Newtown, CT – December 30, 2016
Let's do some simple math – Hospital A performs 260 joint replacement procedures in a year and Hospital B performs 240, therefore, A does more than B. And if I told you that the average across all hospitals was 240, you may conclude that A is doing 20 procedures a year too many. But you would only conclude that if you knew very little about health care or had pretty poor analytic skills, because without knowing the size of the underlying market, it may be very difficult to draw an appropriate conclusion. So let's add just one more simple variable, which is the number of Medicare patients in each hospital's local area, which represents the underlying market for that procedure. As it turns out, Hospital A has 18,000 Medicare beneficiaries in its local area and B has 12,000, and proportionally, A does far fewer procedures per hundred beneficiaries than B. Of course, at that point, a serious researcher would likely want to know whether the two populations had similar characteristics, or if, for example, one of the two populations was simply made up of younger, healthier Medicare beneficiaries. For years the Dartmouth Atlas has done such studies, examining not just the raw volume of procedures per hospital, but by hospital referral region so as to more appropriately compare one site to another. And yet, recently, one of Dartmouth's own seemed to set aside the importance of contextual information in comparing the performance of providers. In a JAMA editorial, Elliott Fisher concluded that hospitals participating in the Medicare Bundled Payment for Care Improvement for joint replacements, not only performed more surgeries, but that those were likely inappropriate and that the entire BPCI program was therefore a failure. It's time for a math lesson.
What this means to you – It's unclear what's more disturbing, the lack of serious analyses by Fisher, or the apparent lack of any real methods scrutiny by JAMA, because both are pretty bad. But don't take my word for it, do the math yourself with the open data we're providing. In it you will find everything you need for a reasoned analysis, including (1) the actual discharges by year for DRGs 469 and 470, for every hospital in the US, by year; (2) the associations of hospitals to hospital referral regions; (3) the number of Medicare beneficiaries by HRR and by year; (4) the hospitals and other providers participating in the BPCI, the focus of their participation and the enrollment date in the program; and (5) certain other characteristics for each HRR for two separate years that you could consider the baseline year and the intervention year. All of these data, except for (1) were downloaded from public use files. Our friends at CareSet/DocGraph provided us with the discharge counts because they have direct access to the Medicare data warehouse and are super cool. As you dive into the data, consider that some of the hospitals that were included in the original BPCI study enrolled much later than others and that any increase in volume they may have experienced is likely due to factors other than the BPCI incentives. Consider also that intervention and comparison cohorts can suffer from small sample size effects. And consider the importance of putting procedure volume in the context of market characteristics. As you perform your analyses, reach out and share your conclusions, submit them for publication, or perhaps write a letter to the JAMA editor about the merits of simple, but correct math. Either way, let's make sure the real facts are published, not ones made up to advance a particular policy point of view. We've done the math and will share it soon enough as our way of kicking off the new year with a bang.

