NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Merrimack alum and men's lacrosse head coach Mike Morgan (Merrimack '00) has finalized a new contract to continue leading the Warriors, as announced by Dean O' Keefe, Interim Director of Athletics. Morgan is entering his sixth season as Merrimack's head coach and 12th year with the program, including two years as an assistant coach and four as a student-athlete.
"Mike has a proven ability to consistently lead Merrimack to regional and national prominence while maintaining our emphasis on academic integrity, character, and community involvement," said O'Keefe. "As one of the most successful and sought after young head coaches in the game, we are very pleased to have Coach Morgan continue his role at Merrimack going forward."
In his first five seasons, Morgan guided Merrimack to its first-ever NCAA Final Four in 2009, a Northeast-10 Tournament Championship in 2010 and an appearance in four straight NE-10 Championship games dating back to 2009.
The Northeast-10 Coach of the Year in 2008, Morgan became the first head coach in NCAA Division II men's lacrosse history to win 50 games in his first four seasons after defeating Le Moyne in Syracuse on May 6, 2011.
"I sincerely appreciate the continued support that President Hopey and the College provide for our program," said Morgan. "It is an exciting time to be at Merrimack College, and I look forward to helping build on our current momentum as the College continues to grow. I am honored by the opportunity to continue leading my alma mater, and I am excited to further the growth of our program and our commitment to excellence on the field, in the classroom, and in the community."
As part of his new contract responsibilities, Morgan will relinquish his athletic department business manager duties to further focus his efforts on directing the lacrosse program.
In five seasons as head coach, Morgan owns a 63-19 career record after guiding Merrimack to a 13-3 mark in 2012.
Morgan has produced eight All-Americans and three Northeast-10 Players of the Year in his five seasons, headlined by Greg Rogowski (Cohoes, NY) and Nick Maggio (Winchester, MA) both of whom have gone on to play Major League Lacrosse.
Off the field, the men's lacrosse team recorded a 3.09 GPA in the spring semester of 2012, its highest performance in the classroom under Morgan. Morgan's student-athletes are also fixtures in the community, volunteering in the Adopt a Platoon Effort, which strives to provide a better deployment quality of life to our troops by sending care packages and letters.
A 2000 graduate of Merrimack, Morgan was an All-American midfielder in 2000 and New England Player of the Year, guiding Merrimack to its first-ever Northeast-10 Championship.

Former employer speaks highly of woman injured in Courtenay drive-thru
A driver who was pinned between her van and the Courtenay McDonald's drive-thru window Sunday is described as "a delight" by a former employer who is planning a fundraiser for the woman.
Barry Van Dusen, owner of the Whistle Stop Neighbourhood Pub, said the 33-year-old former employee, whom he declined to identify, was "a good worker and always full of life" when she worked for him a few years ago.
Shortly before 11 a.m. on Remembrance Day, the Courtenay woman — who has not been identified publicly — leaned out of her vehicle at the restaurant's drive-thru to pick up money that had fallen to the ground.
The van she was driving moved forward and pinned her between the wall of the drive-thru and the van door, said Const. Nicole Hall of the Comox Valley RCMP.
"It hasn't been determined if she had the vehicle in park, but it could be at some point her foot was on the brake pedal, and then her foot released," Hall said earlier this week. "That's what we're looking into, but it hasn't been confirmed."
Susan Granberg, who was driving a vehicle directly ahead of the van, which rear-ended her vehicle in the drive-thru, said she heard a loud scream.
"I looked in my rearview mirror and I thought it looked like she had cut the corner really quickly, and hit the post," she added. "Her arm was pinned, and from that moment on, it was just panic."
Granberg added emergency personnel had to use the Jaws of Life to extricate the unconscious woman from her vehicle.
Van Dusen noted he found out about the accident Sunday afternoon, and said he was shocked.
"It's a horrible thing to happen to anyone, especially someone you know," he added.
He said the woman, who suffered from serious head injuries, is recovering in a Victoria-area hospital and "smiled and squeezed someone's arm" earlier this week when visitors arrived.
Van Dusen and his staff are planning a fundraiser for the former employee Nov. 30/Dec. 1 at the pub, and are collecting items for a silent auction. Anyone wishing to donate items can bring them to Tammy at the Whistle Stop in Courtenay.

So today, Brandon Dubinsky goes to arbitration … barring a last minute settlement on a new contract.
The educated guess is he gets around $4M per for one or two years (the Rangers choice, from my understanding) from the arbitration award.
And that he either goes through something like this again next summer, or is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in 2013 (if the current free agency rules remain in place in the new CBA).
Since we've already beaten this to death, let's just wait and see what happens today.
Thanks for those who sent in topics they'd like to have discussed here in the dog days of summer. I think we'll have plenty of slow days to get to all of them.
See youse later.

NEW ORLEANS, La. – The Saint Leo women's cross country team earned regional recognition on Monday as they were preseason ranked eighth in the south region according to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
The Lions, who welcome in eight freshmen student-athletes to the 2012 squad, are just three days away from the start of their regular season. Also rejoining the team is 2010 All-Sunshine State Conference runner Andrea Maxwell as she returns to the group after an injury plagued 2011.
In 2011, the Lions saw their first-ever individual runner advance to the NCAA National Championships, while posting an impressive team score in the NCAA South Region run.
In 2012, the team will compete in six regular season meets, while also playing host to their first home event in five seasons.
Regions in DII are determined by conference affiliation. Many from the Central and South Central regions switched regions for the 2012 season. Most notably, the MIAA went from the South Central to Central regions and the RMAC was switched to the South Central region from the Central.
The NCAA Division II Regional Championships will be held on Saturday, November 3 and Sunday, November 4.
USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning team strength with current-season results in determining predicted team finishes at the NCAA Regional Championships.
View the complete regional poll here.

