TC TO JANE BAILLIE WELSH; 14 January 1826; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18260114-TC-JBW-01; CL 4:11-13.
21. Salisbury-street, Saturday—[14 January 1826]
Best and Dearest!— I have literally only two or three minutes, which I can abstract from a host of stupid and perplexing avocations that beset me; nevertheless your looking westward this day shall not be utterly in vain; I will send you three lines to say that I am still alive, and still yours, and you still mine, forever and ever. Oh my kind Jane! why cannot I fly to yourself and tell you this! And clasp you in my arms, and swear that nothing earthly or unearthly shall ever divide us! But it is vain "to kick against the pricks": let me be patient.
I knew you would write to me on Monday, and I was not disappointed. Your letter was handed in to me in the evening, along with one from Mrs Montague, which had picked it up by the way. Do you think I was such a fool as to read yours first? What will you wager that I was? I send you the Noble Lady's letter, for your recreation, and to quicken you in her service, in which it would appear you are at present behind-hand. Nothing can bring her out of the ideal: she is a born Dichterinn [poetess].1
I also send you the first two Sheets of that Book, which is giving me such trouble: I wish to Heaven it were off my hands; for there is much more cry than wool2 in the whole affair. I walked yesterday from 11 o'clock till 4, seeking books and men to expedite the concern; the Bibliopolist3 himself, a Turk in grain, being also very stupid, and inexpert in devising ways and means, tho' willing, poor profit-and-loss unit, to do the best he can. The second Sheet is full of blunders, never having got the smallest correction since it went to press, or rather since it was shoved into my drawer with its fellows, some night in October, at home.
You are not to be here till next month, and I must not think of coming out to see you? Good Heavens! I must leave Town in a few days; by the middle of next month I expect to be sitting at my own fireside in Annandale, eighty good miles from Edinburgh! Hard! It is unspeakable! When I think of it, I could find in my heart to drop a bitter tear, a tear of indignant sorrow at the perverseness of things. Are you not mine, my own chosen only darling of my soul? And I must not see you? Must not— Peace! Peace! Where is the use of brawling: we cannot help it, and must teach ourselves to bend to it submissively. I could walk to Haddington to see you for ten minutes. But I yield implicitly and trustfully to your arrangement: I know your feeling on the subject is like my own. So God bless you my best beloved! Tho' I cannot see you, none can hinder me from thinking of you, and anticipating the day when we shall no more be separated. O why did you join yourself with me? I declare I could sometimes weep for you; tho' I love you as my own soul.
The day of my departure is not fixed yet; but I have already been too long here. The last sound sleep I got was in my own bed at Hoddam Hill: three months of Edinburgh would drive me to the verge of the churchyard. These are things not to be sighed over, but to be remedied. What do you think I am meditating? To rent me a cottage in the middle of a walled garden, if I can find one, in the neighbourhood of this city, and—bring my sisters Mary and Jane to keep it for me! If they do not get Shawbrae, I shall have a house to provide at any rate: for tho' I should live in a place no bigger or better than a hencoop, it shall be my own from the threshold to the rooftree, and the curse of the abomination of tumult and smoke shall be shut out from it. Or would you—?—But no! you shall not: I love you, and will not make you miserable.
Professor Leslie4 has another plan. This tunbellied philosopher met me on the North Bridge the other day, and wished me in the first place to write a prize Essay on Comets for a gold medal and fifty guineas, which he has got to dispose of in that way; a thing which I signified was a good way from my thoughts at that date: and in the second place to go to Munich (in Bavaria) with a German Potentate, who wishes to be instructed in English Literature and Science, and is a Courtier and apparently "a very good kind of a man." On this subject, I told the oily mathematician, I was ready to talk farther, if the German Potentate inclined, and give him my decision when I heard his terms. Since then I have heard nothing; and very probably shall never hear any thing. At all events I durst bet a thousand to one that I should not go and teach this German Potentate English Literature and science. We must take up house, Jane, at no distant date in some way or other!
Will you write again on Monday at great very great length: I will send you another letter before I leave this city, be that when it may. Indeed I have still many things to do; biographical notices to collect from the Advocates' Library, books to gather, arrangements to complete. I would they were over and I home. The printing will proceed as at present; and fresh books are written for from Leipzig. Write to me my Darling: I have no friend but thee. Write all that is in thy true heart. I am forever thine,
Thomas Carlyle—
I make no excuse for this coarsest of letters. Its appearance makes its apology; and I know well it will be welcome where it is going. On Monday!