Current Lab Members
Louis M Kunkel, Ph.D.
Marielle Thorne, Lab Manager
Joined the Kunkel Lab in September of 1998. She holds a bachelors degree in Biology from Boston College. Marielle is responsible for general lab upkeep, safety and ordering. She also does extensive work on the Interstitial Cystitis (IC) and Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) projects, working to identify genetic causes of IC and PBS using exome genomics. She is also involved in setting up new assays to look at locomotion in disease verse non-disease fish. Marielle enjoys making birthday cakes for the lab and is from Hingham, Massachusetts.
Joined the Kunkel Lab in 2013 after completing an undergraduate degree from State University of New York at Cortland, a master's degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and a doctorate in Exercise Physiology at the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University. Jeff did post-doctoral training in muscle physiology in the Department of Biology at Marquette University with support from a NASA Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. His early work also consisted of studying the detrimental effect of non-weight bearing actions on muscle function paired with the development of the exercise-based interventions. Within the Kunkel Lab, Jeff's interest is focused on understanding how dystrophies and myopathies impact muscle contractility, looking at how contractile function can be improved or restored by novel therapeutic interventions. Jeff approaches his work across several levels of biological organization, from small zebrafish larvae to human muscle biopsies. By providing a physiological prospective with focus on muscle strength and performance, Jeff is able to translate functional assays that are typically performed on rodent muscles to the Kunkel lab zebrafish model. Jeff is from Massachusetts.
Angela Lek, Ph.D.
Joined the lab in the fall of 2016 after receiving her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins school of Medicine. Her thesis was completed under the guidance of Kathryn Wagner M.D. Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins and Kennedy Krieger Institute Genetic Muscle Center in Baltimore, Maryland. While working in Baltimore, Tracy developed a novel xenograft model for human skeletal muscle diseases and tested new gene therapy with the model. Working closely with the muscular dystrophy patients community during her graduate work has motivated her to stay in the field of muscular dystrophy while continuing to work on pushing more therapeutics from bench to clinic. In her spare time, Tracy is passionate about cooking and eating good food while exploring fun things to do around Boston.
Joined the Kunkel Lab in June 2015. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. Her research in the Kunkel lab is focused on discovering disease modifiers and drug therapies for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Janelle is from Melrose, Massachusetts.
Anna Pakula, Ph.D
Joined the Kunkel Lab in October 2015 after graduating from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland. She holds a Ph.D. in the myology field from the Free University in Germany. In the Kunkel Lab, Anna's focus is on Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy (FSHD) and Duchenne Dystrophy. Her interests include developing treatment strategies through injections and use of transgenic zebrafish models designed by Hiroaki Mitsuhashi. Through Anna's focus on the main mechanisms behind FSHD, she has been working on Single Cell Transcriptomics on primary human muscle FSHD cells in order to characterize the cells regardless of DUX4 expression. Anna is an active member of the Women in Science Association in both Germany and the United States. In her spare time, Anna enjoys discovering different cultures through her many travels and is Thorn, Poland.
Matthias Lambert, Ph.D.
Joined the lab in the fall of 2017 after receiving his Ph.D. in physiology from Lille University in France. His doctorate research was completed under the supervision of physiologist, Pr. Bruno Bastide and proteomics professor, Dr. Caroline Cieniewski-Bernard. While completing his Ph.D., Matthias focused on the characterization of the role of a post-translational modification, O-GlcNAcylation, in the sarcomere structure of the skeletal muscle and it's involvement in muscle diseases. Using the C2C12 myotubes model, Matthias determined that O-GlcNAcylation is a fine modulator of the sarcomeric morphology, it is involved in interactions between key structural proteins such as desmin and alpha B-crystallin, and O-GlcNAcylation has O-GlcNAc binding sites on various proteins of interest. In the Kunkel lab, Matthias plans to first use a library of novel small molecules (which modulate different signaling pathways in the zebrafish sapje screening model) to modulate Jagged1 protein and restore dystrophic phenotype as seen in previous animal models. His second goal is to move these efficient molecules into a preclinical mouse model and create and new transgenic mouse line expressing Jagged1 in an inducible way. In his spare time, Matthias enjoys playing the drums while discovering new food and culture from all over the world. He is also an active member of the French Muscular Dystrophy Association. Matthias is from Saint-Omer, France.
Lillian Mead, Research Assistant
Joined the Kunkel lab in October 2015 after completing an undergraduate degree in Biology from Lake Forest College in Chicago. During her undergrad, Lillian worked with Dr. Amiel Rosenkranz at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science to observe changes in eating habits and stress reactions of female rats injected with progesterone. For the past year, Lillian has been collaborating on a multiple DMD and FSHD lab projects using zebrafish and mouse models. Lilly also assists with the maintenance of the labs muscular dystrophy mouse and fish models. In her spare time, Lilly works at The Handle Bar spin studio and enjoys exploring Boston. Lilly is from Yarmouth, Maine.
Devin Gibbs, Research Assistant
Joined the Kunkel Lab in June of 2014. He completed a double major at Colby College in Biology and Music where he worked in Andrea's Tildens lab determining the expression patterns of circadian rhythm proteins in crustaceans. For the past two years, one of Devin's primary roles in the Kunkel Lab has been the maintenance of the labs muscular dystrophy mouse and fish models. Devin has also collaborated on a wide range of projects including drug screens in zebrafish and behavioral assays in mice. Devin is from Waterville, Maine.
*Devin will be joining the Molecular Biology Ph.D. program at UCLA, fall 2017

L-3 MAPPS, OSL Team for Royal Canadian Navy Programs
L-3 MAPPS has teamed with British Columbia-based Offshore Systems Limited (OSL) to provide leading solutions for Royal Canadian Navy programs. The latest generation of L-3 MAPPS' Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) – a solution originally pioneered for the Royal Canadian Navy almost 30 years ago – will be integrated with OSL's ECPINS navigation and Integrated Bridge System (IBS) to provide a cost-effective Integrated Ship Management System (ISMS) solution to the Canadian National Ship Procurement Strategy (NSPS) for navy programs.
The all-Canadian ISMS solution will provide commonality with existing systems in the fleet while enhancing the operational effectiveness of the new navy ships to be procured under the NSPS through greater integration of the platform management and ship navigation functions – a compelling value proposition by Canadians for Canada.
"Both L-3 MAPPS and OSL have delivered innovative Canadian solutions to the world's leading navies and we are pleased to offer our combined strengths to serve Canada's needs for cost-effective and high-performance ship control and navigation systems," said Rangesh Kasturi, vice president of marketing & sales for L-3 MAPPS Marine Systems and Simulation.
"OSL has evolved its ECPINS warship navigation system to a full-fledged naval Integrated Bridge System and we are pleased to join forces with L-3 MAPPS to combine its leading IPMS with our IBS to offer a synergistic solution that will deliver outstanding performance," said Ken Kirkpatrick, chief executive officer of OSI Geospatial Inc.
L-3 MAPPS has provided its proven IPMS technology to the majority of the Royal Canadian Navy ships, including the ongoing IPMS upgrade of the Halifax Class Frigates. OSL's ECPINS has fleet-wide deployment in the Royal Canadian Navy, installations in 12 other international navies, and is delivering a comprehensive IBS to the Royal New Zealand Navy's ANZAC Frigate Upgrade Program.

