Rhinehart, the chairman of the Onondaga Legislature, listens during a discussion of the new sales tax distribution during an April 15, 2010, Legislature meeting. Rhinehart is stepping down after six years on the Legislature. He said he believes strongly in term limits for elected officials. Since the county has no term limits, Rhinehart is imposing one on himself.Syracuse, NY The Onondaga County Legislature will have a transfusion of new blood next year, and its political impact could be significant.At least eight incumbents will not be returning to the Legislature next year, when the lawmaking body shrinks from 19 members to 17. Political observers say that the greatest turnover about half its membership that the Legislature has ever experienced.is unusually dramatic, said Legislator Kevin Holmquist, R Manlius, who has no opposition in his bid for re election. is a lot in one year. new blood opens the door to new votes on the county recurring issues, such as spending and taxes, off track betting and consolidation of government services. It also offers a chance for County Executive Joanie Mahoney, a Republican, to change her occasionally contentious relationship with the Legislature, where her party holds a 12 7 majority.Eight incumbents four Republicans and four Democrats are not seeking re election. Three others two Republicans and one Democrat face election opponents. And Wednesday night, the county Republican Committee may have added one more to the list of incumbents who will not be on the November ballot.The committee endorsed LaFayette town councilman David Knapp over attorney Robert Cox, of Pompey, for the District 12 seat. County Executive Joanie Mahoney appointed Cox in March to fill the vacancy created when Robert DeMore became director of the county Division of Community Development.Cox said Friday he plans to challenge Knapp in a primary election.Each of the eight leaving give different reasons. Some say they done it long enough. One is running for a different office. One is leaving for health reasons. Another was blamed by party committee members for a sharp hike in county property taxes this year.But one thing is certain: The Legislature will be losing a lot of institutional knowledge. The eight incumbents exiting have a combined 99 years of service in the Legislature.View full sizeThe Post StandardWho's staying and who's going on the Onondaga County Legislature.Legislator Robert Warner, R Van Buren, who is leaving after 21 years, said the lack of experience next year could strengthen Mahoney hand because new legislators may be reluctant to challenge her, especially on budget matters, at first.a learning curve that goes along with the job, said Warner, who has clashed with Mahoney on budget and other issues since she became county executive in 2008. been there over 20 years and I still learning things. dropped his plans to seek re election when it became apparent that he was not going to get the Republican committee endorsement. He blamed anger over a change in the county sales tax distribution formula that resulted in sharp increases in property taxes in his district.Legislator Mark Stanczyk, D Syracuse, the longest serving county lawmaker, agreed the loss of institutional knowledge is a negative. budget is over $1 billion a year, said Stanczyk, who has served in the Legislature for 30 years and is seeking re election. not a small enterprise. the other hand, he said a fresh sets of eyes and a of the political deck could be a good thing. For example, he said the influx of new members could give Mahoney, a Republican, an opportunity to improve her sometimes rocky relationship with members of her own party in the Legislature.Legislature Chairman James Rhinehart, R Skaneateles, who is leaving after six years in office, said the personnel changes will be good for county government. can say it will lose a lot of experience, but I think it will gain a lot of new ideas and new energy, he said. it a trade off. who served as mayor of Skaneateles before joining the Legislature in 2005, is among the Republican lawmakers who have had their differences with Mahoney. But he said that has nothing to do with his decision not to seek re election.He said he believes strongly in term limits for elected officials. Unlike the city of Syracuse, the county has no term limits. So Rhinehart is imposing one on himself. is good, he said.Mahoney said she welcomes the opportunity to start anew with the Legislature after four years of rocky relations that began when she ran her successful primary campaign against the Republican Committee endorsed candidate for county executive seven term legislator Dale Sweetland.

