Police officers Joseph McNeil and Orlando Soto combined to make almost $600,000 in 2011.
Their gross income soared last year because it included two year's compensation for lost wages incurred during a suspension without pay that started June 2009, said Ronald Ing, director of human resources.
"They had settlements as a result of a town action against them," Ing said. "State couldn't find anything and withdrew charges."
The charges of wrongdoing against McNeil and Soto that related to ex-Mayor James R. Miron's brother were dropped in early 2011.
Ing provided the numbers for town employees. He said the list includes only active employees. About 75 percent of the top 100 town employees are represented by the Stratford and departments, Ing said.
The list below includes both town and school employees, the latter of which hold 21 spots in the top 50 wage earners in 2011.
Police and fire claim the first seven positions, which is reflective of contractual obligations tied to the jobs, Ing said.
A list of the top 100 highest wage earners on the town side can be viewed as a PDF in the photo gallery, as well as a list of the top 30 school employees.

A PROPOSED crackdown on eligibility for the disability pension and moving people into the workforce is causing people "angst" because "there just isn't the work there", says Orange man Scott Collins.
Mr Collins lives with muscular dystrophy, is on a disability pension and works at Wangarang Industries. While the proposed changes suggested by Social Services Minister Kevin Andrews would be unlikely to impact him because of his higher level disability, he is concerned for his friends and colleagues.
Under the proposed changes thousands of disability pensioners would be examined by independent doctors to see whether they are still entitled to their pensions.
Mr Andrews, who is overhauling the $15 billion-a-year disability support pension - which he considers the most troublesome welfare entitlement - also said changes to the pension could begin as soon as the May budget.
Mr Andrews says the aim of the change is to catch as many people as possible before they become entrenched on the disability pension.
Mr Collins said it was almost impossible to have a fair system because determining a person's level of disability was too subjective.
"There's still a lot of conjecture at the moment and until its made policy it's hard to speculate," he said.
"People with a mental disability would possibly be hit hardest and it depends on the disability."
The minister is also considering giving a fixed higher payment for the most disabled pensioners, with lower payments for people with less restrictive disabilities who might be able to work part time.
Carewest CEO Tim Curran said Australia had the poorest record when it came to people with a disability in mainstream employment and the rhetoric coming from the federal government was misleading.
"They're saying there is a massive cost blowout from people on the DSP (disability support pension) and there is absolutely no evidence of that," he said.
He said people on the DSP lost payments for every dollar they earned over a threshold if they took on employment.
He said the government needed to reassess that policy with tax reform, make workplaces more accessible, address social attitudes towards disability and look at providing more incentives for employers to take on people with a disability.
Under Mr Andrews's mooted change, disability pensioners who were assessed by their family doctors - before Labor tightened the system in 2011 - would be re-examined by medical experts at the Department of Human Services.

The following is a statement from Rep. Jackie Walorski on the President's gun control proposals:
a supporter of the Second Amendment, it is critical that lawmakers
continue to protect the right to bear arms for responsible Americans,
and I do not support
the overwhelming executive actions in the President's plan that could
violate the gun ownership rights of law abiding citizens.

issues—particularly better access to mental health care—instead of
forcing gun restrictions.

rights of responsible Americans, while keeping guns out of the hands of
the mentally ill and those who intend to cause harm to others.

Southwest reported that total profit rose to $112 million dollars, up from $91 million during the second quarter of 2009. Total revenue jumped 21 percent to $3.19 billion.
While Southwest doesn't have any plans to increase the size of its fleet, it is considering expanding its business travel and possibly getting into international travel. Southwest CEO David Kelly discussed both potential moves in a conference call with investors.
"We'll have a bigger push and a stronger message for business travel over the next 12 months," he said. The company has announced it hopes to upgrade its frequent flyer program and have wireless internet installed on all flights by 2013 in an effort to appeal to business travelers.
Kelly also discussed the possibility of expanding the company's domestic routes into international travel, but cautioned that the airline has yet to make up its mind in this regard.

Farmers hope for emergency help after snow
Welsh farmers badly affected by the recent snow are hoping to find out today if they will be given emergency help.
The Farmers' Union of Wales has called for EU rules which make burying animals illegal to be suspended, after many have died.
It has also asked for a "winter feed hardship fund".
The Welsh Government has said it is "looking urgently" at how it can "alleviate the burden on farmers", and will say more about what it plans to do early this week.

