last few years, the Dolphins take more of a wait-and-see approach.
Reportedly, they made an offer to Antrel Rolle last night, but it
appears he signed with the Giants. The Dolphins hosted Karlos Dansby,
and we hear an offer was accepted, but there is no confirmation yet.
Does that make them better?
Meanwhile, the Jets picked up Antonie Cromartie, and got better.
And the Ravens traded a 3rd and 4th for Anquan Boldin and a 5th.
That's a trade I woulda made!
Released today was Joey Porter (big shocker), Akin Ayodele (a minor
surprise), and Gibril Wilson (not at all a surprise, thought Ireland
was defending the guy last week).
Not released was Ted Ginn, jr. I'm gonna hold my breath until he's gone.

On August 15, U.S. Senate candidate Robert Sarvis was a guest on "Inside Charlottesville," hosted by Coy Barefoot on WCHV-FM. Their conversation focused on recent events in Ferguson, Missouri, and Sarvis' reaction to them.
"There's a lot of reasons to be unhappy" about the situation in Ferguson, said Sarvis, who is the Libertarian Party nominee running against incumbent Democrat Mark Warner and Republican nominee Ed Gillespie. "I think everyone was shocked looking at their TVs and seeing what's going on" there.
All of this, he continued, "is seriously problematic. The event that started it all was the tragic death of an unarmed young black man," adding that "from beginning to end, it's been a serious problem and a question of what's happened to our civil liberties: freedom of the press, private property, freedom to assemble to protest. We should all be standing up and saying something's wrong here."
Sarvis identified "the heart of the matter" as "the militarization of the police, the loss of civil liberties, and the changing relationship between police and citizens."
The real issue, he continued, "is the drug war," which has led to the militarization of local police forces. He noted, however, that with legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington state, and polls showing support for more widespread legalization, "we're moving forward on it as a country."
Barefoot asked whether there is a contradiction when conservatives argue that government is too big but then support laws that limit individual freedoms.
"When people ask the difference between a libertarian and a conservative," Sarvis replied, "I jump at the chance to point out that I'm consistent on individual freedom. Republicans care a lot about law and order; I do too. Being a policeman is a hard job but that doesn't mean we should give up our civil liberties."
The federal government, he pointed out, sells – and often gives outright – military equipment to local police forces, including armored vehicles and high-powered weapons.
Sarvis noted that although these events are happening in Missouri, "it still affects Virginia." He brought up the example of last year's controversy when ABC agents arrested a University of Virginia student who was buying sparkling water, which the plainclothes agents mistook for beer before surrounding her vehicle and drawing their weapons on her.
"How could that have turned out differently," Sarvis asked, "if it was a young black man rather than a young white woman?"
Too many laws
One of the issues that concerns Sarvis, he said, "is this mentality that we have to extirpate everything we don't like in society. We have too many criminal laws."
He pointed to a study, highlighted in Harvey Silverglate's book Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent, which "shows individuals commit three felonies a day – not because they're criminals but because we have too many laws."
American citizens, he said, "need autonomy in their own lives. We can't be micromanaged" by the government.
Despite all that's happening – not just in Ferguson but also with regard to NSA spying, the continuing drug war, and attempts by the government to insinuate itself into the private lives of citizens – Sarvis maintained that he is "optimistic."
He explained that, "if you look at technological changes that are undermining government's ability to control our lives, it's a good thing for freedom."
In addition, he said, "the growing interest in third party and independent candidates is a good thing. I think we all ought to take advantage of opportunities like this year's Senate election to register a huge protest vote," which could result in expanding the number of parties recognized as political parties in Virginia. (If Sarvis manages to earn 10 percent of the vote or more, the Libertarian Party will qualify under Virginia law as the equal of the Republican and Democratic parties with regard to ballot access and other rules.)
"This discussion is healthy," Sarvis said. In this election, "critical issues like immigration and legalization of marijuana [are] really important. People call it the 'libertarian moment.'"
Our future, he concluded, "can go in different directions. Elections are about choosing our future."

A gigantic sinkhole, larger than a city intersection, has opened in the northern part of Guatemala City, Guatemala, after the region was battered by Tropical Storm Agatha. More than 100 people lost their lives in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador due to the intense weather.
A local newspaper reports that a security guard was killed when the giant sinkhole opened up, and local residents claim a three-story building and a house fell into the hole. Neither of these reports have been confirmed.
[popup url="http://assets.longislandpress.com/photos/gallery.php?gazpart=view&gazimage=3827″]Click here to view more photos of the sinkhole in Guatemala[/popup]
The sinkhole was blamed on poor sewage system, but was the least of Guatemala's worries, as mudslides wracked the country, burying victims, closing roads and collapsing bridges, forcing more than 100,000 people to be evacuated from their homes.
Agatha decreased in strength from tropical storm status to a tropical depression Saturday, losing it's depression ranking Sunday.

