City pushing abandoned plant site for solar panel farm

COLUMBUS — The city of Columbus has asked the federal government to consider a solar panel farm at the former Kerr-McGee Chemical Plant.
The Commercial Dispatch reports the Environmental Protect Agency has agreed to study the site to determine what kind and whether a renewable energy facility can be built on the property.
The city is proposing a portable two-megawatt solar panel farm on 25 of the property's 90 acres. The farm would power one-fifth, or 2,000, of the city's 10,000 households.
The city also proposed an expansion to 50 acres if the EPA determines it is feasible, to provide energy for a community center, small businesses, community health center, parks and gardens.
The panels have a life span of 20 to 25 years.
The choice of the Kerr-McGee property is part of the EPA's $1 million RE-Powering America's Land Initiative. The Columbus site is one of 26 sites to be analyzed for its suitability for wind, solar, biomass or geothermal energy, according to the EPA.
In September, the EPA announced the Kerr-McGee plant had been added to its Superfund list, a program for cleaning up uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous waste sites.
The Columbus plant for many years had turned timber into railroad crossties soaked with creosote as a preservative. Creosote is a mix of heavy metals and cancer-causing dioxins.
The EPA has been scrutinizing the Kerr-McGee site since alarms were raised about possible contamination in the 1990s.
The plant opened in 1928 and was closed by Kerr-McGee in 2003.
After closing the Columbus facility, Kerr-McGee Corp. spun off its chemical division in 2005 and changed the name to Tronox.

Palestinians win implicit U.N. recognition of sovereign state
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The 193-nation U.N. General Assembly on Thursday overwhelmingly approved the de facto recognition of a sovereign Palestinian state after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called on the world body to issue its long overdue "birth certificate."
There were 138 votes in favor, nine against and 41 abstentions. Three countries did not take part in the vote to upgrade the Palestinian Authority's observer status at the United Nations to "non-member state" from "entity."
The assembly approved the upgrade despite threats by the United States and Israel to punish the Palestinians by withholding funds for the West Bank government. U.N. envoys said Israel might avoid harsh retaliation as long as the Palestinians did not seek to join the International Criminal Court.
The much-anticipated vote came after Abbas denounced Israel for its "aggressive policies and the perpetration of war crimes" from the U.N. podium, remarks that elicited a furious response from the Jewish state.
"Sixty-five years ago on this day, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 181, which partitioned the land of historic Palestine into two states and became the birth certificate for Israel," Abbas told the 193-nation assembly after receiving a standing ovation.
"The General Assembly is called upon today to issue a birth certificate of the reality of the State of Palestine," he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded quickly, condemning Abbas' critique of Israel as "hostile and poisonous," and full of "false propaganda."
"These are not the words of a man who wants peace," Netanyahu also said in a statement released by his office in Israel.
At least 17 European nations voted in favor of the Palestinian resolution, including Austria, France, Italy, Norway and Spain. Abbas had focused his lobbying efforts on Europe, which supplies much of the aid the Palestinian Authority relies on. Britain, Germany and others chose to abstain.
The Czech Republic was unique in Europe, joining the United States, Israel, Canada, Panama and tiny Pacific Island states likes Nauru, Palau and Micronesia in voting against the move.
After the vote, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice called for the immediate resumption of peace talks.
"The Palestinian people will wake up tomorrow and find that little about their lives has changed save that the prospects of a durable peace have only receded," she said.
"The United States calls upon both the parties to resume direct talks without preconditions on all the issues that divide them and we pledge that the United States will be there to support the parties vigorously in such efforts," Rice said.
She added that both parties should "avoid any further provocative actions in the region, in New York or elsewhere."

Zoe Saldana, of the Star Trek and Avatar soon-to-be-franchises, is looking to make a geeky hat trick by slotting a third major scifi series into her… bandolier? I guess? This mixed metaphor got away from me. What I'm trying to say is that according to the Hollywood Reporter, the actress is in talks to play the female lead in Guardians of the Galaxy, which, incidentally, would make her the first woman of color to play a major character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If Saldana and Marvel manage to work out an agreement, and I would be head over heels excited if they do, she'd come onto the project for the role of Gamora, an alien woman and the last of her race, raised by the Mad Titan Thanos as his deadliest assassin and adopted daughter, known as "the deadliest woman in the galaxy." In comics, the character eventually realigns herself with the Guardians of the Galaxy (who generally find themselves at odds with the fickle Thanos). Gamora is basically humanoid (with one of those costumes that will have to be seriously reconsidered before it debuts on the big screen) but with green skin, the cynically obvious role to court an actress of color for if you're trying to inject some racial diversity into an adaptation of a medium without a lot of racial diversity. I'm not here to (so to speak) look a gift horse in the mouth, but I feel it bears pointing out. I'm actually glad Marvel is taking the obvious opportunity for racial diversity here, especially since they declined to take the obvious step towards better gender diversity for their universe in Guardians by including only one of the team's long running female members instead of two. Production on the movie is set to start in June, with a release late next summer, so hopefully we'll see an official announcement about Saldana's involvement in the next few weeks. (via The Hollywood Reporter.)
Zoe Saldana is in Talks to Play Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy
Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Yes.

