A king travels through the desert, when he suddenly discovers a man captured under a big rock, he throws a rope around the rock and ties it to his horse and pulls the rock off the man. The man, grateful as he is, tells the king that he's really a great sorcerer, and gives the king three wishes.
The king looks at the Sorcerer and says "OK, then I wish to be immortal".
The sorcerer replies "Puff, it's done."
The king takes a knife and stabs himself and nothing happens, then he says "OK, then I want my horse to be immortal."
The sorcerer replies "Puff, it's done".
The king, happy as can be, stabs his horse and nothing happens, then he says "OK, then I want my horses genitals."
The sorcerer replies "Puff, it's done".
The king, still happy, jumps on his horse and rides back to his castle, in the doorway he meets his friend Peter, jumps off the horse and tells Peter that he's now immortal. Peter laughs, but the king gives Peter his knife and says "Here stab me with the knife."
Peter stabs the king as ordered and nothing happens, then the king shows Peter that his horse also is immortal, and replies "That's not even the best part look at this" and the king drops his pants.
Peter looks at the naked king and screams out loud "Damn that's the biggest pussy I've ever seen..."

Write Once, Work Many
June 29th. 2015
One of the most requested customizations S+C has encountered through the years is the need to display data on a variety of mobile platforms. Historically, this has been a less-than-desirable undertaking: disparity amongst mobile OSes and device sizes meant that the most effective way of displaying and exchanging data with your management system was through a web page. While being the best available solution in most cases, it was not without drawbacks: an extra level of user interface leads to additional development and maintenance costs. Microsoft has a series of Line of Business products - the most recent release of their Dynamics NAV 2015 product includes a Tablet Client. This release is a step towards resolving these issues by allowing users to adopt a "write once, work many" mentality.
The best way to think of the various Clients (Role Tailored, Web, and Tablet) is that they are specialized display engines. When a developer creates a Page object (the interface that the users interact with), it is stored in a language called Extensible Markup Language, or XML. There is nothing special that a developer needs to do to "compile for Tablet" – the XML typically isn't even visible to them. Now, when a user requests a Page, this XML is what the server sends for the Client to use for presenting data to the user. That is, the same XML will appear differently on each Client, as each one has different rules for rendering XML.
With that being said, there are some limitations when using the Web or Tablet interface. For example, some of the major differences between the Role Tailored and Tablet Client:
However, with proper solution planning most of these differences are avoidable. For example, it's important to remember that the Tablet Client is designed with a "touch" experience in mind - the lack of a proper keyboard makes repetitive data-entry tasks non-optimal for mobile. So, when designing a solution that you intend to deploy to multiple Clients (RTC, Web, Tablet), the best methodology is to change the user's workflow so that:
Overall, the release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 is an exciting time for Partners – a reduction in development cycles generally leads to improved ROI for clients. And, it's important to remember that

I've always had this feeling in my gut, that the Flovent inhaler Anthony was on for 3 years, was a game player in his medical issues he has had to endure.
Anthony was on Flovent from a week after he came home from the NICU, till he was 3 years old due to premature lungs and scarring. He was on it daily for at least a year. As he aged, Anthony took it a couple times a week. Finally his doctor took him off of it.
But when Anthony was six, he came down with pneumonia. His pediatrician at the time, prescribed Flovent for inflammation. While the Flovent did help his horrible intense coughing, his speech started to tank. He came to me after being on the inhaler for 3 days and told me he was having a hard time speaking. That the words wouldn't come out of his head. This freaked me out!! The idea that my son could be regressing and that his severe speech apraxia he worked so hard to overcome, could come back….. Well, I stopped the Flovent and thankfully, this side effect went away. And he recovered from his pneumonia. This whole experience made me start to question the Flovent medication. Was it the flovent that gave Anthony such bad speech apraxia to begin with many years ago?
After that illness, I felt like Anthony's health took a turn for the worse. My gut feeling was now even stronger! I knew in some way the Flovent inhaler was responsible for the medical issues Anthony had gone through. But how…. I wasn't yet sure.
