It is hard to believe, but the Golden Goose Thrift Shop has been in business 10 years this month.
What is even more remarkable is within the next few months they will have given $5 million back to local communities in the area.
The Golden Goose supports charitable programs run by SaddleBrooke Outreach and Catalina Community Services. Some of the services these two wonderful organizations provide include supporting the Catalina and Tri-Community Food Banks and the Kids' Closet which provides clothing for school kids from Catalina to San Carlos. Other services benefit seniors, children, families and the homeless. One hundred percent of profits from the thrift shop go back into helping the community.
On April 15, 2013 the Golden Goose will begin celebrating their 10th Anniversary. Look for special sales during the week at the thrift shop and on the internet. You can bid on items on Ebay and Craigslist.
On Saturday, April 21, the Volunteer Appreciation event is held at the Golden Goose. It is an evening of dinner, dancing, and fun to show appreciation for the 400 plus volunteers that make the Goose the fabulous store that it is. The event is catered and music is provided by DJ Gus D' Oldie and Miss Gina who donate their services for the event.
"We couldn't do all this without our wonderful volunteers," said Stephanie Urdiales, Manager of the Golden Goose. The volunteers come from Oro Valley, Catalina, Sun City Vistoso and SaddleBrooke. She would also like to send out a special "thank you" to the volunteers, donors and customers.
Visit the Golden Goose Thrift Shop and you will be amazed at their inventory. It is their third year in their 13,000 square foot building. They carry everything from sporting goods, exercise equipment, furniture, books, music, electronics, cameras, antiques and collectibles, clothing, shoes, jewelry, etc. You can find almost anything you need. It is quality merchandise at a fraction of retail cost. They are now accepting and selling building materials. On their south porch they have a selection of doors, screens, ceramic tile, garden tools, cabinets and barbecue grills.
"What other store do you know that has people lined up waiting for the doors to open?" one volunteer asked. It was true. There were around 85 people lined up when this reporter arrived for his appointment. The volunteer said there are usually about 150.
The Golden Goose is located at 15970 North Oracle Road in Catalina. Hours are Tuesday – Friday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Every third Friday is Moonlight Madness from 4 to 7 p.m. Donation drop off hours are Monday – Saturday 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. New volunteer orientation is every third Monday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. To volunteer or for information about the Golden Goose call (520) 825-9101.
Congratulations on your 10th Anniversary and thank you for the all the wonderful work you do to help our communities.

Cam Charron, hockey blogger, doesn't have too many things in common with the fantastic Belarussian two-way hockey player Mikhail Grabovski. However, as it turns out, they could both use some additional support. Fortunately for Grabovski, at the time of the taping, it was announced that he had been given 3,000,000 votes of confidence by the Washington Capitals. Cam is still searching, and I hope that I can provide it.
It has been a while since we've recorded a podcast, but that's understandable given how little has been going on in the NHL. We'll be picking back up with our weekly schedule in the coming weeks as we aim to preview the upcoming season and provide some predictions. This time around, we talk about some of the more recent offseason moves, and look at the Restricted Free Agent still left without new contracts.

Attractive Woman Explains What It's Like To Have Two Vaginas [VIDEO]
The vagina is a strange and wondrous region for any man to navigate under normal circumstances. Imagine Hazel Jones' first serious boyfriend's surprise when he discovered that she had two vaginas.
This was news to then 18-year-old Jones, who had no idea she suffered from uterus didelphys, a one-in-a-million condition that gives a woman two wombs and two cervixes.
Sexual activity had been uncomfortable for Jones, now 27, before the diagnosis. But she made the proper adjustments, and is now able to enjoy a "great sex life." And, yes, she got to lose her virginity twice.
In the clip below from ITV's 'This Morning," the attractive blond talks about her unique lady area. Unfortunately the interview was heavy on details of her period, and light on discussion of the whole double virginity thing. We're sure the whole situation will be a parody porn some day.
'Two and a Half Wombs.' Possibly the 'Two Broke Wombs.'

