Today I'm very pleased to introduce my first guest blogger, Colin Ashurst from the Durham Business School in this the first of a series he will be posting on officerocker. I've known Colin for many years and I'm looking forward to working with him over the next few months. I'll let him introduce himself:
Over the last 25 years I have had a lot of fun working at a range of organisations. First of all I qualified as a Chartered Accountant, then I moved into consulting with what is now PwC. Other roles included a number of years at Asda as part of the senior IT management team and 5 years at Microsoft as a Strategy Consultant. I'm now at Durham Business School teaching, researching, and learning in the real world as CIO for the School. My passion in all this is helping individuals and organisations realise the potential of Information Systems – for me that's about people and skills, as well as business innovation and transformation.
Improving the Effectiveness of Knowledge Work
Is there a problem?
It was about three years after I started work that I remember the first PC's. Do you remember all those strings of commands to get a Lotus 123 spreadsheet to print? It was a number of years before I had my own PC and then later my own laptop at work. I wonder what we used to do all day? Now, most of us spend a large part of each day using a laptop or a desktop PC. I probably spend 25-30 hours a week using a PC. I know that isn't unusual.
What do we do during all those hours each week using the PC? Most of us use Outlook for email and spend a lot of time using Word, PowerPoint and Excel; I also use Visio, Project, Groove and SharePoint as well as Internet Explorer. I have constant access to the Internet. I don't use any 'line of business' applications, but to support my teaching and research I do make a lot of use of the Internet to access electronic libraries. These are the tools of my trade as a 'knowledge worker'.
In an important sense we are all information or knowledge workers now. This PC and Internet technology has changed how we work dramatically. I happen to be writing this at home, but I'm keeping in touch with work using Outlook Web Access. We are much more effective in many ways than we were before the PC. I think of my first week working at Microsoft, my line manager was able to follow up an email request from me and we had approval from the Director of our business group in Australia and the co-coordinating manager in Redmond within 24hours. At quite a different level, I've noticed the impact of PowerPoint 2007 on my presentations. I need to use slides a lot in presentations and teaching – I like to try and use diagrams not just endless bullet points. The new SmartArt feature can probably save me 30 minutes or more a slide in preparation time and I was very competent with PowerPoint anyway. And it also has an impact on quality – its challenging me to think in a different way about communication.
Peter Drucker argued strongly that improving the effectiveness of knowledge work is the greatest challenge for managers in the 21st century. He stressed that there is a need and an opportunity for the same sort of huge improvement that there was in the effectiveness of manufacturing in the 20th century. Have we met this challenge already with all these new tools?
No way! There have been enormous changes and improvements, but there is a huge amount more we can do to take advantage of the powerful tools we already have available to us. Also, the pace of innovation is accelerating – so there are many more opportunities to come.
Organizations have barely begun to tackle the challenge of improving the effectiveness of knowledge work. Some provide up to date PCs and the latest software, many do not. Very few (I haven't found one yet and have tried hard), provide adequate support and advice for users to realize the potential of all these powerful tools. Most of us, spending most of the working week using these tools, only know a fraction of their capabilities that would be valuable to us. The evidence from Microsoft that 80% of new features requested for Office are already in the product supports this. The IT function of an organization is usually happy as long as the technology works, the Human Resources function may pay for some formal training. But no one really tackles how individuals, teams and departments can exploit the full potential of these tools to improve the effectiveness of information and knowledge workers.
In this brief note I've started to explore the problem. I hope to come back to this topic and start to explore different aspects of the solution. We are actively researching this area and we are also 'eating our own dogfood' as we try to Work Smarter at the Business School. We are very keen to work with other individuals and organizations who share our passion and determination to improve the effectiveness of knowledge work

Our lives are a series of changing times and seasons. Time itself is a succession of changing moments. We don't like change--especially when it affects our comfort zones! Our perspective on change has a lot to do with how we interpret our circumstances.
In this famous passage in Ecclesiastes 3, there are vital life lessons to learn when it comes to finding satisfaction in life--regardless of whether our good times outnumber our bad times or vice versa. One of these is this: If the Infinite is not enough to satisfy you, then nothing finite ever will. In tonight's message to our congregation, our pastor challenges us with this end of the year message from God's Word.
In this message Mike challenges the congregation to find their satisfaction in life from their Creator rather than looking for it elsewhere. He also explains how Solomon presents "goads" and "nails" to drive this truth home.

