Short winter days can make it difficult to ride, but here are simple ground work exercises to help maintain your horse's fitness and mobility through the cold winter months.
This exercise activates the horse's spine and tips his pelvis into the correct position for work. You must ensure there's no pain here (signs include localised muscle twitching or hardness). Try this:
- Put the horse into a square halt, with his hocks in line with his bottom.
- Gently use your hands to accustom the horse to being touched under his belly, then hand groom the tummy and girth area.
- Aim to use a firm pressure under the abdomen to initiate the lift, watching the wither to see if it rises.
- Lift and release, or lift and hold for three to four seconds. If the horse moves off, reposition his feet. Repeat this three times.

While Sgt. David Haines and Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Haines do not necessarily compete against one another, the 24-year-old twin brothers often wrangle back and forth as if they are teenagers fighting for a Playstation controller. Whether they are trash talking about the others military branch or arguing about dates of events, the brothers playfully interact like adolescents still living together on a daily basis.
Growing up, the Haines brothers had different interests. Michael ran track, worked and even spent the better part of a year living in Italy with his sister. David spent his free time practicing the piano, playing in a jazz band and taking drama classes at the local college. However, the brothers have always remained close.
| More: Mom of two Marine daughters shares the experience of becoming a Marine mom |
The two graduated from Moscow Senior High School in Moscow, Idaho, during June 2006. After spending a few months out of school, David knew he wanted something different.
"I needed a change of pace," David said. "My brother-in-law was trying to talk me into the Navy, but the Navy didn't really interest me. The Marine recruiter was right next door and totally sold me."
During January 2007, David left Idaho to become a Marine, and his twin brother was thinking about doing the same.
"I always wanted to join," Michael said. "I had gotten married right out of high school. When we found out that my wife at the time was pregnant, I knew I needed to take care of my family, and I could finally do what I wanted."
For the past five years, Michael and David have shared two duty stations. However, they have not been stationed together at the same time. The brothers have both been assigned to units in Okinawa, Japan, and are both currently assigned to units at Camp Pendleton, Calif.
David, the Afghan National Army development chief, Afghan National Security Force Development, I Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), deployed from Camp Pendleton to Afghanistan during February 2012. His brother, who is a corpsman, checked into his current unit, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, during April 2012 and deployed to Afghanistan during the summer of 2012. This is the first time the bothers have deployed to a combat zone and the first time they have been together in five years, except for a few days during Christmas leave.
"It's pretty interesting," Michael said. "We always kept missing one another at our previous duty stations. It's pretty cool that we are here together though."
Although being deployed in the same area is nice for the brothers, David has found himself on the edge of his seat the past few months.
"I was really looking forward to (Michael) getting here, but to be honest it has made me a bit anxious," David said. "Being a part of the MEF and knowing about the kinetics in the area and seeing casualty reports, I was always making sure it wasn't my brother or his unit that was getting hit. It makes it a bit different tracking those things, especially having your twin brother out there."
Michael is wrapping up his approximate 90-day deployment and will be headed back to Camp Pendleton in the coming days. However, until he redeploys, the brothers look forward to spending some time together.
The two enjoy being a part of the U.S. Armed Forces, and both are thinking about pursuing an officer career in their respective branches. With 15 or more years remaining in the military, it may mean many long waits before uniting again, but the bothers will always remain close. The twins will take whatever opportunity they have to talk to one another, even if it is on the other side of the world in a combat zone.

Opinion 8.121 - Ethical Responsibility to Study and Prevent Error and Harm
In the context of health care, an error is an unintended act or omission, or a flawed system or plan, that harms or has the potential to harm a patient. Patient safety can be enhanced by studying the circumstances surrounding health care errors. This can best be achieved through a legally protected review process, which is essential for reducing health care errors and preventing patient harm.
(1) Because they are uniquely positioned to have a comprehensive view of the care patients receive, physicians must strive to ensure patient safety and should play a central role in identifying, reducing, and preventing health care errors. This responsibility exists even in the absence of a patient-physician relationship.
(2) Physicians should participate in the development of reporting mechanisms that emphasize education and systems change, thereby providing a substantive opportunity for all members of the health care team to learn. Specifically, physicians should work with other relevant health care professionals to:
(a) Establish and participate fully in an effective, confidential, and protected error-reporting mechanism
(b) Develop means for objective review and analysis of reports regarding errors, and to conduct appropriate investigations into the causes of harm to a patient
(c) Ensure that the investigation of causes of harm, and the review and study of error reports result in preventive measures that are conveyed to all relevant individuals
(d) Identify and promptly report impaired and/or incompetent colleagues so that rehabilitation, retraining or disciplinary action can occur in order to prevent harm to patients
(3) Physicians must offer professional and compassionate concern toward patients who have been harmed, regardless of whether the harm was caused by a health care error. An expression of concern need not be an admission of responsibility. When patient harm has been caused by an error, physicians should offer a general explanation regarding the nature of the error and the measures being taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Such communication is fundamental to the trust that underlies the patient-physician relationship, and may help reduce the risk of liability.
(4) Physicians have a responsibility to provide for continuity of care to patients who may have been harmed during the course of their health care. If, because of the harm suffered under the care of a physician, a patient loses trust in that physician, the obligation may best be fulfilled by facilitating the transfer of the patient to the care of another physician.
(5) Physicians should seek changes to the current legal system to ensure that all errors in health care can be safely and securely reported and studied as a learning experience for all participants in the health care system, without threat of discoverability, legal liability, or punitive action. (I, II, III, IV, VIII)

