Automobile Accidents
SKW's lawyers have successfully represented thousands of clients who were injured in car accidents. Throughout the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett, Central Washington, and Eastern Washington regions, our clients have been awarded significant verdicts/settlements.*
America's love of the automobile comes with a human price tag. Those in WA State are no different.
Our award winning attorneys have represented thousands of people seriously injured or killed in car crashes.
The tragedy of dealing with the aftermath of a crash does not end with the physical and emotional harm suffered. The red tape of dealing with insurance companies and the person who caused the wreck, can be overwhelming. One story we hear all the time is that the other person "admits fault." But once their insurance company gets involved, they change their story.
Experienced car accident lawyers know how to watch for hidden traps that can jeopardize the case. An example arises when there are more than two people who cause a crash. One might admit fault and try to settle the claim. But if settlement is accepted, then that destroys "joint and several liability". This can have huge financial consequences.
Another trap involves figuring out which insurance policies apply and what limits are related. In the Ethel Adams case, Farmers Insurance Company initially refused to pay benefits when Ms. Adams was almost killed in a road rage accident. They said it wasn't an "accident." We filed suit and the public outrage was so great that the insurance company changed its mind. Our firm lobbied for a new law dubbed "The Ethel Adams law" that now prevents insurance companies from denying innocent victims uninsured motorist benefits.
Police departments may have major automobile incident teams (MAIT). These investigations occur at all fatality and most catastrophic injury scenes. Interpreting this data, or determining whether it is accurate requires sophisticated and expert analysis. We have substantial resources that help us determine exactly what happened to cause a crash and why. The causes can range from driver negligence, to driving under the influence or while impaired, to automobile defect or highway defect. We consult with accident reconstructionists and safety engineers to make sure all the causes are properly identified.
At the same time, we assist our clients with navigating the healthcare system. Our law firm is at the forefront of the legal community in understanding and dealing with complex medical subrogation (repayment) issues. Car accident injury victims are often shocked to learn that the government and health insurers will make a claim on any financial recovery. We pay close attention to this issue to protect our clients. We have even sued the government to prevent it from taking too much of our client's recovery.
*Each case is different. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Representative Cases
A Thurston County jury awarded a Vancouver man almost $3 million for multiple injuries caused by a pavement edge drop-off on a highway on-ramp.
Todd Moothart, a 50-year-old software development engineer, was on a motorcycle ride with two friends on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in September 2013. Their plan was to head east on State Route 14 to a viewpoint overlooking the Klickitat River. When Moothart and another rider got separated from the third motorcyclist by a traffic light, Moothart decided to pull off onto the shoulder of an on-ramp for SR 14 to stop and wait for the third motorcyclist to catch up. It is safer for motorcyclists to ride together as a group because they have a more visible presence on the road.
When Moothart pulled off onto the shoulder, he encountered a seven inch deep pavement edge drop-off at the fog line. A seven inch deep piece of pavement jutted out from the edge of the pavement just beyond the drop-off. When Moothart's Harley Davidson motorcycle hit the face of the broken pavement, his front and rear wheels were severely dented, and he was launched into the air like he was on a trampoline.
Safety standards in the transportation engineering field recommend that pavement edge drop-offs be kept to a depth of no greater than two inches. The Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) striping truck had came upon the pavement edge pothole and had painted the white fog stripe around it. In other words, WSDOT clearly acknowledging the hazard but did not report or repair it.
Moothart and his passenger were both ejected from the motorcycle. Moothart suffered multiple injuries, including a kidney laceration, numerous broken ribs, collapsed lungs, pulmonary contusions, a concussion, broken bones in both forearms, amputation of the top joint of his right index finger, and fractures to bones in his right pelvic ring. He was placed on a mechanical ventilator for eight days and required several surgeries.
Moothart spent 21 days in the hospital, followed by 55 days in a nursing home. He was then cared for by his mother and sister in Iowa for two months before he returned to Vancouver and resumed working part time.
The design plans for the on-ramp called for an eight foot paved shoulder on the right hand side. At the location where Moothart pulled off, there was no paved shoulder at all beyond the fog line. For unknown reasons, the State's as-built plans for the on-ramp showed an eight foot paved shoulder, but the evidence indicated that the on-ramp never had an eight-foot paved shoulder in the area where Moothart pulled off. The on-ramp was built in the mid 90's.
The Honorable Mary Sue Wilson granted judgment as a matter of law on the State's negligence based on the State's failure to provide an eight foot paved shoulder as required by the design plans. The jury also found that the State failed to maintain the on-ramp in a reasonably safe condition for ordinary travel.