WESSEX Water fisheries performances for the week ending July 6:
WITH 90 fish caught out of 46 returns and a rod average of 1.9 it was a good week, but due to the changeable weather things have been quiet, according to head ranger Gary Howe.
The best bags of the week were landed by P.
Southey, weighing 17lb 12oz.
A. Lovelock had a five-fish limit weighing 16lb 4oz and M. McColl had a five-fish limit weighing 13lb 12oz, which included a cracking brown trout weighing 3lb 10oz.
There were also several fish caught weighing between four and five pounds.
The tactics this week have been slow sinking lines with Diawl Bach, Hares Ear, small black Buzzers and Cats Whisker.
WITH 396 fish caught and a rod average of 2.6 it has been another good week's fishing at Clatworthy, says ranger Dave Pursey.
The best bags went to C. Bee, his bag weighing 23lb, and A. Dodds, who had a limit weighing 22lb.
The best four-fish limits were caught by D.
McConnell, weighing in at 17lb, and P. Giles had a limit weighing 14lb 8oz.
The main tactics were intermediate lines with Blue Flash Damsel, Montana, Copper Head and some Diawl Bach patterns.
Some anglers also caught on floating lines with long leaders using Buzzer patterns.
The best areas were Rowes End on the weed beds, and the bay fished well, along with the boats doing well in the dam.
WITH 66 fish caught and a rod average of 1.4 the fishing this week has been hard, says Ivan Tinsley, senior ranger.
With only 45 anglers fishing on the reservoir it makes it hard to locate where the fish are and what they are feeding on.
The best fishing has been when there have been overcast skies with a ripple on the water.
The best bag limit was taken by P. Maggs, weighing 12lb 12oz.
He fished in front of the lodge using a floating line with a small Appetiser on the point and Diawl Bachs on the droppers.
Three of the angler's five fish came to the Appetiser.
The few boats that have gone out have also found it hard going as the airlines have been off and the fish haven't been in that area where generally they are caught during the hot, bright conditions.

>General Running>Running in Boston (besides that little Monday event)
Ok. I need advice for a couple good running locations in Boston for Sat/Sun. 4-8 miles each. Something close to a T stop, where "close" does not have to be super close, I suppose, but does need to be easy to find. I don't mind hills, I don't mind flat. I *do* kind of mind having to stop at 1,000 traffic lights if it is possible not to have to do that.
Sites like mapmyrun are loaded with stuff and made my head swim.
I'm betting that we've done this thread before here; sorry for the comet. Search terms "Boston", "Boston run", and "running in Boston" didn't magically show me something quickly.
I'm staying at the "Hilton Financial District", but I can go anywhere I can get w/o a car.
Ok then.
No Talent Drips
Running along the Charles is a good option, to avoid traffic lights (and motorized traffic). Here is a funky map with distances.
Dei Gratia
The Hilton in the financial District is right by my old office. You're about a mile from the Charles River and all those nice running paths. In my running log I have a route titled "Charles River". Map is viewable. Very easy. No T required.
I can't get my Garmin to work until I get to Boston Common - that's why the map is a little weird. But take look at the map and it's not bad.
You can take Franklin Street or Milk Street until you get to Downtown Crossing. Then take Bromfield Street to Tremont Street. Once you're on Tremont you can't miss Boston Common. Run to the opposite corner of the Common (see map) . Run along Beacon (or through the Public Garden) until you reach the corner of Beacon Street and Arlington Street. Cross Beacon Street and you'll see a funky orange twirley bridge thingy that takes you right to the Charles river walk/bike way.
MTA: fixed a few little errors
You could also go the other direction and take Franklin or Milk Street to the Rose Kennedy Greenway. A little noisier. Not as many pretty college girls sunbathing.
If you want a quieter location than the Charles you can take the Red Line to Davis (or Alewife), and follow the Minuteman bike path (flat) out of town as far as you like. It's immediately out of the right-hand exit off the turnstiles - go left around to the back of the T exit.
I'm not a huge fan of the Charles, mostly because of the noise, but I would also recommend it to someone from out of town. I'd also recommend just hopping over the Longfellow Bridge into Cambridge, it's really hard to go wrong running in that area and you can take a glance at MIT, Harvard and historical landmarks to your heart's content.
Unfortunately my favorites are not on public transportation: Battle Rd in Lexington/Concord (dirt path past a load of famous Revolutionary War landmarks), and around Walden Pond in Concord.
There is a Saturday morning group run hosted by the City Sports in Porter Square (Red Line). That run is 5 miles through Harvard and then along the Charles River with only 1 or 2 stops for lights if you run like someone from Boston...maybe 3-5 if you don't like getting hit by cars.
I agree with the comments above about the Minuteman Bike Path (Red Line)...there is some good running there (I would suggest heading to Alewife over Davis because Arlington and Lexington have a bit less traffic at the crossings except maybe at Lake St). If you want hills you can hang a left onto Route 60 when the Bike Path gets to Arlington Center and hit Grey Street or Park Ave etc.
Also from Alewife you could run over to do laps at Fresh Pond.
If you took the Orange Line out to Oak Grove you could hit some trails in the Fells Reservation...I've only ever been to the Fells on the west side of Rt-93 though so I can't recommend any specific trails.
Someone should organize a group run. It would be fun to take a jog with a couple other Boston RAers
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.
My only non-marathon running experiences in Boston have been along the Charles. You can get some good miles in there, crossing the bridges. Very nice run.
HTFU? Why not!
USATF Coach
an amazing likeness
There is lots of great running around there. First, stop at Marathon Sports in Copley Square and ask for their free Boston Running Map. From Copley square, go four blocks north and you hit Commonwealth Ave, which in that area has a linear park running down the middle of it. If you follow it to the right you get to the Public Gardens and Boston Common. To the left you can follow the Emerald Necklace series of parks: Back Bay Fens, Riverway, Leverett Pond, Jamaica Pond, Arnold Arboretum. Another great option is to use one of the several footbridges over Memorial Drive to get out onto the Charles River Esplanade. You can make loops anywhere from about 3 to 20 miles by running along the river and using the bridges.
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
Head out to Southie. Here's an RA Map of run I did once. You will get a great view of the harbor, bay, and Good Will Hunting locals.
Just a thought, but you could run a cool part of the Boston Marathon route. You can take the "T" green line to Woodland Station in Newton. I think this spot is nicknamed "Hell's Alley." Once outside the station you'd head Northeast on Rt. 16 aka Washington St for about half a mile, then turn right at the famed fire house onto Comm Ave. Run to Homer St. and head back if you want 4 miles. If you want 8 keep running on Comm Ave just passed Hammondswood Rd then loop back. What ever you decide I hope that you have a great trip.
Someone should organize a group run. It would be fun to take a jog with a couple other Boston RAers
I'd be up for one on Sunday.
Milkman - what thread did that come out of? As it is Ed, I suspect it has been around for awhile.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.
Milkman - what thread did that come out of? As it is Ed, I suspect it has been around for awhile.
Since I sucked it over as a quote, I think you can click on the "Quote from..." right above the quote box to get to the source thread. [that's meant to be an 'fyi' and not a 'here, let me google that for you' snark.]
It is definitely an grand master-aged message, but struck me as having most of the core, downtown possibles stuffed into one action-packed message from Ed.
Heh. I have been here for 4 or 5 years. It did not even occur to me that the quote attribution might be a link that would do something. That is very cool.
Holy crap.
I have been here for 4 or 5 years.