Representatives from the city's Parks and Recreation Department have tabled an informal proposal for a treetop-adventure, ropes-course park to be developed within a five acre section of the 1,800 acre Wissahickon Park near Henry and Wigard avenues in Roxborough, according to a department spokesperson.
The park that would have created a two- to three-hour up-in-the-trees experience, consisting of rope ladders, rope bridges, trapezes, and a small zip-line, aroused local opposition when word of the idea first reached the public this winter.
Two local groups, including the Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW), the group responsible for preserving the integrity of the park, formally announced opposition this spring.
"We felt and still feel it's a good concept," said Patrick Morgan, a Parks and Recreation Department spokesperson. "But we also recognize there is differences in public opinion. That kind of divide runs counter to what we are trying to do as a department."
Neighbors of the proposed location mobilized quickly and formed an organization called Alliance for the Preservation of the Park (APOW).
APOW emerged in April and announced in May it had collected more than 1,450 signatures, including more than 250 collected online, in a formal petition opposed to the creation of the park. Councilman Curtis Jones, who represents constituents who live in the area where the park would have been constructed, signed the petition May 7.
The group adopted the motto "zap the zip" and claimed the development of a park would detract from the natural beauty and create adverse effects on its natural habitat.
Although the Parks and Recreation Department said it is not moving forward, APOW is not celebrating victory. Its members suggested that the city could easily reintroduce the proposal and push forward with the plan.
"The May 2, 2013, statement from Philadelphia Parks and Recreation (PPR) regarding the zip-line tree-top adventure is inconclusive," the group wrote in a statement to the Local. "There has not been any clarification of this statement from PPR. Neither have any officials been able to explain it to the Alliance for Preservation of the Wissahickon."
In February, Friends of Wissahickon (FOW) initially stated that if park development met 12 guidelines listed by FOW, then it was possible FOW would offer its support, according to FOW executive director Maura McCarthy.
When it became clear that public opinion, one of the key things required for FOW to offer its support, opposed the park, FOW board members offered a formal statement May 1 opposing development of the park.
"After lengthy deliberations the FOW has decided not to support a proposed Tree Top Adventure concession in the Wissahickon," the statement said. "As with many issues affecting the park, FOW has followed a process that involved careful research, varied community input and assessment of the project in light of FOW's mission."
"While the environmental impact of the treetop park's installation would be 'relatively negligible,' to introduce a new [park] use you have to have a whole lot of community support," said McCarthy.
And that it does not have. She said the city's proposal met eight of the 12 FOW requirements. FOW recommendations included a contract to ensure no new buildings would be installed in the park and existing buildings should be renovated and re-purposed. FOW also sought to make sure the park would not intersect with the Wissahickon Trail system or be visible from the trail system during summer leaf-out.
FOW members were first approached by PPR representatives last summer seeking input about the proposal for a facility to be operated by GoApe Inc. That spurred an FOW fact finding trip to a similar course run by GoApe called Rockcreek Preserve in Rockville, Md,, which included interviews with the executive director of Rock Creek Conservancy and GoApe operators.
In February, the FOW board of directors issued a statement reviewing its trip. It explained the FOW attendees found little to no environmental impact on the site, regular invasive species removal on the ground's facility, and an established willingness on the part of GoApe operators to work with community groups on promoting environmental values.
McCarthy explained that some of FOW's reasoning was based on anecdotal as opposed to scientific evidence. She said Philadelphia's importance for migratory birds might be marginalized as a result of the park. Alhough, she added, a local birdwatcher's Audubon club in Maryland. claimed that its members actually used the treetop park and noticed no change in the migratory bird presence.
According to Morgan, a zip-line was a small part of the course constructed at the end as part of the exit from the course.
"The encroachment of city life is everywhere but here," APOW's petition stated. "We'd like to keep it this way. What we don't want is more noise and traffic. More parking lots and sanitation facilities. More disturbance and destruction of public land."
In its online blog on April 20, APOW board member Denise Cotter asked, "Should a valuable Philadelphia asset, Wissahickon Park, be offered to commercial developers for a zip-line treetop amusement concession"?
Other questions posed by Cotter in that same blog piece included, "How does a zip-line exist in a dense forest without any disturbance to the wildlife and environment"? "Since when do we sell our assets of national landscape to commercial developers for amusement"? and "Where is the money going"?
GoApe is an award-winning, London-based company founded in 2001 that operates 28 treetop adventure courses in England, Scotland and Wales and five U.S. states. In 2003 the company received a Best Tourist Attraction Award. Its Virginia facility was voted "#1 outdoor adventure in Eastern Virginia," by Virginia Living Magazine.

Comexus needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 63 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
We need a new logo: fresh, colourful, vital, clean and friendly, with a very small 2.0 flavour.
The new logo and image doesn't need to be necessarily the same than the ones in the current website. Creative freedom.
The mission of the portal is to offer quality, direct, clear an truthful travel guides written by conventional travelers like any of us, who are good writers. Visitors can add additional content to the guides through comments, but the idea is not to create a social network travel site. The idea is giving clear content to the traveler while he is planning its trip and also allow him to obtain an independent opinion from a person who has also visited that destination.
It also provides hotel bookings, hostels, flights, cars and other services and travel-related deals.
- Tagline: written by travelers like you.
- Desired Color Scheme: We do not have a preference in particular. We don't want too serious or formal schemes, avoiding lack of life colours.
- Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps or .ai)
- Avoid childlike or too funny designs.
- Too serious or too formal designs. It's a travel guide website.

|Carnitine study for neuropathy
Aug 6, 2004
Hi dr. Henry.
Did you read this study? Have you ever used this?
"Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALCAR) stimulated nerve regeneration in HIV-infected people with peripheral neuropathy and relieved neuropathic pain in most of them.
Hypothesizing that restoring depleted ALCAR levels would promote nerve growth and ease the burning pain of neuropathy, London clinicians gave 1500 mg of ALCAR twice daily to 21 people with established antiretroviral-induced neuropathy for up to 33 months. Skin biopsies from the leg before and at 6- to 12-month intervals after beginning ALCAR therapy documented significant growth of small sensory fibers in the epidermis, dermis, and sweat glands. Compared with biopsies in untreated volunteers without neuropathy, the nerve supply reached 92%, 80%, and 69% in epidermis, dermis, and sweat glands after 6 months in treated individuals. Nerve proliferation continued for 24 months. Neuropathic grade improved in 76% of the treated people and remained unchanged in 19%.
The authors propose that ALCAR may be a pathogenesis-based treatment for distal peripheral neuropathy.