The final day of testimony in the Deion Sanders divorce drama included bombshells and surprises. But it has all come to an end… for now.
Deion left the Collin County Courthouse Monday night with the protective order he had been hoping for.
Judge Jay Wheless gave the Hall of Famer exclusive use of the family's sprawling Prosper estate. He also must continue to support his three kids, who are ordered to receive counseling, and neither parent can leave with the children for longer than two weeks.
Deion made his exit with the large African art statue he brought as evidence for the day. Pilar and her friend Dianna Boswell had testified he hit her with it on April 23 when she went to his room looking for her youngest son, who she hadn't seen in four days.
Boswell said she "heard Pilar screaming. It was a gut-wrenching scream." Then she said she ran down the hall and "I saw him standing over her with a statue in his hand and Pilar with her hands over her head. I saw him hit her with a statue."
Late in the afternoon Pilar took the stand and testified Deion was swinging at her and hitting her, saying "he was enraged. He grabs my throat, picks me up off the ground and shoves me into the glass doors behind me."
"You can scream all you want. Nobody can hear you back here," Pilar said Deion told her.
Deion denied it all, saying he simply pinned her arms to her side and carried her out of his bedroom.
The court heard a secret audio recording Pilar made of the entire incident.
After Deion told her to leave, Pilar said, "Shut up, b***h."
There was screaming, yelling and a loud crash.
"Get out of my room! Get out of my room!" Deion said.
Pilar continued cursing and called Deion a punk and a little girl.
"That's what your daddy is," Pilar told her son.
Throughout the recording the children could be heard crying and pleading with their mother to stop.
"I think the court heard the testimony from the audio and will make whatever appropriate decisions it thinks it needs to make," Deion's attorney Jody Johnson had said before the ruling.
In the end the judge found no evidence of family violence, only injury that resulted in an accident when Deion defended himself from Pilar's confrontation.

You should avoid running at a steep incline for more than 5 or so minutes. You'll get a much better, safer workout if you alternate between running a few minutes with an incline and running a few minutes without an incline.
Also, you should also avoid going above a 7% incline because it places too much strain on your back, hips and ankles.

Earth sciences
Language(s): English . Fre
The deep circulation of the oceans controls the weather and climate of the earth by moving heat, generating storms and controlling rainfall and droughts. Until very recently the deep ocean remained invisible to scientists, but now the science of our seas is undergoing a revolution, thanks to a vast array of floating oceanic robots known as Argo. The IOC and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) was instrumental in the development of this transformative observing system.
This film, based on a BBC episode of Earth Reporters, follows Dr Susan Wijffels, one of the world's foremost oceanographers, and chair of IOC science advisory groups, as she and her colleagues work with the IOC to maintain this essential ocean observing system.

Source: Ehtika Politika | In his recent First Things article, "Is, Ought, and Nature's Laws," David Bentley Hart puts forth a formidable and subtle critique of the use, "by certain self-described Thomists," of the natural law tradition in public discourse. While Hart does not deny "a harmony between cosmic and moral order," he takes issue when "the natural law theorist insists that the moral meaning of nature should be perfectly evident to any properly reasoning mind, regardless of religious belief or cultural formation." He thus contends that (1) such natural lawyers, despite best intentions, ultimately fall prey to David Hume's critique that one cannot derive an "ought" from an "is"; that (2) natural law reasoning depends upon a person's prior acceptance of certain metaphysical commitments (e.g. a teleological world and a harmony between the cosmic and moral orders); that (3) universal … [Read more...]
Dylan Pahman – Natural Law, Public Policy, and the Uncanny Voice of Conscience: An Orthodox Response to David Bentley Hart
Orthodox Natural Law Theory
As some have argued here, the Church's witness requires her to clearly articulate her anthropological vision. The challenges that face both the Church and the larger society flow from competing visions of what it means to be human. The articulation of an Orthodox understanding of the human person is central to our moral witness in the public square, to our evangelical witness in the human heart and (most importantly) the effective preaching of the Gospel from the pulpit. If we cannot present a clear and compelling vision of human life, then on matters of personal and public morality, sexuality, politics and public policy, the Church cedes the public square and the human heart to increasingly pagan and disjointed culture. Though her immediate concern is the environmental movement, Elizabeth Theokritoff's Living in God's Creation: Orthodox Perspectives on Ecology, offers us an Orthodox approach to natural law grounded in Scripture and the Church Fathers and embodied in Christian … [Read more...]

