Discussion in 'Future of Trek' started by jefferiestubes8, Oct 31, 2009.
^ So what about David Tennant, Billie Piper or John Barrowman as the first officer?!
Mickey Rourke! With Johnny Depp as the first officer, if you had three million dollars to blow on per episode that is!
I would like to see Sarah Michelle Gellar(Prinze) as the next ST captain.
Andre Braugher (Homicide: Life on the Street)
you've always got the best avatars!
I love the suggestions of Andre Braugher, Angela Bassett, Dennis Haysbert and Lawrence Fishburne.
Other suggestions:
Lena Olin
Lindsay Duncan
Eamonn Walker
Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn, Lord of the Rings)
Bruce Greenwood (No, not necessarily as Pike--but let's be honest, he'd be AWESOME)
Nicole deBoer (Hey--Captain Ezri Dax of the Aventine. Just sayin....)
Nicole deBoer works for me.
But how about Willem Dafoe as Cap with Michael Paré as first officer.
Harry Lennix from Dollhouse. Cool under pressure and ruthless when neccessary.
Ron Glass from Barney Miller and Firefly. His character was simultaneously the most conscientious, enlightened member of the cast and (implicitly) the most cold-blooded and vicious. A perfect mix fro a starfleet captain. Idris Elba is just amazing in whatever he does.
One advantage in casting an older black thespian as the Captain of the ship /or at least a bridge officer is the opportiunity to do a retcon and make him the young shuttle pilot during the Kelvin sequence.
Other potentials would be Alan Tudyk or Jason Segal for a more comical, unlikely sci-fi hero. Hell you could make him complete subversion of who we typically view as the Captain of a ship. Make him not a physical-type (like Kirk) or intellectual type (like Picard), but instead someone who's just really good at running a starship and is more akin to an owner/manager of a small business or restaurant like Richard Jenkins, Louis C.K., or John C. Reilly.
Ooooh, that would be awesome. Not only do I love his voice, but I love that deadpan demeanor he uses to deliver some really funny lines. Admittedly I only know him from the All-State commercials, but he definitely got my attention.
(FYI to those of you reading Sigils and Unions, I changed my casting for Glinn Va'Kust--I finally had to admit that it was Haysbert I was modeling the man after! If you're reading that story, look at Chapter 6 of The Thirteenth Order...that's pure Haysbert.)
But one thing I would love to see would be an alien captain. I wonder, what alien race would Haysbert be good as, if we were to go that route?
(Or who else would you want to see, if we were to have an alien captain?)
Vaughn Armstrong.
Why? Hey, he's Vaughn Armstrong. Need I say more?
seriously, this guy is a Trek veteran from way back. One of the best ever. He deserves to have his own series.
Michael York.
Sorry that's horrible
Christopher Eccleston, obviously.
My choice is Michael Weatherly for Captain (NCIS). He can project authority but also be funny/entertaining.
Well for me, it depends on what kind of captain you want.
Do you want something like Kirk-style, Picard-style or something in between?
If you wanted something towards the Picard-style of capt'n'ing, then I'd go with Laurence Fishburne as mentioned before,
or perhaps even William Petersen,
not because both of them were on CSI Las Vegas, but because I like both of their acting styles and would play a decent starfleet captain that has a good head on their shoulders.
If you wanted to lean towards the Kirk-style, I'd go with either Colin Farrell
or Bruce Campbell.
I know I know, a lot of people don't care much for Colin F. these days, but I was a fan of his acting before he became main stream when he was in Tigerland and he can be a really good actor when he wants to be, lol.
I doubt Bruce Campbell would agree to do any Trek series. Didn't he turn down a role on DS9? ("Jack", of the Jack Pack from 'Statistical Probabilities')
^ I think it's even less likely that movie stars of the calibre of Colin Farrell, Lawrence Fishburne, Viggo Mortensen or some of the other names bandied about here would do it. I'm assuming that people are choosing wish-figures, rather than actors who Trek would genuinely have a chance of landing.
"You know the Klingons -- buncha bitchy little girls."
Separate names with a comma.

We will have to see if Mcelroy can put up points. He is serviceable, but def does not scare anyone.
We will have to see if Mcelroy can put up points. He is serviceable, but def does not scare anyone.
Tebow is not a traditional back up QB. He's not a traditional QB. In most situations, a backup QB is put on ice to the point that he doesn't even hold for extra points. In contrast, Tebow was brought in here to be an all purpose player. The fact that QB is his primary position is somewhat ancillary.
If Sanchez has a season ending injury, I am sure that we will see McElroy on the field in some combination with Tebow. Granted, Tebow's role will probably be expanded, but it will very likely be some combination of the Tebow's non-conventional packages (be it the spread/read option or Wildcat) and the more traditional package run by McElroy.
I agree that McElroy or possibly Simms would become the starter in the event something goes wrong with sanchez. Yea Tebow is the #2 right now but that is for now. There is no way the Jets would put Tebow out there running the offense against the Pats after what they did to him last year. They didn't get him for that as this has been stated numerous times. I hope to see lots of Simms and McElroy this preseason and let Tebow do the change of pace plays like they got him to do! I don't hate Tebow in fact I like the guy alot. He brings a positive winning attitude to the Jets battered team Chemistry. Between Tebow and Sparano we should see a much more disciplined group than we had last year. Lets hope so anyway
If Jets are smart, then is Sanchez goes down they would use Tebow and run a Tebow offense, like what Broncos ran last year.