Response from Dr. Henry
Yes I have read that paper with interest. The ACTG is conducting a study using ALCAR starting at 1000 mg and then dosing upwards to evaluate its effect on the symptoms of neuropathy as well as the nerve fiber density evaluations used by the group in Londoon-very interesting and hopeful. The ACTG is also soon opening a study using prosaptide O for treatment of neuropathy and a study using a high dose of topical potent capsaicin is open and enrolling patients so there is hope on the important problem of neuropathy.

Hey all, in my pursuit to keep us sane, I found the newest Rock Star Poster. It's legit, found it on the Apple trailer page. I like it. I've attached it but if it doesn't show, ya'll can run over to my site and take a look. And no I can't make it bigger, that's what I found.
And the Soundtrack is set for Sept. 4 according to thevervepipe.com (they say it's a Friday, but albums come out on tuesdays)

Added the link to a bigger scan of the poster on my site. Still a bit fuzzy on the credits on the bottom, but now you can read the taglines.
Applepie, I know it's weird how long it's taking, but Mark S. said WB is trying to get part of the falloff of POTA, hoping people will agree with us that they should check out Mark's other movies.
BTW, do you think Mark will stop over at Cannes this year or do you think they'll be too busy?

Lianne -
Why are you not the Webmaster of this site? You have all the news. You have the the links. You have all the photographs. I rely on YOU for what I should rely on Mark's site for.
Why is there no new on Mark's site? Why does E-factor just respond as a friend to postings - agreeing with member's opinions regarding Mark's looks, etc.
Where is the fan club? Lianne - I have no computer abilities; or rather, no web-page-making abilities.
Why don't you petition for contro. I would supprt you, and I am sure others would, too. You really kept the group alive while the page was down. One would think that a real club, handled by "the Leverage Group" or whatever that takes our money could handle a transition from one provider to another.
With you in charge, we would have News, we would have Interviews, we would have the latest Photographs, we would have Links to the latest sites - official and non-official. We wuld have what was promised us, but what we have not yet received almost a year later.
And hey, you might get closer to Mark.
Lianne for Webmaster!

Well, I don't see why Mark wouldn't drop by the Festival, especially since I heard they were shooting near Cannes last week...
However, the Festival might not necessarily be the kind of environment he'd be confortable in (remember the November charity event last year?) But who knows?! (Oops, maybe I should've posted this under CHARLIE!)

Well I'm very flattered by the praise. I wouldn't mind the job, but keep in mind with the webmaster thing, I don't really have the adequate skills for it. The site has Flash, forms, CGI and CSS (different HTML/computer programming) which I have a a slight to no grasp of.
As for why there isn't anything new, if you remember, this site has been in transition. First it was Mark S. running it, then the powers that be decided to switch. Then they found out the other guys weren't doing anything and they switched back. Then they decided to go with Celebsites, but since they also took to long, we're back to Mark S. I think it would of been alot easier if TPTB had left well enough alone instead of constantly switching webmasters.
Also take into consideration, I'm in school, while Mark S. has his own career and does this site on his time off. School's pretty tough (well not really for me anyway), but a full time job can be a real pain in the butt when you're working long hours everyday. I remember those days and I would just come home and just veg cause I was so tired.
And there's a little thing called Copyright. I don't make money off my site, so I can probably get away with putting stuff on it. This site however is suppose to be making some money, so they have to call and pay for the stuff or get sued.
Hope I explained it alright.

Hmmm, looks like I'm going have to check the Cannes coverage. Better brush up on my French.
Don't worry about this not being in Charlie, since I did ask. To kinda make it relate to the topic. Too bad Rock Star didn't get into the festival, it would of been interesting to see how it plays in France.

I'd actually like to make Lianne a member of the staff, but of course I'd need to ask her permission first. I can keep things going on in the background, but there are times when I am shipped off out of state at a client site at a moment's notice and can't give as much attention as I'd like. I can say, however, that I've had time to build the beta version of the fanclub section. I'm manually adding the usernames and passwords for all the people who have been members this past year (this part isn't particularly fun). I promise to have something done VERY soon -- it's getting too close to the 60 day countdown as we approach the release of Planet of the Apes. I'd like to have the spring cleaning done by then and all sections activated.
Email me at
if you notice anything broken about the site. All help is appreciated.