HOUSTON - Six children were orphaned after their parents died in a murder-suicide on Sunday, police said.
Houston police said operators received multiple 911 calls just seconds after the 10:30 p.m. shootings at a home on Defender Street and Calloway Street.
"It appears it's going to be a husband and a wife. We don't know who the shooter will be," said Kim Meek of the Houston Police Department.
Investigators said Sharman Ford, 33, fatally shot Lashandra Washington, 34, before killing himself.
Neighbors said the couple had six children, the oldest being 15. Officials said some of the children were home when the murder-suicide happened, but they're being cared for by relatives.
Police said they were called out to the home to quell a family disturbance on March 5. Officials have not said what sparked the murder-suicide.

FINAL—Game 1: Florida Tech 2, Saint Leo 1 – (Saint Leo, Fla. – Thomas B. Southard Stadium)
SAINT LEO STARTERS: Brnovich (DH), Vitale (3B), Twitty (RF), Moses (LF), Revell (1B), Newcomb (CF), Torres (C), Perez (SS), Teasley (P)
FLORIDA TECH: Wortman (RF), Johannessen (CF), Chavarria (DH), Carcaise (1B), Bartlett (2B), Becerra (3B), Bodziak (DH), Alfonso (SS), Flynn (C), Lewis (P)
AT A GLANCE: In the second pitchers' duel in as many games the Lions once again came up on the losing end after a stellar pitching performance from starter Rick Teasley (3-3). Both teamed totaled seven hits on the afternoon, but Florida Tech limited the Lions' rally in the sixth when Saint Leo scored its lone run of the game.
- In the top of the fourth Jorge Chavarria reached base on an infield single and the next batter, Scott Carcaise, drove a pitch from Teasley over the right field wall to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead.
- The Lions got a rally going in the bottom of the sixth when Dillon Vitale and Bobby Twitty strung together a pair of singles through the right side. Moses then sent a double down the left field line, plating Vitale from second base. On the same play as Twitty was going from first to third, he rounded the third base bag a bit too far and Panthers were able to put him away to end the scoring threat.
- In the eighth inning Saint Leo caught a break when Ryan Brnovivh reached on a fielding error by the Panthers' second baseman. Vitale then singled up the middle—advancing Brnovich to third base and 90 feet from tying the game. The Panthers turned to their closer, Mannara, who was able to strike out Moses to end the inning.
- Teasley went 8.2 innings on the hill—allowing just two earned runs and seven hits while tallying six strikeouts.
- Collecting two hits at the plate was Vitale, who also scored his team's lone run of the game.
- Moses also contributed two hits in game one, including the double in the sixth that brought home the Lions one run.
- Florida Tech's Carcaise drove in the Panthers' two runs in the game on a two-run homer in the fourth inning that would prove to be the difference in the ballgame.
FINAL—Game 2: Saint Leo 4, Florida Tech 2 – (Saint Leo, Fla. – Thomas B. Southard Stadium)
SAINT LEO STARTERS: Brnovich (DH), Rawdow (2B), Twitty (RF), Moses (LF), Newcomb (CF), Revell (1B), Vitale (3B), Perez (SS), Torres (C), Hewitt (P)
FLORIDA TECH: Wortman (RF), Johannessen (CF), Chavarria (DH), Carcaise (1B), Bartlett (2B), Allen (C), Becerra (3B), Bodziak (LF), Alfonso (SS), Ward (P)
AT A GLANCE: In a tie ballgame going into the fifth inning the Lions rallied for three runs which proved to be enough to hold off the Panthers to salvage one game of this three-game series. Lions' starter Matt Hewitt tossed 3.1 innings, allowing just one run, and then the bullpen came though over the course of the next 3.2 innings to put away Florida Tech.
- On an 0-2 pitch in the bottom of the second inning Michael Revell laced a ball past a diving infielder for a base hit. The next man up, Vitale, sent a single into right field to put Revell in scoring position to set up a sacrifice fly from Daniel Torres to give the Lions a 1-0 lead.
- Jorge Chavarria drew a one-out walk for the Panthers and reached third base on a base knock from Carcaise. Second baseman Andrew Barlett then drove home the game-tying run on a single right back up the middle.
- In the Saint Leo fifth Ryan Brnovich and Frank Rawdow sparked the offense with back to back base hits to give the Lions men on first and third with just one out. Bobby Twitty then lined a ball down the right-field line to bring home Brnovich and advance Rawdow to third. After Taed Moses was intentionally walked to load the bases, Chris Newcomb sent a sacrifice fly deep to centerfield to score Rawdow. The Lions plated their third run of the inning when Twitty aggressively took home on a passed ball that got away from the Panther catcher.
- Hewitt went 3.1 innings on the hill, allowing three hits and just one run before the Lions went to the bullpen.
- Adam Albers tossed 1.2 innings of one run baseball en route to his second with of the season. Albers allowed just one run and two hits while striking out a pair of Panther hitters.
- Michael Dunnigan earned the first save of his career after he closed out the ninth inning in order while striking out one.
- Brnovich went 2-for-4 in game two while also scoring a run for the Lions.
- Revell went 2-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in the win
- Going 2-for-3 with an RBI double was Twitty, who also went on to score a run as well.
Next up for Saint Leo is a midweek game this coming Tuesday when the Lions travel to Warner University. First pitch of that game is set for 3:00 p.m.

