Maryland tradition lives on with Cherokee's Boy
Substitute crab cakes for Derby pie, a painted weather vane for the twin spires, and "Maryland My Maryland" for "My Old Kentucky Home," and the Preakness Stakes matches up quite well with the Kentucky Derby, tradition for tradition.
For those reasons, and many more - Camden Yards, the Inner Harbor, Little Italy - Maryland natives are as fiercely proud of the Preakness as Kentuckians are of their Derby. Yet while the rest of the country has developed a passion for the glamorous Derby - witness the 16-horse field that charged out of the gate at Churchill Downs - the Preakness always has been the underappreciated race of the Triple Crown, as demonstrated by the struggle this year to get a field half as big as the Derby.
The Derby winner did not bother to come to Pimlico in 1982. Numerous times in recent years, the Derby winner did not even show up until late in the week; that will happen again this year, with Funny Cide. But one tradition will remain - Maryland will be represented.
Cherokee's Boy - bred in Maryland, based in Maryland, and owned by residents of Baltimore - will be the local hope in the May 17 Preakness. He will be a longshot, but he will seek to follow in the footsteps of other Maryland-based runners who scored upsets, or gave a scare to their better-known rivals, in the Preakness.
Last year, 45-1 shot Magic Weisner came within three-quarters of a length of beating War Emblem, the Derby winner. Oliver's Twist was second at 25-1 in 1995. Deputed Testamony ran better than his owners spelled, winning in 1983 at 14-1. The quintessential Maryland upset was that of Bee Bee Bee, who won as an 18-1 shot in 1972 while beating the odds-on favorite, Derby winner Riva Ridge.
"He deserves a shot," Gary Capuano, the trainer of Cherokee's Boy, said Friday from Maryland. "Now's the time to take a shot."
Cherokee's Boy - a colt by Citidancer owned and bred by Foard Wilgis and David Picarello - has won 4 of 12 starts. He most recently captured the Federico Tesio Stakes on April 19, making him unbeaten in three starts at Pimlico. But Capuano is taking a sober approach to the Preakness, because Ten Most Wanted and Outta Here, who beat Cherokee's Boy in stakes races in the past six months, both were well beaten in the Derby.
"Looking at the Derby, we've got no chance, because the horses who beat us did not run well in the Derby," Capuano said. "But with Empire Maker not running, and Atswhatimtalknbout not running, and maybe even Peace Rules passing the race for Midas Eyes, that opens the door quite a bit. It looks like it's not going to be a big field. He's unbeaten at Pimlico. That helps.
"But, still, you want a chance to win. I don't want to run just to be there. I don't want to run unless we've got a legitimate shot. Unless you can hit the board, a week after the race it doesn't mean anything. As long as you've got a decent chance to hit the board, it's all worth it. No one wants to be in the race any more than I do. Hopefully after the race, the owners will say, 'See, I told you we should run.' "
Capuano, 39, has been through the Triple Crown grind once before. He trained Captain Bodgit, who in 1997 won the Florida Derby and Wood Memorial before dropping narrow decisions to Silver Charm in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.
"That was a lot of fun," Capuano said. "He was a top contender. After being there with a horse who had a legitimate shot, I don't want to go back unless I have a horse with a legitimate shot. I know what it takes. This horse is no Captain Bodgit, but he's a nice horse. He deserves a shot."
Capuano trains 24 horses and is based at Bowie, the former track that now serves strictly as a training center. From there, he has sent Cherokee's Boy to races in Illinois, Louisiana, Texas, West Virginia, and both major tracks in Maryland, Laurel and Pimlico.
"It's a good training surface," Capuano said. "It's quiet. The only downside is you have to ship to run anywhere you go. He has got some frequent miles, and they're not all from flying. There's a lot of road miles. I've sent him halfway across the country by trailer."
For his next race, it is just a 45-minute commute to Pimlico. More than anyone else in the race, he has the home-field advantage.
In other Preakness developments Friday:
o Alysweep, second in Aqueduct's Withers Stakes on May 3, is possible for the race, trainer Patrick Reynolds said. "We're keeping an open mind," said Reynolds, who was going to consult with owner Michael Dubb before deciding whether to run. "This would be a nice race to be competitive with, but it's only two weeks. It's a quick turnaround."
Kissin Saint and Foufa's Warrior also are possible for the race, Pimlico officials said Friday.
o Funny Cide had a spirited gallop of one lap around the 1 1/2-mile Belmont Park main track. "I was exhausted. My arms felt like rubber bands," said Robin Smullen, the exercise rider and assistant trainer for Funny Cide. "I was tired. He never gets tired."
o Peace Rules, third in the Derby, also galloped at Belmont.

