C'mon. There's only one correct answer. This supposedly-open-ended question where we debate and have benevolent discourse has but one answer: Ramon Dominguez. He's a perpetual New York-leading-rider and his riding talents are only surpassed by how unassuming and downright nice this guy is. This guy might be the best jockey on the planet and he is the current rider of top Derby contenders Hansen and Alpha. Well, was the current rider. For as well all know, horse racing success hangs on the fever of a horse, a lip abscess, a bucked shin, and, in this case, one man's clavical.
Dominguez, 35, dislocated his collar bone, though didn't fracture it during a spill at Aqueduct. Still, now is no time for injury.
"I'm not in any pain and will follow up with my doctors tomorrow," Dominguez told the NYRA. "The X-rays showed no fractures and the doctors said I would not need surgery."
Then-regular rider of Animal Kingdom Robby Albarado, fresh off a dismaying domestic disturbance, gets kicked in the face by a horse a few days before the Kentucky Derby. He looked like a scarecrow. Next, he's taken off the mount by owner Barry Irwin and trainer Graham Motion and replaced by John R. Velazquez. Albarado wins a Grade 1 sprint aboard Sassy's Image on the Derby undercard proving he was capable of riding, but has to watch as his live horse Animal Kingdom crush, mash, and destroy the Derby field.
Okay, back to the present.
Now, Albarado's incident may have been the most concrete evidence there is to date that karma exists and it can look an awful lot like a hoof smashing your face. It also means that though your competent and able, a scarred body is a scarred body.
While in a static position, I don't see the harm in Dominguez's injury, but if he has to go to the whip, or let out more rein, any limited range of motion could be the difference between a horse winning a race and a jockey losing it.
And, at this level, the stakes are so high that changing a horse's bedding is room for concern. My feeling is Dominguez will get better for May 5, but will miss very relevant preps en route to Churchill Downs. My feeling is also that he'll be honored with whatever mount he wants.
But we don't own Hansen. We don't own Alpha. If it was your money, do you take him back? What do you do?

NEW YORK, NY – September 19, 2013 – The Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity at Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business will host a discussion on the legal and ethical issues surrounding the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Principle of Amateurism. Marc Edelman, Associate Professor of Law, who will be leading the discussion, specializes in sports law, antitrust, intellectual property, and gaming law and has written extensively on the need for legal reform to the NCAA.
In recent years, some members of The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which oversees the $11 billion college sports industry, have become increasingly wealthy, but NCAA's rules deprive membership from sharing their wealth with student athletes. This presentation will discuss the legitimacy of the NCAA "no pay" rules (from both a legal and ethical perspective), and the future of both the NCAA and its Principle of Amateurism.
WHAT: "Pay to Play: Legal and Ethical Issues Surrounding College Sports and the NCAA"
WHEN: 12:45 p.m. – 2:15 p.m., Tuesday, October 1, 2013
WHERE: Baruch College, Newman Conference Center, 151 E.25th Street (between Lexington and Third), Room 750
Complimentary pre-registration is required to attend this program. Complete the online registration form. For information, call Matthew Lepere at 646-312-3231 or e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com

CRESTVIEW � The City Council will try to jumpstart the Crestview Power Center, a 144-acre retail project on pause after the landowner demanded more than the $1.25 million impact fee relief the city had provided.
CRESTVIEW � The City Council will try to jumpstart the Crestview Power Center, a 144-acre retail project on pause after the landowner demanded more than the $1.25 million impact fee relief the city had provided.
At a special meeting Tuesday night, the council unanimously agreed to hold a June 4 workshop with all involved parties to try to resolve the impasse.
The proposed mall is part of an agreement between the city, landowner Beach Community Bank, and developers of the Redstone Commons residential development and Bishops Landing assisted living facility.
The partnership would fund a new sewer line and lift stations to replace an existing line that is at capacity, precluding any growth in the area north of Interstate 10.
The city turned to Beach Community Bank for easements on property it owns north and east of Lowe's to complete the project. The City Council approved the partnership in August 2011.
A 'deal killer'
As the project began last August, Beach Community Bank's engineer, Darrell Barnhill, sent Public Works director Wayne Steele an email stating the bank's $1.046 million city impact fees would be a "deal killer," according to Steele.
The fees, calculated by the bank, were nearly the same amount as the cost of Florida Department of Transportation-mandated improvements to State Road 85, Steele said.
In February, Beach Community Bank requested a waiver of $554,730 in city sewer utility impact fees. However, those fees could not legally be waived, Steele said.
"It is my opinion that Beach Community Bank or Mr. Barnhill is now using the easements as leverage because they overlooked the cost associated with D.O.T.-required improvements to Highway 85," Steele wrote in a report to the council.
"This is just my opinion, but I find it interesting that the D.O.T. requirements are almost the exact same amount as their water and sewer impact fee total."
Redstone Commons and Bishops Landings have met their obligations under the agreement and deserve city sewer and water services, Steele said.
If Beach Community Bank can't work out an agreement with the city, Steele said an alternative plan would be a $585,000 upgrade to another existing line using city-owned easements.
Making it work
Council members have sought ways around the impasse.
Mayor David Cadle and Fire Chief Joe Traylor said public safety impact fees could be reduced if the Power Center's fire suppression systems reduced the impact on Traylor's department.
"This is something the city has been looking for for years," Councilman Mickey Rytman said. "Over the long term, the tax base from retail sales is going to even out" losses in impact fees.
"I don't think any member of our council or any city representation is opposed to this project," Council President Robyn Helt said, adding that the current and previous city councils worked diligently to see the project through to fruition.
"I think the council's willingness to put a moratorium on traffic impact fees to the tune of more than $1 million shows our commitment to the project," Helt said.
Though his department has an alternative plan in case an agreement isn't reached, Steele said his recommendation is to work with the bank, obtain the needed easement and "move forward."
"We do want to find a happy medium for this easement," Beach Community Bank senior vice president Scott McCormick said.
Want to go?
The Crestview City Council will discuss the Crestview Power Center project during a June 4 workshop at 4 p.m. at City Hall.