Examiner.com is proud to announce the first annual Beauty & Bow-Ties event for the Kansas City area. This event will feature local beauty and fashion talent but is not the typical show for this area!
This is a multi-cultural beauty trend show for both men and women that will also feature health and wellness representatives, merchants and food sampling.
The purpose of Beauty & Bow-Ties' semi-annual event is to provide a platform for local beauty and fashion talent to help evolve the paths of individuality in this industry!
This is so important to Kansas City because most Kansas Citians are unaware of the beaming talent that is nuzzled deep into the city making noise all over the country but unable to connect with a platform to showcase their talents for their own city.
This event will link the city and its talent at the elegant 28 Event Space, known for its fashion ties including last year's KC Fashion Week.
The show will include a full length runway segment featuring spring wear in traditional categories such as upscale business, career, special occasion, after 5, and ready-to-wear everyday collections for men and women.
However, there will also be a signature men's bow-tie line and custom blazers line (for men and women) featured in the show.
The 60 foot runway will be graced with impressive KC models who have been put together by a team of local hair, make-up, and clothing stylist with unsurpassed talent and charisma.
Stylists will be adding their own flare to their models making the runway segment full of inspiring, captivating and realistic head-to-toe looks that inform Beauty & Bow-Ties' guests on this spring's hottest trends for both men and women.
In addition to the runway segment, guests will get opportunities to try freebies, snag specials and get up close and personal with some of the city's most talented designers, stylist, aestheticians and boutiques.
The health and wellness section in the event will include opportunities to talk with chiropractors, an Invisalign dentist, and include health and wellness products like It Work's body wraps and Juice Plus nutritional products.
This is not your average show! It's not a hair show and it's not a fashion show but it includes all elements of beauty including clothing, hair, nails, cosmetics, and health and wellness for both men and women.
It is very upscale event and Beauty & Bow-Ties current guest list includes some very impressive names. Tickets start at $35 per person and include food sampling from (2) food caterers, (2) pastry chefs and cocktails from Sky Vodka and S.D. Strong Vodka.
There are also a limited number of VIP tickets available which accompanies access to a private lounge, preferred runway seating and an additional food caterer.
To purchase your ticket visit Eventbrite.com and for more information about this event please email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit their FaceBook page!

Football: Weekly Picks - Giants vs. Patriots
Plaxico Burress' total receptions - OVER 4½ (+105)If there was any doubt that Burress has replaced the injured Jeremy Shockey as Manning's security blanket, it was put to rest two weeks ago against the Packers, when the lanky receiver caught 11 passes for 151 yards. True, it was the first time in six games and just the third time in the last 12 games that Burress had at least five catches in a contest, but what you have to remember is that he played on a bum ankle for most of the season and missed a ton of practice time because of the injury. As anyone who follows the NFL knows, when receivers miss practice, they struggle to develop a consistent connection with their quarterback.
Well, with two weeks off, I have to believe Plaxico's ankle is as good as it has been all season, and all indications are he has been practicing full-time. Also, when you think about it, this play goes hand-in-hand with the play on Manning going over his completion total. If I'm correct about that, isn't it logical to conclude that a huge chunk of those pass attempts will go the way of Burress, who caught four for 84 in the first meeting against New England and is the Giants' biggest threat?
Jersey number of player to score first TD - OVER 43.5Most people who make multiple proposition bets on the Super Bowl usually gravitate toward guessing which specific player will score the first touchdown, which is lunacy because it's a total crapshoot. That's why I like this one so much. Unlike with the prop involving specific players, you've got a shot to win this, no matter which team scores the first TD. And it's not really a 50-50, flip-of-the-coin deal, either. See, by taking the "OVER" here, we get any player with a jersey number 44 or higher. That includes, for the Giants, RB Ahmad Bradshaw, WRs Amani Toomer and Domenik Hixon, and TE Kevin Boss. For the Patriots, we get WRs Randy Moss, Troy Brown, Wes Welker, TEs Ben Watson and Kyle Brady, and short-yardage RB Heath Evans. The only big names we lose on: The Giants' Burress (WR), Brandon Jacobs (RB) and Steve Smith (WR), and the Patriots' Laurence Maroney (RB), Kevin Faulk (RB), Dante Stallworth (WR) and Jabar Gafney (WR).
Not a bad tradeoff there!
I closed the year here in the column on an 11-6 run with my free picks. And I'm on a 47-38-1 roll with my NFL freebies on my free Daily Video report over the past two seasons combined.
Two years ago, I gave away the UNDER for free on my Daily Video Report when the Steelers and Seahawks met in the Super Bowl.
Last February, I gave away the UNDER for free when the Colts clashed with the Bears.
Get this year's Super Bowl OVER/UNDER winner on the Patriots-Giants Total for free on my Daily Video Report right now at BrandonLang.com.
No purchase necessary and no registration required, so don't miss my free plays each day on my Daily Video.

The Oracle Database 12c Utilities—comprising Oracle Data Pump and Oracle SQL*Loader—are a set of tools to allow fast and easy data transfer, maintenance, and database administration of Oracle databases.
Oracle Data Pump is a feature of Oracle Database 12c that enables very fast bulk data and metadata movement between Oracle databases. Oracle Data Pump provides new high-speed, parallel Export and Import utilities (expdp and impdp) as well as a Web-based Oracle Enterprise Manager interface.
What's New in Oracle Data Pump for Oracle Database 12c is the presentation delivered at Oracle OpenWorld 2013 in San Francisco. This presentation discusses several new features of Oracle Data Pump, including
Oracle Database 12c: Full Transportable Export/Import is a technical white paper describing the new full transportable export/import feature in Oracle Database 12c. This feature combines the ease of use from Data Pump with the speed of transportable tablespaces to make migrating and consolidating faster and easier than ever before.
SQL*Loader is a high-speed data loading utility that loads data from external files into tables in an Oracle database. SQL*Loader accepts input data in a variety of formats, can perform filtering, and can load data into multiple Oracle database tables during the same load session.
Express Mode Loading with SQL*Loader in Oracle Database 12c is a technical white paper that introduces a great new feature of SQL*Loader, available with Oracle Database 12c. Express mode in SQL*Loader greatly simplifies the work needed to load most data files. It tries to use the fastest mechanism possible for loading the data, and has optional parameters that allow users to customize the load.
SQL*Loader provides three methods for loading data: Conventional Path Load, Direct Path Load, and External Table Load.
A feature has been added to external tables that allows users to preprocess input data before it is sent to the access driver. The ability to manipulate input data with a preprocessor program results in additional loadable data formats, which greatly enhances the flexibility and processing power of external tables.
The types of preprocessor programs that can be used are versatile, ranging from system commands, user-generated binaries (for example, a C program), or user-supplied shell scripts. Because the user supplies the program to preprocess the data, it can be tailored to meet the user's specific needs. This means that the number of loadable formats is restricted only by the ability to manipulate the original data set.