Despite a push from the commander-in-chief, as well as continued questions from various Republican constituents on whether he will make a run for U.S. Senator in 2018, Florida Governor Rick Scott announced Thursday that he will chair the super PAC New Republican.org.
Operating under the pretense that it's time for the Republican Party to make a change and reinvent its approach to modern-day politics, the political action committee hopes to attract both younger voters, as well as Hispanics in elections to come.
Scott compared the current state of affairs between parties to WWI-style trench warfare, saying in a press release issued earlier today that "there is nothing new, it's the same thing every day – lob some grenades over the ditch and then brace for incoming."
According to Scott, the goal of the Tallahassee-based super PAC is to shake off the beleaguered habits of yesterday, ridding the party of all the "old political jargon and clichés," while deregulating America's economy and health care and education systems.
"We favor empowering people at the local level, the Democrats favor federal government decisions made in Washington," said Scott.
Alex Castellanos, who will serve as the super PAC's senior advisor, founded the committee several years ago. Joining Castellanos will be Scott's former chief of staff and reelection campaign manager, Melissa Stone, who will serve the executive director and Taylor Teepell, who will hold the position of finance director.
Scott touted his relationship with President Trump in the press release, saying the two have had a 20-year friendship. "I am committed to helping him as he fights against the political machine and attempts to force real change upon a political system and a city that hates change," Scott said.
Summing up plans on how to promote the newly reorganized super PAC, Scott says the committee will be marketed as "open versus closed" and "new versus old."
Gov. Rick Scott says tonight he's being urged by a lot of ppl - including Trump - to run against Nelson in #flasen. But has made no decision— Manu Raju (@mkraju) May 10, 2017
While Scott has not given a definitive answer as to whether he intends to challenge three-term Democratic Senator Bill Nelson in 2018, some speculation can be drawn from his frequent mention of it during public speaking engagements.
Two things are clear: Due to term limits, Scott's gubernatorial duties expire in January 2019 and the fact this is not the first super PAC he has been chairman of in the past year shows he has no intention of stepping out of the political spotlight.
In 2016, Scott was chairman of the pro-Trump super PAC, Rebuilding America Now. Alongside Scott was Castellanos, who served as creative director for the committee that raised over $22.5 million during the most recent election cycle.
Total contributions to New Republican.org for the 2018 election cycle thus far are $15, according to official records from the Federal Election Commission. Expenditures, however, already exceed $4,000 for the printing of materials.

"Volunteering Just Leads To More Volunteering"
"I have three huskies. The red-and-white one is Sandy. The other red-and-white one – with one blue eye and one brown eye – is Maui. Then this is Taylor; I got her from Husky Camp, a rescue organization I work with.
"Taylor is a therapy dog. We're very involved with the OCSPCA, the Orange County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They have a program there called PAWS, which stands for Pets Are Wonderful Support.
"Basically, Taylor and I do therapy work with all kinds of organizations. We'll visit battered-women shelters, helping the kids there. We go to senior living homes and spend time with the Alzheimer's patients. We'll visit children down at the autism center. Everyone loves to see a dog – and their presence can be very soothing and beneficial, comforting in the face of whatever people are going through.
"Just recently, we started participating in a new program called PANDA which stands for 'PAWS Assisting the Needs of the District Attorney.' We're part of the first fifteen dogs assigned to the program. Honestly, it's very sad but meaningful work.
"What we do is we assist the District Attorney's office by providing dog therapy to sexual abuse victims. These are usually minors and while they are going through their court cases – dealing with court prep, going down to the courthouse and basically having to relive something profoundly traumatic they'd rather just forget – our dogs can help make the whole process less traumatic, more relaxing and more comfortable.
"Anything we can do to help bring comfort to these kids is worth the effort. A lot of these kids have been removed from their home, removed from their own pets – or maybe they never had one.
"Having a dog around, as support, doesn't just help the kids feel better. Kids will open up to a dog, talk to a dog. They can just be themselves around the dog and it helps them find that comfort level to tell their story – so the D.A. can get the information they need to try the case and see that justice is done.
"Sometimes I look back and think how amazing it is that we've ended up here, doing this work. But then, that's how it goes when you start giving back. Volunteering just kind of leads to more volunteering."
– Ann Carruthers, Member of Urban Mushing, Fairview Park, Costa Mesa

Last week it was my great honor photographing Viktoriya and Fernando's intimate wedding at the Waterside Restaurant in northern New Jersey overlooking the Manhattan skyline! Sometimes, you can just tell when a couple simply deserves to be with each other, and this case was absolutely no exception. Every so often while we were walking from location to location, I had to keep making sure the two were still following me, and not just standing there kissing each other.. Adorable. =) I also love their taste, as their apartment was impeccably styled and had utterly fantastic natural light! Combined with a beautiful couple, it wasn't hard at all getting wonderful shots. Congrats on your new life together, you two!! And of course, with Pastor Sam Stone, who officiated my own wedding, presiding (plus his son, Clarence and his team manning the video) it was definitely a nice day. A big thanks also to Chi-Chi for being my lovely assistant too. Enjoy the photos!
Pink wedding dress = win.
How amazing is technology? They Skyped to Russia so Viktoriya's mom could see her on her wedding day! Awesome.
I adore couples that love to have fun in front of the camera!
They were taking a photo of another couple being lovey-dovey!

