Editor's Note: The following is a guest post by Jeremy Bikman. You can read more about the GE and Microsoft Venture on EMR and EHR.
Guest Post: Jeremy Bikman is Chairman at KATALUS Advisors, a strategic consulting firm focused on the healthcare vertical. We help vendors grow, guide hospitals into the future, and advise private equity groups on their investments. Our clients are found in North America, Europe, and Asia. www.KATALUSadvisors.com
Healthcare is being held hostage and it doesn't even know it.
It is held hostage by burdensome regulations, by archaic practices, and (oddly enough) by technology itself. In this age of Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, an age where anybody with internet access can connect to somebody else on the other side of the globe and share personal information and other data with the click of a mouse, it is impossible that you could visit a hospital in the next town over and they would be able to procure your personal health information as easily or as quickly.
Healthcare, globally and locally, is utterly huge and mind-blowingly complex, and thus absolutely needs the very best innovation of everybody involved. Yet, healthcare technology companies almost universally deliver products which are built on closed-minded concepts. They lock down their platforms, creating real barriers to interoperability, patient data exchange, and actual innovation. This is the present reality within, and across, practically every hospital on earth. The recently announced joint venture between GE and Microsoft offers hope of an alternate reality, one where hospitals can bring together data streams from all over the enterprise, while utilizing new innovations and technology as they see fit, including different best-of-breed sources.
Giving Hospitals a New Choice
There are huge flaws in how technology is delivered in healthcare today, flaws which impact quality of care within a hospital and across the entire industry irrespective of country or region. While the rest of the tech world is moving towards open platforms and collaborative delivery models, healthcare seems to be stuck in the dark ages of single-source solutions which compel all-or-nothing investments to the tune of millions and millions of dollars. Too often those investments fail. But, the more important question is why must hospitals be forced into all-or-nothing decisions in the first place? Why must they choose between integration and functionality, between a single platform, however mediocre, and a best-of-breed mix? We believe those are questions of the antiquated past and that brave new innovation can deliver a new avenue for hospitals who refuse to be painted into a corner. Hospitals shouldn't have to choose between apples and oranges. They want, and should be able to get, both.
The Basics of the Joint Venture
Selected product lines from both companies' health groups will be part of the new company. These products were chosen for their specific focus on "empowering connected patient-centric care."
GE is contributing an interoperable clinical data model and decision support system via Qualibria. GE's eHealth is an HIE solution in use at a large number of sites in North America. Microsoft is bringing Amalga to the table, which is a data aggregation platform which facilitates interoperability and a host of other advanced capabilities. Vergence and expreSSO come through Microsoft's acquisition of Sentillion and provide strong context management and single sign-on solutions. The strategy appears to be one of leveraging Microsoft's platform technology (Amalga) to underpin GE's clinical depth (Qualibria, eHealth). Additionally, this model will allow hospitals and vendors to integrate best-of-breed 3rd party products into the ecosystem as they see fit. This mix of products and capabilities will enable a true best-of-breed environment emerge while still having the core elements of integration as well. This ecosystem will be powered by the partnership's own applications and those built by ISVs. No other major vendor offers this unique model and set of abilities, although Allscripts is the one traditional EMR vendor that is building a strategy of accepting of 3rd party solutions.
Tackling the Big Problems
No one is saying that this joint venture is guaranteed to be a resounding success. However, we applaud the visionary model and risks this new team is taking. It looks like they want to address all the big hairy obstacles that every provider organization, region, and nation is facing. Big data? Absolutely. Enterprise analytics and business intelligence? Yes. Clinical decision support? For sure. Population management? You bet. Nobody else in the industry has shown they can tackle these issues even though every hospital is clamoring for this type of model. So why not this joint venture between GE and Microsoft? We say good luck, and more power to them.
The principals of KATALUS Advisors have worked with hundreds of healthcare organizations, vendors, and other consulting firms across the globe. The opinions expressed here are our own and are not intended to promote any specific vendor and do not reflect those of any other organization or individual.

The Running Doctor: A cold or flu need rest
Recommended Video:
The athlete with a cold needs rest, not exercise. One should not run or exercise vigorously with a cold, flu, or any viral infection that causes a fever. Although only certain organ systems produce symptoms, the entire body is affected.
It is very important to keep a daily record of your morning pulse when you begin training for any sport or type of exercise program. While still lying in bed, take your pulse a few minutes after awakening in the morning. As your training progresses, your pulse will gradually become slower; and after two or three months, it will plateau. After this point, if your rate is 10 or more beats higher one morning; it means you have not recovered from your previous day's run, race, or stress. It is then advisable to take at least one day off until the pulse returns to normal.
The cold is an early warning sign of exhaustion resulting in a breakdown of the body's defense system. Influenza may then gain its entry to the body systems starting with a sore throat and then possibly progressing to a cough. This virus in some way has the ability to get into the cells, reproducing itself, attacking the outer layer of the cell, killing it and moving on to attack another cell.
The utmost caution should be taken when you return to exercise, because it's very difficult to know how much fatigue has built up during the actual lay-off from your sport. This body fatigue often leads to the overuse syndrome and injury. Since the muscles can no longer act as shock absorbers, the joints, as well as the muscles, are injured. This fatigue can take many forms such as staleness in performance which can result in the feeling of heavy legs, loss of zest, poor performance, or a rapid pulse.
A cold is a message from your body that you are overstrained. Wait at least three days and make sure there is no fever before returning to your training. You should rest and keep a good nutritional balance. It has been found that some athletes have had their best performance after the proper and sensible rest period following a cold.

For nearly two decades, Sports Illustrated has stirred the tea leaves to discern a weekly Sign of the Apocalypse. Deadspin salutes the magazine's ongoing effort to cover the end of times but declines to cede the scoop on the biggest event in world history.
Here's SI's Sign of the Apocalypse this week:
Kenichi Ito of Japan, who says he spent nine years developing his technique, modeled on the gait of African patas monkey, set a world record (17.47 seconds) for running 100 meters on all fours.
We've wondered for some time when the spate of goofy-ass (and perhaps even monkey-inspired) world records would successfully usher in doomsday. Any species that would designate a loudest burp in the world would seem to tempt fates. Ditto a man putting on 155 T-shirts at once. Or a child who tries to kick himself in the face more and faster than anyone else ever. How Mr. Ito's particular feat of face-down Gollum-scrambling rises to the status of apocalyptic harbinger is beyond us, but then, SI is the established authority in such matters.
Undeterred, Deadspin also watched this week's news, and chose this among many worthy candidates as our weekly Sign of the Apocalypse:
The five hottest European summers of the past 500 years have all occurred in the past decade, according to a 300-page European Environment Agency report that predicted further rising temperatures and decreased precipitation on the continent this century.