Born October 11, 1936, in Rochester, New York. Bachelor and master of science in mechanical engineering from California Institute of Technology. Flew Space Shuttle approach and landing tests 1, 3 and 5; STS-3 and STS 51-F. Cumulative hours of space flight are more than 382. Colonel, U.S. Air Force (Retired) Born in New York.
NASA Official Biography
C. Gordon Fullerton is a research pilot at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif. His assignments include a variety of flight research and support activities piloting NASA's B-52 launch aircraft, the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), and other multi-engine and high performance aircraft.
Fullerton, who logged more than 380 hours in space flight, was a NASA astronaut from September 1969 until November 1986 when he joined the research pilot office at Dryden. In July 1988, he completed a 30-year career with the U.S. Air Force and retired as a Colonel. He continues in his position of research pilot as a civilian.
Fullerton was project pilot on the NASA/Convair 990 aircraft which has been modified as a Landing Systems Research Aircraft to test space shuttle landing gear components. He is also the project pilot on the F-18 Systems Research Aircraft, a testbed to develop new flight control actuators, fiber optic control systems, and other advanced aircraft technology.
As project pilot on the B-52 launch aircraft, Fullerton was involved in six air launches of the commercially developed Pegasus space vehicle.
Fullerton is the project pilot on the Propulsion Controlled Aircraft program, and has successfully landed both a modified F-15 and an MD-11 transport with all control surfaces fixed, using only engine thrust modulation for control.
In addition to these current activities, Fullerton has been project pilot on a number of other research programs at Dryden. Among them are the C-140 Jetstar Laminar Flow Control; F-111 Mission Adaptive Wing; F-14 Variable Sweep Flow Transition; Space Shuttle drag chute and F-111 crew module parachute tests with the B-52; and X-29 vortex flow control.
With over 13,800 hours of flying time, Fullerton has piloted 115 different types of aircraft, including full qualification in the T-33, T-34, T-37, T-38, T-39, F-86, F-101, F-104, F-106, F-111, F-14, F-15, F-18, X-29, KC-135, C-140, B-47, B-52 and DC-8.
Since joining Dryden as a research pilot, Fullerton has piloted nearly all the research and support aircraft flown at the facility and currently flies the F-18, B-52, the NASA/Convair 990, and the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.
Born Oct. 11, 1936, in Rochester, N. Y., Fullerton graduated from U.S. Grant High School, Portland, Ore. He received Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif., in 1957 and l958, respectively.
Fullerton entered the U. S. Air Force in July 1958 after working as a mechanical design engineer for Hughes Aircraft Co., Culver City, Calif.
After primary and basic flight school, he was trained as an F-86 interceptor pilot, and later became a B-47 bomber pilot at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz. In 1964 he was chosen to attend the Air Force Aerospace Research Pilot School (now the Air Force Test Pilot School), Edwards AFB, Calif. Upon graduation he was assigned as a test pilot with the Bomber Operations Division at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. In 1966 Fullerton was selected for and served as a flight crew member for the Air Force Manned Orbiting Laboratory program until its termination in 1969.
After assignment to the NASA Johnson Space Center, as an astronaut Fullerton served on the support crews for the Apollo 14, 15, 16, and 17 lunar missions.
In 1977, Fullerton was assigned to one of the two two-man flight crews which piloted the Space Shuttle prototype Enterprise during the Approach and Landing Test Program at Dryden that same year.
Fullerton was the pilot on the eight-day STS-3 Space Shuttle orbital flight test mission Mar. 22-30, 1982. Launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Fla., the mission exposed the orbiter Columbia to extremes in thermal stress and tested the 50-foot Remote Manipulator System used to grapple and maneuver payloads in orbit. STS-3 landed at Northrup Strip, White Sands, N.Mex. because Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards AFB was wet due to heavy seasonal rains.
Fullerton was commander of the STS-51F Spacelab 2 mission, launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Fla., on July 29, 1985. This mission, with the orbiter Challenger, was the first pallet-only Spacelab mission and the first to operate the Spacelab Instrument Pointing System (IPS). It carried 13 major experiments in the fields of astronomy, solar physics, ionospheric science, life science, and a super fluid helium experiment. The mission ended August 6, 1985, with a landing at Dryden.
Among the special awards and honors Fullerton has received are the Iven C. Kincheloe Award from the Society of Experimental Test Pilots in 1978; Department of Defense Distinguished Service and Superior Service Medals; Air Force Distinguished Flying Cross; NASA Distinguished and Exceptional Service Medals; NASA Space Flight Medals in 1983 and 1985; General Thomas D. White Space Trophy; Haley Space Flight Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics; American Astronautical Society Flight Achievement Awards for 1977, 1981, and 1985; the Certificate of Achievement Award from the Soaring Society of America, and the Ray E. Tenhoff Award from the Society of Experimental Test Pilots in 1992 and 1993.

Prince NYC Will Host a Variety of Events and Activities Including the Unveiling of the Prince Tennis Fall 2013 Collection
August 20th, 2013, BORDENTOWN, NEW JERSEY – Prince Global Sports (), a leading manufacturer and distributor of performance racquet sports equipment, footwear and apparel, announced today that during the 2013 US Open they will open a brand experience space in New York City from August 23rd through September 1st, that will be located in the center of Midtown Manhattan's tennis activity.
Throughout the first week of the US Open, Prince will give tennis enthusiasts in and around New York the opportunity to be a part of the excitement surrounding America's slam. Prince NYC, located on the corner of Lexington Avenue and 47th Street, will be a hub of activity for the brand – featuring appearances from top Prince athletes, a viewing lounge for matches and limited edition merchandise for purchase. Prince will use this branded space to offer consumers and industry partners an exclusive look at the their new Fall 2013 product collections before they hit retailers in October.
"We have had great success with promotions at this year's Grand Slams, the Prince Paris Tour at the French Open and the opening of our first brand retail store, Prince SW19, at Wimbledon," remarked Mike Ballardie, CEO of Prince Global Sports. "It is important that we continue to capitalize on this momentum and the natural tennis 'fever' that hits New York City around the Open. Prince NYC will not only provide consumers with a unique experience but also an exclusive look at our exciting new collection for Fall 2013."
Furthering their commitment to enhancing the performance and enjoyment of tennis for all players, Prince will introduce performance racquets featuring the new ESP Spin technology and a new line of "classic" racquets at Prince NYC. Racquets with Extreme String Pattern ("ESP") Spin technology will deliver 30% more spin on the ball for players of all levels and will be available in Premier, Warrior and Tour Series racquets. The Classics Collection will bring back some of the brand's most popular and top selling racquets, including the Classic Graphite 107 and 100, Classic Graphite 100 Longbody and Classic Response 97. Two new bag collections will also be unveiled – an updated Tour Team Collection in three new colors and a line of retro style bags that will compliment the Classics racquet collection.
Prince NYC will also showcase three new colors of the #1 selling T22 shoe that will be available in October 2013. One of which will be a special edition model in a pink and white color to help spread awareness about breast cancer. Prince will be donating 10% of all sales of this model to the non-profit organization Bright Pink during the month of October.
"The partnership with Bright Pink is a perfect match for Prince, " said Chrissy Ott, Global Marketing Manager for Prince Global Sports.

kinit: Client not found in Kerberos database while getting initial credentials
Samvel Baghdasaryan <dassar <at> gmx.de>
Dear Heimdal Experts Could You please help me with the following question. I have installed heimdal 1.5 release on one of our servers ( to understand how one time password works ). Everything works perfect instead of one. When I am trying to do "kinit" it looks for the given user in our central database (instead of looking it up in his own DB) and shows the following error " kinit: Client not found in Kerberos database while getting initial credentials ". How can I correct this, to let it search in it's own database? The realms from the central server and from the server on which I am testing/working on are different. Thanks a lot Samuel P.S When Heimdal 1.5 is installed, how can I make one time password work.

Donn Matthew Garby
By Leslie Lalonde
It was a retired Army First Class mentor in high school ROTC that sparked Donn Garby's interest in honoring the sacrifices of our armed forces. Garby, a political science major at Flagler College, said the college has given him the opportunity to let his passion grow. "My mentor helped me through high school and I learned from hearing his stories and hardships from his time serving our country," Garby said.
So in the fall of 2014, Garby created a new club at Flagler: The United States Military Veterans Club. Since its beginning, Garby has spent $1,000 out of his own pocket to fund the club and various activities planned. "I have been supplying most of the funds for these events," Darby said, "but I want this club to grow so that when I graduate, veterans will still be honored here."
While Garby isn't a vet himself, his grandfather served in the U.S. military and he has a friend in the National Guard who he said is like a sister to him. "Veterans and military personnel are vital members of this society," he said. "I feel like citizens recognize this, but don't talk about it."
He has decided to do just that. This past Sept. 11, he held a ceremony on campus that included giant American flags unfurled from the Ponce's towers at the times the hijacked planes struck New York's World Trade Center towers. He intends to expand the event in 2015.
Garby had said the Peace Corps was where he used to see himself after college, but now his future has taken a different route. "The Peace Corps has sort of gone away," Garby noted. "I am more interested in local government or the (New York Police Department)."
Garby attributes his change in careers to the mixed messages portrayed in the media about police officers. "In the past year there has been a lot of media coverage involving police, almost showing them in a bad light," Garby said. Being a police officer will also allow Garby to be very influential within society, which aids in his desire to build relationships within his community.
Garby will graduate Flagler College after 3 years and plans to head straight to graduate school. "Rutgers is really where I want to go, so I am taking 19-21 credit hours per semester so I can save up for my next degree."
This year, aside from expanding all of the activities conducted last year, the Veterans Club will reach out to local organizations whose sole purpose deals with veteran's affairs. These include The Legion Post, Veteran of Foreign Wars, and our local congressman's Veteran's Affairs Department.