The thought of pounding the pavement and shaking off the stress of the day without setting foot in a gym is incredibly alluring. Unfortunately, when I've tried my hand (feet?) at running in the past, I've tended to be rather crap tacular at it (think crippling stitches after 500 metres). But I'm determined to turn things around in 2014 and get my jog on, like the gorgeous Laura Dundovic. "I run my whole life I did athletics and cross country as a kid and still love doing it now," says Laura. "Running is a great stress relief for me and actually gives me lots of energy afterwards." Running has becoming increasingly popular amongst women of all ages. And it's no surprise really we're busier than ever, so an outlet like jogging that allows us to exercise when we want, where we want is priceless. But it's not just the convenience factor that makes running so attractive it's also great for the mind and body. "In addition to the well known physical benefits, running is proven to increase feelings of well being, reduce anxiety and assist in overcoming depression," says Serra Burmin, exercise lover and Head Group Trainer at Fitness Playground in Sydney's Surry Hills. "Running is a physical and emotional release, where you release stress and feel good hormones named endorphins. For many, this acts as a form of meditation where you can be alone with your thoughts and get away from the phone, job and kids. For the modern woman there is never enough 'You Time,' let alone time for the gym or a structured exercise routine. Running is the perfect excuse to get out of the house, get some fresh air and clear your head before or after a long day." Keen to give running a go? Here are some tips to help get you started: Forget the treadmill get outside and get in touch with nature. "We live in such a beautiful country with great weather, and for those who work indoors all day, running outside can be great for the body and mind," says Serra. Invest in a well made pair of runners, and make sure an expert fits you. "Everyone is different, so I recommend going to a store where you can be fitted correctly," says Serra. "It's important to have a pair of shoes that are supportive and that help promote a natural running stride." Treat yourself to workout clothes that fit well, wear well, and inspire you to get active. "I recommend wearing clothing that is made from 'Dri Fit' fabric," says Serra. In saying that, if you're on a tight budget all you really need is a good pair of shoes and a supportive sports bra." Make sure you keep yourself hydrated before and after your run to help avoid dehydration and fatigue. "Some of us drink loads of water all day, but are still dehydrated due to poor water retention, so mineralising your water helps you remain hydrated," says Serra. "Water with a little pinch of sea salt is going to be your best friend. Celtic or Himalayan sea salt is good for re mineralising water. I add 1/4 of a tablespoon of salt per litre of water as a general rule, if you can taste the salt you put too much in. Also, be cautious of sports drinks, as many contain high levels of sugar, so be sure to check the label. In addition to drinking plenty of water, Laura Dundovic recommends listening to your body to get a feel for your hydration levels. "I am very aware of early changes in my body that mean I am getting dehydrated, like dry lips." Create a fun and upbeat iPod playlist to help keep you motivated during your run. "A recent study showed that people get 20% more out of their workouts when they listen to music they enjoy," says Serra. Beyonc Drunk In Love and A$AP Rocky Fashion Killa are on high rotation on Laura Dundovic iPod. Get happy appy! "Track your workouts using one of the many running apps available for your smart phone," recommends Serra. "This will allow you to set a time or distance goal. Start small and then look to build on it each and every workout." Laura Dundovic is also a fan of running apps. "Use the Nike+ app, it will track your running so you can pace yourself." Keep things interesting by shaking up your workout routine. Try changing between running based workouts and resistance based workouts. "My view is that all runners should have some resistance training within their weekly program," says Serra. "Resistance training will not only help create good shape, strength and tone in your body, but also increases your metabolism which makes your body burn fat more efficiently. Sports specific resistance training can also make you run faster and assist in injury prevention." Once you've been running for a few months, register for a fun run. "There is nothing more motivating than knowing you have to run 7km 14km in a few weeks," says Serra. "This will keep you on track and help to take your training to a new level." Consider signing up for an event like the Swisse Colour Run, or NikeSheRuns, which Laura Dundovic is excited to participate in this Saturday May 3rd. Nike Roshe Run Men Grey Blue Quilted,Your beau probably one of a dozen who were smitten with you has finally popped the question and the big day is set for next year, which is actually not that