|The most typical picture of us...ever
Take A Chance & Choose To Dance (Or, you know go to a different college)
This summer not only does my little sister turn 18 years old (YIKES!!!) but she also graduates from high school (DOUBLE YIKES!!). Ever since she applied I secretly wanted her to follow in my footsteps and attend LSU, but she's picked to go to another school that is more suited for her program.
You see, she wants to be a nurse. And while LSU is pretty good with some of their programs, she'd have to go to New Orleans to attend nursing school after applying in her second year of college. I talked about it a little bit for her, and honestly her best bet would to not go to LSU.
While I'm a little sad about her not wanting to go to the same college as me (just wanted her to stay close!), I love that she's making her own decision and really has a plan for what she wants to do. I can't wait to see how well she does, and can't wait for her to become a nurse so she can take care of me all the time. I am the accident prone child you know!
Do you have any siblings? Did y'all attend the same schools?

A new series by Dandi Daley Mackall, author of the best-selling Winnie the Horse Gentler series!
I've run away seven times—never once to anything, just away from. Maybe that's why they call me a "runaway," and not a "run-to."
Meet 16-year-old Dakota Brown. She used to love all things "horse" until she lost everything, including hope. The minute she sets foot on her foster parents' farm—Starlight Animal Rescue—she plans her escape. But can an "impossible" horse named Blackfire and this quirky collection of animal lovers be the home she's always dreamed of?

Forget super-bargain travel on the Easter holiday or during any of the Spring Break weeks in March or April. For that matter, forget most flights in and out of Florida.
Unless your travel agent is a wizard or a personal friend of Texas Air Corp. Chairman Frank Lorenzo, you won`t find a seat -- at least not at the advertised ``maxsaver`` fares.
The latest air fare competition is both frustrating passengers and driving South Florida`s travel agents ``up a wall,`` as one agent put it. The agents are trying to fit customers into the few special fare seats available on flights while warning them that tickets are not refundable and several restrictions apply. Travel agents say they`re working harder for less money.
``It`s called bait and switch,`` said Bob Debienski of Lake Worth Travel Service. ``The seats aren`t there.`` Debienski said customers are being misled in advertisements about the availability of the special fares.
Eastern, whose parent company Texas Air Corp. started all the fuss, says that`s not true. ``We say up-front that seats are limited. It`s incredibly popular,`` said Karen Ceremsak, Eastern`s spokeswoman.
William F. Cooper, president of Adventure Travel in Pompano Beach, said it`s difficult to accommodate clients wanting the special fares. ``Two seats on a plane of 140 seats and we`re supposed to get these two.`` Bernadette Costello, a travel agent with Oakbrook Travel in North Palm Beach, said customers ``want the $79 and $99 fare, and they`re very surprised they can`t get it.``
Costello said the situation has improved slightly since the latest fare competition began. ``The airlines have released a little bit more space on certain flights, but it`s still extremely difficult and time consuming to get what everybody wants.``
Travel agents say they have been able to get the special fares for clients who are flexible about when they can travel and what routes they take. But many customers don`t understand why they can`t get the low fares when they want them. And some don`t realize that there is no excuse -- illness or missing a flight -- that will get them a refund on a ticket.

QUALITY WAS the watchword at the South of England Show, with stockmen in all four main sections putting on a fine display of livestock drawn from all over southern England.
Leading the way was the interbreed sheep champion, a Suffolk ram lamb from Keith and Kate Manning's 20-ewe Shipreed flock.
Their January-born lamb clinched their first interbreed championship at a major show and backed their decision to invest in superior genetics through AI.
The lamb is sired by Stockton Storm and out of a homebred ewe by Stockton Slocum.
Standing reserve in the sheep lines was a Charollais shearling ram from the Glos-based Chestnut Park flock of John and Anne Griffiths.
The ram, Chestnut Park Dumbledore, is by Chestnut Park Alfred and out of a homebred ewe.
In the beef lines, Glasgow-based interbreed judge Archie McGregor picked an imported Canadian Simmental cow as his champion.
The 1995-born polled cow Awl Starlet has an impressive record, having bred eight calves in six calvings for her Herts-based owner David Sapsed.
Starlet, who was without a calf at foot, is now in calf again and is due in September to the herd's stock bull Hockenhull Kramer.
Reserve spot in the beef classes also went to a female – a Charolais heifer with a calf at foot from local breeders Brian and Peter Heath.
Sackville Sapphire, a 2001-born heifer has already been out on the show circuit this summer, picking up the interbreed award at last month's Surrey County Show.
Elsewhere in the cattle classes, it was a repeat win for the Radleygreen Designer dairy team, with their second-calving Jersey cow Designer Hercules Scorpion picking up the interbreed honours for the second time in as many weeks, after winning at Suffolk Show the week before. Scorpion gave more than 7700 litres in her first lactation.
The reserve interbreed honours also headed back to Essex with the Radleygreen team, with their Holstein leader Cleevale Jed Adona clinching this ticket, another repeat of the Suffolk results. Adona is a bought-in cow, bred from an imported dam.
Both the Radleygreen cows now head home for a well-earned rest before their next outing, the Royal in the first week of July.
Among the pigs, it was a winning day for David Overton's Exfold herd of Gloucester Old Spots. Mr Overton's sow, Exfold Princess 95, stood top in the traditional breed classes and is due to pig again with her fourth litter in September.
Standing reserve to 2001-born Princess was the Berkshire boar Morebred Namatijara 9 from Charles Bull's Morebred herd. This July 2003-born boar had also stood reserve to Princess in the traditional breed classes.