Willie Nelson Tune Lands On List Of Most Unusual Funeral Songs
- Centennial Park, the largest provider of cemetery, crematorium, and memorial services in South Australia just released its top ten lists for the most popular and most unusual funeral songs and Willie Nelson rests at No. 8 on the "Most Unusual" list for the Percy Mayfield penned tune, "Hit the Road Jack" (although I can't seem to find the Willie version anywhere).
In discussing the unusual song list, Centennial Park CEO Bryan Elliot notes that the recent trend in funeral music is to choose musical selections that are less traditional and more personal in order to tailor the service to match the individuality of the recently deceased. For those wondering how guests and family members accept the appearance of a classic rock song at a somber ceremony, Elliot states that, "Some of the more unusual songs we hear actually work very well within the service, because they represent the person's character."
I wonder if we'd see more country music make the list if an American-based funeral provider followed Centennial's cue.
- The current cover story for Nashville Scene dives into Ringo Starr's 1970 country music album Beaucoups of Blues, describing in detail the recording sessions and events leading up to the album; Starr's second solo effort. Charlie Daniels played guitar for the session and credits the album for helping legitimize country music in the rock world.
- The fans at Country Fest 2008 in Cadott, Wis. were wooed by Blake Shelton with a special poem commemorating his festival experience.
- On the verge of breaking into the top ten for the first time, Miranda Lambert is enjoying her steady rise as a country star.
"I really was trying to build a strong foundation for myself. This is all I want to do. I really didn't care if I had one of those shoot-up-to-No. 1 singles," she says. "It really gives me a place to grow to and also validates me as an artist.
"I feel like I can breathe a little bit now. People are finally saying, 'OK, we understand what you do, and we accept it and we lift it up.' I think it just gives me the freedom to be who I am."
She's currently writing material for her next album, which she plans to have ready for an early 2009 release.
- Country Universe wants to know what country albums from the past 25 years you consider essential.
- Todd Snider refers to himself as a peace queer, which coincidentally is the title of his next album. He explains what it's all about:
"In six sentences, the record goes like this: Here's the kid being told everything's going to be great. Here's the reality of that. Here's that kid when he comes home a sad and banged-up and angry 'winner.' Here's the breakdown of why I think that's happening. Here's the guy in our culture that I think is causing that to happen, and it's not a president. And then here's what I think is going to happen to that guy. And then we roll credits."
- Ninebullets.net scored a studio cut from Chris Knight's upcoming Heart of Stone album, along with a few demo cuts from tracks that will be on the same album. Good stuff.

I love Todd Snider…does that make me a Todd Queer, or just Queer, either way, i'll take it??
Can't wait for the new Chris Knight album, along with the Bruce Robison album coming out next month.
…along with the new Micky and the Motorcars new album also!!
I live under the illusion that one day I will write a long article that places Todd Snider firmly in the country music songwriting tradition and exalts him as an archetype for the next generation of country songwriters to aspire to.
"Watch what you say to someone with nothing, it's almost like having it all"
-Todd Snider "Looking for a Job"
Ben, that would be a high aspiration indeed.
Didn't know there was going to be so many promising releases coming up in the next few months. Time to stock up on Ramen noodles to I can afford to buy them all.
The list of unusual funeral songs is great, and kudos to whoever picks "Highway to Hell" as a song choice. My funeral's soundtrack will definitely have Shaver's "Live Forever" and Steve Goodman's "Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" in it.
New Todd Snider and Chris Knight music…..I cannot wait.
Thanks for posting the link to that wonderful article about Ringo Starr's Nashville album, which I must admit I never heard of prior to today. I really liked The Beatles albums I purchased as a kid back in the 1960's and when they broke up I didn't pay attention to any of the former members as I figured their solo efforts could in no way measure up. If I ever come across a cheap used copy of Ringo's CD I might just purchase it out of curiosity…..
BOB is a great record, one of Starkey's best solo efforts (along with RINGO and CHOOSE LOVE). The ex-Beatles' solo catalogues are a mixed bag, but have some real killers in there: ALL THINGS MUST PASS, BAND ON THE RUN, WALLS AND BRIDGES, MEMORY ALMOST FULL, IMAGINE, PLASTIC ONO BAND, 33 1/3.

