park Place West at 7:30 PM in uptown Oxford unless otherwise noted (n.b.). All meetings are open to the public.
Field Trip, Sunday, March 13, 2016: Caesar Creek State Park
Caesar Creek State Park is highlighted by clear blue waters, scattered woodlands, meadows and steep ravines. The 3,741-acre park sits astride the crest of the Cincinnati Arch, a crest in bedrock layers caused by an ancient upheaval. Younger rocks lie both east and west of this crest, where some of the oldest rocks in Ohio are exposed. The park's excellent fossil finds give testimony to the life of this long vanished body of water. The forests of the area are comprised of over 65 species of plants. A northern flood plain forest is found in the valley, while mixed associations of oak-hickory and beech-maple woodlands clothe the ridges and hillsides. A map of the Park can be found at http://parks.ohiodnr.gov/Portals/parks/PDFs/parks/Maps/Caesar_Creek/caesarcreekparkmap.pdf. We'll check out the lake for waterfowl, gulls and waders; and the adjoining wooded and grassy areas for raptors and passerines. Expert naturalist Sam Fitton will lead this outing, which will leave at 7:30 a.m. from the TJ Maxx parking lot (on Locust Street across from McDonald's) and return to Oxford in the afternoon. Pack a lunch and bring binoculars if possible.
For instructions on meeting a trip at the trip site, or information on last-minute changes, consult the site or send an e-mail to the trip coordinator at email@example.com.

Dec 5 Travelers Cos Inc said its preliminary estimate of net losses from superstorm Sandy was about $650 million after tax.
It estimates a gross loss of $1.135 billion excluding expected recoveries from reinsurance, the company said in a statement.
The company also said it intends to resume share buybacks that it had temporarily suspended to assess its exposure to the storm.
Sandy is likely to be the second-costliest disaster in U.S. history, behind only Hurricane Katrina. Industry experts estimate insured losses of as much as $25 billion, excluding claims paid by the federal flood insurance program.
Allstate Corp said last week that it expects to report October disaster losses of $1.08 billion, mostly due to superstorm Sandy.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

A policeman was killed and a further 30 were detained in a joint operation between Afghan troops and U.S. forces last week against police suspected of supporting Taliban insurgents in embattled Helmand province, Afghan officials said Sunday.Sarjang would not elaborate on the reason for the operation, but a senior Afghan army official in Helmand told Reuters that the army and U.S. advisers suspected the police of providing weapons and ammunition to the Taliban and that they had planned an eventual surrender to the insurgents.Almost 100 Afghan army officers were removed or reassigned in Helmand in recent months and the army abandoned its outposts in several of the most hotly contested districts to redeploy elsewhere.

This morning I saw a story on Facebook about Pokemon Go, the latest mobile gaming craze. It goes like this:
I like this version of America better than the one in the news last week. Plus I hear hunting Pokemon is good exercise. I may have to download Pokemon Go and give it a try — if I can manage to log into the game.

If you've never heard of Nathaniel Bettes, read this story about his contributions to the cause of American Revolution. He was a true patriot.
But my favorite anecdote from his life has nothing to do with the sacrifices he made for liberty. Instead, I liked the answer he gave the deacons of his church when they scolded him for hunting on a Sunday, a violation of what many Americans consider the "Christian Sabbath."
This was Bettes' defense:
Surely that is somewhere in the Bible.

The ignorance of the media when it comes to West Virginia never ceases to amaze those of us who are from the Mountain State. We're impressed when journalists, especially those who cover sports, even know that West Virginia and Virginia are separate states or that Charleston is the name of our state capital, not just a coastal city in South Carolina.
This week, two members of the media (broadly speaking to include Hollywood) displayed their ignorance of West Virginia's history on the same day, both of them in reference to the state's birth during the Civil War. The culprits were:
With their commentaries in mind, now is a good time to revisit one of the most interesting statehood stories in American history. Consider this the CliffsNotes version of West Virginia history for the dummies in the media and entertainment complex.
In fairness to Bump, he was technically correct when he said "Congress consented to the creation of West Virginia as a new American state," but he left out important context. The Congress that consented included a reconstituted Virginia delegation with a pro-West Virginia slant. The Virginia that existed before the Civil War joined the Confederacy and had no votes in Congress. Neither did any of the Southern states that presumably would have voted against West Virginia statehood.
The war, in other words, created a political and constitutional mess that tilted the balance of power in favor of West Virginia statehood.
Although ardent abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens, R-Pa., voted to create West Virginia, he thought it was "a mockery" to say that splitting Virginia was constitutional. President Abraham Lincoln also had doubts. He thought the idea was "dreaded as a precedent" but also "made expedient by a war." His answer to charges that the Union in effect endorsed secession in one case while going to war over it in another: In West Virginia's case, it was "secession in favor of the Constitution."
I understand why Bump didn't include all of that information. His story was about the potential legality of secession in America today, and West Virginia's path to statehood was only one aspect of that topic. But his shorthand account of the events could mislead people into thinking West Virginia's secession from Virginia wasn't controversial. It was. The Supreme Court didn't settle the issue until a 6-3 ruling in 1870.
Ross' gaffe was more egregious than Bump's. In trying to dispel one myth that "the South was monolithic" during the Civil War, he repeated another one — that "the State of West Virginia broke off from the State of Virginia because they were not in agreement with the goals of the Confederacy."
That simplistic analysis is similar to arguing that the Civil War was about states' rights instead of slavery, one of the myths that Ross tackled. Southern rebellion was more of an expediency for western Virginians to accomplish a goal they had long desired than it was a rejection of the Confederacy.
This is evident in the number of West Virginians who fought for the Confederacy — 18,000 of them compared with 32,000 for the Union. The one thing that even those who are ignorant of West Virginia associate with the state is the Hatfield-McCoy feud. What many of them don't know, or have forgotten, is that the feud has its roots in the Civil War and that "Devil Anse" Hatfield of West Virginia fought for the Confederacy.
The division of the country over slavery in general, and Virginia's decision to side with the South in particular, just created an atmosphere for a rebellion within the rebellion. West Virginians always were and always will be different from Virginians, and the war gave our ancestors the political clout they needed to create a geographical split that had existed along economical, ancestral and cultural lines for generations. Ross' myth-busting video for The Huffington Post distorted that reality.
The mistakes that Bump and Ross made weren't as superficial as getting the name of West Virginia wrong or forgetting about its capital city. But coming as they did only seven days after West Virginia Day, they were worth noting.
Maybe in the future journalists who care enough to research West Virginia history before they write or talk about it will find this blog post and get some much-needed education.