This issue seems to come up frequently: Someone wants to use a renderer that has a flow-based component like mx:Text or the new Spark Label or Spark RichEditableText and wants the rows to be of variable heights. Trouble ensues.
There is a key aspect of the MX item renderer lifecycle that has to be accounted for in these scenarios, and that is that, before a renderer is measured, the host List or DataGrid will set the explicitWidth of the renderer to the width of the list or the datagrid column. This is important since the renderer's measuredHeight is dependent on the width of the flow-based text components. If this isn't handled correctly, the renderer may clip text and/or make it impossible to calculate the exact size of the List or DataGrid.
This also implies that using percent width in a renderer won't help as percentWidth isn't applied until after measurement. You have to tie the width of any flow-based component to the explicitWidth of the renderer so that the measuredHeight is reported correctly. Sometimes that will require overriding the measure() method, but often you can just use data-binding.
Here is an example of a custom flow-based renderer. It draws a square in the upper-left corner and then flows text to the right of it onto multiple lines. I use data-binding in this example to set the width of the mx:Text so it will then report its measuredHeight correctly. That allows me to figure out the exact height of the DataGrid by calling measureHeightOfItems and factoring in the viewMetrics.

>Off the Beaten Path>So, what can I do with this Apple TV box?
Proboscis Colossus
So, my brother-in-law bought us an Apple TV box for Christmas...pretty awesome of him.
Apple TV has always been one of those things that I was aware of, but since our satellite internet has a data cap and thus, we don't do much with streaming/downloading video, I never really looked into it much.
So, anyone who is more familiar with it...what can we do with it? Here are the particulars of our situation:
1. As mentioned, data cap at home. There is Wifi at school, but I don't know if it would be useable with the filters and besides, I hate to abuse the privilege. Though, if there is some school application for it, I bet I could talk to our IT guy.
2. We do have iPhones and iPads.
3. Our TV only has two HDMI inputs, currently taken up by the Blu-ray player and the satellite. We could get a switch, though.

Chasing the bus
My daughter got us one last year, and I didnt know what to do with it either, but here's a few cool things; push photos/slide shows, video, including YouTube and amazon prime (from iPad), and push music from iTunes. Of course, Netflix, but that burns download gigs fast.
"You're either on the bus or off the bus." ― Tom Wolfe, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
We use it mostly for Netflix and MLB(when in season), neither are good if you have a data cap.
fear the Col Sanders
I love mine. One of my favorite uses is music. I have the Apple TV hooked up to my receiver and speakers. I stream music from my iTunes on my computers or from my iPhone to the Apple TV. I love being able to control my tunes from my computer/phone and having it play on my real speakers.
I also love using it to do slideshows and streaming videos I took on my phone to the TV.
Just because I look dumb doesn't mean I'm not...
For those with Apple TV, how is the video quality? I tried "playon" using a wii, and the quality of the video was poor. Netflix streaming was a lot better, though.
I've got a fever...
Data cap is a big problem, since the whole point of the box is to stream video.
We use ours for:
If you can, you should switch ISPs to something without a cap, because most of what this box does that's useful is streaming from the internet. You will crush your data cap and make it suffer without a lot of effort.
MTA: You should be able to force a lower quality video stream ( somewhere in the settings). THis will conserve bandwidth, but you won't see it in HD.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
If you can, you should switch ISPs to something without a cap, because most of what this box does that's useful is streaming from the internet.
If you can, you should switch ISPs to something without a cap, because most of what this box does that's useful is streaming from the internet.
BELIEVE me, if we had any options, we would. Unfortunately, at our location, our only options for high-speed internet are radio internet (which would require constructing a tower for the antenna), and our data-capped satellite internet. I do hear rumors that AT&T may run a DSL line out to our subdivision sometime this next year.

"Loved this cute little post card for a simple announcement, liked the design, happy with our order as is. Good paper quality, colors are true to online example. Great product, will be ordering invites."
"I loved that I could enlarge and reposition the photo we had chosen for the card. Being able to put text on the back of the card provided us a way to give details about a family picnic without dealing with response cards, tissue paper, etc. The best feature of this particular card is that it only requires standard postage! The card stock is of excellent quality, and we received it on the date requested. We have also heard from friends who found it to be a most beautiful invitation. The design truly captured the essence of a destination wedding in Hawaii."
"We loved this postcard as an announcement for our courthouse wedding, especially since we could feature one favorite photo on the front, and use the space for text on the back to tell people the details and clue them in to expect more info about a party/reception down the road. It shipped quickly, design was just what we were looking for, the electronic proof gave me a lot of peace of mind that it would be perfect."

The Winning Combination 2Logic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
You are back on the same game show with four other contestants. You didn't realise last time that the winner gets another appearance on the show! You now have another chance to win half a million dollars and become a millionaire! The objective is to crack the combination of the safe using the clues. The first person to do so will win $500,000.
The safe combination looks like this:
A digit can be used more than once in the code, and there are no zeroes.
Here are the clues:
1. When adding the first number of the third set with the second number of the second set, you will get a number below 8.
2. The only digits not used in the code are 5 and 7.
3. When adding the two digits of the first set together, you will not get 10.
4. If you multiply the second set by 4, you will get the fourth set reversed.
5. No set has a number above 90.
6. The product of both the digits in the first set is below 30 but above 20.
7. One of the number sets is 66.
8. There is only one 8 in the combination, and it is in the last set.
Now, get cracking!
Warning: Hint shows which set the 66 is in.
AnswerThe set is 39-21-66-48.
First of all, the second clue tells you there are no 5's or 7's in the combination.
Now we go to the fourth clue. It tells you that if you multiply the second set by 4, you will get the fourth set reversed. There are only a few numbers that will satisfy this:
11, 12, 16, 21, 22, 23 and 24.
Now we skip down to clue 8, which tells us there is one 8 only, and it is in the last set. It could either be the first digit or the second digit.
However, this eliminates these numbers from being in the second set: 11, 16, 23 and 24. Now, only 12, 21 and 22 are the possibilities for being in the second set.
Now, let's look at clue 7. This tells us that 66 is one of the four number sets. We know it can't be in the second, or fourth, and since clue six tells us the product of the two numbers in the first set ranges from 21-29, 66 must go in the third set.
Now we must look at the first clue. The first number of the third set (6) plus the second number of the second set will get a number below 8. This means it cannot be 12 or 22, because they would both total 8. This means that the second set of numbers is 21. Making good progress!
Now, we come back to clue 4 which tells us the second set multiplied by 4 equals the fourth set reversed. 21 multiplied by 4 is 84, which when reversed is 48!
Now, we come back to clue 6, which tells us the product of the digits in the first set is above 20 but below 30. These are the only numbers that satisfy that condition - and remember, no 5's, 7's or 8's are left in the combination:
39 (3 * 9 = 27)
46 (4 * 6 = 24)
64 (6 * 4 = 24)
93 (9 * 3 = 27)
Now, we look at clue 5. This eliminates 93. Now, come to clue 3. This tells us the sum of the two digits in the first set does not equal 10. This eliminates 46 and 64. The only number left is.... 39!
Now you have your answer;
Congratulations!!! You won, again!! You are over the moon! You have become the first millionaire in five generations of your family history!!

