An investigation into local development organizations (LDCs) in Monroe County saw four more arrests today. Robert Wiesner, husband of County Executive Maggie Brooks was included in the group facing criminal charges.
Charges brought against the four by the state Attorney General's office include money laundering, conspiracy, and falsifying business records.
Wiesner, a retired Rochester police captain was arraigned Wednesday along with Daniel Lynch, Nelson Rivera, and John Maggio.
All four men pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them.
The Attorney General's office claims the group was involved in a scheme to rig the bidding process for multimillion dollar contracts, fraudulently steering tax-payer dollars to specific corporations.
In a statement, A.G. Schneiderman and Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli say:
The indictment alleges that the four men colluded to steer the process for awarding Monroe County contracts, funneling money to preferred vendors. Lynch and Maggio conspired to launder roughly $2 million through payments from Navitech Services Corporation to Treadstone Development Corporation. Separately, Lynch laundered more than $100,000 in stolen proceeds from contracts between Catalog & Commerce Solutions and both Siemens Building Technologies and Upstate Telecommunications Corporation (UTC). In both cases, the defendants engineered their schemes by creating fake contracts, inflating subcontracts, and submitting false invoices. The proceeds were used by these individuals for their personal benefit, including luxury golf tournaments and payments to political campaign accounts.
Lynch, president of Treadstone Development and the only member of the group previously charged in relation to the investigation, was indicted on 25 counts.
Maggio, president of Navitech Services Corporation, was indicted on 10 charges; Rivera, a former information manager for the county, on six; and Wiesner on two.
Attorney for Wiesner, James Nobles, says his client is charged with what is essentially bid-rigging, but in the end the case comes down to politics.
"This is a political indictment. They've gone after the Brooks administration before with James Smith who was acquitted, with Andy Moore whose case was dismissed, and now they're going after Maggie Brooks' husband. It's as simple as that, there's nothing to it."
Wiesner was released on his own recognizance, as were Rivera and Maggio. Only Lynch is being required to post bail.
A date for the trial has yet to be set.

We played using the Dungeon Crawl Classics ruleset. I gave them the option to start at level 0 to 3. The group decided to pick 3rd level. Had they decided to start with level 0 to 2, I would have run Sailors on the Starless Sea for them. With level 3 I went for Death Frost Doom.
The group rolled up their stats completely in order. Then they rolled occupations and luck modifier. The group consisted of:
- Liva the Cutthroat, 3rd level chaotic thief
- Gelis the Exile, 3rd level chaotic dwarf
- Gromph the Exile, 3rd level chaotic dwarf
- Rasmus the Chronicler, 3rd level neutral cleric of the White Worm.
Gromph was the unlucky one. His initial luck score meant that he resisted poison with -1 penalty.
Without going into too much detail, the highlights of the adventure were:
- Liva feeling totally spooked in the graveyard and around the cabin, but being her most competent self down in the crypts.
- Gelis playing first harpsichord and then pipe-organ. She was not very talented at the first one, and very deadly for the group at the second one.
- Rasmus deciding his mission to be de-secrating the temple of an apparent rival of his god. Which led him to cast a blessing at a fountain of unholy water - and it actually turned the water back to real unspoiled water (result from the spell check).
- Gromph using his shield to sled down the mountain ahead of the pursuers.
All in all, what I think of DCC:
- My players didn't like the Luck burn (one of them being down zero at the end of the adventure), but personally, I like it. It reminds me of Fighting Fantasy.
- As I suspected, I don't like all the tables and constant need to look things up. Even though the results were pretty amazing.
- I don't care for the strange dice (d5, d7, d14, d16 and d24) at all.
- The neat mechanics for deeds and luck didn't play such a big role. Something I didn't expect.
- Rolling d20 plus a modifier feels strange... I know it is part of OGL, but in 3E it was always like: skill rating + attribute modifier. Now it is only a rating (thief skills) plus d20. Feels flat.
- The spell check mechanic and spell failure mechanic of the cleric were as much fun as I expected. Especially since the cleric went for a divine intervention in the end. Purely fantastic. The game really shines here. Side note: Again, the awesome seems to be with spellcasters. So not really an improvement over similar games.
- I really like the way experience is handled. It frees the referee from handing out too much treasure, and also from too much balancing efforts. With DCC, if I made the encounter too difficult, the player characters just need to flee successfully and I'll be handing out 4 XP.
Stay tuned.

