The best thing about the Commonwealth Games is that they are exactly like the Olympics except we win heaps more medals. The worst thing about the Commonwealth Games is that they are exactly like the Olympics in that Australia inevitably wins heaps more medals than we do. As the XX Commonwealth Games come to a close, it is time to look back at the sporting spectacle that was Glasgow 2014.
Judo is one of those sports I will never understand. I'm sure it takes a lot of skill, athleticism and determination to be a Commonwealth-level judoka but to the outside world it will always look like two people in pyjamas play-fighting until they end up on the ground grabbing each other and one of them begs the other to stop. Meanwhile, a dude in a suit stands watching them grapple and saying random Japanese words, which apparently have some point-scoring basis.
The good things about judo at Glasgow 2014 were that: (a) judo seems like a good skill to have on a night out in Glasgow; and (b) we were relatively good at it and won some medals. Unfortunately, we tended to win silver medals at judo, which meant that on television the highlights consisted of us losing, but honourably.
The Commonwealth Games 2014 has also taught me the truth about hockey, which is that the point of the game is not to score goals but to hit the ball on to the foot of your opponent until someone blows a whistle. To me hockey is one of those sports, a bit like judo, full of rules I don't really understand. I feel any sport where you arm people with clubs should have fewer rules, not more; to make it a more gladiatorial spectacle.
We won a gold medal in the women's 50-metre Rifle Prone event. "Prone" is a strange word, especially when applied to shooting, where it tends to imply a rather tragic outcome to the event. Shooting is probably the least televisual of any Commonwealth Games sport, so I wonder if at future games they will try and jazz things up by trading out the word "prone" for the much more exciting "sniper". From there it will be only a matter of time until they add the 50-kmh Drive-by to the shooting programme.
With apologies to Mark Todd et al, one of the best things about the Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2014 is that there are no equestrian events. It has always bugged me at the Olympics that there are all these events where the horse seems to do all the hard work but it is the human who gets the medal. This does not seem fair to the horses, especially seeing as they have a much shorter lifespan than their riders. Also, not having equestrian events means no dressage, which is the least interesting sport in the entire world of sport.
The Commonwealth Games does, however, have rhythmic gymnastics, which is like synchronised swimming on land. This is to say it is an often physically impressive sport, with the tossing of the balls and the hoops and the clubs and the rolling round on the floor, but it seems to have no real point or connection to the real world, outside of auditioning for the Cirque du Soleil.
Glasgow has looked good through the whole event, even when it was raining like it usually does in Glasgow. I spent some time there many years ago and absolutely loved the place, and I am sorry that they haven't added to the Games some of the traditional Glasgow sports I witnessed while I was there. My favourite one was a sort of running race through the streets, where supporters of one football team chased supporters of another through the traffic. It is a form of triathlon involving drinking, fleeing and fighting.
With Glasgow 2014 almost done and dusted, it is time to start contemplating (with some trepidation) the next Commonwealth Games: the Gold Coast 2018. Will the organisers add sports in keeping with the GC's cultural ethos, like Tanning, Wet T-shirt Modelling and Gambling? Will GC 18 be the first ever Commonwealth Games where several triathletes fail to finish the swim leg due to being stung to death by box jellyfish and/or eaten by saltwater crocodiles? How many tonnes of sequins and rhinestones will be used in the opening ceremony and will it go down in history as the tackiest opening to any sporting event ever?
So many questions we'll have to wait four years to answer. About the only thing we do know for sure about the Commonwealth Games of the Gold Coast 2018 is that Australia will win more medals than us, because that is just the way of the world.

Rescue bid to stop club going south
Page Tools
Friends of South Melbourne and other supporter action groups are optimistic that their $450,000 rescue package can save the four-time Australian champion from extinction.
A creditors meeting next week will be presented with a range of options, one of which will be to cut their losses and accept a partial settlement of the club's outstanding debts of $1.7 million.
If the creditors give the scheme the go-ahead, South will survive. If not, it will likely go into liquidation.
Survival would mean that South Melbourne could continue as a legal entity and field a team in the elite state competition, the Victorian Premier League, next season.
It also would mean that it could retain its lease on the State Government-owned Bob Jane Stadium at Albert Park.
That could give it leverage for involvement with the consortium bidding for the sole Victorian franchise in the new Australian Premier League next year.
Bob Jane Stadium could be used as a training ground or match venue for the fledgling club, giving the state's best-known soccer club at least some input into the new team, which will be the sport's flagship in Victoria.
The Friends of South group, backed by supporters' organisations such as South Saviours, have raised $450,000 in partial defrayment of the $1.7 million debt South is carrying.
Among the biggest creditors are the Australian Taxation Office, which is owed almost $390,000, and the Victorian Government's State Revenue Office, which is owed $230,000 for unpaid payroll tax.
The priority claimants include the players - who are owed $117,525 in wages and almost $31,000 in bonuses - and administrative staff, who are owed almost $14,000. Almost $175,000 is owing in superannuation charges.
The club's directors, owed $355,000 between them, have agreed to waive any dividend payment, effectively writing off their debt.
The biggest director creditor is South president Peter Mitrakis, who is owed $145,000, with PSW Pty Ltd the next biggest, with liabilities of $130,000.
Leo Athanasakis, Peter Skrepetis, George Livaditis and Philip Diamantaris are all listed as being owed $20,000 in documents prepared by CJL Partners, appointed as administrators of the club last month.
The employee creditors would be the first to be paid if the creditors meeting gives the proposal the go-ahead and a deed of company arrangement is entered into. They would be paid off at a rate of about 49 cents in the dollar.
The rate at which unsecured creditors would be settled with is about 15 cents in the dollar.
Lazarus Papasavas, spokesman for the Friends of South group, said: "We are very close to saving the club and ground by getting it out of administration. We have to appease the creditors and keep the administrators happy and we are hopeful we can do both things.
"The fact that we have been able to raise such a significant amount of money shows that people do care about the club."