The last six months have been mind blowing! Dr. Catanzaro has shown me so much when it comes to Anthony's genes. Anthony's 23andMe test shows, genetically he already has a some what fragile thyroid. A Thyroid that wouldn't take much to send it over the edge.
What I do know now, is back in the NICU, Anthony's TSH levels were .58. Within normal range. So something happened to him after he left the NICU and before he turned 3 years old. Something sent his thyroid over the edge. When I found out from our current pediatrician that Anthony's iodine levels were low, it provided me another piece of the puzzle…..
So here is what we think happened with Flovent.
I have also run this past Dr. Catanzaro and he agree's and says this is good thought process.
- Anthony is put on Flovent because of premature lungs
- Flovent contains…..wait for it….. FLUORIDE!! You can google that!
- Fluoride inhibits iodine absorption and binding in the body.
- And what happens when your thyroid is full of fluoride? Your thyroid has issues absorbing iodine! Your thyroid NEEDS iodine to function!
- The Thyroid has to work harder to function. So your pituitary has to send out more TSH! Hence elevated TSH levels.
You can read more here
Dr. Catanzaro and Anthony's Integrative pediatrician both agreed he needs some iodine and selenium supplementation. We have been using both for about a month. I'm going very slowly with the iodine and have him up to 1/2 a capsule of IThroid. Besides some night sweats that he had in the beginning (detox of fluoride and bromine) He's doing VERY VERY well.
Dr. Mercola has written an article about fluoride effecting thyroid. Here are some interesting points he makes:
"For a 14 kg (30 pound) child, fluoride intakes greater than 0.7 mg per day (or 0.14 mg per day with iodine deficiency) puts the child at risk for endocrine dysfunction. The EPA (2010) estimates children within this weight range (1-3 year-olds) consume over 1.5 mg fluoride each day, or more than twice the amount necessary to induce altered thyroid function, even with an adequate iodine intake."
And lookie there….. there's that glucose tolerance issue Anthony has……..
"In addition, the NRC discussed research linking fluoride to impacts on parathyroid activity, impairment of glucose tolerance,"
This Video also shares some good info on Fluoride and it's effect on the Thyroid
So I guess to summarize this post of mine up, Flovent and genetic susceptibility is the culprit for Anthony. While many place vaccines as the only cause of their child's regression. We also must consider there can be other factors (medications) too. For my sons case, we never saw the regression after a vax. I don't say that to discount what others say about vaccines. I agree, actually. I'm just saying for my son, that was never the case. I always knew in my gut, it was something else.
We must remember, "Autism" is a clinical diagnosis, based on behaviors. Based on a doctor or therapist in a room with your child watching and analyzing them. This diagnosis is rarely given based on test results to see what is ACTUALLY going on inside the child's body. If you run the testing, you will see that "autism" isn't strictly neurological. There are other issues going on. Weather it be genetic, vitamin deficiencies, mitochondrial dysfunction, or all 3…… Just do the testing! I promise you will find answers!

The only constant of people is their inconsistency.
Truth is that your only problem is getting attached.
Is it true that all of us are, at one level or another, attached to a routine? The sure destiny of tomorrow, predicted events, what happened yesterday is likely to happen today and as likely to happen tomorrow, at least taking a higher scale of events. Even if you like surprises and unexpected issues, you cannot deny that they give you a sense of uneasiness, even in the slightest.
That gets to a point where you are stuck in a feeling of a comfortable routine with people. They help you go about your daily life; with some of them you feel like you're a married couple. Together at breakfast, lunch, dinner, together in the same clubs, together in the same classes. They are a constant presence and help that you can count on no matter what. You get attached to these presences and to these people; to the good part you see.
You get to believe in it. You believe in this sacred comfort, and it just gets engrained deeper and deeper in your bones, in your brain.