McElroy may be a better option than Tebow acting like a regular QB in a regular offense, but a Tebow offense is better than a regular offense with McElroy as QB.

Portland, OR (SportsNetwork.com) - LaMarcus Aldridge dropped in a career-high 44 points, including eight clutch free throws in the final 1:07 to send the Portland Trail Blazers over the Denver Nuggets, 110-105, on Thursday.
Aldridge pulled down 13 rebounds, recorded five assists and scored the last 15 points for the Blazers, who avoided losing three in a row for the first time this season.
"LaMarcus just keeps impressing everybody with what he's doing," Portland head coach Terry Stotts said of his star center. "He was aggressive to the basket, he made his jump shots, he made his free throws, he rebounded, he came up big when we needed him."
Wesley Matthews chipped in with 24 points while Robin Lopez had 12 with nine rebounds for the victors.
Denver, done in by 22 turnovers, has dropped four of its last five following a five-game winning streak. Wilson Chandler led six Nuggets in double figures with 18 points.
Ty Lawson contributed 13 points and 11 assists but was held scoreless in the second half as Denver wasted away a big lead.
Portland shed a 15-point deficit down to five, 91-86, entering the fourth, then opened a back-and-forth final stanza with six straight points.
Randy Foye's runner off a pick-and-roll gave Denver a 105-104 lead with 1:01 on the clock, and Matthews airballed a fadeaway 3-point try at Portland's end.
Aldridge, though, was fouled underneath the basket going after the rebound and sank both free throws to give Portland the lead -- one the hosts did not relinquish.
Aldridge grabbed another big rebound on Lawson's missed jumper and was immediately fouled, leading to a successful trip at the stripe for a 108-105 Portland advantage with 25.8 seconds to go.
Chandler's leaner at the other end rimmed out, and again Aldridge secured the carom, and the subsequent free throws pushed him to a career-high point total.
"Some of the fouls that we committed, just sending (Aldridge) to the line without him really having to work for it, I thought is what hurt us, especially in the fourth quarter," Denver head coach Brian Shaw said.
A high-scoring first quarter ended with the Nuggets holding a 30-27 lead, and Denver was ahead by a dozen, 51-39, after Chandler banked in a 3-pointer with 5:05 remaining in the half.
Portland responded with the next nine points, but the Nuggets still went into the break with a 67-59 cushion, with nearly half of their production (32 points) coming from their bench.
Foye drained three 3-pointers in the first three minutes of the third quarter, stretching Denver's lead to 78-63. Portland, though, slowly chipped away at the deficit, with Matthews' alley-oop from Nicolas Batum off an inbound pass sparking the rally near the midway point of the quarter.
Lawson has recorded 10 double-doubles in his last 11 games ... Portland outscored Denver at the free throw line, 30-17 .... The Blazers are 9-2 in their last 11 at home against the Nuggets ... Denver's bench scored just eight points after halftime.

Tentative deal to end NHL lockout
The NHL and players have reached agreement on a "framework" of a deal to end their lockout and salvage the season, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said on Sunday.
The announcement came after a marathon 16-hour negotiating session that included both Bettman and NHL Players' Association chief Don Fehr that started on Saturday and spilled over into Sunday.
"Don Fehr and I are here to tell you that we have reached an agreement on the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement, the details of which need to be put to paper," Bettman said.
"We have to dot a lot of I's and cross a lot of T's. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the basic framework has been agreed upon. We have to go through a ratification process and the Board of Governors has to approve it from the league side and, obviously, the players have to approve it as well."
With a deal, the NHL can avoid losing an entire season for the second time in its history.
All of the 2004-05 campaign was lost to a similar bitter battle over financial issues.
Bettman had pinpointed January 19 as the essential start date to save a shortened season. On Sunday, with a written agreement still to be drafted, he said he could not yet offer information about a schedule.
"We will be back to you very shortly, hopefully, later today with more information in that regard," he said.
The league has cancelled 625 games - up to January 14 - just over half the planned schedule that was to have started in October.
"Any process we have in a system like this is difficult," Fehr said.
"It can be long."
The new agreement is reported to be for 10 years, with a mutual opt-out clause after eight years.
According to various media reports, the players' share of hockey-related revenue - a sharply contested issue - will drop from the 57 per cent they received under the prior contract to a 50-50 split.
The salary cap for the upcoming season will also reportedly be $US70.2 million, falling to $US64.3 million for the 2013-14 season.
The two sides had met separately with federal mediator Scot Beckenbaugh on Friday, and Beckenbaugh had joined them for the face-to-face meetings on Saturday that finally yielded the breakthrough.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn (UTC/TheLoop) — From the old murals on the wall from years past, to the photos of alumni Mocs in
their prime, any UTC student that has been inside the UTC Crossroads can tell that Crossroads holds a lot of memories and history, but Campus Crossroads will soon offer more than nostalgia for UTC students.
UTC's Campus Crossroads will get a face lift over the summer. It will be transformed into a new dining facility that offers students the first place on campus that is all-you-can-eat.