State police continue to investigate a shooting involving a police officer in Magoffin county. They say the officer had no choice but to fire during an altercation with Vietnam veteran Carter Castle as police tried to serve a warrant at his Gunlock home on Sunday. Friends say even though the war was long ago, Castle lived with its haunting memories every day and that he had recently stopped taking medicine he had been prescribed. Those close to him also say they will remember the good times lived—rather than the tragic circumstances of how he died.
A 22 year old man has been arrested after he allegedly snatched a woman's purse and then tried to swim to get away. A police officer says he watched Skyler Kinney grab the woman's purse outside a store in prestonsburg on Friday and when the officer started to chase him, Kinney jumped into nearby Levisa Fork. He didn't get far—police were waiting on the other side. Kinney is facing theft and evading charges.
A Middlesboro man is in jail after he allegedly led police on a foot chase after they tried to arrest him on Saturday night. Officials when the caught up with say 38 year old Jason Schooler on Highway 441 was carrying three and half grams of the drug that he planned to sell. The meth is now evidence and Schooler is now facing wanton endangerment charges.
A class action lawsuit against the owner of a Wise County coal mine has been settled. Reports say Nine Mile Mining has agreed to pay the 6 former employees a total of 745 thousand dollars for alleged violations of the federal WARN act. An attorney for the workers says it is a fair outcome for his clients, who filed that suit about a year ago. A final hearing on that proposed settlement will be held February 23 in Federal court.
A teenager from Pike County is recovering in center after a serious accident left his pickup truck in the Raccoon Creek. Police say Patrick Sanders lost control of the truck while rounding a curve. Sanders got a bedside visit at Pikeville Medical Center from his Pike Central High school football coach on Monday, who says the teenager is doing well. Coach Shawn Thaker says sanders biggest concern is getting back onto the field.
Two eastern Kentucky judges are hoping to move up in the ranks to the state supreme court. Letcher county Circuit Court Judge Sam wright and Appeals Court Judge Janet Stumbo of Prestonsburg will face off on the non partisan ballot. The winner would replace Judge Will T Scott, who has stepped down to run for governor. Both Wright and stumbo say they have years of experience on the bench that would serve them well on the states highest court. Governor Steve Beashear has yet to appoint a replacement to serve until that election.
A two vehicle crash had parts of highway 15 closed in Perry county for a time yesterday. That accident, happened in the Bonnyman community. Meanwhile A travel alert if you are heading to I-75 and Cincinnati today. That major road is CLOSED after a bridge overpass collapsed there, killing one person.

It's about as cold as it gets today with highs barely out of the teens with viscous winds. Schools—including in Letcher are closed today. Police say slippery roads contributed to a minor accident involving a Letcher County school bus on Wednesday afternoon and that the accident actually in the community named Ice on Highway 588 wasn't serious, and fortunately, the driver was able to finish his run safely. Authorities say drivers should use extra caution today.
This kind of cold can affect your water pipes. One tip from plumber Patrick Goodin of Hazard says to leave just a bit of water running. Another is to make sure the pipes don't get cold in the first place by keeping them well insulated.
Police in the state capitol say State Senator Brandon Smith has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. According to Frankfort police, Smith was stopped for speeding on Tuesday night and then charged with D U I after indications he was under the influence. He reportedly refused a Breathalyzer test. So far the senator has had no comment except to say through his lawyer that he will NOT resign. His 30tn district covers Bell, Breathitt, Johnson, Leslie, Magoffin and Perry counties.
The timing isn't good, but for the moment, a dispute in Magoffin County is keeping road workers off the job. Judge-Executive Charles Hardin says because magistrates refused to accept some nominations he made for those jobs, so for the next two weeks none of the employees will be working. He says if there is a serious problem, he will issue an emergency order, but short of that, road work in the county will remain undone.
A longtime educator from Hazard has died. John Quillen was a teacher, principal and assistant coach at the school in the 60's and 70's. He also played for the team in the early 50's and played in college for Virginia Tech. John Quillen was 79. His death comes just three weeks after the death of his friend and fellow coach Roscoe Shackeleford.

Kentucky State Police are investigating a fatal accident over the weekend in Letcher county. They they don't know why 47 year old Connie Meade was lying in the middle of KY 7 in the Colson community before she was struck and killed Saturday night. Investigators don't think the driver was to blame and don't suspect foul play.
Authorities have made an arrest in connection that killed four people back in August in Breathitt county. 19 year old Shawn Hardin was picked up last night and is now facing murder charges because police say he was drunk and behind the wheel at the time of that crash on highway 31-93 in the Wolverine community. Family members say last week's indictment of Hardin won't bring anyone back, but will ensure that justice will be done in the tragic case.
Some local businesses say that Kentucky Blue and Louisville Red make lots of green. The two teams big basketball game this weekend meant extra crowds at local bars and shops that sell team gear. In case you missed it, the Wildcats beat the Cardinals in one of college basketball's fiercest rivalry games on Saturday—keeping U -K unbeaten and number one in the country.
And this is a big time of year for some other local business. Gyms and fitness centers in the area say New Year's fitness resolutions bring in new members. The Letcher County Recreation Center in Whitesburg says this is actually the busiest time of the year and they count on new sign ups to help them through the leaner months of summer when fewer people decide to start getting back in shape.
A fire in Jackson County has destroyed a mobile home. That big blaze broke out around 8;30 Saturday night on Zekes Point Road and the chief of the Pond Creek Fire department says it was roaring when his crews got to the scene. Chief Larry Bowling says there wasn't really anything they could do to save the home. He also says there were challenges because the trucks had a tough time making it up the steep gravel driveway which added to the difficulty getting water on the blaze. The family that lived there was out shopping and are staying with family for now.
A Golden Alert has been issued for a man missing in Laurel County. Kenneth Greene hasn't been heard from since he called home from a London gas station to say he was almost out of gas. Authorities are concerned because of Smith's mental illness. They are asking the public to help locate his 1999 Olds 88 with Tennessee plates. [R72-41E]
A Floyd County construction contractor has his excavator back. Officials say they arrested one person in connection with that theft last week in Prestonsbug. The owner of Ousley Concrete construction is glad to have it back because without a vital piece of equipment, his crews would have been forced to look for other ways to get their jobs done. No word yet from Kentucky State police about who took the excavator—or why.
A ministry in Harlan county is gearing up to serve meals to the needy. The Club 180 ministry in Cumberland is planning to serve hot meals three days a week in January and February to help people get though the chill of winter. The free meals will be on the table at the ministry Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays between 3 and 6 beginning January 5th.
Traffic related deaths are falling across the state and area police say they notice the trend as well. One reason—milder weather this fall which has led to fewer accident. Hazard Police officer Dough Ashley says bad weather means more bad accidents as drivers fail to adjust to the more challenging highway conditions. He also says the continued crackdown on drunk drivers is paying off with fewer impaired motorists behind the wheel. So far, the state has seen 121 fewer highway deaths than in all of 2010.