Funny, Peculiar Monty Trent
a few odd snaps
by Monty Trent
About the Book
'What do you mean, funny? Funny peculiar or funny ha-ha?'
Ian Hay, The Housemaster, 1936
This is a collection of pictures made over a period of twelve years. I took up my camera again in 1998 after a gap of over three decades while I was busy at work and with family. Since then, I have hardly gone anywhere without a camera in my pocket or bag. I like nothing better than to mooch around keeping my eyes open ('like a lizard looking for bugs' hissed a man to me in Washington Square, Greenwich Village, NYC) watching out for the oddities of life that pass by unnoticed as we drift along in our daily life.
Most of these pictures were little more than the scratchings in my photo sketch book. They were never meant to be more than 'studies'. I did not set out to prepare a chronicle, only to exercise my camera 'eye'.
As time went on, I started to see a few themes and connexions which I set out here. If you give a million typewriters to a million monkeys for a million years they will eventually type out the Encyclopedia Britannica. This is my contribution . . .

ByReid J. Epstein
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is thinking about running for president in 2016, and says he's "always very humbled to be mentioned" among would-be Republican standard-bearers. But he's not yet in the business of laying out a grand idea of why he should get a promotion from Indianapolis to the White House, remaining careful to not alienate his conservative base while trying to preserve his ability to appeal to moderates.
Mr. Pence was interviewed Friday morning for C-SPAN's Newsmakers program by The Wall Street Journal's Reid Epstein, Robert Costa of the Washington Post and C-SPAN host Greta Brawner. The full interview will air Sunday at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET.
Mr. Pence, who served 12 years in the U.S. House before being elected governor in 2012, dodged questions about protests in Ferguson, Mo., and whether he'd vote to rescind President Barack Obama's deferred-action program for undocumented immigrants because he's focused on governing Indiana. But that didn't stop him from criticizing the administration's foreign policy or promoting the idea that a governor should be the next GOP presidential nominee.
Here are some excerpts from Mr. Pence's remarks:
On whether the 2016 Republican presidential nominee should be a governor, as opposed to a member of Congress:
"I'm more convinced than ever that the cure [for what ails] this country will come more from our state capitals than it comes from the nation's capital. … It would be a mistake for our party to continue to look to Washington, D.C., as the place where we're going to solve many of the intractable problems facing our country."
On his travel to support Republican candidates running in the 2014 elections:
"You bet, around the country, I'm going to be telling the Republican story … particularly at the state level."[wsj-responsive-more-in tag="2016" category="" ]
On whether Republicans can support any pathway to citizenship for DREAMers and other undocumented immigrants:
"I just always believe that we should not reward people with citizenship whose first act in this country was a violation of the law, and I continue to hold that view. But there's plenty of room here for compassion and there's plenty of room here for crafting a solution that will deal with this in the long term."
On whether Republicans must moderate their economic message to adjust for income equality:
"The key going forward for us is not about changing policies, but it's about changing the way we communicate those policies and the way that we're willing to carry those policies into every community in this country. Everybody longs for the American dream."
On the possibility of a 2016 Republican presidential nominee supporting gay marriage:
"I've always believed that issues of this nature that bear upon so closely on our communities and our society are decided by the people, but this is now before the courts and the Supreme Court of the United States at some point in the foreseeable future will either decide that this is an issue that can be decided at the state level … or they'll make a different decision."
On the current unrest in Iraq and Syria:
"It is a consequence of the policies of this administration that have made withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq the primary objective of American foreign policy. I think that has sent the wrong message to the wrong elements in that part of the world and to others that are looking on."

