I wanted to share my recent experience with Lenovo depot warranty service that I found shocking. I am posting with hope that others might find this useful.
I have a X61 Tablet with an extended warranty. In November, one day I found that the screen won't stand at a fixed angle like it should. After looking under the plastic hinge cover, I saw that the metal hinge (or whatever that part is called) simply cracked from use (laptop is close to 3 years old). Luckily, I remembered buying an extended warranty, I looked it up, and there were 3 weeks left on it.
So I filed a request with Lenovo warranty, and as before in situations like this, they shipped a box, I sent bax the machine in the box. A guy calls next week, says as a matter-of-fact they need my credit card number so that they can charge more than $400 to repair the machine. Just like that. I tell him machine is under warranty. He tells me that a technician determined that damage is not covered by Lenovo warranty. I tell him that the hinge in a tablet is "wear and tear" and should be covered. He says that after the technician opened the machine, the machine was found to have "widespread damage all over the screen blah-blah-blah and he cites a long list of plastic parts related to the LCD bezel that are damaged" and that is beyond the warranty.
I was puzzled, told him there was no widespread damage, asked for details. After a long conversation, he promises to email pictures. Next week, I got four pictures from him: three of the cracked hinge (yes, thanks!) and one more showing that a corner of LCD frame is chipped off and there are two tiny hairline cracks right at the corner. Again, he calls and says "widespread damage, blah-blah-blah". I tell him the corner chipped off long time ago, where is widespread damage. He agrees that the pictures don't show widespread damage, but says it is all damaged, and says they will take even more pictures and email them to me if I don't believe them. Ok, please do. Then he suddently changes the tune, says pictures take too long, and how about he sends this to a supervisor and he is sure that I am right and they can do something about the hinge only. I say sure.
Two days later, a rude lady calls from a blocked phone number. She asks if I asked to escalate the issue, I reply yes if you call it that, she says repair for the hinge is not covered because there is a chipped off corner elsewhere on the LCD cover. I ask why, she says Lenovo policy and do I have any more questions and that I can pay up or have the machine back unrepaired. I asked for the machine back.
I think it is ridiculous that an obviously worn out part won't be repared because there is cosmetic damage somewhere else on the LCD cover. From the way they talked (widespread damage, damage all over, without providing evidence), it appears that they are working a script to deny any warranty repairs that they can possibly can think of. This is in such contrast to my previous experience with warranty repairs for IBM and later Lenovo (5 laptops over 8 years) that I found it shocking. Perhaps I should not, given the fact that business model of Lenovo has changed.

Sorry to hear that things didn't go smoothly with your repair thus far. I'd like to help.
Can you send me a private message with your contact information - name, address, phone, the system model type and serial number, and if you have your service case # that would be super helpful!
You can apeal / dispute the decision through the depot - ask that it be escalated.
I'll look for your PM with the info. Thanks for sharing!

I wanted to update this story: I received an offer to look into this issue by Mark_lenovo. I responded to him with details on December 10, and never heard back (no response to PM's either). My guess is that this is the end of it.

You both are right - GWF12 did send me the info and I've got it now (lost it in my inbox) and will follow up.
I've responded via PM today as well with a follow up question and we will get this sorted out early next week.
My apologies for letting this fall through the crack since the 9th.
Happy Holidays,
0 person found this solution to be helpful.
This helped me too
A follow up to my original post. Mark_lenovo helped me get this issue (refusal to repair what I felt was a usage-related hinge damage) back for a second review. A Lenovo customer service representative called me and arranged for the machine to be shipped back to Lenovo, and then a different technician looked at it and agreed to repair the hinge only. The machine was fixed and turned around on the same day by the depot. I should say that resolutoin was prompt and efficient, so a happy ending here. Obviously, Lenovo does have a working feedback mechanism on this forum and I strongly suggest to anybody having difficulties that they use it.
What's DOS?

I have a similar issue, my T500 has had loose hinges for almost 6 months, and I also have been told its not covered by warranty. That's ok, I can handle that - but to be told that it will cost almost $100 to ship it back to me is beyond belief!
The repair centre is within a 10km radius of where it was picked up from, so any freight charge could and should be waived. It was picked up FOC for other warranty work.
Im still waiting on a rep from Lenovo to reply to my voice mails and emails regarding this.
By the way, it is now out of warranty, but wasn't when it was shipped in. Its over two years old and gets a lot of use.