Recent Mount Rainier reviews
"This is our second stay in this home. The owner is professional and prompt- also fair. The first time, we were accidentally directed to the wrong home, and had to move all our stuff out (there was a lot- it was the end of a 6 week trip) to another house. She compensated us by giving a 1/2 night credit. The house is always immaculate and well maintained. Beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked. Small hot tub is very comfortable. We also did not have to pay extra when we had a last minute addition to the party. 4 people are covered by the fee. The housekeeper lives on site- a nice bonus. We ran our of garbage bags (there was originally only 1 extra, and we were there for 5 nights), and she promptly gave us more, saving a trip to the store."Guest: JH Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 27, 2014View listing
"We spent several days here in mid-July visiting family in Seattle and sightseeing and enjoyed the area immensely. The cabin has a nice deck and is clean. It's adequate to anyone's needs insofar as "base of operations" for whatever season-appropriate activity you may wish. The hot tub was great and the upstairs beds are comfortable. Do not expect "time-share-quality" furnishings and equipment though. It is furnished and equipped more in a family 'hand-me-down' style. While adequate, it is fairly Spartan should you find yourself caught indoors for more than a day. All-in-all, a great place to use as a home-base for enjoying the greater area and we would return here again."Guest: BobKat Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: July 29, 2014View listing
"We reached the cabin in the night still didn't have any difficulties locating the home. The home was exactly the same as the photos listed. The property was clean and well maintained. Only negative thing with this home is the no. of bath. I would definitely recommend this to my friends."Guest: tpspriya Date of Stay: June 2014 Review Submitted: June 18, 2014View listing
"Our relatives were visiting from Australia and looking for a place to enjoy the cold climate (wishing for snow) and see the local wildlife while relaxing before the holidays. This was the PERFECT getaway! The house is warm and inviting, entering the cabin and seeing the lovely decor AND the beautifully decorated Christmas tree was an absolute treat!. Everything was more than we expected. Close to town and not too far from White's Pass ski area...talked to the locals and found out where the herd of elk would be to satisfy our goal to see wildlife. This is defintely a place that I have and will share with my family and friends in the years to come. And Jan, Thank you so much for the pie tins...they came in handy with my plans for meals and treats."Guest: Beverley T. Date of Stay: December 2013 Review Submitted: January 6, 2014View listing

GAME NOTES: The Wright State Raiders take aim at their third win in a row as they visit the Beeghly Center for Horizon League action against the Youngstown State Penguins.
The Raiders coasted to a 73-57 victory over the Milwaukee Panthers on Tuesday to improve to a 13-9 overall record including a 5-2 conference mark, which puts them just 1.5 games back of the Horizon League leading Green Bay Phoenix. Wright State is just 2-8 in true road tests, but edged Cleveland State, 49-46, last Saturday in its most recent away game. Coach Billy Donlon's squad is pacing the Horizon League in scoring defense with an allowance of only 61 ppg, but it is also last in the conference in points per game (67.5).
Youngstown State has a very different system than the visitors as it leads the conference and ranks 34th nationally in scoring at 79.3 ppg and is also ranked 21st among Division I programs in assists per game (16.1). The Penguins had a three-game winning streak snapped on Thursday with a 74-71 setback to Valparaiso at home. The loss dropped Youngstown State down to a 12-9 standing with a 3-3 league record. Coach Jerry Slocum's team had won eight of its first nine games at the Beeghly Center before being bested by the Crusaders.
This will be the 48th meeting in history between these schools. Wright State owns a 38-9 all-time series lead. The Penguins and Raiders will square off again at Wright State on Feb. 5.
WSU received a strong showing from Jerran Young in its 16-point victory over Milwaukee. The 6-foot-6 senior forward posted 19 points while A.J. Pacher tallied 12 points. Cole Darling added 11 points and eight rebounds and Reggie Arceneaux continued to shine in the backcourt as he finished with nine points, five assists and a pair of steals. The Raiders connected on 45 percent of their field goal attempts and forced the Panthers into 16 turnovers. They put the game out of reach early and led, 39-21, at the intermission. Pacher is the only player on WSU averaging double-figures in the scoring column at 10.5 ppg, but the team has the deepest rotation in the conference which makes it hard for any individual Raider to stand out as the top scoring threat.
The Penguins had a nine-point advantage on the scoreboard over Valpo at halftime on Thursday before converting a total of just nine field goals over the final 20 minutes of the contest. YSU was paced by Bobby Hain who tallied 16 points and cleared eight rebounds in 23 minutes of action. Kendrick Perry chipped in 15 points, Ryan Weber 14 and DJ Cole 12 points. Perry, who was the 2014 Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year, went just 2-of-8 at the free-throw line in the loss. The senior guard is still averaging a career-high 20.9 ppg on 52 percent efficiency from the field and already owns the school record for career steals with 226. Kamren Belin is second on the team in both scoring and rebounding with 11.8 ppg and 4.4 rpg.
Whichever team manages to control the pace of the game will have a huge advantage in this one. A hot start by YSU could force the Raiders out of their comfort zone, but finding success on the offensive end against WSU is not a regular occurrence. However, Perry is very rarely contained and is due for a big game after being held under the 20-point mark in consecutive outings.