College Hockey:Miami Rebounds To Split With Ferris
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. — Special teams was the key in the game tonight as Matt Davis' deflection past Mike Brown in the second period was the game-winner as Miami earned a split with Ferris State by a 4-2 score.
The score left Ferris State head coach Bob Daniels wondering about the officiating.
"I really can't put my finger on it," he said. "The game was called really tight. When we played in the Christmas tournament, it was a definite change of pace when it comes to refereeing. I don't think this is what the fans paid to see."
After being pulled in the second period in last nights game, Redhawk goaltender Brandon Crawford-West was looking to rebound in a big way. The start he got wasn't a good one as Ferris State scored on just its second shot of the game. Andrew Winnik wristed a shot on goal that trickled through the pads of Crawford-West. Skip Renauld was on the doorstep to poke the puck in the open net to give Ferris the 1-0 lead at 6:32.
At the other end, Ferris State goaltender Mike Brown had to be sharp as the Bulldogs found themselves two-men down for over a minute-and-a-half in the middle of the first period. Miami was kept to the outside by the defense and Brown did the rest as he stopped four quality chances to keep Miami off the board.
Key penalties were the story of the second period as Ferris State just couldn't stay out of the box. The Miami power play was white-hot as it capitalized three times to put the home crowd in their seats and the Bulldogs on their heels.
Todd Grant got the first one to tie the game at 10:30. Derek Edwardson passed the puck up to the point and Grant blasted a slapshot past a screened Brown. Miami capitalized again less that two minutes later at 12:28. After Brett Smith hit the crossbar on a partial breakaway, Greg Hogeboom collected the puck and raced up ice with it. Hogeboom passed the puck over to Chris Michael who wristed a shot over the glove hand of Brown to make it 2-1.
The Bulldogs came out with more jump in the third period as they pulled within one. Mike Kinnie scored on the power play when Derrick McIver broke in on a line rush with him. Kinnie opted to shoot and hit the top corner of the net to make it 3-2 at 8:05.
It just wasn't enough. Miami scored an empty netter to secure the split at 19:41.
"It was one of those games where special teams was the key in the game," Daniels said. You can't take away from what Miami did tonight. They are a great hockey club and really played well this weekend."
The logjam in the CCHA standings caught Daniels' attention.
"Everyone in the league is so even," hesaid. "Last year, we won with only five league losses. This year, there is really no powerhouse team so maybe someone can win with 10 league losses this year. This is the reason why sweeps are so hard for everyone in the league this year."
Overall, Daniels was pleased with his team's effort tonight.
"We really played hard and it is hard to find fault with they way they played tonight," Daniels said. "The first four games we had against Alaska and Michigan State really set us in a tailspin. We have been working hard to get to .500, but we just can't get that second win in the weekend series. I don't know when these sweeps are going to come for us, but we don't have a lot of games left."
Ferris State will host Findlay next weekend while Miami hosts Nebraska-Omaha.

KROTOS (Crotus) was a rustic daimon or satyr who consorted with the Mousai (Muses) on Mount Helikon. He was a great hunter and musician, as well as an inventor who contrived the hunting bow and the rhythmic beats used to accompany music. The Mousai awarded him a place amongst the stars as the constellation Saggitarius.
CROTUS (Krotos), a son of Pan by Eupheme, the nurse of the Muses, with whom he was brought up, and at whose request he was placed among the stars as Sagittarius, as he had been a skilful shooter. (Hygin. Fab. 224; Poët. Astr. ii. 77.)
Source: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology.
Pseudo-Hyginus, Fabulae 224 (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"Mortals who were made immortal . . . Crotos, son of Pan and Eupheme, was put in sky by Musae (Muses) as Sagittarium."
Pseudo-Hyginus, Astronomica 2. 27 :
"[Constellation] Saggitarius (the Archer) . . . Some say that he is Crotus, son of Eupheme, nurse of the Musae (Muses). As Sositheus, writer of tragedies [Greek tragedian C3rd B.C.], says, he had his home on Mount Helicon and took his pleasure in the company of the Musae, sometimes even following the pursuit of hunting. He attained great fame for his diligence, for he was very swift in the woods, and clever in the arts. As a reward for his zeal the Musae asked Jove [Zeus] to represent him in some star group, and Jove did so. Since he wished to display all his skills in one body, he gave him horse flanks because he rode a great deal. He added arrows, since these would show both his keenness and his swiftness, and he gave him a Satyrus' tail because the Musae took no less pleasure in Crotus than Liber [Dionysos] did in the Satyri. Before his feet are a few stars arranged in a circle, which some said were a wreath, thrown off as by one at play."