Welcome to Local 6 Theme World
February 26, 2013
I-Drive Update: KINGS Bowl sets April Opening
Who knew upscale bowling was a trend? Clearly it must be after the recent opening of Splitsville at Downtown Disney.
And the addition of 10 bowling lanes to Universal's new Cabana Bay Resort.
Well -- get your borrowed bowling shoes ready. KINGS Bowl has announced it will be the first part of the I-Drive Live development to open. The first KINGS location in Florida is set to fire up the pin-setting machines on April 15.
So what makes this place special? I quote from their press release:
"The 1950s and 1960s are considered to be the golden age of bowling and KINGS' award-winning design and décor captures this nostalgic feeling, while adding modern twists. From the start, KINGS set out to create a unique and memorable entertainment experience by emphasizing world-class food, cold beer, creative cocktails, cutting edge technology and great music. The focus is on classic, retro-inspired décor and executive chef-designed menus brought to life by best-in-industry service. In doing so, KINGS sparked the modern day bowling renaissance and carved a name for itself as the original upscale bowling venue, which has revitalized the sport across America."
Pretty impressive claim. Here's a look at the inside -- thanks to newly-released concept art.
KINGS Orlando will have more than just 22 ten-pin bowling lanes -- look also for four full-sized billiards tables, shuffleboard, and an outdoor bocce ball plus dancing.
It also promises to let beer lovers pour their own from taps at the table.
While it will be 21 & up after 6 p.m., to attract families -- children will be able to use the lanes during the day -- and enjoy homemade ice cream. The dinner menu promises everything from wings to steak rubs.
Here's a link to the KINGS Facebook page for more information. I look forward to bringing you a trip report soon.
Here's a link to a recent report on I-Drive Live's other components and other recent Theme World Blog entries.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/8/2012 (1824 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THEY say the best defence is a good offence. But this Friday evening at Canad Inns Stadium, the best defence will in all likelihood be, well, the best defence.
If the 2-5 Winnipeg Blue Bombers are going to beat the 5-2 B.C. Lions, it is going to have to begin with the Bombers defence at least matching -- and hopefully outperforming -- their counterparts with B.C..
Now, that is a tall order, of course. In case you haven't been paying attention to the CFL the past five weeks, the last time the B.C. Lions gave up a touchdown of any kind was way back in the fourth quarter of a July 20 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos.
Since then, the Lions have played and won three games without surrendering a major to their opponents; the Olympics have begun, played out and long since ended; and Prince William has plucked a pair of tourists to safety with his helicopter while his brother, Harry, got caught on camera with a pair of his own dangling in the wind.
All of which is to say that expecting newly installed Bombers starting QB Joey Elliott to replicate his 406-yard performance last week in a win over Hamilton against B.C. this Friday is probably not being realistic.
What's more within the realm of possibility, however, is Winnipeg's defence stifles Lions QB Travis Lulay, his talented aerial corps and workhorse tailback Andrew Harris to give Elliott and the Bombers a chance to win a low-scoring affair.
This is the same Bombers defence, remember, that held Lulay and the Lions to just 16 points through three quarters in the opening game of 2012 for both teams. And it's also a defence that is -- with the return of linebacker Brandon Stewart this week -- finally playing for the very first team this season with all their chosen 12 starters.
In a season in which the Winnipeg defence has shown tantalizing glimpses of greatness but has still yet to put together the kind of complete and dominating performance that was their trademark last season, there will be no better time than right now to finally put it all together.
"For me personally, it provides extra motivation because I would like to be at their level right now," Bombers defensive co-ordinator Tim Burke said Wednesday of the Lions defence. "Last year at this time, we were at that level. And I think we're slowly getting back to where we were, but it's been a growing process."
Who had the better defence in 2011 was a subject of some debate during Grey Cup Week last November in the lead-up to the Lions and Bombers facing each other in the championship game. While the Bombers defence led in most statistical categories at season's end, the Lions led in a few key categories -- most notably fewest touchdowns and fewest points surrendered.
This season, there has been no debate about who has had the better defence. B.C. is leading the league in several defensive categories, including fewest first downs, fewest net yards, fewest points, fewest TDs, fewest plays from scrimmage and most sacks. The Bombers defence, by contrast, lead in just two categories: fewest passes attempted and lowest average gain per pass.
Still, the only statistic that matters this week is who has the most points on the board at the end of Friday night.
"I think we're starting to get in a groove and our defence is starting to pick it up," cornerback Jovon Johnson said Wednesday. "(B.C.) has been playing well. They play defence the way they know how to play it and they're pretty good at it. So you have to respect that.
"But at the end of the day, our defence is going to go out and do what we're supposed to do. As long as we don't kill ourselves, I think we'll be alright."
Bombers defensive tackle Bryant Turner had three sacks against the Lions (lining up against a rookie) the last time the two teams played and is looking forward to the opportunity to make a difference for his team again.
"I think field position will come into play a lot this game, especially when you've got a defence over there that hasn't been getting scored on much," said Turner.
"The closer our offence starts to their end zone, the better off we're going to be as a team."

Bolton, Bury and District Football League chairman Warren Barlow gives an insight into youth football
THIS week I would like to spend a little time on some of the people who work really hard to provide competition in trying circumstances for the teams in our league.
These people are the unsung heroes in my opinion who are answering the door, phone, text and emails continually from the moment they are voted in at the AGM to the conclusion of the season.
Eleven months of devotion, coping with the stresses and strains put on them by managers, coaches, parents, the FA, and others on the committee, like me who can become a hindrance instead of a helper.
Some people think it's acceptable to ring them after 10pm at night or call round late Friday evening to sign a player on the following morning.
These people work long hours, have families, homes to look after and many run teams, clubs or run out as referees in addition to their role providing competition for Bolton Bury and District Football League members.
These are the committee members, the unsung heroes, the advisors, the experts and the people who make the league what it is.
Unfortunately some step down from time to time, and this season is nothing different as Jamie Brown our Under-9s secretary has given notice to quit at the end of the season.
Jamie has built Farnworth Hurricanes up from a one man band with one team to a club which has multiple teams and caters for over 100 players.
Work, family, Farnworth and the league are huge commitments and something has to give and Jamie has made the right decision to concentrate on the three other areas.
I know everyone associated within the league will join me in thanking Jamie for what he has done over the last three years on this committee and wish him well for the future.
The search starts now to find a successor to keep the momentum going and drive what's good in the game.
If anybody is interested, contact our General Secretary Lesley Allon on email@example.com.

PRI staff mentor and supervise both graduate and undergraduate students
working on paleontological research. Our undergraduates come from Cornell
University and a variety of other institutions and our current graduate students
are PhD. students at Cornell University.
Graduate Students
Brendan M. Anderson
Ph.D. student, Cornell University
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
Brendan's primary research interest is the evolution of gastropod shell morphology in the family Turritellidae, especially uncoiling. He is interested in applying genetic, geochemical, and paleoecological techniques to a variety of paleobiological questions. More information on Brendan's research can be found here.
Stephen Durham
PhD. student, Cornell University,
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
Steve's primary research interests are predator/prey interactions in living and fossil mollusks and their change through time, and more broadly, the application of geohistorical data to current problems facing biodiversity conservation (conservation paleobiology).
Dana Friend
PhD. student, Cornell University,
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
Dana's primary research interest is testing the new and exciting evolutionary hypothesis of "coevolutionary alternation". This hypothesis attempts to explain how the interaction between a generalist predator and its prey can cause both to remain static in the fossil record for long periods of time. She is using time-averaged beach assemblages of mollusc shells and testing for coevolutionary alternation between carnivorous marine snails (Naticids) and its two preferred prey bivalve species (the Atlantic surf-clam and the Blood Ark).

Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned them there was a limit to his patience. Apparently, for the Turkish Prime Minister, that was 12 days. This week riot police, armoured personnel vehicles, and bulldozers stormed Taksim Square, firing tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets at the protesters who had occupied the central Istanbul square for more than a week. People fled, many taking cover in nearby Gezi Park, while police tore down the banners, posters and temporary shelters they had made.
Though Erdogan had talked tough during the entire uprising - the largest test of his political leadership in the past decade - likening the demonstrators to ''thugs'', ''looters'' and ''riff-raff'', for a moment it seemed like he was going to take a more conciliatory approach, agreeing earlier to meet some of the protest's leaders.
But that was a dodge. Erdogan may still meet with them, but he only meets with people from a position of strength. ''They say the Prime Minister is rough. So what was going to happen? Were we going to kneel down in front of these [people]?'' Erdogan said as police moved into the square. ''If you call this roughness, I'm sorry, but this Tayyip Erdogan won't change.''
It's that kind of moxie that makes Erdogan the equivalent of an authoritarian rock star. Among modern strongmen, Turkey's Prime Minister appears to have it all. His authoritarian credentials are solid: Turkey has jailed more journalists than any other country, he runs roughshod over civil society, he wields the country's libel laws like a bludgeon, and hundreds of regime opponents - professors, politicians, generals, activists, and media moguls - have been arrested in recent years.
The part of Erdogan's rule that earns the envy of other authoritarian leaders is the democratic facade that he has maintained. No matter how illiberal his rule may be, Erdogan is also a popular, democratically elected leader who wins by large margins at the ballot box. In a sense, he is like the late Hugo Chavez, but he is even better since he gets results. Turkey's per-capita income has tripled in the past decade, exports have boomed, and marquee multinationals such as Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Pfizer have flocked to Istanbul to set up shop. Erdogan has plans to build a $10 billion airport that will be the world's largest.
When he came to power in 2002, Erdogan inherited an economic mess on Europe's doorstep. Now Turkey is a diplomatic player courted by all sides, and its success has made it a model for other Muslim countries. He is the Lee Kuan Yew of the Bosporus. Erdogan isn't moving up the Dictator's Learning Curve; he's teaching the class.
Authoritarians know it gets harder to maintain one's legitimacy - especially if you are trying to appear to be more democrat than dictator - the longer you hold on to power. That has been the experience in Malaysia, Russia, and Venezuela of late, and many more countries before them. Erdogan has indicated he does not plan to depart the scene soon: the Prime Minister is angling to revise the constitution to carve out a more powerful role for the presidency - and then run for that office next year. He foresees this new presidency as a strong, centralised executive, and has begun describing it as part of a ''Turkish-style'' system. (Warning: When a long-serving leader begins to describe his political system as utterly unique - whether it be Vladimir Putin's ''sovereign democracy'', Hugo Chavez's ''21st-century socialism'', or Lee Kuan Yew's ''Asian values'' - the simple translation is: I'm staying.)
Erdogan may succeed in clearing the square and scrubbing away the graffiti, but this unanticipated national uprising has left him dented. Secular Turks have long said that their country was becoming more polarised with each passing year under Erdogan's rule. Now they have given voice to their resentment, and the image of people taking to the streets (in more than 70 cities) has left an indelible mark that will inspire more activism and citizen involvement. And even if Erdogan remains popular with at least 50 per cent of the country - and he certainly is - this episode left him seeming unhinged at times. From the beginning, he blamed foreigners and terrorist elements for provoking the crisis - much as Assad, Ben Ali, Gaddafi and Mubarak once did. This week, Erdogan was still peddling his conspiracy theories, although the blame had shifted to include others. The demonstrators, he claimed, were being used by ''some financial institutions, the interest-rate lobby, and media groups to [harm] Turkey's economy and [scare away] investments''.
But if Erdogan is really on top of his game he knows that the fault lies entirely with himself. A devout Muslim, Turkey's Prime Minister has always said he would uphold and respect the country's secular laws and institutions. But that feels less true as he tells women they should bear at least three children and his government begins to restrict the sale of alcohol and ban its advertising. This interference in people's daily life, combined with his uncompromising, heavy-handed rule, is what provoked the protests - not terrorists or foreign banks.
Erdogan has simply overreached. Here he would be wise to look to the example set by the Chinese Communist Party. It realised more than 20 years ago that there was no point getting too bogged down in people's personal lives. It was too expensive and, at the end of the day, how do you know they aren't lying? So, they dropped the mass inquiries into people's inner-most secrets and offered a new social compact: do what you want, make some money, maybe even get rich - just leave the politics to us. As a political strategy it won't last forever, but it has ushered in the greatest expansion of wealth in the shortest time in history.
In the past two years, we have become so accustomed to seeing people rise up against their governments (Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, the list goes on) that we expect them to share the same goal - toppling their government. But that's not what most of the people in Taksim Square were clamouring for. They are in no hurry to throw out the system. The truth is that as countries go the system in Turkey has worked pretty well.
The problem isn't the system: it's the man who's running it. What happens when a democratically elected leader rules undemocratically? That is what explains what is happening in Turkey today. And if Erdogan doesn't check himself, there will be many more days that look like the last dozen.

AS water levels slowly recede in Worcester, a busy city-centre road has now reopened after it was submerged under floodwater.
Rising riving levels forced police to close Hylton Road on Thursday evening due to excessive surface water but it re-opened again yesterday morning.
Ed O'Brien, of Severn Trent, said engineers were working 24 hours a day with the Environment Agency and the Highways Authority to help manage rising waters.
"To help minimise the effects of flooding we're continuing to use three pumps to clear water from Hylton Road," he said. "Two pumps have been working as planned since last Friday night, but yesterday evening we used our back-up pump as well, because the flow of water increased.
"Unfortunately, some flooding on Hylton Road did occur. We are happy to report that as a result of these actions flooding in the road was reduced."
The news comes as water levels begin to recede and a drier and brighter outlook is expected for the weekend.
However, county council gritters were set to head out overnight to prepare roads for a predicted frost this morning.
Ian Michaelwaite, of netweather.tv in Pershore, said after a frost overnight and into this morning, today would be much better with very little cloud and maximum temperatures of 5C or 6C.
"There's a risk of icy stretches through the early hours of the morning," he said.
"There will be a hard frost throughout Saturday evening and Saturday night with temperatures dropping to 0C or –1C and in rural areas, –2C or –3C. The hard frost will gradually lift as the day approaches lunchtime."
More rain is expected on Sunday afternoon and into Sunday evening, with up to 10milimetres of rain falling in the county and a risk of localised flooding.
As your Worcester News went to press, six flood warnings remain in place for the river Severn after peaking yesterday morning.
Warnings are in place at Pitchcroft, Diglis, Court Meadow, Kempsey and Callow End, along with East Waterside and Hanley Road in Upton-upon-Severn, and Hanley Castle and Saxons Lode which includes properties directly next to the river in Uckinghall and Rectory Road, Upton-upon-Severn.