I was excited this week when Matt Lauer headed to "The Today Show" kitchen for a segment with food critic Katie Lee on West Virginia's state food, the pepperoni roll. The Mountain State rarely gets good press on a national scale, so a plug on a popular morning show couldn't be a bad thing, right?
Then I watched in horror as Lee, a native of Milton, W.Va., proved that she is more foodie than hillbilly. She perverted the perfect simplicity of the pepperoni roll — homemade dough, slices or chunks of pepperoni, cheese and sometimes a little sauce — with a recipe that includes broccoli. Yes, broccoli!
To make culinary matters worse, Lee didn't even craft her concoction into the form of actual rolls. She fashioned something that looked more like a stromboli, cut it into "12 even rounds" and then cooked them in a casserole dish. She served the meal with banana peppers and marinara sauce on the side.
News flash to Billy Joel's ex-wife: That is not how you make pepperoni rolls! You've been living in the big city too long.
I'm not an anti-broccolite like George H.W. Bush, who famously banned them from the White House menu during his presidency. I might even like the recipe that Katie Lee invented. But she needs to pick a better name for it than pepperoni rolls.
The history behind the redneck delicacy exposes the flaws in Lee's recipe. The inventor of the pepperoni roll, Giuseppe (Joseph) Argiro, got the idea from watching his fellow coal miners on their lunch breaks.
"A common lunch for immigrant miners, according to Giuseppe's younger son, Frank Argiro, consisted of 'a slab of bread, a chunk of pepperoni, and a bucket of water.' At some point between 1927 and 1938 — nobody seems to know exactly when — Giuseppe began placing the spicy pepperoni within the bread, and the pepperoni roll was born."
The food came into existence because miners needed something that was meaty enough to get them through the day and practical enough to take into a mine. Lee's version is not the least bit practical.
The State of West Virginia may need to create the mountaineer equivalent of a "man card" for expatriates like Lee just so the card can be revoked for egregious behavior like this:

I knew Lady Gaga had some West Virginia roots — she even gave the state a plug in her song "Born This Way" — but until today I didn't know her Mom was a West Virginia University cheerleader.
That bit of history popped into my Facebook feed yesterday in the form of a picture of Mother Gaga in WVU cheerleading garb, and Lady Gaga herself confirmed it today by sharing the photo on Instagram. The family resemblance is obvious.