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Bendian, Gregg
Bendian, Gregg, drummer, percussionist, composer; b. Englewood, New Jersey, 13 July 1963. His parents, Martin (b. November 17, 1938, Jersey City, NJ) and Patricia (b. December 29, 1940, Jersey City, NJ), were great music lovers and he was exposed to a wide range of music very early on in life. Neither of his parents were musicians, nor were his three siblings, Seth (b. Feb. 1 1965), Marc (b. Aug. 6 1968) and Meredith (b. Aug. 8 1970).
Initially in Fairview NJ, in 1971, the Bendian family moved to Teaneck and this had a major influence on Gregg's artistic development. Teaneck had an excellent school system and one of the finest arts programs in the country. For the first time he was directly exposed to various forms of Black culture. He heard jazz, funk and R&B jazz music at many of his friend's homes.
Gregg began rudimental drum studies at the age of 8 with Wells Jenny and played in the school orchestra. During junior high school, he began piano and theory studies, and began writing his own music. Gregg played drums in rock and jazz bands with friends, learning covers of popular songs and starting to perform original material.
Throughout the 1970's Gregg became obsessed with the music of the progressive rock and jazz/rock fusion era. He soon turned to modern classical music and immersed himself in composing chamber music during his high school years, studying classical percussion under Gary Van Dyke of the New Jersey.
He was in the Percussion Ensemble and studied composition with Jeffrey Kreske of William Paterson University (both 1978-81). Gregg also studied drumset with Andrew Cyrille and Steve McCall at their Greenwich Village studios during his 1980-81 senior year of high school and attended many concerts of the new jazz artists such as Sun Ra, Don Cherry, Jack DeJohnette, Cecil Taylor, Jimmy Lyons, Ed Blackwell, Charlie Haden, Julius Hemphill, Ornette Coleman and Anthony Braxton at the Public Theater and at Soundscape.
He attended Rutgers University from 1981 and studied composition with the late Noel DaCosta. DaCosta's interest in joining classical music with jazz and world musics had a profound effect on Gregg. Gregg left Rutgers in 1983 (but continued to study with DaCosta through 86) to immerse himself in the New York Downtown scene. It was during this time that he first played with as Derek Bailey, Tim Berne, John Zorn, Ned Rothenberg, William Parker, Mark Dresser, Tom Cora and many more. He formed The Gregg Bendian Project and first began presenting concerts of his own music in New York in January of 1984.
Shortly after playing with Derek Bailey, Gregg was asked by Bailey to join his improvising collective, Company, along with Leo Smith, George Lewis, Robert Dick, Lol Coxhill, Gavin Bryars, Roscoe Mitchell, Peter Kovald and Peter Brotzmann.
Soon after, Cecil Taylor heard a tape of Bendian and Bailey's duo improvisations and when Tony Oxley was unavailable for a Boston performance, Taylor asked Bendian to fill in. He played with Cecil Taylor's Feel Trio for most of 1989. During this period of intense activity the trio toured widely and recorded an album.
Bendian currently leads the ensembles INTERZONE (whose "Requiem for Jack Kirby" was a "Best Album Cover of the Year" in JazzTimes magazine), TRIO PIANISSIMO, THE MAHAVISHNU PROJECT (performing John McLaughlin's compositions from the 1970s), and is co-founder of THE OPEN ASPECTS ENSEMBLE. He appeared as timpani soloist with Ornette Coleman's Harmelodic Chamber Players. He is a clinician for Paiste cymbals, Drum Workshop Drums, Attack heads and Musser tuned percussion and teaches privately.
He is married to Silvia Acost-Bendian (b. 1960) and they have one child, Olias Raul Bendian (b. 2002).

Muay Thai Boxing
Muay Thai Kickboxing (meaning 'art of eight limbs') is a martial art from Thailand which has a history dating back thousands of years. It is a Thai national sport that combines punches, knee strikes, elbows and kicks. It also features head butts and standing grappling to exhaust and defeat the opponent. It is also performed on important festivals and the kings' birthday.
It is well renowned for its simplicity in moves, but also because it is extremely effective in practical situations. The core power comes from the efficient movements. Muay Thai benefits the practitioner in many ways which can include:
- Confidence
- Overall Fitness
- Awareness/alertness
- Spiritual awakening
- Calmness
- Stress control
Muay Thai kickboxing's training aims to increase power, accuracy, speed and methods develop cardio-vascular endurance but also a warrior's fighting spirit. The training also requires condition training to strengthen the arms, legs and body from heavy impact and hence to prevent injury. It is certainly a tough sport. Whether you are a strong or weaker person, Muay Thai will certainly toughen you up.
Muay Thai training routines:
- Warming up
- Sparring
- Running
- Shadow boxing
- Clinch work
- Bag boxing
- Pad work
- Free weights
- Skipping
- Speed ball
- Cool down
Muay Thai kick boxing is also effective in a street defence perspective and has been used in the military, for law enforcement and at self-defence gyms. Whether you just want to get fit or taking self defence seriously, I recommend Muay Thai because it is very challenging but also very rewarding personally.
Why not join a reputable Muay Thai gym near you and find out for yourself the many benefits it has to offer. You may find the work will be hard and sometimes frustrating but the success and benefits that result is unimaginable. You will become a better person with an improved attitude towards life.

This question already has an answer here:
Let $(a_n)$ be a non-zero real sequence with $\left (\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} \right)$ bounded. How might we prove that $$\liminf_{n\to\infty} \, \frac{|a_{n+1}|}{|a_n|} \leq \liminf_{n\to\infty} \, |a_n|^{\frac{1}{n}}$$ I've tried a number of approaches, including stuff with the AM-GM inequality, but haven't quite been able to get it out. Thanks for the help.

I just made this for a Father's Day gift. It was very quick to make and quite easy. I also liked that unlike most liver mousse recipes, it didn't require nearly a pound of butter and/or cream. (Don't want to clog Dear old Dad's arteries!) I only made one minor change which was to saute the livers in truffle butter and used a bit of olive oil for the onions and shallots. I don't like liver but I liked this a lot! The flavor is a very nice mix of sweet and savory. The flavor of the liver seems to be complemented by the herbs and onion. This would be a great item to take to an hors d'ouevre party!
Country-Style Chicken Liver Mousse
From EatingWell: March/April 2010
What makes this chicken liver mousse so special is its coarse texture and use of very little fat. Most recipes for liver mousse made from cooked chicken livers contain copious amounts of butter or other fats for a moist and creamy texture. This version gets moisture, flavor and texture from onions, shallots and apple. For best results, do not overcook the chicken livers, which should be pink on the interior. Serve with mustard and crackers or toasted bread.

