What a coincidence.
Hamish Mears, of Taieri College, won the boys under-14 discus
title with a record throw of 40.35m at the Otago secondary
school athletics championships.
The old record was set by Taieri and Otago rugby player
Kieran Moffat (St Kevin's College) in 2003.
Moffat, a promising thrower in his school days, was coached
by Raylene Bates, a life member of the Taieri Athletics Club.
Mears is coached by Megan Gibbons and Joan Merrilees at the
Taieri club.
Bradley Tarleton (Taieri College) smashed the senior boys
hammer throw record by a massive 4.51m with his winning throw
of 52.55m.
He is now second on the national youth ranking list. Other
athletes from the Taieri club, coached by the mother and
daughter combination of Merrilees and Gibbons, also set
records and won titles.
In the girls under-15 long jump, Leonie Palmer (St Hilda's)
was second but broke the record because she had a legal wind
reading with her jump of 4.84m. Palmer also won the 100m
(13.08sec) and the 200m (26.78sec).
Felix McDonald (Kings) broke the boys under-16 400m record
with his time of 52.23sec and won the 100m hurdles in
13.60sec. Sam Gouverneur won the title and broke the record
in the boys under-14 400m (54.79sec) and won the 800m (2min
Christina Ashton (Queens) won senior girls titles in the 100m
(12.98sec), 200m (26.68sec) and 100m hurdles (14.84sec).
Sam Kirk (Taieri College) won the Roberts Cup for winning the
senior boys high jump with a leap of 1.75m.
Other Taieri College athletes to win titles were Rory Findlay
in the boys under-14 long jump (4.89m) and Hannah Ashton in
girls under-14 long jump (4.35m) and high jump (1.45m).

Aegae (Achaea)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the ancient city in Achaea. For other uses, see Aigai.
Aegae or Aigai (Ancient Greek: Αἰγαὶ, Modern Greek: Αιγές) was an ancient settlement in Achaea located northwest of modern Aigeira. It was situated near the river Krathis, between the towns Boura and Aigeira.[1] It was mentioned by Homer in Book 5 of the Odyssey, in which Poseidon "lashed his long-maned horses and drove to Aegae, where he had his famous palace" after having destroyed Odysseus' raft with a storm. There was a cult of Poseidon in the town, and it was abandoned in or before the 3rd century BC.[2]
The location of the ancient city has been found and excavated near Aigeira.[3]

Oregon reaps slice of USDA biofuel incentive
U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced Tuesday the creation of four new Biomass Crop Assistant Program project areas — two of which will mean benefits for Oregon.
BCAP, as the program is known, sets out to address one of the biggest problems for biofuel producers: The availability of affordable biofuel feedstock.
One of the projects, which will get a share of the $45 million in total contracts for growers, concerns the growth of camelina.
Albany-based Beaver Biodiesel LLC, which produces about 100 million gallons of biofuel per year, will work with Oregon growers to collect high-grade camelina oil for biofuel production.
Daniel Shafer, principal manager for Beaver Biodiesel said camelina, a relatively new crop in the U.S., is drought tolerant and an easy rotation crop for wheat farmers. Its meal provides a solid feed for livestock and its oil is a great feedstock for biofuel.
"It's a premium product," Shafer said.
Beaver Biofuels will work with Willamette Biomass Processors in Rickreal to collect the camelina from farmers and separate out the oil. Farmers who grow camelina will receive subsidies from the USDA.
Backers of biofuels for the airline industry are promoting camelina oil-based biofuel as an ideal replacement for jet fuel.
ZeaChem Inc., which is building a biorefinery in Boardman, will also benefit from the USDA program.
A chunk of the USDA incentives will also go to growers of the hybrid poplar trees that the ZeaChem refinery will use to make cellulosic biofuels.
The goal is to enroll up to 7,000 acres into ZeaChem's hybrid poplar program, which is being included as part of the USDA's Wood-to-Energy Initiative.
"ZeaChem is grateful to the USDA for designating the project area surrounding its biorefineries near Boardman, Oregon, for the establishment of renewable energy crops," said Jim Imbler, president and CEO of ZeaChem, in a statement.