We're leaving in a few hours for Belleville, and I'm hoping Jackson comes home with two majors to his name. It has been a stressful week, with the show being the weekend before my finals start and Lemon injuring a front leg on top of it. As Lemon is needed to make the major, we've been doing everything possible to get her leg better so she'll ready for this weekend (and of course so that she'll feel better). Poor thing has barely been out of her crate all week, but it looks like her limp is gone, or at least almost gone, so the rest has been good for her.

Men and Masculinities in the Sagas of Icelanders
Dr Gareth Lloyd Evans
My main research area is Old Norse-Icelandic literature, and I have particular research interests in masculinities, affect and emotion, skaldic poetry, and female homosociality. I have secondary research interests in Middle English literature and contemporary medievalism.
My doctoral thesis interrogated the construction and problematization of masculinities within the Íslendingasögur ('Sagas of Icelanders'), and I have work published or forthcoming on skaldic poetry, the correspondences between medieval and postmodern modes of textuality, and contemporary medievalism.

Zittara Multi-Purpose Carbine and Assault Rifle,Ofb,Indian Army
Zittara Multi-Purpose carbine is the modified version of IMI Tavor Tar 21 Israel Military industries Assault Rifle.It is basically a 9mm MTAR-21 version of Tavor.
The Weapon capable of being used in an assault rifle role with capability to fire 5.56X45 mm rounds with an accuracy upto 300 m and it also capable of being used in a carbine role with capability to fire 5.56X30 mm and 9X19 mm rounds with an accuracy upto 200 m.
Induction in Indian Army
In late 2002, India signed an INR 880 million (about USD 17.7 million) deal with Israel Military Industries for 3,070 manufactured Tavor assault rifles to be issued to India's special forces personnel, where its ergonomics, reliability in heat and sand might give them an edge at close-quarters and employment from inside vehicles.
By 2005, IMI had supplied 350–400 Tavors to India's northern Special Frontier Force (SFF). These were subsequently declared to be "operationally unsatisfactory". The required changes have since been made, and tests in Israel during 2006 went well, clearing the contracted consignment for delivery.
The Tavor has now entered operational service – even as India gears up for a larger competition that could feature a 9 mm MTAR-21 version. Known as the Zittara, the rifle is manufactured in India by the Ordnance Factories Board for Indian service.
Orders and deliveries
A consignment of over 500 TAR-21 Tavor assault rifles and another 30 Galil sniper rifles worth over INR 150 million (USD 3.3 million) and INR 20 million respectively was delivered to the MARCOS (Marine Commandos) in December 2010.
India's paramilitary and counter-insurgency Central Reserve Police Force CRPF ordered 12000 Micro Tavor (X-95) rifles (designation X-95), with the rifles entering service in early 2011. Following the use of the weapon by Indian forces fighting the insurgency in Kashmir, CRPF commanders have stated that the X-95 is a more effective assault rifle than the AKM, due to its small size, power, longer range and lighter weight.
In 2016, IWI announced that it was establishing a 49:51 joint venture with Punj Lloyd in India, in order manufacture rifle components in India.
Other Features
The Zittara has Bull pup configuration making the weapon only 59 cms long and 3kgs in weight.It is based on Itegrated aimimg system and equipped with Reflex sight + integral laser pointer.
The weapon has the outstanding day and night continuous fighting capability with No Zeroing needed that makes its quite dangerous weapon.It has advanced ergonomic design and ideal for Close quarter battle (CQB) with all calibers.
The weapon has high accuracy and appropriate for right or left-hand shooter.The weapon built in such a way that it can increase the comfort level in shooting and holding.It has improved hit probability than its base version.
There is interchangeability of barrel and magazine for both calibers and there is also a attachment of Advanced sighting system directly to barrel.