Brad Keselowski proved himself "king" at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon yesterday after dominating the speed charts during both Sprint Cup practices, gaining pole for the Sta-Green 200 NASCAR Nationwide race, leading for 153 of the 200 laps and claiming his 4th victory in 4 races for Team Penske. In fact, the only mishap was when he dropped the American flag out of the window of his No. 22 Ford onto the track during his victory lap.
''It was really windy and my hand's been sore,'' he said referring to the wound suffered when a champagne bottle broke and cut it during his Victory Lane celebration at the Sprint Cup Race in Kentucky last week. The cut was deep enough to require four stitches. ''I took my hand off the flag for the second and the wind ripped it out. It wasn't one of my prouder moments.''
He needed four stitches to close a wound he received during his Victory Lane celebration in the Sprint Cup race at Kentucky. He tried to open the bottle of champagne by hitting it against a podium, and the bottle broke and cut his hand.
Keselowski started his 2014 season finishing second to Denny Hamlin in the Sprint Unlimited and hasn't finished worse than 3rd this season including the Daytona 500 (where he started 33rd), and then at Phoenix where he won his first pole for the year with a record-breaking lap of 139.384 mph. Although teammate Joey Logano won pole at Las Vegas, Keselowski outran Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the final lap for his first win this season. Logano, however, came back to win the Toyota Owners 400 a few weeks later, after Keselowski became embroiled in a battle with Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth with only 4 laps remaining.
Although he finished 2nd behind Jimmie Johnson during the FedEx Autism Speaks 400 at Dover, Keselowski added to his win column by coming back win the Pocono 400 the following week.

College Hockey:Red Hawks Turn Tables on Golden Knights
Hogeboom gets two goals, assist in win for Miami
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Miami sophomore Greg Hogeboom picked up two goals during a Red Hawk four-goal second period to bring Miami from behind to defeat Clarkson, 5-2, Saturday night at Cheel Arena.
"Last night was pretty frustrating, we didn't capitalize on our opportunities, and they did," said Hogeboom afterwards. "We knew we couldn't get penalties and let their power play capitalize, we had to play five on five and work their defense."
The Red Hawks (2-2-0) turned it around after going 0-for-9 on the power play last night, scoring three out of their five goals on the power play, and going 3-for-5 on the evening with the man advantage.
Clarkson flew out of the gate with the same momentum they had on the previous evening, scoring just 1:48 into the contest. Freshman Mac Faulkner dumped the puck into the right corner, and as Matt Poapst went into the corner to retrieve the puck, he fed it back in front of the goal. Before Miami netminder David Burleigh could react, Kevin O'Flaherty was there to put it into the net, picking up his first goal of the season for the Golden Knights and making it a 1-0 game.
The Red Hawks began to play solid hockey, keeping the puck in the Clarkson zone. A penalty to Ian Manzano at the end of the first period for holding gave Miami its chance to break onto the score sheet.
Just 47 seconds into the second frame, Hogeboom put in an unassisted effort when he came from behind the Clarkson goal and stuck the puck between the right side post and goaltender Mike Walsh's leg, knotting the game at one.
Miami kept up the pressure when Hogeboom picked up his second tally of the game on the man-advantage. Hogeboom skated in from the right faceoff circle and took a shot that beat Walsh high glove side, giving the Red Hawks their first lead of the game, 2-1.
Clarkson head coach Mark Morris called a time out in an attempt to regain control of the contest for his team. The move worked, as the Golden Knights tied the game at two on a goal from senior David Evans.
Freshman Jay Latulippe skated down the ice along the right side and passed the puck off to Evans in the center. Evans then switched the puck from his forehand to his backhand. The move allowed for a hole to open up on Burleigh, and Evans made the opportunity count, scoring his second goal in two games.
The momentum shift didn't last long, as Miami regained the lead at the 16:35 mark in the second. Already on the power play and with a delayed penalty call pending, freshman Joe Pomaranski took a shot from the blue line. With Walsh out on the top of the crease and down, the puck bounced around in front and Mike Glumac was on the doorstep for the Red Hawks, taking the puck and stuffing it into the unprotected net.
Miami's fourth goal of the period came late in the frame, when Evan Cheverie took a shot from down low on the right side that beat Walsh gloveside high for a 4-2 lead.
Morris pulled Walsh for the rest of the period and put in Karl Mattson. Walsh returned to the net in the third period, but his stay was short-lived when at the 4:57 mark the Red Hawks picked up their fifth goal. Mike Kompon fed the puck from the center to defensemen Pomaranski along the right side of the ice. Pomaranski then fired a shot that beat Walsh to make it a 5-2 game.
"Last night we didn't play very well, and (Clarkson) played extremely well," commented head coach Enrico Blasi afterwards. "Tonight was a good sign for our team to come back and play hard. Our defense played well in keeping guys out from in front, it was a team effort all-around."
Burleigh stood tall between the pipes for Miami, making 16 saves and allowing two goals. Walsh played for just over 40 minutes, posting 18 saves and allowing five goals, while Mattson made six saves. The Red Hawks dominated the shot chart in the second frame, putting up 14 attempts to Clarkson's 4, and finishing with 29 overall. Clarkson, which lived by the power play the night before, went 0-for-5 with the man advantage.
"We had a lot of fortunate bounces last night, and we made the most of them, said coach Morris afterwards. "Momentum is a big determining factor in college hockey. Give Miami credit, they corrected a lot of mistakes, and they played with more heart than we did. A lack of discipline was the key to our downfall."
Miami will begin league action next weekend at Ferris State, while Clarkson is idle until Nov. 3 when it hosts ECAC and North Country rival St. Lawrence.