WASHINGTON - The White House says President Barack Obama plans to make a statement following a meeting with congressional leaders on the fiscal cliff.
Obama met Friday for about an hour with House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.
The White House is trying to build support for a proposal it presented a week ago, when Obama urged lawmakers to preserve tax cuts for most Americans while letting rates rise on incomes above $250,000 a year. At the same time, Obama wants lawmakers to extend unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless.
Both sides are trying to prevent a toxic blend of middle-class tax increases and spending cuts from taking effect at the turn of the new year.

This is an interesting video as it brings up some pertinent issues. At first you may feel as if she was not doing the job she was hired for, and most who understand business will know that it is profit driven.
But here's what even she doesn't either know or address. Bank of America did NOTHING to produce the debt that the people now must repay at 29.99%, a rate of interest guaranteed to make any mobster blush, and one that is backed by no assets. Yes, that rate is USURY which is where one person immorally takes advantage of another person via money. That moral concept is rooted directly in the Bible, showing that the practice of controlling people with debt is nothing new.
So, who's to blame for the unplayable debts? The bank who marketed the accounts and printed money from nothing with no backing whatsoever while charging 30% interest, the very same ones who are supposed to be the experts in the field of money, OR was it the knuckleheaded college student or young couple trying to raise their children while trying to afford overpriced housing? They are both equally at fault you say? I say they are both at fault, but it is not equal, and note simply that we are seeing more and more videos like this.

A traveling salesman was lost on a lonely country road and stopped to ask a farmer for directions. The farmer thought a few minutes and finally replied, "You can't get there from here."
That conclusion matches how I feel about the current argument over the right to bear arms. Will gun control legislation reduce gun violence? Maybe. Maybe not. The situation is a lot like that farmer's horses already out of the barn before the door is shut. There are enough guns circulating to give everyone, toddlers and above, at least one. And arguments against gun control laws whittle down proposed legislation using barn-door logic. It's too late, why try?
Let's think bigger than magazine capacity and assault weapon necessity. The "gun lobby" is about sales not rights. Just because the Second Amendment is in the Constitution doesn't mean it is necessary. It is not. The Constitution has been changed 27 times; the Founding Fathers didn't foresee everything that would require amendment centuries down the road. Excellent arguments have been presented on this opinion page documenting the fact that in 1791 a citizen had to bring his own gun to a militia call-up; one was not provided.
Today, the Second Amendment is superfluous. Assertions that citizens must be ready to overthrow tyrannical government are insulting to city and state law enforcement, the National Guard, and five branches of the Defense Department. Lost causes like that of rebel states in the Civil War are made by those who despise government in any form, especially the promise in the preamble to the Constitution to provide for a more perfect union. The "militias" of today hide behind stockades out in the woods hoping to evade taxes.
Bigger thinking today requires asking different questions. For example: Why is there a general perception that the NRA has congress by its short hairs? A recent survey shows the NRA's Victory Fund spent over $11 Million on candidates in the 2012 election, with 0.44 percent supporting winners.
Or, how about a better question: How do we change our culture of violence? Arguments about gun rights divert our attention for a paradigm shift away from our role as the world's policeman. Got trouble? Call in the Marines? Need military backup? We'll build a military base anywhere. And we have. Need to overthrow a tyrant? We've got spies for that.
We're built to fight and we expect to win. Why not? We invest in weapons from pistols to nuclear war heads inventoried by the thousands, enough to obliterate civilization five times over and leave the handful it will take to neutralize minor rogue states.
That farmer wouldn't puzzle too long before realizing another you-can't-get-there-from-here conundrum. Our culture is full of violence. Too much of our "entertainment" is based on killing whatever moves. And finally, we talk a lot about mental health, but leave out actual dollars to improve it. Many argue vehemently against a human right to healthcare, a fact staring each of us in the face, while insisting on an archaic right to bear arms and overthrow a tyrant king of the 18th century.
Longmont is a "happy town" because we have been teaching peace since 1996. It can't be said too many times. The opposite of bearing arms in a culture of violence is community action to steer young offenders to law-abiding lives of peace. We even have a book for that written by Beverly Title called Teaching Peace. It is relevant today and tells the story of our restorative justice program now known as the Longmont Community Justice Partnership (LCJP). And partnership is the key word. Residents like you and me are working now in partnership with our police, our schools, and city government. Longmont is not sitting back waiting for the state of Colorado to act or Congress and the White House to decide magazine size or the necessity of assault weapons.
Here is relevant fact: Each year hundreds of our youths are referred to a community justice circle. They take responsibility and repair any harm done to victims and the community. The success rate is phenomenal. There is a 98% satisfaction rate by all involved in the circle, including community volunteers, offenders, victims, and the police who participate in 85 percent of all circles. This is our teaching peace process. Historically the recidivism, repeat offense, rate is about 7 percent compared to Boulder County's 50 percent and a national rate much higher at around two-thirds!
Join us, stack arms and learn how to teach peace. Visit www.lcjp.org, or call 303-776-1527.