A Pike County theater was among a select few nationwide showing the controversial movie "The Interview" on Christmas day. The Riverfill Cinemas in Pikeville was one of only 200 theaters around the country to show the film about a fictional attempt to assassinate the leader of North Korea, Kin Jong Un. Sony Entertainment at first pulled the movie after its computers were hacked and it received threats. There have been no reported problems anywhere the movie has been seen.
A story about a dog, trapped and feared gone forever deep in a Letcher county cave has a happy ending. Earlier this week, you might remember hearing about that dog, and how rescuers said it was too dangerous for them to go into the coal break on Black mountain where the she was. Kentucky Regional animal shelter heard about it too and put out the word for help. Professional cave divers from as far as Missouri answered and after 12 hours Christmas Eve and Christmas day, they found the dog, named Jane. Her owner Lonnie Lewis says its the best Christmas gift he has ever gotten. As for Jane, she is fine, none the worse for her underground adventure.
Big plans are in the works for a major tourist attraction in Harlan county . The Black Mountain off road adventure area is adding 12 hundred acres of trails in 2015 n the north side of the mountain off US 119 near Putney which will run through land reclaimed from surface mining. County officials say its will be a big boost to the area, drawing lots of outdoor enthusiasts and ATV riders.
A businessman in Floyd county is offering a thousand dollar reward for information about a stolen excavator. Someone stole the equipment belonging to concrete construction company owner Jim Ousley from a parking lot in Prestonsburg last Friday. State police are handling the investigation [POLICE: 606-433-7711; EXCAVATOR: Serial WL000389]
Authorities say a man wanted for murder in West Virginia may be on the run in Pike County. The victim was found on Monday in Mingo County and his truck was reported stolen. Now, police say that red Ford Ranger with West Virginia tags was spotted in the Stopover community and they hope the public can provide tips to help find a killer. [POLICE: 304-235-6000; VEHICLE: WV Tag 4TK-331]
A family from Wooton, in Leslie County are thankful for their own Christmas miracle. No one was hurt on Wednesday afternoon when high winds roared through the mountains and blew their home on old highway 80 off its foundation. One person was home when the storm cam through, but was pulled out by a family member who raced to the scene. As bad at it was, the family says it could have been far worse.
A Perry County community center felt a lot like home for a lot of people on Christmas. Volunteers at the Hubb Center opened the center for a pay what you can Christmas dinner for needy families. They say too often people in need get a cold shoulder instead of a warm meal. Some of the volunteers say they know what it's like to be down and out and want to give back to the community that once helped the. The Hubb center isn't done dishing out support—they plan to offer pay what you can pay what you can dinners daily between 3 and 7, starting next month.

A missing man from Laurel county has been found. 71 year old Michael Salisbury of London had been the subject of an Golden Alert since Friday after he went missing following an argument with his wife. Deputies say Salisbury was found driving in the county and is safe.
Family, friends and fellow deputies in pike county are mourning the loss of one of their own. Deputy Robert Marble died of an apparent heart attack last week and those who knew him are recalling a good man, who died far to young. Deputy Marble was 42.
It's Christmas week, and you don't have to look far to see folks getting into the real spirit of the season. In Hazard over the weekend, some musicians used their gift for song to provide gifts to children. They put on a concert to benefit Buckhorn High school's backpack program, which fills backpacks with food to take home during the holiday break. The event was organized by two students and featured a Buckhorn graduate, Nashville recording artist Timothy Baker.
And members of the Journey Christian Church in Hazard set out a table for people who might otherwise have a Christmas meal. Pastor Ben Fugate says while the idea is grounded in Christian compassion, the message of helping others in need is universal. He says he hopes this becomes an annual event in the community.
A young boy from Harlan has something he will never forget from a world famous musician. 9 year old Grahame Miracle had a front row seat for a concert—his first concert—for by the group Trans Siberian Orchestra in Lexington. He was so close, his dancing to the music caught the eye of the band's violin player Roddy Chong, who handed Grahame a signed bow—and even met with him and his mom after the show. Chong even mentioned the encounter on his Facebook page and says it inspired him. Grahame was adopted from china and is facing bone graft surgery for a cleft palate.
Police in Hazard say they three people have been arrested and are charged with stealing tires and car parts from several vehicles. They say a tip led them to the suspects and most of the stolen wheels have been recovered. The string of thefts began earlier this month from area dealers and at least one pickup was reported taken as well. The owner of the truck now has it back—minus the wheels-- and while she says it's good news, its also discouraging to think about somebody stealing something she worked hard for.
A vacant elementary school in Hazard now has a date with the wrecking ball. Officials say the Dennis C Wooten School in Airport Gardens will come down starting in February. Residents in the area were anxious to get the project started because vandals have been slowly trashing the school since it closed at the end of the 2013 school year. And while some people are sad to see the building come down, they say the school served the community well since it was built in 1962 and that the memories from there will last far longer than its walls.
A holiday tradition in Floyd county is helping people—and also helping a daughter get through a difficult time. Every year, Marlow Tackett held a big Christmas party for needy children. He died earlier this year, but on her first Christmas without him, Marlow's daughter, Wendy decided to honor him by continuing the party. Local residents say they're grateful and say without the help, Christmas might have been a bleak one this year.