Pantone (the voice of authority when it comes to all things color) has announced its 2013 Color of the Year:
This rich tone conveys a sense of renewal, regrowth, and regeneration, and is intriguing in its complexity: It is simultaneously lively and sophisticated, classic and refreshing, elegant and energizing.
We are expecting to see a lot of emerald and jewel-toned jewelry in 2013. It's not too early to start working up some designs of your own! Visit Pantone's Pinterest board or www.pantone.com to get ideas like these for emerald color palettes:
Emerald was also one of our color inspirations for the Vintage Moxie section in the upcoming Spring '13 issue of Jewelry Stringing magazine. Below are a few of the fabulous designs that our contributors came up with (pick up your copy of the Spring issue on newsstands next month to see the rest of them!).
These pieces always make me think of the Emerald City from The Wizard of Oz...
What does the color of year remind you of?

Hi Dave!
As everyone has said previously AWESOME pictures and RR.
I have literally been reading this thread nonstop for a couple days now. Read everything, even the comments at the end! Great job on the entire report man it was truly inspiring! I plan to do a similar trip next August but just to Canada with my girlfriend! Her cousins live there and one is getting married so seems like the perfect opportunity for a long journey!
Couple questions for you though:
1) what sw did you use to edit the vids? I have tried a couple but all aren't very practical to cut out multiple sections of a long video.
2)did you do anything to the suspension in order to allow the extra weight of the passenger and luggage? why or why not?
Thanks again!
I'll probably make an RR of my own when I go up!

By CP Staff
Against this backdrop, Fletcher strolled casually through his downtown St. Paul offices, leading the way to a sequestered conference room.
AFTER ROOTING THROUGH A MINI-FRIDGE, Fletcher takes a seat at the end of long conference table and cracks open his generic-brand diet cola. "You mentioned the issues of promotions," he says, setting down his soda and reaching into a folder. Watching Fletcher sift through paperwork, you half-expect the words "I've got an extensive file on you" to follow. Not today. "We heard complaints back then, during my first term," he continues. "But we resolved that in 2000 by having this agreement."
He produces a contract his department hashed out with the Teamsters, who represent his employees. "The rating process is an oral interview, which counts as 75 percent of the score, and seniority now takes 25 percent. The panel consists of two from management and two from union. So now I think that we have in place an objective process."
He's perfectly calm, almost affable, in his explanations. It's not until the Metro Gang Strike Force comes up that a hint of frustration reveals itself in his face. He's clearly upset by the bad press his most beloved enterprise has received lately.
"Someone should probably report on the fact that for the 12 years it's been around, the Strike Force has arrested 700 gangsters and their associates every year," he says, an edge creeping into his voice. "They've recovered hundreds and hundreds of guns off the street. I mean, they're good cops. They should have had more administrative help, and that's the bottom line. That's the one lesson here: There was sloppy bookkeeping."
An hour into the interview, it's time for a bathroom break. Entering the immaculate restroom, Fletcher opts for the stall, leaving open the solitary urinal. Freed from interview formalities, small talk ensues. Toilets are flushed.
"You're not from the part of Iowa where that tornado tore through a Boy Scout camp, are you?" Fletcher asks, over the sound of water from the faucet washing over his hands.
The answer is no, fortunately not...but how did he know this reporter is from Iowa?
"Oh," he says nonchalantly as he yanks a paper towel from the dispenser, "I think I read that somewhere."

The 7 year rule came into place as of August 2011, meaning I have 7 years from that date to complete my dissertation. So this year I primarily focused on getting my data organized and ideally I am looking to have a dissertation proposal very soon. In recent years, my department has had students complete their dissertation proposal having already completed their analysis–so I am trying to do the same. From now until very early in the fall this is my main focus. Next year I start a new graduate assistantship and ideally I'll be writing up my dissertation as well as looking into faculty position openings. It will be a very busy year, hard to say it will be the most busiest. Each year my Ph.D. program has come with its own challenges from managing time spent in classes and on class assignments, working as an instructor, research graduate assistant and generally trying to balance life. The summer is about to start though and it's the perfect time to reenergize a bit, visit with family, and to hit the ground running in terms of setting myself up to have a great start in the fall. Steady as I go.