Sorry for the delay, everyone.
Remember that reinforcements arrive next turn. If you are a reinforcement player, send in orders now.
Bavarian POWs
The POWs pick up the Artifax.
In response, the Britannians open fire, killing two Bavarians and one T.L.A. jump trooper who had the misfortune to be within the Steam Gatling's prodigious field of fire.
Von Klaus finishes his schnitzel and looks up to see his troops under attack. "Ach!" he says, "I should maybe help zem, ja?"
He reaches into his satchel and pulls out a silenced Luger.
In an impressive display of marksmanship, he kills both a cavalryman and the Steam Gunner.
Louisiana Jones and the Peach Nightmare move around the rock wall at the edge of the ruins.
The ranged Peach troops attack Captain Harris, shooting him out of his saddle.
The Bayou-Tek mecha kills the last cavalryman and his horse.
Rogue VoL
The Wyrm fires on the Britannian Landship, but misses.
The two Acolytes attack the last remaining tower gunner, but they miss as well.
Bjorn moves up to attack the Britannian ground troops...
... but he draws response fire from their Enervated Phlogiston Projector. Bjorn is wounded, and two VoL troops -- a flamer and a shock trooper -- are killed.
Bjorn charges the Britannian lines...
... and cuts down two troops, including the EPP gunner, with his OT beam saber.
The remaining shock trooper moves up, but stays behind cover.
Bob the Unbuilder glares at the hovering VoL transport up ahead, and comes to a decision.
"All right gang, we're going after that transport! RAMMING SPEED!"
"Boss, I don't think we can ram a --"
The Hover Killdozer accelerates towards the dropship, killing an unfortunate VoL who happened to get in the way of its dozer blade. Too late, Bob realizes that his vehicle will pass harmlessly underneath the transport, doing only minor damage. This is not acceptable.
Leaping into the air, he wedges himself in place with one chainsaw while sawing open the bay doors with the other.
Success! He climbs into the Wyrm's cabin.
The Hr-36 decelerates and swings over the field. Its gatling guns open fire on the Peaches but only succeed in wounding Louisiana Jones.
The jump troops attempt to secure the ruins by firing on the nearby Bavarians, but to no avail.
However, their Sergeant does manage to claim the unoccupied rocket launcher.
Britannian League
The one remaining soldier heads into the ruins to recover some of the Artifax. He exchanges fire with the Bavarian armed with the gyro pistol, but neither one hits.
The landship fires its rocket-torpedoes at the Bayou-Tek mecha.
Which explodes, scattering Bayou teknology across the landscape. One of the Bavarians is also caught in the blast.
Encouraged by their success, the landship's crew fires their Steam Gatling at the Wyrm dropship. As it crashes to the ground in a massive fireball the Landship's crew starts up a rousing cheer. "Huzzah! God save the Queen!"
A somewhat disgruntled Bob the Unbuilder emerges unharmed from the rear hatch.
The tower gunner strafes the field and kills the Bavarian with the gyro pistol.
Closeup on the ruins.

SEOUL - The Malaysian airliner apparently shot down over rebel-held eastern Ukraine was flying over airspace that a number of other Asian carriers had already abandoned months ago because of security concerns.
South Korea's two main airlines, Korean Air and Asiana, as well as Australia's Qantas and Taiwan's China Airlines said they had all re-routed flights from as early as the beginning of March when Russian troops moved into Crimea.
"We stopped flying over Ukraine because of safety concerns," Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyo-Min said.
Korean Air moved its flight paths 250 kilometres (160 miles) south of Ukraine from March 3 "due to the political unrest in the region", an official for the carrier told AFP.
A Qantas spokeswoman said its London to Dubai service used to fly over Ukraine, but the route was changed "several months ago", while Taiwan's China Airlines diverted its flights from April 3.
Quizzed as to why Malaysia Airlines had not taken similar precautions, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said international air authorities had deemed the flight path secure.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashes in Ukraine
'Safe' flight path?
"The aircraft's flight route was declared safe by the International Civil Aviation Organisation. And (the) International Air Transportation Association has stated that the airspace the aircraft was traversing was not subject to restrictions," he said.
Re-routing would have involved a longer flight-time and therefore higher fuel costs.
Singapore Airlines said in a statement that it had been using Ukrainian airspace but had "re-routed all our flights" to alternative corridors away from the region.
It was not immediately clear when the route change was put into affect.
Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific said it had not been using Ukrainian airspace "for quite some time" and Pakistan International Airlines said it had re-routed "some time ago." According to the European flight safety body Eurocontrol, the Ukrainian authorities declared the east of the country a no-fly zone shortly after the Malaysian airliner went down with 298 people on board.
European and US airlines re-routed their flights as Kiev said flight MH17 was shot down in a "terrorist" attack and a US official said intelligence analysts "strongly believe" it was downed by a surface-to-air missile.
Eurocontrol said the doomed plane was flying at a level known as "330", or approximately 10,000 metres or 33,000 feet, when it disappeared from radar screens.
The route itself had been closed to level "320" but was cleared for those flying at the Malaysian plane's altitude.

RV driver who crashed, knocked out power in Santa Cruz ID'd
A man who crashed his recreational vehicle into a major power pole and caused hundreds of homes in Santa Cruz to lose power was identified Tuesday.
Ben Creech, 64, of Santa Cruz, was behind the wheel of the RV when it hit the pole head-on at 4:30 a.m. Sunday, Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark said.
Creech was under the influence of Oxycontin and alcohol, Clark said. He was evaluated at a hospital and booked into the Santa Cruz County jail on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Residents who live on May Avenue near Water Street, and in a senior center on Market Street, woke up to discover that they had no electricity. It took PG&E crews two hours to restore power, and 10 more hours to fix the pole.

During the 1950's and 1960's, the Boston Celtics basketball team had an all-star point guard named Bob Cousy who was known for his extraordinary ball-handling ability. He was particularly famous for dribbling the basketball between his legs - a fete that required him to squat (usually, although he could do it on the run too) and spread his legs wide to get the ball through. His knickname was "The Cooz" - and around New England women who spread their legs far enough to see things they were taught to keep far from prying eyes were thought to be mimicking Bob Cousy's between-the-legs dribble, thus revealing the old "cooz."
Wow! Take a gander at the cooz on the broad sittin' over there on the couch!

A girl who is the perfect dick fit. The term comes from the word coozie, sn item that conveniently fits around a beer bottle. Therefore, a cooz is a girl who is convenient to bang, and seems to be made for your dick.
That girl is such a cooz; our genitalia fits together like macaroni and cheese.