I haven't been on this site as much as I would have liked the in the past few weeks... but I've just come across this very interesting post. I think Heather, Lianne and Mark S explained themselves very well.
I really hope Lianne has 'asked permission' by now from Mark S as everyone knows she is the research guru and backbone to a lot of news substance on this site!!!! Mark of course is doing an admirable job is keeping this going in between his other commitments. "All hail to Mark and Lianne!" - would hate either of you to disappear.
I am voting and asking for Lianne to be involved more heavily in the MW site if that is her wish!

yes I totally agree that Lianne should be "promoted" to "info mistress" with some administrative input into this site. She is articulate, professional, and would only increase the value of this official website.

Ray R. Harris needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 111 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
This design needs to be 7.5 x 10 in size at 300 dpi. We will use it for the front side of a postcard mailing to people needing hope during times of crisis. Our church will be doing a 4 week teaching series on the topics of "I need a bailout in my finances, my family, my faith, and my fears." Each week will focus on one of these topics but the overall theme is "Bailout". The design will be used in powerpoint files, website imagery, as well as the postcard mailout.
Initial entries are of very depressed people. I want a lighter, less depressed feel. Kind of humorous if possible.
I think a picture of someone that is asking the question, "Where's MY Bailout?" and pulling out his pockets or empty wallet or looking quizzical is better than all the depressed images.
The imagery should connect with the general feel of the population who are joking around about "Where's MY bailout?" I should start a bank, auto company, and financial group and lead it into bankruptcy so the government will give me money!"
That's the feel.
UPDATE: Sorry I could not give feedback to many, many good designs. Please focus on the images that I have not eliminated. They tell a story with a humorous side. And that's what I am looking for as this contest comes to a close.
The Pointe Church is a interdenominational church that helps people find and follow Jesus. We meet in a movie theatre and are one of the fastest growing churches in the midwest. We are a visual church with an average age of 28 and about 60% men. Young, energetic, and fun would be three words that describe us. We do not want any "typical" churchy stuff on the card - no crosses, doves, or pastels. The card should resonate with a 28 year old guy who is stuck in life and cannot figure out how to move forward - and perhaps - who wonders why others are getting bailed out when he is stuck.
- Item 1..."Headline to be "Where's MY Bailout?"
- Item 2..."Subhead to be "How to Get Out When You're In Deep"
- Item 3..."Small 1" square space for our church logo - use a placeholder and we will put the logo in place after the design is done.
- Photo or Illustration should present the problem - not the solution.
- Feel free to grunge it, run graphics thru the photo, or allow the photo to speak for itself. Your choice.
- Item 1...Think about your parent's church and don't do anything they would like.
- Item 2...Think about the cheesy church stuff you've seen and avoid it like the plague.
- Item 3...Think about pretty and don't do it.
- Item 4...No depressing stuff.

