He was the stoic and unsmiling presence behind Commissioner Raymond Kelly at public events, while behind the scenes, he was the leader of rank and file officers who coordinated the department’s response to some of the city’s most dramatic and headline grabbing events. But in October 2011, the four-star chief’s public profile was raised considerably: during the infancy of the Occupy Wall Street movement, Esposito – with 43 years in the department – finally …http://www.twitpic.com/cewi52

According to Achterberg, it was the first time that scientists had been able to research the immediate effects of ash falling into the ocean.