November 2006
Questions and suggestions from the staff to management may be submitted in confidence to the Delphi Coordinator. They should be submitted in written form, preferably via interoffice mail in a sealed envelope marked confidential. They must be signed. Detailed procedures for submitting questions are given in the UCAR Policies and Procedures Manual, section 4-1-2, and on the Delphi Web site. Staff Notes Monthly publishes questions and answers of general interest to staff, and the Delphi Web site has a log of all questions submitted since 1995.
Delphi Question: Webhire formatting issues
Delphi Question #563 (received October 19): I have a Delphi question regarding the UCAR Webhire Web site. Applicants are asked to paste their resumes into the box provided on the site. The formatting is completely lost as far as they can see, but they are reassured by a statement on the site that the formatting will be preserved when it is received by Human Resources and that Webhire is working to correct the resume preview feature. I've recently learned from people in the know that this is untrue. Applicants' resumes are coming across as unformatted text. In cases where column formatting or tables have been used, it may be very difficult for the hiring manager to read. This seems unfair to the applicants. At the very least, they should be told the truth, i.e., that formatting will NOT be preserved. A better solution would be to change the site so that applicants can upload documents in MS Word or at least PDF formatting. This is routinely done, for example, by authors submitting documents to scientific journals.
Response (received November 3): UCAR Human Resources also wants software that serves the applicant and the hiring supervisors in the best possible manner. We have communicated concerns with our vendor, Webhire, on a regular basis, and they have implemented some helpful changes for their many customers. Yet we regret that some problems remain.
Webhire does include a feature where applicants can preview their resumes. Unfortunately, in some cases the resume formatting appears garbled on the applicant's end. Webhire's tech support tells us that the resume preview feature cannot be removed from their software; therefore, UCAR opted to utilize verbiage in our application instructions to reassure applicants that their resume text is readable on our end. In fact, the formatting in the great majority of resumes is clear and readable and the original formatting is preserved. If we receive resume text that is not readable, HR contacts the applicant to obtain another resume.
Because of your Delphi question, we have added the following language to the Webhire instruction page:
"For best results in submitting your materials, please avoid the use of charts and tables as the Webhire software product does not always preserve this type of formatting."
Lastly, you might be interested to know that a Finance and Administration re-engineering committee on our employment process is recommending that UCAR solicit bids for applicant tracking software with the possibility of replacing the Webhire product. Ultimately, UCAR Human Resources seeks to have the best possible cost-
effective product. We will look closely
at just the type of issue you raised.

Unlock the Riches of Scripture
How I Discover Meaning in the Bible

Food Network to feature Argyll's corned beef hash on Unique Eats
Lori Midson
Just heard from Robert Thompson, owner of Argyll, the Cherry Creek gastropub that snapped up our Best of Denver 2010 Best New Restaurant award, that he got a call from the brass at the Food Network, who's sending a film crew to Denver in August or September to shoot the pub's corned beef hash, which we waxed ecstatic about in our 100 Favorite Dishes roundup.
The hash, which will be featured as part of a segment on the country's best brunches, will air on Unique Eats, and according to Thompson, the timing couldn't be better. "We have a new summer brunch menu coming out this weekend with beignet French toast, confit chicken pot pie Benedict and new pancakes."
That's our kind of morning fuel.

Original Fudge Kitchen
I refuse to eat any other fudge--seriously. Since my teens, my friends have learned the magical number, 1-800-23-FUDGE, that brings this amazing confection to your door. One taste, and they too are hooked. You can't order less than two pounds at a time for shipping, but fear not: put some in the freezer and enjoy it later. I immediately freeze most of it whenever I'm lucky enough to receive some. The fudge is made with heavy cream, making it rich and decadent. I prefer straight-up chocolate fudge, but my family loves the more daring flavors like maple walnut and black forest.