Accepted program offer, now what?
So the next steps after having accepted a graduate program offer of admittance is to carefully consider all of the resources-networking available to you. Several examples include: banking, cost-of-living, parking permit, change of address information (i.e., mailing and all other correspondence), access to social and peer networks, and staying organized (i.e., good record keeping). Although I came to Indiana from another state, I made many of the appropriate transitions mentioned prior to coming to Indiana. I recall emailing, making phone calls, and doing a number of online searches to gather all of the information I needed so that as soon as I did arrive to Bloomington, IN I had taken care of most of my to-do-list in terms of making the transition from one state to another.
My best advice is to make a list of all the things that can be done prior to your arrival as well as once you arrive. In my own case, I came to Indiana in the July prior to the start of my first semester, this was primarily because my assistantship start date–but it allowed me enough time to be settled in before the start of my program. So, talk to current students, your given faculty, and ask plenty of questions as you outline your next steps.
Good Luck!
The Indiana University student newspaper is a good resource to find information on community opportunities, housing, the surrounding city of Bloomington, restaurants-entertainment and you name it. Check it out.
Ever traveled to Canada?
I know Canada doesn't sound too exotic, right? I was recently in Vancouver, Canada attending the Society for Research on Adolescence's Biennial Meeting. This was the conference's 14th gathering to date and the first time it was held outside of the United States. I attended in part, because I was selected as a 2012 Junior Mentor–an honor that pairs current doctoral students with selected talented underrepresented undergraduate students whom are about to transition into graduate studies. As a Junior Mentor, I attended an all day pre-conference, served on a panel having to do with graduate school funding, and I primarily spent my time mentoring and networking. Overall, participating in this program was the highlight of my trip.
Although I'm originally from the Pacific Northwest–this was my first time visiting Vancouver, Canada. I will admit, Vancouver, Canada is a beautiful place. My trip was a reminder that when I complete my Ph.D. program, I would love the opportunity to find a faculty or university position in my home region.
Welcome to Bloomington!
So what is Bloomington, Indiana like? Ultimately, it is what you as a graduate student make of it. Depending on the year you are in within your graduate program (e.g., stage in Ph.D. program)–you'll either have time to explore (often) or you will be so busy balancing school and anything personal that your time in Bloomington will be completely full. The campus is beautiful and the town is quaint. I wouldn't consider Bloomington to be a major urban center and yet although rural by some standards, I wouldn't consider it rural in the extreme. I think of Bloomington for what it is, unique for sure in the Midwest, a college town, home to a major research I flagship institution, and often attracting individuals from all over the world (i.e., a few reasons as seen below).

Securing Graduate School Funding.
A few years ago, I gave a short presentation on securing funding to IU's Hudson and Holland Scholars who were intending to pursue graduate studies. At a quick glance I thought it would be applicable here, see below for a summary and maybe something you read will catch your attention.
What is your eligibility? Experience (previous work, research, or internships); merit; retention of underrepresented population; duration of funding (entire time frame or renewable).
Internal Funding – Departmental & Institutional Often offered with acceptance letter and largely based on merit. Examples may include: fellowships in the form of merit-diversity-underrepresented groups; assistantships such as research-instruction-teaching assistant; work-study, similar as an undergraduate; grants that may potentially based on merit; the FAFSA based on financial need.
External Funding – Multiple Options Outside of your department; similar as opportunities as mentioned above, but may or may not be closely related to your field or area of study.
Initial search for External Funding – Institution's Graduate School; position openings within another department; supporting organizations in your field; national organizations within your city or community that you reside in.
Strategize – Submit simultaneous applications, when you apply to the graduate program, also apply to potential funding sources with the idea in mind that you anticipate admittance into the graduate program; ask about opportunities for funding.
Admitted to program and offered internal funding – Q: Will I be supported each year or is there a time limit? Stipend, tuition remission (reduction), other (insurance).
Admitted to program, yet no internal funding offered – Consider the rankings and prestige of program that you are admitted to; not obtaining an offer initially does not suggest you will not get one at a later time in your program (half way through your first year or in your second year)
You'll have to ask yourself, what challenges may arise if you do not obtain internal funding initially?