Columbia, MD – July 31, 2017 – Speaker and Personal Financial Coach, Breanna Colón has released a new book titled, 'The Secrets of Saving Money: Experiencing the Unlimited.' In this book, she gives insight into strategies that can be used to change your thinking and learn how to keep more of your money. It is currently available online at Amazon, Barnes&Nobles, and the author's website; www.secretsofsavingmoney.com
'The Secrets of Saving Money' is an easy to read guide that encourages people to shift their mindset about money, which will allow them to maximize the use of money and save on their everyday expenses. Colón also outlined the challenges involved, including the urge to spend money once earned.
'The Secrets of Saving Money: Experiencing the Unlimited' covers topics such as saving money on student loans, car loans, mortgage, personal expenses, church and business expenses, utilities, recreation and much more.
"Spending money as soon as it is earned is how many people get themselves into bottomless debt. Unfortunately, this attitude begins when we are young. For many, no one taught us how to spend money, but we quickly learn how to spend it. As children, we receive money for birthdays, holidays, allowance, and before you know it, it's all gone. As adults, we acquire our first pay check as full-time employees and don't have a clue what to do with it." said Breanna Colón, the book author. "The only way to break this cycle is to change our mindset about money" she added.
Breanna Colón believes that with a changed mindset and self-discipline, the strategies outlined in this book will be a path towards success and self-fulfillment, and perhaps a few more dollars in the reader's pocket.
Colón is committed to motivate, incite, and inspire people to become better managers of the money that God has blessed them with through her keynote speeches, workshops, financial seminars, and videos. She continues to enjoy teaching and encouraging people in various parts of the United States and abroad.

Stage III thyroid cancer is greater than 4 cm in diameter and is limited to the thyroid or may have minimal spread outside the thyroid. Lymph nodes near the trachea may be affected. Stage III thyroid cancer that has spread to adjacent cervical tissue or nearby blood vessels has a worse prognosis than cancer confined to the thyroid. However, lymph node metastases do not worsen the prognosis for patients younger than 45 years.
Stage III thyroid cancer is also referred to as locally advanced disease.
About this Treatment Information
The following is a general overview of treatment for stage III thyroid cancer. Cancer treatment may consist of a combination of surgery, radioactive iodine treatment, and radiation therapy. Combining two or more of these treatment techniques has become an important approach for increasing a patient's chance of cure and prolonging survival.
In some cases, participation in a clinical trial utilizing new approaches to treating thyroid cancer may provide the most promising treatment. Treatments that may be available through clinical trials are discussed in the section titled Strategies to Improve Treatment.
Circumstances unique to each patient's situation influence which treatment or treatments are utilized. The potential benefits of multi-modality care, participation in a clinical trial, or standard treatment must be carefully balanced with the potential risks. The information on this website is intended to help educate patients about their treatment options and to facilitate a mutual or shared decision-making process with their treating cancer physician.
Combination Therapy for Stage III Thyroid Cancer
Patients with locally advanced thyroid cancer have a higher risk of cancer recurrence. Typically, cancer recurs because there are small amounts of cancer that have spread outside the thyroid gland and were not removed by surgery. These cancer cells cannot be detected with any of the currently available tests.
To help reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, patients with stage III thyroid cancer typically receive a combination of treatments in an attempt to eliminate as much cancer as possible.
Surgery for Stage III Thyroid Cancer
Surgery for stage III thyroid cancer typically consists of removing the entire thyroid—a procedure called a total thyroidectomy—plus removal of affected lymph nodes. Researchers from Italy have reported that including aggressive surgery in the initial treatment of patients with locally advanced thyroid cancer improves survival. 1
Total thyroidectomy is associated with a side effect called hypoparathyroidism, which is a low level of a hormone that is normally released from the thyroid called parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone is important for maintaining calcium levels in the blood. Without a functioning thyroid, blood calcium levels become abnormally low, causing a variety of symptoms that typically include weakness and muscle cramps and tingling, burning, and numbness in the hands. This condition is called hypoparathyroidism.
Radioactive Iodine Treatment
Iodine is a natural substance that the thyroid uses to make thyroid hormone. The radioactive form of iodine is collected by the thyroid gland in the same way as non-radioactive iodine. Since the thyroid gland is the only area of the body that uses iodine, the radiation does not concentrate in any other areas of the body. The radioactive iodine that is not taken up by thyroid cells is eliminated from the body, primarily in urine. It is therefore a safe and effective way to test and treat thyroid conditions.
Research indicates that treatment with radioactive iodine improves survival for patients with thyroid cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes or to distant locations in the body. 2
Strategies to Improve Treatment of Thyroid Cancer
The development of more effective cancer treatments requires that new and innovative therapies be evaluated with cancer patients. Clinical trials are studies that evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs or treatment strategies. Future progress in the treatment of stage III thyroid cancer will result from the continued evaluation of new treatments in clinical trials.
Patients may gain access to better treatments by participating in a clinical trial. Participation in a clinical trial also contributes to the cancer community's understanding of optimal cancer care and may lead to better standard treatments. Patients who are interested in participating in a clinical trial should discuss the risks and benefits of clinical trials with their physician. Areas of active investigation aimed at improving the treatment of stage III thyroid cancer include the following:
Radiation Therapy after Surgery: Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to damage cells so that they are unable to grow and divide. Without the ability to replenish themselves, the cancer cells die. Similar to surgery, radiation therapy is a local treatment used to eliminate cancer cells in the area where the rays are focused, but cannot kill cancer cells that have already spread throughout the body.
External beam radiation therapy (EBRT): Conventional radiation therapy that is delivered with a machine that directs several high-energy beams at the area of the cancer is called EBRT.
Results from a clinical trial indicate that patients with locally advanced thyroid cancer treated with EBRT after surgery are less likely to experience cancer recurrence in or near the original site of cancer, which is called local-regional recurrence. When researchers directly compared treatment with and without EBRT, only 8% of patients treated with EBRT experienced a recurrence of their cancer compared to more than half (51%) of patients treated with surgery alone. Approximately nine out of 10 patients treated with EBRT survived 10 years or more after treatment without their cancer progressing in the thyroid area, compared to less than four out of 10 for the patients treated with surgery alone. 3
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT): IMRT allows radiation to be delivered more precisely with the use of the following advanced techniques:
- Three-dimensional scans of the cancer help determine where the radiation should be targeted.
- A rotating device delivers radiation from every point around the cancer, rather than only a few points as with conventional radiation therapy.
- Special blocking devices—called leaves—direct the radiation away from sensitive organs and toward the cancer.
IMRT appears to reduce the chance of injury to healthy body structures that are near the cancer while delivering higher doses of radiation to the cancer. In the treatment of thyroid cancer, this means that sensitive cells in the neck area—such as the cells that line the throat—may be spared from radiation damage, reducing side effects and improving quality of life.
Preliminary findings reported by researchers in New York suggest that IMRT is an effective treatment for select cases of thyroid cancer. However, long-term research is needed to confirm these findings. 4IMRT may be available through a clinical trial.

