A supply chain specialist ensures that supplies and inventory are ordered, received, replenished, and kept at appropriate levels so the business could function properly. They are a main point of contact for suppliers, and they make sure any questions by members on their organization on those suppliers are dealt with in an effective and timely manner. The supply chain specialist also must ensure that accurate records of supplies and inventory levels are maintained, and they must analyze data around the use or depletion of these resources over time. These specialists must make sure that the company never has a deficit or an excess surplus of supplies and inventory.Read More...
Communication with other teams is essential, as the supply chain specialist must stay up to date on information regarding changes in production or upcoming marketing that may affect demand for supplies. The ability to effectively prepare and present reports to show trends and data on supplies and/or inventory to management is expected as well.
Candidates for this position are generally expected to have an associate's or bachelor's degree in business administration, supply chain management, or a related field. Candidates for supply chain specialist should also have at least one to three years of experience in purchasing- or supply chain-related positions.

Supply Chain Specialists who move on to become Supply Chain Managers may enjoy significant pay raises, as Supply Chain Managers get paid an average of $83K per year. Career advancement for the typical Supply Chain Specialist often leads to becoming a Supply Chain Analyst or a Supply Chain Supervisor; median salaries in these positions are $4K higher and $6K higher, respectively.
Survey respondents exploit a significant toolbox of skills in their work. Most notably, facility with Contract Negotiation, SAP Materials Management (SAP MM), and SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 46 percent, 31 percent, and 24 percent, respectively. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Microsoft Excel, Logistics, and Microsoft Office. For most people, competency in Data Analysis indicates knowledge of Microsoft Office.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Supply Chain Specialists — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Average salaries for inexperienced employees average out to around $49K, but folks who have five to 10 years of experience earn a higher median of $53K. Supply Chain Specialists claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $54K. Survey participants who have spent more than 20 years on the job report a predictably higher median income of $60K, demonstrating that compensation is roughly commensurate with experience in the end.
Supply Chain Specialists will find that Austin offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 40 percent. Supply Chain Specialists will also find cushy salaries in Houston (+35 percent), Los Angeles (+34 percent), Salt Lake City (+25 percent), and Pittsburgh (+14 percent). Trailing the national average by 13 percent, Milwaukee is the market with the smallest paychecks. Employers also pay below the national average in Oklahoma City (9 percent lower) and San Antonio (8 percent lower).

I blew the dust off of my Kinect for this?
After Fable 3, the question on everyone's mind probably wasn't "when are we getting a Kinect Fable game?" After the disaster that was Fable: Heroes, Lionhead are in need of a win but I'm not sure a Kinect game was their best route back into the spotlight. Here we are anyway, I had a chance to check out a portion of Fable: The Journey and, well, it certainly is a Kinect game.
Set fifty years after the events of Fable 3, the player controls a man named Gabriel who has been separated, along with his horse and cart, from the rest of his caravan. Gabriel comes across Theresa, a seer who has been wounded by a darkness called The Corruption. The Corruption is taking over Albion, and Gabriel must take her to the Tattered Spire to restore her power. Along the way, Gabriel will find some magic gauntlets that allow him to cast a few spells and this is how you will fight.
Since the section of the game I got my hands on focused on the combat scenarios of Fable: The Journey I jumped right into battle. Your main spell will be called Bolt and is cast by raising your hand and pushing it toward the screen. This fires a ball of energy that mildly damages enemies and will be your primary attack so get used to throwing a lot of these at the screen. Later you'll have access to augment your Bold spell into a Fireball spell by yelling "Fireball" at the Kinect. Fireball is a much more powerful spell, but it takes a few moments to switch to and it's also tiresome to yell Fireball repeatedly. Not to mention what the neighbors will think after a few hours of this.
You can also block incoming projectiles by raising your left arm up like you're holding a shield and use your left arm to control your Push spell. Push can stun enemies to stop them from getting to you and can also be used to drag things around on the screen. You'll need to use this spell to solve puzzles, or to drag enemy shields out of the way.
My real problem with what I played of Fable: The Journey is that, despite all of Lionhead's assurances to the contrary, it's simply an 'on-rails' shooter. In fact, it's a very slow and plodding rail shooter that uses heavily scripted enemy sequences. Sometimes you have to curve your shots around cover to hit an enemy, but these situations are always obvious. If you need to throw your Magic Shard spear spell at something, the camera will focus on it automatically and there will be little no consequence to missing or taking too long to attack.
I'll reserve judgement until I can play the whole thing, but I didn't have fun with the combat sections in Fable: The Journey and I'm not confident that the rest of the game elements can make up for this. We'll see though, stay tuned for a full review sometime around October 9th, 2012, when the full game is released.

Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
This is stupid. There is no reason why the death of Kennedy should be cause for one side to stand down while the other gets to ramp up its campaign. This is political opportunism at its worst. I disagree with this move.
The Left would never show similar respect for the death of a conservative legend. When the Gipper passed away, the Leftist Loons went into full-press attack mode.
Similar story - ABC news, airer of a major shill for ObamaCare, refuses to air ad opposing it because they don't air "partisan" ads.
Too bad Limbaugh can't follow this cue of decency.
For the last two days, he has done nothing but besmirch the name of Ted Kennedy for the sole purpose of advancing his own twisted political (anti-healthcare reform) agenda. He was even on his show yesterday perverting about a Kennedy "waitress sandwich". A man has died, yet Rush can't resist spitting on his grave to make political cheapshots.
Limbaugh has proven to be a man of bad taste and flawed character -- and he's the mouthpiece for the GOP (go figure). THIS is what the republican party has regressed to?
It's pathetically unAmerican and pathologically indecent. Yet Rush still has a bastion of dittoheads willing to defend his every insult to humanity. That says more about his listeners (and the republican party) than it does about him.
Anyone with advertising experience will tell you not to waste advertising dollars at a time when your target audience is not receptive. This decision reflects common decency, as well as practical considerations.
The worst thing they could do is run attack ads, and be equated with someone like Rush Limbuagh.
It is quite a stretch of the imagination to link all opposition to anything Obama does to Rush Limbaugh.
The "straw man" is one of the most primitive of flawed arguments.

is OFF! Deep woods, safe to spray on bed sheets and my babys bed sheets?
Comments (8)
Sounds like hand foot and mouth to me! My girls had it in May (and I got it as soon as they got over it) and it is VERY painful! I had sores on my feet, hands, and back of my throat; ODD had foot, booty, and mouth sores; and LO had sores in her throat. ODD had what seemed like a tummy bug the Monday it started (sores showed up on her booty Tuesday after her fever broke).
That said, I DON'T think spraying the beds with OFF is a good idea! I'd suggest vinegar instead - it has awesome anti yuck properties of all sorts, and is non-toxic.
Could it be bed bugs?