Schedule A Campus Visit.
I highly recommend that you do visit your potential graduate school institution, it is a smart decision. Simple put, a visit can go a long way in your own personal ranking of a program.
When you schedule a visit: 1) be sure to take a tour around campus, 2) meet with faculty in your intended program, 3) come prepared to ask questions and seek out opportunities to meet with current graduate students, 4) keep in mind what the cost of living will likely be, and 5) do as much research ahead of time to give you a head start & also make time to have some fun on your trip.
Graduate School Applications.
Here are some hints to consider, there are definitely more—but this is a start.
Be as specific and to the point as possible in terms of research direction and faculty you are interested in working with. Note how your experience or training can contribute to research currently being conducted or potential research that may be conducted once you arrive.
Submit a completed application as soon as possible, meeting the application deadline. Keep records, a file of every school you apply to.
Ask plenty of questions while preparing, during, and even after the application process. Know all your potential funding sources and how to access them.
Be assertive and do your research on schools and locations. Explore your options by gathering as much information about each school as possible and make a campus visit.
Expect opportunities to simply present themselves.
Submit anything without having made sure you have copies of the particular application component.
Happy Holidays!
Earn your Ph.D. & also experience this while at INDIANA UNIVERSITY.
I recently attended a McNair conference and I was impressed with how much work the McNair Scholars put into their research endeavors. As I spent time sitting in on presentations and reviewing poster sessions, also encouraging students to consider Indiana University for graduate studies, I immediately thought to myself that these students in attendance are the future of academia. When considering the present state of affairs in relation to retention and recruitment of underrepresented student populations, both undergraduate and graduate, as well as faculty of color in higher education, programs particularly such as McMair play a significant role in diversifying the academy. The early access to career and professional development was clearly evident in the quality of work presented by students.
Strong (Quality) Letters of Recommendation
As one of several key components already mentioned by the emissaries, the catch word is quality and I would say the only way anyone will receive a quality letter of recommendation from faculty would be by having built a strong rapport with a faculty member. Before you approach the potential recommender, gather yourself appropriately by having a strong resume or CV as well as an overall record of engaging with your potential recommender. Essentially, as long as you give your recommender at least a 3 week notice AND have been consistently communicating with him or her then they will more than likely do their part and write a great letter.
The point is that by having engaged your potential recommender already, he or she may have an easier process in writing about your abilities and potential. Have confidence, be assertive, and set aside some time to have a serious conversation with your potential recommender and let him or her know ultimately how much the recommendation would be beneficial to you and what your own expectations are. As a general note, I would have several potential recommenders and consider how each could speak to your specific capacities to progress through graduate school.
For a summary see the link below to a recently released webinar specific to recommendation letters. Enjoy.

Australian captain loses command after Indonesia incursions
Published on Apr 17, 2014 4:38 PM
SYDNEY (AFP) - An Australian naval captain has been relieved of his command after his vessel was involved in an incursion into Indonesian waters while on border protection duty, the defence ministry said on Thursday.
Six incursions took place during Australia's military-led Operation Sovereign Borders to deter asylum-seeker boats in December and January, leading Canberra to apologise to Jakarta and set up an inquiry.
The Department of Defence said navy chief Vice Admiral Ray Griggs had made a number of decisions relating to the seven commanding officers involved, noting that more than one ship was involved in each incursion.
"The Chief of Navy will remove one Commanding Officer from his command and another will be administratively sanctioned," a Department of Defence statement said. "The remaining Commanding Officers will be formally or informally counselled."

HALTOMCITY -- A construction worked is dead after a second story roof collapsed on a work site in HaltomCity Thursday morning.
It happened at a business in the 5700 block of Airport Freeway, MedStar confirmed. Video from HDChopper 8 shows a sign for Hawk Electronics on the side of the building.
Two workers were injured and refused treatment, fire officials said. News 8 has learned that the warehouse had recently been sold, and that's why construction crews were inside.
After the 911 call came in around 9 a.m., crews immediately called in the Northeast Tarrant County Technical Rescue Team, saying a building collapse can pose extreme danger to rescue workers. Because of this the search was slow and methodical.
'It is a difficult operation anytime you have to get in your technical rescue people. They go through lots of training just for this because it's very dangerous. It's highly technical, the skills they have to use, because you don't want to move the wrong thing and cause some more collapse,' Dep. Chief Fred Napp with the Haltom City Fire Department said.
The roof fell in what's called a 'slant collapse.' That means one side is still attached to the wall and the other is touching the floor beneath it.
Crews found the worker who died underneath debris where the roof had fallen to the floor.
Engineers have been called to the scene to survey the site and figure out what caused the collapse.