Main Breaker goes off....
I have 4 vacation rental apartments with there own breakers running off a main breaker. The main breaker is big enough.
Twice now the main breaker goes off and no others. This makes it difficult to isolate the problem of course.
1. Under what situation would the main breaker go off and not the smaller ones?
2. What should I do to correct this problem?
I need to change electricians but anything else?
Thanks all
The main breaker usually kicks off when too much load has been placed on it
Also possible its getting older & failing
How big is big enough?
What does your electric load calc for the 4 places come out to ?
This very well can be a simple short circuit in one of the units. The main breaker might just be tripping before the branch circuit breakers.
Have you spoken to each tenants about exactly what they were doing when the breaker tripped?
It might be faulty.
Main breaker is 60A 100Volts. No idea as for the electric load calculation.
Thanks for the reply.
60A is pretty small for a 4 apartment dwelling. A couple microwaves, a toaster oven or two, and a hair dryer could easily pop that breaker every morning.
Scuba Dave picked up on the same thing as I did, as soon as you said "The main breaker is big enough." a big red flag went up. Without a load calculation or a lot of experience in the matter, you can't determine whether it is big enough or not.
In most areas the power company will tell you to talk to an electrician since this matter is on your side of the meter. I would look at either an overload (too much current is being drawn) or a short circuit. Talking to your tenants first is your best bet.
Thanks all
2)Yeah I think that has what happened, I never really realized how many amps we use but it looks like any one of these is from 5 to 15 amps and I can see running out of power easily.
3) Hey, I relied on a licensed electrician. What can I say!
4)The power company owns the main breaker.
Thanks all

Each Wednesday of the 2010 season, one of the Michigan women's soccer captains -- Jackie Carron, Kylie Neschke and Clare Stachel -- will give you a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the U-M program.
The Yellow Armband with Kylie Neschke
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 -- Go Big or Go Home
The start of our Big Ten season is exciting enough, however just to add a little more anticipation for this weekend, our schedule has us opening the conference against our biggest rivals ... the awkward tree nut, AKA the Ohio State Buckeyes. While they may have one of the lamest mascots ever, we cannot take this team lightly. We are going out there fast and physical this Sunday to win, not just with style (by this I mean soccer finesse AND our team's gorgeous looks), but we really send a message to OSU and the rest of the Big Ten that we are a real threat in this highly competitive conference. The game will take place Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. in our amazing stadium. We can't wait to see all of our amazing fans this Sunday to help cheer us on as we go for a big win against OSU! HAIL!

Krylov subspaces and the analytic grade
Ilic, Milos & Turner, Ian W. (2005) Krylov subspaces and the analytic grade. Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications, 12(1), pp. 55-76.
Typical behaviour of the solution of a linear system of equations obtained iteratively by Krylov methods can be characterized by three stages. Initially the residual diminishes steadily; this is followed by stagnation and finally rapid convergence near the algebraic grade. This study examines this behaviour in terms of the concepts of approximately invariant subspace and what we have called the analytic grade of a Krylov sequence. It is shown how the small Ritz values play a vital role in the convergence and how this knowledge helps in the construction of an effective preconditioner.

We shouldn't be depressed, says Steve Dean
THE HIGH-profile breed veterinary checks had been something of a distraction, according to Kennel Club chairman Steve Dean, who in an interview with DOG WORLD said he understood they had made people feel upset and angry.
He had not been surprised by the reaction to the introduction of the checks at Crufts, he said, but he believed that some of the negative reaction had been caused by a total misunderstanding of what the checks were for.
This was disappointing, he said, and his message was to stop bickering and to get together to move canine health forward.
"If a dog fails (the check) you expect a reaction. Ive been disappointed, in fact, that many people dont seem to have understood what the health checks are about, he said. "We spent over a year talking to breed clubs and judges and show societies and I would have hoped that it would have filtered out to the wider dog-showing community but it appears that this is not the case.
He said Crufts had proved there was a massive gap between what vets were looking for with regard to healthy eyes and judges and exhibitors understanding of it, and a seminar was being organised to address that.
On the subject of eye health he said: "Im not saying vets got it absolutely right, but that a common agreement had to be reached between the vets, judges, exhibitors and breeders.
And he revealed it was likely that one of the breeds would be off the list by Crufts 2013 the Chinese Crested, which had been put on the list only because of over-zealous shaving and use of depilatory creams.
He was asked his views on the fact that six of the 15 breeds checked failed at Crufts, but only two dogs have done so since.
"I dont doubt that the vets have learnt a great deal, no doubt exhibitors learnt a great deal and Im pretty certain judges are being particularly careful about which dogs they put forward, so there has been something of a learning curve, he said. "And I suspect that that has influenced which dogs are taken to shows and which dogs are put up.
"I regard that as entirely good news the whole point of the high-profile vet check, which is to confirm that the dogs going forward into the group are in good health and that justifies the show ring being used as a show case for health, and I think that is to be applauded.
He said the high-profile breeds had made huge strides forward. "And we have to make sure that the dogs who go forward into the group demonstrate that point.
"Its very disappointing that some exhibitors are deciding not to challenge. The whole point is to prove the dogs are healthy, and unfortunately by not competing they have reduced the opportunity for the breed to establish evidence to show that dogs going through are healthy.
"From a KC perspective if they dont challenge and dont get looked at by a vet it doesnt help us very much to defend the breed to the outside world. So its a somewhat pointless exercise. I respect that people have strong feelings about this, but that sort of demonstration is not for the benefit of the breed.
He added the number of BOBs undergoing and passing the check would be one of the factors towards that breed being removed from the high-profile list.
Prof Dean was asked whether the General Committee would be reviewing the health-check system.
"We realised after Crufts that the vets guidance was written largely in vet speak, so we have said about turning that into a form of words that judges and exhibitors understand, so it is absolutely transparent what the vet is being asked to look for, he said. "The redrafting is coming to a close and will most likely go to the high-profile breeds first so they can be comfortable with it
"Veterinary checks leaflets are always available on our website, but we will make sure we learn from what happened in the run-up to Crufts and make sure the wider show community sees it as well We realised after Crufts that there was massive gap between what vets are looking for with regard to eyes and what judges and exhibitors are looking for, and we are putting together a seminar to bring vets, judges and exhibitors together to talk about canine eye health.
He said that some breeds had made huge steps forward with regard to eyes and that the top-winning show dogs were at the better end of the scale.
He continued: "We have to put judges in a position where they are certain what theyre looking for, and that is the bit we have to get right. We have to reach a common agreement. Im not saying vets got it absolutely right but we have to come to a common agreement so that judges, exhibitors, breeders and vets all have a common aim.
"What we are interested in is healthy dogs, and I want to see dogs who Im fairly confident arent walking around with sore eyes.
Prof Dean was asked about the Canine Alliance, formed by those unhappy about what happened to some bests of breed at Crufts and which now has 1,800 members.
"I dont have any particular message for any particular group of people, he said. "I think the message is the same across the piece. We all seem to agree that we want our dogs to be healthy. What we need to do is work together and make sure we achieve that.
"If the introduction of these checks has come as a shock I would urge people to make sure that in aftermath of that shock they make sure they fully understand why theyre being done and how they fit in to the overall objective on health, because these checks are just one aspect of making sure the show ring is a showcase for healthy stock.
He went on: "My message is we stop bickering and get together to make sure were moving health forward, and I personally think the BOB health checks are something of a distraction. I understand it has caused upset and quite a bit of anger, but quite a bit of that has been through misunderstanding.
The real issue was canine health, he said.
"Out there we have the Associate Parliamentary Group for Animal Welfare, who keep a very strong eye on what pedigree dogs are doing, and the Dog Advisory Council which is also busy working away putting ideas together, and we need to band together and make sure were ready to counter that, because Im sure we all agree most of the health problems dont come from the core of breeders who exhibit dogs.
"We have to remember that we are in good order and then we can take the battle to the people who are really the problem, the puppy farmers, and the only way we can do that is work together. At the moment we are distracting ourselves and putting energy into the wrong area when we should be making sure were dealing with indiscriminate breeders who are the big problem.
He said that if a breed is removed from the list it will be put on probation to be kept an eye on but during that period BOB would not need to be health checked.
"Whether we can make progress to get any other breeds off is questionable, only because theres not a great deal of time to go between now and next Crufts, he said.
He went on: "My postbag is slightly in favour of health checks. Some people feel we should be checking every dog as it comes into showground. But one of the people at the AGM from one of the big shows explained that that would be very difficult to achieve.
"There is a move or an opinion that we should be getting people to have health certificates done once or twice a year but the point was made at the meeting that this would only be valid at point of vet check. There is nothing to say that a dog whos in good health on January 1 will be in good health on December 31.
He said the point of the checks was to look for areas of exaggeration.
"Thats how we ended up with 15 breeds, because certainly 14 of these breeds are typically criticised for exaggerated conformation relating to health.
Prof Dean was asked about the recent annual meeting, which attracted 25 per cent of the membership, and he said the KC had booked the larger venue of the Royal Institution of GB, which held up to 400. He said he thought members had been given plenty of time to discuss hot topics such as the high-profile breed veterinary checks and a two-tier registration system. He saw no reason to move the meeting elsewhere, such as Stoneleigh, and that the majority of members were keen for it to stay in London. About a third of the number present in the morning were there for the veterinary checks debate, he estimated.
After the interview he was asked whether he thought the more contentious agenda items, which would prompt lengthy discussion, should be heard sooner.
"The rules of the KC are quite clear that reports from the General Committee, consideration of the accounts and auditors report, election of president, vice- presidents and members of the General Committee, and appointment of auditors, all come before matters of general business duly submitted to the meeting in other words the main points of business are required to be dealt with before discussion points, he said. "I would add that, as you will be aware, it is extremely unusual for the meeting to go on as long as it did so it would seem rather unnecessary to change the rules for what amounts to a one-off situation.
During the interview with DW in London, he was asked whether he thought it hypocritical that the KC, having introduced the checks, was still registering dogs from breeders who did no health tests relevant to their breed.
"We need to make sure our registration system is fit for purpose for the future, he replied, "and that the registration system should in some way recognise people who are doing all the right things when breeding dogs. From a General Committee point of view the Assured Breeder Scheme is what we would point to as achieving that.
Referring to the two-tier registration system proposed at the AGM, Prof Dean said he had no great objection to something like that. "But the point was made at the meeting that we need to make sure we dont turn into some kind of boutique type of system whereby only certain dogs are allowed in, he said.
At a time when many dog people depressed, did the KC have any plans to encourage new people into dogs and keep the interest of those already in it, Prof Dean was asked.
"Ive been around dog shows for more than 30 years and even then people were depressed about the dog show world, so its nothing new, he said, adding: "I dont think people should be so depressed. Were in a tough time moneys tight and lifes pretty difficult, so we need to get out there and enjoy a little bit of fun.
"Maybe we are going to see a reduced entry because people cant afford to travel so far, but we shouldnt be so depressed. Were now increasingly seeing the world of pedigree people breeding healthy stock and people wanting pedigree dogs. The number of hits on the KCs website by people looking for pedigree dogs or rescue pedigree dogs is enormous. People want them so why are we so depressed? Lets get out there and enjoy them!