Spraying OFF on the bed sheets is definitely NOT a good idea - I would change them ASAP.
I dont' think that you should have sprayed OFF on your LO's sleeping area. I'd wash and change the sheets as soon as you can. Like PP's mentioned - it's most likely Hand, Foot and Mouth. There's nothing you can do about it, just wait for it to pass. Give your LO tylenol/motrin to keep him comfortable. Wash your sheets again too. It's not good for you to sleep in that stuff either!

There may be a gasket or seal that is missing that protects the door switch from getting wet. Look in the door switch or on top of the door for the location sensor. See if it appears to be unprotected, you will see exposed terminals or sensor, and the door switch and see if it looks like a seal might have been in that place or if the seal is damaged.

"They Love to Run"
Well, about 500 or so comments later, the thread on this post about the recent Kentucky Derby horror is still going strong. It's clear that this issue has deeply affected a lot of people—and hopefully, all this emotion about Eight Belles' tragedy will result in some actual reforms that will give at least some degree of protection to the horses who are abused by this industry.
I don't usually make a point of singling out certain comments on this blog, but there were enough people who made statements along the lines of "But horses are born to race. That's what they love," or, like, "They're treated better than most humans," that I figured it was worth pointing out a few more things about the horseracing industry, which, like any industry which depends on animal domination and exploitation, will try to get away with any abusive or neglectful practice that might make them an extra dime. And the real victims—Eight Belles and the thousands of less famous horses who died under similar circumstances or else were shipped off to Europe for human consumption—live miserable lives and die painful deaths.
Here are a few key points about how this works, and there's lots more info on this horseracing factsheet:
- Nobody "loves to run" when they're suffering from bleeding lungs or painful leg injuries, but that doesn't stop trainers from pumping these animals full of drugs to mask the pain, enhance their performance and just plain keep them going. We are getting calls and faxes about all kinds of cocktail mixes that "are common knowledge in the back stretch." Sometimes people are caught and suspended when they're careless—as was the case with this veterinarian who got busted for injecting cobra venom into a horse as a nerve blocking agent. For real.
- Why was Eight Belles so fragile? Well, horses begin training when their skeletal systems are still growing, and they're completely unable to deal with pounding their limbs into jelly on a hard track at high speeds. Don't tell me that all those people who "really know about horses" didn't have an inkling that this filly – a filly, no less – was a high risk for serious injuries like the ones she sustained. But she was raced anyway. Any gue$$es as to why?
- As I mentioned before, horses that don't make the cut get shipped off to slaughterhouses. The fact that anybody who knows this would still have the gall to comment on this blog saying that these animals are "treated better than most humans" is just too depressing to even think about.
For better or for worse, Eight Belles is now a very public representative of an industry that's rotten to its rotten core. My only hope is that people will keep looking deeper into the way these horses are treated. And don't dare try and tell me that they like it.
Commenting is closed.
Before I make anyone angry race horses are run too young which results in many career ending injuries. But if you honestly say that race horses don't love to run then you don't know race horses. I work and ride at a hunterjumoer barn where we have many off the track horses. While my own paint mare will will throw bucks that give me crazy whiplash all these exrace horses are interested in is running. For them being naughty is taking off at a full gallop and not stoping. No bucking. No stopping. No swerving rearing or backing up. They only want to run. After it's out of their system they're fine.
As I read through the many posts on Eight Bells death it appeared to me that many people are just looking for an excuse to criticize the horse industry. I do agree that what happened to her was horrific and there should be steps to improve the conditions under which these horses race. I have been involved in the horse industry most of my life and for some people to accuse everyone in the industry to be cruel and ignorant is insane. Yes some pleasure horse are started at 18 months some are started at 2 years have you ever seen the care and concern that goes into preparing these horses for the show pen? I can speak for myself and others that no expense is spared the best possible feed and medical attention is given to them. My horse are seen by a chiropractor one a month if any lameness is detected they are sent off for a full body scan do you have any idea what that costs? As for happiness come to my barn and you tell me whos happier my horse standing in a stall with a fan on them and a fly system in the barn or a horse left out in a pasture or better yet a mustang having to scrounge for food! Please completely educate yourself before criticizing us!
As someone who is entering the industry I will concede on your first point. Medication is overused in the industry. Phenylbutazone a NSAID commonly used for pain relief the equivalent of aspirin for those who aren't familiar with it was once banned. When Dancer's Image won the Kentucky Derby and was found to have it in his system he was disqualified. We need to stop relying on medications. As for the fragile part yes early training contributes to some racehorse breakdowns. But the reality is most of those breakdowns are directly linked to the bloodlines. Softboned horses are being overbred. Storm Cat is a wellknown sire who is also well known for giving his foals bad feet. Training in moderate amounts such as most young horses receive actually works to strengthen and develop the bones. As for slaughter…there are great rescue groups such as CANTER who work to rehome exracehorses. However as distasteful as it is it's a necessary evil. I am opposed to slaughter but the reality is since the slaughter ban took place there has been a gigantic glut on the market. Breeders aren't being responsible and too many horses are being produced. Horses are being neglected because their owners can't afford to care for them. I've seen horses selling at auction for ridiculously low prices and a local auction sold a perfectly sound rideable horse for $50. People are practically giving them away. Honestly the exracehorses are being treated the best of them all because they are getting rehomed through organizations that make sure they'll be in good homes. Most horses aren't so lucky. Maybe instead of complaining about the racing industry you should go check out the rest of the horse industry and see all the horses who are dying of neglect because there's nowhere for them to go.
Where are you getting this info? Maybe some horses are sent to slaughter houses but the ones that don't make the cut get sold as pets! You guys are unreal and VERY uneducated in this sport I can see. I was born and raised in the heart of horse country and have been around horse racing ALL my life and used to even work for a trainer and NONE of what you say goes on at many places…people make things up and draw stuff out…wake up and go bug people for things that are actually wrong…
I have worked on the backside the race track and i have several points FIRST THE HORSES ARE TREATED BETTER THAN THE JOCKEYS AND EXCERCISE RIDERS GROOMS TRAINERS ETC ETC ETC PETA when your right you right. Money is a factor in how we race and train our horses. But it's to the opposite affect to what you believewe must take care of our charges to make money at all. If we abuse our mounts they won't love what they do. And therefore they won't run and make us money. SECOND EIGHT BELLES WAS NOT FRAGILE BECAUSE SHE WAS RACED YOUNG SHE WAS FRAGILE BECAUSE OF IMPROPER BREEDING. PETA you have me here. Eight Belles was pushed past her abilities. Period. You win that argument no question. However you can not claim she was pushed past her capabilities by her jockey her owner her trainer or any human caretaker. Her heart was simply stronger than her body. Which brings me to my third and last point… THIRD THEY LOVE TO RUN!! When I first got my gallop license I was given to the care of a seasoned jockey to teach me the ropes. Besides the usual banter on rules regulations all ENFORCED to ensure the safety of our equines… he also mentioned one last jewel of advice "never hold it against yourself if a horse breaks away and decides to run. Your not near as strong as that horse and you won't ever be able to hold them back if they really want to they feel good when they run and sometimes they just need their freedom." As a last note we do! turn horses out. Go to any backside and while they won't be mile long pastures and they won't be at every barn every RESPECTABLE trainer uses them
I agree about them racing Eight Bells to early but clearly the horses who run in the big time races do not get sent to slaughter. For example Barbaro his owners did every thing possible to save him. If thats not love i dont know what is.
Nancy… The horses name is Big Brown not Big Red.. Big Red was the nick name for Secretariat. When you said the horse was drugged the drug was WINSTROL a steroid used in training… Many horseman still question whether or nor it is effective. And please there is no coalition between EIGHTBELLES AND BARBARO and Big Brown. I've witnessed horses breaking ankles running in their own fields… not on any drugs. And No he will not be sent to a SLAUGHTER HOUSE.. He was sold for over 50 million dollars….. Please take the time to ask questions and learn the truth… Again knowledge is power. Dave
The need for speed in amazing. As a cross country runner myself I push myself past injury bleeding wounds pain and exhaustion in order to be faster stronger and to win that race. For some including Thoroughbreds they DO love to run.
Sure SOME horses are treated like gold. BUT MOST OF THEM ARE NOT! It's like saying "oh sure runway models are too skinny but they're healthy" xx
We all love you Barbaro and Eight Belles .Rest in peace the both of you are fee
jack. this is wonderful. im so sad that your going to stop writing for PETA ' i'll miss you! you always have the best imput on these situations it gives me something good to say when people ask me about it! also on your other blogs about vegetarianism you give great ideas! your a wonderful person i really apreciate you
Well said Jack. I agree completely!
FYI There was actually a study or studies done that proved that TBs that are trained for racing at an earlier age actually develop bone that is LESS prone to injury. Because they tend to mature at a faster rate than most other breeds they are trained earlier. I'm not saying all training practices are good bad or indifferent just want you to know the facts. We actually discussed this in my Equine Anatomy and Physiology class and it surprised most of the class as well.