I've turned in the grades for all of my classes. I'm pleased with myself at a level that is all out of proportion with the accomplishment, but right now I couldn't care less.
Dr. Noodles leaves tomorrow for 10 days. I've been telling some people he's going on his yearly LSD binge and others that he's going to take refresher courses at clown college. I'm waiting to see how long it takes the stories to merge and mutate.
We spent our lunch hour today discussing the history of the pogo stick and pondering the case of the man who recently got a 30 year sentence for killing someone with a pogo stick. Then we made duck noises for a while. It's really hard to tell which of us is the most burned out right about now. We've also been playing with the glowing blue ball that Batty sent us.
And we wonder why they've moved our office so far away from the rest of the world?

It's a good thing the Mariners are prone to take baseball one day at a time. The alternative – pondering the big picture – is to realize they're facing the kind of long odds that induce hopelessness.
Going into the road-trip finale at Colorado, 110 games were left on the schedule. Assuming 90 victories to be the cutoff point for the second wild-card berth, the Mariners will need to play at a .609 clip just to get their feet in the door.
As of Monday morning, only five teams, out of 30, had won 60 percent of their games: The Astros and Yankees in the A.L., and the Rockies, Dodgers and Nationals in the N.L.
A miraculous turnaround is not out of the question, but given the rotten luck that corrupted their season at every turn, merely putting together an interesting stretch for a month or two will be the miracle.
What qualifies as "interesting?"
I'm setting the bar low.
Interesting is a lineup card containing eight position players who are healthy at the same time.
Interesting is relying a five-man starting rotation that's steeped in veterans who know how to pitch their way out of jams.
Interesting is a bullpen stocked with power arms that fill roles predicated on righty-lefty match-ups.
General manager Jerry Dipoto envisioned this team over the winter. There's a lot to like about the blueprint: speed at the top and bottom of the batting order, sandwiching a heavy-hitting core. The outfield defense appeared to be upgraded, benefiting a starting rotation built to coax fly-ball outs in Safeco Field.
So much promise, so much to anticipate, and it all came apart before the sun returned from a seven-month hibernation. Rebounding from a 2-8 start was going to be a chore anyway, but injuries made the chore an untenable challenge.
If the baseball gods were fair and balanced, the Mariners could be reassured they're due some payback for weathering the storm. This just in: The baseball gods are indifferent. They don't keep score.
When right fielder Mitch Haniger finally returns from the oblique strain that derailed his Rookie-of-the-Year candidacy in April, there's no guarantee the lineup will remain intact.
At some point, Dipoto will be required to make some white-flag decisions preceding the July 31 interleague trade deadline. Slugger Nelson Cruz could return a package of prospects. Same with shortstop Jean Segura, whose contract runs through next season.
Every position player on the roster looms as trade bait except second baseman Robinson Cano, guaranteed $24-million annually through 2023.
Before Dipoto makes any moves to rebuild the roster, I am inclined to allow him opportunity to enjoy what he built in 2017. Depleted by injuries, mocked by fate, the roster has playoff-caliber talent.
Let's see that talent play together, bond together, have some fun together. There's little hope of the Mariners playing .609 over the next four months, but there's every hope they can pique our interest.
And if they a get on a roll, and go on a six-game winning streak that precedes an eight-game winning streak, well, nothing is impossible.
A grueling road trip that found the Mariners bottoming out in Boston is posing a chance for them to return 4-4. You take some little steps, baby steps, whatever-it-takes steps, and suddenly the season isn't the lost cause it looked to be on Saturday.
One day at a time.

May family celebrations.
Holly (Gray) and Dan Baker will be celebrating their ninth anniversary in May. It doesn't seem so long ago we were scrambling to make wedding arrangements in Sonoma. Since that time, they have opened two restaurants and had two boys – Kyan and Clive. Their union has certainly enriched our family, and we get along great with Dan's family too.

Some rebates are in the mail.
The IRS has started mailing rebate checks. There is a sequence they are following that favors efiled tax returns. Most of our clients won't qualify for a rebate because their income is too high. Remember you have to file an income tax return to receive an "advance" rebate check during 2008.

