Josh and I originally came up with the idea while bashing movie critic websites and their influence on movie goers. Both of us desperately tried to get our amateur reviews syndicated to major review syndication websites. We were declined, though not from a lack of effort.
The declination fueled a discussion about a movie website created specifically for members. One that would give great movie information and usable movie tools. "What if we could allow members to give their own opinions about movies, create movie lists, and talk about them in a unique constructive way?" I asked.
From that conversation, we knew we were going to make something special. Not only did we want members to be able to do all the things that critics do, but we wanted to give them solid, easy to read information so that users and members could make accurate movie decisions.
FilmCrave was created to not only allow members to give their own opinions but to be guided by others' recommendations on what movies to watch, rent, or buy.
Enjoy, ~ Alex

COLT makes move to automated fare boxes
Posted By Editor On November 30, 2010 @ 1:19 pm In Community News | Comments Disabled
City of Loveland Transit (COLT) recently upgraded all of its old, manual fare boxes to automated, electronic boxes on all City buses. The new fare boxes are able to quickly count change and electronically scan bus passes, much like credit card readers do.
The new boxes greatly enhance ease-of-use and convenience for transit riders by enabling them to pay their bus fare with a quick swipe of a card versus waiting to have an old punch-pass punched or other pass checked by the driver. The change counter also speeds fare collection by eradicating the arduous process of change counting for passengers and drivers alike.
"We're very happy to be able to provide even better customer service to our passengers with our new electronic fare boxes in place," said Marcy Abreo, Transit Manager. "The new boxes will help us achieve better on-time performance, improve administrative efficiency and provide a much more user-friendly system for both passengers and drivers."
In addition to the electronic fare boxes, COLT is now offering several new passes to further enhance ease-of-use and provide more pass options and flexibility for passengers.
*Photo Required
To purchase a bus pass, go to the COLT office, 410 E. Fifth St. from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bring a current ID. Cash, checks are accepted.
For more information on passes or the new automated fare boxes call COLT, 962-2700.

I've been thinking of a way to explain to straight white men how life works for them, without invoking the dreaded word "privilege," to which they react like vampires being fed a garlic tart at high noon. It's not that the word "privilege" is incorrect, it's that it's not their word. When confronted with "privilege," they fiddle with the word itself, and haul out the dictionaries and find every possible way to talk about the word but not any of the things the word signifies.
And the obligatory follow-up, A Child's Treasury of Deletions:
Yesterday's post garnered 800 comments before I put it to bed and I ended up deleting a record number of comments out of it, largely from presumably straight white men enraged at the idea their life doesn't necessarily suck as much as other folks' and/or because they ate lead paint chips as children and have impulse control issues (plus a couple from other, calmer folks following up on posts I later deleted, so theirs needed to be deleted too). Whatever the reason, I thought it would be fun to post a compendium of Malletings here for your enjoyment