In the University's master plan, there are many improvements for UTC's future and Crossroads is next on the list. This coming school year Crossroads will be renovated into a state of the art dining facility offering UTC student the first "All-You-Care-To-Eat dining location."
There are big changes next year to UTC's dining plans, not only are meal plans going to change but where you eat will also change.
The University will now offer only four meal plan choices including: "The Unlimited" that allows students to eat as much as they want at Campus Crossroads, "The Weekly" which offers 14 meals per week and $275 Mocs bucks, "The Mocs Block" which offers 160 meals total a semester and $475 Mocs Bucks, and finally the "$600 Club Fund" which is a declining balance where student can eat anywhere that accepts the club fund.
Paige Pertuit, and employee for the University Center expects great things to come from the new Campus Crossroads. "I think that the University can only improve from this change."
Some students are excited about the change of the dining style on campus. Annie Peretz, a Farragut, Tenn. freshman, is interested in the new variety Crossroads has to offer, "I would love to be able to get refills on drinks and food and not have to worry about paying for them every time."
Other students are not excited about the change, Tiffany Walpole, a Nashville freshman is uninterested about the changes to Campus Crossroads. "I went to Crossroads once, but I didn't even buy anything because they don't accept meal plans." Once Walpole learned about "The Unlimited" meal plan she still was not excited to go to Crossroads "I could never eat that much, it's too expensive anyway, I think I'm going to get the $600 meal plan, so I'm not limited to one place."
Three of the four new meal plans cost $1312.50, which is much more costly than in years past. In one semester (which is typically 16 weeks) the total cost of a week of 14 meals is $82 a week with the new system.
The new crossroads will include many different menu choices that students have not seen before in crossroads or even in the UC. The revamped crossroads will feature a Wood-Fired Pizza place, an International Cuisine option, and a Home Cooked Favorites section for us hungry Mocs.
UTC has made a lot of changes over its 125 years and with the renovations of one of UTC's most favorable dining locations, Campus Crossroads' will have a lot to offer for many years to come.

Hellickson ready to go for 2014 debut vs. KC
Rays right-hander has been working in rehab stints to regain command of fastball
By David Adler / MLB.com
ST. PETERSBURG -- Rays pitcher Jeremy Hellickson is set to make his first start of the 2014 season on Tuesday against the Royals following offseason elbow surgery.
The right-hander said on Monday that he is ready to go.
"I'm excited," Hellickson said. "It's definitely been a long time, but it's felt even longer. I was expecting to be back a month ago and, you know, had a couple of setbacks. But I'm feeling good now."
Hellickson said that he didn't think he would be on a pitch or innings limit on Tuesday, and manager Joe Maddon confirmed that on Monday afternoon.
"No, he's ready to roll," Maddon said. "He's been properly re-stretched up to 100-110 pitches, like he would normally do. I don't like Helly plus-110 very often -- so I'm saying if he's between 100 and 110 with a Rays lead in the sixth or the seventh inning, that would be kind of nice."
Hellickson had a couple of rough rehab starts with Triple-A Durham, which he said were due to a lack of command of his fastball. Other than that, though, Hellickson said that he didn't work on much in particular during his rehab assignment.
"I don't know, I was just trying to get outs the whole time and working on the fastball command, mostly," Hellickson said. "And that wasn't going too well, but the last one, I was happy with the way the last one went and hopefully can take that over to tomorrow."
Hellickson also said there wasn't any specific way to get that fastball command back, other than getting out there and throwing.
To make room for Hellickson, veteran left-hander Erik Bedard, who had been filling the fifth starter slot, was moved to the bullpen.
Rays ink No. 3 international prospect Rondon
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays confirmed the signing of Dominican prospect Adrian Rondon on Monday, his 16th birthday.
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound shortstop, ranked No. 3 on MLB.com's Top 30 International Prospects list, received a $2.95 million signing bonus.
"I'm happy for myself and for my family, and I thank God," Rondon said. "I'm thankful for the opportunity to sign. It's a dream come true, truthfully, not for the money, but for the chance to compete in the Major Leagues. It's truly going to change my life. I've worked for this every day from 7 [a.m.] to 7 at night to have this chance. There were many sacrifices."
Rondon has fluid actions on offense and defense, and he never seems out of control. He projects to be a solid defender with a decent arm, quick feet and natural baseball instincts. The teenager is also expected to stay at shortstop because of his advanced skill set.
On offense, Rondon is known for making solid contact and has gap-to-gap power. He has shown a good approach at the plate, and he starred during his appearances in International Prospect League games in the Dominican Republic.
Rondon is trained by Astin Jacobo.
In accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement, each team is allotted a $700,000 base and a bonus pool based on the team's record in 2013 for the international signing period that started on July 2. Tampa Bay's bonus pool total for this year's signing period was $1,998,100, which would have put the Rays in line for a penalty, but the club made an accompanying trade with the signing to add money to its bonus pool.
The Rays sent Minor League pitcher Matt Ramsey to the Marlins for their second-, third-, and fourth-round bonus slots for the 2014-15 signing period, the value of which is just over $1 million. Added to the original $1,998,100 pool, that would give the Rays the requisite amount to sign Rondon without exceeding their bonus pool.