Cleveland Versus New Jersey PreviewEastern Conference Second Round
#2 Cleveland (50-32) vs. #6 New Jersey (41-41)
Season series: Cleveland, 2-1
New Jersey can win if…the Nets get enough defensive stops to fuel their transition game, enabling Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson to thrive in the open court. At least two of those three must play very well in one of the games in Cleveland in order to grab homecourt advantage.
Cleveland will win because…LeBron James is the best player on either team and he will make the key plays down the stretch, which could mean scoring or could mean finding open teammates if he is trapped. Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Drew Gooden and Anderson Varejao should enjoy an advantage inside against the Nets' frontcourt.
Other things to consider: New Jersey is a dangerous team, even without versatile big man Nenad Krstic, who went down early in the season with a knee injury. The Nets went into Miami last year and took game one from the eventual champions, so New Jersey is not a team that can be taken lightly, despite their ordinary record (they have the worst won-loss mark of any first round series winner in two decades). It would not be surprising at all if New Jersey wrests homecourt away from Cleveland in game one or two only to lose it back when the series shifts East. This series figures to go at least six games, but Cleveland just looks at least a little better than New Jersey in several areas: the Cavs have the best individual player (James), won the season series between the teams, gained a lot of playoff experience last year (which puts them ahead of Toronto, New Jersey's first round opponent) and were the better overall team all season long.

Adding even more tension to the tug-of-war match between Netflix and content providers, Showtime original series which are still in production - like Dexter and Californication - will disappear from the service in the northern summer.
However, the LA Times says shows that have been cancelled, such as The Tudors, will still be available. Looks like Showtime now views Netflix as the competition after the movie rental and streaming service acquired the rights to their first original show, House of Cards. Game on.

Fall Style Trends from Maison et Objet
Concurrent with Fashion Week in NYC and London, the Maison et Objet design show in Paris is the mecca of hip for home decor and interior design trends. Here is a full report on colors, prints, materials, and inspirations behind the beautiful designs, products and textiles on display.
The quatrefoil design, meaning four leaves, and its fashionable sister the barbed quatrefoil, were prevalent. This Gothic design is a decorative framework, and lends a cultured Renaissance flair to anything it touches. Watch for it in fabrics, furniture and accessories this year.
Florals are also enjoying a fashionable awakening. Pretty and artistic watercolor florals, mid to large scale blossoms, vintage floral prints and big open flowers were in bloom all over the place. Flowers are fresh, romantic and timeless in decor, it is no wonder they continue to evolve and pop up in different incarnations.
The global-chic tribal trend has gone South. Southwestern designs have shed their salmon cinnamon and earth toned roots and re-emerged as vivid trend-setters in fun palettes. Native American and South American patterns have been energized with pinks, greens and purples for a vivacious twist on the cultured and spiritual design style.
Watch out paint because solid color walls are out and bold graphic wallpaper is back in big time. Patterned walls were predominantly seen implemented as feature walls, with a complimentary color rounding out the rest of the space, but this look was dazzling left and right at Maison this year. Novelty designs, artistic prints and unusual, vivid wallpaper designs have reinvented the traditional looks of yesteryear for unexpectedly high fashion walls that beg to be noticed.
An amalgam of time periods and resources were being mixed with pleasing results, such as natural materials being modernized with sophisticated fittings. Vintage fabrics were everywhere, looking fabulous in contemporary stylings. Reclaimed wood and earthy materials like drift wood, clay and stone worked themselves into au courant designs with fresh colors and modern touches.
Color trends included lots of mid-tone pastels, like dusty pink, taupe, toned down lemon lime, peach, and especially everything aqua, giving a pretty and pleasant look to items. Orange and red were peppering in splashes of warm spice to designs, and opal, mother of pearl, and sequins were bringing an understated luxe. The result was quite lovely and not flashy for very livable looks.