Moule to roost with Sea Eagles
Page Tools
Former Melbourne centre Aaron Moule is considering making an NRL comeback for Manly next season. Moule, who played in the Storm's 1999 premiership-winning side, stunned teammates and club officials when he suddenly quit last year but has since returned to the game in Britain.
The 27-year-old Queenslander is contracted to Widnes for another season but it is understood he has an escape clause and wants to return home.
Manly missed out on Newcastle's Timana Tahu and Canberra centre Joel Monaghan recently, and Sea Eagles executive director Paul Cummings yesterday confirmed the club was interested in Moule.
"We have been advised that he wants to come back to Australia and it is certainly something that we are looking at," Cummings said. "Our intention was always to recruit two forwards and an outside back. We've got Ben Kennedy and Brent Kite but we're still looking for a centre and he falls into that category.
"At the moment, Aaron is out injured but he is still contracted over there, so it's a matter of him getting a release before we can do anything."
Moule, who joined Melbourne from South Queensland in 1998, scored 58 tries in his 104 games for the Storm but was troubled by groin problems towards the end of his stint there.
Widnes announced this week that Moule was likely to miss the rest of the Super League season after he had surgery last Friday to repair a torn knee cartilage.
Meanwhile, NSW Origin centre Mark Gasnier is expected to announce his playing future next week, but St George Illawarra appear resigned that he will take up an offer from Wigan and are eying South Sydney's Lee Hookey as a replacement.
Cronulla are expected to finalise a deal next week with Parramatta to release five-eighth Adam Dykes back to the club where he began his career.
The Sharks held further negotiations yesterday with veteran fullback David Peachey and suspended five-eighth Greg Bird and hope to re-sign both by Tuesday.
The Sydney Roosters yesterday announced the recruitment of Penrith forward Richard Fa'Aoso on a two-year deal. Fa'Aoso, who made his NRL debut two weeks ago in Melbourne, was a member of the 2003 Junior Kangaroos.
Newcastle, who yesterday tabled a three-year deal for Melbourne forward Kirk Reynoldson, re-signed centre George Carmont.
Canberra have been linked to Brisbane winger Craig Frawley, who is being viewed as a centre replacement for Monaghan.
The NRL plans to start accrediting player agents within a month. Under the scheme, applicants would appear before a panel chaired by a solicitor and involving representatives of secondary schools, agents, the players' association and the league.
"Initially being accredited would not be compulsory but the idea is that if you are not accredited, players would eventually be less inclined to employ you," said NRL chief executive David Gallop, who was joined by many agents at the national secondary schools championships at St Marys yesterday.
Gallop has written to Richard Lewis, executive chairman of Britain's Rugby Football League, to lock in the World Club Challenge next February. While the door has been left ajar for it to be held in Australia, Gallop said Britain was a more likely venue.

Comment about: Houston Texans 6'' x 6'' Logo Car Magnet
If you are going to purchase this vehicle magnet, be careful not to tear it when trying to remove it from the packaging. The directions tell you to push between the horns to pop the magnet out, it will tear the top horn off if you do this. Use scissors and cut it out like the manufacturer should have done for you in the first place.