I feel very passionately about this subject as I have adopted 2 horses from the racetrack and have taken years to try and rehabilitate from the cruelty and abuse both physical and mental that they had to endure. Horses do love to run for fun for a short playful distance BUT they DO NOT choose to run at intense speed for an extended period unless they thought it was a life threatening situation. So on the track the horses are most likely terrified. The Standardbred Racing is often forgotten when discussing the cruelty on the racetrack but it happens just as frequently there. My 1st horse was raced even after the owner knew he had a broken bone and my second horse was being shipped at 3yrs old to the meat factory as he didn't cut it on the track!! It is shameful abuse of highly sensitive and emotional creatures. I couldn't believe it when my 2nd horse was agoraphobic yes imagine a horse afraid to be outside. The only time he got out of the stall was when a cart was tied to him and he was forced to pull it around the track at uncomfortable speeds he had a breathing problem that almost caused him to drop dead on the track but he was forced to run anyway. The vet on the track insisted on ending his career when he came in from training one day and his tongue was blue he was so starved of oxygen!! It was then decided the meat factory would be his next destination. He had been taken from his mother at the very young age of 11 months and kept in that stall for 3 years with NO pasture or turn out. Honestly it is a CONSENTRATION camp for horses. Both my horses turned out to be the most wonderful loving pets. Sadly my 1st horse had to be euthanized after his leg broke severely in several different places but he had been raced for 9 years and his bones were so weakened. Anyone who says stupid statements like "They were born to run" or "They love it" is just ignorant and maybe should study the behaviour of the animal before they make such uneducated statements. Horses were BORN TO RUN AWAY FROM PREDETORS and it is unnatural for them to have us on their backs that is why they buck in the beginning to get what feels like a predator off their backs!! Horses have helped make our history they have bravely carried men through battle even when it went against every fiber of their being!! They are a flight animal not a fight animal! Horse Racing is meant to be the sport of Kings so PLEASE let us treat the animal athlete's that make it possible with civilized compassion.
I Admire you admins at PETA for caring but as always you have holes in your facts and you logic which I'm starting to think you put there on purpose. 1.Any horses found with 'enhancing drugs' in their bodies will be disqualified. 2.Incidences like this where a premature horse is used would require somehow getting past the rules there are already rules that state only cetainaged animals can be used though there may have been a loophole perhaps the rule said that 'foals' were not allowed but Eight Belles whas a Filly to old to be foal and to young to be mare. and therefore they had no way of not allowing her to be raced. 3. Sending a horse to be killed is the VERY last resortonly if absolutly noone will take them. 4.I agree with kelly what if the jockey had no choice but to make Eight Belles run? There may have been no space for them to pull over becuase of other racers behind. I suggest if you want to make everyone take you seriously you look at all the facts and not just look at some and make up others I mean to say that all horses not excepted get killed is absolutly perposterous! I will continue to sign you petitions and send your letters but I will take you seriously no more.
I understand that horses have died in this horse racing sport. But think about it! People get injured in every sport. They do love to run! Horses would not run if they did not want to. People do whip the horses but in horse racing are they used a lot? I have not seen very many used. I do agree with you on the fact that they are bred up to every little detail but horse racing has been going on for more than 140 years and it still continues and is very popular. I think the incident with Eight Belles was an unfortanute event and I do not think the jockey or owner should not be blamed for what happened to her. Accidents do happen and Eight Belles was a case of what happened. Good luck with your case but I do hope you take this subject a little easier on everyone in the future. Thank you for listening.
In response to Megans comments I have also been a racehorse groom and exercise rider for 7 years. It amazes me that people who have worked with racehorses honestly believe they enjoy it. Of course they want to run! They are locked in tiny stalls 23.75 hours a day fed high energy diets and made really fit cardiovascularly. But they get really nervous on race day too because they know whats going to happen They are pushed pulled and smacked into a tiny gate many feel clausterphobic in there The men are yelling at each other and the horses sometimes grabbing their ears and tails to 'calm' them. Often a horse will lose it in this situation and flip over backwards and even roll under the gates causing injuries to itself and the handlersriders. This loud crashing noise and more yelling further panics the other horses who are all prey animals and pick up on fear very easily. Once everything settles for a split second the gates are sprung open with a very loud bell and more screaming from the men. At first the horses probably do enjoy themselves because they are finally free of that starting gate and are burning away all the pent up energy. But still the riders are screaming and swearing at each other in a stressful way. Then as the race goes on the horses begin to tire it is now that any injuries they may have start to become more painful and they no longer want to run as fast. It is also now that they begin to get whipped. Trust me those whips hurt alot!!! Horses are thin skinned animals who can feel the lightest touch of a fly! If the horse has no more left to give it must simply endure the pain and more screaming and yelling. It is usually at this stage when the muscles are weakening that the bones and tendons take on more of the weight. During a gallop the horse only has one leg on the ground at any given time and they weigh 1000 lbs! I am currently just grooming horses but for a while I was exercising them and it was the most amazing feeling in the world to give them a quarter mile workout because all you had to do is balance over them and let them run!plus there's no starting gate. The farther workouts were not nearly as enjoyable because at the end you have to push them to keep going. Anyways just wanted to share my experiences and views on the situation. Many of the people who work in racing are not bad people but are just doing their jobs. I'm not saying they don't have a choice but the industry itself needs to change before the individuals will. P.S. I love that PETA finally has a hold of this topic but the one request I hated was the ban of Eight Belles jockey. He was just doing his job jockeys can actually get punished by the race stewards for not whipping a horse because it looks like they're trying to rig a race. And trust me he didn't know her legs were going to break while he was whipping her. If a horse goes down at that speed the rider can be seriously injured or killed. I don't know any rider who wouldn't pull up a horse if they thought its legs were going to break!!! Not that you can really tell until its too late. Watching the video I saw her tire of course!! but she didn't appear to have any obvious injury. I'm just mentioning this because it makes PETA look uneducated when they say something like this. ANY jockey would have ridden her the same way. It's the rules that need to change. Keep up the good work PETA!
Thank you PETA for standing up for Eight Belles and all horses. I am sick of the lies the pro horse racing crowd is saying about PETA and other organizations who care. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Go Big Brown!
ok horse racing is a cruel and unfair sport.i dont care what anybody says but yes ALL horses love to run but there is no need to make them run full speed for 1 mile or so. i have a 13 yr old AQH that was forced to run barrels with her colt tied around her neck.when i ride her if i let her sh ewould RUN from dusk till dawn.you dont let any animal run for a long perioind of time exspecially if it weighs 1000+ lbs.it can die of heat stroke or as any large animalbe euthenized for being lame.if a dog was used for police work or any thing that it needs it legs for if it broke its leg or its ankle bone snapped would it be fair to put it down??if a horse goes lame from racing it should be retired an go to therepy instead ok being killed.then it should be givin to a home that it wold be doing Light work or where small children will be riding it.HORSE RACING SHOULD BE BANNED!!!!
Thank you Fred an Lisa for the only good comments here. Race horse love to run.. and are treated very well they are worth millions an most live in barns I could only dream of having a house so good. Yes mistakes are made an yes there are accidents.. but these horses do what they love … Run … thats what they are bred for… if you don't believe that just watch the look on Big Browns face ears up looking to see who saw him when he crosses a finish line.. they love the applause an action just like any other athlete. If you want to critize talk to people who force their kids into hours of gymnastics and sports like wrestling.. every watched a 5 or 6 yr old cry and their partents ship them off to live with trainers. Every sport has a bad egg and loosing Eight Belles was a tragedy but she was safely an humanly put to sleep and did not suffer.
Horses some horses do love to run I agree. BUT horses do NOT love to run on injured legs. THAT is ridiculous plain and simple. I think it comes down to a bit of behavioural science. Horses are flight creatures. If they feel pain they are far more likely to try and run from it as part of a simple survival instinct rather than lie down and accept their fate. They certainly do not take pleasure from using injured limbs. And do any of you 'pro horse racing' types know anything about shock? Because it's very likely these poor creatures are suffering from it. Its very similar to when a dog or cat is hit by a car they dont know whats happend but they will usually try and get the hell out of there. Its our jobs as humans who are able to make sense out of these situations to look after our horses and take the lead every pack needs a leader and damn well stop! Dont LET the horse run when its injured! Dont keep whipping the poor thing ! If we as humans are so smart why are we not doing the intelligent thing by our horses. Regardless of whether or not you love horse racing something must change so that these animals are not being hurt! And just because you love horse racing does NOT mean that you love the horse.' And running a horse whos skeletal system is not yet fully developed is nothing short of intorelable cruelty.