Time is running short for Medicare Advantage customers who still need to sort through the smorgasbord of coverage options available for next year.
The annual open enrollment period ends Dec. 7 for these privately run versions of the government's Medicare program for seniors and the disabled. This window, which opened Oct. 15, is the only chance most beneficiaries have each year to find coverage or switch plans.
Medicare Advantage plans are subsidized by the government and run by insurers, and they can put a Baskin-Robbins ice cream store to shame when it comes to variety. A customer might have 30 or more choices to consider depending on where she lives. Some plans include add-ons, such as dental coverage or a gym membership, that do not come with regular Medicare or they don't charge premiums.
Benefits experts say there are several steps you can take to pluck the right plan from all those options. Here are five questions to consider.
1. Should I review my coverage even if I don't intend to switch plans?
Yes. Even though most Medicare participants don't change their coverage every year, they should at least look at the details because coverage terms can shift.
Make sure your primary doctor and key specialists like your cardiologist still accept the plan. Check that your prescription drugs are still covered, and double check the price you'll pay for them.
Pay attention, as well, to the premium, which is the monthly cost for coverage, and plan features like the deductible. That's the annual amount a patient pays out-of-pocket before most coverage starts. Changes to those items will be laid out in annual notices customers receive from their insurers.
2. I want a new plan, but the choices seem overwhelming. How do I start wading through them?
Write down the elements that are most important to you in a health plan, says Dr. Jan Berger, chief medical officer for Silverlink Communications, a health care communications company. That can help quickly pare a long list of possibilities.
If you like your doctor or care provider, you can rule out plans that do not include them in their coverage network. If you need prescription drug coverage, eliminate the plans that don't offer it.
For those plans that cover prescriptions, compare the prices you would have to pay for your current medications.
Also look at a plan's quality rating. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services uses a star system to rate plans annually. Those with one star represent poor quality, and those with five reflect performance deemed excellent. Five-star plans have a gold star icon affixed to their name in the CMS Plan Finder at www.medicare.gov .
If you pick a plan that has less than a three-star rating for at least the past three years, the government will send you a letter asking if you are certain about the choice.
"The letter will say something like, `Really?"' Berger says. "The era of pay for performance is here when it comes to Medicare."
Once you have a finalist, ask your doctor if his office has run into any coverage delays or problems with that plan, particularly for your prescriptions.
3. Some plans say they don't charge a monthly premium. Is that too good to be true?
It can be. Other costs tied to the plan are often higher in exchange for no premium or a small monthly payment.
Check the plan's annual deductible and co-insurance, which is the percentage a patient pays for a medical service after the deductible is met. Some plans also require a separate premium for drug coverage.
CMS officials have said the average monthly premium for Medicare Advantage plans will be $32.59 next year. But actual premiums can climb close to $100 a month.
4. What happens if I don't sign up by Dec. 7?
Medicare Advantage customers generally wait until the last few weeks of open enrollment to make their decision, but waiting too long might mean they miss a chance to land the plan they want.
Call centers that help individuals pick plans often get overwhelmed close to the enrollment deadline, says Ross Blair, CEO of PlanPrescriber, a subsidiary of the online insurance broker eHealthInsurance. He noted that it's often necessary to make more than one call to get enough information to make a decision.
Many coverage shoppers who miss the Dec. 7 deadline will have to wait until next year's open enrollment period to find a Medicare Advantage plan, but there are exceptions. For instance, some people who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, the state and federally funded program that covers the poor and disabled, can enroll any time during the year.
You can also enroll at any time in plans with five-star ratings. But only 15 Medicare Advantage plans -- 11 that come with prescription drug coverage and four without it -- attained that ranking for 2013. These plans are scattered around the country in California, Minnesota and Ohio, among other states.
5. None of this sounds appealing. What can you tell me about Medicare supplement policies?
Medicare supplement, or Medigap, policies may be an option for seniors who want to drop their Medicare Advantage policies for original Medicare, which covers care like hospital stays and doctor visits with the government paying the care provider directly.
Medigap policies are sold by insurers and generally cover deductibles and other costs not covered by original Medicare. Their coverage usually doesn't extend to extras like vision or dental care offered with some Medicare Advantage plans.
Premiums for Medigap policies usually are higher than those for Medicare Advantage plans, but they can lead to lower out-of-pocket costs.
Switching from Medicare Advantage to original Medicare with Medigap coverage can be tricky, with enrollment windows varying by state. Berger recommends applying for the new coverage and making sure you have it before canceling your old policy.

Las Vegas-based Affinity Gaming on Friday reported a continued slide in earnings across 11 properties last year.
Affinity's total revenue for the year fell to $390.5 million in 2013, according to the latest earnings report.
That is down $12.7 million, or 3.1 percent, from the $403.2 million in earnings reported in 2012. Fourth-quarter 2013 revenue was $90 million, down $7.7 million from the same period the prior year.
Affinity's five Nevada properties saw revenue decline 13 percent, to $52.1 million from $59.9 million, during the final three months of 2013.
Affinity operates the off-strip Silver Sevens, along with three Primm resorts and Rail City Casino in Sparks. The company also runs six casinos in Iowa, Missouri and Colorado.
The slip in Nevada was mostly attributed to declining visitation in Primm.
David Ross, Affinity's CEO, pointed to a stagnant economy and harsh winter weather with regard to its other properties, but said he is hopeful about 2014.
"We continued to be affected in the fourth quarter by soft economic conditions, as well as inclement weather in December," Ross said in a statement.
"We continue to focus on maximizing the profitability of our operations in 2014 while providing first-class service to our patrons. While the operating environment has been tough, we are well positioned in the markets in which we operate, and we remain the preferred entertainment choice of our loyal customers."
Ross said customers responded well to 2013 renovations at Affinity's properties in Colorado, but the company still saw revenue slip 25.2 percent there in the fourth quarter.
The woes were blamed on fall flooding and heavy snow in December.
Ross has announced that he plans to leave Affinity in July.
The company, founded in 2010 after the bankruptcy and reorganization of Herbst Gaming, is not publicly traded but has publicly owned debt.
Affinity expects $12.5 million to $13.5 million in earnings in the first quarter of 2014.

W-O-W. That's really all I can say to express how ridiculously behind the times I've discovered I am in my awareness of, and participation in the electronic genealogy community! I've had no idea that all of you were out here, especially those doing African-American research! Blogs, podcasts, conferences, EVERYTHING is happening on the web, and I didn't know! For the past ten+ years I've been just trudging along on my own, doing great research, but basically keeping it all to myself. I've spent hour upon hour in graveyards, courthouses, Register of Deeds offices, libraries, and even cemeteries, but never was I aware of the existence of so many forums in which I could share my work, my struggles, and/or my triumphs. I've experienced the ups and downs - the highs and lows of this "hobby" (lol) that we all have, but it's always just been a solitary experience, except for those few times that I've tried to share my excitement or my woes with a befuddled friend or a totally uninterested relative. (More on that, later.) Never did I dream that so many people were sharing my same experiences, or that there could actually be a "support group" of sorts out there for people like me. :)
Since joining genealogywise.com last week, which was the beginning of my awakening, my own research has been pretty much on hold, as I've spent the majority of my time perusing others' sites, exploring newfound resources (thanks to all of you), and conversing online with other researchers. I'll admit my guard is still up a bit -- I've been well-trained to keep my work to myself, for fear of another researcher "stealing it", or using it to his or her benefit. I guess now, I am the proverbial brick wall that needs to be broken down, but somehow I sense that all of you are going to take care of that. LOL... Thanks in advance.