Full detailed profile on Pamela Douglas Played by Alley Mills on The Bold and the Beautiful Daytime Soap Opera.
Alley Mills (CBS)
Pamela Douglas
Actor: Alley Mills Who played Pamela Douglas over the yearsAlley Mills (2006 - present) Useful information on Pamela Douglas* Nicknamed "Pammy" by sister Stephanie. |
Current: Secretary at Forrester Creations
Pamela willingly took on the role as the dutiful daughter and took care of her (and Stephanie's) mother after their father died. Stephanie went on to marry Eric and have the glamorous life of a fashion designer in Los Angeles, while Pamela and their mother remained in Chicago.
Pam, who'd done little more than exchange Christmas cards with sister Stephanie for years, was stunned when Stephanie suddenly turned up in her life again. Stephanie confided to Pam that she would need to confront their mother, Ann, about the abuse that she had suffered at the hands of their father in order for her life to be complete. Ann, ever the supporter of Stephanie, was aware of the abuse and had tried to protect Stephanie, which only made their bond stronger.
Pam supported Stephanie's decision to confront Ann and stood by her side while Stephanie relived the nightmare. When Ann refused to believe what Stephanie was saying as true, Eric was furious and stood by Pam and Stephanie's side.
Later, at Eric's request, Pam and Ann came to LA to celebrate Christmas with the Forresters. Pam right away bonded with Felicia (and had already bonded with Eric). At first Stephanie didn't want them there, but due to a loving gesture by Thorne's daughter, Ally, eventually came to forgive Ann and allow Ann and Pam to stay.
Stephanie spent some time in Chicago, getting some long-overdue mother-daughter bonding in, leaving Pam in LA with instructions to keep an eye on Eric, with whom Stephanie was estranged and with whom Jackie Marone was getting too close for comfort. Pam stayed and made the Forrester Mansion a warm and inviting home.
Pam had her work cut out for her, as Jackie was a demanding presence in the home and once, when Jackie too brazenly hit on Eric, Pam sent her packing in no uncertain terms. But, shamefully, Pam was falling for Eric herself. Eric asked her to stay in a guest house on the grounds and she accepted.
After an argument with Stephanie, Pam moved back to Chicago with Ann, but returned when Stephanie was shot. Pam didn't come back alone, as this time she brought with her a Doberman Pinscher named Tiny. She also had a new mission, which was to win Eric over for herself, but he was having an affair with Donna. She didn't let that stop her though, as she did everything in her power to get Donna out of Eric's life. With the help of Tiny, Pam began to terrorize Eric's new love. She had Tiny tear up one of Donna's thongs and instructed Tiny to literally chase Donna out of the house. Pam left town again when Ann called because Pam hadn't been taking her medication, which was needed for her recently revealed bipolar disorder.
Eric and Stephanie had an anniversary party, which brought Pam and Tiny back to town. Eric admitted to Pam that he was in love with Donna and intended to be with her. Pam stayed in town and began working at Forrester Creations as a receptionist and Eric and Stephanie began divorce proceedings.
With Eric and Donna now together, Pam began playing pranks on Donna in order to embarrass her out of Eric's life, so he would return to Stephanie. She did such things as turning her hair green, turning her teeth brown and locking her in a tanning booth. Pam bragged about her tricks to Stephanie, but the elder Douglas told her sister that she should leave Eric and Donna alone, because her relationship with Eric was definitely over. Things escalated however when Donna fed Tiny Pam's famous lemon bars and Tiny died of a preexisting heart condition.
Donna and Eric eventually married, but Pam was determined to get Eric and Stephanie back together. She went off her meds and began poisoning Eric in hopes of weakening him to make him realize he was too old for Donna. However, it backfired on her and Eric had a heart attack and landed in a coma. Donna went up to the Big Bear cabin for some alone time, but Pam followed her and tied her up to a chair, poured honey on her and left her to be attacked by a bear. Luckily, Owen found Donna in time, but Pam took off on the run.
While in hiding, Pam continued to terrorize Donna by hitting her mother with a car and orchestrating Marcus's cobra attack. She revealed herself to Donna and warned her she would do worse if Donna didn't stay away from Eric. Fearing for Eric (who had come out of his coma) and her family's safety, Donna did what Pam instructed and signed divorce papers.
Owen tipped Stephanie off to her sister's crazy antics and Stephanie and Eric put a plan in motion to lure Pam out of hiding. It worked, but Pam got so upset she passed out. Once at the hospital, it was revealed that Pam had a large mass on her brain that was probably the cause of her bizarre behavior. After surgery to have it removed, Pam didn't remember recent events, but apologized upon learning what she had done and begged for forgiveness. Stephanie and Eric convinced Donna not to testify against Pam so Ann could take her back to Chicago where she would receive treatment. Donna reluctantly agreed, but wasn't buying Pam's sudden innocent act.
When Stephen Logan decided to get back at Stephanie Forrester for his wife's death, he used Pam to do it. He convinced her he was in love with her and urged her to shoot her sister. The plan backfired, but Pam forgave Stephen and they eventually became engaged.
After Stephen ended their engagement, Pam blamed Stephanie for never accepting him and struck back by stealing Forrester designs for Nick and Jackie.