I have to say that a lot if these comments are onesided. I know for a fact that horses in this sport are treated very well and owners and trainers work very hard to make sure the horses are comfortable and happy. I understand and acknowledge that there are quite a few "bad apples" in this sport and firmly believe that they should be punished and taken out of the sport. We need to work out a balance between keeping the sport alive and keeping the sport safefor all players. I support and applaud PETA for taking steps toward making this a reality although I think it is wrong to say that horse racing is awful and tortures horses all the time and deserves to burn in hell. Honestly bad things will happen in this world…to humans and animals and we are put on this planet to make sure that none of these things are intentional.
It causes me to wonder…. if these horses "love to run" as they say then why the need to whip them with a crop?
I feel I must make a comment here because I worked on the backside of the racetrack as a groom for 7 yrs and I have seen quite a bit in that time. What I don't agree with is people who are condemning the racing industry and all those involved as cruel and viscious people. That is not the case. Yes just like any sports industry whether it be dog racing horse racing or even human sports there are going to be shady people and illegal activities to enhance a performance. I'm in agreement 100 when it is stated that shouldn't be allowed. When you have to ice a horses legs for an hour before a race or give a horse enhancement drugs such as what we called a "milkshake" or pain killers then that is abuse. Pain should not be masked for those few furloughs of glory. But being a groom and having some wonderful horses under my care whom I adored as if they were my own I can say that the majority do love to race. You haven't seen the look on a horse's face as he looks towards the racetrack on race day. Or the when they know that they have a race that day and they just watch the horses head to the track awaiting their turn to go. It is something you will never know unless you are actually there to experience it. I have had a hard time just holding my horse back as he dances his way along the long walk to the saddling ring. This is what they were bred for and most do love what they do. But that doesn't hold true for all and if you have to force a horse to race then it isn't worth racing that horse because his heart isn't in it. Again that is falling along the lines of cruelty. I agree that this industry needs to be regulated more and horses should not run as young as they do but to condemn the industry is wrong. Many people in the racing industry do care very deeply about their horses but change needs to be done to regulated those that are in it to win it.
I love horse racing. Plain and simple. When horses break down on teh track they are nothign but accidents. Many many horses race every year and how many since Eight Belle's death have died? 1516. That still doesn't compete with the fact that a lot of horses race each year. Yes Thoroughbreds are born to run and they do love to run that would explain why Barbaro tried to keep running when his leg had already snapped same with Ruffian. You can't put words into horse's mouths whether or not they like to run or not. Horse racing is an exciting sport for horse trainer owner and rider. Just because every once in a while a horse breaks down and has to be euthanized doesn't mean all Thoroughbreds hate to run or are being "raced to death" or "tortured under the whip."
"As I mentioned before horses that dont make the cut get shipped off to slaughterhouses. The fact that anybody who knows this would still have the gall to comment on this blog saying that these animals are treated better than most humans is just too depressing to even think about." Do your research. In another popular horse sport threeday eventing two thirds of the horses competing are race horses who "didn't make the cut." More horses are bought and used for competition in other horse sports than shipped off to slaughter. I understand what your protesting the racing of horses which in my opinion is a ridiculous thing to protest but what are you suggesting happens instead? The horses just chill out in fields? As stated before these horses are born to work. They want to race and enjoy doing so. Based on what you have written I'm going to assume that you have never ridden a horse or at least a TB. They are competitors by nature. The minute you get on one you can feel how much they enjoy it and setting them out to just live in a field all day is more abuse than any trainer can give them. I advise you to ride and understand horses before you try to put labels on what they are doing.
The factsheet is in itself deceptive. It lumps steriods with lasix and bute. One is illegal while the other two are legal. Cross country runners bleed from the lungs. Do you know why? A churchill downs former PR guy is ful lof it. If trainers filled the horses with illegal drugs they WOULD get caught. Eight Belle's injury is simple she had more heart than training. The problem should lie at the feet of the trainer. sactioning him may be difficult but probably could be if he hasn't destroyed his training records. If the training records have been destroyed that should say something. It is a difficult situation. The PETA attorney was incorrect when he said bute masked pain for Eight Belle's. PETA needs to do some research also.
It's amazing how one sided the local Louisville KY newspaper is being about this horrible incident. Lisa Pinkston one of the Courier Journal's employees even cracked several jokes about the fate of Eight Belles on her forums through the CJ. When several posters replied that they were offended they were told to "lighten up". Sadly there's a lot of people who share the same view as her and its going to take a lot to change their attitudes.
PETA continues to ignore the fact that more horses break down every day working on farms than on race tracks. I assume they are working at providing your socalled "vegetarian" diet. I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years so don't point your stick at me. On another note our government has already banned the slaughter of horses for food. The problem lies in "meatmen" shipping horses to Mexico and Canada therefore circumventing laws set up to protect the horses. If PETA really wants to make a difference they should focus their energy on supporting a new bill in Congress that bans the export of thoroughbreds from the U.S. Why don't you go to Italy and Japan and give them a hard time? They eat our horses not us. Do you get it? FOCUS PEOPLE! And by the way horse do love to run!
It really can go either way…..my friend breeds and trains racehorses and she loves them like they are her children…on the other hand one of my four horses was a racehorse I purchased for 50 bucks at an autcion..he has scars all over him and wouldn't let me touch him for almost 6 months….
It's surprising to me how selfrighteous so many of these responses are and how little knowledge of racing they contain. Are there problems in racing? Absolutely and there are a lot of good people working to resolve them. Tracks have spent millions to switch to synthetic surfaces states are banning steroids organizations like the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation are finding exrace horses new homes. And these were begun or initiated years before Eight Belles's tragic breakdown. And for those of you who think she was injured prior to the Derby and was entered anyway are truly clueless her value as a broodmare was in the realm of $2.5 million before the Derby much more than the winner's share of $1.2 million. Before commenting on this situation or any situation and mindlessly typing in several $$$$ step back and ask yourself How much do I really know about this? From what I've read on here the answer seems to be not much.
Leslie you agree with Peta's accusations and yet you still remain a horse trainer breeder in Lexinton KY. May I ask why? Oh let me guess you love to watch the horses run because they love it so much! Nothing to do with the almighty $$$. Couldn't do it especially being one of the few that will admit to the various abuses behind the scenes are you that desperate for money that your whole career is built on exploitation abuse?
Thank you Jack its very important to hear your voice on the other side of the world as well in Hungary! So heartbreaking… and I have a sad memory of my own… Some years ago behind the iron curtain when I was in high school I used to go to the National Race Course in Budapest as an amateur helping in the morning care and riding to get the horses ready for the next races. In our stable we had a 3 years old stallion called Hermits Lamp a championtobe. Only a professional jockey was allowed to ride him we amateurs admired Lampion the Champion from afar. Previous to races the surface of the course had to be smoothened by harrow but many times the soil was just so hard like concrete. Poor soul was so nervous that Sunday we had to wash him three times before the start thinking back his instincts might have whispered to him couldnt finish the race he broke his left front ankle on a hard clot. But the horror just got worse when the vet said that because at dawn the horse goes anyway to the slaughter house hes not going to waste morphine on a dead animal!!! All of us stayed vigil that night with Lampion his groom from desperation was boiling spirit under his nose to dope him a bit put ice on his ankle. I hope I never going to see an animal in such agony but Lampions tears were running down his face and we cried with him then dawn came and he was taken away to the slaughter house After this surreal night I could not go to that place anymore realising that how money is abusing the great heart of these trusty beasts. Seeing the tragedy of Eight Belles unfortunately I had to realise that now after long years only death comes quicker for a race horse no honour no prevention no care Please keep on protesting for animals they need us more than ever or money will stoke all of us up!
personally i dont like horse racing. but if ppl treat their horses right which many of them dothen its ok with me. but im sure the horse racing industry could make things a little better i mean horses have helped us for so long.
i am not very clued up as to how things work but i do not agree with how they treat animals for the sake of our entertainment. train clowns or acrobats for gods sake because at least they have a say about what they do!
Look at what's happening in Puerto Rico now in the Thoroughbred racetrack. The absolute ethenisation of horses when they " dont run ". …and this is in the U.S. ! My father is a racehorse trainer in which he has been involved all his life he is one of the most successful humans and a hall of fame " horse whisperer ". Yes horseracing is not what it used to be and white trash people who get into the industry will do all kinds of inhumane practices to run a horse or keep it running. Horseracing is a very ancient sport but modern times have changed it a bit for some participants involved in exploitation of the animals.. these racehorses are better taken care of than some human beings on this planet.