My new all-leather sofa came in a few days ago. The inside fill is polyfoam. The cushions and armrest did not have any creases or wrinkles on it. However, after sitting on it a couple of times, creases are left on it. Shouldn't leather rebound after sitting? Can this be a quality issue from the leather?
I don't know if this is right place to ask this question but I am impressed by the advice given here so I hope some of you can share insight into this.

Waterford ghost hunts part of Saturday paranormal event
WATERFORD -- The Fort LeBoeuf Historical Society will welcome visitors interested in a different kind of history Saturday.
Ghost-hunting groups are invited to set up their cameras and digital thermometers for daylight hunts at the Judson House or Fort LeBoeuf Museum. Individual chill seekers can sign on for an overnight investigation of both facilities, plus the Eagle Hotel, led by TV ghost hunters Chip Coffey, of "Paranormal State" and "Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal;" and Brian Cano, of "Haunted Collector."
The hunts are part of Saturday's daylong Paranormal Super Con at the Hilton Garden Inn in Summit Township. Sponsored by LiveParanormal.com, the event also includes lectures, a gallery reading by Coffey, and a Friday night VIP reception with paranormal community celebrities at the Brewerie.
The cost for the ghost hunts only is $69 per person for the overnight hunt; $150 for the daylight hunts, for groups of up to six; plus, maybe, a few scares. The Fort LeBoeuf complex, once the site of three colonial forts, is said to be home to all kinds of supernatural stragglers.
"They're everywhere," said Judy Nelson, president of the Fort LeBoeuf Historical Society. "We hear a lot of stories."
Like the one of the man who appeared to a woman cleaning the Eagle Hotel kitchen one night after closing. Or the child who materialized to a group of Buffalo ghost hunters at the Judson House.
"Another group was in the house, where the (Fort LeBoeuf) model is displayed. When they went into the next room, a drawer flew open behind them in a file cabinet in the fort room. The drawer wasn't on a slant, and it was hard to open. There's no way it could have opened on its own," said Heidi LaDow, recording secretary for the historical society.
LaDow investigates with a local ghost hunting team. "Most paranormal investigators are history buffs. Activity often happens where there's been some significant history," she said.
The Fort LeBoeuf Historical Society will receive a portion of the ghost hunt ticket proceeds.
The Paranormal Super Con will draw enthusiasts from throughout the region, said Rob Szarek, of Cleveland, owner of LiveParanormal. "We're excited to be coming to Erie, and excited about the investigations in the Waterford historical complex," he said.
VALERIE MYERS can be reached at 878-1913 or by e-mail. Follow her on Twitter at twitter.com/ETNmyers.
Want To Go?
What: Paranormal Super Con
Where: Hilton Garden Inn, 2225 Downs Drive.
When: Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.; VIP entry, 10 a.m.
Admission: $25-$55, online through Wednesday; $30 general admission, at door.
Chip Coffey gallery reading: Additional $60.
Waterford ghost hunt: Fort LeBoeuf Museum or Judson House, 1 to 4 or 5 to 8 p.m., $150 per six-member team; Fort LeBoeuf Museum, Judson House and Eagle Hotel, 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., $69 per person.

The Georgia House Judiciary Committee decided Tuesday to scale down the Senate Bill 350 that would require the state Department of Human Services (DHS) to outsource some of their child welfare services through contracts with private providers.
The new proposal would introduce a two-year pilot program in just a few areas in Georgia, to make sure the transition can be closely monitored and doesn't put more children at risk.
In the first quarter of 2013, 55 children reported to the Georgia Division of Family and Children's Services (DFCS) have died.
The S.B. 350 included adoption, family preservation, independent living, emergency shelter, foster care, case management, and post-placement supervision as some of the services that would be privatized.
The Judiciary Committee Chairman Wendell Willard, R-Sandy Springs, introduced the substitute to S.B. 350.
"I'm concerned if we make a complete change without having an opportunity to do a full evaluation of it, we may be — as I've heard from Florida who went through this — creating the same potential problems in our own state," said Willard.

We know [artist id="1231768″]Kelly Clarkson[/artist] is a [movie id="414921″]"Twilight"[/movie] fan. The singer has even blogged about her love of the Stephenie Meyer novels, Edward Cullen and her anticipation for the "New Moon" movie to be released later this year.
So wouldn't Clarkson seem like a natural for the soundtrack to the "Twilight" sequel? That's exactly what Internet chatter has been saying about an unreleased Clarkson song called "Did You?," according to E! Online.
When MTV News contacted Clarkson's label, RCA, about the rumor, they wouldn't back it up. "We don't have any statement," a label rep said. "It's wishful thinking on behalf of the fans. Totally fan-driven campaign."
And sources close to Chris Weitz told E! that the director "has made no decisions regarding the music for the movie."
It's no wonder Weitz is taking his time with the selection, since the "New Moon" soundtrack has plenty to live up to: The soundtrack to "Twilight" has sold almost 2 million copies since its November release. One single from that disc, Paramore's "Decode," is up for the new Best Song From a Movie award at this year's MTV Movie Awards.
After the band's nomination was announced, singer Hayley Williams, who remains a loyal fan of the movie, told MTV News why she thinks Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson should win Best Kiss.
"There's something really captivating about real tension between characters, or between people in general, that is exciting and more moving than pure, simple love," Williams said. "It's really interesting to watch people that aren't really supposed to feel for each other make it happen, and I think it's pretty special."
Will the vampires grab more trophies than the slumdog? What was the year's ultimate onscreen WTF moment? It's up to you to decide the winners of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. Vote now, and tune in on May 31 at 9 p.m. ET, when the big show airs live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.
Check out everything we've got on "New Moon."