Negative Palmar Angle Syndrome
29 November 2013
Could this be your horse?
Could this be your horse?
Negative Palmar Angle Syndrome
I think that the start to any discussion on feet involves putting into perspective their importance. Horses are 4 legged creatures and they carry 60% of their weight on their front legs. They do not have an articulation joint between the front legs and the body. You can imagine that you carry your weight on your legs and distribute this weight through your hip joints. Horses have a muscular sling made up by the superficial and deep pectoral muscles that distribute this weight to their front legs. The back end of the horse is responsible for propulsion and the front end is responsible for steering and carrying the majority of the weight.
When we look at the proportion of lameness's we see in horses, more often than not they are lame in front and of those front limb lameness's, 80% of the time the problem is below the knee.
The reason we spend so much time and energy discussing feet, chatting to farriers and trying to perfect our shoeing is because the hoof is the most common cause of horses being off work and it is a dynamic structure. It changes through the seasons and it changes in response to our shoeing techniques.
At this point I want to do a brief overview of the anatomy of the hoof.
This is a diagrammatic representation of what the angles on a radiograph should look like. The pedal bone is suspended by the lamella within the hoof structure. The digital cushion at the base of the pedal bone provides the shock absorbing function to the foot.
The hoof is a highly evolved and very complex structure. The most common cause of lameness in spring is normally sole bruising and hoof abscessation. Horses can either bruise through pressure being applied from the outside of the sole, for example they will play around in the paddock and stand on a stone, land a little awkwardly after a jump or get a bit of sole pressure from a shoe. Or they can get pressure being applied from the inside of the hoof, where the angle between the pedal bone and the ground is so narrow that it pinches the sole, resulting in deep seated corns. Basically bruising of the sole is like any tissue that becomes bruised, the tissue becomes damaged, and blood and inflammatory mediators are found in the area of damage. These mediators are responsible for the pain we see on hoof testers and lameness under saddle. Often they can be worse in the soft going as the sand moulds into the shoe and applies more pressure to an already sensitive sole. This bruising creates a marvellous environment for secondary bacterial infection. If there is standing water and mud in the horse's environment, like during our Cape winters, then often bruising will develop into a hoof abscess.
Some horses appear to be more susceptible to hoof problems than others. This is normally when we start to suspect that the conformation of the pedal bone within the hoof may well be the cause of the problem. We did a hoof survey towards the end of 2010 and were surprised to find that a large proportion of horses had what we call negative angles, or Negative Palmar Angle Syndrome.
This is a radiograph of a fairly normal foot. If you compare this to the diagrammatic representation you will note that the Palmar angle, the angle between the base of the pedal bone and the shoe is fairly normal. The following radiograph shows what the anatomy looks like when the angle is negative.
We did do the survey after a long wet winter. We feel that these angles tend to deteriorate over winter. The hoof tissues remain damp for extended periods of time and this may be the cause of the sinking of the heels. The rate of hoof growth in winter may also play a role. Sometimes negative angles can be suspected clinically. If you have a typical long toe low heel conformation, it is likely that negative angles will be found on radiographs. The only way to really determine the degree of the angle is to measure this radiographically.
I think the biggest problem with this condition is that due to the complexity of the anatomy of the hoof, horses can live with a certain degree of irregularity and show very little lameness. However, when the condition has been there for a long time, the impact that it has on other structures, like the deep tendon, the navicular bone, the coffin joint and the collateral ligaments is irreversible. These structures don't heal well. They have limited blood supply and are difficult to rest because they have such an important job to do. The negative angles also further crush the existing blood supply. They are also relatively inaccessible from a treatment and diagnostic perspective. They are difficult to block individually and the soft tissues are almost impossible to visualise with anything other than an MRI. Once you have a problem within the hoof, the impact on the performance of the horse is frustrating, they have good and bad days, they normally go lame just before major competitions and the owner often doesn't know exactly what the problem is.
The image above shows the impact of the negative angles on the digital cushion. The digital cushion is healthy and providing a shock absorption function on the right. The foot on the left shows an atrophied digital cushion with compression of the blood supply to the pedal bone and surrounding structures.
We mentioned earlier that the front limbs carry 60% of the horse's body weight. Even if they have a small amount of discomfort coming from their front feet, they will then throw their weight backwards and show other more subtle signs of lameness. Sore backs, reluctance to move forward, stopping or jumping to a certain side during lessons and gluteal pain. Primary back injury is seldom the cause of back pain; it normally originates from irregular weight distribution. It is important to rule out back injury, but more often than not you find the problem in the front feet.
Treatment involves early identification of the problem and addressing management issues that may be contributing to the problem. Removing the shoes, putting horses onto hoof growth supplements and leaving them off for approximately 3 months help with improving hoof growth and giving the farriers something to work with to improve marked negative angles. In extreme cases we can medicate the navicular bursae. It does seem to help with pain relief of the soft tissue structures that can be impacted by the negative angles and buy time for the farriers to address the dynamics of the hoof.
Management issues to watch out for:
Overzealous trimming, are the trimming cycles are too short?
Trim foot to horse, don't try to get the perfect looking foot by compromising the mass of the hoof.
Excessive moisture. Keep horses in and out of the mud during very wet days.
Lack of exercise, the frog needs to be stimulated to help pump blood around the foot and stimulate hoof growth.
Unruly or difficult to handle horses are a challenge to shoe properly. Spend time on the ground training your horses to be obedient and to lift their feet for the farrier.
The links below provide some interesting insights and advice by farriers with regards to facing the challenge of corrective Negative Palmar Angle Syndrome.
A few key pointers to take home are:
Mass is more important than balance
3-4 shoeing's to get a mild grade back on the right path
Remove only what the foot does not need and leave everything that it does need.
Maintain the relationship between sole depth and PA
The impact of the future soundness of your horse depends on you knowing what you have so that you can deal with it appropriately. Annual radiographs will help to provide both you and your farrier with the information you need to address these problems early and make sure that the long term damage to the navicular, the deep tendon and the digital cushion are minimised.