An illegal rooftop party ended when a drunk student fell through a skylight into a Dunedin lawyer's office.
Police were alerted to the early morning high jinks at the five-storey Moran building just before 1am on Saturday.
Senior Sergeant Brian Benn said four students were nabbed escaping to nearby Bath St, after an alarm had been triggered in the Octagon building.
That alarm was triggered after one of the students - a 19-year-old male - fell through a skylight and into the kitchen of Octagon Chambers.
The four were charged with being unlawfully in a building, and were likely to face a hefty repair bill, Snr Sgt Benn said.
''It is clear that alcohol and altitude don't mix,'' he said.
The group had shimmied between two rain-soaked buildings before climbing a fire escape to access the roof, a practice that is believed to be promoted via social networking sites.
The latest incident comes almost a year since Octagon Chambers barrister David More told the Otago Daily Times that ''something more serious may happen'' following a similar incident when three drunk students were nabbed on the roof.
''This has been a problem for a couple of years, but it is only last year and this year it has been more than a joke,'' he said yesterday.
Booze and rubbish had been left on the roof and, once, a window had been smashed and beer taken from a refrigerator.
Although those involved in last year's incident received diversion, it was now ''beyond a joke and should be frowned upon''.
Mr More said he planned to talk to the building manager in an effort to improve security.

Location: The southern Rocky Mountain population occurs from south-central Wyoming southward through the mountainous regions of Colorado to extreme north-central New Mexico. The toads inhabit a variety of wet habitats (i.e., marshes, wet meadows, streams, beaver ponds, glacial kettle ponds, and lakes interspersed in subalpine forest) at altitudes primarily between 8,000-11,500 feet.
Threats: A globally occurring disease of amphibians that is commonly known as chydrid fungus is believed to be the major factor in the decline of the southern Rocky Mountain population of the boreal toad.
Recent Actions: On May 25, 2011, the Service received a petition from the Center for Biological Diversity, Center for Native Ecosystems, and Biodiversity Conservation Alliance, requesting the agency list either the Eastern population or Southern Rocky Mountain population of the boreal toad (Anaxyrus boreas boreas) as a threatened or endangered distinct population segment (DPS) under the Endangered Species Act (Act). We have completed a 90-day petition finding for the Eastern population and Southern Rocky Mountain population of the boreal toad. We have determined that there is substantial information in the petition and in our files that the Eastern population of the boreal toad may qualify as a DPS and that listing under the Act may be warranted. Additionally, we determined that the petition and our files did not contain substantial information that the Southern Rocky Mountain population of the boreal constitutes a DPS. However, the Southern Rocky Mountain population, which includes New Mexico, Colorado, and southeastern Wyoming, is part of the larger Eastern population. The Eastern population of this amphibian occurs in portions of Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming.

Technical Abstract: The Uniform Regional Scab Nursery for Spring Wheat Parents (URSN) was grown for the 11th year in 2005. Six mist-irrigated locations at Brookings, SD, St. Paul and Crookston, MN, Prosper and Langdon, ND, and Glenlea (Manitoba, Canada) were planted in 2005. The Glenlea and Crookston locations encountered problems and thus are not included in this annual report. A total of 43 entries were included in the 2005 URSN, including the resistant checks 2375, BacUp, and ND2710, and the susceptible checks Wheaton and Oslo. The other 38 entries were contributed by university, industry, and national breeding programs. Seven of these entries were durums, and the others were hard red spring wheat. A core set of traits evaluated provided from most locations included scab incidence, scab severity, disease index (incidence x severity), and visual scabby kernel ratings (VSK = tombstone). Additional recorded trait data such as grain deoxynivalenol content, plot yield, and heading date are presented in individual location summary tables. Overall means for traits across locations are presented as are relative rankings for scab incidence, severity, disease index, and VSK. Correlation coefficients are provided between scab incidence and severity, disease index, and VSK.

I have these tiny little white bumps all over the tops of both my arms. I exfoliate, use mediacted body wash, but nothing seems to get rid of them. I get married in September and really want rid of it. I it is Milia, is there a way I can get rid of it cheaply and for good?
How to Get Rid of Milia on Arms?
Doctor Answers 2
Keratosis Pilaris
It sounds like Keratosis Pilaris which can be treated with Umecta and or Hydro 40 foam (prescription needed) to the arms as needed. Keratosis Pilaris can be controlled but not cured. Good luck and be well.

White bumps on the forearms
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. See a dermatologist to confirm that's what your bumps are. Sundamage can cause milia or large whiteheads, but no topical cream tends to work. If the dermatologist agrees with your diagnosis, then they can be expressed with an easy office procedure.