After all, the whole point of snowshoes is to make it possible to walk in deep snow.
You received snowshoes for Christmas? Or maybe you got them for Christmas last winter, the winter that wasn't. Now is the time to use them.
If you don't own snowshoes, by the way, you can rent them by the day. Both REI and Eastern Mountain Sports shops rent them. Sales of snowshoes, of course, are booming since the big storm.
Another option is Winding Trails in Farmington, a sprawling outdoor recreation facility where you can rent snowshoes and tromp along a dedicated snowshoe trail all in one stop. It is a good choice for beginners.
"Nothing is very difficult; it is moderate, rolling terrain," said Robb Armstrong, outdoor adventure director at Winding Trails. Follow the snowshoe trail then trek along Lake Dunning and you can put together a walk of three miles. "There is a lot of open space here for people," Armstrong said.
A three-mile hike in snowshoes will be plenty of exercise for most people, especially the first time out for the season. You probably know what it is like to walk in soft, deep beach sand; same idea with snowshoeing. It can be very tiring.
Getting the hang of it is easy. You'll want to spread your legs a bit more than usual. That's about it.
Given that many parts of the state got more than 2 feet of snow, the snowshoe options right now are almost endless. Many people were snowshoeing in their neighborhoods the day after the storm. In fact, when many streets were not plowed for a day or two, it was the easiest way to get around.
There is so much snow that most municipal parks could be explored on snowshoes. Pope Park in Hartford has plenty of open space. Do not, however, cross streams or ponds. The ice may not be safe.
State parks and state forests are a great choice.
Consider American Legion and Peoples state forests in Barkhamsted, American Legion on the west side of the Farmington River and Peoples on the east side. Take East River Road and park in the Peoples forest parking lot on the left, about 1 mile north of the bridge in Pleasant Valley. You'll be able to follow the Farmington River, with some nice views, over gently rolling terrain. Or, on the other side of East River Road take one of the trails that ascends the hills rising above the river. Even if the temperature is below freezing, you likely will find yourself perspiring before long.
In Union, Bigelow Hollow State Park has plenty of elbow room for snowshoers. Among the network of trails in the park is one that loops around Bigelow Pond. Mountain laurel is abundant around the pond, adding some deep green color to the landscape. Another choice is a round-trip trek of about 2 miles to Breakneck Pond.
In Litchfield County, the blue-blazed trail in Burr Pond State Park in Torrington loops the pond. It is about 2 miles in length with no steep ascents or descents.
Cockaponset State Forest in Haddam and Chester is laced with trails, two of them reserved for foot travel only, ideal for a snowshoe outing. Even coastal preserves, like Bluff Point State Park in Groton, which often have far less snow than inland, are covered with snow this winter. A wide trail at Bluff Point leads to ocean views from the bluff and should make for a good snowshoe walk.

Does anyone know of an explicit effective lower bound for $|L(1,\chi)|$, where $\chi$ is an odd complex (primitive) Dirichlet character?
I know of Landau's paper Uber Dirichletsche Reihen mit komplexen Charakteren, where he bounds $$ |L(1,\chi)|>\frac{1}{c \log(q)},$$
where $q$ is the conductor of $\chi$, but the constant $c$ he gets is on the order of $e^{50}$, and is totally useless for computations.
I know of many papers dealing with quadratic characters but very few that address complex characters (explicitly).

A thriving metropolis located on a small island just off the southern coast of the Persian Gulf, Abu Dhabi is one of the new centers of international business. One century ago, this great city was a mere fishing village whose residents relied upon the sea for their sustenance. Today, it relies upon its vast reserves of petroleum and the great riches that have come along with them.
The capital of the United Arab Emirates is now one of the richest cities in the world, and its great wealth is reflected in its wide variety of comfortable and lush hotels. It may, in fact, be difficult for the traveler unfamiliar with this city to find affordable lodging because of the city's emphasis on luxury. As Abu Dhabi has opened up to western tourism, however, relatively inexpensive hotels with excellent service have begun to appear around the city. Here are just a few of the best hotels Abu Dhabi has to offer.
1) Cristal Salam Hotel
Travelers who are on a budget might be nervous about booking a room in the famously expensive city. However, there are relatively cheap options, and the best of these is the Cristal Salam Hotel. Located in the bustling eastern neighborhood of Madinat Zayed, a mere ten-minute drive from the center of the city, the Cristal Salam offers travelers top-rated service, excellent rooms, and a central location.
Rates for a room at the Cristal Salam Hotel start at around $60 per night. Few other hotels in Abu Dhabi feature similarly low rates, and none of those hotels offer the same kind of service as does the Cristal Salam. For these reasons, the Cristal Salam Hotel is very popular with tourists, so be sure to book early to ensure inexpensive lodging in the city.
2) Beach Rotana
Another hotel on the eastern end of Abu Dhabi, the Beach Rotana is a great choice for travelers who want the convenience of easy access to the beach without having to leave their hotel. The Beach Rotana offers both great service and direct access to the beach, which also includes beachside bars and pools. Popular restaurants at the Rotana include Indigo, a "modern Indian" restaurant; Trader Vic's, a French Polynesian restaurant; and the internationally known Japanese steakhouse chain Benihana.
Rooms at the Rotana let out for about $100 per night and up, but special deals are frequently available. Even at the regular rate, however, a room at the Rotana is more than worth it – visitors have easy access to both the beach and Abu Dhabi Mall, a massive retail center in the eastern Madinat Zayed district of the city. Lovers of suntanning, swimming, and shopping can't ask for anything more out of a hotel.
3) Hilton Abu Dhabi
For those tourists who want to stick with the tried and true, the Hilton Abu Dhabi might be the best choice available. The Hilton features excellent service, well-maintained and luxurious rooms, a beautiful view of the wealthy west end of the city, and great restaurants and bars. Travelers staying at the Hilton shouldn't miss out on Hemingway's, a restaurant and bar featuring a Middle Eastern take on Tex-Mex cuisine and live music. Attached to Hemingway's is the Jazz Bar & Club, a popular meeting place for tourists and resident expatriates alike.
The Hilton is located on the southwestern end of Abu Dhabi Island, about fifteen minutes away from the city center by car. Rates for a room at the Hilton are fairly reasonable, beginning at around $120 per night.
4) Jumeirah at Etihad Towers
Etihad Towers is a massive office, residence, and hotel complex in the west of Abu Dhabi. Developed by royal family member Sheikh Suroor Bin Mohammad Al-Nahyan and built by Australian architectural firm DBI Design, these five giant towers loom over Abu Dhabi, dwarfed only by the 74-story Sky Tower located on the other end of the city. Etihad Towers offers more than simple height, however – it also contains the Jumeirah, a top-rated five star hotel. The Jumeirah occupies one of the five towers and features luxurious rooms, excellent dining, and the best views to be had anywhere in Abu Dhabi. Visitors staying in Abu Dhabi for business purposes can take advantage of one of the thirteen meeting rooms available in the Jumeirah's conference center. The hotel's restaurant fare, which includes Lebanese, Japanese, and everything in between, stands up to the best food this city has to offer.
Naturally, the Jumeirah's luxury comes at a price. Rooms at the Jumeirah start at $200 per night. However, if you can afford the stay, the cost is well worth it, if only for the amazing view.
5) Emirates Palace
The undisputed champion in the fields of luxury and pure, unabashed decadence – this title is won handily by Emirates Palace, a hotel in the western Al-Ras Al-Akhdar district of Abu Dhabi. To simply call Emirates Palace a "hotel" is not doing it justice, however. This 85-hectare complex features stunning gardens and plazas. The hotel building itself truly is a palace – the interiors of its vast lobby and halls are decorated in gold, and the exterior gives off a Middle Eastern fairy tale feel, as though the entire structure had been pulled right out of the One Thousand and One Nights.
Some of the Palace's astounding features include a beautifully-maintained 1.3 kilometer stretch of private beach, forty conference rooms for visitors in Abu Dhabi on business, and a wide variety of international cuisine. Etoiles Bar and Havana Bar are popular get-together spots for expatriates who don't mind dropping 30 dirhams ($8) on a beer, and the lobby itself features a cafe service for both guests and non-guest visitors. One of the cafe's most popular items is the 24-karat gold-topped cappuccino, which is a normal cappuccino sprinkled with real gold dust.
Emirates Palace is, hands down, the most expensive hotel in Abu Dhabi, with rooms starting at $400 per night and quickly rising to $2,000 for the deluxe suites. Fortunately for those travelers who want a taste of extreme luxury at the Palace but can't afford a room, the hotel's lobby and restaurants are open to the public. Indeed, Emirates Palace is one of the top tourist destinations in the city, and for good reason. Nowhere is the sheer wealth of Abu Dhabi more overtly displayed than at this incredibly luxurious hotel.