No liability on parent company for asbestos exposure to employee of subsidiary
In Thompson v Renwick Group plc [2014] EWCA Civ 635, Mr Thompson was exposed to asbestos while working for his employer, a transport haulage company, during the mid-1970s. As a result of the exposure, he developed diffuse pleural thickening. At the relevant time, his employer was a subsidiary of Renwick but it had long since dissolved and no relevant insurer could be ascertained. The claim for damages was therefore brought against Renwick, alleging that it owed a duty of care directly to Mr Thompson. At first instance, before HHJ Platts, Mr Thompson succeeded. Simon Plaut and Robert Weir QC (of Devereux Chambers), instructed by Bond Dickinson, have succeeded in overturning that judgment…

The Staten Island Yankees took advantage of 10 walks and held on for a 4-3 New York-Penn League victory over the Vermont Lake Monsters on Tuesday night at.
The Lake Monsters' losing streak hits seven games.
The Yankees built a 4-0 lead on a Bubba Jones RBI single in the third inning and an RBI ground-rule double from Michael O'Neill in the fourth inning off Vermont starter Sosa (1-4), whose eight walks tied Jason Norderum in 2000 and Anthony Pearson in 2003 for most walks in a single game by a Lake Monsters pitcher.
Vermont scored a pair of unearned runs in the seventh as Josh Miller reached second on a Yankees error and scored on a RBI single from Luis Baez, who later scored on a Melvin Mercedes RBI groundout. Miller tripled with one out in the ninth and scored on a Baez sacrifice fly before Xavier Macklin grounded out to end the game. The Lake Monsters are now 8-12 in one-run games this season.
Mercedes was 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Lake Monsters, who played without both Boog Powell and Chad Pinder in the lineup.
Yankees starter Andrew Benak allowed four hits with no walks and eight strikeouts over five scoreless innings for the win.
The Lake Monsters (29-38) will try and snap the losing streak in the series finale at Staten Island tonight before heading to Tri-City for a doubleheader on Thursday.