The play's protagonist and hero. Othello is the highly respected general of the armies of Venice, although he is not a native of Venice but rather a Moor, or North African. He is an eloquent and powerful figure, respected by all those around him. In spite of his elevated status, Othello is nevertheless easy prey to insecurities because of his age, his life as a soldier, and his self-consciousness about being a racial and cultural outsider. He possesses a free and open nature that his ensign Iago exploits to twist Othello's love for his wife, Desdemona, into a powerful and destructive jealousy.
The daughter of the Venetian senator Brabantio. Desdemona and Othello are secretly married before the play begins. While in some ways stereotypically pure and meek, Desdemona is also determined and self-possessed. She is equally capable of defending her marriage, jesting bawdily with Iago, and responding with dignity to Othello's incomprehensible jealousy.
Othello's ensign (a senior position also known as "ancient" or "standard-bearer"), a twenty-eight-year-old military veteran from Venice. Iago is the villain of the play. Although he is obsessive, relentless, bold, and ingenius in his efforts to manipulate and deceive the other characters—particularly Othello—Iago's motivations are notoriously murky. At various points in the play, he claims to be motivated by different things: resentment that Othello passed him over for a promotion in favor of Michael Cassio; jealousy because he heard a rumor that Othello slept with Iago's wife, Emilia; suspicion that Cassio slept with Emilia too. Iago gives the impression that he's tossing out plausible motivations as he thinks of them, and that we'll never understand what really drives his villainy. He hates women and is obsessed with other people's sex lives.
Michael Cassio
Othello's lieutenant, or second-in-command. Cassio is highly educated but young and inexperienced in battle. Iago resents Cassio's high position and dismisses him as a bookkeeper. Truly devoted to Othello, Cassio is ashamed after being implicated in a drunken brawl on Cyprus and losing his place as lieutenant. Iago uses Cassio's youth, good looks, and flirtatious manner with women to play on Othello's insecurities about Desdemona's fidelity.
Iago's wife and Desdemona's attendant. A cynical, worldly woman, Emilia is deeply attached to her mistress and distrustful of her husband.
A jealous suitor of Desdemona. Young, rich, and foolish, Roderigo is convinced that if he gives Iago all of his money, Iago will help him win Desdemona's hand. Repeatedly frustrated as Othello marries Desdemona and then takes her to Cyprus, Roderigo is ultimately desperate enough to agree to help Iago kill Cassio after Iago points out that Cassio is another potential rival for Desdemona.
A courtesan, or prostitute, in Cyprus. Bianca's favorite customer is Cassio, who teases her with promises of marriage but laughs at her behind her back.
Desdemona's father, a somewhat blustering and self-important Venetian senator. As a friend of Othello, Brabantio feels betrayed when the general marries his daughter in secret.
Duke of Venice
The official authority in Venice, the duke has great respect for Othello as a public and military servant. His primary role within the play is to make Othello tell his story of how he wooed Desdemona, and then to send Othello to Cyprus.
The governor of Cyprus before Othello. We see Montano first in Act Two, as he recounts the status of the war and awaits the Venetian ships.
One of Brabantio's kinsmen, Lodovico acts as a messenger from Venice to Cyprus. He arrives in Cyprus in Act Four with letters announcing that Cassio is to replace Othello as governor.
Brabantio's kinsman who accompanies Lodovico to Cyprus. Amidst the chaos of the play's final scene, Graziano mentions that Desdemona's father has died.
Othello's servant. Although the clown appears only in two short scenes, his jokes reflect and distort the action and words of the main plots: his puns on the word "lie" in Act Three, scene 4, for example, anticipate Othello's confusion of two meanings of that word in Act Four, scene 1.

Truck crashes on South Ballina Beach Road
FIRE Fighters and the SES spent more than two hours cleaning up after a truck delivering gas crashed near Ballina this morning.
Emergency services were called to South Ballina Beach Rd at 7.43 am following reports a truck had crashed and rolled into bush land.
NSW Fire and Rescue Ballina brigade, police, Ambulance, RFS and SES units responded to the incident.

Paramedics treated the truck driver at the scene for minor injuries and he was taken to Ballina hospital as a precaution.
Fire fighters and Rural Fire service volunteers spent more than two hours clearing trees from around the truck so it could be salvaged.
Anyone with any information on the crash is asked to call Ballina police on 6681 8699.

Haruki Murakami Quotes About MoonQuotes about: Moon
There was just one moon. That familiar, yellow, solitary moon. The same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. The same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. The moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. THAT moon.
How can the mind be so imperfect?" she says with a smile. I look at my hands. Bathed in the moonlight, they seem like statues, proportioned to no purpose. "It may well be imperfect," I say, "but it leaves traces. And we can follow those traces, like footsteps in the snow." "Where do the lead?" "To oneself," I answer. "That's where the mind is. Without the mind, nothing leads anywhere." I look up. The winter moon is brilliant, over the Town, above the Wall. "Not one thing is your fault," I comfort her.
The best thing would be to break your neck, but you'd probably just break your leg and then you couldn't do a thing. You'd yell at the top of your lungs, but nobody;d hear you, and you couldn't expect anybody to find you, and you'd have centipedes and spiders crawling all over you, and the bones of the ones who died before are scattered all around you, and it's dark and soggy, and way overhead there's this tiny, tiny circle of light like a winter moon. You die there in this place, little by little, all by yourself.