Love, that feeling you used to get with all of them, all of your friends, all your colleagues, it stops being about excitement, visiting places, having fun, enjoying anymore. It turns into being about homework help, and complaining about workload, and always seeing them in the same place in a classroom or at the same lunch table every. single. day. And after, you get tired and annoyed with each other, because when you see someone you know that after 'Hey' comes 'Oh my God I am so tired' and pointless talk. There is too much time and nothing to say, so you fill it with boring conversation which instead of tightening the bond between you, drives you further and further apart.
Them being sad is perhaps my worst nightmare. Seeing that spark in people's eyes go away, seeing that happiness and that excitement draining like from that broken shower pipe no one fixed because we were all either too busy or too tired to tell the houseparents. And you realize that the problem might come from you. Perhaps you are the tired one, the empty one, the sad one. And you take a break, a few days without seeing them and that break is heaven, because you know that when you come back, they will be there, even louder, smiling brighter. And life has colours again.
Anyway, none of us want to acknowledge the fact that one break we won't come back. All those people will be long gone, with their smiles and their sparks, away to great destinies, on a journey to change the world. None of us want to think that these people here, now, the solid beings under your hands every day, will at some point leave and vanish with the wings of an airplane. And you try to tell yourself that there is no point in getting attached and you should back down.
The truth is that you love them anyway.

Corsair is a brand that was known for their power supplies and RAMs, but they've since ventured into the gaming peripheral niche. Knowing the company, they've built some solid peripherals in a short span of time and that is why I am excited to review their Corsair Void RGB Wireless Gaming Headset.
Is the Corsair Void Wireless good headphones for gaming? Does it follow the great standards that the company is known for? We will find out in this article.
Before anything else, I would like to talk about the Design first.
The Design
Of all the gaming headsets I've tried, the Corsair Void is probably the one with the most peculiar design. Instead of having that usually rounded shape for the ear cups, the Void has more of a kite-like appearance.
Despite its odd shape, I find the Corsair Void to fit my ears just fine. Although you have to note that some people find this odd design uncomfortable. If you can, try this headset first before making the purchase. But for the most part, if you have a medium-sized head, this headset should fit just fine.
Now, early batches of the Corsair Void Wireless are shipped with the black and yellow color scheme. But, the company has since changed that and they are now shipping both black/yellow and all black designs. Anyway, the earpads of the Void are memory foam for a better comfortable feel. If you prefer leather ear pads, then you may want to look for another gaming headset.
On the underside of the headband, you will find the reinforced memory foam padding that feels great to the touch, especially when you're planning for long gaming marathons. In terms of overall comfort, the Corsair Void is surprisingly comfortable given its odd-shaped ear cups. I do not find the ear cups much of a nuisance and I actually like the memory foam padding because it allows my ears to breathe; eliminating the need to take off the headset from time to time.
Gaming headsets are called as such because they come with a microphone that you can use to communicate with other people. The Corsair Void does have a gaming microphone, but the sad thing is that you can only fold them in or out when using it. Why is it sad? Because you can see the microphone even when it is folded to the side. I am not against the idea, but the microphone is just too ugly to look at and can hinder the RGB lighting as well.
Anyway, despite the annoyance I've had with the microphone, it does have some nifty functionality. Corsair deemed this as the "Infomic" which basically has an LED light that tells you that some features are turned on or off. More on this later in the article.
On the left ear cup, you will find the mic mute, power button, a rocker switch, and the micro USB port. The rocker switch allows you to cycle through the different EQ settings you've saved on the CUE (Corsair Utility Engine) software, as well as it allows you to change the volume of the headset. Furthermore, it also allows you to turn on the 7.1 surround sound feature by pressing it for a few seconds.
The Features
One of the biggest features of the Corsair Void is its "InfoMic". As previously mentioned, the InfoMic is essentially just an LED indicator that tells you the different pertinent information you want to know without firing up the CUE software. For example, the InfoMic tells you if the Dolby Surround sound is enabled. It will also tell you what EQ setting you're currently on. These are just some of the nifty information the InfoMic can tell you. They are pretty handy, but I do have to point out that the LED indicator is a bit small.