New Zealand, land of astonishing natural beauty, landscapes that almost seem false as they are so incredible and unusual. Land of sensitive and unique flora and fauna, tatoos, the haka, sheep and cattle…and err interesting public toilets. You may think it strange that such a facility is to be featured on this blog for it's design aesthetic, but it is a pretty strange sight.
Travelling up to the northern tip of the country to a small town called Paihia, I noticed the small vibrant structure immediately. At first it looks more like a small brick a brack shop or a tourist vendor. However as you come closer you will notice the sign written in multicoloured and individually styled letters reading the words "Paihia's Wee Toilet".
The small box like building is decorated with metal toilets that have been converted into plant pots. Long wild grass potrudes from the disused boat that sits on the roof. Wooden benches line the small coves, proving practical for waiting children. The sloping walls at the entrance allow for a degree of privacy while washing your hands while also welcoming in sunlight. At night the public toilets light up in neon pink and green making it look even more inviting but also fooling some tourists into believing it is a silent dance venue.
And who may be responsible for such an eccentric piece of architecture in the middle of a tiny remote town on the other side of the world – Hundertwasser of course. The eccentric artist and architect spent a considerable amount of time in New Zealand and although his contribution to Paihia's architectural landscape was small, it is certainly significant. He would have no doubt also been pleased to know that it was certainly the cleanest public toilet I have ever visited.

If you ever read a fantasy novel or watched a sword and sorcery flick and wondered what it would be like to really cross swords with an Orc Chieftain or exchange fireballs with an evil wizard, then EverQuest Online Adventures is what you have been waiting for.
A gigantic online, virtual world, populated by monsters, maniacs and literally thousands of other players living out their fantasy cyber-lives. It may sound like The Matrix... but with dragons. If you'd like to see how far the rabbit hole goes, you'll need to take up arms and join the world of EverQuest Online Adventures.
EverQuest is the first MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) on PS2, meaning literally thousands of players all play online in the same world at the same time. After setting up your account and subscription (a monthly fee is required to keep the world turning), you create your hero. You can choose from nine races including Dwarves, Elves and Trolls; 14 professions (or classes) such as warrior, wizard, rogue, bard or monk are also available. With all that chosen, you can customise your hero's appearance to make them truly unique in the land of Norrath, and finally give them an evocative name. ('Bilbo' and 'Conan' are probably taken, we warn you.)
With your hero born into the world of Norrath, it's up to you to guide them. You can follow quests issued to you by friendly NPCs (computer controlled Non-Player Characters) or just head out into the wilderness to challenge the various beings, beasts and monsters that populate the continent of Tunaria. Play solo if you wish, but EverQuest Online Adventures really shines when you enlist fellow adventurers, and form strong multi-classed parties to better face the adventures ahead. It's a heck of a lot more fun to raid an orc camp when you've got your buddies with you, believe us.
Like real life, Norrath is a persistent world - meaning that even when you're not wandering around in it, the world keeps turning and events continue. So remember to set your alarms - if your party is off to slay the dragon at 6pm and you turn up at 7, it could all be over bar the shouting (and dousing the burning dwarf). Alternatively if you hold an in-game auction to sell a magic shield at 8, any interested parties better be there or lose out.
Because of the thousands of players involved, who all have their own goals and interests, EverQuest Online Adventures is almost as much driven by players as it is scripted. Luckily, communicating with other players is easy, thanks to the in-game virtual keyboard, support for USB keyboards and built-in Buddy List and Mail features that let you keep tabs on your adventuring partners.
Power, wealth and notoriety wait for you in EverQuest Online Adventures - what you do with them depends on your good (or evil) nature. The living world of Norrath is waiting for you. How you choose to live in that world is completely up to you.