Washington's Lack of Support for Emergency Patients Receives a Near-Failing D+
Jan 16, 2014, 11:00 EST
What are my state's grades? Find them at www.emreportcard.org
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Washington dropped to 35th place in the nation with a D+ in the American College of Emergency Physicians' (ACEP) state-by-state report card on America's emergency care environment ("Report Card"). Despite ranking in the top 10 states in the categories of Public Health and Injury Prevention and Quality and Patient Safety, Washington received failing grades in three out of five categories. In 2009, the state ranked 19th in the nation with a C.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100616/DC22034LOGO-d)
"Washington's dismal grade in the arena of Disaster Preparedness is disappointing", said Dr. Christopher Kang, president of the Washington Chapter of ACEP. "Together, with our policymakers and community leaders, in light of recent events such as the Boston Marathon bombing, we must reprioritize our commitment to Disaster Preparedness to better serve and care for the people of Washington State."
Washington's failing grade in the category of Disaster Preparedness reflects a drop in per capita spending on disaster preparedness from $7.09 to $5.31. According to the Report Card, Washington could improve its grade and ranking by creating a statewide medical communication system with redundancy and by recruiting more physicians, nurses and behavioral health professionals to register in the Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals before disaster strikes.
Although the state improved its rank in the category of Access to Emergency Care (since 2009), Washington still received a failing grade in this category, in part because of a severe lack of resources and inpatient capacity for mental health patients. The state also has some of the lowest levels in the nation of staffed inpatient and intensive care unit beds. According to the Report Card, to improve its grade, Washington must make greater investments in hospital infrastructure.
Washington received an F in the category of Medical Liability Environment related to having few protections for the state's medical practitioners. The state could improve its grade by passing a medical liability cap on non-economic damages and by offering special liability protections for federally mandated medical care provided in emergency departments.
In the remaining two categories, Washington ranked in the top 10 states in the country.
Washington is a leader in quality initiatives, such as triage guidelines for heart attack, trauma and stroke patients. It also has a strong prescription drug monitoring program and continues to fund quality improvement efforts within the emergency medical services system. As a result, the state's B for Quality and Patient Safety ranked it eighth in the country.
"Washington is exemplary in numerous areas such as injury prevention and patient safety environment, but the dismal grades in these three categories are disconcerting and are an urgent wake-up call to reinvigorate our efforts to keep pace with new initiatives already being implemented across the country."
The low rates of fatal injuries and generally low levels of chronic disease risk contributed to Washington's A- and 5th place ranking for Public Health and Injury Prevention. The state is first in the nation for seatbelt use and the infant mortality rate is among the lowest in the country.
"America's Emergency Care Environment: A State-by-State Report Card – 2014" evaluates conditions under which emergency care is being delivered, not the quality of care provided by hospitals and emergency providers. It has 136 measures in five categories: access to emergency care (30 percent of the grade), quality and patient safety (20 percent), medical liability environment (20 percent), public health and injury prevention (15 percent) and disaster preparedness (15 percent). While America earned an overall mediocre grade of C- on the Report Card issued in 2009, this year the country received a near-failing grade of D+.
ACEP is the national medical specialty society representing emergency medicine. ACEP is committed to advancing emergency care through continuing education, research and public education. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, ACEP has 53 chapters representing each state, as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. A Government Services Chapter represents emergency physicians employed by military branches and other government agencies.

Mr Davie, who is undertaking his first round of media interviews today, walked off camera before Sky journalist Dermot Murnaghan had finished asking questions.
He had repeatedly skirted the issue of whether George Entwistle was at fault for the failings of the BBC.
After batting away questions over who was responsible for the mistakes or if more "heads would roll" at the corporation, Mr Davie appeared to lose patience.
Clearly exasperated, he excused himself and said he had "a lot to do", before walking off set.
It was just his second interview as acting director-general, following one with the BBC moments earlier.
Mr Davie, who had been pushed repeatedly about whether Mr Entwistle was to blame for the Newsnight mistakes, had said: "These are questions for him.
"Anyway, I will go now because have a lot to do. The BBC is taking action and that's what we're going to do.
"I've got a job and I'm going to get on with it. Thank you Dermot."
He then walked determindly off screen.
Reporter Dermot Murnaghan attempted to stall him, asking: "Are more heads going to roll Mr Davie?"
The interim director-general paused for a moment, before saying "thank you" and leaving.
Mr Murnaghan, left looking at an empty screen, joked: "Bet he wouldn't do that to the BBC."
A statement from the BBC insisted the director-general "did not walk off from his interview with Sky".
"Interview overran, clashing with other interviews," it explained.

Kalle Fjeld, a member of Green Mountain Hounds (VT), received the 2017 John Seeley Estabrook Memorial Trust Award at a ceremony last month in Brandon, Vermont. Presented annually since 1986 to an outstanding resident of the community, the Estabrook Award honors an individual pursuing activities in medicine and/or sports. Fjeld recently began her first year of medical school at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont.

The Estabrook award was created in honor of a physician from Brandon, Fjeld's hometown. She explains, "There is a committee that nominates and selects the awardee yearly. I was selected for my pursuit of a career in medicine and my involvement in the sport of foxhunting. This is my third year as a member of the Green Mountain Hounds." In selecting Fjeld, the committee described her as a "highly deserving and talented recipient."
Master Terry Hook said, "Kalle is a passionate member of GMH and almost never misses a hunt. She's a lovely rider with a lovely horse. Even better than that, she's a lovely cake-making artist. Oh yes, and then there's medical school also - I think that she's arranged her class schedule to be able to hunt, but that is confidential!"

Fjeld adds, "I hope to continue hunting while I'm in medical school. My horse, Mr., won GMH's award for Field Hunter of the Year last season."

Our current immigration system is broken. Unfortunately, Congress continues to not address this issue in an effective, comprehensive way.
David strongly believes the House of Representatives should pass legislation to help approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants emerge from the shadows, and provide a responsible path to citizenship for those who want to fully participate in our civil society and contribute to our nation's economy. This reform must begin with securing our border and ensuring that those who are here without proper documentation be required to "go to the end of the line," pay a penalty, pay their taxes, and pass criminal background checks before receiving citizenship.
Passing comprehensive immigration reform would help secure our border, protect workers, unite families, and provide an earned pathway to citizenship for hardworking immigrants. It will also help businesses expand, foster innovation, increase productivity, contribute to long term wage growth, and help create more than 100,000 jobs every year. And according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, enacting such legislation could reduce our national deficit by more than $800 billion over the next decade.
While the Republican leadership of Congress continues to block any attempts to consider comprehensive immigration reform, David is working with colleagues to make change where reform is possible. He is a cosponsor of the POWER Act which will protect undocumented residents from exploitation in the workplace and employers who violate basic labor laws.
David joined more than 200 members of Congress in filing an amicus brief in support President Obama's executive actions to protect those who arrived in the United States as and protect families by providing temporary protection for removal for parents children parents of American citizens and lawful permanent residents.
In both 2014 and 2015 David hosted visits to Rhode Island by U.S. Congressman Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL), Chair of the Immigration Task Force of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. During his 2014 visit, Congressman Gutierrez joined David in calling for Congress to act on comprehensive immigration reform. The most recent visit, in January of 2015, included a public forum on President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration at the Providence Career and Technical Academy.