Anyway, RGB peripherals have slowly become mainstream and Corsair wants you to enjoy that impressive 16.8 million color light show when using the Void Wireless gaming headset. The part that will illuminate are just the Corsair "Sails" logo on each can and you can configure its manner of illumination from within the Corsair Utility Engine.
The Corsair Void also has an impressive battery life. Even though the company has rated this to last up to 16 hours, I was able to achieve more than 17 hours of battery and that's even with the RGB lighting turned on! Obviously, you can get more battery life if you turn off the feature, but I am pretty well impressed with the longevity. Now, if you forgot to charge your battery (I admit, I do forget at times), do not worry. You can still use the gaming headset when you wire it up for charging.
When you plug the headset into your computer for the first time, it will ask you to update the firmware, so be sure to do so.
Wireless Connectivity
The Corsair Void comes with a USB dongle. There is just something I want to point out in that the actual dongle is a bit long for my tastes. Still, it provides a considerable range of up to 40 feet. I've walked about 35 feet away from my PC with some walls blocking the path and I can attest to the range of the gaming headset.
Furthermore, it has an impressive battery life that can last up to 20 hours without the RGB lighting. You have to note, however, that the USB dock for the dongle should be placed in a position where the dongle can be seen without anything blocking it. This is just to help improve the range.
The Sound Quality
Now onto the part that you've been waiting for. How does the Corsair Void Wireless perform in terms of audio quality? I must say that for a $100 gaming headset, the sound is pretty good. It has a neutral sound, but once you crank up those EQ settings, it provides a well-rounded sound signature.
Because of its output, the Corsair Void does lack some bass. It is not as punchy as other gaming headsets out there. So, if you're a guy who's bass-heavy, then the Corsair Void may not be for you. Having a neutral-sounding headset is actually a plus for me. This is because the highs, mids, and the bass can be heard without one overpowering the other.
This translates to better overall sound. Whether you're playing your games, listening to music, or watching your favorite movies or TV series, the Corsair Void Wireless has got you covered. Just don't expect too much bass because you aren't going to get it with this one. Do remember that the Corsair Void has the 7.1 Dolby Surround sound technology. Unfortunately, it is a bit underwhelming, at least, when compared to other gaming headsets such as the Razer Kraken Pro.
The 7.1 Surround sound is okay, but not something to brag about.
The Microphone
I have to be honest with you, if the Corsair Void had a weakness, it would be the microphone. The microphone is good, but it is a bit tinny for my taste. Although it does provide a clear sound, meaning, people on the other end will be able to grasp what you're saying, the quality is just subpar.
Furthermore, the placement and the fact that the microphone looks ugly is just a huge letdown for me. But hey, given that this gaming headset costs only $100, who am I to complain?
Note: even though it is not mentioned in the product's documentation, the microphone of the Corsair Void can actually be bent slightly for optimal performance. Just want to let you guys know.

Corsair has proven that a good gaming headset need not be expensive to have impressive features. The Corsair Void costs only $100. It has RGB lighting, a sturdy build quality, an impressive neutral sound, extensive companion software, an impressive wireless range with an equally impressive battery life, and it also has the Dolby 7.1 surround sound support.
With all of those features on a $100 gaming headset? Corsair has made a huge statement that you can indeed get a quality gaming headset without the heavy price tag.