insurance & fees
We offer face-to-face, chat, video, telephone, and email counseling to individuals, couples, and groups. All sessions are approximately 50-55 minutes long unless otherwise arranged with your therapist or life coach. We charge by the the session hour, regardless of service (with the exception of email counseling).
We realize finances can be a stress for many families, and we do not want finances to stand in the way of great counseling services which provide enormous change. We are confident in our ability to help with your mental health issue.
Our fee ranges from $55 for a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern to $155 for Licensed Professional Counselors. How to Get Insurance ReimbursementWe encourage you to talk with your therapist at your initial appointment about fee if you recognize this will be a hardship to therapy.
We also offer free 30-minute non clinical consultations. All therapists are different. Use this appointment to find out if this counselor is a good fit for your needs. Suggested questions to discover: Is this the therapist the best fit for me? Do I connect with this therapist? Do I feel like I can trust this therapist? What will this therapist do to help me with my needs? This session is *not clinical*. It is intended to be a "get to know you" session only, to find out if the counselor is the best fit. Counselor will share their methodology and practice style with you during this time.
We are an out-of-network provider with most insurance companies. Our decision to decline contractual agreements with any insurance company is a very well thought-out decision. Although this can at times create a financial hardship for some clients, we are open about our reasoning. Note: Interns assess a lower fee ($55-95) for their services but are unable to provide insurance reimbursement.
We still aim to provide the exceptional care in every possible way. Therefore, we created an Insurance Reimbursement CHEAT SHEET to help you get the most from your insurance provider. We want to do everything we can do for our clients, while not having to remain the middle-man between insurance companies and clients. We feel confident this will allow us to remain excellent in our service in every possible way.
Legal Fees:
If you anticipate needing legal representation or depositions, please notify us in advance. In the event of court proceedings where we are court-ordered to appear, or our records are needed, our hourly fee is $200 for any amount of work performed including copies, drive time, wait time, depositions and court proceedings.
We respect our Client's confidentiality and session notes will not be released without a Judge signed Court order for their release.
Files are kept for a maximum of 5 years (or 5 years after a minor's 18th birthday), after which, all notes will be shredded. If, during that time, you or someone else requests a copy of those notes, we will provide them ONLY with the clients written permission. If copies of notes, treatment plans or any other work is needed from our file, we will kindly request a $25 payment for this time.
Forms of Payment:
Fees are due at the time of service. Our office takes Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Debit Cards, Checks or Cash. All checks should be made out to "I Choose Change". All checks returned unpaid will be subject to a $25 administrative and processing fee.
**Please note that no-shows and cancellations not made 24 hours in advance by telephone will be billed at the full rate of your session. You are expected to make your appointment as arranged, and waiving this fee will be decided on a case-by-case situation.
Schedule online by clicked the button below, or call 214-547-1318. Free thirty minute telephone consultations available to see if we are a good fit!

Flickr/Paul IsraelBig or small, decisions aren't as easy as they may seem.
Psychologists have found decision-making is fraught with hidden influences, tricky nuances, and the ability to make us happy in the short-term but unhappy in the long-term.
Some of my greatest insights into this aspect of human behavior have come from TED talks, which break down research findings into their most digestible form.
Here are the talks that have changed how I make decisions.

They raid the streets of Malawi armed with machetes, knives and axes abducting and often killing albinos both in broad daylight and in the dead of night.
A 9-year-old boy living with albinism in Malawi's eastern district Machinga is the latest victim of the brutal attacks perpetrated by the albino hunters. His mother Edna Cedrick tried effortlessly to rescue her son from the clutches of the evil two attackers who eventually abducted him last Friday.
A Machinga district police officer, Isaac Ndala, confirmed that the young albino was abducted while the boy's mother sustained injuries during the struggle with the two attackers. The mother had to take on the attackers alone as her husband was out on a fishing errand at the nearby Lake Chilwa.

The boy is still missing without any trace.
The rampant abduction and brutal murders of people living with albinism led to the branding of albinos an 'endangered specie' by police authorities.
Police statistics show that bout 50 criminal offences have been committed against albinos without counting the unreported cases.
"The latest statistics we have are of last year, 2015," police spokesperson Nicholas Gondwa said.
"Over 30 criminal cases were reported that included killings, abductions, and being found with bones of persons with albinism. Just imagine, there are even some daredevils who go to cemeteries to dig graves where people with albinism were buried. All that is done in the name of hunting for the body parts or bones of albinos," he said.
According to police statistics in January this year, not less than 11 people with albinism were killed while at least 34 others were attacked and some escape with body mutilations.
Apart from violence, police say these albino hunters use all sorts of tricks to hunt for albino body parts in Malawi, including the use of parents and relatives to catch their prey.
The police used a 53-year-old woman with albinism, Eunice Phiri, who was found dead in Kasungu National Park in January as an example.
Reports say that Phiri was lured by three men, her brother inclusive, into accompanying them on a trip to the neighbouring Zambia. She was killed en route to Zambia and her body dismembered. Her brother allegedly received his own share of the money that was gotten from selling her body parts for the part he paid in luring her.
Police also arrested a man, Collin Zulu in central Malawi's district of Dedza who abducted and wante to sell his own son to albino hunters.
The chapter of Association of Persons with Albinism in Malawi (Apam) executive director Boniface Massa said the police was right to say that the official figures of albinos killed or abducted is an underestimate.
"Some victims are abducted or even killed without trace. Some of those who are abducted have never been seen again. Some such incidents are never reported to police," he said.
Massah placed the blame on witch doctors who convince these get-rich-quick people creating the impression that the body parts of albinos constitute potent charms and may even cure HIV and AIDS!
"There are all sorts of baseless misconceptions. They include the wrong belief that having sex with an albino will cure HIV and Aids. Some are hoodwinked into believing that our body parts can make one get rich quickly, either by using parts such as eyes to be visionary and forward-looking. Those are empty lies," he said.