Buffalo, Jan. 22.
Dear Sir:
Please do not publish the note I sent you the other day about "Hy. Slocum's" plagiarism entitled "Three Aces"—it is not important enough for such a long paragraph.1 Webb writes me that he has put in a paragraph about it, too—& I have requested him to suppress it.2 If you would simply state, without any fuss in a line & a half under "Literary Notes" that you mistook one "Hy. Slocum" (no, it was one "Carl Byng," I perceive) "Carl Byng" for Mark Twain, & that the form it was the former who wrote the plagiarism entitled "Three Aces," I think that would do a fair justice without any unseemly display. But it is hard to be accused of plagiarism—a crime I never have committed in my life.
Ys Truly
Mark Twain.
I have just crossed Mr. Carl Byng & Mr. Hy. Slocum both off my the "Express's" list of contributors (for their [ own good own good ]—for everything they write is straightway saddled onto me.)3

I didn't feel like using another pan and I was short on time, so I skipped the Onion, and did not saute the garlic or the spinach. It was still tasty.
My husband and I really enjoyed this. It was very satisfying as a vegetarian main dish. I'll definitely be making it again, but I will add a little more salt and pepper next time.
I changed all the ingredients and this recipe worked great!

Kelly Ripa
"I get paid to make out with the hunks!" -Kelly Ripa, on one of the perks of being a soap star.
Kelly Ripa became famous with soap opera fans after she appeared on All My Children as Hayley Vaughan in 1990. When she won the right to replace the annoying yet popular Kathie Lee Gifford as sidekick to Regis Philbin, her fame jumped to a new level.
The amazing thing about her is that, while she was a definite dime before she had children and did have a certain amount of curve to her frame, she was a virtual babe after motherhood. Call it the amount of jelly she packs into her slim and petite frame. Call it the proverbial radiant "glow" of being a new mother. Call it her infectious smile. Just call it sexy.
She has taken Live! to a ratings high with her candid and informal approach to the talk show format. And to top it off, she is part of a successful show business marriage -- her husband Mark Consuelos plays her husband Mateo Santos on AMC -- and has found the time to raise a family as well. With a pedigree like that, we would consider Ripa to be a major threat to add more accolades to her resume in the future.
Kelly Ripa BiographyKelly Ripa was born October 2, 1970 in Stratford, New Jersey. Her father Joe, a labor union president, and her mother Esther, a homemaker, eventually moved to Berlin, New Jersey, where Kelly grew up with younger sister Linda, now a children's book author.
Kelly's foray into show business was somewhat of a fluke. After performing in her senior high-school play, The Ugly Duckling, she was encouraged to pursue acting. She had studied ballet since age three and played the piano but had not considered entertaining as a career.
a soapy start
Kelly enrolled in Camden Community College in New Jersey and landed parts in local theater productions, including H.M.S. Pinafore, The Wizard of Oz and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
In 1990, Kelly auditioned for and won the role of Hayley Vaughan on the successful ABC television network daytime drama, All My Children. Her turn as Hayley proved to be immensely popular with the devout and loyal audience of the show. This was never truer than in May of 2000, when her character finally married beau Mateo Santos, in a memorable ceremony that drew spectacular ratings for ABC.
The ironic twist for Kelly is that her real-life husband, Mark Consuelos, with whom she tied the knot in 1996 and has two young children, plays none other than the handsome Santos on AMC.
In the span of a decade, Kelly Ripa has become one of the most popular actors on daytime television and has graced the covers of numerous fan magazines. She received the 1996 Soap Opera Award for Outstanding Younger Lead Actress and along with her husband, the 1997 Soap Opera Award for Hottest Romance. Kelly has also been honored with two Daytime Emmy Award nominations in 1993 and 1999.
a stand-in in every way
Along with four other daytime divas, Ripa was featured in a national Jockey marketing campaign for bras in 1999. The highlight of the campaign was the unveiling of a 90-foot billboard featuring the ladies in the middle of Times Square in Manhattan.
A special achievement for Kelly was being named Best Actress in 1999 by the New York City Independent Film Festival, for her work in the feature film, The Stand-In.
kelly and regis live! on
In February 2001, the irresistible Miss Ripa invaded every household in North America when she replaced Kathie Lee Gifford and joined Regis Philbin as the co-host of the popular syndicated program, Live! With Regis and Kelly.
As she pulls double duty with Live! and AMC, juggling marriage and motherhood at the same time, Kelly's fan base continues to expand unabated.

An Agent of Change: LA's 'Most Inspirational Teacher' to Share Participatory Action Research Tactics
Using research to transform urban and other school systems will be discussed Wednesday, March 7, from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Room 108, Canevin Hall at Duquesne University.
Duquesne's School of Education is hosting Dr. Patrick Camangian, an assistant professor in the Teacher Education Department at the University of San Francisco and a "Most Inspirational Teacher" award winner in Los Angeles, for a light lunch and discussion of participatory action research.
Some experts suggest that action research can be used to bridge the gap between theory and practice. It can help identify problems, test and develop solutions, empower teachers, expand knowledge and provide professional growth opportunities.
The process of systematic inquiry can also be transmitted and utilized within many other disciplines, writes Craig Mertler, author of the book Action Research, which currently is being used by students in the School of Education.
Mertler describes action research as any systematic inquiry conducted by teachers, administrators, counselors or others with a vested interest in the teaching and learning process or classroom environments. The purpose is to gather information about how particular schools operate, how teachers teach and how students learn.
Camangian taught English for seven years at Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles, where he was awarded "Most Inspirational Teacher" by former Mayor Richard Riordan and the school's student body. He currently volunteers at Mandela High School in Oakland, Calif., teaching 10th-grade English and has collaborated with groups including California's Association of Raza Educators, the Education for Liberation national network and San Francisco's Teachers 4 Social Justice.