Haynes International, Inc., Kokomo, IN
The present paper discusses several modern wrought superalloys that are being used for various hot gas path components in modern gas turbines. HAYNES® 230™ alloy (Ni-22Cr-14W-2Mo) is used for combustors and transition pieces to replace an old combustor alloy, HASTELLOY® X alloy (Ni-22Cr-19Fe-9Mo), because of higher creep-rupture strength, better oxidation resistance, higher low-cycle fatigue resistance, and other improved properties. The alumina forming HAYNES 214™ alloy (Ni-16Cr-3Fe-4.5Al-Y) replaces HASTELLOY X for honeycomb seals because of its superior oxidation resistance. HAYNES 242™ alloy (Ni-8Cr-25Mo), strengthened by a long-range ordered phase Ni2(Cr,Mo) with low thermal expansion and high strength, is used for turbine casings and seal rings. A less expensive, nitride-strengthened Fe-Ni-Cr alloy, HAYNES HR-120™ alloy, offers an attractive upgrade to many stainless steels and some Ni-base alloys for less demanding, hot section components.

Kaalus never fails to amaze me. Just got off work earlier, checked my Google news feed and saw his blog post titled, "This is what I am working on". To no surprise I immediately clicked it and sure enough, the big new feature is multiplayer… well sort of.
It's not multiplayer in the sense of wireless communication between two devices. Instead, it's more of an old-school split screen multiplayer like the way people used to play multiplayer video games on consoles before the internet got a hold of them.
But it's definitely a start! I'm sure we'll get more details later, but for now we know that, on Windows 10 at least, player 1 will use the keyboard and mouse, and everyone else will use separate gamepads. Not sure if this can be changed though, for example whether player 2 could work keyboard instead, or perhaps whether it can be ditched all together.
I'm hoping the game makes its way to the Amazon Fire TV. I have the device myself, and used to like playing Minecraft on it before Mojang/Microsoft decided to make the game a separate $20 purchase for the system, even though I own the game on my Fire tablet. I know they've got to make that two and a half billion dollars back, but man, $20 is still a lot despite all that they've added since Microsoft's acquisition of Mojang. Kaalus did a ton with Survivalcraft 2 it's still only $3.99 (however I make no promise the price won't go up).
Oh well, enough of my rambling, let's talk about our new site. Most of the magnificent work was done by Kria Nukkao. She's paying for the web host at current, and she practically built the site by herself while I sat back and pretended that I was in charge. Even the background header video was done by her, with the music composed by her as well. I only made a few edits on the site here and there where I thought was necessary.
I do hope you take pleasure when visiting our new site. We're always open to suggestions, and our goal is to be the #1 go-to place for your Survivalcraft-related needs.

The dynamic nature of the Meeting, Incentives, Convention and Exhibition (MICE) industry requires one to be highly versatile as the work environment could be very volatile. As the work is often fast-paced and unpredictable, effective communication and strong interpersonal skills often play a central role in facilitating greater job efficiency within a team. These skills become even more crucial when the team is faced with tight project deadlines, as such skills will reduce the likelihood for miscommunication and misunderstanding, therefore allowing for a seamless event delivery.
Project Thematic Focus
Although a team may be well-oiled, the situation may change abruptly if the team leader is removed from the group. The remaining team members would now be expected to work with and provide support to a new team leader, resulting in a rise of discomfort or even unhappiness. Similarly, the new team leader would feel some resistance or reluctant when attempting to command respect from the team. This is made tougher as the team may have set a benchmark for what they deem as a "good" leader.
The challenge of interpersonal communication arises when the new leader, or manager, is not accustomed to the team's working style. This may lead the team to view the manager as being uninterested in "blending in" or it may even induce them to "outcast" the manager, causing the team to become divided. In other circumstances, team members may also choose to resign if they feel displaced or are no longer recognised. This can be highly destructive for the team as it not only affects their communication, it will also impact the overall team dynamics, efficiency, productivity, morale and ultimately, bottom-line. The low quality of work output could consequently jeopardize the organisation operating performance.
Objective and Scope of Study
This study will identify several approaches by which new managers can adopt when attached to a new team. The principles discussed in the study will help new team managers understand the concept behind the act of nurturing a healthy relationship with their new colleagues. The principles also aims to minimize the attrition rate faced by organisations, which will eventually result in overall financial savings, in term of cost in hiring and training of new staff.