The Seashore encompasses 44,000 acres of protected land between Chatham and Provincetown, with 135 acres of fresh water ponds, 40 miles of beaches and 11 walking trails. Most of the public areas lie on the outer Cape, in Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown. Wildlife, including seals (gray and harbor), deer, wild turkeys and many shorebirds and raptors roam the wild areas preserved by an act of Congress in 1961.
On a rainy beach day, two large black eyes glint from the crest of a wave at Coastguard Beach in Eastham. A gray seal peers out, curious about the brightly colored rain jackets scattered across the shore, human eyes peering back.
"In this hazy realm on the shore, our two worlds meet," says Jenna Sammartino, Park Interpreter for the Cape Cod National Seashore. "They are just as curious about us, as we are about them."
The Seashore encompasses 44,000 acres of protected land between Chatham and Provincetown, with 135 acres of fresh water ponds, 40 miles of beaches and 11 walking trails. Most of the public areas lie on the outer Cape, in Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown. Wildlife, including seals (gray and harbor), deer, wild turkeys and many shorebirds and raptors roam the wild areas preserved by an act of Congress in 1961.
Mostly free interpretive programs are offered summer through fall, with a handful in the offseason. Many activities await those who venture beyond one of the six lifeguarded beaches, such as hikes through scrubby pine forests to the sea's edge, guided night canoe trips, lighthouse tours, surfcasting, bicycling, and even clamming.
Here's our choices for seven days of activities, but be sure to check the Seashore visitor centers (listed here) for complete schedules or the Web site.Day 1 Salt Pond Visitor Center, Eastham
The visitor center overlooks the largest saltwater pond on the Cape, that ebbs and flows with the tide and leads to the maze of Nauset Marsh channels. Stop by to pick up trail maps, and learn about the natural history of the area or view one of the many free 15-minute films about Cape geology or wildlife. Then hike on one of the two nature trails (one, a short boardwalk for the blind with brail signs).
Depending on the day, sign up for a canoe excursion, take a shoreline stroll, or learn about authors and artists associated with the Seashore through interpretive programs.
Watch for great blue herons and other avian life in the marsh, or bike one-and-a-half miles to Coast Guard Beach.Day 2 Marconi Station and White Cedar Swamp, Wellfleet
The first two-way transatlantic communication and wireless telegram between America and Europe took place here. After studying the exhibit, view both the bay and the Atlantic from the platform on the high sand cliffs.
A rare visit to a white cedar swamp feels like a visit back in time. This half-mile-trail starts with heathlands, goes through woodlands, and finally a boardwalk through a cool, moss-covered, white cedar swamp (wear bug spray). Cedar swamps are rare habitat because of changing land use.Day 3 Province Lands, Truro and Provincetown
Learn how animals find fresh water in the arid dunes, or discover one of the original wild cranberry bogs that farmer's have since cultivated. A guided dune walk is a good idea, since folks have been known to get lost in the ever-shifting soft sands. A family orienteering program at the visitor center could help, if venturing solo.
After July 1, night programs such as canoeing (fee), hiking, stargazing on the beach or campfires are great ways to expand your perspective of the Cape.Don't miss the 5-mile paved bike loop through the dunes. Day 4 Great Island Hike, Wellfleet
At the beginning of the wooded trail to Great Island, seashells, feathers, bird bones, and other beach treasures pile atop a grave of an anonymous Wampanoag. Follow the trail a short distance through woods to the Marsh, then along dunes where rare Diamond Back Terrapins nest. On Cape Cod, the tide turns constantly so it could mean wading through salt water on the return of the 8-mile loop. Swim at Great Beach overlooking Wellfleet Harbor and Cape Cod Bay on the way back. Park at the end of Chequesset Neck Road in Wellfleet.Day 5
Old Harbor Life Saving Station, Provincetown and Highland Light, Truro
Thousands of shipwrecks caused the United States to build life saving stations where "surfmen" lived to save lives of those whose ships wrecked. From this station, one of 13 original Cape life saving stations, built in 1898, the men rushed out in wooden boats, threw cables attached with buoys that had a large canvas seat sewn into them. The lucky survivors would slide across the water in these breeches buoys. On Thursday evenings, a re-enactment of what could be Winslow Homer's famous illustration of a breeches buoy rescue in "The Life Line" takes place. Call for dates of seasonal open houses during day hours. Park at Race Point Beach.
Be sure to take a tour of Highland Light and Highland House Museum in Truro on the way. (508-487-1121) to see lighthouse and visit the museum filled with some interesting artifacts, including arrowheads and Pilgrim memorabilia.Day 6 Fort Hill, the Penniman House, Eastham
Many artists paint views of Nauset Marsh from Fort Hill, and local musicians sing about tromping through the area. The trail is one and a half miles, accessed from Governor Prence Road off Route 6. Don't forget to branch off onto the half-mile Red Maple Swamp Trail, and notice the red color of the soil from the bark.
Edward Penniman, one of the most successful whalers, built the grand Penniman House in 1868 at this location. Tours are available by reservation (508-255-3421).Day 7 Ocean beach day
Whether seeking crowds or isolation, visit one of the seven pristine ocean beaches that offering big surf and wide sandy stretches where even on a crowded day, a 10-minute walk in either direction will lead to isolation.