First families return to PeckŌĆÖs Beach Village
Written by Cindy Nevitt Thursday, February 07, 2013 02:00 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
OCEAN CITY ŌĆö Although there was no ŌĆ£Move that busŌĆØ chant, and there were no celebrities to welcome home Tabatha Wilson and her three teenage offspring, the moment the family returned to PeckŌĆÖs Beach Village was as poignant as any episode of the television series ŌĆ£Extreme Home Makeover.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I started crying when I saw it, like on that TV show,ŌĆØ said Wilson, who admitted to being overcome by emotion when she first walked through the front door of her unit at 403 Haven Ave. on Saturday, Feb. 2. ŌĆ£I couldn't believe itŌĆÖs over. I couldn't believe it was so nice. It was overwhelming.ŌĆØ
Wilson, along with her children, Whitney, 19; Courtney, 16; and Gregory, 16, had been displaced from the only home the children had ever known when they evacuated the island in advance of Hurricane Sandy, which struck on Oct. 29, 2012. Upon returning to their two-story, three-bedroom home three days after the storm, they discovered flood waters had reached as high the doorknob on their front door.
ŌĆ£It blew you away with the smell,ŌĆØ Wilson said of venturing into the destroyed unit to salvage what few possessions she could from the damaged downstairs living quarters. ŌĆ£I never smelled anything that bad.ŌĆØ
Wilson and her children said Wednesday evening that they believe they were the first of the housing developmentŌĆÖs tenants to receive the key to their refurbished home, and that they may be the only tenants who are fully moved in. Their unit, one of 10 odd-numbered units between 401 and 419, is among the first in the 60-unit complex to be completed with new walls, new vinyl flooring, a new heater in a closet behind an upgraded door, and all new kitchen appliances, including a GE gas stove, refrigerator, microwave and toaster. A wooden cabinet that hangs above the refrigerator is the only thing contractors need to install in the unit, and Wilson needs to purchase a dinette set and living room furniture.
ŌĆ£Things take time,ŌĆØ she said of finishing the sparsely furnished lower level.
The city of Ocean City funded the approximately $1.5 million in repairs to the federally subsidized housing complex, which receives the bulk of its financial support from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. City administrators have said they hope to be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for most of the cost of restoring some of the islandŌĆÖs hardest-hit residents to their homes.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm thankful for FEMA and the cityŌĆÖs help,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£I was experiencing horrible panic attacks because I lost my apartment and I lost my car, but with all the help we got, I was able to sleep at night.ŌĆØ
Wilson also thanked Wesley Manor for housing the family and their toy poodle, Kobe, for the four days immediately after their return to town, and offered thanks to the Rev. Gregory Johnson and 2nd Ward Councilman Antwan McClellan for their help. Kobe went to live with WilsonŌĆÖs brother in Northfield after the family was relocated to WatsonŌĆÖs Regency.
The city ordered all residents of PeckŌĆÖs Beach Village, the low-income housing development located in the 300 and 400 blocks behind West Avenue, vacate by 5 p.m. Nov. 5, 2012 for mold remediation and reconstruction.
ŌĆ£It was hard around the holidays,ŌĆØ Wilson said of being away from the home the family had occupied since 1997. Wilson has been a resident of PeckŌĆÖs Beach Village since 1984, originally living with her mother before getting her own unit. ŌĆ£It was very hard. We had to do a lot of things to keep our minds occupied.ŌĆØ
She praised Mayor Jay Gillian for being a man of his word.
ŌĆ£He said he was going to do it and he stood up to it,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£He said he canŌĆÖt sleep comfortable at night knowing we didn't have a place to sleep. He really did mean what he said.ŌĆØ
As grateful as she is for all of the assistance she and her family have been given, Wilson has no desire to repeat the last few months.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs been an experience all right,ŌĆØ she said, ŌĆ£but I donŌĆÖt want to go through it again.ŌĆØ