Moothart has chronic pain due to myofascial injuries and nerve damage but is able to work full time. He has ongoing disabilities related to the loss of the top joint of his right index finger, myofascial damage in his forearms, and chronic pain. He no longer rides motorcycles because the crash took the enjoyment out of riding for him. He had been a motorcycle enthusiast for over 30 years.
The jury awarded $2,993,000, which included approximately $500,000 in undisputed past medical bills and wage loss. While the jury found negligence on the part of Moothart, it did not find proximate cause with regard to Moothart's negligence.
The jurors' post-trial message to WSDOT was that it needed to develop a clear policy for identifying, reporting and promptly repairing pavement edge drop-offs so that others will not have to suffer serious injuries the way Mr. Moothart did.
On September 24, 2015, a Ride the Duck modified amphibious military vehicle crossed the centerline of the SR 99 Aurora Bridge and into a tour bus. The passenger compartment of the bus was penetrated. 5 people in the bus died and approximately 64 people were injured. Phuong Dihn, an 18 year old international student from Vietnam, was seriously injured.
The Duck was re-manufactured by Ride the Ducks International, who sold the vehicle to Ride the Ducks Seattle in 2005. In 2013, RTD International realized the axel housing was dangerously defective. It issued a service bulletin to it purchasers, warning of the defect and advising of the need for repair. RTD Seattle did not perform the repair. The preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board is that the left axle of the Duck failed.
Phuong is one of the four of the injured students who remain in a nursing home. Her parents came to care for her but had to leave their other young children behind. She is unable to attend school. When she is discharged, she will need to find a new host parent who will be able to provide accessible housing due to her injuries.
Please help Phuong, as she struggles to recover at this secure site. Donations may also be made by mailing checks to our firm (please include "C/O: Dinh, P: Seattle Aurora Bus Crash 10.2015")
You may also help Phuong and the other students injured in the crash by donating to the special fund set up by the Salvation Army.

Irregular galaxy NGC 1313 imaged from Namibia with DSLR Nikon D600 and D5100Read More
Nikon D600
The Nikon D600 is very good for astrophotography. For the price it delivers a very sensitive full frame sensor and of course a nice camera for daytime photography as well. I've been using the Nikon D600 for astrophotography and I must say I am impressed. When taking more scenic pictures or photographing the aurora and/or timelapses I can easily use it at ISO3200 and still get good results. Normally I would use the Nikon D600 at ISO 800 however and it has significantly less noise than the D7000 that I was used to.
You can view my results with the Nikon D600 and read more about the camera for astrophotography in the articles below..

I have also been finding Bygott family trees. My wife's mother was a Bygott. With your wife's father called Thomas Wilson I suspect I know which branch he follows, but would be interested. I would also suggest you contact the other people on the forum site of the Bygotts. I think you will find that they are on the same side of the 'Pond' as yoursleves.

The DPI 620 i.s. Advanced Modular Multifunction Tester is the latest development in digital output sensor technology incorporating a number of key innovations to allow pressure re-ranging of compatible equipment. A simple screw fit makes both the pressure and electrical connections without the need for tools, sealing tape, cables or plugs and digital characterisation allows interchange ability without set-up or calibration. The modules can be changed in a few seconds to re-range an instrument at a fraction of the cost of a new one.
The pressure modules can be used in conjunction with the relevant pneumatic or hydraulic pressure station and the DPI 620 multifunction calibrator to form an integrated pressure calibrator for test and calibration of pressure instruments including transmitters, transducers, switches, gauges, indicators and recorders. Alternatively, the modules can be combined with the pressure station by a module carrier, which adds a dual channel pressure measurement capability that can be re-ranged in seconds.

Join Kevin Skoglund for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a project, part of Ruby on Rails 3 Essential Training.
Now that we have everything installed that we need to run Ruby on Rails, we're ready to create our first project. And the project we're going to create is a simple Content Management System or CMS for short. And we'll be working with this project throughout the training title. We're going to use it early on for some of our demos while we get our feet wet. And then we'll dive in and really turn it into a full fledged application a little later on. For now, let's just see how to create a Rails project. The way we will create a new Rails project is from the command line. You'll want to start by opening up your command line application, that is command prompt on Windows. Or the terminal on a Mac.
Next, let's decide where we want to put our Rails project. Unlike developing with HTML or PHP, where there's a special web folder where we must put all our code, so that the web server can find it and serve it to us. With Rails, we have a lot more flexibility. Because of the way the web brick web server, which comes with Rails, works. We'll be able to access our application, regardless of where we place it on our hard drive. But still does make lot of sense to keep our code grouped with our other web code so it's all in one place. We don't want projects scattered all over the place. So if you have a working web directory already, put it there. If not, and you're on a Mac, Apple gives Mac users a folder called Sites in each user's directory.