All In The Family... Life In Missouri...
During our second residence in Missouri (1982-1986), Dennis and I owned a couple of VW Beetles. Our old yellow Beetle had formerly belonged to my mother-in-law. In fact, it was the car in which she learned to drive after all the kids grew up and left home.
It had an Autostick, a curious semi-automatic transmission. The gear shifter was on the floor in the usual place between driver and passenger. As I recall, the shifter had five possible positions, all in a straight line:
One thing you had to remember was to apply the parking brake when you left the driver's seat. The transmission didn't have a Park position, and the car would roll in any gear.
One afternoon, I came home from shopping with our friend Brent. I parked the yellow Bug in the driveway, and we got out. As we stood on the front step unlocking the door, I heard a crunch of gravel. The car was rolling. I had forgotten to set the brake.
Our driveway had only a slight incline -- until it curved around behind our house. Then the backyard took a definite downhill slant. So the car rolled slowly at first, but it picked up speed as I ran after it.
I caught up with the car as it left the driveway and started downhill across the lawn, and I finally got the door open as it went under the clothesline.
By the time I got inside the car enough to get my foot on the brake, it had crossed the alley and was headed for someone's back porch.
I backed the Bug out of the flower bed where it had finally stopped, drove out of the alley, parked again in the driveway and APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE!
Brent had been watching all of this with a mixture of awed amazement and amusement.
"Do that often?" he asked.

text: Milan proposes an attractive tax regime – interplay with existing Italian tax rules and some key points Global Tax Alert Share this 21 JUN 2017 By: Christian Montinari Antonio Tomassini In the international competition for investors and multinationals, Italy has emerged as a contender. Now the Metropolitan City of Milan has upped the ante, seeking to provide its own incentives to attract more investments into the city. The new proposals, working together with attractive rules that are already in place at the national level, are intended to make Italy in general, and Milan in particular, an attractive location for multinational groups seeking to relocate their head offices and holding companies. Proposal for Milan: top points The Metropolitan City of Milan has proposed measures that aim to attract new investments and encouraging companies to establish themselves in the city. Atto Camera 4456 (first signatory Maurizio Bernardo, president of the Finance Committee in the Italian Chamber of Deputies) introduces a set of new tax provisions to promote "growth of the national economy through the enhancement of investments and the establishment of enterprises in the Metropolitan City of Milan." Companies moving to Italy and establishing their headquarters in the Milan metropolitan area would benefit from: Reduction of regional tax on productive activities (IRAP) ‒ provided that beneficiaries hire at least 50 workers under permanent employment contracts Tax reduction at the level of employees with reference to some fringe benefits (children's school, household, insurance, journeys from and to the country of origin) A favorable interest restriction rule providing deductions for net interest expenses up to the higher amount of (i) 30 percent of the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) or(ii) €3 million (in accordance with the EU Directive 2016/1164 of 12 July 2016) Tax benefits for new real estate investments (registration, mortgage and property taxes applicable at fixed amount, provided that the investment includes the hiring of personnel) Withholding tax lowered to 1.2 percent on dividends paid to companies resident in non-EU countries exchanging tax information with Italy (this is an extension of the regime already applicable to EU countries) Free access to cooperative compliance regime and to advance tax ruling on new investments. Interplay with existing rules These proposed rules for Milan work in conjunction with other existing national rules that have been put in place to make Italy a competitive location. While these measures do not represent a comprehensive tax reform that would significantly reduce the effective tax rate of multinational groups, with their goal of making Italy a taxpayer-friendly environment, they do signify a reversal. The recently introduced provisions on legal certainty and stability of tax rules are of great significance, because such considerations are often as important for multinational groups as are low tax rates. More specifically, the cooperative compliance regime provides an opportunity for multinational groups to cooperate and "agree" with the tax authorities on applicable tax treatment, thus reducing their tax risks. The introduction of an international ruling system makes it possible to obtain preliminary opinions from the financial authority on a wide range of international tax matters, including transfer pricing and questions relating to permanent establishments. Nationally, Italy has already put in place additional taxpayer-friendly measures with respect to corporations, such as the patent box regime (providing tax benefits for certain income from intangible property), allowance for corporate equity (incentives for equity injections in the share capital of corporations), "hyper" and "super"-depreciation (iperammortamento and superammortamento) for qualifying research and development expenditure, the reduction of the overall corporate tax rate to 24 percent, and regulations concerning innovative startups and IRI (corporate tax rate on individual business income). These measures work together to attract multinationals to Italy. Finally, an additional set of provisions has been introduced to attract highly valuable "human capital"(including self-employed professionals) to Italy. These measures recognize that a large number of Italian enterprises are open to hire such new arrivals and that such individuals moving to Italy bring expertise and know-how which are needed by Italian companies, entities and cultural institutions. Three main streams of measures have been set forth to enhance Italian economic, scientific and technological development: (a) incentives for individuals moving their fiscal residence to Italy (eg, "new residents"; special visa for investors; the highly qualified workers' regime); (b) favorable measures for corporate welfare (that provide benefits both for corporations and employees); and (c) tax treatment of carried interest (to be considered in some cases as capital income). These rules are expected to be generally compatible with EU law, including the EU state aid rules. Find out more about these new development by contacting the authors.

When Directory Proxy Server starts up, it establishes connections with all the remote servers identified in its configuration. These connections are logged in the Directory Proxy Server access log, and are identified by the field s_conn=server-name:number. The server-name is defined in the Directory Proxy Server configuration and refers to a specific backend server. The number indicates how many connections there have been to this backend server, through the same port.
For example, in the following extract from the Directory Proxy Servers_conn=server-1:1 is the first connection to remote server server-1 through port 59100.
SERVER_OP - INFO - Created connection for BIND s_conn=server-1:1 client=22.214.171.124:59100
When this connection is established, the corresponding line in the Directory Server access log shows that the connection from Directory Proxy Server through port 59100 is identified with the connection ID conn=244.
conn=244 op=-1 msgId=-1 - fd=19 slot=19 LDAP connection from 188.8.131.52:59100 to 220.127.116.11
For the remainder of the life of this connection, server-1:1 in the Directory Proxy Server can be mapped to conn=24 in the Directory Server access log.
This kind of mapping between connections also requires that Directory Proxy Server and the backend Directory Server are synchronized.
Note that a connection from Directory Proxy Server to a backend Directory Server can remain alive for several days. If you rotate logs, either manually or automatically, it might therefore be necessary to access archived log files to trace the operations performed during a connection.

OBERHOF, Germany (Dec. 28) – World Champion Jessie Diggins (Afton, MN) issued a strong opening statement Saturday with a fifth-place finish at the women's Tour de Ski 3k prologue. Newcomer Sophie Caldwell (Peru, VT) finished ninth in her career-first Tour race while Norway's Marit Bjoergen took the victory. The Tour continues Sunday with men's and women's sprints instead of the usual distance races due to warm temperatures and very limited snow.