Yesterday, it was reported by The Spec and CBC Hamilton that the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board had rejected a proposal to locate their new $31 Million headquarters in the Cannon Knitting Mills, a brownfield property at Cannon and Mary Streets, adjacent to Beasley Park and Dr. Davey Public School. The proposal was forwarded by Councillors Brian McHattie and Jason Farr, in a last-ditch effort to convince the Board of Education to remain in the downtown core, rather than move to a new location near Lime Ridge Mall, on the current site of Crestwood School.
As I've stated in previous posts and videos, the Crestwood property is home to 7 acres of green space which would be turned into 480 parking spots by the board. Crestwood school, designed by Education Centre architect Joe Singer, would be demolished to make way for the new headquarters.
I believe the School Board and the City had an opportunity to do something truly remarkable- to leverage the significant public investment of building a new HWDSB headquarters to accomplish more than simply building a new building- to remediate a brownfield property adjacent to a park and one of it's own schools, and to restore a vacant heritage building.
The Cannon Knitting Mills, built in 1854, needs significant investment in order to clean up contamination on the property left over from industrial dyes that were used when the Knitting Mills was still in operation. With the investment that a $31 Million development represents, these contamination issues could have been addressed. All of these opportunities have been squandered by the HWDSB's vote to cut the process short by 3 weeks. (The task force charged with exploring downtown sites was originally intended to report back with its findings on June 18th.)
This is exactly how large public investments should be leveraged- achieving several community objectives with one development. Killing three birds with one stone. Maximizing public investment for optimal public good. Our need for a new board of education headquarters could have been married with our urgent development objectives.
Instead, the board will only achieve one objective: building themselves a new headquarters, easily accessible by the highway, conveniently located beside a mall. Rather than remediate a brownfield, they will pave over a greenfield. Rather than restore a heritage building, they will demolish another school. Rather than locate the board in an area populated by locally-owned businesses, they will locate the board in an area virtually dominated by corporate chains. Rather than help to redevelop a serially neglected urban neighbourhood, they'll build the headquarters in a residential neighbourhood, bringing hundreds of cars and trucks into that area on a daily basis.
Ward 7 Councillor Scott Duvall and the Bruleville neighbourhood surrounding Crestwood have expressed concerns about the traffic impacts of this development, but it seems the board continues to ignore those concerns. The concept for this development included very little in terms of public consultation.
As someone who has tried for quite some time to convince our public institutions to do everything they can to mitigate the environmental legacy of our industrial past, I find it particularly disappointing that the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board does not share those same objectives. I find it disappointing that they are not willing to work in good faith with other public institutions in order to make sure the capital investments we make deliver the highest return in benefit to the public. I find it frustrating that our Trustees, many of whom would describe themselves as progressives, do not seem to be motivated to support progressive development in Hamilton. They do not seem to think these broader city-building objectives ought to apply to their narrow institutional ego.
Let's review what has been decided: The HWDSB is treating neighbourhood schools like Coca-Cola bottling plants through consolidation and centralization. They've sentenced their downtown headquarters to needless demolition in order to pay for a new headquarters beside a corporate mall. They propose to fill a residential neighbourhood with unwanted surface parking and heavy traffic. They've rejected a proposal to revitalize a vacant brownfield property in our neglected urban core. They've voted to shutter 8 highschools and 3 public schools. They've ignored and dismissed public engagement that in any way runs contrary to these plans, or raises serious questions about how decisions are made.
Considering all of the above, it just doesn't feel like this board of trustees is on the same team as the majority of Hamiltonians who expect all public institutions to collaborate in good decision-making.
Building a better city seems to be someone else's responsibility.

The heaviest rain continue to push east of the Indianapolis metro area. But clouds and occasional drizzle will linger.
Maybe not the best of timing, but it's nice to see some healthy rainfall reports across the area. The combination of clouds and rain make for a much cooler afternoon…with temperatures likely to remain below 70 degrees.
Long range model guidance continues to support the notion of a potential powerful cold front/low pressure system to impact the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley Friday/Saturday. Stay tuned this week for updates with "possibility" of strong/severe storms heading into Saturday morning. Thanks for reading the blog – Sean Ash

Animal Control officers at the Humane Society of Cherokee County in Gaffney, S.C. found a six-year-old Boxer mix named Prince curled up next to her deceased human companion who had just lost a brave battle with cancer.
Prince has no idea why she feels such a profound loss as she sits behind a barred prison kennel in a noisy, unfamiliar place. Prince waits for her owner to return.
A volunteer writes:
"She responds well to the name Prince, loves human contact, walks well on a leash, and is not spayed. She has been around other animals (cats and dogs) but not recently."
And there you have it; an affectionate, well-behaved, and loyal dog now living in an overcrowded county shelter, and if Prince isn't placed by 8:00 a.m. on Monday morning, she will be euthanized because of the overcrowded conditions.
Follow Prince's Facebook thread by clicking here.
Nearly $150 has been pledged in donations for Prince's expenses and travel. All of her vetting needs have been sponsored.

I used Picasa for a few years until I gave up on it for the reasons you cite. Then I switched to FastStone and find it much more 'professional'. My wife still has Picasa and gets annoyed with its duplications.
Never had a problem with Picasa duplicating files when instructed to only look into "My Pictures" where downloads initially go. It seems the OP has a rather unique situation which is beyond my computer talent to be of help.
I have tried FastStone running it in tandem but finally gave up on it. Too much work for the small gain. The latest Picasa works well for the vast majority but it is 'Google' so I avoid all the silly add-ons.

You may want the authentication mechanisms provided by SSH, but not the data confidentiality. EG: you are copying already encrypted data between machines that have such low CPU power that encryption is a significant overhead. Even if you disagree, *it goes without saying* that you wouldn't use the "none" cipher where integrity/privacy matters. If you /were/ to keep this text, shouldn't 'should' be in caps?