This unfortunate turn out of events prompted the Malawian Police chief Lexen Kachama to issue orders to his officers to "shoot-to-kill those caught in the act of abducting or killing albinos" in order to curtail the horror engulfing the citizens.
"We first heard of such horrible stories of albino abductions and killings in neighbouring Tanzania. The problem has now spilled to Malawi and hence it is important to fight against this criminality aggressively and professionally," said Kachama.
He extended the task to the general public to help the police to put an end to this horror.
"But we need members of the public to support us. The kidnappers live with us in our communities so if we join hands, we can end these horrible attacks and murders," said Kachama.
Meanwhile, it is not surprising to hear that some members of the community have resorted to taking the laws into their hands because they could no longer tolerate the slow pace of justice.
Police confirmed the scorching to death of seven alleged members of an albino hunters gang who were caught in possession of human parts including bones in southern Malawi's border district of Nsanje.

New Delhi, July 17 : CPI (M) general secretary Prakash Karat, who is touring the country extensively to garner support against the Congress-led UPA Government, is not going to West Bengal following anger brewing among the party's Muslim legislators.
A large section of party's Muslim MLAs in West Bengal are strongly opposed to Karat's move to vote on the same side as the BJP during the confidence motion in Loki Sabha and are critical of party's move to "travel" with the communal forces.
Sheikh Mujibar Rahman, a CPI (M) MLA from Midnapore, has gone on record saying: "I do not know how we will tackle this when elections come. There is no denying that a section of Muslim voters have moved away from us."
The Asian Age reported that a large chunk of CPI (M) Muslim legislators share Rahman's sentiments.
A major showdown is expected between moderates and hardliners during the Central Committee meeting of the CPI (M) in New Delhi on July 19 on the contentious issues of voting with the BJP.
CPI (M) Central Committee member Hannan Mollah made it clear that at both the 18th and 19th party congresses of the CPI (M), the "BJP has been branded as enemy number one."
He added: "We have never changed our position. Nor do we intend to."
"It's like the CPI (M) and BJP are travelling in the same train. Don't expect the CPI (M) to jump out of the train because the BJP is a co-passenger," he said. (ANI)

Kellie, you did a great job on the exposure. It probably will depend entirely on the composition of the shot. Since there is white on the face, you will normally want the face to have the best detail. So you will probably find yourself exposing for the white the most. But still try to keep the histogram off balance to the right (if you can) just shy of clipping the white.
thats a terrific shot X.
I took this at an "airshow" here in Bryan, Texas. It is probably a misnomer to call it an airshow, more like a fly-in. anyhoo this is a shot of a Steerman 75 that a friend rebuilt. it took him the better part of 5 years.

These are the station's I play on my Pandora lately along with a few more
Spooky Symphony's (A playlist on Pandora that I found in the halloween section around October. I think they have different playlist year round to suit the nearest holiday.)
I've had the pleasure of enjoying many talented musicians through Pandora and discovering many new bands. Well they're not all new, but new to me.
Lately, I've been listening to a lot of female bands that may fall in the rock/goth/alternative category. I discovered a few of these bands through the blogs I follow, facebook post, YouTube, and friends. I'm always expanding on my music and always looking for new ones.

It's official: the Conservative Government has now released - or at least promised to release - more climate-change plans than there were Police Academy movies. Only unlike Police Academy 7, there is nothing funny about what they are proposing.
Lost in a long-weekend of meaningless polls, amateur political advertising analysis ("clearly the lighting used in the Liberal ads was intended to appeal to female, rural voters...") and dizzying election spin came word that the Harper government is about to make public their climate change plan. This is of course the fourth fall in a row that the Conservatives were on the verge of releasing a climate-change plan but no matter.
What is interesting about this proposed plan (not to confused with the previous plans), is the Conservatives are proposing a two-tiered approach to climate change in Canada; "the Conservatives intend to put a cap on the emissions from Ontario's manufacturing sector and other polluting industries across Canada, while letting oil and gas companies meet less stringent intensity targets which allow output, and pollution, to increase."
As an Ontario based Liberal who cares about climate change, I should of course be outraged by this proposal. Absolute targets for some, intensity targets for the oil sands. How cynical. Moreover, given the importance of the oil sands in Canada's overall emissions growth, how empty and meaningless.
Here's the thing though, if you believe that there is no "contradiction between having a strong environmental commitment to make the oil sands environmentally and socially sustainable, and being a party that believes in a great national industry which is going to be driving growth right across Canada for the next century," then I'm not sure what policy option you can adopt other than having some form of intensity based targets for the oil sands that over 20 years will help slowly make development a bit cleaner but won't - in absolute terms - reduce emissions at all (and in fact will allow total emissions to explode).
Maybe there's somebody smarter than me who can explain to me why I'm wrong but as far as I can tell, it's a binary choice: either you put very strict targets on the oil sands but slow them down (and thus cause at least some economic pain) or you don't. The don't option in this case means Canada will remain a total laggard when it comes to climate change but it will also lead to continued strong growth for the oil sands with resulting economic benefits across the country. Again - maybe there is a way to cut the baby in half and have it both ways, I just have never seen such a proposal before in any detail greater than empty rhetoric.
So while I may not agree with the Conservative plan, there is at least a certain honesty to it: they are choosing continued oil sands development over reducing Canada's emissions in a meaningful way. Ya, they will go tough (maybe) on the manufacturing sector but they have made their decision and the oil sands (and Saskatchewan's natural gas industry) will not be harmed economically on the alter of emissions reductions.
A fair decision. Not the one I would make if I was in charge but that's the Conservative government's decision. Good for them, bad for the environment.
While it is unlikely that the environment will be a major issue this election, that doesn't mean this just goes away politically. Watch for the "counter" position to be placed in the capable hands of Premiers Dalton McGuinty and Jean Charest to articulate and fight for. As I have written previously, environmental federalism is destined to be a dominant issue in Canada over the next decade.