Here are the Dallas Cowboys top three needs going into the draft, subject to any free-agent signings it may make before then.
Underwood pleaded not guilty to a count of disorderly conduct Friday after being charged in an incident with his wife the night the team got their Super Bowl rings last month.||||||| Authorities allege the 25-year-old Underwood ripped a necklace off his wife, Brandie, and pushed her to the ground at their home following the June 16 ring ceremony. Brandie Underwood has said the incident has been blown out of proportion and that's she's never been afraid of her husband even though she filed for divorce in May. She said earlier this month they are still living together and receiving counseling. Underwood is scheduled to face trial on Sept. 26.
Underwood has been released on a $1,000 signature bond after his arrest in a domestic incident. WLUK-TV reports Underwood appeared in court Wednesday to face misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges after police were called to his house, just hours after the team got its Super Bowl rings June 16. The complaint says he ripped a necklace off his wife's neck.||||||| The Packers are aware of the charge, but declined further comment. Earlier this year, Underwood pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of soliciting a prostitute in a June 2010 incident at a resort cabin in Lake Delton, Wis., after two women alleged he sexually assaulted them. Underwood paid a $379 fine. A call placed Wednesday to his lawyer in that case was not immediately returned.

November ABI reflects 'strongest business conditions since the end of 2007'
December 21, 2012
Billings at architecture firms across the country continue to increase, with the Architecture Billings Index posting gains for the fourth straight month this fall. The November ABI score was 53.2, up from the mark of 52.8 in October, according to a release from the American Institute of Architects.
"These are the strongest business conditions we have seen since the end of 2007 before the construction market collapse," said AIA Chief Economist, Kermit Baker, in a release. "The real question now is if the federal budget situation gets cleared up, which will likely lead to the green lighting of numerous projects currently on hold. If we do end up going off the 'fiscal cliff,' then we can expect a significant setback for the entire design and construction industry."

Florida netminder is top goaltending asset on market
A Day in the Life of Garth Snow
Please comment and vote early and often!
Well, we've all heard the news: reports are that the Red Wings are close to signing a deal with former Shark Evgeni Nabokov, who had been toiling in the KHL. Everything is still being kept under wraps, but we'll have a post up once we know more. Keep in mind that if a deal is signed with him, he needs to clear waivers before officially becoming a part of the team.
How are the Tampa Bay Lightning prospects doing at their AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, right now?
According to Russian newspaper Sovetsky Sport, Evgeni Nabokov's agent Sergey Isakov confirmed that Nabby signed a 4-year contract to play in the KHL. Nabokov will join SKA St. Petersburg and become a teammmate of such former NHL notables as Alexei Yashin, Sergei Zubov, Alexander Korolyuk, Andrei Zyuzin, Darius Kasparaitis, Oleg Saprykin and Sergey Brylin. The agent is quoted as saying that they've reached the agreement on the money a while ago, but had to sort out family questions. Nabokov and his family will move to Russia in August. Nabokov and the KHL is holding a press conference announcing the signing tomorrow. We'll post an update on Fear the Fin with his reaction and thoughts on making this move. Who knew that when we were watching Game 4 of the Western Conference finals between the Sharks and the Blackhawks, we were watching Nabby's last NHL game. До Встречи, Женя! Спасибо за годы воспоминаний.