If you are a fan of Bravo® Pet Foods, you need not worry, everything about Bravo is unchanged except for their logo. At the Global Pet Expo, the largest annual pet product trade show in the United States, the organization unveiled a series of image updates which includes a new logo, theme line and packaging and they want their dedicated customers to know all about it!
To date, the industry's reaction has been overwhelmingly positive and the heritage brand is working to convert all of their products to the new look as quickly as possible. You can get a glimpse of the brand's new image on their social media pages by clicking on the following links:
www.Facebook.com/BravoPetFoods | www.Twitter.com/BravoPetFoods | www.Pinterest.com/BravoPetFoods
"We want to reassure all of our customers that only our brand image has changed. The ingredients we use in our renowned diets and treats, and the commitment to pets' health and happiness, remain unchanged," comments Bette Schubert, Bravo Co-Founder.
The new look plus a few new exciting products will be available to pet supply stores across America this summer. For now you can be reassured that the Bravo products are still the same quality products designed by nature for your pet – just as Bravo states.
All of their raw pet foods and all-natural treats, bones and chews are produced so that your pet will receive superior nutrition. The products promote good health as well. Besides their typical ingredients, Bravo is mixing it up and adding freeze dried lobster and dry roasted duck feet to their product line. The organization has also created four new healthy choice Training Treats for your pet to enjoy while learning a thing or two.
As past fans are aware, Bravo wrote the book on raw diets for domesticated canines and felines. They tell in their book, Bravo! Beginnings for Dogs & Cats, all about the "why" and the "how" of feeding pets a raw diet. The book is not only educational for pet parents, it is educational as well.
If you have any doubts about the product, please read the following taken right from the Bravo website:
Bravo! Quality Assurance Program
It's not news to anyone that there have been product recalls over the past few years, both on the human side and the pet side of the food chain. Bravo! recognizes our reputation for making products that are safe to serve is critical.

Woman Prays Tornado Away with Power of God (Video)
In this following video, we hear what sounds like some black Pentecostal prayers being made by a woman. A tornado has come down from the skies above West Liberty, Kentucky.
Tornado 1 made a fast approach to the woman's house. She says something in a language unknown to the ears of common men, but only to God. In English, she then says, "Take it away, Lord, take it away." We then see that the tornado disappears.
The camera comes in to focus again for Tornado 2. Again, the woman does the same prayer and uses the power of faith to ward away tornadoes.
Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel through social media. Share this on Twitter and on Facebook.

Should You Get Health Insurance Through A Membership Organization?December 15th, 09
Everyone is seeking new and less expensive ways to get health insurance. The costs of having health insurance are often too taxing but the risks of not having health insurance are so potentially devastating that not having health insurance is inconceivable.
With all the health insurance options out there, there has to be one that is perfect for you. Membership organizations often offer health insurance. Should you get your health insurance through a membership organization?
Defining A Membership Organization
A membership organization is a collective of people that gives support in the form of resources and benefits to individuals all linked by some common element. One example of such a group is the Writers Guild of America. This group has the goal of supplying professional writers with resources and benefits.
One of the benefits that they offer is health insurance. The availability of health insurance from such organizations is tightly regulated so that only those who are appropriate members can join and take advantage of these benefits. Still, there are a great many organizations out there that provide benefits to those in the field with which they are associated.
Is Health Insurance Through A Membership Organization The Best Option?
As with so many insurance questions, the answer depends on the person asking the question. The easiest and arguably best way for most people to get health insurance is through an employer. The majority of employers offer health insurance to their employees that is attainable without a health exam. The employer also usually pays a portion of the premium, reducing the cost for the employee.
Many individuals, on the other hand, do not have employers. The number of self-employed individuals is growing and they do not have this option. Self-employed individuals either purchase health insurance directly from an insurance company or obtain health insurance through a membership organization.
Directly purchased health insurance will require physical exams and testing to determine if the individual will be approved for the policy. The premiums will be higher as well as there is no employer to contribute.
Instead of purchasing health insurance directly, consider insurance through a membership organization. Like insurance through an employer, the costs will be spread out over the group instead of falling squarely on the individual.
Lower premiums are possible when you become part of this type of health insurance plan just like with plans through an employer. Medical exams may be required and pre-existing conditions may or may not be covered but, in most cases, this is a better choice than an individual health insurance policy.
How Do You Choose A Membership Organization?
First, you need to find an organization that will accept you as a member. Second, you need to find out what kind of coverage the organizations that will accept you will provide. This leads to an inevitable part of the health insurance procurement process.
You have to shop around. There are no standard plans that all membership organizations offer so you could find a myriad of different policies. You just have to sort through them until you find one that will work well for you.
Health insurance through a membership organization is not for everyone but for many it is the best option available. Belonging to a group gives you more clout and allows the group to bear the burden instead of the individual. The self-employed do not have to be alone when it comes to health insurance.Tags: Healthcare reform in the United States, Social Issues, health insurance procurement process, Health Insurance, insurance questions, individual health insurance policy, Employee benefit, Writers Guild of America

AN OLYMPIC hopeful from Old Sodbury has finished second in the British Dressage Young Professional of the Year awards.
Beth Miller, 21, is a successful dressage rider and set up her own yard 18 months ago, specialising in training dressage horses and riders.
She was one of seven people aged under-25 who work professionally in dressage to reach the national finals at the Talland School of Equitation in Cirencester and is planning to use her £2000 bursary prize to complete her UKCC level three qualification.
Miller is also hoping it will act as a springboard to a successful career.
She said: "On the riding side, I would like to get to the Olympics. That is my ultimate aim.
"With the business, I want to carry on expanding it and hopefully it will become a top training and schooling yard in the country, producing top horses and riders."
Miller won the regional event at Olympian Carl Hester's yard in Gloucester, where she did a training session with her own horse, was interviewed about her business and asked for her five-year plan.
The format in the national final was similar, although Miller was assessed on her riding ability on two younger and two advanced horses by judges Richard Davison and Judy Harvey, and impressed, only losing out on the £4,000 first prize to Alex Hardwick.
She said: "I'm very pleased because I was one of the youngest there as well."
Miller has competed at many national events and also represented the British Young Riders team once, finishing second at the Byrds Home International for under-25 riders in Wales three years ago.
A horse lover her whole life, Miller got a job at Talland when she left school and went onto become the yard manager, in charge of 115 horses before going freelance and setting up Lone Oak Stables in November 2010.
She currently has eight horses at her yard, but can take up to 14, and rides Hawtins Sirica, a mare nicknamed Silky, which she is hoping to have a lot of future success with.
"I grew up with horses and had my first pony when I was two.
"At 14 I was given a coloured pony to ride which was particularly good and I got into the talent spotting finals.
"From then on I decided I'd like to do dressage so I bought a horse that got to national level and I got to the talent spotting finals with him and came fifth.
"I've now got a young mare competing at Elementary level, and hopefully she will go advanced this year and be my top horse for the future."