The rivers and streams are full and flowing, the Wood river, Trail Creek, Warm springs and the Salmon river to name a few. The lakes at elevations of 7000 ft. plus are pristine and energizing with profound life force. Cold plunges for me are two times a day. Whether just waking up, or just after hiking, biking, running, climbing or training. The ice-cold rivers, and lakes are great for recovery and healing. It's a big part of the fountain of youth, staying young healthy and strong. I am happy to say that I am a big time water guy! I am very conscious of drinking water all day. I start out every morning with one liter of water before ingesting anything else. 16 ounces alone, then 16 ounces with added minerals. I do this then wait 45 minutes before eating or drinking anything else. I average between 4 to 6 liters a day. Drinking this much water when waking up is considered water therapy. This water therapy helps relieve many ailments like headaches, high blood pressure and diseases of the eyes, ears, nose and throat. Drinking this much water upon waking will help you feel energized and improve your entire body function. Your body holds different amounts of water in different parts. Water constantly moves through your cells. Somewhere between 4 to 10 percent of your water gets replaced with fresh water everyday! Our blood is made of approximately 93% water and your muscles are about 73%. Even our body fat is about 10% water. Drinking the right amount of water for you and your lifestyle is important for good health. I am a 10% plus water replacement guy, because of the active lifestyle I live. I jump in it, swim in it, paddle and surf in it. I carry fresh water with me whenever possible which is just 99.9% of the time. Did you know your body produces 8 to 16 oz. of water per day on average? During a marathon your muscles can produce that much water in 2 or 3 hours. This helps your body protect against dehydration. When you sweat you lose hydration from inside and out. To measure the water you lose when you sweat, weigh yourself before and after one hour of hard exercise with no fluid intake. The change in body weight reflects sweat loss. Roughly a one-pound drop in weight equals to the loss of 16 oz. of sweat. A two-pound drop equal to 32 oz. of sweat. That is why I am hydrating before, during, and after training. SHE SAID: MARIEL I am sitting on a plane and I am thirsty. This is not a good sign, because now that I am thirsty I am already beyond dehydrated. The actual feeling of thirst comes long after my body has needed water to function best. SO, I've got to get a glass of water pronto. Water is key to our survival… our precious existence. We are made up of at least 70% water so the incredible relationship we have with it is crucial to our well-being. Obesity, general tiredness, headaches, hunger, cloudy thinking, poor skin quality, achy body and a myriad of other serious and seemingly not so serious ailments are due to our lack of hydration. Most people in this country do not realize that when they feel hungry that a glass or two of water is often the solution. A need for water will sometimes be masked as the feeling of hunger. The obesity problem in America is in line with our population's lack of water consumption too. Since the 60's and the boom of soft drinks and other packaged beverages, obesity has risen steadily. (There are many reasons for that. Carbonated beverages make a person hold weight, the use of high fructose corn syrup in them is a source of weight gain, synthetic sweeteners and sugar are also contributors to poor health and being overweight). People often choose every other liquid besides water when they are thirsty. So many people don't like to drink water because they say it lacks flavor, or feel that it's boring. Personally I love water and I love the way GOOD (filtered or pure spring water) water tastes. I feel like it is the only thing that can truly quench my thirst. I know that when I hydrate, especially when I am active that I am helping my body to be in balance and strong. It is not a mistake that all athletes have water with them all the time. Water and physical (even mental) activity work together. Calculate the amount of water you should drink based on your weight. Take that number and divide it by 2 plus at least 20 to 30 ounces more, depending on your physical activity. I am 135 lbs. and drink 90 ounces of water a day at least. When I travel I often drink 100 ounces and go to the restroom a lot (isle seat recommended). Drink good water. Install a home filter system (or at least a filter for your kitchen sink and your shower and tub). The water that hits your body should be as clean and pure as what goes inside it. Make drinking water a morning ritual. We all wake up slightly dehydrated. Drinking water is the best thing we can do when we wake up. Water is beautiful inside and out. Know it and see it in your mind's eye. Watch water help improve your mental well being as well as your physical. If you don't like the taste of water drink it anyway and you will grow to love it. Staying hydrated everyday. Water boosts your energy and by staying hydrated it allows you to be more productive in life, perform better at work, train harder and longer during activities. Think green! Stop using plastic. Only 20% of our 95 million plastic water bottles are being recycled. Get a water bottle you love. We have both glass bottles and stainless steel bottles we carry with us. If you have a bottle you love, you will more likely to remember to carry it with you.

Immunizations remain a crucial tool for safeguarding kids against many serious and potentially deadly diseases throughout their childhood — and later. At Nemours, our commitment to preventing childhood illnesses is demonstrated by our long-standing efforts to give routine immunizations to as many children as we can. We want to ensure the health of not just our own young patients, but also the public's well-being.
Nemours is going above and beyond when it comes to childhood vaccinations in Primary Care. Based on an annual report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), 68% of 19- to 35-month-old children nationwide were up to date with their recommended routine immunizations. At Nemours, our immunization rates are much higher than that — almost 85% of our Primary Care patients of the same age range were up to date with their vaccines by the third quarter of 2009. And our numbers of vaccinated kids continue to rise.
Before the start of widespread vaccinations in the United States, many children lost their lives to diseases that immunizations now prevent, such as whooping cough, measles, and polio. At all of our Nemours Primary Care locations, we make routine immunizations a top priority in order to keep serious, often highly contagious illnesses from affecting children at all ages and stages, from infancy through adolescence.

LIVINGSTON, Ala. - The Georgia Southwestern baseball team was held to two runs and eight hits over the first two games of a weekend series at the University of West Alabama. GSW lost 6-2 on Friday evening and suffered a 6-0 setback on Saturday at Tartt Field.
Following Saturday's defeat GSW's record fell to 2-3 while West Alabama improved to 5-1.
The three-game series comes to a close on Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Tigers broke open a 1-1 game by scoring four runs in the fourth inning.
Josh Sanders had tied the contest at 1-1 in the top half of the inning when he led off the frame for GSW with a single, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Les Cromer and eventually scored on a UWA throwing error.
The Tigers added another run in the seventh to make it a 6-1 game and GSW rounded out the scoring in the ninth when Neal Chambless singled to right field to score Cromer.
Lance Shelton (1-1) took the loss for the Hurrianes after pitching four innings and allowing four earned runs on nine hits. He walked three and struck out three. Justin Barnes held UWA to one run over three innings of relief and Myles Gay tossed a scoreless eighth.
UWA starter Taylor Bratton threw six innings of one-hit, one-run ball. The Tigers used three relief pitchers to cover the final three frames.
The Tigers' Trey Williamon led all batters with a 3-for-4 performance. UWA had four additional players finish with two hits apiece.
The Hurricanes were shut out for the first time this season.
Josh Sanders and Stephen Eldridge collected two of GSW's five hits in the game in the first inning.
West Alabama scored, what would prove to be the game-winning run, in the third inning aided by a throwing error and a wild pitch. The Tigers added a run in the fourth and four more in the seventh.
Eldridge was the only GSW batter to finish with multiple hits (2) in the game.
Jocobby Robinson led UWA with a 3-for-4 afternoon at the plate. Tyler Richburg, Tanner Rainey and Jack Cockrum finished with two hits apiece.
Zac Whittmus (0-1) started on the mound for the Hurricanes. Whittmus pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowed five runs and nine hits while striking out three. Dylan Brown and Earl Dupree covered the final 1 2/3 innings for GSW.
Starter Zach Parks (1-1) threw seven scoreless innings for the Tigers. Caleb Derouen and Rainey closed out the contest for UWA.