More than 3,300 of the world's top BMX riders will be coming to South Carolina this summer for the 2017 UCI BMX World Championships—and you can have a front-row seat to every jump, bunnyhop and barspin.
This exciting event takes place July 25-30 in Rock Hill's Novant Health BMX Supercross Track, marking the first time in more than 15 years the competition has been held in the USA.
Modeled after the 2008 Beijing Olympic track, the Rock Hill racing facility was designed for speed with a 35-foot initial jump, asphalt turns for acceleration and a heart-stopping berm jump directly over the amateur track.
With more than 40 countries represented, the world championships will be the largest international sporting event in South Carolina history, drawing an expected 20,000 fans.
"We intend to roll out the red carpet for thousands of visitors from around the world and show them the true meaning of 'Southern hospitality'," said Rock Hill Mayor Doug Echols.
Rock Hill will be hosting a wide range of special events and activities during the six-day championships, offering visitors the chance to see the area and experience the community's Southern charm.
The festivities will begin with an opening ceremony Saturday, July 22, in downtown Rock Hill's Fountain Park. The 6-10 p.m. community kickoff will include a presentation of flags from participating countries, more than 40 international food trucks, live music, kids' amusement rides, bike safety programs, a BMX stunt show and autographs from Olympic medalists and elite BMX riders.
Other scheduled events will include historic bike exhibits, cycling-related art shows and activities at the Rock Hill Outdoor Center overlooking the Catawba River.
The action on the track begins July 23 with two days of practice sessions for the challenge classes, followed by four days of amateur racing in several categories, including riders ages 5-11, 12-16 and 17 and older. The final event—the elite rider championships—are scheduled for Saturday, July 29. Click here for updates on the racing schedule.
The only Olympic-caliber BMX training facility on the East Coast, the Novant Health BMX Supercross Track is built to standards set by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the world governing body for the sport of cycling, and includes a unique state-of-the-art surface for smooth and dust-free racing in all weather conditions.
The SX track features a 1,400-foot elite men's track, 1,270-foot elite women's track, 1,200-foot amateur track, 26.3-foot supercross start hill, 16.4-foot amateur start hill and a pump track. Riders of all ages and skill levels can participate in open practices and races held throughout the year. Bike rentals and private instruction also are available.
The BMX Supercross Track is one of several cycling facilities located in the Rock Hill Outdoor Center at Riverwalk. The recreation hub also includes the 250-meter world-class Giordana Velodrome for track cycling, a 1.5-mile closed criterium road course, seven miles of mountain bike trails winding through the woods along the Catawba River and the 2.5-mile multiuse Piedmont Medical Center Trail.

|Year Published
|Available from
An interstellar community operates under many unique restrictions, most notably the fact that it consists of many island-planets set in an ocean of vacuum. Such a society must control of that ocean. Its instrument is the Navy.
Traveller assumes a remote centralized government (referred to in this volume as the Imperium) possessed of great industrial and technological might; but due to the sheer distances and travel times involved within its star-spanning realm, the Imperium is unable to be everywhere at once. As a result, the Imperium allows a large degree of autonomy to its subject worlds, calling only for some respect for its overall policies, and for a united front against outside pressures.
To monitor the space lanes, the Imperium maintains a Navy. Because these forces can never be everywhere at once, local provinces (subsectors) also maintain navies, as do individual worlds. This three tiered structure of Imperial, subsector, and planetary navies produces a flexible system for patrolling space, while putting the limited resources of the Imperium to best use.
High Guard deals with the navies of the Third Imperium, of subsectors, and of worlds.

At Heritage Distilling Company in Gig Harbor, they work hard to keep spirits high.
It's a place of good cheer that's kind of like Santa's workshop, but for grownups.
Owners Justin Stiefel and his wife oversee the operation, where vats of mash turn into minis and big bottles of vodka, gin, and whiskey.
Justin's love for distilling began early as a grade school science project. In less than five years, Justin turned Heritage into the most awarded craft distillery in America.
Playing a huge role in its success is his "Nona" and her long line of relatives.
"My family heritage is Italian so we have named her Nona which means grandmother in Italian," Justin says.
From Nona and the rest, spirits flow freely and that's given birth to a gift never made before in the United States: an advent calendar filled with spirits. Your loved one can punch a tab each day in December and pull out a surprise mini. Or, considering it's nearing the end of the month... maybe they can just eschew formality and pull one out whenever they want.
Justin's "Spirit Advent Calendar" is one way to spread some holiday cheer from a place where passions run high.