Former professional boxer Mike Tyson, who was one of the most vicious street fighters before he got into boxing, condemned the "knockout" game on Wednesday and said blacks needed to stop being involved with the "evil" game and "conduct ourselves" more respectably.
"Well listen, we got to stop being involved with the knockout game. We have to conduct ourselves as respectable African Americans," Tyson said on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight.
As Breitbart News has extensively reported, the "knockout" game is played largely by black youths against male and female whites and Jews (there have been few instances in which blacks have attacked other blacks and whites have attacked other whites)–and the purpose of the game is to "knock out" an unsuspecting victim with a sucker punch, usually to the back of the head.
There have also been victims of Asian descent and some fatalities, and the game seems to be spreading in major cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.
Tyson, who describes his brutal upbringing and life on the streets in his new autobiography, Undisputed Truth, said he was familiar with the "knockout" game and "it doesn't make any sense." He told Morgan the game has even spread to Great Britain.
"I don't think it's cool," Tyson said, specifically mentioning his disbelief that women are even being targeted.
When asked why he thought people were playing the deadly "knockout" game, Tyson said, "I have no idea. I don't have no idea. I just don't know."
"Maybe they're just evil, they're just some evil people," Tyson said.

For the Chocolate torte:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the chocolate, butter and corn syrup and melt over a double boiler. In a stand mixer whip the eggs, vanilla and sugar together for several minutes, pour in the melted chocolate, and all of the dry ingredients. Mix together and spread onto a greased 1/2 sheet pan. Bake in oven for 30 minutes.
For the Beet ice cream:
Wash and juice the beets. Simmer the juice 2 hours, until it is reduced by 2/3. In a separate pot combine the milk and sugar and bring to a boil, temper in your egg yolks. Add the cream and beet juice and freeze according to the ice cream machine instructions.
For the Sugar beet paper:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
Rinse the beets and place in a steamer. Steam until soft. Cool the beets, peel them, chop them up and place them in a blender with the corn syrup and egg white and blend until totally smooth.
Spread in a very thin layer on to a silpat and bake in oven for 1 to 2 hours, until dry and crisp.
To assemble cut the torte into circles using a 3-inch circular cookie cutter. Place a quarter sized drop of chocolate sauce on the plate and streak it using the back side of the spoon. Place the disk of torte onto the plate and a scoop of the beet ice cream directly on top of the torte. Place several large shards of the beet paper into the ice cream and different angles and sprinkle a pinch of the shiso salt on the ice cream and the plate.

Shia Labeouf's uncle has been ordered to repay the $800,000 he borrowed from his actor nephew in full.
The 27 year old and his mother sued Barry Saide last year (13), accusing him of reneging on a deal to pay back the loan in instalments beginning in January, 2011.
Saide hit back at the legal action with a countersuit, insisting his famous nephew was trying to bankrupt him, despite allegedly lending the pair money before the actor made it big.
According to the New York Daily News, LaBeouf even offered to take a 25 per cent stake in Saide's employment companies instead of cash repayments, but his uncle was accused of failing to honor that agreement as well.
The two sides were unable to reach a private settlement and the case was heard in Manhattan Supreme Court in New York on Wednesday (26Feb14), when the judge ruled in LaBeouf's favor.
Saide must now repay the entire lump sum plus interest and attorney fees, which will be determined at a later date.
The news will give the Transformers star a reason to celebrate after a troubled few weeks, in which he hit headlines with his increasingly bizarre antics, ranging from donning a paper bag over his head for the German premiere of his film Nymphomaniac to launching himself as part of a live art show in Los Angeles.