7th June, 2014 (F1 Plus / Rosie Baillie) - Max Chilton qualified 18th for the Canadian Grand Prix but said there was definitely room for improvement on his fastest lap.
The Briton was unable to improve his lap after Marcus Ericsson's crash red flagged the session.
"That was a good lap, but there was definitely room for improvement, but the red flag put paid to that." he said.
Chilton said Marussia were surprised by his qualifying result as they expected to struggle at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
"We came here off the back of a great result for the Team in Monaco, but fully expecting to struggle rather more at a circuit that has never really suited our car in previous seasons." Chilton said.
"My plan for tomorrow is to aim to keep everyone behind me and hopefully have a nice fight with the cars ahead."
Marussia appered to make a huge step forward in Monaco where they scored their first points. Chilton says his qualifying performance suggests that their improvement is not a one-off.
The Briton said his performance in qualifying suggests that they are progressing and their performance in Monaco was not a one-off.
"We have to look on the bright side though because it's a further sign that our progress is genuine and not the product of one race." Chilton said.
Jules Bianchi qualified 18th after being out-qualified by Chilton for the fourth time this year.
"It's a disappointing way to end our qualifying because after the minimal running I had yesterday, we were back on it for FP3 this morning." Bianchi said.
The Frenchman was unable to improve on his lap time because the team had a problem starting his car.
"There was no chance to improve on the second because we had a problem starting the car and, in any case, the red flag came out and no one was able to improve." he said.
"We start with the Caterhams behind me, so I just have to focus on the race in front of me and I'm sure we can fight back and have a good race."

BOSTON � Claude Julien had no choice.
The Bruins coach was forced to juggle his defense when Andrew Ference was suspended.
Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle could have kept things the same, but that wouldn�t have been wise.
Not after Boston dominated Toronto 4-1 in the first game of their series.
Not after his players were outshot 40-20.
And certainly not after they kept committing turnovers and having trouble getting the puck out of their zone.
�We�ll have some changes,� Carlyle said after practice on Friday for Game Two on Saturday night. �What we�ve tried to do is just try to up the tempo of moving the puck.�
Did that message at practice get through?
�Of course, I think it�s gotten through,� he said, �but the results are what�s going to determine whether it has or hasn�t.�
The loss of Ference, a 13-year veteran and part of Boston�s second defensive pairing, is a setback.
The NHL suspended him for one game for elbowing Mikhail Grabovski in the head near the boards midway through the first period Wednesday night.
One possible replacement is Dougie Hamilton, who has had a strong rookie season but was a healthy scratch for the last three regular-season games and the first playoff game. He was drafted in the first round in 2011 with a pick acquired when the Bruins traded Phil Kessel to the Maple Leafs in September 2009.
�I grew up watching the playoffs and dreaming about playing in the playoffs,� Hamilton said. �Hopefully, I can bring some intensity.�
Ference didn�t think his absence would be costly.
�Guys will step right in, and it�ll be no problem,� he said. �Whether it�s an injury or something like this, guys step up and do the job.�
During practice on Friday, Julien broke up his top pairing of Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg. Chara skated with Adam McQuaid, Seidenberg was with Johnny Boychuk, and Hamilton was paired with Wade Redden, who had a goal and an assist Wednesday night.
Julien wouldn�t say he�d use that setup on Saturday or even that Hamilton would play.
�He might be a young player for the playoffs, but to me at this stage and the amount of games he�s played, he�s a veteran,� Julien said. �We don�t look at guys necessarily as rookies. We look at them as young players. But he�s a young player that�s probably going to be playing his first game, if not tomorrow, soon.�
Carlyle wasn�t relying on Boston�s loss of a key defenseman to solve his team�s problems, not when the Bruins have capable players to fill Ference�s role.
�They�re going to be looking for those guys to make it a seamless transition,� Carlyle said. �Obviously, Ference plays a lot of minutes. He�s one of their leaders. Again, it�s a team game. It�s not one individual that can win or lose a hockey game.�
For the Maple Leafs, it was a team performance that lost in the club�s first postseason game since 2004. After James van Riemsdyk put them ahead 1-0 on a power play 1:54 into the game, they had few solid chances.
The problems began in their defensive zone.
�The main thing for us is just being a little calmer in our own end and making better plays in getting it out,� forward Tyler Bozak said.
Defenseman Mike Kostka broke a finger in the game and is expected to be sidelined on Saturday. Jake Gardiner could fill that vacancy.