At Eric's, Hope calls the guests together to give thanks to the day's celebration while Liam and Wyatt both think they should celebrate Hope for being so incredible. They gush a bit until Bill breaks it up. Hope puts the focus back on Rick and Caroline, who surprise the guests by announcing their impromptu wedding. Eric offers to play the piano while Dayzee, Hope and Maya lead Caroline off to get ready. Charlie and Pam get to work on the wedding cake in the kitchen. She licks the batter off his finger and then they kiss. Bill finds Brooke outside and tells her he isn't giving up. She tells him it's over, but he is sure they will get back to where they were.
Back inside the Forrester Mansion, Quinn addresses Stephanie's portrait and assumes they would not have liked each other. Eric joins Quinn and she comments how lovely the picture is. He agrees. Meanwhile, Maya runs into Rick by the stairs and tells him how happy she is for him. Later, Eric and Brooke gush over how handsome Rick is as Pam calls attention to Caroline's entrance. The wedding march begins and she enters with Bill. Brooke hands Caroline a bouquet made from Stephanie's rose garden and Bill walks her down the aisle. Rick tells her she looks beautiful. Carter begins the ceremony and after commenting on their ups and downs leads Rick and Caroline in their vows. Rick remembers the first time he saw her. Rick almost gave up on them but she didn't because she knew how good they were together. Every moment with her is a gift and Rick promises to protect and cherish it forever. There isn't a dry eye in the house as Caroline thanks everyone – the Forresters and Logans are her family now. She adores Rick and knows they will have an exciting marriage. They exchange rings and promise to love each other forever. Carter pronounces them husband and wife and they kiss.
In the Forrester kitchen, Charlie whispers in Pam's ear about living dangerously as she flinches over putting cranberries in her recipe. Hope brings in the Logan sisters as back-up. Pam balks, but Charlie says they're needed. Pam puts them to work.
Everyone gathers near the Forrester table. Wyatt places the diamond around Hope's neck, whispering that it's okay, Eric knows. She gazes at him. Nearby, Rick asks Caroline to marry him today - Carter can officiate. She agrees enthusiastically. Hope looks over where Bill, who is seated beside Katie, unsuccessfully attempts to switch seating places. Eric gives the floor to Hope. She asks everyone to say something nice to the person beside them. Liam tells Ally how impressed he is by her. Ally tells Thorne how important his is to her. Thorne tells Maya he's excited she's back at work. Maya compliments Carter's determination, and Carter tells Charlie he's a rock star for saving the diamond. Charlie compliments Pam's lemon bars and her pretty face. Pam says Donna is the most annoying person she's ever met...but she's her best friend! They hug. Donna thanks Eric for everything he's done for her and kisses him. Eric tells Dayzee she's been a blessing in all their lives, and Stephanie that her spirit is alive and well there today. Dayzee compliments Rick for running the company, and Rick tells Caroline they'll always remember this day. Caroline thanks Brooke for being there for her. Brooke reminds Katie of their mother's Thanksgiving feasts - Katie was always thankful for family. Katie tries to pass on her turn, but Hope insists. Katie thanks Bill for fathering her child and the good years together. Bill returns the sentiment, telling Katie she's a great mom and made him a better man, before turning to Quinn and saying he respects her for raising Wyatt alone and for starting her own business. Quinn compliments Wyatt on how far they've come together. Wyatt talks to Hope about Big Bear and makes her beam by saying she affects people and brings out the best in them. Hope turns to Liam and says he's amazing - a genuinely good person; everyone loves him. "Happy Thanksgiving!" They all toast, hug, and pass the food. Liam later tells Hope that nobody else could have pulled this off. He kisses her.

Sign on San Diego reports according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, patients undergo roughly 100 million surgeries every year in hospitals and outpatient facilities across America.
Before their procedures begin, patients can help set the stage for a successful outcome by following some basic guidelines. While each surgical case is different, the following preparatory tips apply to most operations.
Report all medications. Provide a list of all medications well before the surgery date. Some drugs, such as those that control blood pressure, may need to be continued up to and through the procedure, while others such as blood thinners are often discontinued several days before surgery. Include both prescription and nonprescription medications, including herbal and nutritional supplements.
Disclose recreational drugs. Don't conceal information about illicit drug use. The anesthesiologist needs to know everything that may be in a patient's system and withholding information can be dangerous or even life-threatening. For example, patients who take large doses of painkillers may build up a resistance to narcotics and may not respond to anesthesia as expected.
Discuss anesthesia history. During the pre-surgery meeting, inform the anesthesiologist if there have been previous problems with anesthesia, such as nausea, vomiting, difficulty inserting the breathing tube or keeping the airway open, or other adverse reactions. This enables the anesthesiologist to prepare for such issues and take precautions to help prevent them from happening again.
These preoperative instructions are routine for Dr. Stuart Kincaid's plastic surgery patients. Every patient receives a preoperative visit, which details the instructions for each particular surgery. For surgeries like abdominoplasty, there can be additional postsurgical instructions that may include care of surgical garments and drains. It is imperative that patients follow both preoperative and postsurgical instructions for the best outcome.