This is a fast LAN problem - real internet latencies don't allow for the wrapping of the id field that fast.What is a "fast" LAN these days? We were seeing IP ID wrap with NFS traffic back in the time of HP-UX 8.07 (early 1990's) over 10 Mbit/s Ethernet. Since I'm waxing historic, part of the problem at that time was giving the IP fragments to the driver one at a time rather than all at once. When the system was as fast or faster than the network, and the driver queue filled, the first couple fragments of a datagram would get into the queue, and the rest would be dropped, setting the stage for those wonderful Frankengrams. Part of the fix was to require a driver to take an entire IP datagram's worth of fragments or none of them.
Yes, a different manifestation of the problem ;). I was talking in the context of current Linux code and the common ethernet drivers and typical current Internet/Intranet latencies.
And there was at least one CKO NIC from that era (the HP-PB FDDI NIC) where the first IP datagram fragment was sent last :)If the WAN connected system is (still?) using a global IP ID rather than per-route, it could quite easily be wrapping. And we have WAN links with bandwidths of 10's of Megabits, so it also comes-down to how much other traffic is going and the quantity of request parallelism in NFS right?
Actually, the problem is much worse now - we have virtual partitions in the Xen environment for instance where some packets are headed for local consumption (virtual network, no actual network latency to speak of) and some going out to the network. Having a global IP id generator just won't be able to keep up - we could wrap in submilliseconds...
The larger NFS UDP mount sizes mean more fragments, but intriguingly, they also mean slower wrap of the IP ID space :)
True, but in a 32 NIC environment, see how they wrap ;)... thanks, Nivedita

For many years the Home's Farm provided eggs, meat and produce to homes and merchants throughout Central Georgia, as well as a place for thousands of children to call "home." More than one hundred years later, that Home is still dedicated to serving abused, abandoned, and neglected children and adolescents. The problems children face have become more complicated, but Rev. Mumford's vision is evolving to meet those challenges. The Home today provides a safe and nurturing environment for children with no other place to go, while giving them the opportunities to learn skills that allow them to become productive Georgia citizens. The Home works on three different levels; Therapeutic Foster Care, Long Term Residential Treatment and Immediate Care for children in crisis. Staff members work to develop children spiritually, emotionally, physically and educationally and also strive to create a homelike atmosphere for children who have suffered from serious abuse and who are emotionally disturbed. http://www.twincedars.org/programs/gich.php

Negotiations between Army and Georgia Southern coach Jeff Monken remained unfinished Monday.
CBSSports.com cited a source close to Monken that the Eagles' fourth-year coach continued to weigh his options.
The Web site also cited a source saying as of Monday morning that interviews weren't finished.
The Times Herald-Record, of Middletown, N.Y., reported that Monken had been offered the job but had not accepted the position.
Georgia Southern athletic director Tom Kleinlein issued a statement through the Eagles sports information department that there were no new developments between Monken and Army and that Monken was still Georgia Southern's coach.
Phone calls to Monken and Kleinlein were not returned Monday afternoon.
Monken, 46, has accumulated a 38-16 mark in four years, including three appearances in the Football Championship Subdivision semifinals. He directed one of college football's biggest upsets of 2013, when the Eagles knocked off Florida, 26-20, on Nov. 23.
This season, the Eagles weren't eligible to appear in the playoffs because they were making the transition into the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Monken has experience coaching in the military setting. He was an assistant under coach Paul Johnson for six years at Navy before following Johnson to Georgia Tech.
Monken took over as coach at Georgia Southern in 2010 after Chris Hatcher was fired following the 2009 season.
He returned the triple option offense to Statesboro and turned a program that had slipped to 21-23 from 2006 to 2009 (5-6 in 2009) to 10-5 in 2010.
Monken was named the Southern Conference Coach of the Year in 2011 after the Eagles won the league's regular season championship.
He was also an assistant under Johnson from 1997-2001, when the Eagles won FCS titles in 1999 and 2000.

ABOARD USS SACRAMENTO, At Sea (NNS) -- Commander, Naval Safety Center recently announced USS Sacramento (AOE 1) as the 2002 Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Safety Award winner, in the auxiliary-class ship category.
Though this is Sacramento's 1st SECNAV safety award, safety aboard the "Golden Bear" is nothing new. Prior to earning the SECNAV award, the ship received their 5th consecutive Chief of Naval Operations Type Commander safety award.
"For the crew to be rewarded with the recognition of the best in the Navy," said Sacramento Commanding Officer, Capt. Mike Manazir, "that's huge."
The awards are presented annually to Navy and Marine Corps activities and fleet operational support units based on outstanding contributions to fleet readiness, increased morale and efficient, economical use of resources through safety. These factors directly contribute to the overall quality of their safety programs.
"Although competition was tight, the embodiment of safety in the daily lives of these crews set these ships ahead of the rest," said Vice Adm. Timothy Lafleur, Commander Naval Surface Forces.
"Safety is everyone's responsibility," said Lt.j.g. Sophie Colston, Sacramento safety officer. "We stress how important every person's role is in maintaining a safe working environment - no matter what they are doing."
With the Golden Bear constantly conducting underway replenishments, helicopter operations and ordnance handling, dangerous situations arise daily. The Sacramento's "safety program takes measures to promote awareness in all matters concerning occupational safety and health," said Colston.
The ship has implemented operational risk management (ORM) up and down the chain of command, ensuring the entire crew thinks about safety every day, before every task.
"(Safety) policy and expectations are communicated from the top and diffused throughout all the divisions," said Colston. "Feedback works in every direction and is a great way to monitor the effectiveness of training and communication."
ORM is a decision-making tool used to increase operational effectiveness by anticipating hazards and reducing the potential for loss, directly contributing to the ship's "ready for service" motto.
"Safety's not the word; it's the end product of an ORM-based system that works," said Manazir. "(Operational risk management) concepts have reduced the number of safety related mishaps throughout the Navy. I think it's important that continues."
The Golden Bears constantly strive toward a safe working environment by conducting a safety stand down every quarter. Safety is emphasized then reemphasized. The crew does nothing but concentrate on safety topics.
We're not totally risk-free," said Manazir. "It would be easy to sit back, say we won this award and we're completely safe, but the hazards don't go away."
Since getting underway in January, Sacramento has tucked about 100 underway replenishments and numerous hours of flight operations under its safety belt. With every passing day, more and more hazards stack up, but given its track record, the Sacramento team will continue to safely knock them down.