The sale of the Buffalo Bills has evolved into an event Ringling Bros and Barnum & Baily would have been proud of.
In early April, two weeks after the passing of Bills owner Ralph Wilson, the drum beat began about all the folks that would be interested in buying the football team: Jeremy Jacobs, Bon Jovi, Thomas Golisano, Terry Pegula, Donald Trump, my mother.
In May, the estate of the late Ralph Wilson hired Morgan Stanley Morgan Stanley to sell the NFL team. The investment bank quickly solicited half the universe. After all, NFL teams don't go on the market very often and the last one sold, the Cleveland Browns, went for almost a billion two years ago.
But a funny thing happened. There was scant interest in buying the Bills. Of the 60 non-disclosure agreements Morgan Stanley sent out, only three offers have come in–Bon Jovi's band, Trump and Pegula. But things were still cool because the rocker, the Donald and the hockey team owner all had lots of money and promised to keep the Bills in Buffalo. Phew!
Then news broke how the Toronto group–Bon Jovi, Larry Tanenbaum, Rogers family–actually conducted a feasibility study for building a stadium in Canada. Naturally, Buffalo–the entire city–got angry! NFL commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't want to be the bad guy who lets the Buffalo run to Toronto. But he also had to cringe at the possibility of being down to two bidders for the team and think to himself–"why me? If the Milwaukee Bucks……..yes, the Bucks, can fetch $550 million, the Bills just got to sell for over $1 billion."
But soon after, Trump dismissed his chances publicly because……….who really knows? So the investment bank was down to one bidder. But that's ok, Pegula had reportedly bid $1.3 billion and was even thinking of going to $1.5 billion (apparently bidding against himself). Or, maybe he knew Trump would return, vowing to sell any remaining casino assets he owns if his $1 billion-plus bid emerges as the highest accepted offer.
Despite the $1.3 billion or $1.5 billion of whatever huge amount of money supposedly being offered for the Bills, Morgan Stanley reportedly is going to extend the time for the bidding process. Sure, all bankers extend the sale process when bidding is strong.
Here's what I think: Pegula has not as of yet offered anything close to $1.3 billion. Trump stands about as much of a chance as being approved by the league to buy the Bills as I do, and the Toronto group is maybe at $1.1 billion. That's as of this moment (remember, these bids are all non-binding). And I think if you called Morgan Stanley with interest in buying the Bills they would return your call within five seconds.

Arizona Cardinals
Mel Kiper Jr. gives Arizona Cardinals positive grades for their 2014 draft class
Like him or loathe him, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. knows all things NFL Draft.
The 53-year-old Baltimore native has been analyzing the draft for ESPN since 1984. So when all franchises have finished selecting their future prospects at the summer gala, many fans turn to Kiper to see what he thinks about their favorite team's picks.
And that time is here.
In an Insider piece on ESPN.com, Kiper released his grades Sunday for all 32 NFL teams. And if you're wondering what his thoughts were on the Arizona Cardinals' draft class, he gave Steve Keim and Co. above-average, but not stellar, marks.
Kiper said Arizona's top needs entering the draft were at outside linebacker, safety, wide receiver and quarterback. The Cardinals hit all those positions -- safety Deone Bucannon in the first round; wide receivers John Brown and Walt Powell in the third and sixth rounds, respectively; and quarterback Logan Thomas in the fourth -- except linebacker.
So when Kiper looks at how the Cardinals met their needs through the draft, he gave them a "B." As for the overall value of their seven draftees, Kiper gave the team a mark of a "B-."
Overall, he gave the Cardinals a "B" for their draft.
He explained the grades further:
The Cardinals did pretty well, and hit some needs. If you look across the NFC West, you see safety combinations that balance a big hitter with a guy that can really run, move around, cover the slot and make plays. Last year the Cardinals added Tyrann Mathieu, who was fantastic as a rookie before the ACL injury, and this year they added a hitter in Deone Bucannon. The Cardinals moved down, and that made what you could call a slight reach on Bucannon perfectly reasonable. I list OLB as a need here, but that could also be DE because the Cardinals will mix their base fronts, and an athlete like Kareem Martin is a good fit. He's a better athlete than he is a performer, but he could be good. Bruce Arians absolutely adored Heath Miller in Pittsburgh, and might see some of what he loved about Miller in Troy Niklas. John Brown was a guy I really liked because of the explosiveness -- witness the 4.34 40 time -- and he could become a solid third WR and also take return reps, preserving Mathieu and Patrick Peterson.Logan Thomas is a great developmental shot to take. Bruce Arians worked out Thomas in March, and loves the tools Thomas has. Will Thomas improve his accuracy? That's the question, and it's not at all easy to say he will, because accuracy and ball placement aren't things that often improve a great deal. At worst, he's Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson in practice because he can simulate that kind of athleticism.
As for how Arizona did in the draft compared to its NFC West foes, two clubs got higher marks from Kiper, while one was a couple notches below.
Kiper gave the San Francisco 49ers an "A" for their draft class and the St. Louis Rams an "A-." The defending champion Seattle Seahawks brought up the rear with a "C+," according to Kiper's analysis.