Tag: best caribbean islands
Editor's note: We've very excited about the news that American Airlines will start direct flights to Martinique this April. In honor of that, here's an account of our editors' recent trip to Martinique.
I blame Pierce Brosnan. Ever since I watched him seduce Rene Russo by whisking her off on a romantic island getaway in the movie The Thomas Crown Affair, I've longed to visit Martinique, where those steamy scenes were shot. So when the invitation to visit arrived, I jumped at the chance. That first morning, I'm struck by the dichotomy of Martinique: With its undulating terrain, roadside fruit stalls and tracts of sugar cane intersected by winding roads (some so hilly they change the orientation on my iPhone), the tiny isle first appears as Caribbean as any other. But ...
For starters: Should we read into the fact British Airways doesn't even offer service here?
ISLANDS photographer Jon Whittle showcases the secret scenery of the Dom Rep in this photo gallery from his Dominican Republic Wish List trip.
ISLANDS editor Robert Stephens and photographer Jon Whittle find real island baseball in the Dominican Republic for this trip from the ISLANDS Wish List.
ISLANDS photographer Jon Whittle sets sail to the remote Caribbean aboard the luxury Star Clipper ship for this special cruise on the ISLANDS Wish List.
Snorkeling here today off Fronton Beach at the tip of the Samana Peninsula meant a sea spectacle for our eyes only. One colorful fish after another darted in and out of the nooks and crannies carved into the Dr. Seuss-like coral as black-and-white eels looked on from the seafloor. Every turn revealed something new -- purple fish, then blue fish, then black, then giant brain coral, swaying seaweed and flowering plants. An hour or so of this underwater bliss and then I had to return to life on the land -- and what beautiful land it is.

Made this just before Tropical Storm Sandy took out our power. It is very rich, and lasted 5 days before the two of us finished it. Recipe from swirth in KAF community, who said his family adapted it from Anne Byrn's Cake Mix Doctor. I modified it slightly for personal preference. We loved this combination. I plan to try this with a silicone coffee cake Bundt form, checking doneness at 50 minutes; in that case, I will put half of the cake batter in the Bundt form, sprinkle the filling, and top with the remaining batter and when done, I will let cool for 5 minutes before releasing from form and coating with glaze while cake is still hot.

Haunted Ghost Tours & Pub Crawls
Nightly Spirits offers the perfect mix of haunting and history.
We offer a variety of tours in the Washington, D.C. area. Our tours are haunted pub tours that consist of visiting historic and haunted pubs, as well as some of the most historic and haunted places in D.C.. Our tours offer a really unique way to experience the greatness of our Nation's Capitol. We book from one individual all the way up to large groups and private tours.
What to expect on our tours? Our tours begin with everyone meeting at the first pub on our tour, where our guests will have time to check in as well as get a beverage if they would like. Our tours depart from this location as a group and our guides will tell most of the history and ghost stories outside of the bars along the walking route to the next pub. We are in each pub for approximately 20-30 minutes, which is usually adequate time for a beverage of our guests choosing. Ideally when we mix drinks with the stories the concoction should be a tasty evening.

Closure Options:
Both snap and Aplix® closures are available on Thirsties Duo line. While the majority of families prefer Aplix® closures because of the simple, secure fit they provide, snap closures do have a few advantages of their own. They are pretty much indestructible. As well, they are more unyielding than our Aplix® hook-and-loop closures, making them more challenging to unfasten for a toddler who prefers to go naked.
Duo Sizing Options:
In an effort to maximize affordability of cloth diapering Thirsties created our Duo line. This means all Duo products are available in 2 sizes which will cover your baby from birth to potty. Each of the two sizes in the Thirsties Duo line feature three rows of snaps to adjust the rise to your baby's shape; it is like having THREE sizes in one.

Caddo parish investigators are looking into a rash of car burglaries on Roy Road.
The culprit reportedly lifted just about anything they could get their hands on - things like loose change, a gun, and electronics.
The sheriff's office says the burglaries were crimes of opportunity because all the vehicles were unlocked. The residents themselves admit, because their neighborhood is so peaceful they sometimes leave things unlocked. "You shouldn't have to, it's on my property. So why should we have to lock our doors?" asked Cathy Daniel, a victim of the burglaries. The sheriff's office reminds people that you should always lock your car doors, and place your valuables out of sight, or bring them inside.