See the Globe Roundtable archive
The full transcript of the roundtable appears below
Hello, I'm John Geiger, Editorial Board Editor of the Globe and Mail. I'm sitting in today for the Globe's Editor in Chief, John Stackhouse.
Welcome to the Globe Roundtable, a political panel that often leaves recordings of its off the cuff ruminations in a newsroom just like Lisa Raitt's aide did, the panel does it on a weekly basis. We'll be talking about what has been dubbed rather unfortunately Raitt-gage, the secret documents left by now former aide to the Natural Resources Minister in the CTV newsroom, and a tape that was abandoned in the newsroom of the Chronicle Herald. Both of which have resulted in Opposition howls for Ms. Raitt's head.
Then there's the foul mouthed off-hand remarks by Transport Minister John Baird about Toronto made, of all places, in the media rooms of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities convention which was being held in Whistler.
We'll also be discuss the government's handling of a damning decision by a federal court judge in the case of exiled Canadian, Abousfian Abdelrazik, Mr. Justice Russell Zinn ordered the government to stop thwarting Mr. Abdelrazik's constitutional right to come home. He concluded that ministers, bureaucrats and Canada security agencies had trampled on Mr. Abdelrazik's constitutional rights, schemed to find ways to deny him a passport, travel documents, and also that CSIS agents were complicit in getting him imprisoned in Sudan in the first place.
The judge ordered Abdelrazik flown home immediately but five days have passed and we still have no response from the government, which is we are told, studying a decision. What is possibly in it for the government to drag out this affair?
To discuss these subjects I am joined today by our Globe Roundtable regulars, Jodi White the former Chief of Staff to Joe Clarke and Kim Campbell and Past President of the Public Policy Forum.
John Manley, Senior Counsel for the law firm of McCarthy Tetrault, Canada's former Minister of Industry, Finance, Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister who also chaired a Cabinet committee on Public Security and Anti-terrorism after 9\11.
Finally, we're joined by Doug McArthur, distinguished Fellow in Public Policy at Simon Fraser University, former Cabinet Minister in Saskatchewan and a Deputy Minister to two Premiers of British Columbia.
Welcome everyone, good morning.
Jodi I'd like to start with you. You've worked in political officers, what do you make of what's been called Raitt-gate? Is this suggestive of something fundamentally wrong with the current government? Or are those problems involving Ms. Raitt simply innocent errors by a now former aide that have been blown up in both media reports and by the Opposition which seems to want to have Ms. Raitt fired?
Well, what I find really disturbing about this whole story is the fact that the real story is the state of Chalk River and the isotope issue. And we're just way off it on all of the other things that we're into. I mean, we have sort of astonishing and that one is by a political staffer which you know you just can't even talk about. It's just so … so many blunders so quickly.
You know, some would say maybe this is exactly why in fact the Prime Minister held such tight control over all of his ministers etc. I mean there were a lot of blunders here, but I do think the real story is Chalk River and what's happened over the last really two years in terms of the firing of the Nuclear Safety Commissioner a couple of years ago. And what the government's doing and we're way off that story now. It is hopelessly dispiriting.
I don't think the Minister should have resigned, I think, she should have apologized though and we still haven't had that. These things do happen and they're awful when they do happen with staffers. But we're at the … you know, June is always a month of total fatigue in Ottawa, they're coming to the finish line to get out and have a summer off.
But there's a story here and the story is Canada's international reputation and our domestic management of our nuclear industry and where we see ourselves in the world in that industry.
Okay John, you know I certainly take that point that Jodie's made but do you think there are serious issues raised from these cases? I mean I have this memory and perhaps it's just looking at history through rose-coloured glasses, but a memory that there was a time when ministers were accountable even for actions by subordinates that they were unaware of. But that people did resign from government when problems, serious problems, developed in their department.
Do you think that the ministers in question and mainly Ms. Raitt - I'm also referring to Mr. Baird, but Ms. Raitt is really the flashpoint here - should be held to account in the way that Maxime Bernier was in fact?Report Typo/Error