I had a lot of questions yesterday about the use of the cake pattern. (No, we have not invented it; we started Cake Solutions 12 years ago, long before Scala.) Let me explain the differences between the cake pattern, traditional DI and inheritance.
Why Christmas? Well, imagine you're modelling toy that needs batteries. It does not make sense to have the toy as a subtype of batteries. In code, it would be this horror:
trait Batteries class AABatteries extends Batteries // the Toy is actually a pack of AA batteries (!) class Toy extends AABatteries val toy = new Toy
Unless your toy is actually a pack of AA batteries, this code does not model reality well.
Turning to traditional DI, that is, dependency injection of instances, you would modify the toy to accept some instance of
Batteries; and you would be responsible for creating this
Batteries instance.
trait Batteries class AABatteries extends Batteries // the Toy needs an instance of Batteries class Toy(batteries: Batteries) val batteries = new AABatteries val toy = new Toy(batteries)
This is better. We correctly separate the
Toy and
Batteries instances and we clearly say that
Toy depends on some externally provided batteries. In this model, though, you might also be able to share the
Batteries instance between multiple toys. This may or may not be what you actually want, so think carefully!
If all that you need is the functionality provided by the
Batteries and you don't actually care about the instances, consider using the cake pattern. In the cake pattern, the injection takes the form of when you make an instance of
Toy, you must supply the implementation of
Batteries. In code, this is simply:
trait Batteries class AABatteries extends Batteries // When constructing instance of the toy, supply the batteries class Toy { this: Batteries => } val toy = new (Toy with AABatteries)
So, that's all the cake pattern does. It expresses type dependencies that must be satisfied when making instances of the dependant types. The compiler checks that you've satisfied the dependencies correctly. It is not injection of instances, it is injection of functionality. Let me rephrase that: in the DI of instances, you make an instance of the dependency and then supply the instance when constructing the dependant instance; in the DI of functionality, when you make an instance of the dependant type, you get the compiler to inject the functionality of the dependant type.

A juvenile remained in the car.Police were looking for the two men who ran hours after the incident, and eventually called the K-9 unit to assist in the search."They were armed, or potentially armed," said Captain Ed Shannon of the Corpus Christi Police Department. "We were safe, trying to keep our officers safe, going house to house."If you have any information about the incident, or know the whereabouts of the two suspects at large, please call Crime Stoppers at 361-888-8477.

Finding a way to defray the cost of college is the goal of many parents. And if your student is also an athlete, finding a school where they can play their chosen sport is often a top priority.
The college recruiting process can be a full time job and that's why one Valrico man, Jim Delaney, is making a career out of helping parents find the right fit. "It doesn't happen overnight and it takes a lot of work," says Delaney.
Delaney is passionate about helping high school athletes realize their dreams of playing college level sports. That's why he traded in his old day job in sales and now works for Recruit Look as a scout.
Delaney's first recruiting class, the class of 2013, just graduated. He helped place nine Bay area athletes: three football, three basketball and three baseball players. That includes pitcher Jake Mielock from Countryside high school in Clearwater.
"I actually knew his travel ball coach, went to one of his tournaments and started marking things down. He's got great size. He can pitch. He throws hard. I knew right off the bat, I want to work with this kid," said Delaney.
With Delaney's help, Mielock landed on a roster not far from home playing for the number one division two baseball program in the country at the University of Tampa.
Delaney focuses not on big time Division one athletes, but high school students who might not be getting the attention of college coaches but are good enough to play at the Division two or Division three level. Delaney says, "They have to be realistic. They have to know how good they are or really how good they aren't."
And grades play a huge role. "You can't be a student athlete if you're not a student first. There's a reason they are called student athletes and not athletes. The quote, unquote, 'full ride' is not as widespread as many people think it is. A lot of that full ride money is primarily academic money."