Most American cities and towns can fine you if your front yard is cluttered, if your party gets too loud or if you add onto your house without a permit. These nuisance and code violations are usually handled with a relatively small fine and a request to fix the problem. Now some cities in Southern California are prosecuting code violators criminally and slapping homeowners with gigantic legal bills that they can't afford to pay. NPR's Eric Westervelt has our story from the Coachella Valley.
ERIC WESTERVELT, BYLINE: Ramona Morales, who turns 80 in May, is technically a criminal. Her offense - chickens - not hers, actually. They were her tenants'.
RAMONA MORALES: Beautiful chickens, beautiful roosters.
WESTERVELT: Beautiful but annoying and against the City of Indio's municipal code. An inspector in this sunbaked Coachella Valley city sent her tenants and then Ramona several warnings. The chickens got to go. When she finally went to the city to clear it all up, she was baffled to find out she had to go to court. She was being criminally prosecuted for her tenants' annoying chickens.
MORALES: In the court, they told me, how do you plead - guilty, not guilty? I have to say guilty because if I don't say guilty, I have to pay for the lawyers. I say guilty. I pay $225.
WESTERVELT: And you thought that was the end of it.
MORALES: Yes, but it wasn't like that.
WESTERVELT: It wasn't like that at all. She soon got a legal bill for $5,659. That's on top of the fine she'd already paid. The city says it's what it costs to prosecute her. She borrowed money from her son who's in the Marine Corps to pay the nearly $6,000.
MORALES: That much money for some roosters I think is way too much. It's unfair.
WESTERVELT: The cost recovery bill she got was from the private law firm of Silver & Wright that the City of Indio had hired. California law allows cities to recover all costs for nuisance crimes, including attorney's fees, if the city has the appropriate ordinances. Attorneys at Silver & Wright have helped about a dozen California cities rewrite their codes, including Indio and neighboring Coachella, to expand the kind of property violations that constitute a public nuisance and to make cost recovery easier.
CESAR GARCIA: My name is Cesar Garcia. And I get a fine for the City of Coachella of 31,000 for code violations.
WESTERVELT: Thirty-one thousand because Garcia didn't get a permit for an addition on his house, a small add-on room in the back his wife needed to expand her state-licensed home-based child care business. Garcia commutes three hours a day to his job as a grocery store manager. He doesn't have 31 grand to spare. He now deeply regrets he didn't pull a permit and worries he could lose everything he's worked for.
GARCIA: The letter that I receive - they say that if I don't pay the 31,000, they're going to put a lien on my house. You know, to lose my house - you know, that's too much.
WESTERVELT: The law firm's co-founder Curtis Wright says neither the city nor his firm is trying to take away anyone's home, and he says it's still pretty rare to take nuisance cases the criminal route. But, Wright adds, sometimes fines and the civil process just don't work to get people to clean up their messes. I asked him if he thought the legal bills are proportionate to the no-permit addition and chickens in the yard crimes.
CURTIS WRIGHT: No, I don't think that they're proportionate. But you've got to understand that if the defendant is going to be uncooperative after they've - notices and administrative opportunity to comply and then we get into their criminal case and they're still not being cooperative and they're going to drag things out and drive up the public's cost, then the public's entitled to get that money back. It's not intended to be punitive at all.
WESTERVELT: But many of those who've been prosecuted criminally for annoyance violations say they were totally unaware and never warned that they faced potentially massive legal fees on top of local fines. Today the nonprofit legal group Institute for Justice filed a lawsuit alleging that it's unconstitutional for Silver & Wright and these cities to have a financial stake in the nuisance cases. Lead attorney Jeffrey Redfern...
JEFFREY REDFERN: There shouldn't be a business model for code enforcement. If this gets allowed by the courts, this model could really spread.
WESTERVELT: Redfern hopes others will join his lawsuit and that it gains statewide class-action status. Eric Westervelt, NPR News, Coachella, Calif. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Next is there any special brand to get or to avoid if I do need to replace it, my current one is Counter Assault.
Edit: It appears I should have done more research, I found the following on Amazon
However I'm still more than interested in hearing other input.How long does it last when not used?
The expiration date is on every canister. When we buy direct from the manufacturer, the expiration is always at least 5 years away, and sometimes a bit more. However, even after it's peak effectiveness drops off, it will remain reasonably effective for a few more years, though I would suggest replacing it soon after the expiration date. One thing to keep in mind is that the expiration is set well before it actually looses effectiveness.