Consumers' Voice New Zealand, an advocacy group for victims of poor social service care, has called for the naming of the "disgraced" social workers implicated in the death of a 12-year-old girl while in the care of CYF.
Convenor Steve Taylor, speaking after the inquest five years after the girl's death, said the unnamed social workers had taken statutory negligence to a whole new level. If it was good enough for counsellors, psychologists and mental health workers to be named and shamed by the Health and Disability Commissioner, DHBs and various professional associations it was good enough for CYF social workers to be held to account in similar fashion.
"It is highly likely that (the girl) will not have been the only child put at risk by such casual and incompetent intervention, and the parents, caregivers and the public have a right to know who these social workers are in order to be guarded from them," he said.
"Sadly, this event is just another indictment against an agency that actively resists external role supervision, abhors the idea of an external complaints process and ignores the need to be meaningfully accountable to families in crisis, preferring instead to shut down any and all criticism.
"Until there is meaningful external accountability of CYF the internal PR machine that is the senior management of the agency will continue to obfuscate, cloud and divert any negative attention from them, which means that more children will be at risk."
The inquest decision, much of which was suppressed, noted that Child, Youth and Family had admitted failing the girl, who took her own life while in foster care after she claimed to have been sexually abused by a caregiver. She was found dead in her bedroom by her younger sister at their foster home on September 13, 2008.
She was one of eight children from a Northland family placed in CYF custody in 2006, after their parents were arrested on drugs charges. The placement lasted until 2008, when she claimed that she had been sexually abused and they were moved.
The girl killed herself after being sent to her room for fighting with her sister and being told she would not be allowed to stay if her behaviour continued, the coroner's finding added.
It also heavily criticised the social welfare system for a series of failings by social workers after the sexual abuse claim was made.
Coroner Morag McDowell said the new caregiver, who had been looking after her for only three weeks, had not been properly informed of the child's fragile mental state. Not did the girl receive the counselling or psychological support required.
Coroner McDowell outlined a number of "missed opportunities" to manage the girl's fragile mental state, and expressed particular concern over the care plan given to her new caregiver, which was out of date and lacked detail about her individual needs and personal history.
"Ensuring that those people taking over the parental duties of a child have all the necessary information needed to provide adequate support tailored to that particular child is fundamental," Coroner McDowell said.
CYF fully accepted the coroner's findings. The social worker who had produced the sub-standard care plan left the agency soon afterwards, while another social worker involved in the case had received extra training.
"Put simply, we failed (the child)," deputy chief social worker Nova Salomen said, adding that "big changes" had been made in the way it worked with abused children in a bid to prevent such a failure in the future.
It had strengthened its care plans to improve key information provided to caregivers, and implemented a specific assessment tool for social workers working with children over the age of 12. Changes had also been made to information systems for social workers to highlight suicide risk and critical risk checks.
Gateway assessments were now being used to assess the wider needs of all children in care, and the scoring on those tests had been automated to remove the risk of human error.
CYF apologised to the child's family for its failures, Ms Salomen added.
"We agree with the coroner that this case is a reminder for social workers to focus on the needs of children rather than being process-focused," she said.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
College Internship Program2070 Allston Way, Suite 101 Berkeley , California USA
College Internship Program CIP False promises at Princeton costs with invalid reprecussions on staff who voice their concerns Berkeley California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Let me begin by saying that the only reason that I am still working for this company is because I care about the well-being and betterment of the students, who are, unfortunately, being taken advantage of by the Program Director and his "teammates". I say "teammate" because unfortunately there are two teams in this company: team A, which includes the Program Director, the Therapists and the Advisors, and team B, which includes everyone else. Everyone else breaks down into the Residential...sorry, Life Skils staff (they had to change the name to cover their tracks since they weren't providing residential skills by definition), the Career Coordinator with his Career coaches, the Tutoring crew, the Fitness & Wellness group, and last but not least, the Social Thinking Skills members, which includes myself. "Everyone else" is in the trenches doing all the dirty work and taking all the blame, while any good that everyone else achieves, team A takes all the praise for.
Now, the program charges anywhere upwards of 80K a year per student, and that does not include housing, food, transportation, or anything that a normal post-secondary program would include in their fees. Even UC Berkeley includes transportation and meal plan fees in their tuition. So we're looking at 100K easy, per sudent, per year. With that said, the Berkeley location has been around for almost 7 years, and has changed Program Directors at least once. The role of the Program Director (and the individual who holds this position of course puts their own spin on it, to make the position fit them better) speaks at every CIP experience weekend, which is held roughly every month. During these weekend experiences, potential clients are given the opportunity for a meet and greet. The families get a chance to meet the current students and staff, and ask questions of the program, much like orientation at any post-secondary program. Unfortunately, the promises that the Program Director tells the families in this orientation, is absolutely false, and there are several families and studetns who would agree and have voiced their concerns and disapproval of this comapny on Yelp. Some of the promises CIP makes are that students are completely free to go anywhere they want, whenever, no curfew. They are given the promise that the students are treated like adults. This is not the case. Once students arrive, they come to find out that there is curfew...every single day of the week, weekends included! Not only that, they have their credit cards taken away from them so that they have to ask for permisson (like a child) to spend their money.
Another promise made is that the program is tailored to each individual student's needs. FALSE! Every student, whether they like it or not, is forced to participate in modules that require them to learn skills that they may or may not already know how to do prior to arriving at CIP, i.e. clean, cook, go grocery shopping and so forth! If a student only needs assistance in one area, they are charged the full tuition fee, pay the housing costs, and made to take EVERY module and attend EVERY class at CIP (classes like sensory, wellness, nutrition, and such). Not to mention, if the student complains, and tries to advocate for themselves (mind you, self-advocacy is something they try to teach students about here), they are told that they don't know any better. A individual who knows how to do laundry on their own, and asks to not be chaperoned while doing it, is told that they have to continue being shown how to do it for at least year, until the Program Director decides if they can be given the independence to do it on their own or not.
Another promise made is that the students are free to do and go where they like. FALSE! There's a curfew whether it's Monday night or Friday night. In the words of a former student who was sold on the false promises: "The idea of the program is that they can take all your things and rights/privileges (depending on how you define it) and build you up bit by bit. They took away everything that gave me any sort of indepenence, as they do to everyone else. Drove my crazy. Sooner or later, they started giving me my independence back, but it was never enough until I got out of the program."
Another student had this to say about his experience at CIP: "...CIP does not care, it has become a monopoly, a scam to rob poor families of up to $80,000 a year, promising to help students in independent living. They make themselves out to sound like the do all and be all of a program; this is a lie. In my case, I came to CIP really only desiring to learn independent living skills such as cleaning, cooking, and housekeeping. I had come from working for a grocery store for 2 years doing a fantastic job. I went out and got my own job, even though it was hard for me to go through the interviewing process, I didn't need CIP back then. For them to treat me like I was incapable of doing anything after just having finished up working 2 years at a grocery store, was a total insult to my intelligence. CIP became a prison for me. They wouldn't let me leave when I wanted to. It was like they acted like my parents, but not even my parents were as crazy and power driven as they were." This particular student goes on to discuss (on YELP) the insanity he had to deal with while at CIP. It's most certainly worth a good read. It sums up CIP from the students angle all too well.
Now from the point of view of a staff member, that being me. I picked up on all this nonsense not even two months after starting work here. I have been working here since August of last year, 2013. Team A, who works upstairs, consists of individuals who spend no more than 45 minutes with each student, per week. Team B, on the otherhand, works with each student for at least 30 hours a week; however, individuals from Team A feel that they know the student far better, know their specific needs far better, and can advocate for them far better than Team B. Not to mention, if and when individuals on Team B ever stand up and voice their concerns, Team A shuts them down. I, for example, was told to "stay in my place" when I voiced a concern about a student threatening to physically harm another Team B staff member, as well as another student. Instead of having "empathy" for me and the other staff member, the Therapists on Team A felt that the student needed empathy. ("Empathy" is a big word that the Therapists like to throw around here. "Victim" is another, neither of which are ever applied to staff, or at least staff who are part of Team B, down in the trenches.) In fact, when I voiced my concerns about how to deal with this situation and the student, I was punished! The student was allowed to chose another Social Mentor, instead of working through his issues. My hours were taken away. I was made to feel like I was the one who did something wrong, when in fact I had nothing BUT empathy for this student. I put on my "empathy" hat and tried to understand where the student was coming from and what we could do at CIP to better help him express his feelings and how to avoid this situation in the future. However, because CIP is so money hungry, when they saw this opportunity for the student to leave the program if he couldn't get his way (and get away with his behavior), they decided to give him whatever he wanted to keep that money flowing straight into their pockets, while simultaneouly taking it away from mine!
It is also necessary to mention that the Therapist on Team A, is not an actual, licensed, Ph.D. She also has a biased point of view because she has twin boys with Aspergers. So to her, all the students in the program, are like her children. She treats them like they are her very own children. She thinks anything that Team B says is a peronsal attack against her and her "children", when in reality it's a means to help these students, and better tailor the program to each individual student's needs. Unfortunately, the Program Director is held under all the Therapists thumbs and bends to their every desire; whatever the Therapists say, goes. In addition, the Program director is constantly hiding from serious situations. He never wants to deal with them, and brushes them off, or hands them off to someone else beneath him. However, when I took my issue to the HR specialist AFTER he refused to talk to me and AFTER telling me, through someone else, to "stay in my place", suddenly he gets upset and asks why I couldn't come to him and try to solve the issue of Team A taking a personal attack against me and reducing my hours, unabashedly. On several different occasions, I have attempted to go to him regarding different concerns, and each time he passed me off to another staff member (in Team B) to deal with me; yet I still tried to address this issue with him, to no avail. Instead, he chose to ignore me, so of course I reached my limit and decided to contact HR. Now he's attempting to take yet another personal attack against me for going over his head to make a formal complaint against him. Forget making a complaint against him and his attempts to seduce me! He seems to think that my concerns are personal, when in fact, he himself, is taking my concerns about how the program is run, personally!
I pray and hope that someone can help expose this company for what they are and free these students from this hell. CIP expects to show these students how to interact with one another and how to be professionals in the real world, yet they can't get along and respect each other themselves! It's pure absurdity!