It's about noon here and we've had such a relaxing day. Some people in the group had massages, mud wraps or mud facials at the hotel spa, some went to the pool and others went to the Dead Sea.
I went to the Dead Sea and realized it is the perfect body of water for me. There are no creatures! I loved it. I could swim, well float, without being freaked out the whole time I was in the water. It was also incredibly relaxing. It feels sort of weird floating there. It's really hard to put your legs down to stand. The water also makes your skin feel amazing and silky. I exfoliated with the salty sand and now my skin feels great.
This afternoon we are going to Massada, a fortress built by Herod on the eastern edge of the Judean desert. We will take a cable car and have a great view. We're also having dinner with in a Bedouin village. The Bedouins are a group of nomadic people. To be honest, I'm a little nervous about this dinner. This is the first time I've been freaked out about food here. I just have no idea what to expect. What do nomads eat?
We'll end our day with a nice, relaxing camel ride. By nice and relaxing I mean anxiety provoking and scary.
I can't wait to read your comments tomorrow about your dinner with the Bedouins (it will probably be delicious) and your camel ride!! Have fun!
I, too, can't wait to read your comments tomorrow.
Hope all went well. jk
Glad it's going well, hurry home we miss you and travel home safely. km

In 1998 I was planning to go travelling in South America so decided to learn some Spanish. I started with All Audio Spanish, which gave me a good introduction to the language, though I found it quite frustrating searching through the tapes for particular sections. Other textbooks I've used include Sueños World Spanish, Colloquial Spanish, Madrigals Magic Key to Spanish and Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish.
I can now understand, speak, read and write Spanish to some extent and have a few Spanish-speaking friends with whom I could practice the language if I wanted.
At the moment I'm reading some Spanish short stories in a bilingual (Spanish/English) format. These are helping me to increase my vocabulary and improve my grammar. They are also providing an introduction to the work of a number of Spanish and Latin American authors. I also listen to Spanish language radio regulary and can understand quite a lot.
In November 2005 I spent a couple of weeks exploring Aztec and Mayan sites in Mexico and Guatemala with Explore Worldwide, a company that specialises in small group adventure holidays. There are some photos of this trip in my photo album.

Learning cafes: Free study sessions in June and July
Thinking about your future? Want to get into studying or work? Joining a free Birkbeck 'learning cafe' could help.
Birkbeck, University of London, is running Learning Cafes – a five-week course of free study sessions – starting in June at New City Road Primary School, Plaistow; Rebecca Cheetham Nursery and Children's Centre, Stratford; and Morningside Children's Centre, in Chatham Place, Hackney.
The Cafes are friendly spaces where you can try out different subjects to help you find out what really interests you. You can also think about some of the questions which might have stopped you from taking steps into learning – and have a free coffee!
The sessions include looking at how a higher education qualification can help people find a way into their chosen career, as well as an opportunity to find out about the new funding system and how to finance further study. There will also be a campus visit, and a session on helping participants identify the skills they have that they can use in HE, and what they can do to be ready to start studying.
Each session is one hour, one day a week, for five weeks and no specific qualifications are needed. Everyone is welcome - free childcare is provided while adults are at the Learning Cafe.
To find out more, or to book a place, contact Chris Thompson on 020 7631 6666 or firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.bbk.ac.uk/tryit .

Daily Wrap-up: Round 3, Farmers Insurance OpenJanuary 28, 2012
Staff and wire reports
LA JOLLA, Calif. -- Hang gliders were taking off from the cliffs behind the 13th tee at Torrey Pines where Kyle Stanley was waiting to tee off on the 524-yard hole. Then, the 24-year-old launched a shot that was just as majestic.
"Wait `til to you see where this one went," caddie Brett Waldman said.
On another clear day along the Pacific coast, it was hard not to notice.
In a familiar performance -- even if the name might not be all that familiar now -- Stanley overpowered the South Course on Saturday on his way to a 4-under 68 that gave him a five-shot lead going into the final round at the Farmers Insurance Open.
"For some reason, I've always been long," said Stanley, who has a slight but athletic build and generates enormous speed. "But if you take a golf course like this where you're hitting 7-irons into par 5s and short irons into long par 4s, it definitely helps."
It never hurt Tiger Woods, a seven-time winner as a pro at Torrey Pines.
Stanley chose to lay up on the par-5 18th with the large pond in front, and spun a wedge near the hole to about 4 feet. About his only regret in the third round was missing that putt. One last birdie would have broken the 54-hole tournament record that Woods set in 1998, before Rees Jones beefed up the South Course to 7,698 yards for the 2008 U.S. Open.
Stanley grew up outside Seattle when Woods ruled the sport. All through his school, he kept a poster of Woods over his bed.
"I think he's definitely influenced me, and a lot of other people, too," Stanley said.
He gladly settled for a spot alongside Woods in the record book at 18-under 198, and a five-shot lead over John Huh and John Rollins as he goes after his first PGA TOUR title.
Stanley can't recall ever having a lead this large, which can be troublesome if looked upon as only an opportunity to fail.