The Rays could still incur a penalty if they sign additional prospects that put them over the limit, but the trade gives them more room to work with.
Teams that exceed the pools by 0 to 5 percent have to pay 100 percent tax, and teams that exceed the pools by 5 to 10 percent are not allowed to sign a player for more than $500,000 during the next signing period and have to pay a 100 percent tax on the pool overage. Teams that exceed the pools by 10 to 15 percent are not allowed to sign a player for more than $300,000 during the next signing period and have to pay a 100 percent tax on the pool overage. In the most severe penalty, teams that exceed the pool by 15 percent or more are not allowed to sign a player for more than $300,000 during the next two signing periods, in addition to paying a 100 percent tax on the pool overage.
Bedard shifts from Rays' rotation to 'pen role
ST. PETERSBURG -- To make room for Jeremy Hellickson's return to the Tampa Bay rotation on Tuesday, veteran left-hander Erik Bedard, who had been occupying the fifth starter role, was moved to the bullpen.
Bedard started the season as a long man out of the 'pen, but he soon stepped into an injury-depleted rotation. He had a stretch of five straight starts allowing one earned run or fewer from April to May, but the southpaw has been rocky over the last month or so.
"Overall, you look at his body of work," manager Joe Maddon said. "He's had some really good games and some where it was, like, four innings or less. So, you look at the body of work coming into this moment. Helly's ready. So what do you do? You make your best guess. Our best guess is, let's put Frenchy back there and give Helly a chance to become Helly again."
Rookie Jake Odorizzi has earned his place in the rotation, according to the skipper.
"You're not gonna take Odo out of the rotation right now," Maddon said.
Odorizzi, who had won the fifth starter's job out of Spring Training, struggled early on and was not pitching deep into games. But he has rebounded strongly, especially since early June.
"I liked Odo from the beginning," Maddon said. "I remember back when he was not getting results, I thought he was throwing the ball well and having a lot of bad luck."

Dear members,
I'm so impressed with Thera Nagasena's answers. By the way Heinous Crimes :
killing one's mother, one's father, an arahant, drawing blood from a
Tathàgata or violating a nun (the Sinhalese also gives damaging a bodhi tree). One
guilty of these offences should not be ordained. If they are ordained they should be
King Milinda and Thera Nagasena
[The Questions Of King Milinda,Translated by T.W.Rhys Davids]
King: [255] 'Venerable Nâgasena, suppose a layman had been guilty of'Heinous Crimes', and some time after should enter the Order. And neither he himself should be aware that when still a layman he had so been guilty, nor should any one else inform him, saying: "When a layman you were guilty of such an offence." Now if he were to devote himself to the attainment of Arahatship 2, would he be able so to comprehend the Truth as to succeed in entering upon the Excellent Way?'
Nagasena: 'No, O king, he would not.'
King: 'But why not, Sir?'
Nagasena: 'That, in him, which might have been the cause of his grasping the Truth has been, in him, destroyed. No comprehension can therefore take place.'
King: 'Venerable Nâgasena, your people say:
"To him who is aware (of an offence) there comes
remorse. When remorse has arisen there is an obstruction in the heart. To him whose heart is obstructed there is no comprehension of the Truth 1."
'Why should there then be no such comprehension to one not aware of his offence, feeling no remorse, remaining with a quiet heart. This dilemma touches on two irreconcilable statements. Think well before you solve it.'
Nagasena: 'Would selected seed 2, O king, successfully sown in a well-ploughed, well-watered, fertile soil, come to maturity?'
King: 'Certainly, Sir!'
Nagasena: 'But would the same seed grow on the surface of a thick slab of rock?'
King:'Of course not.'
Nagasena:'Why then should the same seed grow in the mud, and not on the rock?'
King: 'Because on the rock the cause for its growth does not exist. Seeds cannot grow without a cause.'
Nagasena: 'Just so, O king, the cause by reason of which his comprehension of the Truth (his conversion) might have been brought about, has been rooted out in him. Conversion cannot take place without a cause.'
King: '[Give me, Sir, another simile 3.']
Nagasena:'Well, O king, will sticks and clods and cudgels 4
and clubs find a resting-place in the air, in the same way as they do on the ground?'
King: 'No, Sir.'
Nagasena:'But what is the reason why they come to rest on the earth, when they will not stand in the air?'
King:'There is no cause in the air for their stability, and without a cause they will [256] not stand.'
Nagasena: 'Just so, O king, by that fault of his the cause for his conversion has been removed. And without a cause there can be no conversion. Now will fire, O king, burn in water in the same way as it will on land?'
King:'No, Sir.'
Nagasena: 'But why not?'
King: 'Because in water the conditions precedent for burning do not exist. And there can be no burning without them.'
Nagasena: 'Just so, O king, are the conditions precedent to conversion destroyed in him by that offence of his. And when the conditions which would bring it about are destroyed there can be no conversion.'
King: 'Venerable Nâgasena, think over this matter once more. I am not yet convinced about it. Persuade me by some reason how such obstruction can occur in the case of one not aware of his offence, and feeling therefore no remorse.'
Nagasena: 'Would the Halâhala 1 poison, O king, if eaten by
a man who did not know he had eaten it, take away his life?'
King: 'Yes, Sir.'