The Persecution of Sarah Palin
Her memoir is full of vindictiveness and score-settling.
Maybe in their business lives, conservatives are the stern, unforgiving masters of capitalist lore. But when it comes to politics, oh, do they love a whiner!
It is her mastery of the lament that explained former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's appeal last year, and now her knack for self-pity is on full display in her book, "Going Rogue." This is the memoir as prolonged, keening wail, larded with petty vindictiveness. With an impressive attention to detail, Ms. Palin settles every score, answers every criticism; locates a scapegoat for every foul-up, and fastens an insult on every critic, down to the last obscure Palin-doubter back in Alaska.
From Ms. Palin's masterwork, we learn that the personal really is the political. Every encounter with a critic seems to be a skirmish in the culture wars, from the Alaska debate moderator who didn't play fair once to the "wealthy, effete young chap" who ran against her for governor but who, in one of the quickest transitions from anti-snob to snob in all of literature, is also said to have served as "our limo driver at [her husband] Todd's cousin's wedding."
We read about the mean things people have said about Ms. Palin's daughter Bristol, Ms. Palin's suspicions that the neighbors of the Alaska governor's mansion disapproved of her kids' toys, her assurance that she lived a spartan life as governor, "despite what some critics would later accuse me of doing." There's the nonscandal she calls "Troopergate," which is virtually impossible to follow in this telling, except for the insults Ms. Palin directs at one of the men who was (apparently) on the other side of the issue, whatever it was.
In other circumstances, Ms. Palin seems like a woman of grit. When she discovers that her fifth child is going to be born with Down syndrome, she is initially upset, but then writes a letter in God's voice—incidentally, one of the book's creepiest moments—instructing the rest of the family to "accept that I [i.e., the Almighty] only want the best for you. . . ."
But the mean things people say and do during her vice presidential run—these are not to be taken in the same spirit. These are to be recalled and deplored, one by one, as if from a master list Ms. Palin has been keeping all this time. She reminds us that someone hacked her email, that she got a prank phone call, and that she once saw someone wearing an insulting T-shirt in Philadelphia.
She claims that what ruined her famous interview with wily CBS News personality Katie Couric was the latter's "condescension," which caused Ms. Palin to bungle questions like the one in which she was asked to name her favorite newspaper. And she introduces us to Steve Schmidt, the Republican campaign strategist who is the book's No. 1 bad guy—almost alone among the book's characters, he is always referred to by his last name—and who, as Ms. Palin tells it, once implied to an aide that "if there were any more leaks critical of anybody in the handling of Sarah Palin, then a lot more negative stuff would be said about Sarah Palin."
And, lo and behold, there is. Much more. All of it neatly catalogued, bemoaned, and for sale.
But amid all this score-settling, Ms. Palin wanders into some predictable traps. When explaining her political philosophy, for example, she tells readers that "conservatism is a respect for history and tradition"; on the very next page she instructs readers to accept the creative-destructive whirl of the market, which affects society the way "wildfires in Alaska burn away deadfall to make way for new growth."
So much for tradition. The respect she shows history, though, is the kind of respect you show the flag when you soak it in kerosene and touch a match to it. "[W]e tried growing government to save the economy back in the 1930s, and it didn't work then either," Ms. Palin writes. It is a modest assertion, though, compared to the astonishing finding Ms. Palin reveals in the next sentence: "Massive government spending programs and protectionist economic policies actually helped turn a recession into the Great Depression." If this is, as it seems, a reference to the New Deal, then history, per Ms. Palin, sometimes goes backwards, with the WPA and its ilk actually bringing about events that took place before they were launched.
But Ms. Palin's life is meant to be an inspiration. Maybe I should follow her example. The opinion-page equivalent of the Palinesque style is easy enough to imagine: I would use this space to recite the indignities the world forced on me over the course of the week—an effete-looking young person ignored me the other day—plus glimpses of heartland authenticity—I sure do like pot roast—before concluding, darkly, that the reason I suffer is because I am such a sterling American.
I can't wait to get started.

NYSE prepares disaster backup plan: WSJ
Sat Mar 9, 2013
(Reuters) – The New York Stock Exchange is readying plans to be able to operate without human traders in case another disaster, such as Superstorm Sandy, forces the shutdown of its historic trading floor in downtown Manhattan, The Wall Street Journal reported.
NYSE Euronext (NYX.N) is preparing to submit details of the plan to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to the report, which cited people involved in the preparations. If activated, the plan would represent the first time the 221-year-old exchange would rely entirely on computer systems, without the oversight of floor-based traders, the paper said.
A NYSE spokesman declined to comment on the report.
The disaster plan would shift trading entirely to Arca, NYSE's all-electronic sister market. It would replace NYSE's current backup plan that calls for the exchange to remain open in a limited capacity while sending orders to Arca to be filled.

According to rebs1977, Isabella Rossellini prefers public transportation, and, if you're lucky, you might just run into her on the LIRR and get the chance to offer her one of your iPod earbuds so the two of you can listen to music together:
True story. Years ago when I was just out of college and living with my grandparents in Long Island while maintaining a social life in Manhattan, I was taking the train back home early on a Saturday morning. Who was sitting across the aisle from me? Isabella Rossellini, bare faced and gorgeous. I later read an article that she does not drive. She is solid. She takes the LIRR along with us plebes.