Updates for UK listed and regulated companies on incoming "say on pay" rules, the UK challenge to the EU "bonus cap" and new guidance on AIFMD remuneration rules.
This Client Alert summarises three key developments regarding the regulation of pay in the UK. New "say on pay" rules came into effect on 1 October which will require UK listed companies to extensively revise their annual director remuneration reports. The UK government has launched a legal challenged to incoming EU bonus cap, and the Financial Conduct Authority has issued new consultation papers providing insight into how they propose to apply the bonus cap and the new AIFMD remuneration rules. These developments will be highly relevant for UK listed and regulated companies.
New "say on pay" rules for listed companies -
On 1 October 2013, new UK "say-on-pay" rules that provide for greater scrutiny of and control over directors' remuneration came into force. The rules change the previous position under which UK listed companies were only required to subject their directors' remuneration report to an annual advisory shareholder vote.

In many places, police, judges and elected officials increasingly are pointing out that a high proportion of people in jail are mentally ill, and that in many cases they shouldn't be there.

The development of novel medical imaging techniques to revolutionise cancer detection and treatment will be the result of a new partnership announced today between Queen's University Belfast and Cirdan Imaging Ltd.
The research will focus on developing new imaging equipment using X-rays and near Infrared (NIR) Fluorescence to assist clinicians in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Complete surgical removal of a tumour is vital for the patient, and one of the most important prognostic factors for survival. The new devices will be used in diagnostic procedures, as well as cancer surgery, to better discriminate between healthy and malignant tissue.
Cirdan Imaging's first new device will be an imaging tool developed to assist Radiologists to take a biopsy from a suspect lesion to help diagnose breast cancer. This product is planned to be launched within the next 12 months.
Queen's University have taken an equity shareholding in Cirdan Imaging Ltd through its venture spin-out company QUBIS Ltd, representing their first ever company spin-in.
Dr. Hugh Cormican is CEO of Cirdan Imaging. His previous collaboration with QUBIS led to the creation of Andor Technology, the fastest growing company manufacturing high performance digital cameras in the world today, employing some 260 people in 16 offices worldwide.
Speaking about the new partnership, Dr Cormican said: "I am delighted to be working with QUBIS and Queen's University again, and I look forward to the collaborative efforts in developing new cancer imaging techniques. We know that speed of detection and treatment of cancer is critical to patient outcomes and we hope that through this new faster, more efficient technology, patient outcomes and survival will be improved.
"Queen's University is one of the world's leading research centres for cancer research, and with our collaboration we can help bring the benefits of that research to impact on patient's lives in conside

text: Hi, I wonder if anyone could give me any advice. I am having slight trouble with a Terratec Aureon 5.1 PCI sound card with Windows Vista. The drivers install fine and I can listen to sound, but the problem I have is concerning the SPDIF output. The only way to turn it on as far as I know is through a program called "Aureon Control Panel" or something like that. I can't however get the program to run, I've tried lowering the compatability mode, and elevating it to a higher run level but no joy. I was wondering if anyone else has this card and has any other ideas on how I can make the Control Panel run, or how to activate the SPDIF output without the control panel. I can't see any obvious registry keys or anything. I am well aware that Vista is a beta version and as such no-one can expect everything to work, but sometimes there are ways round things like this. Any adive would be good!

We are weak at 2&4 there no 2 scores 24 pts over the 2meetings whereas our 2&4 score between them score only 17 combined. With having a poor no6 our Season looks to be heading in the wrong direction already!
Also why was Pawlicki allowed to ride with the wrong coloured helmet in heat 8 - surely this must be against the rules? It would be useful if a simple copy of the rules be printed in the programme so us supporters could understand what they are!!