He's a semi finalist for the hall of fame and many have said "he's a lock".
Based on his work with the giants, and the patsies, maybe he belongs there. But his attitude with the jets, and his performance with the cowboys brings that down a couple of notches.
And his wankerish behavior here should just taint his legacy and flat out disqualify him!!!
But it's the "old boys" network and they can overlook that....dunderheads!! You talk tough about character counting, and about how maybe oj Simpson doesn't belong. And yet this guy is a lock.

Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. Let $f_n : X \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ be continuous for each $n \geq 1$. Assume that $|f_n(x)|\leq a_n$ and assume that the series $\sum_n a_n$ converges. Show that $F(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty f_n(x) $ defines a continuous function.
My attempt: Since $|f_n(x)|\leq a_n$ for all $n$ and since $\sum_n a_n$ converges, we know that $\sum f_n(x)$ converges.
What do I do from here?

When it comes to her own changes, there's one that Sedgwick can't seem to embrace: living apart from her children. "I'm still struggling with how to let go," she begins to say—and suddenly her eyes fill with tears, and her voice chokes. "It doesn't feel right on some level. It just feels wrong! My parenting motto has always been that they'll teach me, and I'm trying to remember that. Because I can't [accept it]. We don't have rituals for this sort of thing, and we should—I need to honor that it's hard and confusing." She laughs ruefully, wiping her eyes. "This is the Barbara Walters section of the interview."
She doesn't regret the time she spent shooting the series, which incorporated much of her children's adolescence. "It was hard for the family and great for the family. Great gifts came from it," she says. "I know I missed stuff, and I know some stuff will come up around that as the kids get older. But I also know that I can be really controlling and intense. Kevin is like this"—she moves her hand in a level line—"and I'm like this"—she swings her hand up and down. "Ultimately it's not a bad thing that I was not all up in their business every minute, micromanaging, which I really have to try not to do."
Though she might have felt like moping about her soon-to-be empty nest, Sedgwick, Bacon and the kids all decided to celebrate it by getting the same tattoo, their initials linked in a pattern that Bacon designed. (Sedgwick already had tattoos on her lower back and one ankle.) "It just means we still like each other," she says, laughing.
Of course, Sedgwick's fallow period doesn't look like most people's. In August she'll star opposite Jeffrey Dean Morgan in The Possession, a psychological horror movie directed by Denmark's Ole Bornedal that's based on true events. When she first got the call, she hesitated, thinking, A horror movie, really? "But Ole directed us away from clichés and encouraged us to go deep," she says. "It addresses the anxiety of not being able to protect the people you love, of wanting to absorb their pain and not being able to. And also broken families, divorced families, the impact that has on children. I know my mother struggled with that."
Sedgwick just did two days' work on Kill Your Darlings, a murder mystery involving the Beat poets (including Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsberg and Ben Foster as William Burroughs). She plays the mother of Lucien Carr (In Treatment's Dane DeHaan). "It's great to be around the young'uns," she says. "Daniel Radcliffe is too adorable. If I can do a couple of these, I'll stay sane while waiting for the next great thing."
She'd like to produce, find herself a comedy or an original play, take an improv class. She's also a vocal advocate for environmental sustainability and recently moderated a panel on plastic pollution at the U.N. "I can get inundated with a lot of really depressing information," she says. "But my goal is to be part of the solution. So I can get really depressed, or I can get into action.
"It's funny," she continues. "The advice I'd give my younger self is advice that I'm not taking today, which is, Stop worrying so much. I can get obsessive and obsessively worry about things. But things work out. They do. The older I get, the more I realize that I don't know everything. I'm less -judgmental—more accepting of other people and less frustrated by 'Why are they doing it that way? They should do it my way!' " She laughs. "I mean, I know it's hard to believe, but I could be wrong."
She's ready to go now, to whatever the next thing might be. "I really trust that there's a plan," she says. "I don't know what it is, but I'm on the road, and I'm OK with it. I trust that it's going to be OK."
Johanna Schneller profiled Julianna Margulies in the April issue of MORE.

Let $M$ be a (multiplicative) monoid with a topology $\tau$. I'd like some simple equivalent conditions for $(M,\tau)$ to be a topological monoid.
For example, a group $G$ with a topology is a topological group iff the "translations" $L_a:x\in G\mapsto ax\in G$ and $R_a:x\in G\mapsto xa\in G$ are continuous, the inversion $x\in G\mapsto x^{-1}\in G$ is continuous and the operation $(x,y)\in G\times G\mapsto xy\in G$ in continuous in the identities $(e,e)\in G\times G$.
In the case of monoids, if we assume that the translations are open mappings then the same arguments as in the case of groups can be used. But I think that this condition is way too strong. I don't want to use the inverse element also.