Nagasena:'Just so, O king, is there an obstruction to his comprehension of the Truth, who, without being aware of it, has committed a sin. And would fire, O king, burn a man who walked into it unawares?'
King: 'Yes, Sir.'
Nagasena:'Well, just so in the case you put. Or would a venomous snake, if it bit a man without his knowing it, kill him?'
King: 'Yes, Sir.'
Nagasena:'Well, just so in the case you put. And is it not true that Samana Kolañña, the king of Kalinga,--when surrounded by the seven treasures of a sovereign overlord he went mounted on his state elephant to pay a visit to his relatives,--was not able to pass the Tree of Wisdom, though he was not aware that it was there 1? Well, of the same kind is the reason why one who has committed an offence, even though he know it not, is nevertheless incapable of rising to the knowledge of the Truth.'
King: 'Verily, Nâgasena, this must be the word of the Conqueror. To find any fault with it were vain. And this (explanation of yours) must be the meaning of it. I accept it as you say.'

This just in: Mike Liberthal to retire in June, as a Phil.
The former catcher, who spent 13 of his 14 Major League seasons in Philadelphia and holds the franchise record for games caught, before playing his final season in 2007 with his hometown Los Angeles Dodgers, will officially retire as a Phillie on June 1.
The last player to end his career in this manner was Doug Glanville in 2005.
"Philadelphia has always been a second home to me, so I'm really looking forward to this," said Lieberthal in a statement. "I spent half my life there and still follow the team closely on television."
That became a running joke with members of the Dodgers last season, who routinely pointed out that Lieberthal had the Phillies game on in the clubhouse, and always followed their exploits.
When the Dodgers came in last season, teammate Randy Wolf, who played with Lieberthal with the Phillies and Dodgers, said, "I follow [the Phillies] at a safe distance. He tailgates."
Originally selected by the Phillies as the third overall pick in the 1990 First-Year Player Draft behind Chipper Jones (Braves) and Tony Clark (Tigers), Lieberthal caught 1,139 games for Philadelphia, despite seven trips to the disabled list.
In 13 seasons with the Phillies — he debuted on June 20, 1994, fitting, against the Dodgers in Los Angeles — Lieberthal hit .275 with 150 home runs and 609 RBIs in 1,174 games. He batted .234 with one RBI in 38 games.
A two-time All-Star (1999-2000), Lieberthal became the sixth catcher in to hit .300 with 30 home runs in a season, something he did in 1999. He was the first Phillies player to reach those numbers in the same season since Mike Schmidt in 1981. (HT/Phillies.com)
Now this is interesting. Nice move on the part of both the Phils and Mike. I just can't wait to find out how they'll do it.

Volume 7 Number 12 March 19, 2010
Dear Floridian:
This week I was pleased that legislation I proposed to help save millions of dollars by reforming our state's risk management program passed unanimously in House and Senate committees. These reforms are based on business best practices and advice from private sector risk management experts that I asked to help. Last year, our Risk Management Division saved $12 million by refocusing their efforts, and if this common-sense legislation passes, it will help us save even more money.
Also this week was "Sunshine Week", and I took the opportunity to highlight the many ways we are working in the Department to make government more transparent and accountable for the citizens of Florida. For instance, did you know that our Sunshine Spending web site launched last year is averaging more than 1,400 visitors every month? This site allows citizens to track which companies are getting your state tax dollars, and is a wonderful way for everyday Floridians to hold officials accountable.
I will continue to use the lessons I learned in business to cut costs and hold Tallahassee more accountable to the people of Florida.
Alex Sink
State of Florida
On Friday, CFO Sink met with a diverse group of leaders from different sectors of Florida at the Leadership Florida Class XXVIII meeting in Tallahassee. In her remarks to the group, CFO Sink discussed the importance of aggressively seeking leadership roles to become better leaders through experience. Addressing the state's current budget situation, CFO Sink described the connection between Florida's economic difficulties and the state's need to support small businesses and entrepreneurs to grow and diversify Florida's economy, and the importance of investing in public education to build a 21st century workforce.
Leadership Florida was created in 1982 by the Florida Chamber of Commerce to bring together and train individuals who have proven their leadership abilities, passion about our state and commitment to make great things happen for Florida. CFO Sink is a graduate of Leadership Florida Class IV. Above: Leadership Florida President Wendy Abberger, left; CFO Sink, right.
Florida CFO Alex Sink, in recognition of Sunshine Week 2010, reported that the Sunshine Spending web site launched during the 2009 open government celebration is averaging more than 1,400 visitors per month. Sunshine Spending allows Floridians to track payments to vendors getting state dollars.
"In just the three short years I have been in office, I have worked to make Florida's government more open and accountable to our taxpayers," said CFO Sink. "I am delighted that especially in these challenging economic times, Floridians are making use of these online tools to become more informed about how their tax dollars are being spent."
An avid proponent of making state and local government more accessible to the public, CFO Sink has implemented several innovative solutions to promote open government within her Department of Financial Services (DFS) including:
Florida CFO Alex Sink this week commended the Florida House Government Operations Appropriations Committee for unanimously passing legislation that implements recommendations made by CFO Sink to strengthen the state's Risk Management program and reduce workers' compensation costs to the state.