The N.I.E Principle
The team has developed a framework for new managers to bridge their relationship with new team members by adopting the 'N.I.E' principles. N.I.E represents noble goals, interdependence and empathy.
Noble goals refer to the commitment of actions by the manager to serve the colleague while upholding certain ideals and integrity. The implementation of noble goal requires values of both the manager and team member to be aligned in order to shape the long-term strategy of the team. Most importantly, the action does not carry any bias against anyone within the team (Berman-Rubera, 2012). The purpose of exercising this principle is to ensure that the manager takes into consideration how he can assist each employee to achieve their ultimate goals, instead of just focusing on his own personal growth.
Secondly, interdependence refers to the manager's consciousness of how their actions can later impact his team. Interdependence is important as it can impact the degree and quality of interaction shared between team members (Campion, Medsker, & Higgs 1993). Research has also shown that when a team perceive their goals are positively aligned to the manager, they will be more motivated to find ways in which mutual goals can be achieved (Deutsch, 1973). This would consequently result in an integration of ideas which would create an avenue for the team and the managers to engage in more team learning activities together (Runhaar et. al, 2014). Findings from a survey conducted by Fierce, Inc (2011) has shown that 90-percent of respondents believe that decision makers (i.e. managers) should seek out other opinion before making a final decision. However, almost 40-percent felt that their managers has failed to exercise such practice.
Lastly, a manager who exercises empathy is required to use his emotional awareness to guide him when making choices. A manager with the ability to empathize with his colleagues will show that he is not focused purely on the results, but instead, include the feelings of his fellow team mate. Research has shown that managers need to exercise empathy to show their team members that he cares for their needs and achievement (Bass, 1985). Fortunately, empathy can be learned as it is not a fixed trait (Shapiro, 2002). With sufficient time and training, managers can develop and enhance their empathy skills in order to be a better manager.
Implementing the Principles
When entering a new team, the manager should conduct a self-introduction of himself and display enthusiasm and interest in getting to know his fellow team member. This includes finding out and understanding each team member's strengths and weaknesses (or perhaps what they don't enjoy doing). By doing so, the manager outlines how he could equip each team member to grow and improve on their weaknesses, while continuing to develop on their strength.
To discern team members' personal working style and attitude towards the job, the manager is encouraged to sit down with the employee and have a one-to-one conversation outside of the job parameter. By doing so, the manager demonstrates that everyone has a part to play in shaping a team setting, and everybody's actions can affect the team's performance one way or another.
As a manager, he must also understand that his decisions will have implications on the team. If the decision made is not aligned with the team members, it may affect the project outcome (short-term), or the interpersonal relationship between the team and him (long term).
As every individual has their own feelings and problems, it is essential for the manager to show empathy towards each of the team member. By doing so, the manager shows that he is trying to place himself into their shoes to understand their point of view or concern before jumping into conclusion.
Ultimately, the performance of the whole team will reflect the manager's ability to perform. Hence, as the team lead, it is essential that the team does well and progresses together.
Benefits to the workplace
The application of the N.I.E principles will assist a new manager to assimilate well into an existing well-bonded team. This would support the formation of an efficacious team who are able to work collectively to meet tight project deadlines and tough organisational demands. The easy relationship between team members and the team lead would also culminate in a highly effective and efficient team. Thus, the N.I.E principles help improve the overall team dynamics, efficiency, productivity and morale which was highlighted earlier.
Research Methodology
The study is also supported with primary research data. An interview was conducted with Mr Johnny Yip, operations manager of Singapore Polytechnic Graduate Guild, who have had experience in joining a well-integrated team. The thoughts and views shared on the importance of integrating well into a new team resonates with the N.I.E principles that was discussed above.
Concluding Thoughts
The turnover rate in the hospitality industry is high and this applies to the MICE sector as well. As a result, more attentions need to be directed into this area so that incoming managers can better integrate into the existing team. In doing so, it will help to mitigate employees' attrition, which can be very expensive and time consuming for the organisation to hire and re-train new staff. The N.I.E principles assist organisations, especially those in the hospitality industry, to address this situation and rehabilitate it to increase the overall efficiency of the organisation.