Independent movie to start shooting locally
Filmmaking became a passion for Sylva resident Jesse Romine at the early age of 12, and it soon became a creative outlet for him when life took a dark turn in high school.
"Lots of people I knew got hooked on hard drugs," Romine said. "There was a lot of resentment, you know, because a lot of my friends kind of drifted away from me because I didn't want to get involved in that situation."
Instead of giving in to peer pressure or giving up on his friends, Romine chose to focus himself on something constructive, and that's when he got the idea for a film he named "Darkridge."
"'Darkridge' became a way for me to stay focused and do what mattered to me," he said.
Now 27, Romine is finally getting the chance to make that film.
In association with StellarMedia, Romine, the writer, producer, editor and director, is getting together the talent and funds to create "Darkridge," which he plans to start filming in early 2013.
The plot centers on LD, a modern-day moonshiner, who takes justice into his own hands when he discovers a drug ring has moved into town. The ring is taking a devastating toll on the town, leading to corruption and lies even within the sheriff's department. LD goes under cover to bring an end to the drug ring's run of crime, but things get even more complicated as dark secrets are revealed.
Playing LD is Milton Higgins of Burnsville. Higgins grew up next to a playhouse and has been in acting his whole life. This will be his first feature film. Ricky Whitley, of Pensacola, Florida, will play LD's best friend, and he will contribute to the movie's soundtrack as well.
Cullowhee native Nick Searcy will play the sheriff in the film. Searcy is known for his roles in "Money Ball," "Cast Away" and "Justified." Sean Bridgers will play the sheriff's son. Originally from Sylva, Bridgers has appeared in "Nell," HBO's "Deadwood," "True Blood" and "Rectified."
Frank Sivero is playing the FBI agent in the film, and he has appeared in "The Godfather" and "Goodfellas."
Tim Abell is playing Griggs, the villain of the movie. He has appeared on "We Were Soldiers," "NCIS," "CSI: NY," and "CSI: Miami."
Others working on "Darkridge" include Bear Allison, cinematographer and co-producer; Chris McCoy, co-producer and Robert Blair, film composer. In addition, Western Carolina University is allowing the crew to mix and record the music for the film, and the Grammy-winning group The Carolina Chocolate Drops have agreed to allow the use of one of their songs in "Darkridge."
In his career, Romine has been creating commercials, wedding videos and industrial videos, and "Darkridge" will be his first true attempt at an independent film.
"I thought, 'You know what, I started out making movies and that's what I want to do for the rest of my career,'" he said. "I feel like the time is now. There are a lot more people and a greater network of resources to actually do the project the way I had envisioned."
As to how he got some of the more well-known actors to sign up for the film, Romine said he used social networking sites, such as Facebook, to get in touch with many of them. Since most of the actors are from North Carolina, they were interested in joining the project, which Romine plans to film in Jackson, Haywood and Swain counties.
"We've got a lot going on," he said, adding shooting on the film's trailer will start this week.
A Kickstarter fundraising campaign is set to begin on Dec. 6. Donations will go toward film production and online donations can be made by searching for "Darkridge" at kickstarter.com. To view Romine's Kickstarter profile, visit http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/44516499.
Romine said he plans to have "Darkridge" completed in time for ActionFest in Asheville in April 2013, and he has hopes of taking it to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
"We're hoping to get it picked up and get it out there," he said.
After the film premieres, Romine wants to go on tour to film schools throughout the country, showcasing the movie and having question and answer sessions with film students.
"This is a way to give back and show people that are interested in film what it took to make it happen," he said. "That means so much to me since every dream has a beginning, and if I were to inspire just one person, then part of my mission in life is complete."

Thanks Nick--I will definitely check these sources out. The more I think
about it, the more the simulation route sounds like the better option, since
I am trying to estimate the probability of responses to a finite set of
items in which each item can only be selected once per respondent (somewhat
analogous to random selection without replacement).
Thanks again

He came to the rock-covered beach and began waving one hand as
though it had a handkerchief in it. His bodyguards tried to conceal their
embarrassment by scanning the beach for aggressors, though everyone had
already decided this man was not worth their attention. I was far enough out
that he had to yell, something he did not seem accustomed to. "Mr. Tarn… Mr.
Tarn, may I interrupt your maritime quest for a word?"
I pointed to the water and yelled back, "My lines already out. Your shoes
are getting wet."
He looked down, became alarmed, and tiptoed back away from the
foam. "Really Mr. Tarn, despite the importance of your immediate investment,
I think it would be wise for you to join me."
"Who are you?"
He looked down in dismay, gathered himself and began again. "My name
is Bernard Porre, senior advisor to the Global Space Initiative."
I cursed under my breath. His title commanded more respect than his
appearance. "You'd better get out of the sun. I'll be right there."
He stared for a moment, waved in disdain, and headed back toward the
parking area.
Begrudgingly I made my way to their shuttle, tapped on the hatch and
stood back. It hissed upward allowing cold air to push by. Bernard sat at a
small desk behind the pilot. He motioned me in and pointed at a seat as the
door gushed closed.
"Bernard, right up front, if you're here to sell me on something, you're
setting yourself up for disappointment."
He was not deterred. He picked up a folder, opened it and patted the top
page. "I am going to propose a mission to you, Mr. Tarn. You are going to
accept, and then I will leave, hopefully forever."
"Well, you're right about one thing."
"You haven't been in trouble recently, have you? No new injuries or
illnesses? Anything that would affect your flight status?"
"For god's sake, Bernard. What is this about?"
"Have you heard of the Griffin, Mr. Tarn?"
"It sounds vaguely familiar."
"It is a prototype, designed by a retired transport pilot. It is unique in
that it's a spacecraft that can deploy wings and perform atmospheric flight, if
necessary. The designer disliked the idea that a re-entering spacecraft that
lost thrust and gravity repulsion became rocklike. Because of his reputation,
he was able to pull in a few investors, and the prototype was constructed. It's
the only one of its kind. Spacecraft systems became so fail-proof by the time it
was completed the concept was deemed unnecessary.
"Fail-proof is an oxymoron, I think."