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and its attachments include the financial measures
Adjusted OIBDA and Free Cash Flow, both of which are defined as non-GAAP
financial measures by the
Adjusted OIBDA. We define Adjusted OIBDA as operating income before depreciation and amortization excluding the impact of restructuring costs, noncash equity-based compensation, gains and losses on all disposals of assets (including those recorded in costs of revenues) and noncash asset impairments and write-offs. We consider Adjusted OIBDA to be a useful metric for management and investors to evaluate and compare the ongoing operating performance of our business on a consistent basis across reporting periods, as it eliminates the effect of noncash items such as depreciation of tangible assets, amortization of intangible assets that were primarily recognized in business combinations, asset impairments and write-offs, as well as the effect of restructurings and gains and losses on asset sales, which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We exclude the impacts of equity-based compensation to allow us to be more closely aligned with the industry and analyst community. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our business or the current or future expected cash expenditures for restructuring costs. The Adjusted OIBDA measure also does not include equity-based compensation, which is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term compensation package. Moreover, the Adjusted OIBDA measures do not reflect gains and losses on asset sales or impairment charges and write-offs related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets which impact our operating performance. We evaluate the investments in such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budgets, investment spending levels and return on capital.
Free Cash Flow. We define Free Cash Flow as cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and product development costs and principal payments on capital leases. We consider Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the continuing business that, after capital expenditures and product development costs and principal payments on capital leases, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening the balance sheet. Analysis of Free Cash Flow also facilitates management's comparisons of our operating results to competitors' operating results. A limitation on the use of this metric is that Free Cash Flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in cash for the period because it excludes certain non-operating cash flows.

I know that zero shifting in the autocorrelation function is equal to its energy, yet, I would like to understand why the peak is at zero.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Are you looking for a formal proof or the intuition behind this? In the later case: "Nothing can be more similar to a function than itself". Autocorrelation at lag $\tau$ measures the similarity between a function $f$ and the same function shifted by $\tau$. Note that if $f$ is periodic, $f$ shifted by any integer multiple of $\tau$ and $f$ coincide, so the autocorrelation has a comb shape - with peaks at the integer multiples of the period with the same height as the central peak.
The autocorrelation function of an aperiodic discrete-time finite-energy signal is given by $$R_x[n] = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty}x[m]x[m-n]~~~~ \text{or}~~~ R_x[m] = \sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty}x[m](x[m-n])^*$$ for real signals and complex signals respectively. Restricting ourselves to real signals for ease of exposition, let us consider the summand $x[m]x[m-n]$. For fixed delay $n$ and a given $m$, $x[m]x[m-n]$ typically will have positive or negative value. If it so happens that for a particular delay $n$, $x[m]x[m-n]$ is nonnegative for all $m$, then all the terms in the sum will add up (no cancellation) and so $R_x[n]$ is guaranteed to have positive value. In fact, the sum will be largest if all the peaks in $x[m-n]$ line up with peaks in $x[m]$ and the valleys in $x[m-n]$ line up with the valleys in $x[m]$. For example, if $x$ is an over-sampled sinc function, say, $$x[m] = \begin{cases} \frac{\sin(0.1 \pi m)}{0.1 \pi m}, & m \neq 0,\\ 1, & m = 0\end{cases}$$ with peaks at $m = 0, \pm 25, \pm 45, \ldots$ and valleys at $\pm 15, \pm 35, \pm 55, \ldots$ $x(t)$, then $R_x[n]$ will have maxima at $n = 0, \pm 25, \pm 45, \ldots$ (and by the same token, will have minima at $n = \pm 15, \pm 35, \pm 55, \ldots$ when the peaks line up with valleys). The global maximum of $R_x[n]$ is obviously at delay $n = 0$ when the tallest peak in $x[m]$ and $x[m-n]$ coincide. Indeed, this conclusion applies not just to this sinc signal but to any signal. At lag $n = 0$, we have $$R_x[0] = \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty (x[m])^2$$ and we are guaranteed that not only are all the peaks and valleys lined up with each other (no matter where these occur in $x[m]$) but also that the highest peaks and deepest valleys are lined up appropriately.
When $x[m]$ is a periodic finite-power signal, the sums given above for $R_x[n]$diverge. In such cases, one uses the periodic autocorrelation function $$R_x[n] = \sum_{m=0}^{N-1} x[m](x[m-n])$$ where $N$ is the period of $x[m]$, that is, $x[m] = x[m-N]$ for all integers $m$. Note that $R_x[n]$ is a periodic function of $n$. Now, while it is true that $R_x[0] \geq |R_x[n]|$ for $1 < n < N$, the maximum value $R_x[0]$ also repeats periodically: $R_x[kN] = R_x[0]$ for all integers $k$. Note also that it is possible that $R_x[n] = -R_x[0]$ for some $n \in \{1, 2, \ldots, N-1\}$, typically at $n = N/2$ if $N$ is even, and so we can have valleys that are as deep as the tallest peaks in the periodic autocorrelation function.
$$ \left(x[n] - x[n+m] \right)^2 = x^2[n] + x^2[n+m] - 2x[n]x[n+m] $$
one can easily show that
$$\begin{align} R_x[m] & = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}x[n]x[n+m] \\ & = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}x^2[n] - \frac{1}{2} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\left(x[n] - x[n+m] \right)^2 \\ & = \ R_x[0] \quad \quad - \frac{1}{2} \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\left(x[n] - x[n+m] \right)^2 \\ \end{align}$$
the first term is simply $R_x[0]$ and the second term is a non-negative number being subtracted from the first. that means $R_x[m]$ cannot exceed $R_x[0]$ for any $m$.

Bursting at the Seams: A Noteworthy DC Addition
From Margaret Everton on April 7, 2010 in Washington DC
Homes are, at times, like clothes; no matter how big we buy them, there comes a time where theres just no more room to grow. Howard Glaser and Karen Hinton experienced these growing pains in their five-bedroom Great Falls Colonial home. But instead of buying a whole new outfit, they ripped out the seams and added a whopping 800 square feet. After bringing the talented Anthony Wilder Design/Build on board, they put in a second-story addition along with higher ceilings, a large, gorgeous window, extra-wide French doors and new lighting. The couple was already in love with their 150-year-old-reclaimed wood floors originally from a Georgia cotton mill, so they tracked down matching boards from Mountain Lumber Co. in Ruckersville, Virginia. The couple also added a cast iron Aga Four Oven Cooker in the kitchen, along with a radiant heating system that weighs an astounding 1,300 pounds. With the Colonial style still intact, this DC home now has more space to display all that charm.