Jessie Diggins
Today was a great way to begin the Tour de Ski. I had good energy and fantastic Salomon boards thanks to our staff doing an incredible job, and it was so fun to see the rest of the team kick off the races well!
I'm not bummed out by the added skate sprint, that's for sure, as I like skate better than classic. So I'm excited for the upcoming races. The tour is a fun, extremely hard, exciting series, and I think the key is to put together as many solid performances as you can. No day needs to be an A-plus, but if you can have a lot of A-minus days in a row without building too much fatigue, the tour goes pretty well!
Sophie Caldwell
This is my first time starting the Tour de Ski and it's pretty rare that we get to race prologues, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The snow was really wet and dirty, but they salted some parts of the course beforehand so those parts hardened up a little. I think I executed my plan well because I felt great my first lap and even though I started to get tired my second lap, I held it together enough to have a strong finish.
I think it's a little funny that a prologue is considered a distance race since it's only 3k, but it's also definitely not a sprint. I've never been in the top 30 in a distance race and now I have one top 10 in a sprint and a prologue is somewhere in between the two, so I wasn't sure what my expectations were, but a ninth definitely exceeded them!
Chris Grover
It was a great start to the Tour de Ski for the cross country team today. The freestyle prologue has become one of our best events. Today's result for Jessie Diggins (fifth) ties her best individual World Cup result. Today's result for Sophie Caldwell (ninth) ties her best World Cup finish from Davos in the sprint two weeks ago and marks her first-ever World Cup distance race points. For Andy Newell, it was his fourth straight year taking points in this event in Oberhof. As a Team, we should build momentum over the next two stages, which include a skate sprint here in Oberhof on Sunday and another skate sprint in Lenzerheide, Switzerland on Tuesday. We are very excited to be entering the Tour with a handful of athletes that are fit, healthy, and excited to be racing despite some inclement weather and low-snow conditions here in Germany.

Document 'invoke', '/data/sessions' and everything that happens between workspace and /apps/...
By far the most annoying part is the time between having a working version on workspace and having the version installed in /apps/xyz and published. There are undocumented things going on behind the scenes that are impossible to figure out as an apps developer but are important. I'm especially talking about the different directories.
1dhetero is now the 3rd tool where I have gone through the publication process, after angel and qdot. Every tool has cost me 2-3 days of intense interaction with Steve Clark and a lot of nerves and frustation. Having 5 years of experience in Linux and C++, I do not consider myself completely unskilled in these things.
You absolutely need to provide documentation on: – what invoke is and how it works – what the role of /data/sessions is
Rappture is nice, but it's not the end of the story when putting something up on nanohub and you should not make people believe it is.

Latest: https://ultimahora.es/noticias/part-...var-cueva.html
Briefly, the cave was discovered when a Hotel was digging a hole to build a "pozo negro" (slurry pit) to dump underground fecal matter and other ordinary cleaning agents, soaps, and chemicals...
This was many years ago, and above this famous EU protected cave a whole town has been built, all dumping untreated sewage underground.
Generally, if there is a large distance between the underground aquifer and the "pozo negro" the slurry is filtered by the ground and the aquifer is not contaminated, but if water travels direct to the aquifer through passages in the ground or the distance is low, filtration does not happen and the underground water is contaminated, contaminating the cave system.
In Cova Genovesa where a sewage pipe discharges directly into the cave water the few who dared go there (i.e. in an attempt to illegally block the illegal pipe contaminating the aquifer...) have reported a population of albino eels with no eyes living and feeding under the sewage pipe (nature's way to compensate and correct the problem).
So, long story short, there is a whole town dumping sewage underground onto Cova de Pas de Vallgornera.
The political "solution" recently published as per provided link is to get a technical opinion to state that building a sewage collection system and sewage treatment plant is non-viable as it would cause more problems than it solves (bull-####!), and that each property would have to build a certified septic tank (sealed so nothing is leaked to the environment) and this of course emptied regularly by certified trucks and s. and chemicals dumped legally in certified sewage treatment plants (see the movie http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2782462745/ ... and the reality is that the illegal mafia will dump it anywhere and the legal mafia of the "Friends and Family" of the local politicians will get lucrative contracts for all that which is involved from the installation of the septic tanks and then their ongoing maintenance and servicing...).
No doubt the Balearic Government will apply for further EU grants to "protect" Cova de Pas de Vallgornera (MY Money, OUR Money).
Cova de Pas de Vallgornera is not accessible to bona fide independent investigators and speleologist and the Balearic authorities continue to issue Licenses for access only to local interests who in the past have exploited commercially Cova de Pas de Vallgornera (including receiving lucrative below radar "contratos menores" and redirecting public money in non-transparent ways to third-parties, giving rise in my personal opinion to money laundering red flags and suspicions) and were aware of the sewage contamination, but conveniently kept their mouth shut, at least until recently when some Licenses and "contratos menores" were stopped (after investigation by Guardia Civil of the Ministry of the Interior).
Just a Mallorquin version of Gomorrah.
It will be an interesting real life movie to follow.

Every year Accenture publishes the well-known Technology Vision report—and just as the report provides a richly detailed view from which business leaders in every industry can draw insight and inspiration about where digital technologies can take their organizations—this Accenture-Oracle summary points to the many practical ways in which those leaders can act now to realize their digital aspirations.
We pose a number of "must-ask" questions for IT executives that cut to the essence of leveraging the powers of technology to stay competitive.
If you're running a global business, the next few years will determine your place in the digital world. The first-movers are already capitalizing on new technology in ways that promise to upend expectations of industry and consumers.
These fast-moving technology frontiers include the digital-physical "blur," the push for architected resilience and unlocking the data beast within.
As intelligence moves to the "edge," digital blurs with physical
You've heard of the "Internet of Things?" It's here. The wave of intelligent interfaces allows more and more decisions to be made on the "edge," or the point where digital and physical worlds converge.
Tapping the workforce you never knew you had
Imagine a "dream team" workforce—one that can deftly handle virtually every task you need done and comes without the challenges of the traditional employer-employee arrangement.
Unlocking value from the data supply chain
Businesses are swimming in data-more than they know what to do with. To truly unlock value, data must be treated more as a supply chain, putting it into circulation and enabling it to flow easily through the entire organization.
Hardware matters again (a lot)
After at least a decade out of the spotlight, hardware has re-emerged as a hotbed of new development as demand soars for bigger, faster lower-cost data centers. In fact, hardware is becoming a crucial consideration as businesses go digital.
Business software that's more like apps
Android phone users have access to more than 1.1 million apps—more than 900,000 of them free and nearly 60,000 of those categorized for "business." Imagine the possibilities if enterprises had comparable access to such low-cost, easily deployed applications. There is real movement in that direction. The way businesses build software is changing, mimicking the consumer world.
Resilience is about having no downtime
Downtime in data centers costs 41 percent more than it did just four years ago. That alone ought to stop most IT leaders in their tracks.
Accenture and Oracle see eye to eye on how to help accelerate the digital directions of the biggest companies.
It's not important whether that alignment is best demonstrated by the Accenture Foundation Platform for Oracle, or by Accenture's embrace of pre-engineered solutions such as Oracle Big Data Appliance, or by the cutting-edge work of the Accenture Analytics Innovation Center. What really matters is that both partners share a vision of a digital future that is broader still than that glimpsed by the new breed of corporate digerati.
We offer one of the strongest alliances in the IT services sector, having delivered Oracle-based solutions in almost every industry for more than 23 years.
With deep insights, proven experience, industrialized delivery capabilities and more than 52,000 Oracle-skilled professionals around the globe, we are uniquely qualified to provide strategy, implementation, upgrade, and application-outsourcing solutions across the entire Oracle suite.