Mayor Bach defends giving $25,000 bonuses
Chief of staff, city attorney receive one-time bonuses last year
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach explained on Wednesday why two high-ranking city employees deserved a bonus of $25,000.
Bach said Chris Melcher, the city attorney, and Laura Neumann, the chief of staff, received the one-time bonuses last year. Both employees already earn six-figure salaries -- $187,529 for Melcher and $165,000 for Neumann.
Bach cited Melcher's role in the sale of then city-owned Memorial Hospital, and Neumann's plan to help city departments work more efficiently with tight finances, as accomplishments deserving of the bonuses.
"We're talking about arguably the two most important executives in city government -- more important than I am, frankly," said Bach. "To say that the bonus is a problem, I hope folks don't feel that way. We're living within our budget."
Bach said another factor in his decision to award the bonuses, is a recent compensation study independently conducted for the city. He said the study found that many city positions, including chief of staff and city attorney, pay less than the average among cities of similar size.
"I've had some criticism for some (high-ranking employees) who have left," said Bach. "But I think (most) people trust me to do the right thing. That's the point of the strong-mayor form of government."
Bach said the city, armed with results of the compensation study, will focus on providing long-overdue pay raises for firefighters, police officers and some civilian employees.

So much good news currently abounds on our sporting front.
I can only assume that's why our muddled Black Caps captain desperately wanted to share in some of the feel-good vibes when he was desperate to point out that there were positives to be taken from the latest Black Caps debacle.
Losing 8 out of 9 games on tour amounts to a full-on disaster and having Ross Taylor telling us that Martin Guptill's batting was ok or it was an invaluable experience for the young members is simply patronising nonsense.
In fact, Ross Taylor's namby-pamby style is really starting to get to me and leads me to the five most critical home truths this excuse for our national cricket team needs to confront.
1. Ross Taylor has had his time in charge and along with John Wright, needs to take the exit door.
His captaincy ambles along and appears hesitant and waiting for something to happen.
He mumbles in interviews in half-truths clutching at irrelevant, itsy-bitsy, weak excuses.
He is a cardboard cut-out of a leader of men.
So who should be captain you ask?
The best of the three to four young enthusiasts in the team with captaincy experience who will grow into the role and show twice the enthusiasm Taylor does.
And that probably precludes Brendon McCullum who appears to have made IPL and the cash-grabbing that goes with it his overwhelming priority.
2. Dan Vettori is a relic who has become bigger than the game here in New Zealand.
Dan drops in and out of whatever form of the game tickles his fancy and his wallet at the time.
The only predictable fact today about this once notable all-rounder is his total inability to take test wickets when it counts.
The last time he spun the Black Caps to victory feels like it was around the time when six o'clock closing was extended.
3. Dan Vettori's apparent, honorary, life-long membership of the actual playing XI doesn't just stop there.
Such is his mana and the friendships he's formed, he has the power to drag along with him tired old has-beens like Jake the Fake Oram and partial has-beens like Kyle Mills and Chris Martin.
It's way past time that Vettori who's a distant memory of his former glory, Oram who's a professional crock, Mills who's lost all of his impact and Martin whose fading, whirly-gig, strike bowling ability warrants his inclusion less and less when he bats and fields like an eleven-year old.
4. It's time to put an end to the tail wagging the dog, however thin our talent-base is at any one time.
Brendon McCullum is so close to a free agent, his contract appears worthless. He turned up in the Caribbean when it suited him.
The IPL and the swags of riches are his masters, not his country.
Again, I say good on him but let's not fool ourselves that such a blatant lack of accountability is going to ever breed depth and consistency in the best interests of the game in this country.
Cut him loose and give him the time to weigh up whether his bank balance or that cap with the silver fern on it means more.
5. And finally, it must never,ever happen again where a redundant coach who had handed in his badge and had lost all interest in the job before the tour started be put in charge for an upcoming tour.
The Black Caps are a festering boil on an otherwise pretty rosy sporting landscape in New Zealand right now.
We can only hope that the new coach, Mike Hesson sees the need to confront the issues above with haste.
Your thoughts please.

Start the conversation
One of the best things about my job here at Money Map Press is the expertise that I have access to – and that I can bring to you.
Let me tell you a story that demonstrates what I mean.
Not surprisingly, I spend a big chunk of my day reading reports, checking out the financial Websites and perusing hundreds of headlines. Friday morning, I came across one headline that literally jumped up and bit me.
It said that "The Yen is Doomed."
It grabbed my attention as it did because I'd heard this before.
Here's the thing, though. The "Doomed Yen" headline that ran Friday was a reaction to the dramatic erosion in value the Japanese currency has suffered in recent months.
But the earlier statement was actually a prediction – made well before the currency began its slide. And it was accompanied by a specific investment recommendation.
Any of you who listened are up 35% – with more to come.
Back on Feb. 3, Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald told me that Japan would remain an "investment trap" for years to come. Keith's comment was a response to a growing number of predictions from experts who were saying that Japan's long-suffering economy was about to turn the corner.
That's balderdash, Keith said at the time.
"BP, we are more likely to see Godzilla walk out of Tokyo Bay than we are to witness a return to Japan's halcyon days" of the late "80s and early "90s, Keith told me during one of late-day discussions.
My gut told me he was right.
I don't spend part of each year living in Japan like Keith does. But I was working as a business journalist during those "halcyon days," when Japan's surge was one of the world's biggest news stories.
You probably remember the negative – even fearful – sentiment that reverberated across this country as Japanese investors snapped up such gaudy trophies as the Rockefeller Center, the Pebble Beach golf course, and
Columbia Pictures. America was done, would never again be competitive, and that Japan was destined to rule the world.
That's right about the time that Japan's asset bubble burst. Its stock and real-estate markets collapsed. And we saw the first of what would turn into a seemingly endless string of "expert" predictions … each of them saying that a rebound in Japan was imminent … and all of them dead wrong.
As part of its asset-price spiral, Japan's Nikkei 225 had risen from its 1984 lows of 9,700 to its all-time trading high of 38,957.44, a pinnacle reached on Dec. 29, 1989. Here we are … 23 years later … and the Nikkei is still 72% below that peak. And the Japanese economy never seems to be able to shift out of low gear.
During that talk with Keith in February, I asked him the best way to profit from his fervent belief that the malaise could only continue.
His recommendation: Short the yen.
"Japan's currency has risen to a 25-year high on nothing more than worries about Europe going bad and U.S. debt," he told me at the time. "It's a classic "safe-haven' rush that's driving the yen. Ask yourself: What will happen to the yen when the Europe situation finally plays out and the U.S. digs itself out of its hole? The yen will get dropped like a hot pan getting pulled from the oven."
To pursue this strategy, Keith recommended that investors buy the ProShares UltraShort Yen ETF (NYSE: YCS).
On Thursday, CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (NYSE: FXY) fell 1.6% in afternoon trading and established yet another 52-week low – this time because the Bank of Japan (BOJ) was said to be considering a strategy of open-ended asset purchases to resuscitate that country's economy.
It appears as if the BOJ will consider abandoning its 0.1% floor on short-term interest rates – and will instead pledge to buy assets until a 2% inflation rate becomes a realistic target. Some pundits said it could take "an obscene amount" of stimulus to reach this goal. The decision could come this week.
But here's what the news reports aren't saying, because they didn't have access to the private briefing with Keith that you all had access to back in February 2012: If the FXY, the main yen currency ETF, has been plunging in value, then it follows that the "yen-shorting" ETF that Keith recommended had to be doing just the opposite – and soaring.
And that's just what's happened. The FXY has been under extreme pressure, and is off about 13% in the past three months – taking to its lowest level since mid-2010.
But the yen-shorting ETF, the YCS, has been zooming. It was trading at $40.47 when Keith made his call early last February. It closed on Friday at $54.56 – for a 35% gain so far.
That's the advantage that I have here: Each of our experts brings to the table an area of specialization … an expertise … that retail investors generally can't access. That kind of insight is usually reserved for the clients of the "private banking" or "private client" units of the major wealth-management firms. Some of those places require you to have a liquid net worth of $50 million to $100 million to walk in the door.
But if you ask most of our experts, they'll tell you that they grew tired of that world. They wanted to do and build something new and different … which is just what we've done here at Money Map Press and Private Briefing.
Keith, Shah Gilani and I often joke about the "Great Equalizer" we've created here.
In fact, I think what we offer here is often better than some of those private banking units.
After all, how many of those folks really told their clients a year ago that it was time to short the yen.
But we did. You were the big winner for us having done so. And, quite frankly, that capped my week in pretty fine fashion.