Corn: Bullish news: Corn has started the battle for acres next season. The opponents are soybeans and cotton. Corn will need increased acres and increased yields to rebuild tight supply.
Higher ethanol blends are expected to be enacted by congress. Ethanol production is on target to use those 4.7 billion bushels of corn projected by USDA.
Bearish news: Harvest progress in corn is picking up speed and is now 18 percent complete. Harvest pressure is expected. Corn condition ratings remain 10 percent above normal.
Trader profit taking potential is high because they hold a large open interest of buy contracts. Higher prices could limit exports. Corn export sales were well below market anticipations at 562,000 tons. Ethanol followed corn prices lower.
Soybeans: Bullish news:Soybean prices 3 percent higher in China after palm oil prices climbed 3 percent. South America is too dry to plant soybeans. The freeze in Canada damaged the canola crop limiting vegetable oil supplies. Late planted Chinese soybeans are vulnerable to frost.
Chinese soy oil imports are up 20 percent. Export inspections were only 12 million bushels and below expectations.
Open interest in the soybean market exceeds 141,000 buy contracts. The record open interest for buy contracts in the soybean market is 156,000 buy contracts. Soybeans are not acre competitive with corn and cotton.
Bearish news: The soy-diesel tax credit was rejected by congress; however, demand from other nations is increasing rapidly. If we do not burn our soy-diesel, somebody else will.
Soybeans are overbought and harvest pressure has just begun. Palm oil prices have weakened and soybean crush this week was down to 128 million bushels.
Chinese soybean imports were down 3.5 percent for August but that month remains the fourth largest month of Chinese imports on record. U.S. soybean exports were down to 558,000 tons as anticipated.
Wheat: Bearish news:Wheat harvest is 87 percent complete and putting pressure on prices. Traders hold a large number of buy contracts in open interest. Profit taking potential is high.
Bullish news:Canadian wheat quality has declined after the freeze. Approximately two-thirds of Canadian wheat has been affected by cold weather. European feed wheat prices have increased. China imported 90,000 tons of wheat in August. India will not lift the export ban on wheat as most Eurasian nations are increasing strategic reserves.
Russia's export ban continues. Ukraine is considering an export ban on wheat. Russian wheat supply is down 8 million tons. Russia's planting progress for winter wheat is only 29 percent of average. U.S. weekly export sales were above expectations at 950,000 tons.
Rice: Bearish news:Large rice supplies in the United States could limit upside price potential. Weekly export sales less than 50,000 tons were perceived as low but that is above average for this time of year. Most of the rice was sold to Latin America as usual. Asian business has not picked up yet. Some Vietnam rice is selling under the minimum allowed by their government.
Harvest in our area is 75 percent complete. Expect harvest pressure to reduce prices only if corn and wheat prices drop. All of these markets are oversold and subject to trader profit taking. Trader open interest in rice markets is high over 18,000 buy contracts.
Bullish news:The rice uptrend remains intact. As wheat follows corn higher it leads rice up also. U.S. milled rice is underselling Asian rice from our two main competitors, Vietnam and Thailand. Latin American imports remain strong. Lower prices could attract Asian customers.
Rice market prices came within a dime of their yearly high this week. Higher grain prices are supporting higher rice prices.
Cotton: Bullish news:U.S. cotton supplies are on target to reach historic low levels. The record high price of $1.17 is in jeopardy. One dollar resistance in the cotton markets was broken this week. Farmers are selling cotton at prices in excess of 90 cents. Farmers are more presold than normal as prices passed a 15 year high.
Fabric demand in Asia is increasing. Asian economies are recovering rapidly despite the sluggish U.S. economy. Chinese imports are up 119 percent. Brazil dropped their import tariff on 1.1 million bales of U.S. cotton. Export sales exceed expectations near 547,000 bales.
Next year's cotton crop could be smaller. Corn and Soybean prices are very competitive for acres. The market fears reduced supply. Cotton prices must increase to attract more acres.
Bearish news:Profit taking has commenced as the month and the quarter come to an end. Trader open interest is above 73,500 buy contracts is near a record and subject to profit taking
Harvest is 13 percent complete and 67 percent of cotton bolls are open.

