Hour 3 - News, sports, a special guest, and business news from The Wichita Business Journal all to close out a Tuesday edition of Steve and Ted in the Morning.

In this episode of The Olympia Standard, we dive into the city's now-dormant effort to revise its Memorandum of Understanding with neighborhood associations and explore how representative those groups really are. We bring academic and personal insights into why public participation in local government remains so limited, from structural complexity and lack of access to the outsized influence of well-resourced voices. We also consider what it takes to make local democracy more inclusive, transparent, and effective.

Across America, in sprawling university teaching facilities and in picturesque rural hospitals, administrators are dealing with a powerful tool called statistical extrapolation.When auditors say that they're using statistical “sampling” to review your Medicare claims, what they are often doing is using extrapolation – which could take what might appear to be minor discrepancies in your billing and turn them into major financial obligations.To learn more about extrapolation and what it means for you and your team, the producers of RACmonitor have invited senior healthcare analyst Frank Cohen to be the special guest during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays.The venerable weekly Internet broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, senior government affairs liaison for Zelis, will report on the latest news concerning healthcare legislation.

[00:04:03] National park development controversy. [00:09:12] Swim with whales operator update. [00:11:50] Conservation efforts for marine mammals. [00:15:02] Original conservation stories. [00:18:20] A social media app for ocean lovers. Updates on Florida National Park Development The podcast episode provided updates on the controversial Florida National Park development plan. Initially, the Florida government proposed developing resorts, golf courses, pickleball courses, and disc golf courses on National Park land, sparking outrage among environmentalists and conservationists. However, a GIS analyst working for the state government leaked information about the plan, revealing that the government was trying to keep the details hidden from the public. This led to public awareness and opposition to the development plan. The delay in the decision-making process was seen as a tactic to avoid public scrutiny, but the efforts of individuals like the GIS analyst and environmental activists have helped in further delaying the project. The episode highlighted the importance of protecting natural areas like state parks in Florida and the need for public involvement in decision-making processes that impact the environment. Swim with Whales Story Update The podcast also discussed an incident where a swim with whales operator in Queensland, Australia, was lifted out of the water by a humpback whale. This dangerous interaction highlighted the risks associated with such activities and the need for stricter regulations to protect both humans and marine mammals. The potential consequences of such incidents, including harm to the operator or the whale, were emphasized. The episode mentioned ongoing efforts to address safety concerns and enforce better protections for both tourists and humpback whales during these interactions. The importance of raising awareness about responsible wildlife tourism practices and the potential impacts on marine ecosystems was underscored. The host expressed a commitment to further investigating the story and exploring ways to promote safer and more sustainable wildlife tourism practices. Focusing on Original Conservation Stories In the podcast episode, the host, Andrew Lewin, discussed his goals for the next four months. One of the key objectives he highlighted was the intention to focus on bringing more original conservation stories to the forefront. Andrew expressed his desire to delve deeper into stories that are not typically covered in mainstream news or existing conservation platforms. By amplifying these lesser-known narratives, he aims to shed light on important conservation challenges and issues that may not receive adequate attention. Andrew emphasized the importance of building a community around these original stories. He mentioned his plans to collaborate with organizations, activists, scientists, and conservationists to ensure that these narratives reach a wider audience. By engaging with these stakeholders, Andrew hopes to spark conversations, raise awareness, and potentially drive action towards addressing pressing conservation issues. Launching a Community App Another significant goal outlined by Andrew in the episode was the development and launch of a community app. This app is envisioned as a platform where individuals passionate about ocean conservation can come together, share information, and engage with like-minded individuals. Andrew highlighted the app's potential to create a more intimate and connected community, free from the constraints of social media algorithms. The community app is expected to serve as a hub for ocean lovers, supporters of the podcast, and individuals interested in protecting the ocean. It will offer a range of features, including access to original content, opportunities for group coaching on careers, and interactions with scientists through Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions. Additionally, the app will provide avenues for individuals to support the podcast and participate in community-driven initiatives aimed at advancing ocean conservation efforts. By launching this community app, Andrew aims to foster a sense of belonging among individuals passionate about ocean conservation, facilitate knowledge sharing, and empower community members to take collective action towards protecting the ocean. The community app mentioned in the podcast episode will serve as a platform to unite ocean lovers and provide them with valuable resources. One of the key features of the app is the opportunity for users to engage with scientists through Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions. This direct interaction with scientists will allow users to ask questions, gain insights, and deepen their understanding of ocean-related topics. Additionally, the app will offer group coaching sessions for individuals interested in pursuing careers in conservation. This feature is particularly beneficial for those looking to enter the field of conservation but may not know where to start or how to navigate the industry. The group coaching sessions will provide guidance, advice, and support to help individuals kickstart their careers in conservation. Overall, the community app aims to create a space where ocean enthusiasts can come together, learn from experts, and receive support in their conservation journey. By offering access to scientists for AMAs and providing group coaching for conservation careers, the app will empower users to make a positive impact on ocean conservation efforts.

I was awake at 2:30a so it was a long day and nothing festive really but it was a good day! We hosted Millie and Hattie for their birthday sleepovers. I took them to the Altitude trampoline park and Panera on Friday night. Saturday morning: Millie and I hiked while Hattie and Dan did a dump run and rode around in the tractor. We all did some crafts together before heading to the movies to see Migration. I tried a new OPI nail color and loved it. It's called "Pink in Bio" I've completed teaching 2 of 4 classes on the OMG Heel at my LYS and we've already got more than half of the class successfully turning heels. I enjoyed a movie night at my Mom's to watch Wonka. Dan and I did a 1000 piece Ford puzzle. I went skiing at Crotched Mountain. Tune in to hear a funny story about Megg's fall. We all had a fabulous time at my cousin Jenny's baby shower. She loved her crochet blanket. I had a lovely visit with my middle-school best friend Maribeth who is very sick. She was inpatient at the hospital where I work and I was able to go up and see her and catch up. I love the daily puzzles from the New York Times- especially Spelling Bee. On the 21st I got every possible word earning me Queen Bee status! My friend Trish gave me a souvenir from a trip she took to New Orleans; she went to a local yarn shop and bought yarn from Louisiana- which I'll definitely knit into socks for her. Cat Tails yarn dyed exclusively for the Quarter Stitch Colorway Christmas Bonfires   Quote of the Week It is hard, so terribly hard, to please yourself. Far from being the easy thing that it sounds like, it is almost the hardest thing in the world, because we are not always comfortable with that true self that lies deep within us. –Christopher Alexander   ------   Thank you for tuning in!   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!