text: Stuart Brock is a forgotten writer of the post-World War II era. His Just Around the Coroner (1948) is a mystery featuring his private eye Peter Cory. This sort of punning title is common in the pulp magazines of the era, but Brock only appeared a few times in the pulps, in 1952 as "Brock", and six times under his real name, Louis Trimble. The best parts of this book are Chapters 1 - 5, in which Cory is sent to investigate jewel robberies at a swank hotel. These sections show Brock celebrating America's new found post war affluence. He seems extremely proud of the modernistic elegance of his hotel, and the book looks forward to all the executive suites and modernistic offices and hotels that will be built during the 1950's. His detective too, while having tough guy mannerisms, is calculated to express a new sophistication in America. Cory is a former tennis bum with a Nob Hill background and an elegant wardrobe of $200 suits. He has an upper class appearance, which is why he is sent undercover as a wealthy hotel guest in the novel. His character is an Ordinary Guy who gets to move among the economic elite. He clearly represents the dream of many returning vets that they could move into the upper middle classes, a dream that would become a reality for many ordinary Americans during the next thirty years, as America moved from the mass poverty of the Depression to the mass affluence of the 1960's.

The face-off between the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Patriot Water continued Tuesday, as the company's president, Andrew Blocksom, had choice words for an agency he says is attacking his business.
Blocksom finds himself in yet another dispute with ODNR, which he says has taken aim at his company because the agency views it as a competitor in the drilling-waste-disposal business.
Patriot learned from a representative at D&L Energy last week that the regulatory agency would not allow the waste- water treatment facility to accept drilling waste from the company's headquarters at 2761 Salt Springs Road in Youngstown.
Last month, the permits of D&L Energy and Hardrock Excavating were revoked, with the stipulation that drilling waste could no longer be stored at the companies' headquarters, after state regulators determined that oil, brine and drilling mud were dumped intentionally down a storm drain at the site.
In a statement released on the matter, ODNR said Tuesday its main objective "is to enforce strict regulations to protect Ohio waters and ensure environmental protection, as well as public health and safety."
It added that a letter was sent to Patriot notifying the company that it was not listed on the "approved disposal plan for shale transportation, which is required to properly track and ensure the chain of custody for oil-field waste."
Patriot treats light, low-salt-content water generated from fracking, a process in which sand, water and chemicals are pumped into shale at a high pressure to release gas trapped within rock formations thousands of feet underground. It does not treat heavier, high-salinity brine that is easily disposed of in injection wells.
Blocksom contends that he operates under the scrutiny of local, federal and state officials, using scientifically proven methods to treat the lightweight, lower-salinity drilling water. He said Tuesday his company was granted permission by the previous ODNR administration to dispose of the lighter fluid.
The company determines what haulers are bringing to its facility to ensure it meets criteria for disposal. It then conducts thorough testing and treating, he said. Afterward, the treated water is sent to the Warren Water Treatment plant where the process is repeated and the treated water is reintroduced into the Mahoning River, just as other industrial wastewater is.
"ODNR wants a fee for every barrel that goes into an injection well, and they continue to make false accusations that my business threatens the [Mahoning] river," he said. "If I was a threat, wouldn't you think I'd be out of business? I can't screw up here, there's checks and balances, I have big brother looking over my shoulder constantly and my company does not have a single violation."
ODNR has directed D&L to pump more than 300,000 gallons of drilling waste at the site into Class II injection wells. ODNR did not answer questions Tuesday regarding its possible concerns over competition with Patriot. The agency receives a small fee for each barrel of waste disposed of in Ohio's injection wells.
Last year, the agency claimed that Patriot's treatment processes were ineffective and harmful to Ohio's waterways, effectively shutting Patriot's operations for three months, beginning last April. Patriot filed two lawsuits against ODNR in 2012, one of which seeks punitive damages for the time it was closed.
In August, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a 900-page report confirming Patriot's full compliance with federal law regarding wastewater treatment, Blocksom said.
ODNR also said Tuesday that it has proposed legislation in the governor's budget bill that would prohibit the disposal of any treated oil-field waste into Ohio's groundwater.
April Bott, Blocksom's attorney, says that legislation is aimed specifically at Patriot, as it is the only facility in the state that treats drilling waste.
In a letter sent Monday to ODNR, warning the agency of its interference in Patriot's operations, Blocksom claims light, low-salinity water creates problems for injection wells.
Because it is lighter, low-salinity water requires more pressure when operators push it down wells. In his letter, Blocksom linked the pressure variances granted to D&L in 2011 to a series of earthquakes its Northstar 1 injection well triggered on New Year's Eve.
The pressure disrupts the well and has the ability to plug it up, leading to seismic activity, Blocksom wrote in his letter. He also claimed that the agency is withholding the fluid's radioactivity from injection-well operators. Though no radium was found in OEPA tests of the drilling fluid during its investigation, brine does contain radium, and Blocksom said his facility found the element in its own tests.
Jeffrey Dick, a geology professor at Youngstown State University, said light, low-salinity drilling waste does require pressure variances, beyond regulatory operating rates, but he added there have been no conclusive studies to suggest more pressure causes seismic activity.
It's time to shut down those guys at Patriot. They are likely to send that polluted water to the Warren Sewer Treatment plant, where nothing except bacteria and solids are removed. None of the salts and poisons in the fracking water are removed. Makes you wonder why it is sent there at all? Something shady going on.
Drilling in China and importing LNG and oil is the logical thing to do. Most of our manufacturing is already done there.
If the treamtnet plant can not treat the waste why is it sent there. If that is what this spat is all about i got to side with the ODNR here There is more to this story then we know.
Well stated GeorgeinYoungstown. Also if they want to drill in China go for it the environmental laws in China would be even more to their liking then here.
I doubt all that radium is natural. Another claim form the industry that is not entirely true.