Celtic were presented with their Scottish League title after a 4-0 win over St. Johnstone on Saturday when manager Neil Lennon couldn't resist a pop at Rangers.
The Celtic boss has blasted those who claimed the Scottish Premier Division was devalued by the absence of his team's Glasgow rivals due to their financial meltdown.
"We have proved we are not a flash in the pan team. I know there will be a lot of people out there saying there is no Rangers, it is a one-horse race and in essence there is something to that," Lennon said.
"We are not going to hide away from that but we have a job to do. We have a responsibility to keep winning trophies. It is part of the DNA of the club and to do it in a certain way.
"Since the turn of the year the home form has been as good as I've seen in my time here. We know we need to tidy up away from home but the league is won now and we can focus on finishing the season with a cup final."
Linked with the Everton and Leicester jobs in recent days, Lennon laughed off calls from fans for 10 titles in a row.
"It is a long way off. The next target is the third. We will take it step by step for that. You can never take football or these achievements for granted," he said.
"There is a lot of work goes into it, so 10 in a row is a long, long way off. Eventually Rangers will come back and they will put in a challenge over the next few years, I would imagine."
Lennon now has to settle on his team for the Scottish Cup final meeting with Pat Fenlon's Hibs on Sunday, May 26, and admits it is going to be a difficult task.
"Everyone is more or less fit now, which is great. We have a team in mind obviously, but we have Dundee United this weekend and I want to go strong for that game and keep the players ticking over," Lennon said.
"I don't want to rest players any more. They have had a break and I want performances like the one against St. Johnstone that until the end of the season."
Captain Scott Brown and youngster James Forrest earned special praise for their performance in the 4-0 win against the Saints thanks to goals form Joe Ledley, Charlie Mulgrew, James Forrest, and an own goal from Saints defender Frazer Wright.
"I just think James is a fantastic player when he plays like that. He gives us such an extra dimension. He can play in any position across the pitch and play it so well," said Lennon.
"He gets that five-yard burst away from players but his close control is fantastic. It was another exceptional performance from him.
"Scott is amazing really. He was very rusty in training but his touch was good today, he was full of running and drive and you could see Forrest, Anthony Stokes and Ledley all feeding off him. Any team would miss a player like him.
"But the way the team played was the most pleasing thing. We put a strong team out as preparation for the cup final and I thought there was a flow to us, there was an energy. These are days you want to cherish."
Fit again Brown is now relishing a clash with his old club Hibs in the Scottish Cup final.
"I thought I was going to be out for the rest of the season. It has been a nightmare. I am not the best spectator in the world," Brown said.
"But as everything has been going so well recently I joined in with the lads last week in training. I didn't know I was going to start. I am a good couple of weeks ahead of schedule.
"It meant a lot for the gaffer to give me 60 minutes and I am feeling good for it. It was a great occasion and it is always special lifting the trophy."
Brown also appealed to Lennon to stay with the Celts despite interest from England.
The Celtic captain added, "Of course we want him to stay. He has been great for me. The gaffer loves the club and he enjoys coming in every day and he shows his enthusiasm at the side of the pitch."
Meanwhile, Celtic striker Georgios Samaras has said he has no intention of leaving Parkhead any time soon.
"I have one more year of my contract and hopefully I will be here next season. Six years is a lot but it has gone in so fast and when you feel good at the club, people are looking after you and you feel you are part of a big family, I cannot see a reason to leave," Samaras said.

Clear Counter Clutter: 10 Inspiring Appliance Garages
Coffee makers, mixers, toasters — they can be quite lovely appliances, but in addition to everything else on your counter, they take up a lot of physical and visual space. An appliance garage can store these everyday appliances, without them having to be moved each time you want to use them. An appliance garage can fit seamlessly into your kitchen design through a flip-up hatch or bi-parting cabinet doors, and even double as a coffee bar or even a wine station. Here are a few of our favorite examples.

Death Note - Overall Series Impressions & Total Series Rating
This thread is to be used for discussing the entire 37 episodes of Death Note ... your thoughts about the show, overall impressions etc.
A few subjects you might want to ramble on about:
The poll represents your total series rating. In other words, how you would rate all the episodes combined (1-10)? If you'd rather rate the whole series by technical/artistic merits, you can do so. An example:
Animation Quality: 1-10
Voice Actors: 1-10
Script: 1-10
Adaptation from Manga: 1-10
Editing: 1-10
Average = Total Series Rating
Or a combination of the two. Or your general gut feeling.

Everything was made just the way it should be.

Harmlessly Eccentric
10/10 = 100%
It'll be my number 1 favourite anime/manga (heck tv/series/show) of all time - I'm pretty sure!
I remember when I first heard of it, (I read the back of the manga at the book shop.) Immediately I thought "now this is my kind of story." I often question such moral/ethic values. I write stories so I often include such questions and symbolism.
From the storyline, the questions of morality, the characters and their quirks.
Right down to (for the anime,) the animation, the art, the music and the VA's.
I loved each character, which is quite rare – to love them all. That meant that when Death Note was coming to the end – I didn't really want anyone to die
Manga vrs Anime
Although I prefer watching to reading… I did like how the anime condensed the second arc – to me in the manga there was almost too-much information that really wasn't necessarily needed.
One thing I liked in the manga was Ide and Aizawa's relationship - and even shown when they were in the car after cornering Higuchi.
The anime massage scene was an interesting scene indeed. Although my first instinct was this is the moment lots of fanfics/art will be based on...
It did show the friendship between them (well okay at that point one-sided but heyy...)
As far as the last chapter – I'm in too minds, really I liked how the anime just finished with his death – but I like the manga's ending with his worshipers *wonders how many times I'll be saying this* it was like he really did become a God in the end. Well that's my impression – and I thought that was a good way to end it.
I'm one of those people that love to see even the minor characters have their turn, their spotlight. I was gonna say the only improvement was to have the task force/spk members/Matt, have a bigger part in it... but then again I think each of them did have some part to play even if it was small.
So re-thinking, I think generaly it was all perfect so no improvements needed...
That's all I can think of right now.

Overall, Death Note is an intense thriller with some of the most epic directing I've ever seen, but there were moments where it wasn't as good (Yotsuba arc, Misa Amane, etc.) and you can't really rewatch this because you'd have known the outcome already. See my review (signature) for more of my thoughts.