ISAF Sailing World Cup - Paralympic hopeful Megan Pascoe and the Star duo of Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson secured Britain's first medals of the ISAF Sailing World Cup event in Palma on Friday (8 April).
Megan Pascoe (2.4mR) - 42 Trofeo Princesa Sofia Mapfre
Pascoe claimed bronze for Skandia Team GBR on the final day of racing in the 2.4mR Paralympic class, while Percy and Simpson, the Olympic and World Champions, amassed an unassailable 27 point lead going into tomorrow's final 10-boat medal race in the men's keelboat event.
A total of fifteen British boats will compete across seven classes on the final day of this Princess Sofia Trophy – the third leg of the 2011 World Cup series
The 2.4mR – the only one of the three Paralympic classes to race in Palma – concluded their regatta on Friday, with the 24-year-old Pascoe sailing a consistent series to claim her first podium finish of the year.
'It's always nice to come away with a World Cup medal – it would have been nice to have a different colour but I did my best with what I had on the last day,' she explained, adding that a podium finish at the first event of the European season is a welcome confidence boost in a year where thoughts turn to Paralympic selection.
'I'm really happy with the medal, and to be top Brit as well,' Pascoe continued. 'Me and Helena work well together and we've got this pact where we'll do our best to get a Paralympic medal, whichever one of us is selected to compete there. It's nice this early on in the season to be top Brit, and hopefully I can hold on to it later in the year.'
Time away from the racecourse appears to not have harmed Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson, who are already assured gold a day ahead of time in the Star class. Their 27 point lead cannot be overturned, so they'll leave Palma with a welcome World Cup event victory as they start their 2012 campaign in earnest.
'We've had a good week and things have gone well but it was kind of one of those times where things worked out and some of our rivals didn't have good weeks,' Percy admitted.
'The result shows us to be a little bit further ahead than maybe we are, but still we're really happy. It's nice to win an event after such a long time away.
The 35-year-old continued: 'We didn't actually feel particularly quick this week. We're normally pretty fast and upwind certainly we weren't that quick so we've got to work on that a lot to try and get faster.
'You can sail well here and there, but one thing's for sure you have to be fast in this game and we weren't quite there this week. There's a little bit of work still to be done.'
A sixth race win of the series so far has extended Ben Ainslie's lead in the Finn class to 14 points over nearest rival Giles Scott going into the double-points scoring medal race on Saturday. The triple Olympic Champion is assured of silver but will look to close out his first event win of the year with a dominant display in the medal race.
'We'll see how I get on tomorrow,' said Ainslie. 'The medal races are always tight, it's obviously double points so I've got to go out and sail another good race and hopefully I can do that and make it all count.'
World Champion Ed Wright will be the third British boat to feature in the Finn medal race – he'll start the day in seventh place.
The Laser class will see a fascinating showdown between the Australian World Champion Tom Slingsby, and Skandia Team GBR's Paul Goodison, the Olympic Champion, and Nick Thompson who are all effectively tied going into the final race. With no other contenders within reach of the podium spots, their finishing positions on the water tomorrow will determine the colours of their respective medals.
Nick Dempsey drew closer to the series leader, Dutchman Dorien van Rijsselberge, in the men's RS:X windsurfing event and will look to overcome a six point gap in the double-points scoring race tomorrow, while the 470 women's pairing of Penny Clark and Katrina Hughes will push for their second straight World Cup podium finish. They're fourth going into the final day, six points away from bronze, while development squad duo Sophie Weguelin and Sophie Ainsworth also make the medal race cut in ninth place.
In the 470 men's event Luke Patience-Stuart Bithell and Nic Asher-Elliot Willis are poised in fourth and fifth place with a chance of making the medal spots, while in the 49er class Paul Brotherton and Mark Asquith are the top Skandia Team GBR of four in the final 10-boat race tomorrow. They're fifth overall, with Dylan Fletcher-Alain Sign in seventh, Stevie Morrison-Ben Rhodes in eighth and John Pink-Rick Peacock tenth.
The women's match racing team of Lucy Macgregor, Annie Lush and Kate Macgregor missed out on the medal chances , losing their quarter-final to 3-2 to Sally Barkow (USA), while windsurfer Bryony Shaw and GBR's Laser Radial sailors will also sit out the last day of racing after missing out on the 10 medal race places.

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Mexico is sending illegal Cuban migrants home for the first time under a new immigration accord.
A Mexican immigration official says authorities are preparing to send the Cubans back to the communist island after they were caught in Mexico.
The official is not releasing additional information.
Cuban immigrants trying to reach the United States have turned to Mexico in recent years after it became harder to enter through Miami. Almost all were given temporary visas in Mexico and continued on to the U.S.
In October, Mexico agreed to send the Cubans home. An Associated Press photographer in Cancun saw about 60 immigrants being loaded on to buses early Thursday, and some said they were being sent to Cuba.
A Cuban Embassy official had no information.