"I applaud Chairman Hays and his colleagues for recognizing the importance of this legislation, which holds state agencies accountable and emphasizes loss prevention," said CFO Sink. "In the business world, it is accepted that you must inspect what you expect, and these program modifications allow us to do just that."
In January, CFO Sink announced $12 million in taxpayer savings through businesslike reforms in CFO Sink's Division of Risk Management, including refocusing on loss prevention and addressing agencies with the highest claims numbers. These reforms were based on business best practices and advice from private sector risk management experts and led to the creation of CFO Sink's Risk Management Advisory Council.
Based on CFO Sink's recommendations, key elements of the legislation passed today (GOA 10-02) include establishing return-to-work programs in state agencies, basing agency premiums on actual loss experience and giving CFO Sink's Division of Risk Management the authority for evaluating state agencies' risk management programs and ensuring necessary corrective measures are taken.
Risk management is responsible for identifying and controlling exposure to loss or injury resulting from the daily operation of Florida's government. Through the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Division of Risk Management delivers sound, professional guidance to Florida's 48 state agencies and universities to help control loss and mitigate risk.
Florida CFO Alex Sink on Monday announced that her statewide sweep of staged accident scammers last week resulted in the arrest of 20 suspects, including arrests in Ft. Myers, Miami, Orlando, Pensacola, Tampa, and West Palm Beach. Since July 2009, CFO Sink's investigators have arrested 259 people for PIP fraud, culminating in 156 convictions. Insurance fraud is a third degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison.
"Staged accidents put every Floridian at risk, both physically and financially," said CFO Alex Sink. "I am taking aggressive action every day to get these scammers off our streets and behind bars where they belong."
According to statistics from CFO Sink's Division of Insurance Fraud (DIF), Personal Injury Protection (PIP) fraud is the most reported type of fraud, accounting for 30 percent of all referrals received in FY 2008-09. DIF has seven PIP fraud squads dedicated solely to investigating PIP fraud across the state. These squads are located in the division's Central and South Florida regional offices where PIP fraud is most prevalent. Each squad works in cooperation with local law enforcement and consumer groups.
"Medical fraud crimes (PIP) can be among the most intricate types of fraud to investigate," said National Insurance Crime Bureau Director Ron W. Poindexter. "Being able to build coalitions and collectively bring proactive resources to bear against these crimes is critical to our success. Our partnership with CFO Sink's division is an example of the coalition building that benefits both consumers and industry."
Most Common Types of PIP Fraud:
Sweep Arrests To Date:
Tampa (3)
Miami (8)
Ft Myers (4)
West Palm Beach(1)
Orlando (3)
Pensacola (1)
CFO Sink's Division of Insurance Fraud made over 830 insurance fraud-related arrests in the last fiscal year, and investigates various forms of insurance fraud relating to health, life, auto, property and workers' compensation insurance policies. Depending on the estimated loss amount, the Department of Financial Services will pay up to $25,000 for information directly leading to an arrest and conviction. Anyone with information about this or any other suspected insurance fraud is asked to call CFO Sink's Fraud Fighters Hotline at 1-800-378-0445 or visit www.MyFloridaCFO.com/fraud.
Just about everyone can agree that accidents happen, but what should consumers do when they find themselves in an automobile accident? The Office of the Insurance Consumer Advocate would like to share some information regarding automobile insurance and accident protocol.
When on the road, drivers should always have their insurance cards and the phone numbers of their insurance company and agent on hand. The Office of the Insurance Consumer Advocate has a few tips that motorists should keep in mind if they find themselves in an accident:
There are also some important issues for consumers to note when preparing to get their vehicle repaired:
Consumers with questions regarding auto insurance and auto insurance protocol should contact the Division of Consumer Services within the Department of Financial Services on-line at http://www.myfloridacfo.com/Consumers/ or by phone at 1-877-MY-FL-CFO (1-877-693-5236), toll-free in Florida, and (850) 413-3089 from out of state.
Online banking, bill paying and shopping are conveniences that many people enjoy today. And most of the time, high-tech transactions are completed quickly and securely. However, just as with other transactions, in a small percentage of cases something goes wrong. That's why you need to take precautions against theft and errors.
Even as banks and merchants tighten up security, Internet thieves devise new, sophisticated ways to trick consumers into sending money or into revealing information that can be used to commit fraud.
"Today's Internet threats wear many different disguises, from fake web sites to fraudulent text messages on cell phones," warned Michael Benardo, chief of the FDIC's Cyber-Fraud and Financial Crimes Section. "That's why online consumers need to be aware that they may be targeted and they should always be on guard."
David Nelson, an FDIC fraud specialist, added: "Online fraud is an ongoing game of cat and mouse. Crooks continuously hunt for security holes, banks and merchants plug those holes, and then the criminals find new ones to slink through. But consumers play an important role in keeping crooks at bay by being aware of the potential risks, taking precautions and remaining vigilant." Read more.

What do vishing, smishing, skimming, phishing, pharming and spyware have in common?
Identity theft. These newly crafted words are different ways bad guys can access your personal information. Once they get the right details about you, crooks can get to your bank accounts, your insurance policies and your credit cards to steal your money.
To protect yourself and your family, beware of these scams:
Vishing: Voice phishing, or an automated voice message that directs you to call your bank or credit card company. Under the pretext of clearing up a problem like theft, you'll be asked to share personal or account information.