Tuesday night, Oakland's Brett Anderson made his first major-league start in more than 14 months -- thanks, torn elbow ligament! -- and he pitched wonderfully: seven innings, allowing just four hits and one run while striking out six Twins. The A's already had excellent starting pitching, with the second-best ERA in the American League. The addition of Anderson, assuming his first game back wasn't a mirage, almost seems unfair.
And then you've got the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in Orange County. Where the A's have five or six good starting pitchers -- yes, even with this surprising news -- the Angels have ... one, maybe?
The Angels, of course, were supposed to challenge the Texas Rangers for primacy in the American League West. The A's were supposed to finish in third place, well out of contention for a postseason berth.
Instead the A's are right in the middle of the Wild Card race -- they're just a half game behind the Wild Card-leading Rays and Orioles -- while the Angels are 3½ games behind the A's.
And it's about the pitching, stupid.
The Angels' rotation was supposed to be a strength this season, with free agent C.J. Wilson joining Jered Weaver and Dan Haren in the rotation. And then when you add Zack Greinke before the trading deadline ... Good night, nurse!
It just hasn't worked out so well.
Let's begin with the Angels' No. 4 starter, Ervin Santana. He was pretty good in 2010 and '11; almost identically good, in fact. But he's been pretty terrible in 2012. More home runs, more walks, fewer strikeouts. Santana isn't throwing quite as hard this season, his fastball's been getting hammered, and he's got a 5.46 ERA. If he wasn't making $11.2 million this season, he might have already lost his job.
Last winter, C.J. Wilson signed a five-year, $77.5-million contract. Wilson got off to a good start this season, even made the All-Star team. Since June, though, he's 0-5 with a 5.70 ERA in 10 starts. The good news is that his strikeout rate has remained high. The bad news is that his walk rate has been high, too. This is probably just a glitch.
Dan Haren's issue is obvious: home runs. In Haren's last 10 starts, he's given up 15 home runs and his ERA has jumped from 3.52 to 4.90.
And then there's Zack Greinke, for whom the Angels gave the Brewers a bundle of prospects. In Greinke's first post-trade outing, he pitched seven strong innings against the Rays. In his four starts since, he's given up 20 runs; it's the first time in his career that Greinke's allowed at least four runs in four straight starts. He, too, has given up too many home runs, but he's also issued more walks than usual.
So that's four-fifths of the Angels' rotation that's been struggling badly, for various periods. That leaves only Jered Weaver, who's been outstanding all season long. But one-fifth of a rotation isn't enough.
Between Greinke and Wilson and Haren, there's no shortage of pitching talent. And at least two of those three will have to turn things around in the season's last six weeks, or else the brilliance of Weaver and Mike Trout and a few others will go for naught. Because even if the A's falter in the absence of Bartolo Colon, the Angels still have to catch and pass two other teams.

Mark Lenard played terrificly (as usual) and not passionate. Given that the writers metioned BoT and not "The Enterprise Incident" (Romulan women are passionate??? shall I say canon foul
) as reference episodes and given that Orci likes TNG, I am optimistic that the Romulans are done as they should be IMO, emotion-suppressing like their distant Vulcan relatives, at least before whatever happens that makes Nero et al lose their temper.
There could be a 'best of both worlds' IMO, but might be that they try to satisfy the old-schoolers at least in respect of the Romulans.
Excuse the ramble, but like for some it is the designs, for me the Romulans are my holy Trek cow. I will though entirely ignore and forget my discomfort about emotional Romulans in the theatre if Bana delivers a blow-you-away performance (which I don't doubt having seen him in Troy, Munich and Hulk).
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

Sunday, Feb. 10th, 5pm (first post):
I've decided it's time to start sharing some artists that inspire me. There's no band I'd rather start with than Rainy Day Cacophony. Fronted by the incredibly original and endlessly creative Tim Sutton, this band showcases a unique sound that's hard to find and put a name on. From blending acoustic strings with woodwinds and brass, to getting downright punk rock, this band takes the antifolk genre and their own creativity to a new level with every release.
I'm proud to know this band, and I can honestly say they have helped me (on more than one occasion) through discouraging times to keep moving forward with my own music. There were times their album didn't leave my stereo for weeks on end.
Cheers to you, Rainy Day Cacophony. Please, never stop doing what you do. I look forward to sharing the stage with you in the future.
To everyone else: follow the link, like the page, listen to the music. You won't regret it.
-Vin Fischer

That's why our bills are so high, and why British Gas et al can offer these "special" deals to insulate your home.
Stop them, and reduce your bills! Also you should seriously look at the Witney based not for profit energy firm Ebico - who offer one tariff for gas/elec and NO standing charge; you can save a lot by switching. Google them and support a local firm!

Tuesday a reported 6-.0 aftershock rattled residents including central Illinois native Jenny Wojcik.
She is a freelance english teacher and translator living in tokyo with her fiance.
Four days after Japan's strongest recorded earthquake an aftershock of 6.4 shook tokyo late Tuesday night.
It was centered 55 miles southwest of the city.
Jenny Wojcik says it's no way to get a good night's sleep, "We have our little seismic activity in the house, which is just a hanger. If it's swinging, then it's not all in my head. But sometimes it does feel like I'm just on a boat "
The threat of a nuclear meltdown is 150 miles away from Tokyo.
Wojcik says they've been told radiation levels in the city are about 1/10 of a chest x-ray.
Life in Tokyo is full of inconveniences right now, but Wojick says she's struck by the calm.
Almost everybody is trying to conserve energy and food.
She says those who don't are encouraged to change their ways, "There are some panic buyers but I think there are some slight pressures from people who give you the eye if you're buying too much. Some get the hint, usually they get the hint. "
Wojcik's message for central Illinois: we're doing OK, but she could really do without any more aftershocks.