Chess Mentor is the best
I actually don't think very highly of chess mentor, but that is my personal opinion.
I love chees mentor
as a 14-year old, do you think highly of ANYTHING that requires patience? :D
I hate it so much. If, after a lil' bit of struggling, I think I have the correct answer ("tac-tac-tac-winnig position!") it says to me "go play checkers"
Oh, the same for tactics trainer.
It's hate-love of course. I believe that these instruments (among others) are teaching me a lot.
I love it a lot
instructional to all who want it.
Great you love chess mentor I do too
now can I ask you: what was the poing of this post?
not sure, but eric's comment made it worth while.
I was only eight when I wrote this so don't blame me
I am turning 12
hmm If only i had the money ...
for what?
I find it very useful and instructive.
Its mostly why I went diamond. The other perks are great too, but Chess Mentor was the biggest reason.
Sorry to bump a 2 year old thread. Didn't notice that until after I posted.
Neither did i
I love cheese mentor too.
Oh man, this was created so long ago lol. Dang I was 9 or 10 years old back then
Chess mentor is showing me error since about the last 4-5 days. It is showing the message that 'I have completed the maximum no. of lessons for the day'. Earlier I used to get one lesson, as I am free member. But now that has stopped. Is it OK ? Or, should I continue to get one free lesson everyday, as usual ? Thanks for help.
Good resources but try to improve mentor by training different ways like adding more opening variation strategies.

Just when we thought he was down with the brown
Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte is said to be so embarrassed by his relationship with Love & Hip-Hop ATL's K. Michelle, that he is trying to keep it under wraps for as long as possible.
We reported earlier this week that the reality star was dating the swimmer, whom she has been friends with for several years, but sources have now come forward to say he is questioning their romance as she is too "ghetto" for him and could damage his public image.
"K Michelle is real hood . . . that's not the image he wants to portray. Besides it's never good for a handsome man to tell people that he has a girlfriend," an insider told sources.
Despite Ryan's mother recently saying the athlete was too busy for a relationship, the video clip below shows K. Michelle revealing she is "dating a white guy" who "is a swimmer."
Ryan may be trying to "Swim Good" with his reality star boo on the low but K.Michelle recently put their relationship on full blast at an event, revealing she is "dating a white guy" who "is a swimmer."
Do you think K.Michelle's relationship with the grilled out medalist could hurt his Olympic public image?

Non-compliant wineries warned
Relevant offers
Wineries are not putting enough resources into managing their wastewater, council environment committee chairman Peter Jerram says.
Mr Jerram said yesterday that the Marlborough District Council wanted to send a clear message that the council expected more to be done to ensure wineries met their resource consent conditions.
A report to yesterday's environment committee meeting said only 2 wineries were fully compliant with their resource consent conditions. Another 10 had only minor breaches, and 25 were non-compliant.
Non-compliant wineries were spread across Marlborough.
Council staffer Jane Robertson said there was an increase in the amount of fruit processed in the vintage, but no adverse environmental impacts were seen.
There had been meetings with wineries to make sure they were aware of the council's expectations for this year's vintage, she said.
Councillor Geoff Evans said the decline in compliance was a concern, as did councillor Jamie Arbuckle, who said it might be time to consider enforcement action.
Ms Robertson said the Sustainable Wine (SWINZ) programme run by New Zealand Winegrowers consulted the council about compliance, and if a winery was not meeting requirements, it faced yearly re-auditing.
"There is a consequence for not complying with council resource consents."
Mr Jerram said the the wine industry had very few adverse environmental effects.
However, winery wastewater did need cleaning up.
"They need to put more resources into making sure their waste is dealt with so they have no environmental effects," he said.

