Emotions - Thermometer or Thermostat?
In a previous article, George Anderson discussed emotional intelligence as a critical factor in anger management interventions. I want to suggest that true anger management cannot take place without emotional intelligence. Anger is a secondary emotion and is therefore driven by other emotions. Understanding the emotions that drive our anger is critical in their management.True anger management demands that we recognize our emotions and consciously decide our actions. Emotions are fascinating because they are a way of communicating with the world. They give us clues about what we love, cherish and the things that we less regard for.

pulling away when asked. That style clearly works very well for him, but he has put it into action against smaller fields than the 14 he will likely face at Churchill Downs. Much, then, will depend both on the post position he draws and the traffic he encounters in the race. It seems likely, however, that if he gets a smooth trip he is the horse to beat. It makes me just a bit nervous that that was exactly the same thought I had about another three-year-old who was the favorite

The Sprint is a cruel race. It will take just more than a minute to run on Breeders' Cup day, and in that short time you could see your dreams of riches crash to the ground. Overall, the favorites have won about 40 percent of the races in the 22-year history of the Breeders' Cup, which is well above what we see on regular race days, but only five favorites have won the sprint, a 23 percent rate. The winner of this race often seems to come from nowhere - five winners in the last 10 years have gone off at 10/1 or better. The most mystifying result recently was in 2003 when Cajun Beat won at 23/1 and topped a $380 exacta.

When you are watching the Sprint, you have to keep in mind that Churchill Downs is a little different than most tracks, or you will be convinced that the pace is way too fast. Because of how the track is set up, the time in six-furlong races doesn't actually start until the horses are 140 feet out of the gate. That means that by the time the clock is running the horses are up to full speed. The first quarter will likely be noticeably faster than what you would expect because of that. It also means that the race is actually about 6-1/4 furlongs, so front-runners have to hold on longer, and closers have more room to move.

Despite the fear of favorites in this race, this year's likely favorite is one that needs serious consideration. Henny Hughes is a 3-year-old making his second Breeders' Cup appearance after a second in last year's Juvenile to Stevie Wonderboy. After that race he returned to Dubai, where his owner, Sheik Rashid, lives, for the winter. Since returning stateside and shortening up to sprint distances, the horse has been a monster. He won on July 1 at Monmouth by 10 lengths under a hand ride, and was just as dominant in wins at Saratoga and Belmont.

Henny Hughes seems to like to settle just off the pace before moving to the lead on the final turn and pulling away when asked. That style clearly works very well for him, but he has put it into action against smaller fields than the 14 he will likely face at Churchill Downs. Much, then, will depend both on the post position he draws and the traffic he encounters in the race. It seems likely, however, that if he gets a smooth trip he is the horse to beat. It makes me just a bit nervous that that was exactly the same thought I had about another three-year-old who was the favorite

A Nourished Scalp Brings About Healthy Hair
It is a mistaken belief that when dandruff falls from the scalp it indicates a diseased condition. Dandruff is merely the exfoliation of the scarf, or outer skin, with the dried oil and waste matter thrown off by the glands.One of the arguments against washing the hair is that it causes or increases dandruff. The fact is, dandruff was there before the scalp was washed, and the cleansing process merely dislodged it, so that its presence was more apparent.Perspiration has a very injurious effect upon the hair. Athletes, especially, are sufferers from it, as they usually come in from long runs or other active exercise with the

To Succeed Big as a Leader Think Small
"YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT? GET SOMEONE ELSE!" How often have you heard that (or maybe even said it yourself)? To succeed BIG as a leader you sometimes have to think small.Every small, menial or mundane task is a golden opportunity for you to gain recognition and respect that will more than compensate.When you feel you’re too important to help in some less than desirable necessary task, you’re only fooling yourself. You will never be too important to be exempt from doing something menial that has to be done. So, accept it and do it graciously. The upside is that it’s what helps to build character and make you a stronger leade

Leadership: Wisdom of the Ages
If you gather 100 experienced leaders together to share with you their most important secrets for success, you probably wouldn’t hear a lot of academic theory or jargon. Instead, this is a good idea of what you’d hear:1) Put ethics first. If you make unethical decisions for short-term gain, you will lose in the end. Let your principles guide you in the many decisions you must make regarding business practices and people. You will regret it if you don’t.2) Surround yourself with the best people you can find. If you are able to attract the brightest, most dedicated, most talented people, they will move your

The biggest threat to the favorite, on paper at least, is west coast invader Bordonaro. The five-year-old has won nine of his last 11 races, all over sprint distances, and all in California. Unlike Henny Hughes, Bordonaro is pure speed - he's happiest when he gets the lead early, and he usually manages to stay there. He comes into the race off of four weeks of rest, which is less than he normally gets. His connections must feel he is ready for a big run, though, because they had to pay to supplement him into this field.

Dubai Escapade will be challenging Bordonaro for the lead, and you will get a much better price on this horse than you will on the Californian. She's a filly, but that doesn't need to scare you off - three female horses have won the Sprint, and her sire, Awesome Again won the Classic in 1998, so she certainly isn't outclassed. She hasn't raced since Aug. 27, but what a race that was. She blew the field of the Ballerina at Saratoga away, winning by eight lengths and posting a Beyer rating of 115, which is higher than Henny Hughes has posted.

Chasing both the speed at the front and the stalkers will be Siren Lure, another California horse who is likely to go off as the third favorite. He has five wins in six starts this year, and all of them have been as a result of explosive moves launched from way off the pace. If he can stay clear of traffic and find room to move, then the long stretch at Churchill could set up well for him. The concern with him is that the distance is about a furlong too short for him.

Pomeroy is a horse that will likely get some attention. He has won three graded stakes since August of 2004, and all of them have been at Saratoga. Unfortunately for him, this year's Breeders' Cup isn't at Saratoga. He could very well f