Mark Tibergien is the only individual to have won a spot on the IA 25 for each of the 12 years that we've been publishing the list. Is there anything new to say about his influence on the overall industry, his personal accomplishments (and those whom he has mentored over his career) and his insights into the current state of the advisor business and its future? Turns out there's plenty.
For one thing, he has a well-honed sense of humor. When he talks about his long-time effort to encourage advisors to build actual succession plans, he responds to the low adoption rate by saying he knows he hasn't "turned the tide" and that he feels "like a missionary" preaching to deaf ears on the topic, "like Mitt Romney in Paris." When speaking to a roomful of independent broker-dealer executives at the FSI OneVoice conference this past January, his topic was the future of the BD business. He chided them for pursuing a strategy of "serving the dead and dying," suggesting that BDs should instead focus on reps who are growing their practices rather than fawning (my adjective, not his) over top producers who are on their way out of the business.
Musing on why it's apparently difficult to attract younger people to the advisory profession, he likes to say that as an advisor you "profoundly impact the lives of other people. It's financially rewarding. It's intellectually stimulating. Throw in walks on the beach and it's a pretty good personals ad." Some years back, his stump speech for advisors who wanted to make their practices into businesses included a drawing he'd make on a whiteboard that showed a rounded "W" with a line underneath (W). What did that symbol suggest about the advisor's role in the business? "That's your butt on the line," he'd say, always drawing laughter.
The humor is an effective (and clever) way to introduce topics that many advisors and BD execs would like to avoid addressing head on. Once listeners are thus softened up, they're more likely to take to heart what Tibergien is suggesting. Which is what, exactly? Let's start with the importance of human capital, including how to attract and motivate the next generation of advisors, talk about his personal accomplishments as CEO of Pershing Advisor Solutions and get his take on the future of the industry.
From where, I asked in an April interview, did he come up with his focus on the importance of people to the business—from the benchmarking data and consulting he did so well as a partner at Moss Adams? From his personal experiences?
Tibergien's focus on human capital comes, he replied, from three areas. First, from his experience as an employee: "If you've ever been mismanaged, you aspire to something greater." Second, as a business leader at Moss Adams and Pershing, he saw "the value that an effective manager can bring to an organization." The third source was a "combination of academic and professional studies that validated" what he already suspected.
Tibergien then segues into another of his trademark approaches: applying intellectual and process rigor to topics or beliefs that advisors and their partners like to say they already possess. "People tend to be somewhat superficial" about their management style, he said. "If you think the key to effective management is to say hello to employees in the elevator, you've missed the message." He then moved on to another, related topic: that properly motivated (or not demotivated) members of your team can accomplish great things. "People are smarter than we give them credit for—they have good intuition on whether someone," like their manager, "is being sincere."
His mantra that "you can't motivate people, you can only demotivate them" is related. "One of the worst things we can do is to underestimate people," so when you do so as a manager, you "create 'dissatisfiers' that take them from being a self-driven person to someone who just wants to get the hell out." To keep employees committed, they "have to believe, at their core, that they have an impact on the development of others and can support people to achieve their goals." As a manager, you do have to "provide guardrails" to your reports, but you can then "get out of the way; if they go off the rails, help them out or show them the way out."
The goal is to make them feel like a "stakeholder of the business" since "in the end, we're just people. We want to be valued and respected—it's no different than the playground in grade school."
For those advisor-owners who are reluctant to let valuable younger employees participate in firm ownership, he asked, "How many times have you heard advisors say, 'There's no way I can let an employee become an owner until they've suffered as much as I have.'?" He said that this bias against younger advisors "bewilders me." For one thing, he pointed out that most older advisors "were at one point younger advisors—they weren't born with grey hair and hemorrhoids" yet somehow "they were able to build businesses."
Moreover, he noted that "every other profession uses a master/intern concept, but for some reason financial services prefers to eat its young." However, "if we wanted this to be a profession, we'd think about how this master/internship would evolve: That's the maturation of the industry." He gathers hope for the profession from the growth he's seeing in professional managers and in the growing size and sophistication of many advisory firms, but he warns that there's another side of the coin to aging advisors. "What's going to happen to the clients of those advisors? It's not just advisors who are aging and disappearing, it's the client base," he said. The profession must "recognize that Gen X and millennials are accumulating money—just like the boomers did."
A final word, and bit of humor, about the foolishness of the older generation looking down on a younger generation. "Fresh in my mind is what my father and his friends said about our generation," he said, referring to baby boomers. "Each of us has gone through these changes—getting wiser is not a function of age," he said before adding the coda: "It's amazing to me that the same generation who created Woodstock are now Tea Partiers."
Accomplishments and Looking Ahead
So what about his call to those BD execs to stop "serving the dead and dying"? Tibergien admitted that in his FSI speech he "intended to be provocative," but he said it's necessary because leaders in the industry "have to change the conversation about how they're going to develop people." Those reps and advisors who are "winding down don't matter for business (though they do as people)" while focusing on the "next two generations" does matter. The focus for any firm is to become "an employer of choice."
As for his accomplishments as the leader of Pershing Advisor Solutions, Tibergien said first that he's "proudest about surrounding myself with terrific executives who get our mission and our commitment to clients and associates, and who are quite effective at executing what we're trying to do." What's been important about that group of leaders—a combination, he said, "of new blood and old"—has been "getting the right chemistry. It's a group that works well together and intuitively understands how to work with each other."
Second, he believes that PAS has helped the larger organization at Pershing and BNY Mellon to "realize the difference and the value of the advisory group and how we can play an important role in supporting" the goals of that larger organization.
Third, he believes "we've established ourselves as a leader among advisory firms that serve high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients." However, he warns that "it's still developing; I'm not ready to write my obituary yet." Instead, "this is a job of continuous improvement—just when you think you've got something licked, something else comes up." Being both gracious and realistic, Tibergien admitted that "we've made an impact on the marketplace, but we're dealing with excellent competitors who we respect a lot." However, "in the end, we have to keep reminding ourselves to focus on our optimal client rather than be obsessed with our competitors."
As for the future, Tibergien said, "This is such an incredible business," and he encourages everyone who has college-age kids "to take a look at" the profession. While he worries that "we're drowning in regulation," some of which contradicts and little that elucidates, what problem are we trying to solve? In addition, "we've created a scary image of what the business is about" instead of showing how it's "actually helping people to accomplish goals. It's a tremendous opportunity—there's still a lot of money that has to be managed, and that's an opportunity." Moreover, "it's not just here" in the United States where there's opportunity: "It impresses me how the world is evolving. The capital markets are becoming more important in so many countries, no matter where you're located."