What is it with CW shows this week? Four of the network's series have had a season finale these past few days with another still to come tonight. Last night was the season finale of one of my favourite series, Gossip Girl. The final episode of season 3, Last Tango Then Paris, ended with so many cliff hangers; I can't wait until season 4 returns in September. I'm keeping tight-lipped for all the UK fans out there (the finale airs tomorrow on ITV2) but I will drop a few plot spoilers of what happens. Little J loses her virginity… read more »

I made a booking for guided cycling tour in Bologna. Unfortunately it was raining very hard, so our guide made a creative decision: a walking tour around city. The Bologna porticoes totally 40 km are unique and also... we stayed dry :
Our guide was very excited about the city and told very interesting stories about Italian and city history.
I strongly recommend, real professional tour!
August 2014
Exciting time! Not exactly what I expected but I was surprised and enjoyed this tour. We started by jumping right onto busy city streets. Though I have to say, for a person not use to bike riding in the city, the drivers and buses always yielded to us and did not get mad, this is not what I would expect riding in a city in the US. Our guide was very nice. She took us on a nice loop. We stopped at the train station, library, city center, church, monastery, university etc. We covered an amazing amount of ground in a short period of time. And then had a wonderful lesson in history and the current way of life in this very nice city. Our guide drew out our tour on the hotel map that I had. I have kept this and even took a picture of it to show my friends and family where we went. For a personalized, private, diverse, comprehensive tour, this is a great option. And after 30 days traveling and touring, it was nice to ride bikes and break up the monotony of the walking and tour buses. Our guide was lovely, I can't find her name... Nice job!

Tamara was an excellent guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour on bikes. It was a bit expensive, and we would have preferred to be in a group. This tour required us to form our own group in order to get a lower price, rather than join a group tour. But the tour itself was excellent.

Let $f$ be a non-constant entire function. I'd like to view $f$ as the projection mapping in a fiber bundle, where the base space is $X =f(\mathbb{C})$ (which according to Picard is either $\mathbb{C}$ or $\mathbb{C} \setminus \{z_0\}$), and the bundle space is the collection $\bigcup_{x\in X}f^{-1}(x)$. In words, the fiber over each $f(z)=x\in X$ is the (discrete) set of points which $f$ maps to $x$. Is anyone familiar with a reference treating this aspect ?

A pedantic remark is that it won't always be a fiber bundle (which in this case is more commonly called a covering space as the fibers will be discrete) over the image. For instance, if $f(z) = z^2$, the fiber over the origin doesn't look like the other fibers.
Anyway, you are describing the Riemann surface attached to the problem of inverting $f$. For example, if $f(z) = z^2$ you are describing the "Riemann surface of the square root function."

I have a toilet with Flushmate and would like to replace it with the regular one. I am thinking on just replacing the flush components in the tank - I guess the tank is pretty standard. However, there are some talks that the bowl itself is specific for Flushmate and will not work with the regular valve. Anybody have any information, experience, ideas?
You cannot replace a Flushmate with a regular toilet valve.The bowl
itself is specially designed to work with the Flushmate system. Observe
the shape and path of the pipe going from the tank to the bowl and
compare to a regular toilet to see the difference.
Panel Pros Inc."We Haul & Install"847-774-4171
My best suggestion is don't try to alter what has been engineered. I have had 2 flushmates in my home for over 20 years with good performance. There was a recall because of the explosive nature of having a pressurized system housed in ceramic, these were specific years of production. I had to replace a part in one of the flushmates and paid $45.00 for the part-ouch!-Henry

Disease Proof
Okay folks. Let's be frank for a moment. How many of you actually believe bottled water comes from the Alps, Maine, or some secluded fountain of youth? Hopefully none of you, because this Reuters report confirms my longstanding suspicious, bottled water is just tap water. Martinne Geller explains:
PepsiCo Inc. will spell out that its Aquafina bottled water is made with tap water, a concession to the growing environmental and political opposition to the bottled water industry.Personally, I buy bottled water—about once every six months—so I can refill the bottles with my own filtered tap water.
According to Corporate Accountability International, a U.S. watchdog group, the world's No. 2 beverage company will include the words "Public Water Source" on Aquafina labels.
"If this helps clarify the fact that the water originates from public sources, then it's a reasonable thing to do," said Michelle Naughton, a Pepsi-Cola North America spokeswoman.
Pepsi Chief Executive Indra Nooyi told Reuters earlier this week the company was considering such a move.
Pepsi's Aquafina and Coca-Cola Co's Dasani are both made from purified water sourced from public reservoirs, as opposed to Danone's Evian or Nestle's Poland Spring, so-called "spring waters," shipped from specific locations the companies say have notably clean water.
Coca-Cola Co. told Reuters it will start posting online information about the quality control testing it performs on Dasani by the end of summer or early fall.

Oops! The word is "don't reuse those bottles". Guess there's some danger of leaching of bad plastic from those if reused. As my son the chemist told me, "Get yourself one of those bottles especially made for holding water while hiking". It's also better for the environment."Water-mining" is lowering the water table in some areas changing natural water supply. Plastic bottles, even if recycled aren't exactly eco-friendly.

I buy bottled water (Poland Spring). However, I want to get a counter top home filter. I've been looking at the SeaGull water filter from filterpros.com Can you advise me which of the filters on the market are the best? Is there one that is superior over all the others? Thank you. Joyce