If I type pwd, you'll see the path to where I am now, that's inside Users, inside kevin, that's my user folder. And inside there is a folder called Sites with a capital S. So, cd into Sites will navigate into that Sites folder. And then if I type ls -la or just ll if you configured the alias for ll earlier. We'll do the same thing and we'll now see what's inside that folder. Now, if you're in Windows, you can put the project inside your My Documents folder. Either directly or first by creating a sub folder in there called, sites, or www, or web code, and putting it inside there.
Don't put it at the root of the hard drive or inside the Program Files folder because Windows has special security settings for those directories that may get in our way. But anywhere inside My Documents should be fine. And from the command line in Windows, if you want to see the same list that I have here, the command is dir. And that'll show you the contents of that directory. So, this is where I'm going to put my Rails application. And the way that we'll create it is by using the Rails command from the command line. The Rails command will be used for several different tasks. But right now, we're going to be using it just for creating a new Rails application. So, rails new and then the name of our application.
Now I'm going to call mine simple_cms. Now this is a slight change. Previous versions of Rails you didn't type new. You just typed rails and then the name of the application you wanted to create. That caused some confusion so they added this. So it's rails new will create a new project. Now, I called it simple_cms. The name that you choose is important because Rails is going to use that name to configure our applications. To make some guesses about what names we want to use for our databases and other things like that. We can change it later, we'll just need to change those configuration files. To match whatever new configuration we have.
We also need to do something very important here before we hit Return on this line. We want to put a space, and then a -d, and a space, and then MySQL. What we're saying is create a new Rails application, called simple_cms. That is preconfigured to use a MySQL database. If we didn't specify the database, it would default to use SQLite. That's the default. And if we didn't specify MySQL, it wouldn't be a huge deal. Rails has support for both MySQL and SQLite built in, it's already there waiting for us. But we would need to change the information in one file, the database configuration file.
That's where we would configure which one we'd use. But by specifying it here, that configuration file will be pre set up for us to use MySQL. We won't need to remember to go in and make changes. So let's make sure that we always use that as long as we're using a MySQL database. Now we can hit return at the end of that. You'll see they created a bunch of files for us. We'll come back and look at what all those files are later. For now, let's just look at the directory again. That's ls -la, or ll, if you have that alias. Or dir if you're on Windows. And you'll see the folder here created called simple_cms.
That is our Rails application. Let me show it to you in the Finder also. Let me just click here. Open a new Finder window. I'm inside my user folder, kevin, which is inside my hard drive, inside Users, and here's my sites folder. I double-click on that, here it is, simple_cms. Now if I were to throw away this folder, my Rails application would be gone. Everything for the Rails application is self-contained in this one folder. Not Rails itself, we installed that is a gem, and that's installed in our system somewhere else. But the Rails application that we're creating, the thing that's specific to our project is all contained in that one folder.
Back in the command line let's move into that folder. Let's do cd simple_cms. We'll go into the root of my Rails application. And whenever you hear me say the root of the application, I'm talking about being directly inside. The simple_cms directory. Once again, we can type ls -la, or dir, and it'll show you a list of the contents. Or in the Finder, we can see it just by opening up that folder. Let's double-click on that. So there we are. This is the root of my application. And we see all of the files that it created for us. So just like that, we've created our first Rails project.
Now, there's still more configuration involved. And we'll still need to, obviously, create the code that'll tell our app what to do. But a lot of the application folders and code have been created for us already. In the next movie, we'll see how we can access the project and examine the code that Rails put there for us.

Q: When running the AlterUsers migration as described in the "Migration methods" video, I am getting "rake aborted!" with an "Invalid Date: BTREE" error. What could be causing this error?
A: add_index is causing the problem. There appears to be in a bug in either the MySQL2 gem or in the MySQL lib file. Some users have reported that using the libmysql.dll file from MySQL 5.1 (32-bit) will fix the problem. The simplest fix is to comment out that line in the migration. Your code will still work; not having an index on the column will just slow down some database lookups.
Q: When I try to open up the server (WEBrick) by typing "rails server", as shown in the movie "Accessing a project", I receive the following error:
Gem::Specification#default_executable= called from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/specifications/rubygems-update-1.8.3.gemspec:11./Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.3.2/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle: dlopen(/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.3.2/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib (LoadError)

Reason: image not found - /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.3.2/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle
The installation problem on Mac OS X Snow Leopard is likely caused by a bug in the mysql2 gem that appeared when MySQL 5.5 came out. Hopefully newer versions of MySQL or the mysql2 gem will fix them problem. Until then, a detailed solution to the problem can be found at http://freddyandersen.wordpress.com/2010/10/03/mysql-5-5-snow-leopard-and-rails.