Are Florida Community Association Managers subject to the FDCPA?
A lingering question for homeowners in community associations has been whether Community Association Managers (CAMs) are subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) in the collection of assessments. Can homeowners sue a CAM for violations of the FDCPA, a federal law that prohibits certain abusive practices by debt collectors collecting a consumer debt? Or, can homeowners sue a CAM for breach of fiduciary duty?
On December 19, 2012, the Eleventh Circuit rendered an opinion in Harris v. Liberty Community Management, Inc. that resolved the question as to whether CAMS are "debt collectors" subject to the FDCPA for the collection of association assessments and by implication, whether assessments are considered a debt under the Act. Previously, lower (district) federal courts in Florida were split on whether an assessment was considered a debt. The Middle and Southern District of Florida ruled that assessments were a debt, but the Northern District ruled they were not. If assessments were not a debt, neither association attorneys nor CAMs could be sued by homeowners for FDCPA violations.
Although Harris was a Georgia case and relied on Georgia law as to a fiduciary obligation, Florida Courts would likely follow the rationale of this decision. The Court implies but does not specifically address whether assessments are a consumer debt, but held that CAMs are not debt collectors for purposes of the FDCPA.
The FDCPA exempts persons collecting or attempting to collect a debt if the collection is incidental to a "bona fide fiduciary obligation." The Court explained that under Georgia law, a CAM has a fiduciary duty to the association. The Eleventh Circuit Court further held that a CAM's collection of assessment is incidental to its fiduciary duty to the association, and therefore a CAM would typically be exempt under the FDCPA. The Court cited a dictionary definition of "incidental" as "occurring as something casual or of secondary importance." A CAM typically does much more than collect assessments, since a CAM is contractually responsible to the Association for maintenance of the common areas, purchasing insurance, depositing money and writing checks and so on.
Similarly, in Florida, CAMs have many duties and collection of assessments is but one facet of their responsibilities. In addition, Florida courts have held that CAMs do not owe a fiduciary duty to homeowners as third party beneficiaries to the contract between the CAM and the Association. That was articulated in Greenacres v. Rao, a 2006 Second DCA opinion.
So what is the upshot for homeowners? Homeowners cannot sue CAMs for breach of fiduciary duty in Florida, and likely cannot claim that a CAM violated the FDCPA, either. The CAM's contract and fiduciary obligation is with the Association (the corporation) and not the members. Furthermore, a CAM's obligation to collect assessments is usually incidental to its many other duties. Homeowners may still have recourse against the Board (for breach of fiduciary duty), the Association for violation of covenants or even an association attorney for breach of the FDCPA.

What would be an example of a matrix that would not have a $LDL^T$ decomposition? This is a trivial case but I was thinking of a zero matrix which would result in L being an identity matrix and D would be a zero matrix. When you compute $LDL^T$ it still gives you the original zero matrix so I don't believe this is correct.
What about a singular matrix?

According to the Florida Times on Sunday, legendary actor James Garner was found at his home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles Saturday evening. According to police, an ambulance was dispatched to Garner's home at around 8 p.m. Garner was confirmed dead when paramedics arrived at his home. The cause of death was not immediately reported, but it is believed that Garner died of natural causes.
WDBJ also reported that just as he died at the end of "The Notebook," Garner has died in real life. Garner was an American film and television actor, one of the first Hollywood actors to excel in both media. He enjoyed multi-generational success on both the small and big screen. His television series spanned a career of more than five decades. These included his popular roles as Bret Maverick in the 1950s western-comedy series, "Maverick," and Jim Rockford in the 1970s detective drama, "The Rockford Files" where he did many of his own stunts.
The talented actor starred in more than fifty films, including "The Great Escape," Paddy Chayefsky's "The Americanization of Emily," "Grand Prix," Blake Edwards' "Victor Victoria," "Murphy's Romance," for which he received an Academy Award nomination, and "The Notebook" as recent as 2004.
Garner told once "People" magazine, "I'm a Spencer Tracy-type actor." According to Garner that simply meant being on time, knowing his words, hitting his marks and telling the truth. While some actors tried to look for the easy way out, Garner said his method was to put himself aside and do what the writer wrote. And that he did for many decades.
The legendary actor was also a longtime political activist. He helped organize the 1963 March on Washington and frequently donated to Democratic candidates and liberal causes.
Garner had one of Hollywood's longest-lasting marriages. He married Lois Clarke in 1956, after only a brief courtship. They were still married at the time of Garner's death, 58 years later. He is survived by his wife and their two daughters, Kim and Gigi.

March 7, 2014
DEKALB, Ill. –The Northern Illinois University softball team begins its nine-day spring break road trip this weekend when it travels to Wichita, Kansas to compete in the Shocker Softball Classic Saturday.
The Huskies (6-5) will play a pair of doubleheaders at the Shocker Softball Classic, opening play against San Diego State at 3:30 p.m. followed by UMKC at 6 p.m. NIU wraps up play in the tournament with a doubleheader Sunday facing off against North Dakota at 12:30 p.m. and Wichita State at 5:30 p.m. All time listed are Central.
The Shocker Softball Classic begins a string of nine games in nine days for the Huskies. A single game at UMKC and four games at the Jayhawk Invitational make up the rest of NIU's spring break trip. NIU head coach Christina Sutcliffe believes a week the softball field will help her young team improve.
"Having a full week where we can be out on the field is huge," Sutcliffe said. "It will be good to get the games in and get on some dirt for a week straight.
"Our defense has definitely improved from our first weekend, which we knew would happen because that was uncharacteristic of them. I think staying consistent in our run production is going to be huge for us."
The Huskies had their stay at the Evansville Invitational cut short last week due to the extended winter in the Midwest. NIU split its two games in Evansville with Rebecca Rupard (Normal, Ill./Normal West) leading the way for NIU in the pitcher's circle and batter's box.
Rupard picked up her first career victory in the Huskies' 4-3 victory over Northern Kentucky, allowing three runs while scattering seven hits and striking out three. She also went 3-for-3 with an RBI to help her own cause. She hit her first career home run, going 2-for-3 with a RBI and two runs scored against Evansville.