Smishing: Text messages sent to your cell phone appear to be from a trusted source and ask you to confirm confidential information. Stands for "short message service."
Skimming: An altered ATM slot and cameras that record account and password information; also, dishonest store or restaurant employees can use a portable card reader to steal card information.
Phishing: An email from a trusted source like a government agency or bank, asking for account information, login or password. Legitimate organizations never request verification of sensitive information by email or phone. Do not click on any link in the email - it can lead to a copycat web site capable of infecting your computer with worms, viruses or other infections.
Pharming: A redirect from a legitimate web site to an impostor site to "farm" personal data you provide. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are also being targeted for this activity.
Spyware: Illicit software from email attachments, popup windows or corrupt songs or games that can reach out to your computer to gain confidential information.
To reduce your risk of identity theft, always shred paperwork and receipts containing personal or account information. Lock up unneeded credit cards and your Social Security card. Examine monthly credit card and bank statements for errors. Order your free report from the three major credit bureaus at www.annualcreditreport.com and monitor your credit reports for erroneous or fraudulent activity. Make online purchases from known web sites and look for "https" in the address to indicate a secure site. Keep a list of your cards and bank and credit card issuers' names and phone numbers handy so you can quickly report a loss.
Birds are essential to keeping Florida ecosystems healthy. They are part of the food chain in forests, scrub, beaches, and even urban landscapes. In addition, birds bring in millions of dollars per year in tourism to Florida -- bird enthusiasts come to our state from all over the world, especially in the winter months.
Develop a bird-friendly yard, and encourage the conservation of our feathered friends. Here are a few ways to bring birds into your daily life, and in doing so, you will develop hobbies that do not use much energy:
1. Learn about the birds in your area. Keep track of the songs, flocks, and nests that might exist in your neighborhood. If you have a cell phone or iPod, consider buying an application that includes bird songs and a field guide, all contained in your pocket! Apple has iBird Pro, and Audubon is just about to launch a special Florida field guide application that covers birds as well as reptiles, animals, plants and other wildlife. If you have children, consider buying them binoculars as a birthday gift.
2. Plant a bird-friendly yard. Check out this website: www.audubonathome.org or other sources of information about planting natives that encourage bird life, and especially vegetation that birds enjoy for nesting and roosting.
3. Check out local birding sites. Contact your tourist bureau or the local Audubon Society. Talk with your neighbors about developing a bird-friend neighborhood. This will create a larger habitat with more birds, and ultimately provide more biodiversity in your community.
Every day, hundreds of Floridians fall victim to financial fraud. Many of these victims are trusting seniors who were misled into making risky or inappropriate financial investments including annuities and reverse mortgages by unscrupulous agents and scam artists, In response, CFO Alex Sink created the Safeguard Our Seniors (SOS) Task Force to develop solutions to better protect Florida seniors from falling victim to financial fraud.
The Department of Financial Services offers these Safeguard Our Seniors events for seniors and their caregivers to learn how to guard against fraud and scams targeting seniors.

You've probably seen her at the bus stop, tapping her toes and checking her watch every five seconds, mumbling curses directed at the late bus driver, who isn't actually late yet anyway. Her clones are in every town, and they all think they know what's best for mass transit. Think you got the right stuff to do better? Cities in Motion isn't the flashiest game out there, but this spiritual successor to Transportation Tycoon might give you a new appreciation for the complexities and ever-changing demands of public transportation.
Through my time with the game, which only allowed the tutorial and a sandbox mode in Vienna, I was able to get a good sense of how the game operates. The towns are pre-made, meaning you don't really have any say which building goes where, or how streets are connected. You're dropped into a living economy that has preset economic situations. It was my job to keep an eye on which parts required the needs to get from A to B.
Starting out, I was able to lay down bus routes, but eventually went on to create a tram system, metro lines, a water bus system and even helicopter stations for the filthy rich. Not all modes of transportation are created equal though. Nicer looking buses, for example, can hold less people and are prone to break down more frequently. Rather than just frivolously placing down routes and transport lines, I had to carefully scope out the city and make sure that needs were met, as the only way to make some money is if your popularity rises.
Making a bus line first requires you to place stops around the city. After that you connect those stops in a logical order with a bus line. The last part is picking out a particular vehicle that suits your needs, and all that's left is to activate your line and watch as you hopefully profit from your new public transportation line. The neat thing is that every person in the city is clickable and provides some valuable information, including current job, home, if they own a car, where they're headed and more. This turns out to be an invaluable tool when wanting to micromanage the needs of single citizens, that might further influence an entire area.
The idea is to get as many people using your modes of transportation as possible, which sometimes requires the need of advertising. Different forms of advertisement attract different people. For instance billboards are mostly looked at by tourists, the internet is most popular with students, and TV commercials are most popular with blue collar workers. It's important to correlate these advertisements with the types of people you want to attract. Of course things can always go wrong, and you might end up spending slightly more than intended. That's why loans are available, to get you out of that low money situation and into a lifetime of debt.
While the game controlled well, it does have a few glaring issues with the interface. The tutorial manages to explain the process of everything well, but leaves it up to players to find everything on their own. I spent a good 10 minutes looking for a simple button that was hidden away in a menu, when the menu and button could have easily been illuminated. It's a minor gripe but one that left me confused for most of the tutorial, when I was supposed to be learning how the game works.