Q: While performing the steps outlined in the "Migration methods" video, I'm receiving an error. The rake db:migrate works fine, but rake db:migrate VERSION=0 results in the following error:
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, all later migrations canceled:
Index name 'index_admin_users_on_username' on table 'admin_users' does not exist.
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, all later migrations canceled:
Index name 'index_admin_users_on_username' on table 'admin_users' does not exist.
Q: I'm OS X 10.6.7 and there's a problem with RubyGems 1.8.1 and the database won't start. Should I somehow delete RubyGems and use and earlier version? How doing I get out of this pickle and start again to complete the course? The error message in Terminal reads:
NOTE: Gem::Specification#default_executable= is deprecated with no replacement. It will be removed on or after 2011-10-01.
Gem::Specification#default_executable= called from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/specifications/rubygems-update-1.8.1.gemspec:11.
user$ pwd
user$ rails server
NOTE: Gem::Specification#default_executable= is deprecated with no replacement. It will be removed on or after 2011-10-01.
Gem::Specification#default_executable= called from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/specifications/rubygems-update-1.8.1.gemspec:11.
NOTE: Gem::Specification#default_executable= is deprecated with no replacement. It will be removed on or after 2011-10-01.
Gem::Specification#default_executable= called from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/specifications/rubygems-update-1.8.1.gemspec:11.
NOTE: Gem::Specification#default_executable= is deprecated with no replacement. It will be removed on or after 2011-10-01.
A: The first section, with "default_executable= is deprecated", is just a bunch of annoying warning messages. A lot of people in the Rails community are annoyed about it.
First try: gem pristine --all --no-extensions
If that doesn't fix it, then you can go back to the less-noisy version of RubyGems until all those other gems get updated to remove the code causing the warnings, using: sudo gem update --system 1.7.2
The second part is the actual error:
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mysql_get_client_info
This is usually because you installed the wrong version of MySQL (32-bit vs. 64-bit).
Q: I'm trying to create a new subject, as shown in the Chapter 7 movie "Creating new records." I encounter a problem when I input:
this subject = Subject.new9:name => "Forth Subject", :visible => true)
I get the error message ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error: Can't mass-assign
protected attributes. What is the issue here?
A: Starting with Rails 3.2.3, released just this week, mass assignment security is turned on by default. (See http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2012/3/30/ann-rails-3-2-3-has-been-released/ and http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html#mass-assignment for more information.)
You can deal with this change in one of two ways:
1. Turn off the security setting. Open config/application.rb and change config.active_record.whitelist_attributes to false instead of true. This makes your app a little less secure, but allows you to quickly move forward with the tutorial.
2. Work with the security settings. The proper technique is to go into each model (like Subject) and add attr_accessible for each field that a web form should be able to mass assign a value to. For example:
class Subject < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :visible
Q: When trying to create or connect to a database, I'm getting a "cannot login to localhost" error message. What's the solution?
A: As mentioned in the Chapter 4 "Accessing a project" video, localhost is an alias for the 127.0.0.1 ip address. If you have any problems connecting to localhost, default to using the IP address instead. Assign the host value in the database.yml file to the ip 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.
Q: This course was updated on 8/12/2013. What changed?
A: We updated 12 movies to reflect changes to Ruby on Rails, as of version 3.2, and to accommodate the release of version 4.0. This includes updates to the Macintosh installation process, how you access a new project, loading stylesheets, and making model attributes accessible for mass assignment.

About Us
Hackaday has been writing about fresh hacks every day since our inception back in 2004. We've become the gold standard in entertainment for engineers and engineering enthusiasts, millions of whom visit and converse on the site each month. Now we're getting serious about the hardware, tools, and swag that we love. Everything you find here was chosen because it brings us joy, helps with our hacking adventures, and will be appreciated by all who want to explore projects where "why" is always the wrong question.
As always, if you pull off something awesome with the equipment found here, make sure you document it (we recommend Hackaday.io for this) and don't forget to tell us about it!
About The Hackaday Store
The Hackaday Store offers up hardware and tools that we love, with the goal of featuring items that share our principles of Open Hardware and Open Source Software. It is also a source of oft-sought-after Hackaday Swag.
We love reading about small-run hardware. Sure, we have the skills to build a well-documented project ourselves, but sometimes your list of projects is just too long. We strive to provide a place for some of these items to get to those lusting after them. You can help by finding cool stuff and submitting it the store via our contact form. We can't stock everything, but reaching out to us is definitely worth a shot!
The Hackaday Store Manifesto
We've had enough people asking for shirts over the years that it makes sense to have some place to find things adorned with the Jolly Wrencher. But since we have the purchasing and shipping framework already in place why not offer other options as well? We're not trying to be just another "component" shop. We want to showcase Open Design hardware that is worth owning. That tenet got us thinking about how Hackaday fits into it all.