Current deduction, depreciable improvement or non-deductible capital expense? The IRS issues guidelines.
The IRS withdrew proposed regulations issued on August 21, 2006 and issued new proposed regulations about capitalization and expenditures relating to tangible property on March 10, 2008. The proposed regulations won't be effective until they are finalized, but they are still important as guidelines of the current thinking at the IRS on these issues.
My printout of the proposed regulations and the preamble (IRS summary) is about 51 pages. I can't cover them in detail.
There are new conformity rules when a taxpayer has applicable financial statements, such as financial statements required to be filed with the SEC or a governmental agency, or other audited financial statements.
Materials and supplies are eligible to be currently deducted. They are tangible property used or consumed in the taxpayer's operations that meet one of four tests –
- Not a "unit of property" (such as spare parts, other than rotable or temporary spare parts, for repairs);
- A unit of property that has an economic useful life of 12 months or less;
- A unit of property that has an acquisition or production cost of $100 or less; or
- Is identified by the IRS in an announcement as materials and supplies.
Rotable or temporary spare parts may only be deducted when they are ultimately disposed of or scrapped.
Another example in the proposed regulations of an item that is "not a unit of property" is a broken window in a building that is replaced. The replacement qualifies for a current deduction as materials and supplies.
When materials and supplies are used to improve a property, such as for rehabilitating a "fix up" property in preparation for sale, they must be capitalized.
The IRS has stated the "plan of rehabilitation" doctrine that disallows a current deduction for repairs made as part of a general plan of renovation or rehabilitation will be obsolete when the proposed regulations become effective. Repairs that do not improve the property will be currently deductible even when performed at the same time as other repairs that must be capitalized as an "improvement".
There is a special rule for amounts paid by a taxpayer in the process of investigating or otherwise pursuing the acquisition of real property permitting the current deduction of expenses relating to the process of determining whether to acquire real property and which real property to acquire. However, "inherently facilitative costs", such as getting an appraisal of a property, must be capitalized and may be deducted when the acquisition is abandoned or added to the purchase price of the property when it is acquired.
I recommend that advisors study these proposed regulations and that taxpayers consult with their advisors about how the new proposed regulations would affect them.

State agency payments for in-home care of elderly are tax exempt.
The IRS has privately ruled that payments made directly to caregivers to help the elderly live at home as an alternative to care in a nursing home are tax-free to the person being cared for and for the caregivers. The payments are to offset the costs of support and maintenance for elderly individuals living in the home of a capable adult caregiver, usually a spouse or other relative. The payments are exempt under the general welfare exclusion. To qualify for the exclusion, the payments must (1) be made from a governmental fund, (2) be for the promotion of the general welfare, and (3) not represent compensation of services by the caregivers or the elderly individuals being cared for. Since the payments are tax exempt, no information returns (Forms 1099) are required to be submitted for the payments. (Letter Ruling 200810005.)

Transfers to LLC not included in estate.
Anna Mirowski transferred substantial assets to a limited liability company and then made gifts of interests in the company to trusts established for her daughters. She said the primary reasons for forming the LLC were (1) joint management of the family's assets by her daughters and eventually her grandchildren; (2) maintenance of the family's assets in a single entity so that investment opportunities could be better exploited; (3) providing for each of her daughters and eventually her grandchildren on an equal basis.
Anna died unexpectedly two weeks after setting up the LLC.
An estate tax return was filed, excluding the shares of the LLC transferred to the trusts. The source for paying the estate taxes was the LLC.
The IRS claimed the transfers to the trust should be disregarded. The IRS said there was no non-tax reason for the transfers, and that the "bona fide sale" exception didn't apply because (1) Anna didn't keep enough assets outside the LLC for her expected financial obligations; (2) the LLC didn't have any valid business operation; (3) the transfer happened shortly before Anna's death; (4) Anna sat on both sides of her transfers to the LLC; and (5) after Anna's death, the LLC made $36.4 million of distributions that were used by the estate to pay federal and state transfer taxes, legal fees and other estate obligations.
The Tax Court ruled in favor of the estate. The Court found there was no agreement that Anna retain the possession or enjoyment of, or the right to the income from, the interests given to her daughters' trusts.
The Court found there were significant, legitimate non-tax reasons for forming the LLC, as specified in the first paragraph, above.
The Court found that Anna had sufficient other assets to pay her other obligations, most significantly the gift tax for the transfers to the trusts.
The Court also found that Anna didn't believe her death was imminent when the LLC was formed and the gifts were made.
The Court also said that the estate tax liability wasn't expected at the time of Anna's death, which happened unexpectedly after the transfers were made.

IRS issues bonus depreciation form for fiscal year businesses.
The IRS has issued new Form 4562-FY for 2007. The form is to be used by fiscal year businesses with tax years beginning in 2007 and ending in 2008 that want to claim 50% bonus depreciation under the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 for qualified property placed in service after December 31, 2007. The bonus depreciation will be claimed at Line 14.
(Remember California and many other states have not adopted bonus depreciation in conformity with the federal tax law change.)