Kat is a Manager in Frontier's Public Policy practice and has been a professional economist since 1999. She has specialised her career in using economics to help create policy that delivers better outcomes for society, the economy and the environment. She has worked with many major UK government departments, agencies, regulators and the wider public sector. Kat has extensive experience of policy design, appraisal and evaluation. Particular areas of her policy expertise are in environmental policy (mainly climate change adaptation); economic growth; transport and infrastructure; and health and social care. She takes a common-sense approach by listening carefully to her client's policy challenge, understanding the decision-making context and applying economics to find a practical solution.
Kat has worked for many clients to help them understand the impacts on local or national economic activity of particular government policies, and the contribution of particular sectors to economic growth. She led work for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to assess the channels through which the digital communications sector contributes to the economy, and estimated the magnitude of this contribution using analytical methods. This work fed into the DCMS review "A Communications Review for the Digital Age".
She also led work with Infrastructure UK and HM Treasury to assess the potential contribution to economic growth of better accounting for the interdependencies across the infrastructure system. This analysis used in-depth case studies to estimate the scale of benefits and fed into the government's National Infrastructure Plan.
Kat joined Frontier in 2011 after twelve years in the Government Economic Service. During that time she held several senior economist positions advising government ministers and senior officials on issues such as the value for money of transport initiatives, climate change policy, airport regulation and carbon valuation in appraisal.
Kat has worked extensively on flooding and climate change adaptation policy. This includes exploring the impacts of flooding, heatwaves and other extreme weather on businesses, communities and individuals, and how best to adapt to those challenges.
She led a major 15-month programme of work for the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to explore the case for further action to prepare the UK for projected extreme weather and climate change. This analysis was carried out by considering projected extreme weather and climate risks to business continuity; health and well-being; agriculture and forestry productivity; strategic transport and power generation infrastructure; and, fisheries. The recommendations informed the UK government's first ever National Adaptation Programme and provided a framework for considering adaptation policy across government.
Kat has also developed guidance for Defra and local authorities on how to assess the impacts on the local economy of taking action to address flood risk or to manage coastal erosion. This step-by-step guidance will help local flood authorities understand and quantify the scale of benefits to their local economies when investing in flood or coastal erosion risk management initiatives.
More widely Kat has advised the Environment Agency on matters such as methods to evaluate Environmental Permitting Regulations Assurance Schemes and on how to assess the productivity of its regulatory functions.
Kat works with clients right across the health and social care sectors to develop evidence on the costs and benefits of interventions to help inform decision-making. With a focus on mental health, well-being, integrated care and children's social services, Kat has experience in assessing the likely costs and benefits before they are implemented, as well as evaluating interventions ex post to learn about what works, how well, for whom and under what conditions.
Kat recently developed a tool kit to help businesses understand the impacts on their employees of mental-health related problems and the associated financial costs to the business from sickness absence and presenteeism. This was used to help businesses monitor the scale of the challenge and how employees can be better supported in the work place when they have a mental health problem, and how to promote good mental health and well-being in the workplace.
She also carried out analysis of the impacts of extreme weather events on the mental health of those affected by flooding. This was to help ensure that the potentially very long term impacts of such traumatic events are better understood so that policy-makers are able to provide appropriate support for those at risk of flooding.
Kat has also carried out analysis of a range of 'integrated care' interventions that seek to integrate mental health and physical health services; healthcare and social care services; acute care and community care services; and to empower patients to manage their own long term conditions so that they have higher well-being and can prevent avoidable trips to the acute hospitals. This involved detailed analysis of the costs of interventions and assessing the outcomes that have been achieved, relative to what would otherwise have been expected to happen. This analysis helped healthcare providers understand the returns on their investment and how best to target interventions to maximise those returns.
Kat has in-depth expertise in transport policy having worked for eight years as a senior economist in the Department for Transport before joining Frontier and leading various transport studies since arriving at Frontier in 2011.
While at Frontier she led a study of the case for further action to increase the preparedness of strategic road and rail infrastructure in England to flooding and other extreme weather. This considered the capacity of key organisations to adapt and assessed the barriers and incentives to take appropriate adaptation action. This analysis made recommendations to inform the UK's National Adaptation Programme.
She has also worked with the Department for Transport (DfT) to help implement their monitoring and evaluation strategy. This has involved a range of projects to help support DfT in building its capability to carry out proportionate and well-targeted evaluations in line with the HM Treasury Magenta Book guidance.
Before joining Frontier, Kat held a range of senior economist positions in DfT advising Ministers and senior officials on policies including the effectiveness of transport carbon reduction policies, airport regulation, aviation and the EU Emissions Trading System and methods to assess the value for money of transport interventions.

Free At Last...
It may not seem as though I've ever censored myself when it comes to posting on my blog or on social media, but my job and career were always in the back of my mind as I wrote a blog entry or participated in a flame war on-line, thinking that one of my co-workers or bosses might actually read what I post.
Officially Retired (or Soon to Be)I just gave my two weeks notice to my current employer, and I couldn't feel any more relieved.
Have you ever felt as though you had a chance to relax for the first time in years, and didn't even realize it was missing until you experienced it?
I have a busy two weeks ahead of me while I finalize as much as I can, and then I plan on starting to plan a more leisurely part of my life.
The most common question I hear from people when I tell them I'm retiring is "What will you do?"
It surprised me that many people seem to be concerned when they asked the question.
Mostly, I plan on the following:
- Adding a little more sleep to my schedule
- Expanding my workout time at the gym three times a week
- Adding yoga to my schedule of activities
- Enjoying my deck and espresso machine
- Enjoying the area where I live by walking and biking more
I will also enjoy the freedom of not having to worry about offending a potential employer with my blog or social media posts.
Current KnittingI finished the pair of tangerine gloves and also finished another West Coast Watch Cap.
I had worrisome little yarn left over on the glove project...the pattern calls for 220 yards of worsted weight yarn...mine only took 219....
Someone once described this race to finish a project before the yarn ran out as, "yarn chicken"...it definitely has a similar level of anxiety involved.