One way is to find projects that maybe aren't going to sell 1000 units. Why not offer products that may never sell more than 5? From a sales standpoint it seems silly to take the time to vet, photograph, and showcase something that can only be purchased by a handful of people, but look at the bigger picture. There are a lot of hackers out there designing cool things but they don't want to fall into the trap of a successful Kickstarter. They simply don't want to quit their job and go "work for their Kickstarter". Or worse yet, keep their job and spend every waking moment trying to deliver on promises to their backers. If the idea is awesome, and the design is open, Hackaday is a great place to celebrate small run hardware.
It is also important to have hacking tools. Everyone needs to start from somewhere. No matter your background you don't just jump into hardware and become a wizard without help. The tools on the store give an idea of what you might find in a hardware hacker's toolkit. If you want to become more deeply immersed in the Hackaday culture it helps to have this toolset to look through and some projects or kits that are meant to take you beyond "now solder the resistor onto the PCB".
In both of these cases (short run hardware and hacking tools), picking the right products is difficult. We don't want to be the only gatekeepers of the store. We will work with the Hackaday Community as a whole in identifying Open Design hardware and tools that the world should know about.
Finally, the articles on Hackaday will not be shilling for the Hackaday store. We cherish our Editorial Independence. We publish articles that the writers and editors agree are of interest to the Hackaday community. We do not post paid content and we do not trade free hardware for positive write ups. You can expect this to continue as we will not allow coverage to be influenced by what hardware is for sale in our store, or anyone else's. This isn't just a service to the readers, it's the freedom for writers to discuss any topic that they find worth talking about. That has value, and it's the core of what has made Hackaday a source of unending entertainment for us for almost 10 years now.
Now go buy yourself some Hackaday socks.
(just kidding... we don't sell socks)

Recently completed full tooled saddle. Almost exclusively done with the Power Mallet.
2017-06-09 - See Post
Here is the latest full tooled saddle being worked on done with the Power Mallet.
2017-03-28 - See Post
Here is a helpful tip when working on small leather items with the Power Mallet. The problem is keeping it from moving around. You can get yourself a piece of marble tile, 3/8" in thickness from your local big box store. Apply painters tape, that you make into loops, to the bottom of the leather piece you are working on and then stick it onto the tile. Now you can turn the piece of tile instead of the leather. Everything stays in place, but don't use this tile for anything like basket stamping because it will break it.
2017-03-26 - See Post
Our Mission Statement: To assist in the endeavor to learn the art of leather carving. The art of leather carving can be tedious and often painful experience. With that in mind the Power mallet was created to alleviate the aches and pains; such as hand cramping and shoulder pain. In most cases it takes years to control the swivel knife and the hand mallet enough to produce good results. Cutting with the swivel knife by hand requires strength that for some people it takes too long to develop. It also requires skill and coordination to use the hand mallet effectively. This too takes time. The Power Mallet has eliminated most of the aches and pains associated with carving leather. It does all the tedious work, so that you can enjoy drawing your flowers and scrolls deeply into the leather. The learning curve is greatly reduced, so you can now spend you limited time producing amazing projects instead of painfully striving to eliminate tool marks and to strike a tool accurately. The knife lets the tool do the cutting and you follow your pre drawn pattern. You use your own tooling tools in the Power Mallet. Your tooling will be easier and done more effectively than you could ever do in the traditional way; in a fraction of the time without discomfort. If you are trying to earn money or make a living tooling leather; it is a hard task to accomplish, if you are doing it the traditional way. With the Power Mallet, it has made the task much more fun and some of our customers have reported as much as 90 percent faster on some applications. This makes it much more feasible to make money at your leather carving. It also preserves your body so that you can continue your leather carving for years to come without the physical wear and tear that is normally associated with the art.

Learning about XML
WBF XML Schemas
S95 and XML
S95 uses XML to describe and transport data (by moving XML files) between systems.
What is XML?
XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language. Its purpose is to describe data and focus on what the data is.
XML is not a language itself, but rather it's a meta-langauge. It's used to define other markup languages. Not only does XML hold your data, but it can also hold the definition of the data. This occurs by using XML to create specific tags for your new markup language.
There are many tutorials available to learn more about XML, so we're not going to reinvent the proverbial wheel. Instead, use some of the Learning About XML links on the right.
S95 and XML
The uptake of XML has been incredible and its applicability to S95 is clear. The definitive set of XML schemas for S95 is B2MML (Business to Manufacturing Markup Language). B2MML implements the data models defined by S95. The schemas were developed by the XML Working Group of the World Batch Forum (under the keen leadership of Dave Emerson; nice work, Dave!).