On Thursday afternoon, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that film critic Roger Ebert had passed away at the age of 70. Ebert, who was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer in 2002, wrote on Tuesday that a "painful fracture," which had made it difficult for him to walk, had been diagnosed as a cancer. He had planned to treat it with radiation.
In what turned out to be his final post at the Chicago Sun-Times — which had regularly published his film criticism since 1967 — Ebert announced that he would take what he called "a leave of presence." Beginning his column with the words "thank you," he said he would add more voices to his website in order to make up for the fact that he would be writing fewer reviews:
Today, because of technology, the opportunities to become bigger, better and reach more people are piling up too. The fact that we're re-launching the site now, in the midst of other challenges, should give you an idea how important Rogerebert.com and Ebert Digital are to Chaz and me. I hope you'll stop by, and look for me. I'll be there.
So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me. I'll see you at the movies.

3-on-3 basketball growing in popularity
Relevant offers
Rugby has sevens, cricket has T20, and now basketball's abbreviated version is hoping to ride a wave of success all the way to the Olympics.
3-on-3 basketball is getting a serious push from international governing body Fiba, with plans already in motion to have the short-form version of the world's second most popular sport fast- tracked all the way to the Olympics, a la beach volleyball.
And the wave of popularity surrounding this fast-paced street version of the game, which has been around for decades, is already being felt in New Zealand where Auckland-based, Basketball NZ-backed organiser Glen Green faces such demand for events that he simply can't keep up.
Green, who runs 3-on-3 tournaments and exhibitions through his There's A Better Way community programme, has brought out three acclaimed New York streetballers to feature in his latest push for the sport.
The Uptown 214 team, led by New York streetball legend Aaron "The Problem" Williams, is the feature act that is taking in a number of stops in Northland, Auckland and Waikato over the next week or so.
Feature appearances include a halftime exhibition at the Breakers' next home game against the Wollongong Hawks on Friday and an open tournament in West Auckland on February 17.
New Zealand already has a 3-on-3 world championship to its name, with teenage Tall Blacks Isaac Fotu and Tai Webster combining with Breakers development player Reuben Te Rangi to claim the under-17 title in 2011.
Green says he's seeing massive growth in a sport that has huge appeal to the urban youth in New Zealand, and in the process can also help keep youngsters off the streets and involved in a worthwhile pursuit.
"Basketball has influenced my life in a positive way, and now I'm seeing it help so many other people through our programme," said Green.
"3-on-3 is a small sport but it's a powerful one. Our motto is to create the platform for positive change and that's what we're doing through the growth of three-on-three basketball."
Fiba has already established a clear pathway for those serious about the sport, with the potential for tournament winners in New Zealand to head to major world events.
A quick glance through YouTube will tell you all you need to know about the excitement of a sport that the governing bodies are now taking very seriously indeed.

Good Samaritans said they heard a child crying for help as she tried to crawl out of a pickup truck parked in 90-degree heat, for more than an hour Tuesday afternoon.
"Screaming, sweating, unsure, and very scared," Sheena Mayorga said of the girl, 5.
Mayorga and her fiancé Hector Ramirez of California, along with their friend John Bodenheimer of Belen, approached the truck as the girl was beginning to crawl through a rear sliding window.
"We were just trying to calm her down," Bodenheimer said.
They said the pickup truck was off, had its windows rolled up and its doors locked. It was parked in a Home Depot parking lot at Eubank Boulevard and Central Avenue in southeast Albuquerque.
The three said the girl was sweating from head to toe. They said another customer and a few Home Depot employees took the girl inside the air-conditioned store to cool off and to give her water.
"A tragedy was prevented today," Albuquerque Police Lt. Eric Jordan said on the scene.
"You shouldn't leave kids, pets, anything in this type of heat without the car running. If you can't bring your children shopping with you, either don't go shopping or leave a responsible person with them at home," he said.
Lt. Jordan said paramedics took the girl to an Albuquerque hospital for treatment from heat exhaustion.
According to the good Samaritans, the girl's parents or guardians walked out of the store 45 minutes after officers arrived. Had the girl not cried for help, she would have likely remained in the pickup truck for nearly two hours.
"I hope they don't get the child back, they don't deserve the child if they're going to be doing that," Bodenheimer said. "I mean, they were in the store for over an hour. That child could have easily died."
KOB Eyewitness News 4 witnessed the girl's parents or guardians sobbing on scene before officers arrested them. It's still unclear who they are and what charges they face.