Rutgers 80, Rider 70
This was a game Rider wanted badly to win.
It's a rivalry game, though one that's only been played 15 times over the past half-century. The players all know each other, the coaches recruit a lot of the same players, and since the Broncs have only beaten the Scarlet Knights once, a win at the RAC tonight would have made the Broncs' steak taste extra good tomorrow.
That makes it a loss that's tough to swallow, especially since the Broncs got shut out in overtime, and since Rutgers, while technically a Big East team, is closer in talent level to Saint Joe's and La Salle than to Syracuse and UConn.
Yet just as the Broncs had no right to feel good about themselves after squeaking past Marist, they will leave here tonight feeling good about the direction of their season.
That's true for several reasons, but as I wrote in the game story I just finished, none are more important than the play of Ryan Thompson.
There were eight NBA scouts here, all watching as Thompson played against a team from the Big Six conferences for the fourth time this year. Rutgers may be a Big East doormat, but the Knights have more size (Hamady Ndiaye as a 7-footer) and talent (Mike Rosario a McDonald's All-American) than all but a few of Rider's opponents.
That makes Thompson's performance -- 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in a game-high 42 minutes -- especially encouraging.
You can tell that Thompson has lost some confidence in a jump shot that served him well last year. But knowing the 3s wouldn't be falling, and taking advantage of Rutgers' man-to-man defense, Thompson attacked the rim relentlessly and had encouraging results.
It was no wonder that when Rider needed a bucket to tie the game and force overtime, the Broncs turned to Thompson, who promptly delivered by scoring on a third-chance opportunity to tie the game at 70 with 12.5 seconds left.
Then it was Thompson, 10 seconds later, grabbing a rebound on Jonathan Mitchell's missed jumper and heaving the ball 70 feet in a desperation attempt to win it in regulation.
Where does that leave Rider after 12 games?
If I had sat down in November and tried to predict the result of every Rider game, I would have probably had them 8-4 in the games they've played so far, with the losses coming to Mississippi State, Virginia, Kentucky and either La Salle or Rutgers.
I would have picked them to beat Sam Houston State and either the Explorers or the Knights. I've never heard a coach predict the result of any game, let alone 12 of them, but I'd bet Rider's internal expectations were similar to mine.
That means from a win-loss standpoint, the Broncs are a half-step short of what they thought they would be, which is a top-tier MAAC team capable of routinely winning games like the one they lost tonight.
From an overall performance standpoint, they went from exceeding expectations early to falling far short of them from the Virginia game through the Marist game.
I don't think the Broncs are thrilled with where they are now, nor should they be. But by far their biggest concern during that late-November lull was the funk Thompson was in.
It's looking more and more like that funk is a thing of the past, and for that reason, Rider took a step forward tonight.

Happy 2nd Blog Birthday
On 11 April 2011, I wrote the first Computing: The Science of Nearly Everything blog post: Hello, World! (a fairly typical starting point for a computer scientist, I'm sure you'll agree).
My second year of blogging has been somewhat different from the first, especially now I appear to have developed a readership of sorts: 150 blog posts with over 140,000 hits, 450 comments (12,000 spam comments!) and a couple of hundred followers. The majority of the traffic to my blog has been from Y Combinator's Hacker News, Google, Twitter and Reddit, with the top search term being "0xB16B00B5" (see this post).
So, the second year's top five blog posts (see last year's) are as follows:
- A set of top Computer Science blogs
- Programming is the start not the end: let's develop computational thinking and problem solving skills
- Feynman Problem-Solving Algorithm
- We've sold Computer Science, now we have to sell what it means to be a Computer Scientist…
- Academia vs. Industry
Thank you to all of my readers and followers — here's to another good year of blogging!

Happy 1st Blog Birthday
On 11 April 2011 at 1:15 pm, I wrote the first Computing: The Science of Nearly Everything blog post: Hello, World! Rather inspiring, I'm sure you'll agree.
As you'd expect from the blog title and its tagline, the majority of my posts have focused on computer science (education and research), science policy and science communication, interspersed with a bit of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Richard Feynman and the odd quote or two. I've been very pleased with the interest and interaction on the blog, averaging between one and two thousand hits a month. Thank you dear readers, long may it continue. FYI, my favourite search term to the blog was "recreational scolding"…
So, the first year's top five blog posts (excluding the Home page and About) are as follows:
- Feynman, Bethe and the beauty of mathematics
- Will 2012 be the Year of Computer Science?
- Expert Panel report on the National Curriculum review
- Sense About Science: Report Dodgy Science
- "These aren't the drives you're looking for…"
Now I'm off to write a "proper" blog post.