Jeb Bush delivered a stern message to Donald Trump at the Republican presidential debate last December: "You're not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency. That's not going to happen." Bush was so certain of the claim that he repeated it later in the debate.
A few weeks later, Sen. Ted Cruz questioned Trump's demeanor for the presidency after Trump aimed a series of Twitter barbs at Cruz. "I think in terms of a commander-in-chief," Cruz said, "we ought to have someone who isn't springing out of bed to tweet in a frantic response to the latest polls."
But if the results of this week's Iowa caucuses are any indication, both Bush and Cruz may be wrong. Even though he finished second to Cruz, Trump won 24 percent of the vote in the first balloting of the 2016 campaign. It sure looks like plenty of Americans are comfortable with the idea of a president who throws rhetorical sticks and stones.
Instead of being "the worst thing that ever happened in Donald Trump's life," Twitter may be his ticket to the White House. It's the perfect platform for calling out all of the "stupidity" he sees in America, whether real or imagined.
Trump's love of all words denigrating is well-documented and predates his presidential campaign. He has been ranting online for years.
But Trump really came into his own boorish self once he launched his bid to become the leader of the free world. The insults have been flowing freely since then — so much so that both The New York Times and The Washington Post have compiled lists of all the people, companies and entire professions he has trashed.
"It's quite a Twitter stream Trump has going there — if you're into gawking at gruesome highway wrecks, that is," technology activist Lauren Weinstein wrote in a blog post suggesting that Twitter should ban Trump. "Onslaughts against individuals. Similar attacks against organizations, even against entire races. White supremacist propaganda. On and on and on. Try retrospectively reading Donald's tweets without feeling the need to vomit — virtually impossible if you're a socialized human being and not someone raised by hyenas."
Trump's crudest attacks trigger feeding frenzies in the press, making his enemies giddy with anticipation of falling poll numbers that never come.
But his rudeness has become so routine that most people don't even pay attention — and when they do it's often to celebrate Trump's willful intolerance of the tolerance police or his willingness to get in the faces of journalists. A large swath of the electorate seems eager to follow any leader with the guts to be politically incorrect, and he is a master at promoting that persona, especially online.
"The relationship between Trump and Twitter is the perfect marriage of man and medium," The Daily Beast concluded. "His terse insults are perfectly suited to the 140-character form and his controversy-a-day campaign feeds off of Twitter's short attention span." CNN media reporter Brian Stelter recognized Trump's Twitter mastery, too: "I can't help but wonder if his Twitter account is more effective at this point than a TV ad."
Trump has been so good at being bad that, win or lose the presidency, he deserves a book to memorialize his infamous nastiness – one that mean-spirited people can turn to for offensive inspiration. I've published that book, including dozens of embedded Trump insults, at Storify.

There are no cougars in Wayne County, W.Va. By official accounts, there are no cougars anywhere in wild, wonderful West Virginia. In fact, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concluded in 2011 that the eastern cougar is no longer endangered because it is extinct.
But for a few days last month, a Prichard, W.Va., man named J.R. Hundley deceived a whole bunch of gullible people on Facebook into thinking he had seen one near his house. "I think he killed my [pit bull]! Something tore him up pretty bad," Hundley wrote Dec. 16.
When asked by Facebook readers, Hundley divulged phony details about the origins of the picture. He implied that he took the photo on "my driveway up the hill to my house" on Lower Gragston Creek Road. When one reader voiced concern about a free-roaming mountain lion killing pets and livestock, Hundley even offered this reassurance about the one he never actually saw: "I was gone, came home and found him. He wasn't mean at all!"
Nearly 1,600 people shared his warning about a puma on the prowl in the hills, and another 600 liked it. You could tell from the comments that locals wanted to believe it was true, if only to justify their unfounded fears that mountain lions are in the area. Some people spread rumors of their own.
"We saw one cross the road in Prichard a few years ago in front of us, but it was black," Carrie Ann Bragg wrote. Kathy Baker Rice shared this tale: "I saw one on Bear Creek a few years ago, just about three miles from Buchanan, Ky., which is across the Big Sandy River from Prichard. Huge."
Cara Nelson-Hall suggested that the mountain lion Hundley imagined was not alone. "They're on Davis branch. We hear them," she said. And Jim Reed cried conspiracy by state game officials. "I bet DNR released him out there, lol," he said half-jokingly. "I would call them and ask them if they did and tell them to pay [you] for your pit bull."
Appalachian Magazine bought into Hundley's story, touting it and other alleged sightings of mountain lions in Appalachia under the headline "Mountain Lion Sighted in West Virginia." Several readers told their own cougar tales in the comments of the magazine's Facebook page and ridiculed the doubters.
"Anyone that thinks there are no panthers in West Virginia is a fool," Opal Marcum said. "They are in Wayne County, Mingo County and Logan County for sure. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't see you."
But discerning readers quickly pegged Hundley as a hoaxer. "Also look out for the notorious Sasquatch," Travis Boone mocked. "He's around too!!"
Some critics assumed that the picture was real and that Hundley edited a mountain lion into it. But as it turns out, the entire photo is real (along with a second one like it). Hundley just didn't take it.
The photos were published on three Facebook pages, Hunting Trophy Trips, Oregon Outdoor Hunters and Oregon Outdoor Council. Oregon State University forestry student Hayden England saw the cougar March 10 while working in the field near Vida, Ore., and the McKenzie River.

HONG KONG Feb 28 Huisheng International Holdings Ltd was set to jump 7.3 percent in its Hong Kong trading debut on Friday after retail investors flocked to the bite-sized IPO to bet on rising demand for meat products in China.
Huisheng was indicated to open at HK$2.20 compared with an initial public offering price of HK$2.05 per share. The IPO, which raised $31.7 million, priced at the top of a HK$1.45-HK$2.05 per share marketing range.
Robust demand for Huisheng shares bodes well for industry giant WH Group, formerly known as Shuanghui International Holding, which is slated for an up to $6 billion Hong Kong listing in April.
The retail portion for Huisheng's deal generated 2,188 times more orders than the shares on offer, the second-highest ever level of oversubscription in the city after night club operator Magnum Entertainment Group Holdings Ltd's listing in January.
The benchmark Hang Seng index was indicated to start 0.5 percent higher. (Reporting by Elzio Barreto; Editing by Edwina Gibbs)