The Grand DelusionSubmitted by digitalbeachbum on June 18, 2014 - 6:22pm.
I have realized that there is no such thing as unconditional love.
What does life mean?Submitted by Sage_Override on April 21, 2014 - 9:36pm.
Maybe its because my station in life right now has hit its lowest possible point in recent memory. Maybe its because my future is terrifyingly uncertain and downright scary in the present. Hell, maybe its because everyone I seem to have ever known is doing even a little better than me despite my best endeavors. Sure, argue semantics about things could be worse and its all a matter of perspective as to how you see" doing better in life." It's all relative, sure, but as time goes on, I realize that all my ideals have gotten me in a stagnant reality. What's it matter if I don't believe in a god? I'm alienated and looked at differently by those that do believe seeing a missing piece of the human condition being forcibly removed like a faulty computer chip by a mad doctor. Of course those that don't believe see what I've done as a necessary recall to rectify bloatware, but the end game of that has made little impact on our overall social evolution; news stories and current global conflicts remind me of that daily. What's it matter if I don't believe in the economy? Everyone loves the almighty dollar and it won't go away, at least not some form of it, until the human race is eventually erased by time. What's it matter if I believe in a social redesign or resource based economy? The masses of denial, instant gratification and self-preservation is too pervasive to warrant a full on mass awakening as naive as I am to think that and those that join my thought process are too weak to cause a dramatic shove
Legal ImmortalitySubmitted by Beyond Saving on March 15, 2014 - 4:22pm.
As someone who has fairly well formed political ideals and philosophy, it is rare that a political issue comes up that I struggle with developing a cohesive and defensible position on. However, one such issue has recently come to my attention thanks to a lawsuit that my company is going to be involved in. I have passively known about conservation easements for some time, howver, I had never really had cause to put significant thought into them before now. Having studied them much more thoroughly, I have found the idea of perpetual easements very disturbing, but can't come up with a sufficient reason to oppose them.
Faking out hackersSubmitted by digitalbeachbum on February 6, 2014 - 7:57am.
Roughly 15 years ago I suggested to friends in the IT department that the best way to defeat hackers is to decieve them. My suggestion to my boss at the time was to setup a fake network filled with bogus information. The company I worked for was a credit card company and we had constant issues with security being tested by outside attacks and were always looking for new ways to defend.
My boss, being the typical book learned, college grad, thinking inside the box idiot, told me no. It was a stupid idea.
I knew better.
I used to run a BBS during the 80's and 90's. I was a member of several different pirate groups and I was always afraid I'd get caught like so many others Sysops.
I tried many different BBS programs for security purposes but the best idea I ever came up with was not what I used, but how I presented it.
I had setup a fake login when you first connected to my BBS. You'd get a DOS prompt from a very unfriendly system. Type DIR and find a slew of .EXE's to run. As you sat there trying the .EXE's the system was keeping count of your trial and error. Unfortunately for the trouble maker, the .EXE never was there and the only way you knew about it was from "word of mouth".
Horrible journalismSubmitted by digitalbeachbum on February 3, 2014 - 6:35pm.
I originally wasn't going to say any thing about the article I had saw on the NY Daily News, which is in my opinion a "rag" of a source of news.
The article is horrible because it is written in a format which leads people to the conclusion that "these possessions are real" and that "look at all these people who support the story because they never say anything negative about the demons".
Honestly? Do we still need to have this bullshit supported? Is it that slow of a news week that a reporter has no moral value left in them to post this shit?

I can't believe this is my 10,000+ post. When I joined RRS back in 2007 I wouldn't have believed I would hang around here as long as I have; but here it is.
I never took the blasphmey challenge because I had done it so many times within my circle of family and friends. Even on private occasions I did it in many different forms. I didn't see a need for it again publically, though I am sure located in one of my 10,000 posts there is a comment or two saying the same thing.
As I look at the RRS extras, I see Brian sitting up there all alone with over 50,000+ posts. I'll just leave that item alone. I've said enough, but kudos to him for contributing so much to this site.
Atheism has grown so much since I first rejected all gods and creators, from all religions. I remember back in the 90's when I was in college. I was taking several classes which really focused on the history of religions. I think I told this story previously, but back then I defended my fellow students against a militiant professor who turned out to be a complete tool.
In the end, even though I ACED the final exam he gave me a C. I should have had an A, but the fucker wanted to try and put me in my place. I tracked him down after one of my classes and he threatened me. I wish I knew the fuckers name today. I think it would be interesting to see what happened to him.
Anyway, I'm off the subject.
Amanda Knox and ItalySubmitted by digitalbeachbum on January 30, 2014 - 6:22pm.
#1 - The Italian justice system is fucked up worse than our justice system.
#2 - The information I have reviewed leads me to believe that the Rudy Guede is a low life criminal who has a record of breaking-in, using a knife and had his DNA, prints and more found at the site of the murder. He even admitted to the murder, first saying a stranger had committed it, then changing his story to say he did it, then including Amanda and Raffaele Sollecito did it.
Really. The Italian courts can't figure this shit out? Are they completely fucked as a country? Are the toxic wastes being dumped by the mafia causing them to be completely void of any rational thinking?
As of today their courts ruled that Amanda and Raffaele were guilty of the murder, but they already have the murderer incarcerated.
I'm baffled that this is even happening.
A little victory against a squatter rationalresponders.blogspotSubmitted by Sapient on January 20, 2014 - 12:36am.
A couple of haters grabbed the blogspot address that corresponds with this site address. It's recently come to my attention that Google has suspended the account. I'm not sure of the reason, just that it is no longer available to use.
This address used to be owned by Christian haters. http://rationalresponders.blogspot.com/ They used the site to tell misleading and usually dishonest interpretations of RRS. Often they came up high in google because of name similarity. Google took action. Nice of them.
People get away with telling lies about people online because most people aren't going to go through the costs or effort of taking it to court. We had built up tons of evidence to take that case to court and in the end I can only assume that submitting that info to google played a role in the name being taken away from the world.
If anyone ever sees it become available, I'll offer you a reward to let me know about it. I'll take you out to dinner when you come by Philadelphia.
Sorry our site was down for over 12 hours. Can you make a donation?Submitted by Sapient on January 19, 2014 - 8:37pm.
Our site goes down from time to time but we usually resolve it within an hour. This time it was 12 hours. Sorry for any inconvenience, frustration, sadness, or depression that you dealt with as a result. It lasted so long this time because was our amazing volunteer server admin was away from the computer.
It gives me a chance to be frank with you. I hate doing fundraisers, as I want to believe that this site can be sustained on ad/amazon/subscriber revenue. Many a months, it can. RRS costs a few hundred dollars per month to operate and right now, we're not quite making that back. Actually one of our awesome board members recently sent us our largest single donation of the year and it got us to about even.
Another reason I haven't made a public request for donations in over 2 years is that I feel I let you down on the last public appeal for money to buy a server. I assure you we got a new server to upgrade our sites to the next era of web utilization. I am sorry I can't enjoy it's spoils with you quite yet. I don't want to throw anyone under the bus, but for the most part it's delay was beyond my control. I could have avoided it if I had 10-15k to spend on professional help. I don't work off a budget that large, we're dealing in hundreds here.
RIP TimSubmitted by Vastet on December 22, 2013 - 9:33pm.
My best friend died a few minutes ago of a brain tumour. I already miss him. I've never known anyone I could trust as much as him. Noone else I could comfortably talk to about anything at all. Politics, religion, girls, life, death, stupid shit, important shit.
It was just a few years ago I met him. The time we had was too short. I loved him as I would a brother. Probably more than a brother.
I couldn't be at his side when he passed. The ice storm made that impossible. The taxi companies said they weren't travelling out of town, and I was unwilling to risk anyone else I care for. I know he would have been horrified if anyone got hurt trying to see him when he was sedated and unable to even recognise it, but I still feel like shit for not being there.
I take some solace knowing that the rest of his friends and family were with him. He was not alone.
He was 28 years old. A couple years after we became friends he was diagnosed with the tumour when he started having seizures.