Edgartown plant foul-ups trip waste hauler, officials
File photo by Ralph Stewart
Police, Edgartown District Court, and Edgartown selectmen moved on three fronts this week in response to an 11-month police investigation into financial irregularities, conflicts of interest, and "gross mismanagement" of the town's wastewater treatment facility.
On December 21, selectmen formally referred the investigation to the Massachusetts Ethics Commission, following a unanimous vote at their Monday meeting, December 19.
Selectmen also appointed an independent counsel to advise them on how to proceed with any possible sanctions against town officials or employees.
Edgartown District Court issued a criminal complaint against a local septage hauler, charging him with a scheme to falsely procure government services.
Throughout the criminal complaint and the police report, the court and police made it clear that the extent of fraud probably went beyond one septage hauler. They repeatedly wrote it would be fruitless to prosecute other local haulers who admitted to taking advantage of the lax system at the wastewater plant, because there are no sufficient records to support a prosecution.
The police investigation raises questions about conflicts of interest for elected officials, including an unnamed selectman and town employees.
Wastewater plant manager Joe Alosso told police that he permitted a selectman he refused to name, a wastewater commissioner, and a former commissioner, as well as current and former employees, to dump septage at no cost, bypassing the normal metering system, according the Edgartown police report.
Selectmen described the criminal complaint and allegations of conflict as shocking. Though town officials were aware of billing issues and lax control revealed by in an independent audit, they first heard of the criminal complaint and the conflict of interest allegations at their regular Monday meeting. The court held a probable cause hearing earlier that day and issued a criminal complaint about 10 minutes before the meeting began.
Town counsel Ron Rappaport cautioned that the complaint and police report are only allegations of wrongdoing, but he described those allegations as serious.
"There are allegations that various people received free pump out services, which gives rise to the conflict of interest allegation," Mr. Rappaport said. "I think the public would be well served by having someone independent come in and take a look."
The conclusion of the police investigation cast a shadow on Edgartown government, uncomfortable for town officials who take pride in the efficient and orderly management of town affairs. Selectmen took immediate action.
"I think time is of the essence," selectman Margaret Serpa said. "I think we 'd like to see this resolved. It's not something I would like to see hanging over the head of the town."
"You try to run your municipality," selectman Michael Donaroma said in a phone conversation Wednesday. "You're not there to make money. You try to be reasonable, but there's a fine line between the honor system and giving away the taxpayers' money."
Criminal complaint
On December 19, the Edgartown District Court, acting on a request from Edgartown and State Police, issued a criminal complaint against Jay Araujo, owner of Jay's Septic, alleging he dumped septage at the plant without accurately recording the amounts and in some cases not reporting any amount at all.
He is charged under a state law that makes it a felony to procure services from local government departments by making false statements, inviting reliance on false writing or recording, and using a trick or scheme that is misleading.
A conviction on that charge is punishable by fine of not more than $10,000 or by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than five years, or both, according to the law.
In an extensive finding of facts, clerk-magistrate Liza H. Williamson found probable cause for the charge of falsely procuring town services. The court calculated the loss to the town of Edgartown for those services at $26,611.
Ms. Williamson, in her findings of fact, wrote that "The Defendant (Mr. Araujo) admitted that 'sometimes we do and honestly sometimes we don't' when asked if he wrote down the amounts of septic material he disposed of in the 'sludge holding tank' on the hill of the facility."
The sludge holding tank is a dumping station for grease and other material outside of the regular metered dumping station. Access to the sludge holding tank is not restricted.
"The defendant stated that there were times when he wrote down the wrong numbers at the meter," wrote Ms. Williamson in her finding. "Specifically, the defendant stated 'I have done it. I'm guilty of that.'"
During questioning by State Police, Mr. Alosso acknowledged he was aware Mr. Araujo was dumping septage without paying the per gallon fee.
"Alosso explained that Jason Araujo does do a number of pumpouts for the town and he has permitted him to dump for free," police wrote in their report. Police pointed out "under those circumstances Jason Araujo could have two or three other pumpouts already on board and thus discharge paying customers for free and bill out for those instances. Alosso agreed that would be possible."
Originally, police sought a charge of larceny against Mr. Araujo, but they withdrew that request at the beginning of the probable cause hearing held December 19.
Citing existing case law, Ms. Williamson said using a town facility without sufficient payment is not considered property, an element of larceny necessary for the court to issue a criminal complaint.
Also in her findings of fact, Ms. Williamson cited the independent audit of the wastewater department.