Questions and Answers
My husband normally works five days a week, but very often he has to work extra on Saturday. He gets paid for it, but his employer will not pay for the mileage. Can he claim this mileage as a business expense?
Assuming the mileage is for commuting from your home to his job and back, it's a non-deductible personal expense.
Michael Gray regrets he can no longer personally answer email questions. He will answer selected questions in this newsletter.

Heartland Recreational Vehicles LLC, Elkhart, Ind., was founded in 2003 by a quintet of RV veterans. Their philosophy is lower numbers mean a better market and better dealers. That was one of the reasons why all of them left their previous companies to bring Heartland RV to the public.
The first product created by Heartland was a high-end fifth wheel. The LANDMARK which was aimed at extended-stay RVers who spend a lot of time in their coaches at one location was picked to create first on purpose because it was going to be the hardest to build and they wanted to prove that they could do it and do it right.

Until the 6th of November, Oxydo is the star of the new campaign on www.zooppa.com.
From last spring, Zooppa is an innovative virtual platform which offers the companies on line place for advertising campaigns, based on the user generated model.
Oxydo has launched, through Zooppa, its first on line contest dedicated to all creative people and advertising fans. These are invited to join the contest for the new positioning of the brand. From the 27th of September to the 6th of November, the Internet users can compete by posting videos, print ads, storyboards or concepts for the new Oxydo communication.
At the end of the contest, Zooppers' community, how the Zooppa registered users are called, chooses the winners, by voting the best works, according to the social advertising model.
After having hosted different important brands – such as, for example, Citroën, Pago, Fineco, Rai – it is clear that Zooppa is a great instrument of unconventional advertising for the companies that trust in the Web 2.0 ways of communication. These are the same companies that are willing to involve their own consumers in this new way of advertising.

90% Aussie teachers bullied by colleaguesNovember 30th, 2007 - 6:04 pm ICT by admin
Sydney, Nov30 (ANI): A recent survey in Australia unveiled that more than 90 per cent of teachers are bullied by their colleagues at the work place.
The teachers claimed that they are exposed to unmanageable workloads and ignored, frozen out or excluded from decision-making activities.
The survey disclosed that more than 80 per cent of teachers have had their integrity undermined and that their concerns about unfair treatment, harassment and bullying are dismissed.
The survey also revealed that one in every five teachers even had their car or office attacked, and a similar number complained about physical abuse or threats of violence.
Many teachers also claimed that they had been subjected to insults about their political or religious convictions.
The bullies included executive staff, colleagues, principals and parents.
The survey led by Dr Riley and Professor Deirdre Duncan from the Australian Catholic University included more than 800 teachers in government, Catholic and independent schools.
Dr Riley described the results as "frightening."
"This is the first national electronic survey to seek the experiences of support staff, teachers, executives and principals in relation to staff bullying in both government and non-government schools," news.com.au
quoted Dr Riley, as saying.
There's an enormous amount of pressure on schools to do more and more with less and less and parents, with their rising expectations, are often prepared to challenge how things are done in schools," he added.
The findings uncovered the facts saying that ninety-one per cent of teachers suffer mental or physical health problems due to unmanageable workloads.
Eighty-seven per cent said they had lost or gained responsibilities without consultation and eighty-three per cent said their concerns about unfair treatment, bullying and harassment had been dismissed.
They also complained that their superiors frequently questioned their decisions and judgments and set tasks with unreasonable or impossible targets and deadlines and attempted to belittle or undermine their work. (ANI)