As anyone who has made their living in design in the past couple of decades knows, you can't get there from here without Adobe's Creative Suite software. Best known for Photoshop, Illustrator, and an ever expanding galaxy of production software, Adobe has not only delivered the highest fidelity solutions for creative professionals over the years, they have also capitalized upon this success to become the one must-have software suite among studios big and small throughout the world.
As I have come in to making my living as a web interface designer, programmer, and illustrator, I have become unwittingly dependent upon Adobe's applications.
I have decided to search for reasonable replacements for the Adobe apps I use most on my Mac. To my delight, there are several software development teams busy producing some very promising if not altogether better than Adobe alternatives for Apple's Mac OS X and iOS platforms.
In this and future posts, I'll be writing about my experiences with these apps – the good and the bad.
This week, I look at Bohemian Coding's Sketch app in place of Adobe's Fireworks.
Sketch 2
Bohemian Coding | $49.99 USD on the Mac App Store
For any UI designer who's had as an ambivalent experience with Adobe's Fireworks as I have, Bohemian Coding's Sketch app holds the most promise as an alternative. Like Fireworks, Sketch lets you have multiple pages in a single document. But even cooler is that – like Illustrator – each page can have one or more user-defined 'artboards', making it easy to duplicate UI layout designs for alteration and side-by-side comparison. After designing, artboards can then be named and used for exporting to a variety of image formats.
Like Fireworks, Sketch lets you draw and edit vector shapes and also includes basic vector shape operations: merge, subtract, intersect, and difference . Sketch's features allow users to generate a variety of fill and stroke effects including gradients, shadows, blurs, and reflections (Hello, the early 2000's called, they want their reflection effect back). Interestingly, these effects can be applied and layered and, using Sketch's well designed inspector panel, independently toggled on or off. Once you get an element looking just the way you want, you can also save the style to a preset library. Smokin!
Anyone who knows me well enough as a program interface designer knows that I have in the past advocated and evangelized for the 'full screen' app experience. Why this is so is for a variety of reasons that could easily take up an entire blog post on it's own. It suffices to say that any app that does the full screen UI the right way scores extra points with me. Sketch is one of those apps.
Although the style of the UI itself is pretty barebones, the experience designers behind the Sketch UI make good with what almost comes off as a less is more approach to user interface. My favorite thing about their UI is that it utilizes clever contextual state changes to their tool inspector, eliminating the need floating palettes. Simply put, floating palettes get in the way. Sure, floating palettes are easy enough to invoke when you need them and dismiss them when you don't, providing a user with the highest degree of workflow flexibility. But when I'm moving around a canvas when I'm trying to design a layout, I feel like I end up spending a lot of time moving palettes around when really what I want to be doing is designing, not managing the interface of the tool I'm using to design. To their credit, Adobe has been pretty smart about palettes in the past by implementing a system of palettes that snap to the side of the screen while cropping the canvas viewport in programs like Photoshop. Alas, this system is relatively new to the seasoned Mac user (since CS3 maybe?) and long overdue. Palettes in Adobe's Fireworks CS6 – while they snap to the edge of the screen – persist with this older mode of floating over a scalable canvas window. I can see you, desktop wallpaper. Sloppy.
In Sketch, on the other hand, you can optionally view layers or element inspectors that live in columns on either side of the screen. Because the folks at Bohemian have done a reasonably decent job with pinch zoom controls for the track pad, I find it more convenient to just have them visible all of the time I'm working on a document, though it would be nice to have the option to hide all of the inspectors with the click of a hot key like you can with palettes using the tab key in Adobe CS.
But how does Sketch manage to get away with NOT using palettes? Palettes are many and varied and, as stated before, easily dismissed or invoked. The answer is that the sole element inspector in Sketch is contextual, meaning the inspector options change depending upon what kind of element is selected. For example, selecting the text tool and clicking on the artboard invokes the text inspector where the user has the choice to adjust font, size, and paragraph options. Drawing a vector shape invokes a style inspector that provides the user with options to adjust shape size, positioning, fill, stroke, and other styles. Nested in either of these inspectors, the user has the ability to configure color options, causing the inspector to slide to reveal a color picker and saved swatches. After drilling down to configure color, the inspector features a 'Back' button at the top of the column to enabling the user to return to positioning inspector.
What I find surprising about this now-you-see-it-now-you-don't approach to the inspector is how handy it is. Despite not providing the user with every control under the sun in one or more user-invoked palettes, Sketch provides the user with every option available for the element they're working on right now in one inspector. The other thing it does is keep the UI focused, clean and tidy.
As with any early version of an app, there are a few bugs the guys at Bohemian Coding need to iron out before I give this app 5 stars. The biggest letdown is that the artboard and element coordinates aren't always consistent between rulers and the inspector. I love the fact that I can have more than one page with multiple artboards per page in Sketch, but unfortunately, pages can't be reordered, so once a Sketch document has two pages, you can't switch page one for two to appear in a custom order, for example. And I love the handling of the text inspector, but I've found that saved text styles don't always behave predictably – a user can't have multiple saved text styles within the same text element, for example. These issues don't constitute a complete list of bugs I've experienced with Sketch, and it occurs to me that the guys at Bohemian Coding are largely just getting started.
Despite its flaws, Sketch definitely holds its own against Fireworks. Any digital UI designer on a Mac owe it to themselves to download the trial from Bohemian Coding's website. If you're independent or on a budget, you will find that compared to the full-license (or upgrade) price for Fireworks, Sketch's $50 price point will seem like too good of a deal to pass up.