Peak Star Party 2014
Announcing Peak Star Party 2014, 17 to 20 October
Peak Star Party 2014 has now been confirmed for the weekend Friday 17 to Monday 20 October.
This is the fourth year of the "all new" Peak Star Party which is one of the largest astronomy events in the country with around 200 resident astronomers, guest speakers, practical workshops and events for the whole family. It runs each October at Shallow Grange, near Chelmorton, Buxton, right in the heart of the Peak District. Whatever your interest in astronomy, we cater for beginners and experts alike and take pride in our reputation for being one of the friendliest star parties in the country!
You will also be able to take part in our bottle rocket competition, try your hand at making telescopes, learn your way around the night sky, observe the fascinating and ever-changing surface of the sun and find out about your local astronomy club. You might even go away with that perfect gift idea in time for Christmas!
We have been working hard to improve Peak Star Party year on year; for 2014 we can offer:
- Indoor and outdoor trade stands with a wide variety of telescopes and equipment being demonstrated and on sale
- Extended catering options with a noodle bar as well as the normal catering van providing hot meals from 10 am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday and from midday Friday with breakfast and light snacks on Monday morning.
- "Honesty Box" refreshments from the Information Point out of hours - hot and cold drinks available through the night for day visitors
- Improved "wet weather" provisions including evening talks, quizzes and films
- More events and practical workshops to be announced...
Programme for PSP2014
We have built on the experience we gained in the last three years to put on what we think is our best ever programme for 2014. We have a mix of practical demonstrations and talks, with telescope and imaging clinics and an under-cover Astroboot.
We have even agreed use of the main barn to 10pm for an astro quiz and films if the weather is not on our side!
RIP Beate Morecroft
It is with much sadness that I tell you of Beate Morecroft's death on Tuesday 22 October.
Visitors to PSP2013 may be aware that Beate suffered a sudden stroke on Saturday evening and was rushed to Macclesfield Hospital. She showed signs of recovery but had a further large haemorrhage on Tuesday and died about 7:15 that evening.
Beate was one of Peak Star Party's true characters. She was great fun to be around and was always up for a laugh no matter what the time or weather. She will be greatly missed at future PSP events.

A classic Sunday
THE Jamaica Classic Car Club (JCCC) members will be out in full force at Hope Gardens, St Andrew on Sunday.
The lyme begins at 3:00 pm.
"As this is our first show for the year, we want to try and get out anywhere between 30 to 50 cars," Shane Angus, new JCCC president, told Auto.
Patrons will pay parking fee of $200. Classic car fanatics can expect the usual show of interesting European machines and American muscle.
"We're trying to work on something special for the audience," Angus added.
The show will continue until the crowd says when.

The following is a paper based off a talk given by Timothy Rodriguez at a leadership conference at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Cortland on November 12, 2009:
The topic of leadership has been approached in different ways. In any society with political, social, and economic institutions structured to function in a hierarchical manner, where the top few hold power over the majority below (i.e., established concentrated power), it can be expected that leadership will be portrayed, conceived, and enacted in a likewise manner. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that in dominant U.S. mainstream culture today, leadership is referred to, and often reserved for, those with some sort of power over others. In simple terms, hierarchy, in a hierarchical society, is a given and isn't openly questioned or discussed. Within a hierarchical society, which establishes concentrated power, one can expect to find opposition to these hierarchical structures and a struggle for a more equitable distribution of this power. Such is the case in this paper and talk about non-hierarchical leadership and its place in history and today in both theory and practice from small groups to whole societies. The intrinsic values and lessons that are rooted in a non-hierarchical structure may prove to be critical in the development of a more participatory and equitable society.
It seems to me that leadership can fall into two categories – hierarchical and non-hierarchical leadership. I will, of course, be focusing on the latter. The difference between the two tends to get foggy amidst rhetoric in a country that preaches "democracy," "equality," and "freedom," albeit the society is built on concentrations of power, that is, hierarchy, which is deeply enough engrained that it reflects on its social institutions, such as education, and, among other things, the ideas and structure of leadership that is commonly understood. Since we are not supposed to question the validity of these labels (democracy, equality, freedom, etc.), it is presupposed that our hierarchical society is the epitome of these values. These presuppositions are deeply engrained, so it may take awhile to untangle them from reality.
One explanation of non-hierarchical leadership was given by David C. Robertson and Bryan J. Lubic as part of a compilation of research focusing on non-hierarchical leadership and the Social Change Model of Leadership Development (SCM), which is the model currently proposed as part of this conference. Robertson and Lubic explain:
Our approach differs from traditional approaches to leadership that view "leaders" only as those who happen to hold formal leadership positions. We define a leader as someone who engages in self-development and is able to affect positive change for the betterment of others, the community, and society. We believe that everyone is a potential leader. Leadership involves collaborative relationships that lead to collective action grounded in the shared values of the people who work together to effect positive change. (1)
Robertson and Lubic's view on leadership is further captured by J. C. Rost. As they explain in the same article, "leadership [is] a relational process rather than the efforts of an individual leader. Leadership, explains Rost (1996), 'is what leaders and collaborators do together.' . . . Greenleaf (1977) explains that