Though not available yet, Cities in Motion will span a century from the 1920's all the way to 2020. The changes in decades will bring forth changes in technology, which will require players to also adapt with improved means of transportation.

Constituent Update - October 25, 2013
FSIS Posts Second Quarter Salmonella, Campylobacter Report
Today, the agency posted to its website the second quarterly progress report of calendar year (CY) 2013 on Salmonella and Campylobacter testing of selected raw meat and poultry products. This report provides preliminary data from April to June 2013 on all establishments eligible for Salmonella testing that have completed at least two sampling verification sets since June 2006.
As of March 2013, of all establishments in all product classes (i.e., broiler, ground beef, ground chicken, ground turkey, turkey), 80.6 percent are in category 1, which illustrates an increase from first quarter CY 2013. From 174 broiler establishments, 2955 samples were analyzed with a 2.6 percent positive rate, representing a decrease from the 3.5 percent positive rate for first quarter CY 2013. Ongoing adjustments in category percentages are expected as establishments transition into the July 2011 tightened performance standards. Percent positive for overall sampling and Category 3 rates have not increased during this period. This table lists percentages of broiler establishments by category as of June 2013.
FSIS continues to post monthly the names of broiler establishments demonstrating variable or inconsistent process control. The agency highlights performance for the broiler class because of its negative impact on foodborne illness. Since April 2008, FSIS has been posting category 3 broiler carcass establishment names. FSIS will continue to post monthly the names of poultry establishments demonstrating variable or inconsistent process control. The complete report and program details are at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/wcm/connect/fsis-content/internet/main/topics/data-collection-and-reports/microbiology/quarterly-reports-salmonella/quarterly-progress-reports.
Note: This is also the ninth quarter to include Campylobacter sampling results for young chicken and turkey carcasses. A follow-up Constituent Update will be issued to discuss these results in greater detail as more data becomes available.
FSIS Policy Update
FSIS issues notices and directives to protect public health. All notices and directives are available at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/regulations. The following policy updates were recently issued:
- Notice 68-13, Verifying Donation of Misbranded and Economically Adulterated Meat and Poultry Products
- Notice 69-13, Containers for Use When Collecting Raw Beef Samples For Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia Coli (STEC) and Salmonella Testing
Export Requirements
The Library of Export Requirements has been updated to reflect changes in export requirements for the following areas:
- Cambodia
- Japan
- Mexico
- Myanmar
Complete information can be found at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/international-affairs/exporting-products.
2013 Residue Sampling Plans (Blue Book)
FSIS is publishing a quarterly report that summarizes the chemical residue results for the U.S. National Residue Program for meat, poultry and egg products (NRP). From the stakeholder perspective, FSIS' quarterly publication of chemical residue testing results will increase both the program transparency and frequency of access. The report is intended to supplement the annual U.S. NRP Residue Sample Results which is known as the Red Book, will continue to be published.
This is an opportunity to provide stakeholders and the public more timely information on chemical residues in FSIS-regulated meat, poultry and egg products. This information provides industry (i.e., pharmaceuticals, producers, and veterinarians working with producers) more timely information to effectively respond to chemical residue violations. This information also complements other agency residue information made public: Residue Repeat Violator List, NRP Sampling Plan (Blue Book) and the NRP Residue Sample Results.
The report can be found at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/data-collection-and-reports/chemistry/blue-books/ct_index.
FSIS and FDA Study Aims to Enhance Food Safety in Retail Delis
To help minimize the public health burden of listeriosis, FSIS and FDA have produced a major study to better understand the risk of foodborne illness associated with eating certain foods prepared in retail delicatessens and what changes in current practices may improve the safety of those products. The study, a quantitative risk assessment, provides a scientific evaluation of the risk of foodborne illness associated with consumption of meats, cheeses and other ready-to-eat foods prepared in retail delis and examines interventions that limit the survival, growth or transmission of the disease-causing bacteria.
The study was presented at a joint FSIS-FDA public meeting at USDA's Jefferson Auditorium in Washington, D.C., on May 22, 2013. A transcript and presentations from that meeting can be found at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/newsroom/meetings/past-meetings#lmra.
The study was updated in response to public comments. A final report, interpretive summary, response to peer review comments, and responses to public comments along with additional scenario analyses are available at the following agency websites:
- FSIS website: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/science/risk-assessments
- FDA website: http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodScienceResearch/RiskSafetyAssessment/default.htm

FSIS Releases New Guidance to Standardize Humane Handling
On October 23, FSIS announced new guidance—FSIS Compliance Guide for a Systematic Approach to the Humane Handling of Livestock—to support the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act. The new guidance provides a systematic approach that establishments can follow to minimize excitement, discomfort and accidental injury of animals presented for slaughter.
The new guidance was developed to address several humane handling incidents cited in the spring 2013 Office of Inspector General report. As of this year, half of all livestock slaughter establishments have adopted the systematic approach to humane handling, meeting the agency's strategic objective three years early. The guidance will be particularly helpful for small and very small slaughter establishments to address humane handling issues. As more establishments adopt these practices, the treatment of animals will be more consistent across the nation.