Why is bacterioplankton growth in coral reef framework cavities enhanced?
Document Type
Publication details
Scheffers, SR, Bak, RPM & van Duyl, FC 2005, 'Why is bacterioplankton growth in coral reef framework cavities enhanced?', Marine Ecology Progress Series, vol. 299, pp. 889-99.
Peer Reviewed
Abundance, growth rates and nutrient limitation of the heterotrophic bacteria present in the reef water column and reef cavity water were measured on a fringing reef at Curaçao (Netherlands Antilles). Bacterial in situ growth rates were measured using dialysis bags. Nutrient limitation was measured using bioassays with different amendments of inorganic nutrients (nitrate, ammonium, phosphate) and dissolved organic carbon (glucose). Cell sizes were measured in the reef water column and over an intra-cavity gradient inside reef cavities, from the cavity center to the wall of the cavity. Bacterial abundance was lower in cavities, while growth rates were on average 3.6 times higher than in open reef water. The bacterial community in open reef water was limited in its growth by all nutrients, in contrast to cavity water, in which bacteria were limited by phosphate. Cell volumes decreased significantly from open reef water towards the cavity wall. Results suggest that conditions in cavities have a positive effect on bacterial growth. Growth limitation by N is alleviated through enhanced mineralization in cavities. Through rapid exchange with the ambient water, cavities enrich the overlying reef water with inorganic N.

For Members
The Access Health C3 Health Plan is low cost coverage available to eligible individuals and their families in the Muskegon area. C3 Stands for "Choice, Challenge, and Change" representing a pathway toward helping members take responsibility for making healthier choices, the most significant way to improve health and control costs. An essential part of this pathway is Access Health's Continuous Health Improvement program which actively helps members take charge of their own lifestyles and health management to achieve and maintain their optimal health.
C3 Health is Community Based Coverage
Access Health is a true community venture, drawing commitments and resources from around the Muskegon area. This multi-share financing arrangement combines resources from community stakeholders with a vested interest in community health – including hospitals, businesses, and members – to sustain coverage affordability. This is part of what makes the C3 Health plan affordable for members. Members pay 30% of the premiums while other community interests cover the balance.
CHI Helps Members Take Personal Responsibility for their Health
Through the Continuous Health Improvement (CHI) program the community has taken on a shared responsibility for the health of the members. But members, as a partner in this arrangement, bear the greatest responsibility for making the actual steps toward improved health, and therefore cost reduction. Unhealthy behaviors are the biggest drivers of healthcare costs. It is the member's responsibility to make healthy choices, and the CHI program will help.
The CHI program is the most significant process responsible for cost savings with the C3 plan. It is designed to help individuals learn about and take control of their own health choices. It helps Members get to "know their numbers" through participation in Health Risk Assessments and biometric screenings. The results provide each member with their own personal health risk profile. Based on each person's results, they will be assisted by the C3 Health Plan coaches in designing a health improvement plan that fits their individual needs. C3 further supports the CHI with classes a member can take and activities they can participate in to enjoy better health.
CHI Program Annual Requirements:
- Health Risks Appraisal, biometrics and lab screenings – typically within the first month following enrollment
- First meeting with a health coach – within the first three months
- Attending the first health class to manage a health risk factor – within the first six months
- Establish a Primary Care Physician – within the first six months
- Second meeting with a health coach – before nine months
- Attend a second health class – before the end of the enrollment year
The staff at Access Health has expertise in many areas such as: Exercise Science, Nutrition, Tobacco Cessation Education, Stress Management / Behavioral Health, Diabetes, Asthma, COPD, Cardiovascular Education, Nursing and much more. Staff will work with each person to create a personalized plan based on their current health status and to reduce health risks in the future.
Members of C3 Health have all the same privacy rights as with any medical plan. Review Access Health's privacy notice for more information on privacy rights.