If you followed along on Instagram this past weekend, Karen and Cherish, who run The Old Town Flea Market together, took a quick trip to Scottsdale, AZ! Now I'd love to say they came to see me, well because, I'm great! :) But as it turns out they were here to check out the "Junk in the Trunk" vintage market. And maybe me... even if only a little.
Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market just celebrated its 5th anniversary and has grown from a small backyard event to a large 3 day vintage market with over 150 vendors and 25,000 attendees. Karen & Cherish were on a mission to get ideas and inspiration for our show in Old Town Clovis on November 5th & 6th. We all sharpened our pencils and a variety took notes from vendors, attendees and even one of the event partners. If you ever are in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, we highly encourage you to attend this event held twice annually. You can also follow them on Instagram @junkinthetrunkvintagemarket.
We found so many great things this weekend and trust me... Karen wishes she could take them home with her, but I'm not sure you can check a table at the airport. A lot of the things we found were SUPER cool and very similar to what is sold at The Old Town Flea Market, such as; funky world globes with hand-lettered quotes, locally made leather purses, and anything you could imagine that is chippy, rusty and vintage!
Here are a couple of things that I was able to snag for me and my dorm room at GCU! Once I saw the "Vote 4 Junk '16" I LOVED it! How funny is that? And talk about being creative.
This weekend wasn't all about Junk in the Trunk though, we shopped, ate, and hot tubed a lot. I have to say the best part of the weekend was coming together with my family for dinner. My brother and I are about 90 miles apart in Arizona for college and having my mom and brother at the same table for dinner makes me miss my home. <3
We love hearing from you guys! If there is anything you want us to blog about specifically. Stick around later this week I'll let you know how we pick our brands.

TRENTON, NJ — The ninth and final defendant in the Birdsall Services Group's pay-to-play scheme has pleaded guilty to participating in the illegal activity in which more than $1 million in corporate political contributions were illegally made through company employees, according to the N.J. Office of the Attorney General.
Alan Hilla, 77, of Jupiter, Fla., entered the guilty plea on July 7 to a charge of second-degree misconduct by a corporate official before Superior Court Judge Wendel E. Daniels in Ocean County. Under the plea agreement, the state will recommend that he be sentenced to five years in state prison.
Hilla indicated he plans to apply for a suspended sentence, citing health issues. Judge Daniels scheduled sentencing for September 1,.
The former Brielle resident is the final defendant in the case against BSG — the now-closed Monmouth County-based engineering firm — and nine of its top executives.
"The many guilty pleas we have secured in this case hammer home an important message that criminal schemes aimed at evading New Jersey's pay-to-play laws will be met with stern punishment," said Attorney General Christopher Porrino. "Our laws prevent politically connected firms from garnering public contracts based on campaign contributions, but Birdsall's executives gamed the system and secured millions of dollars in contracts for which they should have been disqualified.
"My office recently announced two anti-corruption programs — a reward program offering up to $25,000 for tips about public corruption, as well as a whistleblower program that allows lower-level participants in a corruption scheme to potentially avoid prosecution by self-reporting," Porrino added. "I urge people to help us and help themselves by taking advantage of these programs, which expire on August 1."
Deputy Attorney General Anthony A. Picione, chief of the Corruption Bureau, and Deputy Attorneys General Mallory Shanahan, Brian Faulk and Charles Wright are prosecuting the case and took the guilty plea for the Division of Criminal Justice. The charge was contained in a March 26, 2013 indictment, which also charged BSG and six other executives and shareholders. Two other defendants pleaded guilty pre-indictment. The charges stemmed from an investigation by the Division of Criminal Justice Corruption Bureau, which found that the defendants conspired to avoid the restrictions of New Jersey's pay-to-play laws by disguising illegal corporate political contributions as personal contributions of employees.