The next BioBasics course in New Hampshire will be held June 8-11, 2018. The course will be held at the Indian Head Resort in Lincoln, New Hampshire.
More information will posted soon for the 2018 course. Thank you.
About the BioBasics Program
"The BioBasics program offers undergraduate educational training on teaching of the foundational principles in Osteopathy. The intent of the program is to create a dynamic living curriculum reflecting the principles of Osteopathy in a general practice setting and to provide a community of fellowship oriented toward keeping Osteopathy alive and preserving the "tools of our trade." The structure of the teaching faculty is such that the undergraduate basic educational modules will be made available to students at a reasonable cost. The curriculum is designed to develop a transitional methodology for functional and biodynamic approaches and to use the modules as a means to create and explore language. These modules will also provide the student an opportunity to understand the biomechanical, functional and biodynamic methods as they apply to a specific topic. "This program is given by a group of D.O.'s from all over the United States and abroad. This group has functioned as a community invested in teaching all levels of Osteopathy in an informal setting for many years. This course provides a unique opportunity for mentoring and an expected table trainer to participant ratio of 1:2. All of the teachers at this course are oriented to the general practice of Osteopathy and are fully trained in Biodynamics." ~ James Jealous, DO
The BioBasics program is designed to explore the fundamental topics in the Biodynamic Model of Osteopathy. The material is presented as an introduction to this work, however this course provides an enriching experience for the seasoned practitioner as well. This is possible because of the large number of faculty, their extensive experience with Biodynamics, and the intimate manner of the table training. We have had both faculty and students from all over the United States and internationally. The course is open to US and International Osteopathic and Allopathic physicians and students, as well as dentists and dental students who would like to explore the heart and soul of Osteopathy in a closely supported and guided space with experienced teachers.

"UCL Racing completed the endurance race and obtained 18th place and this would have not been possible without NI's guidance and support throughout the year. The team has had a great experience working with your company and would like to be in touch with you in the future years regarding Formula Student."
"The data acquisition and damper control is handled via real time reconfigurable hardware from National Instruments with all of the required code written by the team using the dataflow language of LabVIEW."
"The CompactRIO was easy to work with and LabVIEW provided an easy format to program with. National Instruments courses and technical assistance really allowed us to maximise our learning potential on the Formula Student Projects."
"NI hardware and software allows us to be open to experimentation and fast adaption, which is very important in automotive development. Using Multisim and LabVIEW software with NI CompanctRIO programmable automation controller (PAC) we were able to simulate the vehicle, collect data and use the data to create customer alarms."
"Compared to systems used in previous years, NI products offer increasing vehicle performance gains because of the versatility of the CompactRIO and LabVIEW. CompactRIO allows shortened calculation time, better system customisation and greater hard drive capacity than our current engine management and control systems."
"Using the CompactRIO, the process of receiving data and controlling the display was vastly simplified. The data acquisition system could be easily adapted and offered room for future expansion. The seamless interaction between the CompactRIO and LabVIEW allowed powerful VIs to be quickly created and implemented."
"Working with a combination of LabVIEW, DIAdem and Single Board RIO has saved us a lot of time. The graphical system design approach has made programming complex systems simple."

Wind Tunnel Walk Around
The wind tunnel used at university faculty, its made mostly of wood and fits a model size of 1/32 in scale. To get a feel of the extent of its size look at the bottom right of the picture and would see a researcher looking into the wind tunnel glass. I would very much like to see a more bigger wind tunnel than this one, a one that can fit a full sized aircraft.
Wind tunnel suction fan, this fan generates the required flow speed to mimc the studied flow conditions, as visible a protect filter is applied to the suction therefore not to people and objects into the wind tunnel.
Choosing the scaled down model to run tests on. If I am not mistaken this Truck is in size 1/32 in scale, a real life truck ranges in length from 17.5 to 18.5 m.
Inserting the model inside the wind tunnel before running tests.

Through therapy, I learned how to manage my stress and anxiety, and how to work towards solving my problems instead of letting them run my life. In my case, therapy also changed the course of my career. After years working in the high tech industry, I decided to pursue a career as a therapist. Now I am able to help others and be part of this amazing profession.
(408) 550-3315 email@example.com
My credentials & experience.
I graduated from Santa Clara University with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology in 2004.
I opened my private practice in 2007, where I see couples, families, adults and adolescents; in addition, I have worked as an on-site therapist at the middle schools and high schools.
At a time when my life was difficult and challenging, this quote had me looking at my problems in a different way. Could I change my situation, or did I need to change how I managed it? How could I figure it out, it seemed so overwhelming.