My Into Part 2...this is my first question....here goes. Hope you accept the fact that I just joined, and that I might not have back read all previous questions. The other shocking fact is that I'm not American....I live in a place where I can see all games, but not continuously...ok, let's go.
1. Injuries...nah, unacceptable, I don't even consider it. The pitching, shortstop, the catching position...nah, we had all of them covered...any club has to deal with that.
2. The manager...yes, you might want to discuss that. See my following points...he takes some blame, but I have faith, he's a decent manager. After 20 years apprenticeship, he's got the pedigree. See my following points. Roenicke gets some blame, not all.
3. Loss of Prince Fielder...at the plate, in the field...yes, we miss him. But it's not overwhelming....Aramis has come around, he's a good clean up hitter, arguably a better clutch hitter than Prince. But Aramis adds another dimension at 3b....he's good. But here we miss the intangibles...Prince was our leader...our de facto captain..as he matured, he was a tremendous motivator. He had a positive influence on other players. Now missing Prince or not...we should be over it now. I cite it as a factor in our early season play. Then, Aramis didn't get a great start...and we started the season on a stiff road trip. All factors...all combined...and all currently non issues.
4. The Bullpen...that's too obvious, why should I elaborate? See...No.2..the manager, and keep reading...he is partially to blame. I will add only...Axford has a 98 mph fastball. He has a devastating curve...but at times he has fooled around with the breaking ball too much. Synopsis...he's very good...he must stay.
So where did we go wrong? Here's what I have. I discount all above the above, which I have written, and cut to the chase right now.
We went wrong on the 3rd of July, facing the Marlins, 2nd game in the 4 game series. We took the first game, and the 2nd game, we are in total control, leading 9-2 after 6 innings.
Estrada gets pulled for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the 6th. Good move, Ishikawa walked and later scored on Braun's HR. We put up 6 runs and lead 9-2.
In comes Veras..he's ineffective. In comes Manny. He throws 8 pitches, gets out of the jam and we go to the 8th.
Now Manny is due up. The 100% correct baseball move is to have Manny hit and let him continue. Even Manny being Manny, a middle reliever, can continue even finish up the routine win, or pitch into the 9th. But no, Roenicke pinch hits for Manny, we fail to score...but we go into the top of the 8th with the 9-2 lead intact.
The season unravels as we end up using KRod and Axford, both due rest days...7 pitchers in all, 6 relievers. I had a meltdown, it was a terrible decision. I said then and there...we will lose this game and as a consquence we will lose the next 2 the following game as well.
But baseball is a funny game, Ramirez won this game with a 2 run walk off HR....but critically, we lose the next 2 games.
I would like to continue, but it might be boring. Please tell me if it is.
We were about to go 3 games under .500...we are going into the AS break and as we know, we have 6 games against 2 of the worst clubs in baseball coming up.
Anyway, that's where it all went wrong. Any bad managerial decision which followed can be traced back to this game.