The World Batch Forum also has a second set of XML schemas that implement the models in S88, BatchML (Batch Markup Language). This is great work by Dave Emerson and Dennis Brandl.
Control Engineering has a good XML article and how S95 leverages it. See the article XML Delivers on our magazine articles page.

The Road to College Admissions: What I Learned After Being Deferred From My Dream School
Allow me to get the bad news out of the way first: I got deferred from my Early Decision school. I had applied to a very competitive school, so this wasn't necessarily a surprise — it had actually been the most probable outcome. But I won't say it wasn't disappointing.

Why High School Class Rank Can Hurt Even Our Best Students
Do you ever wonder whether high school class rank helps or hurts your child's chances of college admission? Well, if your child holds one of the top spots in their class, class rank can work in their favor. But if your child doesn't hold one of the top spots, but still has a very high […]

Who We Are
The Saint Sebastian Sports Project, Inc. (SSSP) is a non-profit organization whose primary mission is to provide increased opportunity for Catholic school students in economically challenged areas to participate in organized sports programs at their schools. Simply put, we would like for all Catholic school students to have the opportunity to learn the skills, experience the growth and share in the fun found in participating in organized sports. Our efforts are focused on deserving resource challenged Catholic schools located in and around the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. To achieve our goals, we raise funds annually to assist our participating schools in obtaining and paying for the basic necessities of a youth sports program, such as:
- Coaches,
- Uniforms,
- Equipment, and
- League and Referee Fees.
We also seek to enhance the Catholic students sporting experience by:
- Increasing the skill level of coaches by organizing coaching clinics for selected sports.
- Increasing the opportunities of our Catholic student athletes to compete by organizing tournaments for selected sports.
The intent is for Catholic school students to play on a team for their school, have the opportunity to learn the skills required to participate in a sport, learn the life lessons that team sports provide and to have a fun time while playing an organized sport.

China swim community calls WADA to knock at its door and ask about rogue coach Zhou Ming and two boys who missed a meet as the sport is rocked by the death of a 17-year-old swimmer: Qing Wenyi won the girl's 100 and 200 breaststroke titles at the China Youth Games last month – yesterday she died soon after screaming out and waking roommates in a dormitory on national-team camp in Beijing
About five hours ago I posted this on another SwimVortex article:
"And I am sure there will be much darker, murkier, dirty, nasty swimming secrets that raise their ugly, festering heads over the next few months but they are festering sores which are better exposed so they can be disinfected rather than hidden to continue their insidious and toxic infiltration throughout the organism that is our sport."
This was not what I had in mind. Good grief. It is surely the responsibility of the Chinese government to ascertain the exact cause of death of this poor girl.
I met Zhou Ming in the 1990's. He described the ability of his swimmers to deal with 'super-loading' (my phrase, not his) as being due to "special measures." Special measures indeed.
So sad.
Everything and everybody will die eventually, but I hope such a sudden tragic circumstances that happened to this poor girl will not happen to other Chinese swimmers such as Sun Yang who has serious heart condition and whose critical medication TMZ has been disallowed.
Doping develops cardiac disorders…
Wake up, aswimfan.
Deeply concerning on both fronts; one's thoughts are with her parents and one would hope that they will inevitably find out the whole truth. The return of Zhou Ming is worrying although the presence of the "syndicates" is no real surprise.
ASW; just what ARE the facts with regards to Sun Yang ? Just what documented proof has been put forward and what independent experts (if any) have been able to examine them ? A career in the events that he pursues and THAT medication just do not add up.
My condolences to Qing's family and friends.
How do you not conduct an autopsy when a seemingly healthy young person just drops dead? It's not just for the sake of the family but also to understand how to better screen for such conditions going forward in the population.
Contrast this to the very thorough investigation into Alex Dale Oen's early death.
Mr. Bjarnasson,
I was just being polite, mindful and not accusatory.
The poor girl, how awful. I can't imagine what her family must be going through. Surely we owe it to them to demand some answers.
All to similar to what the Germans were doing to those girls back in the 70s….very sad and Roy, hence my comment on a previous article when I stated that I cannot trust any times by Chinese teenagers. You get my point now? I hope this tragic incident uncovers the truth and that the people responsible for this death suffer the consequences.
That's horrible news.
It is so sad to look at this innocent open smile of the child and realize that nothing more will happen in her life. If she was drugged as many imply here then it is terrible, if she had preexisting conditions known by officials and parents then it is even more evil. That may explain parent's position against autopsy.
This is the problem, the chinese are laws unto themselves, there has got to be a full investigation into her death, how can things change when there is so much corruption and cover ups!