Brabo's second attempt to change rules fails
- Details
- Last Updated on Thursday, 15 November 2012 17:54
- Published on Wednesday, 20 June 2012 14:33
- Hits: 1623
Dahlgren Supervisor Ruby Brabo has made two attempts to change the 'Rules & Procedures' for the Board of Supervisors. She was stymied with the board split on her proposal with four members at the last meeting, and only John LoBuglio agreeing to amend the rules to include her proposed wording.
She proposed on May 15 and again at the last meeting on June 5 that wording be inserted as follows.
"Every Board member has rights equal to every other member of the Board."
And, "The County Administrator and County Staff to each Board member shall disseminate all original reports, documents and information at the same time. No Board member shall be provided the information in advance of other Board members. No Board member shall be allowed to direct changes to the data in advance of it being disseminated to all other Board members for review."
At neither meeting did Brabo explain her reasoning, or provide any instance of a perceived slight or unequal treatment toward her or any other board member by staff. She also did not say how the wording change would be implemented differently than under the current rules. Nor did she say what the penalty would be if she or another board member perceived an infraction by the county administrator or other staff.
Brabo instead alluded to unknown "events that have occurred."
Her prepared statement said, "Mr. Vice Chairman, at our May 15th meeting I requested that the board direct the County Attorney to review our by-laws and bring forward amendments at our next meeting. It appears that consensus was not given at our last meeting so I re-state my request. Due to events that have occurred, I once again ask that amendments to our by-laws be considered that state" – At that point she gave the wording as provided above.
Dale Sisson had a rare absence on May 15 due to a family schedule conflict. He presided at the last June meeting in the absence of Cedell Brooks, when Brabo made her statement again. After she made her statement, he enquired of board members, "On that point there, how did discussion go on the 15th?"
Joe Grzeika said, "We didn't do anything."
Sisson responded, "Okay. That would be my take on it. I think that's a slippery slope from some of those comments and I wouldn't support them. But I wanted to make sure that that wasn't just an omission."
Brabo stated, "I wasn't sure if it was an omission or not. Because the county attorney had made no comments and the chairman did not bring it back up. I would simply state that these amendments are already stated in other counties that surround us, in their bylaws. That is exactly where I drew them from. And I don't see the problem with simply asking that everyone be treated the same."
John LoBuglio said, "I completely agree with that - what Ms. Brabo just said."
Sisson responded, "Okay." To that, Brabo replied to Sisson, "You're saying you and Mr. Grzeika oppose." But Sisson stated for himself, "I don't see a need to pursue that, personally." Brabo said she disagreed firmly.
Grzeika pointed out, "We all adopted the rules of this board at our organizational meeting. I'd refer you back there." Brabo said, "Yes, sir, I've read them." Sisson pointed out they were voted on in January, with Brabo responding, "That is correct. At the time, I didn't feel there would be a need for such a thing."
LoBuglio sided with Brabo, stating, "I believe they can be amended."
Sisson agreed they could be amended, but noted there was no consensus to do so. He then steered the meeting back to the next item on the agenda.
It is likewise unclear whether Brabo will make a third attempt to change the bylaws by enlisting Brooks to provide the swing vote. That could happen at next week's meeting on June 26.
But Brabo may have already alienated Brooks by tweaking him with an untruth she told at the same meeting when she first suggested the rule change on May 15.
That was during a lively exchange about the order of the waiting list for unpaved roads in case any funding became available in the next year, during discussion of a proposed Six-Year plan for secondary road improvement.
Brabo one-upped Brooks by urging that Alden Road (Route 620) in his district be moved up the list.
Brabo falsely stated, "Mr. Brooks, I personally have heard from a number of the residents who live on Alden road. Ever since we first started these discussions they have repeatedly emailed me."
Brooks supported putting Alden Road higher on the list noting that it would cost a lot of money.
A few minutes later, Brooks said to Brabo, "We've been pushing for that for years." He also said, "And those same people who emailed you, you're telling me, we've been working for them for years, and they didn't say anything to me about it, so I guess you're their supervisor now."
However, Brabo could not produce any emails from residents on Alden Road because she never got any.
When Brabo finally admitted that last month in response to a Virginia Freedom of Information Act request for the cited emails, she wrote The Journal saying she "mispoke" and then added, "So, there are no e-mails regarding Alden road."
Brabo said she had a record of one phone call on the topic from Sherrie Allwine.
Misspoke has a couple of meanings. A modern meaning has overtaken the traditional meaning that can mean mispronounced, used the wrong words, had facts wrong or made a mistake.
The urban dictionary defines it as "A euphemism used when you have lied and get caught out."