Also in March, mystic and spiritualist medium Derek Acorah, the former star of TV show Most Haunted, brings his Eternal Spirits Tour to Colne.

Welcome to Monday's The Crap We Missed where I'll just shoot it to you guys straight. It's snowing like a motherfucker here and that puts me in a mood most foul, so instead of trying to make this post seem more interesting than a goddamn flaming-hammer-of-justice wielding ambulance chaser I'll just go ahead and lower that bar. There's Dexter spitting in the general direction of the paparazzi – SCANDAL!, David Hasselhoff driving what must be one of those french fry grease powered cars, and Woody Allen who's apparently allowed to bring his own treats into sporting events.
What? Oh, I crossed the line? My apologies, he's real stand-up dude, I shouldn't have,

Topic: Gary's cancer has spread
We got the news tonight that we had been expecting. The build up of fluid in Gary's lung is cancer, as well as the biopsy of tissue from the lung lining. We're still in disbelief over how quickly this has spread, but are OK with the news - that seems odd to say- but our faith is strong, we have been totally open and honest with each other every step of this 2 year journey, and are still enjoying each day together (tomorrow is our 5th anniversary).
We haven't had a chance to discuss this with our oncologist yet, but they had run out of options for the mets to the liver, so I can't imagine there's any treatment for this either. Gary is still in the hospital recovering from the VATS procedure to remove the fluid from his lung. Also his albumin level is 1.7, so he is badly malnourished. We're trying to build him up with as much protein as possible, but I don't know enough about that to even know if that's possible. This cancer may have won one battle, but it will never destroy our faith and positive attitudes!!

Download: Frank Ocean x André 3000 x Big Boi's 'Pink Matter' Remix
Hopefully the beginnings of an Outkast reunion.
'Pink Matter' featuring André 3000 has to be one of our favourite song's on Frank Ocean's channel ORANGE. It just got even better with a new remix provided care of Big Boi, who adds his own verses to the already great song. Even though André 3000 and Big Boi weren't physically in the recording studio together, we're just going to treat this as an unofficial Outkast reunion because we believe in The Secret (but not really).

NerdWallet: Top 10 cities on the rise
View the study.
Website ranks Gainesville as No. 1 'City on the Rise'
Published: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 5:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 23, 2013 at 9:56 a.m.
Gainesville was ranked No. 1 among Cities on the Rise in data analyzed to measure business growth by the consumer advocacy website NerdWallet.
The company measured growth from 2007 to 2012 in three categories, with Gainesville showing an 18.7 percent increase in median income, a 6.6 percent increase in working age-population and 7.4 percent growth in airport passengers.
Each category was given an equal score of 0-100 for 233 cities. Gainesville was assigned 53.9 points, followed by Fargo, N.D. (48.9), Brownsville, Texas (48.2), Bloomington, Ill. (47.6), Fayetteville, N.C. (46.8), Alexandria, Va. (46.3), Shreveport, La. (45.9), El Paso, Texas (45.8), Huntsville, Ala. (45.7) and Mobile, Ala. (45.6).
"The cities on the list are ones that people tend to underestimate," said Divya Raghavan, senior analyst for NerdWallet who conducted the study. "They can be really great for job seekers. Though initially they might think of cities like New York or San Francisco or Austin, there are plenty of smaller cities that have this growth trajectory that can make them maybe a better option."
She noted that Gainesville also has a much lower cost of living than nearby bigger cities such as Orlando.
In another list put out by online self-storage site SpareFoot on Tuesday, Gainesville was ranked the fourth fastest growing college town with overall population growth of 30.29 percent between 2000 and 2010.
The fastest growing were Raleigh, N.C. (46.29 percent), College Station, Texas (38.25 percent) and Las Cruces, N.M. (31.44 percent).

COLLINGWOOD chief executive Gary Pert says the illicit drugs debate must become an annual agenda item as football bosses prepare to deal with what shapes as one of the biggest issues facing the sport.
The AFL has yet to confirm the agenda and guest speakers for the summit featuring all club chief executives on January 30.
The Australian Drug Foundation is expected to be represented, while Geelong chief executive Brian Cook and West Coast counterpart Trevor Nisbett are also likely to speak.
AFL medical directors and AFL Players Association chief executive Matt Finnis will also provide their takes on a matter Finnis feels has been overblown.
Pert prompted the conference when he raised the contentious issue at the CEO's meeting on the Gold Coast on the eve of the national draft, and later said some players were guilty of ''volcanic behaviour'' during their off-season break.
''It didn't make sense to me to have such a serious issue and it was just never, ever talked about,'' Pert said on Tuesday. ''As a group we can share ideas, debate it, talk about it, I am not going to pretend I have all the ideas.
''I don't see this first meeting as being a big deal. I am trying to push that this should be an agenda item forever now and at all CEO meetings we should be talking about this.''
Pert has implored club bosses to put aside their usual political allegiances and deal with a topic that is regularly the subject of speculation in the industry.
''It is why I brought it up in the first place. I want the whole industry to be dealing with this as one unit,'' he said.
Pert took umbrage with Finnis in December when the players' boss wrote in a column that ''unfortunately, it seems there will always be people who want to spread misinformation about the issue and muddy the waters with sensationalised claims''.
Pert, in an email sent to CEOs and AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou, described the comments as ''inaccurate, ignorant and inflammatory''.
He said on Tuesday: ''Again, one of the things I had issues with is why do you organise a forum where we are going to get together and talk about things and Matt comes out and starts stating his case and implying that they have got the truth and nobody else does.
''Again, it's just a stupid thing to do, as I said - grandstanding.''
Players have said they are happy with the three-strikes model but remain open to change. Only six players failed illicit drugs tests in 2011.
Cook, one of the most respected figures in football, told Fairfax Media in December that it could be time for club officials to be told earlier of a positive test by a player.
As it stands, only the club doctor is informed of a positive test on the first and second strikes, with management informed only if there has been a third strike.
Players circumventing the rules by self-reporting drug use has been a concerning development for club bosses. These players avoid a positive test and aren't given a strike.