Showtime Networks Teams With Brightcove to Revolutionize the 2008 Primetime Emmy(R) Campaign
Eco-Friendly Online outreach is first initiative in a broad relationship
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31 -- Showtime Networks is taking its
2008 Primetime Emmy(R) campaign online in a modern approach which provides
members of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS) an efficient
and eco- friendly option to screen eligible programming for awards
consideration. Working with Internet TV leader Brightcove Inc., they will
deliver a customized Internet-based experience that allows voting members
to view full seasons of Showtime's original series beginning February 15
and throughout the June balloting and final August judging phases. SHOWTIME
is the first network to make entire seasons available to Academy members
via the internet.
Showtime will utilize Brightcove's soon-to-be-released Internet TV
service, "Brightcove Show," an innovative Internet TV application that
delivers an instant, full screen, broadcast quality viewing experience
direct to each member's computer through standard Web browsers. Showtime
will send a brochure/mailer with program information and select episodes on
three DVD's (down from 20 last year) along with a unique passcode that will
allow access to an ATAS members only site,
http://sho.com/foryourconsideration, to view full seasons of its signature
original programming eligible for Primetime Emmy Award consideration.
Members will be able to stream complete current seasons of "Weeds,"
"Dexter," "Brotherhood," Californication," and "The L Word (R)". Shows that
have yet to debut on the network --"The Tudors Season 2," "Tracey Ullman's
State of the Union," "This American Life Season 2," and a new television
film "An American Crime," starring Catherine Keener (CAPOTE) and Ellen Page
(JUNO) -- will roll out throughout the campaign season as they become
"This year's Primetime Emmy campaign initiative was driven by a goal to
create a new and unique way for voters to view Showtime's eligible
programming anywhere in the U.S," said Richard Licata, Executive Vice
President, Corporate Communications for Showtime. "Rob Hayes, Senior Vice
President/General Manager, Showtime Digital Media, suggested we collaborate
with the creative minds at Brightcove -- a win-win not only for Showtime
and its programming but for the thousands who will enjoy this cutting edge
TV/internet experience. This will eliminate the enormous amount of
packaging which has inundated members and ultimately ends up in our
landfills," he added.
"Showtime's rollout of Brightcove Show to support its 2008 Primetime
Emmy Campaign is demonstrative of the network's continued willingness to
push innovation on all fronts, from its original programming to the way it
interacts with Academy members," said Jeremy Allaire, Brightcove Chairman
and CEO. "This campaign is the latest extension of Brightcove and
Showtime's ongoing relationship to deliver high quality web video to
Showtime's broader online audience. We look forward to helping Showtime
execute a successful Primetime Emmy campaign."
This initiative is the first in an overall working partnership between
the two companies, which includes Showtime's use of Brightcove for the
programming and distribution of video content on http://www.sho.com, the network's
official home on the Internet.
The new Showtime Emmy site will be live exclusively to Television
Academy members as of February 15, 2008.

March 2, 2013
NORFOLK, Va. - In the final day of the 2013 CAA Swimming and Diving Championships in Fairfax, Va, Old Dominion won five medals, posted four NCAA B-cuts and set three school records. Throughout the past four days, ODU broke 14 total school records, won 12 medals and posted 11 NCAA B-cuts.
Old Dominion University's Sidni Hoxha won the Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet award for the 2013 Men's CAA Championships. Over the course of this tournament, Hoxha won the 50 and 200 free races, placed second in the 400 free relay and third in the 800 free relay. Hoxha set two school records (50 and 200 free) and posted one NCAA B-cut time (200 free).
In the 200 back on Saturday morning, three-time finalist Kimberley Rashleigh set the school and conference record with a time of 1:57.30. Those records would not last long, as Rashleigh swam a 1:56.46 on her way to victory in the 200 back finals on Saturday night and broke her own school and conference records. Rashleigh's time also places her on the NCAA B-cut list.
Reed Mathews had a magical race in the 200 fly, as he placed second with a time of 1:47.11. Mathews's time was four seconds faster than his previous PR. Mathews set a new school record and is now on the NCAA B-cut list. Francisco Byrne placed fifth with a time of 1:49.53; while Jason Brame finished in 14th with a time of 1:51.26.
Bernardo Figueiredo took the silver medal in the 1650 free. Figueiredo's time of 15:27.18, not only was enough for a second place finish but also NCAA consideration. Hector Tricas Vidas placed eighth in the 1650 with a time of 15:48.85.
Old Dominion's 400 free relay team (Sidni Hoxha, Vitor Sa, Andrew Crockett and Ben Hansen) set a new school record (2:57.55) and earned themselves silver medals.
Jessica Hubert (2:00.03) capped off her final conference championship with a bronze medal in the 200 fly. In the preliminaries, Hubert swam a 1:59.26, which places her on the NCAA B-cut list. Danielle Naylor (2:04.31) placed 12th overall and fourth in the consolation finals of the 200 fly. Ashley Luchsinger (2:04.95) placed 14th overall and sixth in the consolation finals.
Vitor Sa set his PR (44.91) and jumped-up from sixth in the preliminaries to fourth in the finals in the 100 free. Sidni Hoxha unofficially touched the wall in 43.56 for the 100 free finals, but was later disqualified for a false start. Hoxha's time would have received NCAA consideration, won him a gold medal and set new school and conference records.
In the women's 1650 free, Yesim Giresunlu (16:47.88) placed fifth; Danielle Naylor (16:57.85) placed tenth and Abby Vance (17:03.74) placed fourteenth.
The Lady Monarch 400 free relay team consisting of Kimberley Rashleigh, Savannah Bowers, Ashley Luchsinger and Morgan Johnson placed ninth with a time of 3:30.19. During the relay, Rashleigh swam her 100 free first in 51.09, which set a new school record.
Jason Haigh swam a 2:01.31 and finished ninth overall in the 200 breast. Edward Hubert finished in 2:06.41 and placed 15th.
Ryan Telep placed sixteenth overall in the 200 back finals. On Saturday morning, Telep swam a 1:50.37, which was three seconds faster than his previous best.

From MarineSpecies Introduced Traits Wiki
Definition of biomagnification:
Biomagnification is bioaccumulation through ingestion of prey items. It causes contaminant concentration to increase with increasing trophic level. Because of biomagnification low trofic level species (like phytoplancton) have a lower contaminent concentration than high trophic level species (like birds). [1].
This is the common definition for biomagnification, other definitions can be discussed in the article
A contaminant will biomagnify if it is bioaccumulated by every step of the foodchain. This means that each step of the food chain has to excrete less of the substance than it takes in. [2]