text: KPMG: Five Most Common Cybersecurity Mistakes By Roy Maurer 5/9/2013 Permissions In a recent report, auditing giant KPMG identified the five most common mistakes managers make when trying to secure their organizations' IT networks against cybercriminals. The report asserts that company executives should exhibit leadership in cybersecurity with regard to allocating resources, governance and decision-making, as well as building an organizational culture in which everyone is aware of his or her responsibilities. "Cybersecurity is a challenge for the leadership of many organizations. This, however, cannot be an excuse to divest responsibility to the 'experts,' " said John Hermans, cybersecurity lead partner for KPMG. Leaving the protection of IT networks to a specialized department of experts is just one of the main mistakes KPMG highlighted in its report. The other most common mistakes are insisting on total security, relying on cyberdefense tools, trying to beat the attackers and aiming to just comply with cybersecurity regulations. Shooting for 100 Percent Security Every large well-known organization will have information stolen and, possibly, made public, KPMG said. Coming to the realization that 100 percent protection against cybercrime is neither a feasible nor an appropriate goal is an important step toward a more effective policy, the report said, because it allows executives to make choices about defending against attacks. A good defense is based on understanding organizational vulnerability, establishing mechanisms to detect an imminent or actual breach, and immediately confronting intruders to minimize loss, KPMG said. In practice, the emphasis is often skewed toward prevention. "Once you understand that perfect security is an illusion and that cybersecurity is 'business as usual,' however, you also understand immediately that more emphasis must be placed on response," the report explained. Feeling Safe Behind Technology Effective cybersecurity depends less on technology than leaders may think, KPMG said. The cybersecurity industry is rife with specialist suppliers that sell technical tools, some of which are essential for basic security, but, according to the report, "they are not the basis of a holistic and robust cybersecurity policy and strategy." A company's IT department should employ a robust cyber defense, but employees' awareness of how they can affect cybersecurity is critical. "The human factor is and remains, for both IT professionals and the end user, the weakest link in relation to security." Cyberdefense tools will be effective only if people understand how to keep their networks safe. One of the most persistent risks companies face is when hackers manipulate employees to gain access to systems. "This is often about changing the culture so that employees are alert to the risks and proactive in raising these with supervisors," KPMG said. Outgunning the Attackers An organization's cybersecurity policy should prioritize investment into understanding the value of information assets and the implication of any loss on the core business, rather than try to cover all risks, since it's impossible to cover all assets all the time, the report authors said. "In short, managers should be aware of the latest techniques but should not let this distract them from protecting their most important assets," KPMG said. Managers should ask: Do we know to whom we are attractive and why? Do we know what risks we are willing to take? Do we have insight into which systems store our key assets? Monitoring Compliance Effective cybersecurity policy and strategy should be based on continual learning and improvement, not solely on monitoring compliance, according to KPMG. The report suggested that organizations: Understand how threats evolve and how to anticipate them. This goes beyond monitoring infrastructure, the authors said. "It's about smart analysis of external and internal patterns in order to understand the reality of the threat and the short, medium and long-term risk implications." Evaluate incidents in a way that allows lessons to be learned. "In practice, actions are driven by real-time incidents and often are not recorded or evaluated. This destroys the ability of the organization to learn and put better security arrangements in place in the future." Use monitoring effectively. In many cases businesses have excellent monitoring capabilities, but the findings are not shared with the wider organization, the report said. And monitoring needs an intelligence component. Only if executives are certain of what they want to look out for does monitoring become an effective tool to detect attacks, the report said. Develop a method for assessing and reporting cyberthreats. This process should contain protocols to determine risk levels and escalations, and methods for communicating to the board of directors (if the company has one) about the impacts to the core business. Calling in the Experts Cybersecurity should be viewed as an attitude, instead of a department of specialist professionals, the report said. Putting the onus on one department may result in a false sense of security, according to KPMG, and foster a lack of responsibility in the rest of the company. The report suggested that businesses make cybersecurity part of HR policy and, in some cases, link it to compensation. "It also means that cybersecurity should have a central place when developing new IT systems, and not, as is often the case, be given attention only at the end of such projects." What to Do Next To determine your organization's risk profile, KPMG suggests asking the following questions: Which processes and/or systems represent the greatest assets from a cybersecurity perspective? How much risk are we willing to take in relation to these processes and/or systems? How dependent is the organization on services from partners and suppliers, and how integrated are the corresponding IT processes? Do our partners have the same risk appetite and cybersecurity measures as we do? Have we developed a clear business case for our cybersecurity investments? Depending on what kind of risk profile your organization develops, your cybersecurity budget should probably be 3 percent to 5 percent of your total IT budget, KPMG said. The report cautioned that a significant part of such a budget is often spent on implementing technological solutions and solving past problems. "Ensuring your funds are spent appropriately on future system solutions is only part of the answer, however. Without good governance, proper cybersecurity processes and, of course, the appropriate culture and behaviors, these technological solutions will not prove their money's worth."

"I was training for a (bleeping) triathlon, and I hurt my (bleeping bleeping) ankle!" ————#mayor_emanuel
The mayor limped into the press room and admitted he'd hurt his ankle on a training run. This puts his triathlon goal in doubt. He's an excellent swimmer, doing a mile every day, and a strong cyclist. Running is his weak suit. And doesn't that set you up to get hurt.
It's July, which is just about time for summer athletes to hurt themselves. The mayor's on schedule.
It also makes sense that he got hurt running. Both swimming and cycling are strong, steady sports, with little shock to the joints. But running you're pounding the pavement, full shock to your knees, ankles and feet. Land with your mechanics off, and you are out of the running.
So how would you train to not get hurt?
- Increase your mileage slowly, no more than 10% at a time. The strength you developed in one sport will not automatically translate to another. Give your body time to adapt.
- Strengthen your ankles. Ankles are particularly vulnerable in runners. Stronger muscles wrapped around the bones help keep those joints stable. To develop these muscles, place an exercise band around both feet. Now move your feet apart, putting tension on the band. Next work one foot at a time: pivot the foot outward, and repeat 10 times. Then do the other foot. Do 3-4 sets.
- Strengthen Your Hips – while you'd naturally focus on your feet and knees, your butt muscles keep your legs stable. Secure your exercise bands to a doorway or by a heavy table, then wrap the free end around your ankle. Steadily move your leg outward, inward and back. This exercise will work a number of the supportive muscles.
- Correct for any structural imbalances. If the bones in your feet, knee, hips and/or back are not moving properly, it throws off all your biomechanics. As your feet pound the pavement, shock waves travel up your legs and stress whatever's out of alignment. To get things back in alignment you may need to see a Chiropractor.
- Pay attention. It's easy to have your mind wander as you rack up the miles but you need to be mindful of your running surface. Gravel or dirt is fine; cement makes the shock waves worse. The mayor it seems to have done the damage on a sidewalk.
- Mental preparation. Your mental prep is as important as your physical prep. If you're training for a triathlon and running is your weak suit, do not focus on your flaws and how everyone will beat you. Instead, see yourself running easily, gaining endurance. Find things about the experience that pleases you and focus on that. It may be a sight you see, or the feel of your muscles contracting and a sense of power. Let your mental images propel your progress, not set you up for failure.
Training is work but it should also be enjoyable. There are good, safe ways to accomplish your goals. Keep your goals realistic and add incremental milestones along the way. You want that triathlon to be a triumph, not a hardship.