Hmm, I didn't watch every episode because knowing the manga plot made it a bit tedious. Nevertheless, those episodes I did watch seemed superbly done. The little revisions and additions here and there were also rather interesting.
/rant-on/ For instance, the revised ending pleased me greatly, as the manga ending had Light seem quite out of character. He was highly intelligent and dedicated to his cause/ideal, had been prepared for death in the first chapter, was surrounded by death for the rest of the story...and later on he's suddenly no longer prepared for his own death? His life was in danger, and people were going to stop him from achieving the ideal he'd been willing to give his life for in the beginning--and the thing that suddenly matters to him more is his life rather than the collapse of the ideal he'd been working towards for six years? The ideal for which he'd killed countless people?! Making his life suddenly matter more to him is spontaneously redefining his character instead of keeping with how he's been portrayed. Unnecessary change. Hah, as one person pointed out, it almost feels like the author was trying to press a moral lesson. The anime altering the ending and adding other alterations seemed quite sensible./rant-off/
All in all, I found that the revisions and additions, the various entertaining special effects, the voice acting all went well. I imagine if I had been knew to the series I might have given the show a 10/10 on all counts. But a more conservative averaging of scores leaves my final score around 9.4.

Robert Farquharson wanted to get back at his ex-wife when he drove their three boys into an icy Victorian dam and left them for dead.
He wanted to hurt her by taking away what she treasured most.
He succeeded.
Cindy Gambino wailed when she was told Farquharson had lost an appeal against his conviction for the murders of their sons Jai, 10, Tyler, 7, and Bailey, 2, on Father's Day in 2005.
Her husband, Stephen Moules, smiled as he comforted her.
"One thing and one thing only, guys. We're very, very pleased with the outcome," he told reporters outside the Court of Appeal on Friday.
Farquharson, 43, has twice been convicted by Victorian Supreme Court juries of murdering his sons, after he successfully appealed his first conviction in 2009.
He appealed his second conviction in May, arguing the jury should have had the option of convicting him of manslaughter because he had negligently driven with a respiratory condition that made him a risk on the road.
His lawyers argued evidence from a key witness, his friend Greg King, should not have been relied upon because it was inconsistent.
Mr King gave evidence that in the months before the murders, Farquharson had told him he was angry his ex-wife was moving on with another man and complained of the child support he had to pay.
He said he would "pay her back big time" by killing the children.
Court of Appeal President Chris Maxwell and Justices Peter Buchanan and David Harper said it had been open to the jury, on the whole of the evidence, to be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt of Farquharson's guilt.
They said the defence had not suggested at any stage during Farquharson's two trials that the jury should be directed to consider the alternative charge of manslaughter.
"In our view, the jury were entitled to view (Farquharson's) apparent lack of interest in, and absence of distress about, the fate of his children as consistent with, and confirmatory of, the crown case and as wholly inconsistent with the deaths having been accidental," the court said.
"It strained credulity that a father who (on his own version) had accidentally caused the death of his three children should have been so extraordinarily calm and considered when questioned about the drownings in the immediate aftermath."
Mr King said he would always live with the fact that had he taken Farquharson's comments seriously and reported them to police, the boys would still be alive.
"His words will be with me until my dying day," he said in a statement.
Farquharson has been sentenced to life in jail with a minimum term of 33 years.

English comedian Mark Thomas organized a flash mob in London in order to shame Apple and their tax-avoiding tactics they've been using through their Cork office in Ireland.
By funneling global profits through their Irish office, the Apple Corporation has only had to pay a 1.9 percent Irish tax, and has thus been avoiding the US taxman.
Chortle reports that Thomas brought together about 50 people who held Irish flags and signs reading 'Take a Tax Holiday in Ireland' and 'You are now entering Irish territory.' Mob members were also performing Irish music and singing along to the traditional tune The Irish Rover.
Members of the flashmob also went around the store opening windows on Mac computers which read, "Apple iDodge tax. You can buy the same products at the same prices at John Lewis around the corner and their MD slams tax avoidance."
When approached by an Apple employee in the store, Thomas explained that they it was "only a bit of fun."
After the gathering at the Apple store on Regent Street in London, Thomas told the participants: "It's great you made a little impact. We're not prepared to let companies pay no tax. It's austerity and multinationals who turn over billions of pounds in profit have got to make sure they pay their bit.
"If they are tax dodgers, we will make a scream, we will make a scene and shout as much as we can until we can get these people to pay tax and put into the system rather than take out."

Brigham Young nose tackle Eathyn Manumaleuna started his first college game in 2007. That was Ross Burbank's freshman year at Virginia Beach's Cox High School.
Saturday afternoon, the Manumaleuna-Burbank wrestling match figures to play a pivotal role as Virginia opens its season against BYU.
The game will mark the first collegiate start for Burbank, who earned the center's job during spirited training camp competition with redshirt freshman Jackson Matteo.
"That battle had a lot of ups and downs for everyone that was involved," said senior Luke Bowanko, the Cavaliers' starting right guard in 2011, center in 2012 and left guard this season. "It wasn't a smooth path for Ross throughout camp. There were some practices where you thought Coach was going to rip his head off. … The most impressive thing about Ross is the way he handled it."
Burbank's acceptance of offensive line coach Scott Wachenheim's animated critiques are part of what head coach Mike London called a maturation.
"I think there's a maturity level that he's experienced," London said Monday at his weekly news conference, "and he just kind of emerged as a guy that has proven that he can make … the line calls and protection calls. So his knowledge of the game has increased, as well.
"But Ross has been a very pleasant surprise for us, in that his development has put him in a position to be a starting center."
A 6-foot-4, 290-pound redshirt sophomore, Burbank faces a unique opening test.
Not because Manumaleuna is 6-2, 305 pounds. Large as that is, it's not extraordinary for a nose guard. But like many of his teammates, Manumaleuna is older, the product of not only a two-year Mormon mission but also a medical redshirt season.
After starting every game of his freshman season at BYU in 2007, Manumaleuna spent two years in Oklahoma spreading his church's word. He returned to football in 2010 and started every game as a defensive end in 2011 before a knee injury spoiled what would have been his senior season last year.
Meanwhile, Burbank labored in 2012 as a reserve guard and center. He remained a backup on the depth chart, at center, after spring practices that were trying for much of the offensive line.
"He had a right to be upset with us, the way we played in the spring game," Burbank said of Wachenheim.
Matteo was ahead of Burbank on the depth chart until sustaining an upper-body injury that has curtailed him in practice.
Centers choreograph a great deal of line play, and Bowanko said Burbank has been a quick study.
"I've let Ross make the calls," Bowanko added. "You have to let someone grow into that position. I think what I offer is the confidence .. to know that if by chance he does make the wrong call, that I'll be there to fix it. … Ninety-nine percent of the time, he's been right. … He's a smart kid, so he'll be all right."
With Manumaleuna lining up directly over the center in BYU's 3-4 alignment, Burbank would be wise to employ some wrestling techniques, at least those that don't get him flagged. Burbank was the state high school heavyweight champion as a junior at Cox, and had London not offered him a scholarship, he was prepared to wrestle at Virginia.
"A lot of (people) don't give the heavyweight class much credit," Burbank said, "but I really took pride in it. … Leverage is a really, really big thing when you have a guy head up on you firing off the ball and trying to take you head off. It's really controlling that initial burst off the ball."