Single of the Week!
Tashaki Miyaki - 'Tashaki Miyaki Sings The Everly Brothers' (For Us)
You could argue that a deathly pale, k-hole-occupying, curtains-drawn approach to a cover version is no different or less calculated than wanging your latest effort into The Wub Machine. But I have loved The Everly Brothers ever since I stole the cassette out of my Dad's Volvo aged ten and am not in a cynical frame of mind; Tashaki Miyaki's version of 'All I Have To Do Is Dream' is absolutely topping, a song for hopers who don't have it in themselves to hope any more. Full of anguish and wallow, it is. (B-side here.
Clock Opera - 'Man Made' (Moshi Moshi / Island)
Clock Opera are by no means a terrible band - in many ways they are more ambitious than half the stuff that plops through my door. But in the video a jeggings-clad, beautiful young lady applies hair pomade and a Freddie Mercury mustache before making pancakes on rollerskates and then making two old men wear the pancakes as masks before making them snog so she can film them with an enormous 1980s video camera. Which doesn't so much 'bring the song alive' as it does 'make me want to ask Clock Opera why they are being deliberately obtuse'. Also, the press release tells me 'Man Made' is inspired by Graham Rawle's marvelously odd, cut-up graphic novel Woman's World. Which is 'great and everything', but it's kind of like me saying this column was inspired by Pnin.
Spiritualised - 'Hey Jane' (Double Six / Spaceman Recordings)
I am not going to lie, reading about Jason Pierce and how he NEARLY DIED about ten times always brings out the Mum in me - he provokes similar reactions as do Arctic Explorers, Solo Round The World Yachtsmen and Michelin-Starred Chefs. By which I mean, I should be thinking about spiritual quests and rock'n'roll and bliss and torpor and BEING SUNG TO BY FALLEN ANGELS and - to give him his due - I did once; I saw Spiritualized at ATP and me and the three chaps I stood with were ruined, bawling like orphans, we was. But mostly when I am reading about Jason Pierce or called upon to appreciate his art I am thinking NEVER MIND YOUR LIVER, WHAT ABOUT YOUR BLOODY WIFE. 'Hey Jane' is apparently about the love of his life, of course, but you won't know that from watching the video because it is an absolutely wretched watch. Having conjured the world in all its shitty glory, they then almost gleefully rub your whole face and hair in it. It's all quite tiring, if you ask me.
Mafia Lights - 'Spiriting' (LuvLuvLuv)
Mafia Lights have written a song about people talking to themselves and it is quite the woozer, all mini kaleida-bursts of synth sparkle and wonky vocals put through the theremin. The thing is, if you are going to write a song about people talking to themselves it would be nice if it wasn't just limited to 'talking to yourself in your head' as it is here. I mean, 'talking to yourself in your head' is quite good, especially if you are at a car boot sale and you are in front of a load of old toot and thinking, at the same time as smiling at the seller, 'My god, what a load of old toot'. I mean, what if it took in all the shades; running the gamut from 'Asking yourself what you came upstairs for' to 'Imagining you are being interviewed by Mark Lawson slash James Lipton about your amazing novel slash bravura turn in that incendiary indie film' to 'Asking the cat what exactly is its problem'. In many ways, you see, 'Spiriting' is pleasant and wobbly and nice. But I just feel like a song about the first sign of madness should sound as neurotic as the subject demands.
Herman Dune - 'Monument Park' EP (Fortuna POP!)
'Drunk But Not With Wine' is (obviously enough) a slow, bassy pulse-a-thon about being so imbued with feeling because of an unrequited pash that you feel rat-arsed. 'Blessing & A Curse' has the amiable pace of a 'Walk The Line' (as well as some of its on-high, avuncular wisdom). And 'Monument Park' is just Herman Dune being their usual, knowing, archly jolly selves. It's all uncommonly diverting if a little arm's length - sometimes with Herman Dune you get the impression that they know what they're supposed to write songs about so that's what they do. But very occasionally it feels a little imagined; songs for Rosaline, rather than Juliet.
Laid Back - 'Cosyland' EP (Brother Music)
On 'Get Laid Back', Laid Back are going to show all you toddlers how it is done. Especially if, by 'it' you mean Slow Rude Synth Waltzes In The Manner Of The Sun Rising But Which Actually Predate The Sun Rising by Some Eight Years (which I do). It's got all these little steel drum runs on it that really have no business being there but sound too, too perfect. But then, considering 'Cosyland' EP was originally recorded in 1981 on (what were then) newly-minted Roland Rhythm Boxes; as well as the fact that Laid Back's pedigree includes this sort of thing I suspect none of their brilliance is accidentally arrived at or studio happenstance. It helps that John Guldberg has the sonorous, bossily sexy tone of the best disco narrators; a voice you can't help but obey, no matter how saucy his commands. Ace.
Kelpe - 'I Felt Fuzzy' (Svetlana Industries)
'I Felt Fuzzy' is as glitchy as it is beaming, and it is putting me in mind of all the other sounds I have lazily filed in the same mental shoebox - not least Bullion's Songs In The Key Of Dee / all those ace Death Before Distemper comps and Toro Y Moi (when he is not, ack, 'chillwave'). One of the most impressive things about 'I Felt Fuzzy' is that it is not electronic music that is trying to squeeze itself into the latest denims even though its arse is too big; also there is that appealing air of music that is Mobius-looped; so it all joins up, even if you're not sure how.
Fuxa - 'Our Lips Are Sealed' (Rocket Girl)
It is a rare week when more than one cover version is as good as it thinks it is. And this isn't that week, because Fuxa's take on 'Our Lips Are Sealed' isn't even in bloody tune 80% of the time. For some reason I am still rather fond of it, because having dispensed with the scrappy, bleached roots and frosted pink lipstick of the original (and on that subject, oh my, so beautiful), they've forged, instead, a soporific space-pop single that drifts at you, as if through fog. I mean, it can barely even be arsed to be a single, but there's something compelling about how naive it is.
The Cribs - 'Come On, Be A No-One' (Wichita)
I had a party this weekend and someone put on 'Hey Scenesters' and I thought Oh-God-Hey-Scenesters-what-idiot-paid-good-money-for-this-old-shit-oh-yes-me, before realising that if you use NME features to formulate your opinion of bands you will end up thinking all musicians are dicks even if you find their songs enlivening enough to spend good money on. Anyway, 'Come On, Be A No-One' is a scrappy urchin of a single, it is spoiling for a fight as well as being guaranteed to be the last thing you hear before you throw your shoe out of your bedroom window at some young people who are singing it at half past two on a Sunday morning. Some bands make you feel like they write songs specifically in order for those songs to be sung by students on the way home from celebrating their latest turgid essay in which they managed to use the word 'multifarious' or 'obfuscate' without really knowing what it means. But then, if those songs are quite catchy, you should maybe get over yourself.