I do think that the Chinese sports machine in its present form is not sustainable in the long run. As families get richer under a constantly improving Chinese economy, they are going to be able to see a far better future for their 1.2 children than putting them into a machine that views them as common parts that are easy enough to throw away when they break.
I would not be surprised if the bulk of the kids who get sucked into the 'sport boarding kindergarten' system already skew toward coming from poorer rural areas rather than the more affluent urban realms of the Little Emperors and Little Empresses.
Sadly, any such changes to make the machine more human are too late for Qing.
I find it premature to link this tragic death to doping. It could have nothing to do with her being a swimmer. Correlation is not causation, gents.
Quite so, Therealuigi … but if they are serious about letting this pass without an autopsy then the assumptions will be heavier in favour of thinking the worst than they would be in the case of proper investigation and a coroner's report backed by autopsy. That a 17-year-old could die in such circumstances without a legal entity saying or being able to say, with respect to any parental wishes, 'sorry but this is a case where an autopsy is definitively required … unless you can tell us the medical cause of death without an autopsy, signed by doctors at the scene of her death' is truly alien to what one would expect in Europe and many other parts of the world, for example. It will be interesting to see if the 'no autopsy' holds.
Of, and it's a big if, it turns out this young lady passed away as a result of doping enduced complications, somebody needs to be held accountable. It would suggest she'd been 'doping' long before her 16th birthday, therefore as a minor, and no minor actively pursues illegal substances to enhance their performance.
To clarify, that is one of many possible scenarios and I am not suggesting doping was involved in this young lady's death. It was just a response to the suggestions by comments above.
I hope the 'suits' in China find the compassion & respect this lady and her family deserve and order a full and open autopsy to determine what really happened.
Condolences to all who knew her, RIP.
It's hard to believe the parents of an apparently healthy 17 year old do not wish to know how their child died. I suspect they have asked for an autopsy but under pressure from the authorities they have agreed to keep quiet about the results.
Whether that is the case or not, longstroke, the legal process and the coroner should step in: when a child dies on a sports camp – & a national youth champion and part of the count of those registered as national teamsters – after collapsing in the middle of the night in an environment with doctors, coaches and other 'guardians' present and working with her every day, it is inconceivable in just about all, if not all, major swim nations that legal system and standard procedure would be anything other that an autopsy followed by a coroner's report. And depending on the result of that there would have to be an inquiry. To my mind, the Chinese Swimming Association (and the authorities directly responsible for the camp and facilities and environment in which Qing Wenyi was in) should be pressing for an autopsy and report; it needs to know how and why if it is to uphold its responsibility to the girl who was a member of its organisation and to the many others who may benefit from the information and knowledge that could flow from such an inquiry, regardless of the spectrum of possibilities and causes in the case.
Dee, it is not a big if. Fit 17 year olds don't just drop dead.
Felix, Personally I was just showing a little rectitude to the entire situation and those involved. Right now, I wouldn't feel right throwing around accusation or casting aspersions as, from my position, they would be entirely baseless and relying on unsubstantiated 'evidence' or hearsay.
"Fit 17 year olds don't just drop dead".
That must be the mother of all tautologies.
Dear Felix, the point is not whether or not the girl was fit (obviously, not) but what was the cause of her death.
If the long jump to conclusions was an Olympic event, I would see gold medal potential in some of the posters above … 😀
Totally agree, Therea. We do not KNOW the cause of death or what underlying medical issues this young swimmer may have had. It is her age, and what appears to the circumstances, that would in most societies trigger at least some level of coronial enquiry.
That last thought, Commonwombat, is an interesting one. The thing is, here: yes, we are talking about a Chinese girl and in China – clear jurisdiction. We are also talking about a member of the CSA, thus member of FINA by association and a girl preparing for international competition in a specific sports environment. If there is no autopsy, we learn nothing about what caused Qing's death … but we would be reminded that in sport, China is a law unto itself and one that apparently cares little for what the rest of the world might think, even when a 17-year-old National Youth champion and national senior championships finalist in one of the top 3 nations in world swimming dies in the night. I sincerely hope that there are those at the CSA and in Chinese sport who understand that and do something about it, starting with a call for an autopsy, if only to clear (or call to account) all those in whose guardianship this swimmer was to be found when she screamed out in the night and died soon after.
I've actually had a seemingly fit 17 year old drop dead about 10-15 feet away from me- a brain aneurysm that, by accounts from people who knew her well, was essentially asymptomatic.
You're never going to be able to catch 100% of those kinds of sad events but you can figure out how to develop protocols that look for specific signs of the impending events and reduce that sudden death rate in a meaningful way. And a proper autopsy is one of the ways you learn and develop your protocols.
Just so, beachmouse.