far off. But what are the hot wedding dress trends for 2010 and beyond? There's no big secret, and you can find out what they are by continuing to read on. Generally speaking, there are several nice looking styles on the horizon for 2010 and beyond. Some are sleek, with low hemlines, and others are more non traditional and very modern appearing. There are yet other dresses that are pretty much unchanged in appearance since their general look developed several decades ago. Here are a few things to know about these dresses in 2010: There'll always be a place for the traditional looking wedding dress. With a slightly billowy look and fabric that sometimes seems heavily woven, and always in white, these dresses are appropriate for almost any wedding, which isn't the case for other dresses which are currently hot. Wedding dress trends these days are highly flexible and diverse. If you choose, you can go for the most currently popular style, which is a sleek silhouette, and perfect for a person of slim build and dimensions. These dresses are what are called "figure hugging," so make sure the body matches the dress. Top designers in this style are Justin Alexander and Maggie Sottero. If you're feeling a little like you were a star of the silver screen in one of your past lives, then a 50s style wedding dress is definitely for you. It shows off a belted waistline, with a hem that drops nearly to the floor, or even beyond. Some, however, drop to about the knees, but also have a layer of very sheer fabric which serves to highlight the legs and the hem. A couple of fine designers in this line are Stephanie Allin and Suzanne Ermann. Tea length wedding dresses are ideal for the wedding that's a bit less traditional and a bit more modern in character. They have hems that fall just below the knees, for the most part, and work well when you want to show off your legs and an expensive pair of shoes, perhaps. They also have bodices that work well to highlight your available assets while also being more than demure and appropriate for a wedding. Top shelf designers of these sorts of dresses are Leigh Hetherington and Allan Hanna. Single shoulder dresses are also projected to be popular for 2010. They present an asymmetrical look that seeks to accentuate the neck and the shoulders, so take a bit of time to tone and firm those two spots up. With a single shoulder strap, they're also a good choice for destination weddings. Wedding dress styles today have never been more diverse or exciting, and the trend appears to be just as exciting in the coming years, especially in 2010. You can choose from very traditional (with a veil and tiara) to something less traditional, like a tea length dress or a 50s style gown. Take a bit of time to look over what you think would be ideal for you and then wear it proudly.

Within team delegation, it is critical to understand the potential risk. You can do this by simply creating a risk list. What is a risk list? It is a list, in order of importance, of the areas of significant risk for a given objective or project. It is important to understand the consequences (to the project, team, or organization) if the tasks do not get done. There are several types of risk including: staff related or technical, such as a late delivery of critical components. Look at the big picture for your project when you are assessing the risks. When determining risks, anything that might affect successful delivery of the project is a risk. At the first sign of trouble, you must be ready to assist the team in risk reduction. Risk management includes monitoring the overall health of the project, but keep autonomy in place for the delegated tasks and their owners. This can be a tricky, but it is easier once you understand the steps to follow when risk arises. When I first started delegating project roles, I did it out of necessity, not any great management style. I was working way too much, and with a global team, things were getting stuck in a holding pattern until I was able to deal with them. I needed global people on the team to keep things moving. To do this well, I needed to understand the potential risks when delegated tasks went off course. Any task runs the risk of getting off schedule. The most importance step of risk management is to have a clear process communicated before the problem arises. That way, you are not tempted to step back in and take control at the first missed milestone. Now, once you know these problems and you've created these steps, you need to create a process to correct them. These steps include: 1. Fully understand the problem. 2. Ensure that the person you've delegated to has the confidence to resume the task. 3. Provide support and suggestions, but keep the delegated role within the individual's ownership. 