A man infects a teen with HIV after having a "relationship" with her -- and now he faces 95 years in prison. According to CBS News, Matthew Reese, 31, allegedly carried on a 7-month relationship with a 15-year-old girl. Reese plead guilty to the following charges: Aggravated sexual assault of a child with a deadly weapon, aggravated sexual assault with serious bodily injury, and sexual assault of a child.
Prosecutors believe that Reese knew that he was HIV positive before having sexual relations with the teen and infecting her. The plea deal that he agreed to will see him behind bars for 95 years -- 55 years, 20 years, and 20 years for each of the aforementioned charges respectively. Prosecutors are pushing for Reese to serve his time consecutively so that he will spend the rest of his life in jail.
The man infected the teen with HIV and may have infected even more people. According to Dallas News, there were at least three people that might have been infected with the disease thanks to Reese's neglect to tell them that he was infected. Three people testified against him in the case, all claiming to have had sexual relations with the man and having no idea that he had HIV.
According to the report:
"During the trial Reese's HIV was classified as a 'deadly weapon,' meaning that he must serve at least half of each sentence, 47 years in total, before he is up for parole."
The man who infected the teen with HIV was also seen having sex with an inmate while behind bars. The two were caught having sex in their bunk. Apparently Reese didn't tell the other inmate about having HIV either. The other inmate is set to testify at a later date.
Matthew Reese wasn't infecting people with HIV on purpose (that the public is aware of), but not telling others that he has HIV and proceeding to have unprotected sex with people is just as much of a crime.

Dec. 10, 2013
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The University of Alabama volleyball program had four named to the All-South Region Team by the American Volleyball Coaches Association on Tuesday. Head coach Ed Allen was named the South Region Coach of the Year and players Krystal Rivers, Sierra Wilson and Brittany Thomas were selected to the All-South Region first team.
In his third season leading the Crimson Tide, Allen has improved every season from his 11-20 overall record in 2011 to a 24-win season in 2013. Alabama finished fourth in the Southeastern Conference and claimed a spot in the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in school history, and first since the 2007 season. The 24 wins in 2013 match the school record, since becoming an NCAA program in 1989. Allen earned AVCA Midwest Coach of the Year honors back in 2010 while coaching at Tulsa, making this his second honor.
Allen coached three players to AVCA All-Region selections led by Rivers, who had a team-high 435 kills and finished sixth in the SEC with a 3.57 kills per set average. Rivers finished her redshirt freshman campaign with a .404 hitting percentage, as the middle blocker finished the season third in the SEC and 21st nationally. Rivers also ranked 96th in the country in kills per set and was 73rd nationally with 4.27 points per set.
The selection to the AVCA All-South Region team for Rivers marks the third post-season award of the year for the first-year player, after she was named to the All-SEC Team and the SEC All-Freshman team last week.
Wilson dished out 1,450 assists in 2013 for the third most assists in a single season in school history. Wilson averaged 12.08 assists per set, finishing second in the SEC and fifth in the country. She closed her sophomore campaign with 197 digs to average 1.97 digs per set and 37 blocks for a 0.31 blocks per set average. After two seasons with the Crimson Tide, Wilson has 2,743 career assists, ranking fifth all-time at the Capstone.
A six rotation player for the Tide in 2013, Thomas was the only player on the Alabama roster to play every point during the season. Thomas finished the year second in the team in both kills (404) and digs (297) and led the team with 35 service aces. Thomas ranked eighth in the SEC with a 3.31 kills per set average, while her 3.78 points per set were ninth in the conference and 164th nationally.
Rivers, Wilson and Thomas are the first players since 2004 to earn AVCA All-South Region honors, when Erin Heffner was a first team honoree.

My Sony NEX-3 (first model) does not have the Electronic First Curtain Shutter feature, so when I use it for Moon photos, the close, open/close, open cycle of the focal plane shutter always adds shake to my pictures, even for 3-in-a-row actuated after a self-timer countdown. Is there a recommended way with this camera to get the effect of an EFCS-type vibration-free start of an exposure? Moon photos with an f/16 scope are about 1/25sec, so the "hat trick" is hard to do reliably. I suspect that beanbags draped over the camera and telescope are the best option short of upgrading to the EFCS-equipped NEX-5 series.
Are you getting proper exposures at 1/25? I think your blur may be more from overexposure than motion. Is the blur uniform (as if it were out of focus), directional along one axis (as if you were panning), or multi-directional (as if you were shaking the camera)?
I am assuming you have the motor drive on the scope engaged, but it may be introducing more vibration than the sky motion it is eliminating for the short Tv you are using. Even at 1900mm and with your APS-C size sensor any Tv over 1/5 second or so should be acceptable without the motor drive engaged.
I normally shoot the moon @ ISO 200, f/8, and 1/125. And that is using an EF 70-200mm lens (plus 2X converter) with only a 77mm objective on an APS-C body. Keep in mind telescope and camera lens nomenclature are different. A 1900mm, f/15 telescope does not necessarily correspond to a 1900mm camera lens stopped down to f/16. In a telescope the f ratio has more to do with the scope's field of View while the aperture is the diameter of the objective. Your camera's view through the Meade 125-EX should be much brighter than mine through the EF-70-200. How much the T-mount adapter chokes out some of the light from the scope is an additional variable, though.

British Marxist and Islamist sympathizer George Galloway shows his Jew Hatred and cowardice. In an Oxford University debate about Israel, Galloway walked out after he discovered one of the participants was Israeli. He then revealed his racist colors.
George Galloway, a British lawmaker known for his anti-Israel positions and support of Hamas, caused a minor uproar at Oxford University when he abruptly left a debate after realizing his opponent is Israeli.
"I have been misled," said Galloway when Eylon Aslan-Levy, an Israeli student, confessed his nationality.
"I don't debate with Israelis," Galloway said, got up hurriedly, got his coat, and stormed out.
Upon leaving he reiterated: "I don't recognize Israel and I don't debate with Israelis."
George Galloway is a racist and a coward.
Syrian War Porn: Al-Qaeda bombs Syrian Party HQ.
A massive car bomb explosion in the Syrian capital, Damascus, has killed at least 53 people and injured another 200, reports say.
Syria blamed "terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda" for the blast, which hit a central district near the headquarters of Syria's ruling Baath Party.
TV pictures showed images of bodies, wrecked cars and shattered windows.
The violence comes as Russia and the Arab League say they want to broker direct government-opposition talks.
No group has yet admitted the attack.
The Syrian foreign ministry blamed the bombing on "armed terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda that receive financial and logistic help from abroad".
The militant Islamist al-Nusra Front previously said it had carried out many of the bombings that have rocked Syria since the uprising began in March 2011
In even better news, Syrian Rebels and al-Qaeda have launched attacks against Hizb'Allah both in Syria and Lebanon.
Syrian al-Qaeda (AL Nusra Front) Fighters.
Hizb'Allah mourns dead fighter from clash with al-Qaeda.
Syrian rebels have reportedly bombed two compounds operated by the Lebanese terror organization Hezbollah, the main Syrian opposition group announced Thursday.
The Free Syrian Army (FSA) claims its forces bombed Hezbollah facilities in Lebanon and Syria, a cross-border raid that indicates the rebels' desire to increase their attacks on allies of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Assad gave sanctuary to al-Qaeda during the Iraq War. Now they have turned their guns on his regime and their former allies Hizb'Allah. I am enjoying this conflict with a passion.