Kieschnick resigns as volleyball coach
She posted 68-159 mark in seven seasons
KINGSVILLE - In addition to a search for a football coach, Texas A&M-Kingsville now will be on the hunt for a new volleyball coach.
After seven seasons, Jane Kieschnick is stepping down as the Javelinas' volleyball coach. The Texas A&I graduate said in a statement released by the university Thursday that she wants to devote more time to her three children.
"I've really enjoyed coaching at my alma mater, but it's time for me to spend more time with my family," Kieschnick said. "It's been a great seven years and I've had the pleasure of coaching and leading a great group of student-athletes."
Kieschnick could not be reached for comment Thursday night. Her assistant, Shannon Pierson, has been named interim head coach while the university searches for a permanent replacement.
A&M-Kingsville currently is seeking a replacement for football coach Richard Cundiff, who also resigned after seven seasons as the head coach and 22 years with the Javelinas.
The Javelinas' volleyball team was much like the football team, with largely a young group this past season, A&M-Kingsville struggled to an 8-22 record and lost its top player, Shaday Smith, to a torn knee ligament injury early in the season.
Kieschnick's seven-year coaching record at A&M-Kingsville is 68-159 and included two appearances in the Lone Star Conference postseason tournament, 2002 and 2005. In 14 seasons as a college and high school coach, Kieschnick posted a 257-216 record.
"I really appreciate all the hard work and dedication that coach Kieschnick has put into the Javelina volleyball program and have valued her as a member of our staff," A&M-Kingsville athletics director Jill Willson said.
A Bishop native, Kieschnick coached 15 All-LSC players during her tenure. Two players off this year's team, Chelsea Zunker and Heidi Scheopner, earned second-team honors. Zunker was named the LSC South Division Freshman of the Year.
Kieschnick will remain at the university as an instructor in the Kinesiology Department.
Kieschnick coached the 2002 team to a second-place finish in the South and 16 victories, the most for the program since 1998, while the 2005 squad finished third in the LSC South.
She played basketball at A&I for three years and was on the 1982-83 team that was a regional finalist in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

I don't think we have basic requirements now. We simply believe that we do. I think that sharing this information is one way of addressing the flaws, which are in the minds of people more than the system of law itself.
The point I guess was grasping a better understanding of what the founders intended in regard to liberty, personal responsibility, etc. and how it is supposed to translate into our rules of the road.
The problem, as far as I can see, is how, at some level of the human psyche, most folks prefer to be told what to do rather than take responsibility for their actions. Or, they at least prefer to avoid taking blame for their actions which cause harm.
I think there should be private tiered licensing agencies. Achieving higher tiers would result in lower insurance and registration costs. These would not be run or required by government. They could be run by the insurance companies, or some other private entities.
People would be judged on their performance and be rewarded for improvement. It would change the dynamic so that people would be encouraged to better their skills, or pay higher fees for insurance and registration than their neighbor who holds a higher tier.
In a traffic stop or collision investigation the license tier might be a determining factor as to the outcome.
The government would still regulate commercial drivers as they do now. Though the private tiered licensing could compliment that.
I think that people should be taught and encouraged to be responsible for their actions, rather than treating them like sheep with the illusion that someone else will always be there to protect them.
Once, years ago I was in a collision with an unlicensed and uninsured driver from a nation South of Texas' border. He ran a stop sign to cross to the median of a divided multi-lane surface road in Houston and I t-boned the car in the left rear tire while riding on a Suzuki GS1000. A van in the right lane beside me blocked my view of the car. That driver slammed on the brakes, but I didn't know why. Then the car was in front of me. Boom!
The bike was totaled, and I got about thirty stitches and a bunch of bruises. There were a dozen witnesses names taken by some friends of mine who were following me back from lunch. But the part that always confused me was that the Houston cop helped this guy change the flat tire on his car and sent him on his way rather than issuing a ticket, arresting him, or, impounding the car.
It always left me somewhat confused about what happened and why. I had been assaulted and my property and body were injured. Yet this guy just rolls on down the road without a license. WTF?
At least I have answered the license part.
If most people prefer to be coddled and guided, that is fine by me. But, allow those of us who understand the law and who take responsibility for their actions to exist on a different level from those who do not. At least the enforcers should be better educated on what is and is not actually in the law books. (there is also no punishment clause in the statutes for exceeding the speed posted on the "prima facie speed limit signs")
There is a lot of shenanigans being perpetrated upon drivers that is simply not supported by the statutes themselves.
If something isn't required by law, what is the advantage for us all pretending that it is?
What stops the folks who should know this from answering questions about it in a straight-forward manner?
This quasi-lying by those who have taken an oath to defend and support a document called the constitution seem to be acting in a way counter to that end.
I don't like being misled or outright lied to by those elected or appointed to serve the people. Those who should be examples to all.
I'm not quite sure why you or anyone else would feel otherwise. Though I must accept that this is indeed the way the ball bounces. It just seems weird to me.
This is The Internet. Confirm for yourself anything you may see while visiting this strange and uncertain land.