Yeah, when this was first unveiled yesterday, for a split second we thought it was a new MediEvil game too. Sadly, it's not, though it does have skeletons and it is for a PlayStation console.
The game is Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest, and it's a PlayStation Move title for the PS3. Kiddy action title it may appear to be, but with quality PlayStation Move-centric titles still thin on the ground, it might do OK for itself!

A Fort Lewis College student who was shot and killed earlier this month near Henderson Lake helped jump-start the suspects vehicle earlier in the day, according to an arrest report.
The act of kindness is one of several details contained in an arrest affidavit made public Thursday by 6th Judicial District Judge Jeffrey Wilson.
Also revealed Thursday: a former U.S. Marine subdued the suspect at gunpoint.
Brenden Dow Ashburn, 37, of Durango, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of David Jones, 26.
Ashburn faces a minimum of life in prison and the possibility of the death penalty.
The shooting occurred late Aug. 17 or early Aug. 18 in a remote location about 20 miles north of Durango in the San Juan National Forest.
According to the affidavit, which draws largely from an interview with Eric Berry, Jones friend who witnessed the shooting, this is what happened:
Jones and Berry, 20, were camped several hundred yards away from Ashburn a man they had never met.
They helped Ashburn jump-start his vehicle during the day Aug. 17.
Later that night, about 10 p.m., Ashburn visited their campsite and joined them around the campfire. Ashburn was seated on a green metal cooler with Berry to the left and Jones seated across from Ashburn.
They all consumed whiskey and beer together, and they smoked marijuana, the affidavit says.
After a few hours, Ashburn produced a revolver from his coat pocket. He removed it from the holster and showed it to both men.
Ashburn handed the gun to Berry, and Berry returned it to Ashburn.
Moments later, Ashburn fired one shot straight up into the air.
Berry and Jones were shocked by his behavior, the affidavit says.
They asked Ashburn to put the pistol away, and Ashburn became agitated. He told them to shut up or he would shoot them. He pointed the pistol back and forth at both men while yelling at them.
They feared for their lives, the affidavit says. They pleaded with Ashburn and tried to calm him down, but he became more agitated.
After about 15 minutes, Jones stood up nervously to tend to the fire while Ashburn remained seated on the cooler.
According to the affidavit, Ashburn took aim and fired one shot at Jones, hitting him in the upper torso.
Jones reached for his chest and walked about 6 feet before collapsing, Berry told investigators.
Berry stood up and ran. He looked back once to see Ashburn still seated on the cooler. He ran past an adjacent campsite and yelled, He shot my friend!
Berry continued to run along the road before veering into the trees. He heard more gunshots and kept running into the forest until he felt safe. He remained in the forest until daylight.
He eventually came down from a hillside and met up with La Plata County Sheriffs Investigator Kevin Brown, who was driving in the area.
Brown, who wrote the affidavit, was notified of the shooting death at 4 a.m. Aug. 18. It was daylight before he reached the scene of the crime.
Authorities first learned of the shooting at 1:56 a.m. Aug. 18 from David Pribble, a former U.S. Marine.
Pribble told investigators he and his family were camping in the area when he heard the gunshot. He said someone ran through his campsite yelling that his friend had been shot.
Pribble said he grabbed a pistol and ran to the adjacent camp. He confronted Ashburn, who had a pistol in his hand.
Pribble pointed his pistol at Ashburn and told him to drop the weapon. He then activated a laser sight on his pistol and pointed it at Ashburns chest.
He then forcibly took the pistol from Ashburn, the affidavit says.
Pribble tied Ashburns hands with rope and escorted him back to his camp where he and his wife tied Ashburn to an Aspen tree.
Pribbles wife and son watched Ashburn while Pribble drove up the road to find cellphone service to call 911.
Pribble told investigators he was not fully aware that Jones was dead until he returned to the campsite with a flashlight.
He immediately saw blood on the ground near the campfire, the affidavit says. Then he saw Jones a few feet away from the blood. It was obvious to him Jones was deceased.
Deputies arrived about an hour after receiving the 911 call and arrested Ashburn.
Formal charges were filed Thursday in District Court against Ashburn. In addition to first-degree murder, he is charged with placing someone in danger of a deadly weapon, a felony, for pointing the gun at Berry.
Berry, also a student at FLC, declined to comment Thursday for this story.
Ashburn is being held in the La Plata County jail without bail.
Judge Wilson released the arrest affidavit Thursday, saying the arrest record is unlikely to prevent Ashburn from receiving a fair trial.