Gilpatrick, Breanne, Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy
The upcoming presidential election and actions of the current presidential administration have sparked numerous debates about the proper role of government in areas such as the economy, national security, and healthcare, among others. The 2011 Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention: "The Constitution of Small Government?" asked scholars to grapple with some of these issues. As always, we are pleased to bring you several Essays adapted from the Convention.
In two Essays analyzing the Supreme Court's decision in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church & School v. EEOC, Professors Michael W. McConnell and Douglas Laycock--two lawyers involved in the case--discuss the Court's extension of the "ministerial exemption" from employment discrimination laws.
As part of a panel titled Federalism: Meet the New Boss: Continuity in Presidential War Powers, Professor Michael D. Ramsey discussed the similarities between the exercise of presidential war powers in Bush and Obama administrations. His Essay, adapted from that talk, argues that not only has President Obama exercised many of the same war powers, he also has expanded those powers in certain areas to relatively muted criticism.
The Convention's Annual Rosenkranz Debate addressed what is undoubtedly the most controversial topic before the Court this Term: the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Constitutional law scholar Laurence H. Tribe and Paul Clement, former Solicitor General and the attorney who represented those challenging the Act, debated whether passing the Act fell within Congress's constitutional authority. Both of them graciously agreed to adapt their remarks for the Journal.
We also bring you Articles on two different legal and ethical dilemmas facing practicing attorneys. First, Mr. Michael D. Bopp and Ms. DeLisa Lay analyze how common law evidentiary privileges apply to subjects of congressional investigations. Next, Mr. Aaron Tang discusses the ethical dilemma attorneys face when opposing a petition for certiorari before the Supreme Court.
We round out Volume 35 with a student piece by Deputy Editor-in-Chief Jacob Spencer that takes a look at the legal landscape after the Supreme Court's decision in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion and discusses when, if ever, class waivers would make an otherwise valid arbitration agreement unenforceable because they preclude claimants from effectively vindicating their statutory rights.
This will be my last Issue serving as the Journal's Editor-in-Chief, and I can honestly say my work for the Journal has been the most rewarding part of my law school experience. …

Thread: Child maintenance- backdated?
Child maintenance- backdated?
Do they backdate child maintenance from the date of the breakup or the date the forms were filled in?
Im claiming through my income support form, if that makes a difference.
The way it worked with my claim was that it was backdated from the date they managed to contact my ex (a whole 8 months after i made the claim ) but I have heard it's been different for other people
You can never really tell what the CSA are going to do I'm off to phone them for the 3rd time in 2 weeks about money i've not received yet, are they chasing it up? are they ****
Ugh. I waited this long to claim (split up Feb 3rd) because I thought we could sort it out ourselves. I dont want to be minus two months of CM because hes refusing to talk at all!
Eight months!? Was that them being slow or your ex being unco-operative?
Probably a mixture of both tbh
Hope you get yours sorted quickly
i have been waiting 2 yrs to get mine sorted we had an arrangement and he stopped paying in january 06 and have just started getting payment and back pay as they take it straight from his wage now as he was not paying. if you ring them and pester them every day they soon get their back sides in gear i started pestering them in october and got my first payment in january even tho they had said it may be 6 months yet
I just had a letter from csa and he has made a arrears payment of over £1000 and he has to pay £196 a month. Hes a police officer too so would not look too good if he did not pay up. Thing is he has not paid a penny for 9 years so about time.
I work just 16 hrs a week and get wtc and ctc and get to keep all the maintenance . If i was on income support which i tried to get before i got my new job i would have only been allowed to keep £10.00 of the maintenance. The rest would have gone back in to the "system".
It took them 7 months but good luck hun. Keep a little folder with all csa stuff in and document who you talk to and when.
debbie x
ive never recieved ANY paper work from the CSA?? is that normal? I first contacted them early nov
Hi, Not much paper work at first. We had to have DNA tests as my ex disputed paternity and it came back 99.9999999% positive . I knew 100% but he had to pay for the test. It held things up for a bit but then as soon as that was done and they calculated how much ex needed to give they sent out a payment schedule which tells me when he has to pay and when and how much.
If things are slow ring them up and ask them how long . They are supposed to follow a thing whereby each element can take up to a certain amount of time. Obviously they come against probs but they should be informing you as to what is happening but they don't. I used to ring up on the 1st of each month to get an update.
good luck
my claim is backdated from today as this is when i filled the forms in, even though los have ben with me well over 15 months( for complicated and personal reasons i dont want to go in to, they lived with their father, big mistake, i will not get backdated at all i was told)
You only get to keep £10 if your on income support!?
Thats disgusting. Exes money should go to his daughter, not be eaten up by anyone else
I first made my claim with CSA in September last year, they told me ex would be contacted within a week, 2 at the most. In fact, they didn't contact him until February despite having his address, house phone number, work number and mobile number Also, ex was fully co-operative so no real reason for the delay. I have just recieved my first payment, ex and I, despite not being on the best of terms, have now made a private arrangement as we were both so p*ssed off with the CSA.
Also, they start your claim from when they first make contact with your ex, they will not backdate it any further unfortunately.
How confusing!
I have a friend with a daughter who's 19 now, but she's never tried to claim maintenence from the dad 'cos he was such a waster. They heard thru the grapevine that he's doing pretty comfortably finaincially now, and the daughter has heard she might be able to claim the past NINETEEN YEARS in maintanence from him.
Anyone know anything about this.....? xx

Hi Libby. Not through the Child Support Agency, no.
I was informed (regarding the CSA this is) it was from the first initial contact with the absent partner by the CSA themselves once you've given them the relevant information that a claim could be processed from.
im on income support and had my 6 month check last week and was told any maintenance payments are mine to keep for my lo's and do not and will not affect my benifit in anyway....whos keepin ur money???? maintance is for the upbringing of you children not the goverment. also my maintenence got bk dated to the day i put claim in, he misses payments and when he does i ring them everyday if you keep on they will sort it lol gd luck ladies!! x

This is an old thread that has been added to. Up until 12th April this year, any child support payments were clawed back by the government with the lone parent only getting to keep £20 per week of it if they were on income support - it used to be £10 a week.
The CSA guidance dictates that support can only be backdated to the date that the MEF was sent to the non resident parent. It cannot be backdated earlier than this, and if it is, the non resident parent is entitled to either off-set that amount against support owed or due, or a refund of the money.
child maintanance
Hi, I had a messy break up in 2003 due to domestic violence and was too scared to try and claim money for my two children from their father. I have now moved away from the area and want to try and get some money from him and just wondered what the chances are of getting any backdated although it has been 8 years and some advice on how to go about it. thanks x