A while ago we shared our Carnival inspiration with you, and ever since we've been dreaming of fun feather trims and shiny sequins. We wanted to make a DIY incorporating some of our incredible feather trims, so we created this lovely feather clutch that would be perfect for a night on the town. It's very simple, but the final result is oh-so-chic! Take a look for yourself and let us know what you think.
Supplies: a clutch or makeup bag, scissors, E6000 glue, 2 yds feather fringe, 2 ft sequin trim
The exact feather trim we used is item #30865 (in Spruce), and the exact sequin trim is item #54829. Both trims are available by contacting customer service at 1-800-9-MJTRIM or [email protected]
1. Measure out the feather trim so it wraps around the clutch once (both the front and the back). Cut one piece to this length. Cut two more pieces that are the same length, so you have three pieces of trim that will wrap all the way around the clutch.
2. Lay the feather trim down on the clutch so the feathers are hanging over the bottom of the clutch a bit. Then use the glue to slowly glue the trim in place, section by section. Glue it all the way around the clutch and trim any excess feathers.
3. Add another layer of feather trim on top, so it covers up the top of the first layer of fringe. Glue it in place, all the way around the clutch.
4. Add the top and final layer of feathers at the very top of the clutch. Glue it all the way around and let dry.
5. To add some extra pizzaz, glue down your sequin trim at the top of the clutch. Let it dry then you're all done!

MANILA, Philippines --What do you do when two candidates running for mayor in the Philippines get exactly the same number of votes? You get them to toss a coin.
Marvic Feraren and Boyet Py both received 3,236 votes for mayor of San Teodoro town in Mindoro Oriental province in Monday's elections.
The Elections Commissions suggested the two men flip a coin five times each, which is allowed under the country's Election Code to break a tie.
Feraren won Tuesday, but not before a second round of coin flipping.
They tied in the first round too.

Ah, a MUCH easier question, Njanja.
My brother and I visited them.' 'I' is clearly the subject pronoun here. 'Me' is an object of the verb: 'The aliens visited my brother and me.'
Where it gets confusing is: 'Between you and I/me, who is the better golfer?' or 'It is I/me who/whom you saw crossing the road with the chicken'.

Weight Loss
From the effects of the hormone cortisol to the role of genetics in weight loss, this category is packed with everything that you need to know about losing weight the healthy way.
Most people are unhappy with their weight. If you ask anyone out on the street, they will probably tell you that they wish they were anywhere from 5-20 pounds thinner.
The most common thought that comes to mind when you're trying to shed the pounds is, "What is the quickest way to lose weight?" There are many weight loss programs that claim to give you results right away, but there is no 'quick and easy' fix to everyone's weight loss woes.
Here are a few tried and true tips to help speed up the weight loss process
Drink lots of water-
Usually, when people are trying to lose weight in a pinch, they become tempted to sweat it out, slashing their water intake in half. This is a bad idea because you're not really losing any weight. The number on the scale will go down, but that's just water weight. You'll gain most, if not all of the weight back in a few days.
Hit that snooze button-
It's hard to make good, healthy choices when we're sleep deprived. If you're not getting your beauty sleep, your body will mostly crave junk food late at night when you should be in bed—and the longer you stay awake, the more likely you will be to give into temptation and cut yourself another piece of sugary, chocolaty cake.
Chew Gum-
If you're feeling tempted to binge on junk food, pop a piece of gum in your mouth. Most individual pieces of gum contain less than five calories and it takes much more than five calories to chew a stick of gum.
Discipline yourself-
When you are trying to lose weight quickly, it is important to establish a certain set of rules that you plan to follow every day:
- If it's after 8 p.m., it's too late (to eat)
- Do 100 crunches before getting into the shower
- No chocolate on Monday's, Wednesday's, or Fridays
Write these rules down somewhere where you will see them every day. A great place to write your list of rules is on your bathroom mirror with an Expo marker. When you set up rules like this, you are subconsciously placing the thought into the back of your mind where it will eventually become a habit.
Eat healthy-
If you need to lose weight right away and you're looking for something fast and convenient without the hassle of frequenting the grocery store, bistroMD offers a diet delivery program that can help you successfully shed the pounds.
We cook with the freshest ingredients and have over 200 recipes and a customizable menu so you should have no problem finding something to satisfy your stomach.
Every bite you take follows this proven approach for healthy weight loss. Our program provides 1,100-1,400 calories daily with 40-50% total caloric intake from lean, adequate protein, 20-25% of calories from healthy fats, and 30-35% from complex carbohydrates.
It only takes a few weeks to start seeing results. You don't have anything to lose, but the fat!
We have a men and a women's program with the option to receive five-or-seven-days' worth of healthy meals delivered to your door. The two programs range from $130-$160 and EATS, our essential and tasty snacks are just $1.50 per snack. Women receive two snacks per day and men receive three snacks per day.
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.

*Miley Cyrus has taken to Twitter to proclaim that recent quotes about Beyonce attributed to an interview she did with U.K. fashion magazine Love are completely fake.
A rep for the magazine has also confirmed to MTV News that the quotes are not from the interview.
It appeared that the 21-year-old singer had some choice words for Queen Bey in the upcoming issue, which features Cyrus on the cover and hits newsstands on March 2.
"Beyoncé has been a big inspiration to me but she's been out for such a long time," Miley reportedly said in one of the quotes. "She's so talented and I think she's at the top of the game now but people are always looking for new blood and that's what I bring to the game now, new blood. I got the total package you know, the curves, the rhythm, and the voice. I'm just the best."
In another faked quote, Miley claims to be the "total package," adding that Beyoncé's role as a mother has made room for new pop stars to rise to the top.
"As Beyoncé grows in motherhood and all the crap it does to your body, it will create a vacuum for fresh young faces to rise up and no one else can properly fill that void right now. I'm the only white female singer that could fill that slot right now and do it right, you know?" she reportedly said. "I'm just the total package, you know? All things must start and end and I hope to have the same success as other icons in the game when my run is over. But for now, my run is just starting."
While it's unclear where the quotes originate from, the made-up bites quickly hit several gossip websites this morning. Miley ran to Twitter to squash the reports.
"That quote people MADE UP about Beyonce just made me lol! Imagine if I said I got 'the looks and the curves I'm just better!' Bahahahhaha," she tweeted Thursday afternoon (January 2) as the bites quickly went viral. "How are people allowed to make up sh– & then out quotes around it saying I said that sh–! WTF!!?! Thank god I just woke up from this nightmare."
"Don't worry. getting 2 the bottom of this sh–. making the liar retract the statement. U can cause ALOT of drama but NOT between me & B!" she tweeted.