His point is that only the Saudis have the ability to open the chokes on their oil wells if they desired. Their 2 million bpd of spare capacity could keep prices stable, which, says Hirs, is the swing producer's job.
In mid February came the news that the Saudis had cut their output in December 2011 by 237,000 bpd — pretty sizable amount, especially in the face of already high oil prices. What got lost in the mix, however, was that in November the Saudis had pumped 10.047 million bpd — their highest rate in more than 30 years.
The world leaned heavily on the Saudis last year to replace most of the oil production knocked offline in Libya. According to the IEA, the Saudis boosted their output 950,000 bpd in 2011 to average 9.34 million bpd. Neighboring Kuwait also added 210,000 bpd and UAE added 190,000 bpd. All that largesse kept the markets well supplied during Colonel Khadafi's final days.
It's one thing to replace Libya's oil. Quite another to replace Iran's. Even though no bombs have yet been dropped on Iran's nuclear facilities, the U.S/U.N. sanctions on Iran are having the effect of keeping Iranian crude off the world market. China and Europe have been reducing purchases of Iranian crude. Iran says it has already halted sales to the U.K. and France. Now it looks like Turkey may be forced to cut its imports as well.
And although rogue traders usually figure out how to get oil out of restive areas one way or another (like Marc Rich did for the Iranians in the 1970s), it's harder when big tanker companies like Frontline (controlled by billionaire John Fredriksen) say they will no longer load Iranian crude because they can't get insurance coverage.
If sanctions on Iran bite enough to prevent most of Iran's 3.5 million bpd of crude from getting to market, not even Saudi Arabia and its neighbors will be able to make up the difference. Hirs doesn't think they'd even want to. "For the Saudis it's a defensive move against Iran to keep prices up," he says. This is counterintuitive, given that there's no love lost between Riyadh and Tehran, but the Saudis don't want to slash Tehran's oil income too much for fear of giving the mullahs reason to retaliate.
Though it's the threat of Iran blocking the Straits of Hormuz that gets the attention, a far easier missle target for an Iran under attack would be the giant Saudi oil fields or the Ras Tanura tanker port on the Persian Gulf. Already in recent weeks gunfights have broken out in Saudi Arabia between Sunni groups loyal to the Saudi royal family and Shiites who feel more allegiance to Shiite-dominated Iran.
As Iran is pushed deeper into the corner and its crude exports cut off, oil prices could very likely soar even as the Saudis open their spigots. That would push gasoline prices well beyond where they are now. U.S. stockpiles of oil and fuels currently amount to 1.7 billion barrels, including 700 million bbl in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. That would be enough to cover foregone imports for at least 6 months, but not enough to keep prices down. We'll sure wish we had that Keystone XL pipeline then.
Economist Hirs says that even if the Iran issue is resolved peacefully, it's nearly inevitable that the Obama administration (looking for election-year votes) will open the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, as it did when Libya was on fire last year: "They may view opening the SPR as a kind of SuperPAC at taxpayers' expense. But because every barrel they take out has to be put back it won't do a thing to bring down gasoline prices. With gasoline now being exported from the U.S. it is the world price that will control domestic pricing."
Instead of whining about gasoline prices, buy insurance in the form of crude futures or shares in North America-based, oil-leveraged companies. For what it's worth, my favorites include Continental Resources (NYSE:CLR) which is big in the Bakken, Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:CNQ) a leader in the oil sands, and Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY) a cash cow. Then at least you'll have some capital gains to balance out those pump pains.

Outside of the hip hop scene he is best known for his best-selling single, "Taiwan Song", which projects an unapologetic Taiwanese assertiveness. The title is a playful pun on the Mandarin word for "ode" (頌, pinyin: sòng), which also sounds like a Taiwanese word for "feeling good" (爽, POJ: sóng), as well as the English word "song".
The March 8, 2004 Asian issue of TIME describes him as a writer of "pro-Taiwan rap" and the "poster boy of the DPP's southern youth vote campaign" during the 2004 presidential election.