'Forced' into racing - and doing just fine
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Fred and Jane Brei of Jacks or Better Farm didn't intend to be in the Florida Million.
When they bought their 89-acre Ocala, Fla., farm in 1996, the Breis planned to breed Thoroughbreds for the auction ring. But the market didn't offer them what they believed their stock was worth, so the Breis took their yearlings back and decided to race them. That, in a nutshell, is how tiny Jacks or Better Farm unexpectedly became one of Florida's leading home breeders, with two top contenders in the inaugural Florida Million juvenile races: stakes winner Hear No Evil in the $150,000 Jack Price Juvenile and stakes-placed Crimson and Roses in the $150,000 Joe O'Farrell Juvenile Fillies.
"It's strictly by accident," Brei said. "We would rather have sold these horses and been successful commercially. We really wanted the farm, the mares, and the babies, and not to be so involved in racing. But when we got forced into racing by the market, it turned out pretty well. Breeding is still our emphasis, but we're involved in racing more and more because we've been fortunate enough to get some good horses."
This year, the best of those horses are Hear No Evil and Crimson and Roses. Hear No Evil, a Carson City colt, is already a stakes winner, thanks to his score in Calder's Criterium Stakes. Crimson and Roses, by El Prado, is stakes placed, having finished second in the J j'sdream Stakes at Calder. The two are Jacks or Better's only stakes performers this year, but they represent a healthy 14 percent of the program's current juvenile crop.
"This has been a fairyland-type year," said Fred Brei, a retired developer. "We have about 20 to 25 broodmares and we try like hell to get 20 babies a year. This year's crop of 2-year-olds, there were 14 of them, so we've been fortunate with our stakes percentage."
Brei often uses the word "fortunate" to describe Jacks or Better's successful program. Certainly they have had some good luck, which is a welcome commodity in any breeding operation. The Breis got Hear No Evil's dam, the unraced Cox's Ridge mare Nizy, as part of a seven-mare package from Ocala's High Mark Farm about five years ago.
The John Franks-bred mare didn't appear to be a standout at first.
"About six months after we bought her, one of her foals became a stakes winner, which was delightful," Brei said. "That was Home on the Ridge. That made Nizy a keeper."
Hear No Evil was a keeper, too, partly because of a strange ear problem that kept him out of the auction ring and gave him his name. The colt developed persistent blood blisters in his ears that required aggressive treatment.
"They were a mess," Brei said of the colt's ears. "It took more than one surgery to get rid of the problem, and then we had to tape up his ears like a dog who's had his ears cropped. His ears lopped over like a hound's. We decided that if the other horses were laughing at him, he probably couldn't hear them speaking evil, and that's how he got his name."
Flower Garden, the dam of Crimson and Roses, also proved to be more valuable than she first appeared. When the Breis bought her for $25,000 at the 1997 Ocala Breeders' Sales Company October sale, they liked her conformation but understood her pedigree was lacking.
"Her dam had gone to Japan years ago and hadn't been heard from since, so there was a black hole in her pedigree," Brei said. "We bought her from Bridlewood Farm, and I talked to a fellow who had worked there for years and remembered the dam, and he thought she was a nice mare. But the black hole created a little difficulty in booking Flower Garden to a top stallion."
Brei said he talked Adena Springs into letting them breed the mare to El Prado because he was sending several other mares to Adena stallions the same year. The result was Crimson and Roses.
If Hear No Evil and Crimson and Roses happen to win on Million Day, those victories may help return Jacks or Better to the sale ring with plenty of fanfare. But, Brei says, the original policy still will apply.
"We will still sell a top horse for a fair dollar," Brei said. "But we won't give them away."

Heel Pain
Heel pain is the most common reason patients visit a podiatry office. Whether the pain is on the back or the bottom of the heel, it can become debilitating during both exercise and normal daily activities. Heel pain, commonly referred to as "Heel Spur Syndrome," can be caused by several different conditions, such as tendinitis, arthritis, nerve entrapment, stress fracture, or even bone cysts. However, the overwhelming majority of adults with heel pain have either Plantar Fasciitis or Achilles Tendinitis. The difference between the two is based on location:
Plantar Heel Pain (Bottom of Heel) - Plantar Fasciitis
Posterior Heel Pain (Back of Heel) - Achilles Tendinitis
Most cases of heel pain can be successfully treated without need for surgery, but an accurate diagnosis is necessary to ensure treatment success. Both use of X-Ray and Diagnostic Ultrasound can be beneficial in establishing a correct diagnosis. Click on the links below to discover more about the treatments for each particular type of heel pain.

When children experience heel pain, it is rarely from one of the above conditions, and is most likely caused by inflammation of the growth plate. CLICK HERE to Learn More About Heel Pain in Children.

How much would you pay for a drink that promises to revitalize your mind and body, elevate your energy or give you the focus you need to cross every item off your to-do list? Catching a third wind is priceless, which is why energy-drink sales are in the billions each year. But there may be a hidden cost.
As sales skyrocket, so do energy-drink-related emergency room visits: Between 2007 and 2011, they doubled from about 10,000 to nearly 21,000 visits. In a recent study from the University of Southern California — which randomly sampled emergency room patients — a third of patients who reported downing energy drinks had adverse reactions ranging from heart palpitations to chest pain to seizures.
Even more frightening, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received reports of at least 15 deaths related to energy drinks. Although there's no proof linking these negative reactions to drinking an energy drink, "no one really knows how dangerous (energy drinks) are," says Michael Jacobson, Ph.D., executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Washington, D.C. "They certainly raise a caution flag about drinking too much (caffeine) too quickly."
In fact, the FDA recently launched an investigation into the safety of caffeine added to food and beverages.
Contrary to what you might think, these purported power drinks aren't just being guzzled by frat boys. Actually, the largest increase in energy-drink-related ER visits was in people over 40.
Why? Energy drinks may deliver an instant jolt that java doesn't.
"Some contain large amounts of caffeine. And they're consumed differently than coffee. (Energy drinks) are gulped, rather than sipped," says Jacobson.
And that's exactly where the problem lies.
"In the ER, we'll usually see somebody who has heart palpitations or maybe hand or body tremors from drinking too many. However, we have seen a few patients who've had seizures," says Sean Nordt, M.D., Pharm.D., director of toxicology at USC's Keck School of Medicine, Department of Emergency Medicine.