"I think the biggest thing is you can't necessarily go out there and try to protect it," Stanley said. "You've got to really just keep doing what got you to this point. I'm not going to be any more conservative tomorrow. I'll stick to my game plan off the tee, and hopefully just continue to give myself a lot of chances."
He hit driver on all but three holes, and four of them traveled at least 320 yards, a big number considering Torrey Pines is just a cliff over sea level and even in pleasant weather, the ball doesn't go quite as far as summer in Ohio.
Big numbers are nothing new for Stanley, however.
He recalls coming down to the Titleist Performance Institute when he was a 17-year-old in his senior year in high school. His ball speed was measured at 184 mph.
"Now, I can't get it above 176," he said.
It wasn't just the big drives. Stanley showed exquisite control of his irons, especially his distance, and he has been working overtime the last few years on dialing in his wedges from inside 120 yards.
Even so, he refused to look ahead to Sunday and what a win might mean -- a trip to the Masters, perhaps a spot in the World Golf Championships, a two-year exemption.
No one was giving him the trophy, either.
"If a guy had a 10- or 12-shot lead, you'd feel pretty comfortable," Rollins said after his 68. "But when you're four or five shots, sometimes it's hard to play with a big lead because you get kind of relaxed and everything else."
Rollins should know. He had a three-shot lead with five holes to play in 2009, losing to Nick Watney.
Still, Stanley, the former All-American from Clemson aspires to play boring golf and not look too far ahead.
His lone bogey came on the 12th, when he went just over the green, chipped to 6 feet and missed the putt. Then came the big blast on the 13th -- "As good as I can possibly hit it," he said -- that left him a soft 7-iron to 15 feet on the fringe below the hole for an easy birdie.
"Are you playing this as a par 4?" Sang-Moon Bae turned and said to him with a smile.
Huh, a 21-year-old rookie who spent three years on the Korean Tour, also had a 68 and joined Rollins at 13-under 203. FedExCup champion Bill Haas (70) and Bae (72) were another shot behind. Bae was 5 over through five holes until he ran off four straight birdies to start the back nine to get his name back on the leaderboard.
The question is whether anyone else is in contention.
Stanley is no surprise to those who play with him or watch him hit balls, and he nearly joined the parade of rookie winners last year until Steve Stricker rallied with birdies on the last two holes to beat him in the John Deere Classic.
Stanley had a one-shot lead over Brandt Snedeker going into the third round at Torrey Pines, and before long had a comfortable lead, just as Woods has done on this public course.
Shot of the Day: Villegas
Camilo Villegas nearly holes this 106-yard approach shot on the par-5 9th hole.
From deep rough on the par-5 sixth, Stanley hammered a shot just short of the green and pitched up to 12 feet for birdie. He hit sand wedge to 10 feet on the 10th for another birdie, then established himself on the back nine.
Along with the easy birdie on the 13th, Stanley saved par on the 14th. The day before, his approach jumped out of the rough and over the green for a double bogey. Playing it safe this time, he hit 9-iron that went well short, into the bunker, but blasted out to 8 feet and made a tricky, downhill putt for par.
His final birdie came on a 20-foot putt at the par-3 16th. No one else could make a move.
Snedeker went to tap in a 2-foot par putt on the seventh and was shocked when it made a horseshoe around the cup. He then missed his next five greens in regulation, and when he got home in two on the 13th, he three-putted. Snedeker had a 74 and fell seven behind.
"This is something you dream about as a kid," Stanley said. "But there's still one more round."
Torey Pines South: Saturday EASIEST HOLE TOUGHEST HOLE The par-5 13th hole was the easiest with a Saturday scoring average of 4.405.
The par-4 12th hole was the toughest with a Saturday scoring average of 4.380.
About the leader • As he inches closer to his first PGA TOUR win, the 24-year-old former Clemson Tiger posted a third-round, 4-under 68, good for a commanding five-stroke lead headed into the final round. His three-round total of 198 ties the tournaments 54-hole record set by Tiger Woods in 2008. • The Farmers Insurance Open has not produced a first-time TOUR winner since Jay Don Blake in 1991. • A rookie on the PGA TOUR in 2011, Stanley is holding the 54-hole lead for the first time in his young career. His previous best 54-hole position was T4 at last years John Deere Classic, where he suffered a difficult loss to Steve Stricker who holed a putt from off the green on the 72nd hole. • Through three rounds, Stanley leads the field in Greens in Regulation, hitting 47 of 54, an 87% average. • The largest 54-hole lead at the Farmers Insurance Open belongs to Tiger Woods, who led by eight strokes headed into the final round in 2008. Woods wound up winning by eight strokes. • Since 2000, the third-round leader of the Farmers Insurance Open has held on for the win just four times.
DIVOTS: Jay Don Blake in 1991 was the last player to make Torrey Pines his first PGA TOUR victory. ... Ryo Ishikawa had his third consecutive round of 69 and was tied for 11th. ... Jonas Blixt had the low round Saturday at 65. Under a "University of Farmers" campaign, that was worth a $20,000 donation to his alma mater, Florida State. Cameron Tringale (Georgia Tech) had a 66 to finish second, which was worth $10,000.