"New Jersey's pay-to-play laws seek to ensure fair and open public contracting, free of the sway of political interests," said Elie Honig, director of the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ). "By criminally prosecuting this firm and sending many of its top executives to prison, we have given those laws real teeth."
Individuals may report information and apply for the Anti-Corruption Reward Program or Anti-Corruption Whistleblower Program by August 1 by one of the following methods:
- Call the DCJ hotline 866-TIPS-4CJ to speak with detectives 24 hours/7 days a week; or
- Visit www.njdcj.org to submit an online report.
BSG pleaded guilty on June 13, 2013 to charges of first-degree money laundering and second-degree making false representations for government contracts. As a result of its plea, BSG paid two major criminal penalties: a $500,000 public corruption profiteering penalty and a $500,000 anti-money laundering profiteering penalty. In each instance, the penalty was the maximum amount authorized by law. BSG also paid the state $2.6 million to settle a civil forfeiture action filed by the Attorney General's Office in connection with the criminal case.
Eight other executives, shareholders and managers of the Birdsall firm previously pleaded guilty:
- On April 22, 2016, Howard Birdsall of Brielle, formerly CEO and largest shareholder of BSG, was sentenced to four years in prison on a charge of second-degree misconduct by a corporate official. He paid $49,808 to the state in forfeiture of his illegal political contributions.
- On June 10, 2016, Thomas Rospos of Belmar, formerly executive vice president of BSG and its second largest shareholder, was sentenced to three years in prison on a charge of third-degree tampering with public records or information. He paid $150,000 in forfeiture of his illegal contributions.
- On July 11, 2016, William Birdsall of Manchester, formerly senior vice president and a large shareholder of BSG, was sentenced to 270 days in the county jail and two years of probation on a charge of third-degree misconduct by a corporate official. He paid $129,115 in forfeiture of his illegal contributions, as well as a $75,000 public corruption profiteering penalty.
- On June 2, Robert Gerard of Wall, former Chief Marketing Officer for BSG, was sentenced to 270 days in the county jail and two years of probation on a fourth-degree charge of making prohibited corporate political contributions through employees. He forfeited $86,200.
- On June 2, James Johnston of New Brunswick, former President of the Environmental Services Group within BSG, was sentenced to 270 days in the county jail and two years of probation on a fourth-degree charge of making prohibited corporate political contributions through employees. He forfeited $93,720.
- On Jan. 6, 2016, Scott MacFadden of Brick, former chief administrative officer of BSG, pleaded guilty to third-degree misconduct by a corporate official. He faces a recommended sentence of up to 364 days in jail and a term of probation. He must pay $30,000 in forfeiture of his contributions.
- On Nov. 30, 2012, Philip Angarone of Hamilton, the former marketing director for BSG, pleaded guilty to third-degree tampering with public records or information and fourth-degree making prohibited corporate political contributions through employees. He is awaiting sentencing and faces a sentence of up to 364 days in jail and a term of probation. He must forfeit $26,775.
- On Feb. 12, 2013, Eileen Kufahl of Bradley Beach, a former marketing manager for Birdsall, pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree charge of making prohibited corporate contributions through employees. She forfeited $17,119 and was admitted into the Pre-Trial Intervention Program.
Under the alleged scheme, instead of Birdsall Services Group making corporate political contributions to campaigns and political organizations that would disqualify it from public contracts awarded by certain government agencies, shareholders and employees of the firm made personal political contributions of $300 or less, which are deemed unreportable. Multiple personal checks were bundled together at Birdsall Services Group and sent to the appropriate campaign or political organization. The shareholders and employees were then illegally reimbursed by Birdsall Services Group, directly or indirectly, through added bonus payments, and the firm falsely omitted the illegally reimbursed contributions in documents filed with the Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC) and with government agencies that awarded the firm engineering services contracts. The scheme continued for more than six years and involved more than $1 million in contributions.