Support Ameena Matthews, star of The Interrupters, in her fight with multiple myeloma
September 8, 2014 2:32 pm
Ameena Matthews, subject of our 2011 film The Interrupters, has revealed she has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and we're appealing for financial support to cover her medical costs.
You can support Ameena directly with a donation at: http://www.gofundme.com/protector.
The fundraising page explains that Ameena has been deemed ineligible for health coverage, and that she is no longer an employee of Ceasefire, the violence prevention organized featured in The Interrupters.
Ameena inspired thousands of people with her presence in the film, gaining accolades including the Chicago Tribune's "Chicagoan of the Year in Film," selection as one of TIME magazine's "Top 10 movie performances of 2011," a "Freedom from Fear" Award from Roosevelt Institute, and the Community Activist Award at the BET Black Girls Rock!, where she stole the show.
We are doing what we can to support our friend and collaborator in this moment of need. If you were moved by Ameena's story, please help her now by donating, and by sharing the fundraising page.*
*A note on the fundraising page: We have received some questions with regards to the launch date of the fund for Ameena. It is our understanding that the page was originally created in October 2013 by Masjid Al Hafeez (Ameena's family mosque) to raise funds for a different cause, and then recently adapted after Ameena made the decision to publicly seek help. Our understanding is that Ameena's doctor recommends she receive a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible and this is an urgent situation.

Scale drives the bold, large-format watercolors David Antonides produces: "I might use between 80 and 200 liters of water, repeatedly applying washes and working the paper a lot." A recent project saw the Berlin-based Canadian artist take this technique even further, leaving his paper outside in the rain before painting on it, then returning it to the elements. "By the end, the paper had such a great feel. It's good to collaborate with the paper. Working together leads to some interesting surprises."
Formerly a tech pioneer, cofounding a wireless-technology company in 1984, Antonides sold his business after 12 years at the helm. "I didn't hesitate in what I wanted to do next. I wanted to paint."
He studied in Vancouver before training at The Art Students League of New York, whose alumni include Roy Lichtenstein and Jackson Pollock. It was here he moved from figurative work to the cityscapes for which he is now best known, and first began working on a grand scale.
"A teacher commented that I looked so constrained and suggested I try using a larger size of paper. As soon as I did I felt my work open up."
To me there's something beautiful in that contrast between delicacy and strength
Antonides takes a particular pleasure in defying the conventions of watercolor, both through the scale and drama of his work, and by using steel brushes and other tools to "disturb" the paper.
"Many watercolors are painted in a fragile way. They are the sort of thing maybe your aunt would do on a Sunday afternoon. But I prefer to make them dense and powerful. It's a way of pushing the medium in a different direction. Sometimes I know where a piece is going to go, sometimes I don't. To me there's something beautiful in that contrast between delicacy and strength."

Jeff Foxworthy once said that "if you've ever taken a beer to a job interview, you might be a redneck."
Well, if you've ever been diagnosed with a liver disorder, you might need a flu shot. And while that line probably won't be killing it at any comedy shows, it could help you avoid some serious suffering.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most flu victims recover after a week or two. But some people are at greater risk for complications that result in hospitalization or worse. Here are some of the people the CDC says have a high risk of flu complications – and therefore, the people who most need to get vaccinated:
- Older than 65 or younger than 5 (and especially younger than 2). The CDC recommends the flu vaccine for every child over six months old. Some children will need special vaccination procedures if they're between six months and 8 years old. See this website for more details.
- Pregnant women. While the flu shot is safe for pregnant women, they should not be given the nasal spray vaccine.
- Native Americans and Alaskan Natives.
- People with a number of medical conditions including asthma, lung disease, heart disease, a weakened immune system, and morbid obesity. You can see the full list from the CDC here.
And by the way, if you frequently interact with high-risk people, do them a favor and get yourself vaccinated, too. Maybe you work with young children, for example. In other words, with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy:
"If you spend more time discussing Dora the Explorer than your stock portfolio, you might need a flu shot."
Thank you. I'll be here all week. And when you're ready to get that flu shot, head to a FastMed Urgent Care location near you. We can have you vaccinated for just $20 in almost no time flat.