Roy you answered your own question in your last comment. They don't want to do one because they don't want to show the cause of death nor illustrate the risks involved……I will say no more. Why your constantly defending Sun is beyond me as well. Who are you Roy, maybe I will bump into you late at night at a dark bar and Il buy you a drink as long as you promise not to mention Sun or Ledecky 😉 if you do the rest are on you
As Ning zetao's teammate ,Wang lizhuo is a swimmer of Navy swimming team.
Yes, yishengsheng (happy to make that clear in the article) – the report is about speculation on the deck in Fuzhou and the deep concerns therein. It is suggested that Ming with working with swimmers outside his immediate program. We cannot know the truth of that until China becomes more open and engages, starting with leading figures in the CSA. It would be very easy for them to make contact and say 'not so, here is the truth'… same thing on Qing's sad death: it would be very easy for sports authorities to say 'no, in this case, very sorry but there must be an autopsy – we need to know'. I look forward to hearing that very thing. If you see that happen in the China media, please let us know.
It would also be helpful to know: where was Wang's childhood program? Who was his coach before he raced for Navy? There is no record of him at 14 and under in terms of international results and results that make international rankings.
Craig, as far as I read the news from the China media, the farewell ceremony of Qing was conducted and her body was then cremated in 11 Nov. It seemed that no autopsy had been done before cremation.
Thank you for letting us know, Tabo To. That is tragic. We will never know how this child died, even though someone probably has a good idea.
"I just hope nothing happens to sun yang. I know he is paranoid and may not be taking any medication."
Roy, you have repeated this sentence over and over and now have managed to slip it into a conversation that had nothing to do with Sun Yang. What are you getting at? This is not kindergarten; if you are trying to pass the subliminal message that Sun Yang's doping scandal was all about his health, or than any future scandal will be about his health, just be informed that you are getting nowhere.
On the death of the poor Qing Wenyi, I will say this and then will shut up. The fact that her parents did not ask for an autopsy does not necessarily mean that they were intimidated by someone. The obsession with wanting to know why someone passed, and who or what is to blame, is typically Western. And I personally know of at least one young couple who chose not to have autopsy on their prematurely dead child although they had reasons to suspect that his death might be partially blamed on the institution where he had been hospitalized, because they could not stand the thought of the child's body being ripped open. They chose to let go, bury him and accept what had happened.
I know of such cases, too, Therea and quite right to note that aspect of the sorrow inherent in the death of children. In the case of a national champion on official camp in elite sport in a nation with a very bad doping past, all, with respect to any parental wishes, regardless of whether they were or were nor coerced, should have pressed for autopsy and inquiry, in my view. I am aware of all sorts of contracts and agreements that come with being a member of national teams and elite programs the world over. It seems to me that child protection and a commitment to proper inquiry in the event of tragedy are just as valid as all and any of those other clauses that folk and their parents sign up to, including commitments to anti-doping and all that links that to welfare of the athlete.
In another news, Russia has been given punishment.
Let's see how many medals they will win in Rio.

The crucial ingredient in Selin Kiazim's bacon sandwiches comes as a surprise. In a controversial move for bacon-buttie purists, she has left out the ketchup. Instead, what cuts through the smokey, streaky meat and soft Turkish bread is something more usually associated with health food — dates.
Anyone who's ever made a bad joke about fancying a date is going to have to think of a better line because the fruits are everywhere. At Palomar in Soho date and honey syrup is poured on beetroot carpaccio, burnt goat's cheese and hazelnuts, while Yotam Ottolenghi drizzles date syrup on sweet-potato pancakes at Nopi and Duck & Waffle wraps them in bacon.
"Dates, in particular Medjool ones, are a fantastic ingredient," says Kiazim, who will be serving the sandwich at her new restaurant, Oklava, opening in Shoreditch next month. "Their sweetness works well with game and recently I used them in a dish with braised peppers and pickled shallots to counteract the acidity in the salad."
Her date butter has also recently launched at Selfridges. Kiazim says: "After so many people requesting special orders it seemed only right to reward the date butter fans with somewhere to buy it for themselves." It is slightly salty and studded with pieces of fruit — great on toast. Date butter complements meat and cheese in a similar way to bacon going with maple syrup but the fruit make it less cloying than other sugary concoctions.
Despite being sweet, dates have health benefits. Deliciously Ella uses them to stick oat bars together or tops them with almond butter as an easy snack. "They're a wonder fruit," says Jackie Brown, a food technologist who works with Beloved on date nectar as a sugar substitute and granola, where it gives depth to crunchy nuts and seeds. "Microbiologists discovered that the nectar extracted from dates may help to fight off harmful bacteria quicker than the celebrated Manuka honey. They are a great source of energy, high in fibre, rich in minerals and antioxidants." She adds them to everything from tagines to brownies and also freezes them for a refreshing bite.