4. Help them develop a procedure to prevent any recurrence of the problem. Ownership You can't Delegate Now that we have covered the joy of delegating it is time watch the other shoe drop. There are certain things that you just cannot delegate as a manager. The most important, of course, is your leadership. You also need to maintain ownership of any kind of reward system for your team, whether it is based on project or as an annual review. Concentrate your management effort on exceptions. Don't micromanage the day to day. But if there's problems or if they get off track, be ready to step in and provide the necessary support. But overall, the bottom line is that this is your team, your project, your department, so you have that ultimate responsibility. You should also retain ownership and not delegate strategic planning. You need to make sure that the entire team is involved and understands your path and your direction. But that ownership is really left up to you as the manager. Take the time to manage the risks and your delegation will go smoothly. Nike Roshe Run Men Grey Blue Quilted SAN DIEGO For one day at least, the moderate payroll San Diego Padres are in first place in the NL West, ahead of the big spending Los Angeles Dodgers. Seth Smith hit a towering drive for a tying homer leading off the eighth and Chris Denorfia singled home two runs to give the Padres a 3 1 victory against the rival Dodgers in baseball's North American opener Sunday night. Smith's first hit with the Padres came on a 2 0 pitch from Brian Wilson, who started the eighth after Hyun Jin Ryu threw seven scoreless innings. It sailed an estimated 360 feet into the right field seats. It was his seventh career pinch hit homer. He was acquired in an off season trade with Oakland for reliever Luke Gregerson. Wilson (0 1) walked pinch hitter Yasmani Grandal, who advanced when the veteran reliever couldn't handle Everth Cabrera's bunt for an error. Grandal stole third and Cabrera took second on indifference before Denorfia hit a bouncer up the middle to bring them both in. "They're all just one game, but when you're facing a team like the Dodgers, full of great players, Brian Wilson, a guy who knows how to get it done in those situations, it's not easy to do what our hitters did," said Huston Street, who pitched a perfect ninth for the save. "To come back and get three right there in that situation, especially after leaving guys on base early, that's what this team is going to have to do to win. We're going to have to battle all year long." The Dodgers set a record with an opening day payroll of $234 million. The Padres are 23rd at just under $90 million. Street said he has no problem with the discrepancy. "They've got a lot of talent and their talent has earned those salaries," Street said. "They're not just given. At the same time, a lot of guys in this locker room are young guys. They haven't hit that free agency mark. They haven't hit those big salary years. We could be sitting on a higher payroll team. You don't worry about it too much just because baseball is such a game of execution." Dale Thayer (1 0) pitched a perfect eighth for the win. Smith was acquired to provide a left handed bat off the bench. He went deep on a cutter. "You get in the box and it's an at bat," he said. "As a professional ballplayer you hope that you can kind of flush the fact that it's your first at bat with your team or it's in a big spot or whatever, and just do what you've been practicing for the last six weeks." Wilson said it was tough to deal with because Ryu "pitched such a marvelous game. It's a hard one to swallow." He said he threw a pitch "that was a little bit uncharacteristic of me. Right then and there, the tire deflated." The defending NL West champion Dodgers had started the regular season with a two game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks in Sydney. Ryu got the start after reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw was scratched due to a swollen back muscle and then placed on the 15 day disabled list for the first time in his seven year career. In a scheduling quirk, the left hander started consecutive regular season games. He made his season debut a week earlier, when the Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks in their second game in Australia. Ryu retired 16 in a row from the second inning until one out in the seventh. He then walked rookie Tommy Medica, who was then erased in a 3 6 3 double play. Ryu allowed three hits, struck out seven and walked three. The Dodgers grabbed the lead on a nice piece of hitting by Carl Crawford with two out in the fifth. Cashner allowed four hits in six innings. He struck out five and walked two. NOTES: The Padres renamed the broadcast portion of the press box the Jerry Coleman Broadcast Center in memory of the Hall of Fame broadcaster who died on Jan. 5 at 89. His widow, Maggie, and daughter, Chelsea, threw out the ceremonial first pitches. . Sunday night's attendance of 45,567 set the Petco Park single game record. . Padres manager Bud Black said LF Carlos Quentin's time on the disabled list will go beyond April 10, when he'd be eligible to be activated. He was placed on the DL on Saturday, retroactive to March 25, with a bone bruise in his left knee. Quentin was hurt diving for a ball in a spring training game. . Monday is an off day. Tuesday's scheduled starters are Zack Greinke for Los Angeles and Ian Kennedy for San Diego.