JetBlue flights are coming to Worcester
JetBlue Airways plans to start flying out of Worcester Regional Airport in November, launching the first regularly scheduled passenger service at the beleaguered airport since Direct Air shut down a year ago.
JetBlue will offer two daily flights from Worcester to Florida, one to Orlando and one to Ft. Lauderdale, starting Nov. 7 on 100-seat Embraer 190 aircraft. JetBlue chief executive Dave Barger was at Worcester Airport Wednesday morning for the announcement, along with Governor Deval Patrick and Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray, who is a former mayor of Worcester.
City, state, and Massachusetts Port Authority officials have been wooing the airline for the past year, and delegates from the Worcester business and civic community have turned out to greet visiting JetBlue executives.
Massport, which owns the airport, is giving JetBlue a $275,000 break on airport fees and charges for two years, and giving the airline $150,000 worth of free marketing, part of an incentive program the agency offers at Logan International Airport to attract new international service. JetBlue is the largest carrier at Logan.
The Worcester airport has faced a number of challenges, including fog, outdated landing systems, and a road to the airport that winds through five miles of city streets, and has had trouble retaining airlines in recent years.
In 2001, the airport had four carriers: Delta Connection, American Eagle, US Airways Express, and Pan American, but by 2003, they were all gone. When Direct Air started flying out of Worcester in 2008, it hadn't had regularly scheduled service for two years.
Passenger traffic in Worcester peaked in 1989 at 354,000. In 2011, 107,434 passengers flew in and out of Worcester on Direct Air.
Massport, which took over ownership of the airport from the city in 2010, has invested $8.9 million in runway maintenance, heating and air conditioning systems, and terminal upkeep. The agency announced last month that it will add a parallel taxiway and install a new instrument landing system that will allow planes to land in the lowest levels of visibility.

Susan Menash happens to be another favorite person in my life. Her talent is knows no bounds- just check out her photography website HERE and you will know what I mean. I especially love the pictures of the seniors on her site as there are so many great stories waiting to be told…..
I love her seder plate creation from 2011 as it teaches us that a little imagination goes a long way….
Enjoy! Marlene
"Hi Marlene,
I used 2 rectangular vases from Crate and Barrel but you can choose to use up to a dozen small vases as your base. I had a piece of glass made up 24 inches by 12 inches. (You can use any clear tray or any thick piece of glass ) I filled my vases up with water, orchids, (last longer in water) and topped with my glass seder tray.
I was thinking of putting red or blue tropical fish to symbolize the parting of the Red Sea sea but I didn't want to be stuck with the live fish after the seder.
Now that I think of it, I should have given the fish away as Afikoman gifts for my grandchildren.
Susan Menash"

The backflip has been a staple trick in action sports for years. It's one you have to master no matter your preferred mode of transportation. From Skiing to MotoX and even snowmobiles, it's as much a part of your daily routine as driving your car to work. World champion freestyle skier and rally driver Guerlain Chicherit decided it was time to combine his two favorite activities by doing a backflip in a John Cooper Works Mini Countryman!
Chicherit was the perfect candidate for this stunt after he'd been behind the wheel of the rally car before. Not only did he win the French rally championship on two occasions, he also claimed back-to-back titles on the Dakar Rally.
The stunt was a little different though, because he had to flip the car, as he would on skis. Not something you want to happen in a car, especially considering it had been tried unsuccessfully before.
Adding to the danger, the jump would be "unassisted", meaning the car would be jumping from a quarter pipe, similar to what skiers use, and the car would have no modifications to aid in its rotation.
So there he was: In a JCW Mini Countryman, in France, with nothing but a huge quarter pipe separating him from victory.
He hits the gas and the Mini screamed towards the ramp. The take off was perfect but the car got off its axis as it got upside down. Chicherit over-rotated slightly, but still stuck the landing and drove off the ramp.
The jump can be seen on the Mini YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/mini

When it comes to your money, fear of risk may be your biggest enemy.
You already know that you should save for retirement, but it's important to understand why that money should be in retirement-specific account.
A good 401(k) plan can be key to employee recruiting and retention. But how to tell a good plan from a bad one?
For small businesses looking to attract and reward talented employees, Cash Benefit Plans can be an attractive addition to the familiar 401(k).
These tax deductions won't just save you money; they'll help your business grow.
If you've recently joined the workforce, you shouldn't just think about your career path; you should think about your financial path as well.
Your IRA and 401(k) (or 403(b) if you work for a non-profit) are great tools for deferring taxes, and have other advantages as well. But because they're labeled "retirement" accou