What we do (and don't do) with Email Addresses
We use email addresses internally, to keep track of contacts for races, clubs, photos, and other submitted items. We also gather email addresses that are publicly displayed on running related websites.
Here's is what we do, and don't do with Email Addresses in our database:
We honor every request to stop sending you emails.
If you are the contact of a race, or club, we will send you periodic emails requesting updated race/club info, or letting you know we updated your race/club info. Unless you've asked us not to.
We occasionally send an introductory email to an email address found on running related sites, inviting you to visit our website. This is sent by an actual human (usually Mary) who truly pressed a 'Send' button, not an automated services that sends bazillions of emails at a time. And we will only send this email once to any given email address.
Never sell, give, lend, email addresses we collect.
Even if someone asks really nice, or offers us lots of money.
We will tell you where and when we found your email, upon request.
We hope to one day have an opt-in newsletter, but I think we have had that wish for a few years now. Please don't hold your breath on this.
Runner's Names in Race Results
We do not have control over what names are published in race results. However, we can help you contact the person who does. If your name is listed in races results, and you would like your name removed, we'll help you find the right person who can do that.
For future reference: It is common practice for race results to be listed on the internet. If you do not wish to be listed, most races will allow you to use an alias. Please NEVER run as a bandit to avoid being listed. Most race directors will remove you from the results at your request.
Registered Users
Your passwords are encrypted in the database. Other information is not. We have reasonable measures to prevent accidental and intentional tampering/viewing of your information that you've entered in Run-Time (formerly User Options).
Directory Listings
We scour the internet everyday looking for race results, races, and clubs to add to our directory. If your race results, race, or club should not be listed here for any reason, please let us know, and we will remove it.
For races and clubs, you can do this with an Update. Find the race or club using the
Race Menu
Club Menu
then click the
icon. There is an option under 'Special Instructions' to have the race/club removed.
For results or photos, send us an

Bubble Wrap Maker Sealed Air Rises as Earnings Top EstimatesSonja Elmquist
Sealed Air Corp., the maker of Bubble Wrap, rose the most in more than five months after quarterly earnings and sales beat analysts' estimates as the company shipped a larger volume of products.
Sealed Air gained 9 percent to $21.15 at the close in New York, the biggest increase since Aug. 29 and the second-largest gain today on the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
Fourth-quarter net profit excluding debt redemption costs and other one-time items was 34 cents a share, the Elmwood Park, New Jersey-based company said today in a statement. The average of 11 estimates compiled by Bloomberg was 29 cents. Sales rose 0.8 percent to $1.98 billion, surpassing the $1.94 billion average of nine estimates. Sealed air said its volumes climbed 2.6 percent.
"We are encouraged volumes were positive across all its segments and margins improved," Philip Ng, an analyst at Jefferies & Co. Inc. in New York who recommends buying the stock, said in a note today.
Bubble Wrap is a transparent plastic film with air pockets sealed between two layers, used to cushion fragile items in shipping.

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier isn't just softer to the touch than many of the terriers; he's a little softer in personality, too. Think of him as a terrier with the roughest edges gone. He's a little quieter than other terriers, a little less scrappy, slightly less driven to dig -- but still as likely to consider small wildlife and neighborhood cats well worth chasing. In other words, he may be a little bit softer in comparison to other terriers, but he's no wimp. Somewhere in his DNA must also be the code for springs in his feet, because the Wheaten loves to bounce and jump – over low fences and on people, too.
Many people fall in love with the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier for the wrong reasons: Wheaten puppies are adorable, with long, silky coats in a warm shade of light brown (hence: Wheaten). But these sweet-looking puppies can become stubborn dogs who are too much to handle for owners unwilling or unable to provide their pets with the proper guidance, training and socialization, and who aren't prepared to deal with a coat that is a huge chore to keep free of mats and tangles. Although the Wheaten is known for being less feisty than many of this terrier cousins, he's still not necessarily the greatest dog with young children.
Still, if you're a terrier fan and daily coat care at home and regular trips to the groomer don't deter you, the fact that the Wheaten tends towards the less-destructive and quieter end of the terrier spectrum might make all the difference in your decision. Just don't forget you'll need to give him fair, consistent training or you're likely to end up with a badly-behaved dog whose favorite hobbies are escaping from the backyard and jumping on everyone who comes into the house.
Don't think for a minute your Wheaten is going to live in your backyard. These are very people-oriented dogs, and not only will a Wheaten be unhappy exiled from his family, he'll let the world know by barking loudly while he excavates your lawn. Since a tired dog is a good dog, redirect that terrier enthusiasm into dog sports like agility or obedience or be sure to offer long walks a couple times a day. But keep him on a leash: The Wheaten's desire to chase anything can get him into a lot of trouble.
Breed-specific health problems include protein-losing nephropathy (PLN) and protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), as well as Addison's Disease, a disorder of the adrenal glands. There are no specific genetic screening tests for these conditions, nor for a kidney disease known as renal dysplasia which affects Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers. However, there are several tests available to help Wheaten owners diagnose and monitor these conditions when they occur, and your puppy's breeder should be willing – eager, in fact – to go over the health histories of his parents and their close relatives and discuss how prevalent those particular health concerns are in his lines.
Pet insurance for Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers costs more than for mixed breed dogs. This is because Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers are much more likely than mixed breed dogs to make claims for hereditary conditions that are expensive to treat.
* Embrace pet insurance plans offer full coverage for all breed-specific conditions (excluding those that are pre-existing) to which Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers are susceptible. The best time to get pet insurance for your Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is when he's a healthy puppy. You can't predict what will happen in the future, and pet insurance is the one thing you can't get when you need it the most.