(Andrey Osadchenko recently caught up with Brent Sopel. Here he talks to him about growing up on the prairies, playing for the Canucks winning the cup and signing in the KHL).
By: Andrey Osadchenko
– You were born in Calgary. What was it like growing up out there?
I was born in Calgary, indeed. But I lived there only for a couple years and moved to the prairies – to Saskatoon. That's where I learned that I wanted to play hockey.
– Would you say you were a Flames fan growing up?
I was a Montreal Canadiens fan. But at the same time I wouldn't say I was a fan of one team. I just wanted to see the guys who played in the NHL because it was my dream. So whenever I was in Calgary or any other city I would go to as many games as I could. I enjoyed a number of guys play. So if I could see one of them play, I would go and watch him play. Didn't matter who it was or what team he played for. I was just excited to be a part of it.
– So the famous Battle of Alberta didn't really touch you?
Growing up a saw quite a few Battle of Alberta games. It's Saturday night hockey, you know. It's a great rivalry. It's great for Alberta fans. It's great for hockey in general to have this kind of rivalries.
– Who was your favourite player growing up?
I can't say I had one. I sort of like them all and wanted to be any one of those. Who didn't want to be Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux? Who didn't want to be the best players of all time? The list goes on and on and on.
– How hard was it for you to move to Saskatchewan to play for the Blades and the Broncos?
I moved at a young age. So it wasn't really a big deal. Calgary is a great city. But I really loved Saskatoon too. I had a great time there – no complaints, no regrets. It was a lot of fun growing up there.
– Did you notice a lot of differences between Saskatchewan and Alberta?
There are a lot of differences. Saskatchewan is flat and Calgary is not (laughter). It's just 2 different cities. Calgary is a lot bigger. A lot of people move from Saskatchewan to bigger cities in Alberta, like Calgary and Edmonton. They want to get away from the prairies to where there are more jobs. Obviously, the oil-boom was coming along at that time so Calgary was becoming a really big city. It's great to see that.
– Why did you move from Saskatoon to Swift Current?
When I got traded I was a little shocked. I grew used to call Saskatoon my hometown but at the same time I was pretty excited. Swift Current is a small town. Hockey was thing #1 over there since there wasn't a lot going on. I really enjoyed my time in Swift Current. The town has great fans, they really care about hockey. I was there for no more than 3 years, but I wouldn't say I didn't have a great time there, no. I had a great time! Todd McLellan was a coach there back then. He really helped me to develop into a player that I am today.
– Did you feel a little bit like a star playing for the Broncos?
When I played in Swift Current there were only a couple of guys who went to play in the NHL – Brad Larsen and Craig Millar. I don't know if anybody saw me as an upcoming star. I just went about my business. It's a big difference between playing junior hockey and playing in the NHL. Some of the guys were stars in juniors but never got a chance to play in the NHL. It's a big jump. Luckily, I found a way. I worked hard and that's where it's gotten me today.
– It's a cliché that the toughest Canadian defensemen come from out West. What do you think about that?
I grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan. It's a hard life. You've got to find a way to survive every single day. And that's, I guess, what we do on the ice. It's a different life growing up at the West than it is growing up at the East. There you grow up between the cities that are close to each other, and out West you can grow up on a farm in the middle prairies.
– Did you have to work at the farm?
Yes. I spent a lot of time in a city but I hung out with guys who had a farm. We were out there every weekend and I also was there all summer long. We worked on tractors, picking rocks and everything else you have to do on a farm.
– Didn't it piss you off? I mean, you were about to become a pro hockey player and yet you had to work at a farm…
You know, there are some things that need to be done. You've got to work. Plus, hard work gets you everything you need and everything you want. If you don't want it, you're not going to get it. I'm never shining away from hard work whenever I have it. If it needs to get done, I'm getting it done. I loved everything about farm. There was nothing I didn't. I loved being on tractors or with a cow herd. I loved everything about it.
– You played for 4 seasons in the WHL. Lots of guys who play in the NHL didn't do that. Why did you stick around for so long?
I didn't play much with the guys of my own age. I started young. It all worked out well. I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. I enjoyed all of it. I had some extra time there and after I played a few years in the minors. I think it helped me to develop my game. Sometimes it takes some players a little bit longer to develop. I guess I'm one of those. At the end of a day, I guess, I can compare myself with a fine wine that gets better with age.
– Being drafted by the Canucks was a good thing for you or not? I mean, the Canucks weren't exactly your team.
I didn't care what team it was. The fact that I got an opportunity to play in the NHL was terrific itself. The Canucks were a Canadian team. They played not too far from where I grew up and I had a lot of relatives living in Vancouver. So as a kid I spent a lot of time in Vancouver going there on vacations. I had no complains about that. On the contrary, I was ecstatic they took a shot at me and gave me an opportunity to start my career. They helped me to move on to be a player I am today.
– Some people say that Vancouver is the most beautiful Canadian city. Would you agree with that?