'It's Deja Vu All Over Again' for Oil Market
Today's plunge in oil prices may be giving traders a sense of déjà vu. If the current declines are a replay of other recent steep drops, one key question is whether they'll end up looking more like 2011 or 2008.
U.S. crude was down 3.7% recently, and the European benchmark Brent was not far behind at 3.4%, as one of the last pillars supporting the belief that demand could rise took a hit from the weak U.S. job report. U.S. prices, as measured by the cost of West Texas Intermediate crude, are now below $84 per barrel, about 24% below the peak for the year in February, and unless Brent bounces back, today would be it's first settle below $100 since October.
The strongest parallels for the moment appear to be with 2011. Prices spiked early this year because of Middle East tension — Iran's nuclear program — and then pulled back sharply as the world grew concerned about economic woes in Europe and the U.S. Last year, the early tension mostly came from other parts of the Middle East – Libya, initially – but otherwise it was a broadly similar script. From an April 2011 peak to an October 2011 trough, U.S. prices fell 34%.
That, of course, is nothing compared to 2008, when U.S. prices went from above $145 to below $34 in less than six months. Perhaps that's one source of solace for investors who fear the current crisis will resemble the earlier one – if oil feel as much in dollar terms this year as it did back then, it would cost negative $2.

Time is controlled by the Archetype known as Kala Bhairava.
Kala Bhairava (Kala means time) is the aspect of Shiva who controls time and draws
you to specific locations. By accessing the energy of Kala Bhairava, you completely
take charge of all the moments in your life and avoid delays, lethargy, poverty,
missed opportunities and unfortunate events. When you have Kala Bhairava`s grace,
you will find yourself in the right place, at the right time. Kala
Bhairava rituals are the secret to compressing time and accomplishing the task of
bringing your future into the present. Kala Bhairava will not only show you
the vision of what it is you want to create, but he will also give you the exact
knowledge and clarity of how to get it.
Eight (8) is a powerful and mysterious number. In astrology it rules: Time, Life,
Wealth and Saturn. Time is the critical factor that determines
your prosperity and growth. Each 8th Moon is different, this coming 8th moon on
May 21st has a special connection with Vishnu. This 8th Moon has the power to
clear karma blocking wealth that you are due, and it will resolve issues interfering
with your friendships. 8th Moon remedies will not only please the Archetype
Kala Bhairava, it will also please Vishnu, Lakshmi and Saturn. Do not miss the intervention
window available this coming Wednesday, May 21st. The protection and energy
of the 8th Moon and the Archetype Kala Bhairava provides you with the
vision and drive necessary to make intelligent use of time.
4th Waning Moons have a special
relationship with the Obstacle-Removing Archetype, Lord Ganesha. The 4th Moon
is a Moon of destruction and Ganesha uses this power of destruction to destroy obstacles.
On Sunday, May 18th, 2014, the Moon will be in Sagittarius, a sign ruled by Jupiter.
The Moon will also receive the aspect of Jupiter and Saturn. This is very good
for rituals performed on this day. This Moon will clear away obstacles interfering
with your career and profession.
On 4th Waning Moons, we sponsor a special Ganesha Coconut Smashing Ritual
that allows you to obtain Ganesha's grace. The coconut energetically absorbs lower
vibrations and when you smash the coconut, the negative energy holding you back
is also smashed. Plus by being performed on Ganesha's 4th Waning Moon, the obstacle
removing power is increased. This ritual is not to be underestimated: Breaking
108 Coconuts Changes Your Negative Destiny.
Vishnupati is the time we can connect with the preserver Archetype, Vishnu.
This coming Vishnupati is on Thursday, May 15th, and of all the fixed signs, Taurus
is the most material. This means that long lasting tangible wealth can be created
with proper rituals when Sun enters Taurus. The energy of Vishnu, the Archetype,
who sustains the universe, becomes highly charged and readily available. In addition,
Taurus is ruled by Venus whose overlord is Vishnu's wife Goddess Lakshmi, the
Goddess of Wealth and Abundance. Also the star on this day is Anuradha, a star ruled
by Lakshmi. This is all very good for wealth. This Vishnupati has the
energy to create a positive revolution in your life and bring an end to non-productive
lifestyles and habits. Do not miss Vishnupati because it is when Vishnu can
become directly involved and bless you with material wealth.
This Wednesday, May 14th, 2014 IST,
a Special Satyanarayana Wealth Pooja will be performed. The Archetypal
energy invoked for this powerful ritual will help in clearing the Karma that is
blocking your wealth. Satyanarayana, the chief deity of this Pooja, is an extremely
benevolent form of Lord Vishnu.
Venus being exalted in Pisces is almost over. Venus in
Pisces is a favorable time for you to focus on accumulating wealth, properties,
jewelry and creating relationships, especially with Mars in the opposite
sign of Virgo. This is a great combination for relationships. Venus and Mars are
the energies that drive male-female relationships and creates the need for materialistic
ambition and goals in life. Making this is an exemplary time to propitiate Venus
and Mars. Another significant opportunity to strengthen your connection
with Venus is that while Venus is exalted a beautiful Royal Venus Yoga (Malavya)
is activated.
On Thursday June 19th, 2014 at 8.00 AM IST, Jupiter
will move into the zodiac sign of Cancer. The Day and the Moon
are both ruled by Jupiter, as the Moon will be in Jupiter's star Purvabhadra. This
is a synergistic coincidence, so the day will be totally filled with amplified Jupiter
energy. Jupiter is the planet that brings in luck, money, reputation, the best
in any matter. Not only will Jupiter be exalted but so is Saturn. The
two outer planets being exalted together will create the powerful yoga: RESCUERS
FROM KALI YUGA (yuga means epoch). JUPITER and SATURN
are the planets that rescue people from sin and reveal the correct way to attain
wealth, prosperity and spiritual knowledge. No other planets can overcome the obstacles
and blockages of the Kali Yuga. This is a once in a lifetime event as the energy
of these planets will not repeat in our lifetime. This is, this Yuga's Yoga.
If Saturn decides to give wealth, other planets
cannot block it; such is the power of SATURN. Saturn is the
most powerful of all planets. He is matchless in giving good and bad fortunes. The
bad fortune created by Saturn is formidable, although educational. But the pain
that He brings with the changes can be reduced. Participate in the Rituals for
Saturn and receive His blessings to have a successful career.
Sasa Yoga is one of the important yogas caused by the planet Saturn.
It occurs when an exalted Saturn (or own sign) is in quadrant to
the Moon. Very few people will have a Sasa yoga in the birth chart; however, this
is an opportunity for you to access the energy of this yoga which is available four
times a month until November 2nd, 2014. The current Sasa Yoga is supported by
the aspect of Jupiter until June 19th, 2014. As per Astrology rules,
when there is a connection between Jupiter and Saturn there will be more job opportunities
also the labor market will see an upward movement. Overall the world economy should
see slow but steady improvement. This Sasa Yoga energy will not be available
for another 9 years.