"The audit revealed, at a minimum, gross mismanagement of the wastewater department that allowed septic hauler/disposal businesses to dispose of septic material at the facility and account for the amount of said disposal by means of an 'honor system' whereby the septic hauler would record the amount of each deposit of septic material manually in a recording log, with no check by wastewater department employees on the amount of each deposit. Among other things, the amounts on 'the meter' were never reconciled with the amount written in the log.
"I concur with State Police detectives assigned to the office of the district attorney for the Cape & Islands district that due to the gross mismanagement of the facility, that any further attempt to criminally prosecute anyone who did not admit to defrauding the facility would be fruitless, due to the fact that facility management did not maintain sufficient records to make a prosecution viable."
In their police report, State Police recommended that the investigation be closed and that no other haulers be prosecuted.
"Due to the fact that there was no employee supervision, no accurate daily log as to who entered into the facility with dates/times, no video surveillance system, unlimited access to an unmetered grease pit and other factors," police wrote, "it is difficult to reconstruct many of the specific dates/times in which individual specific haulers defrauded the town."
Conflict issues
Police questioned Mr. Alosso extensively about the practice of allowing certain haulers to dump septage without paying.
"Alosso said it was a personal decision, there was no policy in place, and it has never been discussed with the wastewater commission," wrote police in their report. "He believed that they (the waste water commissioners) were aware of the practice."
"We continued to discuss who else has had their septage discharged for free," wrote police. "We informed him that former employee Matt Rodenbaugh told us that he had discharged for free on three occasions, one time for the residence he was living at and twice for houses he was caretaking. Alosso said that he recalled the one time for his own residence, but was not aware of caretaking jobs.
"Alosso stated that he does not charge waste water commissioners as they put in many hours of work for no pay. He acknowledged that wastewater commissioner Jim Carter and former wastewater commissioner Floyd Norton had not been charged. He also acknowledged that a selectman had not been charged as well. Alosso would not provide that name while being recorded."
Mr. Alosso also conceded he had used the facility without paying.
"I informed Alosso that Jason Araujo explained that he (Alosso) had paid him $100 to pump his septic and truck it to the facility where he then discharged it into the 'grease pit.' Alosso acknowledged that was true."
Edgartown selectmen Art Smadbeck, Michael Donaroma, and Margaret Serpa all said they had paid for all services they received, when asked directly whether they received free pumpout services. All said they were unaware of anyone receiving free services.
"It makes a political mess," Mr. Smadbeck said.
"This is really all about not watching the cash register," Mr. Donaroma said. "The haulers were dumping off their septage and not paying for it. The system was metered so poorly. I've got to go back and make sure I've been billed and paid."
Wastewater commission chairman Tim Connelly was out of town this week. When reached by phone, he declined comment on the investigation, but did talk about the allegation of free service.
"No, I'm not aware of it," Mr. Connelly said. "There never was such a policy as far as I know. I paid to get mine pumped."
Commissioner Jim Carter would not talk specifically about the police report, in which Mr. Alosso said he did not charge commissioners, including Mr. Carter, to use the wastewater facility.
"I really don't want to comment on that," Mr. Carter said. "If it happened it was very limited. I'm not going to comment on who it was. I don't think at this point it makes a difference."
Wastewater commissioner Cliff Karako could not be reached for comment.
Mr. Alosso also declined comment on the criminal complaint and the police report.
"Because of the pending criminal case, I probably shouldn't," Mr. Alosso said. "Our position is that we're going to wait and let the process take its course. Deficiencies were found as part of the audit, and the deficiencies were immediately remedied. That's the best that can be expected. When a situation arises, the situation is corrected."
Independent counsel
Because of the nature of the conflict of interest allegations, Mr. Rappaport and town labor counsel Jack Collins advised selectmen to appoint an independent counsel to review the investigation and advise selectmen of any action they might take against town officials or employees.
At their regular meeting Monday, selectmen voted unanimously to appoint retired judge John Paul Sullivan, now with the Boston law firm Mintz Levin.
Mr. Sullivan served as a Massachusetts Superior Court justice. He has taught law at George Washington University Law Center, Harvard Law School, and four other schools. He has experience in town government as a chairman of the Weston board of selectmen. He is also an Edgartown homeowner.
"I was asked by the board of selectmen to review the facts and give them an independent recommendation," Mr. Sullivan said in a phone interview. "The selectmen don't make the decision about criminal matters, but the internal government decisions would be made after I review the decision and I review the facts."
Typically, a review of this sort would include extensive review of the police reports, audits, and other documents, as well as town policies and local and state laws that apply. It may also include additional interviews.
"My responsibility is to get all the facts I can muster, examine them and make appropriate recommendations to the board of selectmen," Mr. Sullivan said.