To me, cooking and baking are so closely related to giving, sharing, and bringing people together. You can give a new neighbor a warm apple pie to welcome them to the neighborhood. You can share a decadent, homemade chocolate dessert with friends or your main squeeze (Though, really, who wants to share that?). And, you can bring people together like thirty caring, food-lovin' women for the National Food Bloggers Bake Sale, dedicated to the cause of ending childhood hunger in America.
There are so many ways to give, share, and bring people together with food, and this bake sale, which I'm participating in tomorrow morning and afternoon, is a shining example of how to do all those things, and how to do them for a great cause.
I've already heard about a few delicious desserts planned for the sale, which will be held in The Grove in Los Angeles from 10am to 2pm, but I think I'm more excited about getting to know the girls behind them! I'm planning on bringing these delicious Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies, as well as a batch of Bacon-Cheddar Scones.
Until now, my best sugar cookie recipe was from the Betty Crocker bag of mix, but I knew I had to try and try until I had a genuine sugar cookie made from the heart. I must have gone through about five recipes, well over eight sticks of butter, and at least one pound added to my scale before finally deciding on this recipe. In my opinion, these are some of the best sugar cookies I've come across, and best of all, they're easy to work with!
With spring in the air and cookie cutters coming out of the pantry for bake sales, birthday parties and wedding showers, everyone's in need of a good sugar cookie recipe and a little color in their cookie, and this recipe is sure to please your partygoers.
Just don't forget to share!
Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 3 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, butter, cream cheese, salt, almond and vanilla extracts, and egg yolk. Beat until smooth. Stir in flour until well blended. Form the dough into two equal-sized disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill the dough for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ¼-inch thickness. Keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to use. Cut into desired shapes with lightly floured cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light and golden brown. Cool cookies completely before frosting.
- Enjoy!

BELVIDERE — Defending NIC-10 Track MVP Todd Berkenpas had planned on being at his very best right about now.
And everything was working itself out perfectly for the Belvidere North standout — that is, until a bone bruise on his heel set everything back three weeks ago, leaving his status, and his effectiveness for Friday's conference meet, up in the air.
"It's so important to me; it's my last year, and my last chance," Berkenpas said. "And then this happens. I just have to hope I can get it together quick enough."
Now he has the pressure of knowing he's not 100 percent as he tries to help the Blue Thunder hold off Hononegah to defend its outdoor title. His father, the former Mr. Iowa basketball star and a track and field guy in his own right, is hoping he can help.
"I know, deep down inside, Todd really wants to go out and win some conference titles again," said the elder Todd Berkenpas, who qualified for the Iowa state track meet in 1981. "The timing just stinks, too. He was just telling me: 'Dad, I think I'm peaking at just the right time.' And then he hurts his heel.
"Whatever happens, the best advice I gave him was that this is going to be one of those character experiences for him on Friday. He won't walk away, and he won't use the heel as an excuse. That's not him. He'll give it his all."
Berkenpas has cleared 6-foot-7 in the high jump, has soared 43-3 in the triple jump and has run a 15.40 in the 110 high hurdles and 42.30 in the 300 intermediate hurdles. All of those numbers put him right in the mix for conference titles, and for state bids at next week's sectionals.
But those all came before the heel injury. Since then he's only competed in a half of a meet, having to bow out due to pain.
And with Hononegah entering as the deepest team in the region, and coming off an 18-point victory at the indoor conference meet, it will take everything the Blue Thunder have to reel the Indians in.
"Todd is at like 85 percent, and we'll just have to see on Friday if that'll be enough," North coach Troy Yunk said. "It's going to take a lot, though. (Hononegah) is so deep, we're going to have to pull out some special efforts to catch them."
The Indians won the indoor title, and that was without their top sprinter (Alex Martin) and young up-and-comer Michael Hill in the 400. Headed into the outdoor championships, they are clearly viewed as the team to beat.
Martin holds the top regular-season time in the 100 (11.14) and is one spot behind Berkenpass in the triple jump (42-4 1/2), and Hill's 50.78 is the best 400 time this year. Ben Rosplock is a contender in both throws, and Hononegah's Corey Lawson has cleared 13-0 in the pole vault and Ryan Polfliet has cleared 6-4 in the high jump, putting both of them in the mix for titles as well.
Jefferson put up a fight in the indoor meet, and the J-Hawks finished a close third at the outdoor meet last year. Tony Mazzola finished third at state in the indoor pole vault and has cleared a conference-best 13-9 this season. And East's Josh Tibble, a transfer from Jefferson, has the top reported 100 (10.40) in the area this season.
Harlem will rely on the throwing prowess of Kyle Kling and Jared Kern. Kling has the league's best shot put (56-3) while Kern is in the mix in both the shot and discus. The Huskies' Tim Martin should gain points in the sprints as well.

Michele K. Nishiguchi, Ph.D
Michele "Nish" Nishiguchi is presently a professor of Biology at New Mexico State University. She has focused her work on the evolutionary ecology between marine invertebrates and their symbiotic bacteria. Despite being a marine biologist in the middle of the Chihuahuan desert, Nish manages to chase after squid and their bioluminescent bacteria in places such as the Indo-West Pacific and Mediterranean Seas, and manages to eat some calamari along the way. Besides tasting good, they are the coolest, smartest, and most impressive molluscs around, because they have figured out a way to live peacefully with bacteria that allow them to control light, a behavior called counterillumination. She has been passionate about reaching out to students in the Southwest, and introducing them to marine biology and microbial ecology. She has trained a number of students from underrepresented groups (postdocs, graduate and undergraduate), and continues her commitment to increasing diversity through research, teaching, and outreach.

The developer cautioned that the "regulatory environment continues to be challenging", with the upcoming federal election "exacerbating the uncertainty to a point where the market for new renewable energy project development is very weak".
This means that "the appetite to contract existing assets is poor", the firm added.
This has depressed the large-scale generation certificate spot price to low A$30s level. However, average Australian prices are expected to be around the same as last year due to contract escalation and a higher carbon price.
In March the Climate Change Authority stuck with its renewable energy target (RET) to generate 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020. However, Infigen said: "Vested interests in the fossil fuel generation sector continue to lobby forcefully to reduce the RET."
The centre-right Liberal Party is ahead in the polls, and if it won in the September election there could be a change in policy direction, with party leader Tony Abbot having ramped up the anti-wind rhetoric.
Infigen's net loss for the year to 30 June was A$80 million (US$ 71.9 million), but this included a non-cash impairment of A$58.4 million due to a write down in the value of US assets. Discounting this, the loss was A$21.6 million, a A$34.3 million improvement on the year before.
Revenue showed an upward trend, climbing 7% to A$286 million, and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation increased by 13% to A$158.2 million.