On Mac OS X over time I get multiple instances of TextMate running. Is there any way to prevent this?
edit: i'm launching from the command line alias, and from the finder. yes, i only have one copy installed on the hard drive.
More Details:
Recreation: Textmate is open, I've launched it via clicking on a file in the finder. Then I run this script to open my hosts file with textmate:
#!/bin/bash `/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/MacOS/TextMate /etc/hosts`
After that I have two instances open. They both show up in task switcher, and they both show up in the dock. When I go to the dock and do "show in finder" they both point to TextMate.app in the applications folder. and, @romainl, yes, there are two instances in the activity monitor.
Is that script the culprit?

I have a cash ISA with Lloyds and have been thinking of moving it into a Lloyds share dealing ISA account. I already have a Selftrade and have decided to opt for a bit of variety. I thought I would opt for Lloyds as, in theory, it should be easy to transfer between one part of Lloyds and another (some hope.)
Problem is, have tried to visit their share dealing site this afternoon and I keep getting error messages that the site is down.
An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please try again later.
Has anyone ever used Lloyds for share dealing and, if so, what do you think?
Can't say I am impressed if the site is not accessible - anyone know if this is normal or are people just panic selling this afternoon?

Marcus Roberts: I Remember You (1991)
I Remember You
Marcus Roberts (piano)
As Serenity Approaches (Novus 01241 63130-2)
Marcus Roberts (piano).
Recorded: New Orleans or New York, 1991
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
There is something about a beautiful melody played with economy, empathy and respect that snaps me to attention more than any other sound in jazz. This Mercer/Schertzinger song saw its premiere in the Dorothy Lamour/Bob Eberly movie The Fleet's In (1942). Roberts's treatment borders on a playful reverence that neither showboats nor enshrines this classic. His use of space and harp-like embellishments make this sound improvised without overly altering the basic structure of the piece. It could bring a wistful tear to the eyes of some saps I know.

Raiders' Jordan believes in new coach, new start
By Anthony Carroll | Wednesday, August 15, 2007 | ( 42 )
|What's the buzz about?
Log In above and share your thoughts on this topic with other fans!
|Comments: 42
|I have seen Jordan perform at a good level 2 yrs ago. The extra motivation that Kiffin has induced will bring out the best in Jordan. If at that point he is not one of our top RB's great, if he is, great. Either way, the team is better for it. Sure would like to see what Bush can do.
|All anyone has to do is watch the Niners game from last season to see if Jordan deserves to make the final cut.
|I don't know if Lamont can be an elite back, yet he can be good. If he runs well and catches well, in this new offense, he can repeat his 2005 production. He might have fewer carries, unless he comes on strong, while Rhodes is out. If he does, he could retain his role as our main back. If he stumbles out of the gate, his playing time will be split amongst the other HBs. It would make sense to keep Micheal Bush on PUP through game 6. If the Raiders need him by then, they can bring him in gradually. Jordan has the early part of the season to prove he's the man. He can, yet, he's got more competition this time. The Raiders are much stronger at HB this year! The Return to Greatness Continues...

The determination of whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor is important to associations in at least three areas: (1) Federal income tax withholding, (2) Liability for the acts of the worker, and (3) Responsibility for job-related injuries to the worker. An incorrect determination of worker status may have serious financial consequences in one or more of these areas.
An association cannot make a worker into an independent contractor simply by placing such language in a contract. The law will not be bound by the relationship designated by the parties, but will look to all aspects of the relationship to determine whether the relationship is employer/employee or independent contractor. Generally speaking, courts will look to the following factors to determine whether the relationship is one of employer/employee or independent contractor:
1. Does the worker maintain a separate business with his or her own work facility and equipment?
2. Does the worker have a federal employer identification number?
3. Is payment for services made directly to a business?
4. Does the worker maintain one or more bank accounts in the name of a business?
5. Does the worker perform work for any other business or entity?
6. Was the worker hired as the result of a competitive bid?
7. Does the worker incur principal expenses related to the work?
8. Is the worker compensated on a "per job basis"?
9. Will the worker make a profit or loss depending upon how he or she manages the job?
10. Does the worker set his or her own hours?
11. Does the worker hire and pay his or her assistants?
The risks to an association in wrongly classifying a worker as an independent contractor can result in severe financial penalties.
If the IRS determines that the worker is an employee and the association failed to properly withhold income and payroll taxes, the association could be responsible for the payment of such taxes if the worker fails to pay them.
If the worker causes injury to another in the course of his or her work and is found to be an employee, the association may be subject to the payment of damages for the injury.
If the worker is injured on the job, the association's liability is materially different depending on whether the worker is deemed to be an employee or an independent contractor. Liability to an injured employee is governed by workers' compensation principles. If the worker is deemed to be an independent contractor, the association is not automatically liable for an on the job injury. The worker will have to prove negligence. However, if the association is found negligent in causing the injury, the limits on recovery in the workers' compensation act do not apply and the worker can recover all damages allowable in any tort case, including pain and suffering and even punitive damages, if justified by the facts.
Whether or not a worker is an employee or an independent contractor may have serious financial consequences to an association. It is a complex area of the law and the answer is highly dependent upon the facts of each situation. Whenever a question arises as to the status of a worker, an association should seek the advice of its legal counsel to assist in making the correct determination.