Employers Must Be Vigilant About Protecting Attorney-Client Privilege
Once a lawsuit has been filed, the general rule in California is that parties have extremely broad rights to gather information from the other side. This process, called discovery, is used to allow both sides the opportunity to prepare for trial and become familiar with the information the other side will use against them. Despite the board scope of discovery, some information need not be disclosed to the opponent, including information protected by the attorney-client privilege. Understanding the privilege – and how to protect it – is important for all employers.
The attorney-client privilege permits a party to refuse to disclose any matter, or to produce any writing, object or thing involving a communication between an attorney and client. The privilege is quite broad and extends to oral and written communications. The question the court will ask is whether the acts were intended (by the attorney and client) to be privileged communications. It is important to note that information does not automatically become privileged just because it is communicated to an attorney. There must be an intention that the communication be privileged and the communication must be in confidence between the attorney and the client.
Among the communications that the privilege protects from disclosure are correspondence, bills, ledgers, statements, and time records, which reveal the client's motive in seeking representation, litigation strategy, or services performed. Protected confidential information also includes legal opinion formed and advice given by attorneys in the course of the attorney-client relationship. California takes a broad approach, which applies the privilege to all such communications made by the lawyer, regardless of the content of the communications.
Unless it is waived, the attorney-client privilege remains in force. Under California law, the client is the holder of the privilege. That means that actions taken by a client can waive the privilege. The waiver can include the deliberate or unintentional disclosure of the privileged information to unrelated parties.
Employers are encouraged to seek legal advice regularly, including when making decisions, investigating complaints about harassment or discrimination, setting and reviewing policies, and analyzing employee classifications and independent contractor status. When obtaining legal advice, it is important that the employer maintain the confidentiality of the communications. Many clients take notes during conferences with counsel, and these notes should be protected as well. As with all legal advice, the notes should not be shared with anyone other than those individuals within the company who need to be involved and know the information. Privileged communications should not be shared with third parties without consulting counsel first. Because the client holds the privilege, disclosure to third parties can render the communication no longer privileged.
Employers often take some action upon the advice of their attorney and seek to justify their actions to employees or third parties by stating that they are acting on advice from counsel. Such statements arguably waive the attorney-client privilege, however, and should be avoided. Clients should not disclose the advice they receive from their attorneys without conferring with the attorney in advance.
The key to remember is that the attorney-client privilege is a valuable tool the employer holds in order to effectively obtain advice of counsel. In order to ensure that the privilege benefits the employer, protecting confidential information from disclosure to third parties is essential. Before disclosing any attorney-client communications, it is strongly recommended that counsel be consulted.
If you have any questions regarding the attorney-client privilege and how your company can better ensure that you are protecting privileged communications, we invite you to contact one of our attorneys:

The following article is from Melanie, our new staff writer. Melanie is in the beginning phase of her journey to Financial Freedom and she'll bring a refreshing point of view for us.
When it comes to living life and making money, I often think of myself as a hustler and willing to do whatever it takes to make an extra buck. After all, I do have massive student loans that I am currently working hard to pay off.
In my quest to be adventurous and hustle my way into financial freedom, I find myself pushing my boundaries and getting out of my comfort zone. I will apply for opportunities that I think I won't get or appear to be out of my reach. I will do things that scare me. I will work crazy gigs just for the experience and of course the extra cash.
Recently, I worked at an indescribable, you-really-had-to-be-there art installation. There were marching bands in silver latex clothing, miniature golf, and zombies, yes zombies! In addition to my full-time job, I was working on the weekends until 3 a.m. doing a variety of tasks at this event. It was fun, unique, and a good time.
Mental Barriers
As I continue to search for the Next Gig, I realize that I have some mental barriers to overcome, even now. These mental barriers are holding me back from reaching my full potential. Not only that, but they are preventing me from reaching my full income potential.
This reminds me of my mom, who for a very long time made an average salary, but catapulted her way into a higher income bracket simply by overcoming fear. For her that fear was driving on the freeway. I grew up in Los Angeles, where she currently lives — LA is ripe with opportunities but covers a vast territory. It's a driving culture at its very core. You are practically required to have a car if you live in Los Angeles. My mom had an irrational fear of driving the freeways so she always chose jobs close to home; always took surface streets and almost always avoided driving on the freeway. In 1999, she interviewed for a job that was an hour away — and there was simply no way to take side streets the whole way there. She pushed through her fear and made it happen. She eventually got the job and more than doubled her salary over the next few years. When she realized she was going to do that drive every day, she started to practice and get comfortable with the idea. To think she could have left so much money on the table just because of an irrational fear.
Fear of Failure
For me, my mental barrier is fear of failure. If I don't understand something in the first fifteen minutes, I think that it is too hard and that it's just "not for me." For years I didn't apply for jobs because of certain technical requirements. I was hesitant to start a blog because I had no clue how to manage a website. As irrational as it is, my mind just shut down if I didn't understand something. I wanted to move on and not even try.
I was like this until last year when applied for a job that I was perfect for, except I didn't have knowledge of or experience using the design software required for the job. I was about to employ my typical avoidance mechanism and just give up and not apply. But then I thought, well, why not? What's the worst that could happen? Considering the job posting said the technical software knowledge was required, I thought it was a long shot. Lo and behold, I ended up getting the job. In the interview I was very transparent about my current skill set and acknowledged that while I didn't have experience using the software required – I was passionate and demonstrated that I was more than ready to learn. Of course once hired, I had to prove myself and learn quickly. My employer was very open with me as well as patient, and thought that it was much better to teach skills, over character.
After this experience, I really started to think about how many missed opportunities I've had in my life because of fear. How much has this fear cost me?
I kick myself for all the income I could have made, but I'm determined to do better. I now recognize when I'm falling back into a pattern. Everyone has some form of insecurity and manifestation of fear — rational or not — that holds us back.
The next time you are self-sabotaging a good opportunity, think about the worst thing that could happen. Oftentimes, the worst thing that could happen isn't that serious and likely won't happen. Instead of focusing on fear, focus on what you could be missing if you didn't pursue this opportunity. Would you miss out on a significant amount of income? Friendships? Travel? Whatever the case may be, fear is powerful, but it's often irrational.
For me, keeping things in perspective is key. I try to look at the scenario from a variety of different aspects and try to push myself through it. There is something absolutely exhilarating from pushing your boundaries out of complacency and into new territory — and instead of missing out on opportunities, you'll be getting stronger with every chance you take.
It just requires practice and patience. Neither of those things are my strong suit either! But in my quest to live a debt-free, meaningful, and adventurous life, it means facing my fears and breaking up with that one thing that is holding me back.