A Japanese music and fashion style, translating to "fashion conscience." The bands of the oshare kei genre, unlike those of visual kei, are bouncy and bright, their songs focusing on happy and positive messages like friends and relationships. Their style is colorful and vibrant, sometimes similar to decora, but usually much more toned down. Other than occasional eyeliner and colored contacts, they rarely wear alot of makeup, also unlike the visual kei genre. Oshare kei started to appear around 2001, and was said to have been started by Ryo of Baroque in their PV "Anakuro Film".
Kra, Ancafe, Irokui, Panic*CH, HeaRt, Ichigo69, Vinett, Lolita23q, Shelly Trip Realize, Charlotte, Clavier and bis are examples of oshare kei bands.

He served as Chief Executive Officer from January 1990 until March 2003, and President from 1987 until September 2001.

Before joining Northrop Grumman, Mr. Kresa served with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, where he was responsible for broad, applied research and development programs in the tactical and strategic defense arena. From 1961-68 he was associated with the Lincoln Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), where he worked on ballistic missile defense research and reentry technology.

MCC Honors Eight Students for Service Commitment
Kyla Wojtas, an Alma College junior from Macomb, is one of eight students in the state to receive the Outstanding Community Impact Award, which honors students who have made service an integral part of their college experience.
Wojtas and seven other Alma College students received Michigan Campus Compact awards April 10 at the 14th annual Outstanding Student Service Award Ceremony in East Lansing.
"Kyla is involved in so many things," says Anne Ritz, coordinator of service learning at Alma College. "She created her own non-profit organization, Literacy Beyond Borders. She also is an active participant and a student leader in our alternative breaks program. She is a member of our service team, which connects students to service opportunities on the campus and in the community."
From left: Christie Schichtel, Kyla Wojtas, Samantha LaChance, Renee Willoughby and Sallie Scheide.
Literacy Beyond Borders, which works to strengthen education in Africa, emerged following Wojtas' visit to Ghana, where she volunteered at an orphanage that was home to more than 170 children. A graduate of Henry Ford II High School in Sterling Heights, Wojtas is the daughter of Robert and Sharon Wojtas.
Each year, Michigan Campus Compact recognizes students from member colleges and universities across the state for their commitment to service-learning and civic engagement. This year, 192 students from 34 campuses were honored, including eight students from Alma College.
Saginaw sophomore Benjamin Roberts received the MCC's Commitment to Service Award, which is given to one student per member campus for his or her commitment to community service.
Six Alma students received the Heart and Soul Award in recognition of their time, effort and personal commitment through service. Recipients were St. Johns junior Brandt Ayoub, Coopersville junior Chelsea Clark, Mount Pleasant sophomore Samantha LaChance, Alma junior Mallory Quackenbush, Lowell sophomore Heather Walendzik and South Lyon junior Renee Willoughby.
In addition, 11 Alma students have been designated Michigan Service Scholars. The MSS Program provides $1,000 AmeriCorps education awards to students who complete 300 hours of community service during one calendar year. Recipients are Adrian junior Ashley Arquette, Indianapolis junior Simone Boos, Lake Linden junior Amanda Cruickshank, Midland junior Marcy Gilstad, Hale senior Andrea Herzog, Holland junior Emma Kornelis, Marshall junior Courtney Martin, Clarkston junior Kelsey Merz, Ithaca junior Latisha Misenhelder, Three Rivers junior Emily Monahan, and Grand Ledge sophomore Lauren Stevenson.
Michigan Campus Compact promotes the education and commitment of Michigan college and university students to be civically engaged citizens, through creating and expanding academic, co-curricular and campus-wide opportunities for community service, service-learning and civic engagement.

Everton's evergreen defender Sylvain Distin is only one League game away from achieving an impressive personal landmark.
Distin, 35, missed out on becoming the first foreign outfield player to make 400 Premier League appearances last weekend when illness ruled him out of Everton's clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford.The centre-back will now have to wait to pass the landmark as the Toffees resume their FA Cup campaign with a trip to Oldham.Distin has made 28 appearances while on loan from Paris St Germain at Newcastle, 178 appearances for Manchester City, 77 for Portsmouth and 116 so far for Everton.He told the Liverpool Daily Post: "I'm not there yet so I'm not pleased. But if it happens then it's obviously something pretty amazing."I don't count games to be fair so you could say to me 200, 300, 500 and I would just have said 'yes'. But overall it's not just the quantity of games, it's the quality as well."I just take games one after each other and enjoy my time, but they are the kind of records that you can only be pleased about."I've been here (in the UK) for a long time and I enjoy it here. Do I feel English? No. Do I feel comfortable? Yes."When you think about it, it's something you have to be proud of because playing in the Premier League is not easy and staying there is even harder."