On Feb. 7, for no apparent reason, Ian declared it "Treat Yo'Self Day." To start it off, he texted me while I was at work and asked if I would join him for lunch and a trip to the toy store to purchase Lego, and, of course, I said "HECK YES!" (Lego and deli sandwiches equal a very happy Nicole.) So, off we went. We ate our favourite sandwiches and then perused the Lego, debating back and forth over which kits to buy. Being the mountain adventurer that I am, I chose the Mountain Cabin Creator kit, while Ian picked one from the Lego movie. The day continued on with many more treats, including some new records from the secondhand shop in town and a delicious meal at one of my favourite restaurants in town. Oh! And it was also my second night of drinking since my 30-day sobriety. Yup, lots and lots of wonderful treats.
Because my life is so nutty busy, it wasn't until two days later that Ian and I sat down and Lego-ed it up. We spent the entire afternoon together, hanging out in the living room, listening to our new records and building our kits. I know this will sound crazy, but, this was my first ever kit. We had a boatload of Lego growing up, but we never received kits, so I have never built something from an instruction book. I gotta say, it was awesome! And I'm super stoked with my cabin, which, by the way, has an awesome fireplace and steer head mantlepiece.

Too few small charities are engaging in significant collaboration with their counterparts, a new report warns.
The paper, published as part of this week's Small Charity Week by the Foundation for Social Improvement, which supports small charities, says a lack of collaboration risks "losing sight of the end game of a more sustainable small charity sector equipped with not only the solutions, but also the resources to implement change for the most vulnerable in our society".
The report, which is based on research carried out with more than 700 small charities, says it was found that about a third of respondents did not collaborate with other charities at all.
It says that of the 66 per cent of respondents that were involved in any form of collaboration, 90 per cent said they took part in networking activities.
Only 5 per cent of those charities involved in collaboration were involved in a merger, researchers found.
"Not enough small charities are committing sufficient resource to the development of significant collaborations when the benefits of doing so could prove vital to the continued successful delivery of services and improved impact on beneficiaries," the report says.
"This may be due to limited resources, passionate but overworked teams or the reluctance of trustees, who are themselves working in an ever-increasingly challenging environment, to explore the possibilities and take opportunities that may carry a financial risk.
"The reality is that if we fail to collaborate we are at risk of losing sight of the end game – a more effective and sustainable small charity sector equipped with not only the solutions but also the resources to implement change for the most vulnerable in our society."
The FSI said there was a lack of collaboration even though its research showed that one in 10 charities saw closure as "likely".
Pauline Broomhead, chief executive of FSI, said: "The results from the research indicate, quite strongly, that small charities don't collaborate enough in any meaningful way.
"This is a real loss for the sector because there is no doubt that small charities are extremely good at coming up with solutions to some of the most serious social problems facing the world today.
"If we don't collaborate, genuinely start to share our knowledge and learning with each other, we will miss out on a vital opportunity and waste time on superficial partnerships that don't add any real and lasting value to the support and services we deliver."

As we continue our Worship–Part 3: The Lord's Supper and Baptism! focus, we turn again today to APPLICATION. Today's application project is similar to yesterday's, except instead of focusing on the Lord's Supper, we will be focusing on baptism. You may want to review days three and four. Since, as we said yesterday, One-to-One is designed to help us come to know Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, and then to grow to become more and more like Jesus, it is important to understand baptism's role in our lives. After reviewing day three and four's information, do you have any additional understanding of baptism in your life? For example, do you see it as more or less important than you did before? What, if anything, can being baptized (if you have not been baptized to this point) do to deepen your relationship with Jesus and/or your obedience to Him? What does an understanding of baptism have to do with your commitment to Jesus as Savior and Lord, or in deepening that commitment? Take the time to reflect on these questions, and to write responses to them. Then be sure to act on any applications that come from them.
Heavenly Father, Thank You for sending Jesus to save us from sin and death and give us new life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may honor You in all I do. This I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

Sometimes, there's so much going on in this city that it's hard to keep on top of it all. Fortunately, the folks behind the New Zealand Festival are here to help - with the launch of The Culture Club.
Joining The Culture Club gives you VIP access to the best of Wellington's arts happenings, including talks, debates, performances and parties - as well putting you to the front of the queue for the best seats at the New Zealand Festival, Writers Week, the Wellington Jazz Festival, and more. You can sign up for as little as $5 per month, and by doing so, you're helping to ensure that the Festival can continue to bring all these events to the capital (while keeping ticket prices reasonable).
That last bit is important: for every dollar the New Zealand Festival brings in through ticket sales, it needs to find another two dollars from somewhere else. Your $5 (or more, if you like) goes towards filling that gap, as well as making you part of an exclusive club. There's even a newsletter - a weekly dose of news and culture, curated by the Festival's Content Editor, Guy Somerset.
Need an extra incentive? The first special deal for The Culture Club members is priority access to two just-announced shows in next year's Festival - a double bill of dance works from acclaimed German choreographer Pina Bausch, and a new light and sound installation from the artists behind 2014's popular Power Plant.
A company of 36 dancers will present Bausch's Café Müller and The Rite of Spring, two of her signature works from the 1970s - the first time her works have been performed in New Zealand, and only the second time in Australasia. This rare treat for fans of contemporary dance will be accompanied by a season of films, including Wim Wenders 2011 documentary, Pina.
As for the Power Plant people? This time, they're turning their attention to Otari-Wilton Bush, and during March 2016 will be transforming it by night into a light and sound extravaganza, For the Birds. Carefully designed to fit in with its beautiful setting (and to respect the flora and fauna therein), this promises to be a thoroughly enchanting sensory experience.
All in all, The Culture Club looks like a great way to stay informed about what's going on in Wellington (alongside reading Word on the Street, that is…). You can sign up here.