(RNN) - Counsel arguing against California's Proposition 8 at the Supreme Court cited the precedent of Loving v. Virginia, a civil rights case decided 46 years ago that legalized interracial marriage.
Mildred Loving, a black woman, and Richard Loving, a white man from Caroline County, VA, could not get married due to the state's anti-miscegenation laws.
The couple married in Washington but were arrested upon their return to Virginia for violating the state's Racial Integrity Act.
After pleading guilty, the couple relocated to Washington to avoid a year in jail. Their case eventually made its way to Virginia's Supreme Court in 1966, where the statute and the criminal convictions were upheld.
Mildred Loving contacted the ALCU, and lawyer Bernard Cohen took up the case. He argued Virginia's statue violated the Fourteenth Amendment, which prevents states from denying rights of any U.S. citizen, who are guaranteed "equal protection of the laws."
The Supreme Court overturned the Lovings' criminal convictions in a unanimous decision on June 12, 1967, agreeing the anti-miscegenation statute violated the Fourteenth Amendment.

Bikram Choudhury, founder of the popular Bikram Yoga practice, undertaken in temperatures up to 105 degrees, is suing fellow hot yoga instructor Greg Gumucio for copyright infringement.
Choudhury believes that Gumucio's chain of yoga studios, called Yoga for the People, is using the Bikram yoga practices unlawfully. Gumucio, a graduate of the Bikram Yoga Instructor school, holds "Traditional Hot Yoga" classes at his studios, and, although utilitizing the same 26-pose sequence as Bikram, strongly believes his courses are perfectly legal. With classes costing $8 each, Gumucio's studios offer a far more affordable workout option compared to the Bikram classes, often costing $25 a pop.
Bikram's lawyer, Robert Gilchrest, sent an investigator to one of Gumucio's classes, who said that the classes "virtually mirror" Bikram yoga, The New York Times reported. While some have questioned how Choudhury can copyright yoga poses, given the practice's ancient roots, Gilchrest told the Times that the dialogue his client uses during yoga sessions and the sequence of postures associated with Bikram can be protected under intellectual property law.
Bikram Choudhury sued the president of Prana, Inc., for copyright and trademark infringement in 2003, alleging that the organization used a picture of Bikram Choudhury in its advertising material and taught a class called "Bikram's Basic Yoga."

fuel your fire
a big life functional food
One of the most common concerns I hear from both male and female patients is that their once slim physique is now home to an ever expanding population of fat cells, especially around their abdominal area, which tends to be particularly stubborn to remove with age. The good news is that there are things you can do today to beat belly fat through the years.
Subdue Your Chronic Stress Hormone - Cortisol. Not only does excess cortisol, increase appetite and cravings, it causes abdominal fat even in people who are otherwise thin. It also causes loss of memory, muscle mass, libido and bone density. In other words, chronic stress makes us soft, flabby and much older than we truly are. If your blood sugar levels are on a rollercoaster all day, you can bet your cortisol is as well. You can reduce the stress associated with blood sugar imbalance by eating a high protein breakfast within one hour of rising and avoiding more than a 3-4 hour gap between meals or snacks. Use stress management techniques such as meditation and sufficient sleep. The herbal formula relora lowers cortisol, assists with abdominal fat, helps restore healthy sleep patterns. I recommend two pills in the evening before bed and one pill upon waking.
Eliminate Excess Estrogen. In both men and women, excess estrogen is associated with water retention, poor libido, difficulty in losing belly fat, weight gain around the hips in pre-menopausal women or in the breast and abdomen area in both men and postmenopausal women. If any of these symptoms are an issue, you need to increase the elimination of harmful estrogen by increasing your fiber intake (to 35 grams per day) and supplementing daily with a probiotic to replace healthy bacterial balance in the gut, which is essential for supporting belly fat loss.
You may also consider a product called indole-3-carbinol or formula that provides the nutrients involved in the breakdown and elimination of estrogen such as magnesium, B complex, calcium d-glucarate, turmeric and green tea.
Master The In's and Out's of Insulin. Insulin is the only hormone that instructs the body to store energy as fat. Released mostly in response to the sugar and carbohydrates in our diet, it is one of the main reasons why carbs fuel more belly fat, cravings or an incessant appetite as we age. The best way to decrease insulin along with your belly fat is to increase your healthy fat and protein intake while lowering your intake of all starchy carbohydrates (breads, grains, potatoes, rice, etc) and to enjoy a protein rich afternoon snack. For the complete four week menu plan to restore your insulin balance, visit The Supercharged Hormone Diet.