I don't know if it's the most beautiful city, but there are not too many cities where you go from being at the ocean to skiing. It helps that there's not always snow outside. So you can always be outside running or riding your bike. It's not like in Saskatchewan or Alberta where you always have to deal with snow. I think you can do a lot more in Vancouver outdoors because of that aspect.
– You debuted in the NHL in 1998-99 but really earned your spot there only in 1999-00.
Obviously, it took me a little bit longer to develop. But also back then the Canucks were a veteran team. So I was just biding my time in the minors. Then opportunity introduced itself and I got my shot. I tried to make the most of it. I worked really hard and in the next season I finally stuck around and made my mark in the NHL.
– Generally the AHL is seen as a grinding league. What's your take on that?
I loved the AHL. It was a great time. We were a bunch of young kids trying to make their mark in pro hockey. We spent a lot of time on a bus but that was no different to what I was doing in the WHL. I was used to it. It was my first experience living in my own apartment. It helped me to become a person that I am today. I loved every second in the AHL.
– Speaking of long traveling, how much time did you spend on a bus playing in the WHL?
The season was 72 games long so we had our fair share of bus rides. Some were short like Moose Jaw and Regina. The others were longer like Seattle, for instance. It would take us about 20 hours to get there or something like that. We spent a lot of time on a bus. We had some great time together playing practical jokes on each other.
– You had a breakthrough season in 2003-04. You picked 10 goals and 42 points that season. Why did that happen?
With every year in the NHL I was trusted with more ice-time and had more opportunities to improve my points. And why not? I mean, we had some pretty good teams in Vancouver. Of course, we fell short in the play-offs, but I think we still had Stanley Cup calibre teams. We just didn't get it done when it came to the play-offs. Marc Crawford was the coach at that time. He showed me what a player I could be and my points and ice-time were getting up. I tried to take advantage of it.
– After the lockout you were traded to the Isles, Kings and then back to the Canucks. What was that all about?
During the lockout the salary cap came in to be and there were only 2 of us who weren't under contract with the Canucks – me and Marek Malik. So they had to deal both of us since they were up against salary cap. It was a new rule for everybody, nobody was used to it. I don't complain. I had a great time and tried to do whatever I could on the ice. I always gave 110%. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
– They say that now there's a huge rivalry between the Canucks and the Blackhawks. Is it really so?
Oh yeah. There's a huge rivalry. Bad blood, for sure. We played a lot of play-off games against each other. And those games became heat. Now both teams look up at the calendar to see when they play each other. Because they know it's going to be a battle.
– You won the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 2010. Would you say that was the biggest moment in your career?
For sure. What player isn't dreaming of winning the Stanley Cup? That's your whole goal. There are so many great players that have never won it. But I can say: 'Hey! Listen, I've won the Stanley Cup. Nobody can take that away from me'.
– Did it take a long time to realize that Kane's shot went in? I mean, that was a pretty weird angle.
Nobody knew what exactly was going on. We saw him jumping around. He had to know – he was right there. So we started partying. We knew if he knew that it was good. That was definitely the most unique game-winning goal.
– One hears a lot of crazy stories about Stanley Cup celebrations. What's yours?
I had a great time. My kids always wanted to eat cereal out of it. We had a family meeting, decided on a cereal and then ate it out of the Stanley Cup. I also had a dream to ride my tractor with a Stanley Cup. In my younger days I used to have a tractor at my farm. My father helped me to restore it. So I fired my tractor up, put the cup on it and went around the farm.
– It looks a little bizarre that you signed in Russia. How did that happen?
My agent was at a meeting in Chicago and he talked to a couple of teams out there. Then he called me and said: "Hey! We've got an offer!". Then he explained the situation to me. I thought it would be a great opportunity.
– Your wife wrote on twitter she was disappointed with that deal.
She was happy. Obviously, that sad part is we're going to part for a while. But she's never been to Europe so she would like to use this opportunity to go there and see the other part of the world. She's going to come out and visit me after I have spent some time with my new team and saw what's going on. Both of us are going to use this opportunity to see the part of the world we've never seen before, embrace the culture, learn the language a little bit and have fun. Hopefully, the team is going to be successful enough to make it to the play-offs and we'll have some fun there.
– Overall what do you know about Russia?
Not too much. I played with a few Russian players. We had many conversations about Russia, what goes on in the hockey world and so on. I'm going there with an open mind. I'm excited to see the country and explore different cities – like Moscow and St.-Petersburg. I heard they were 2 beautiful cities. I'll learn the culture day-by-day.
– Fair enough. Although, your team is based in Siberia. Aren't you scared a little bit?
I grew up in Saskatchewan and a lot of my friends say that it's pretty much like Siberia. At least, it's pretty much the same in the winter-time. So I'll be used to it. It's going to be an experience for me. I can say: 'You know what? I have a chance to play in Siberia'. I mean, how many people can say that in Canada or America? It's all going to be new to me. But I'm going to try to embrace it and have fun over there.
– According to stereotype, they drink a lot of vodka in Siberia.
(laughter) I heard the stories that they enjoy their vodka. I'll see for myself if it's true when I get there.
– What do you think you can bring into your new team?
I'll just try to bring in my experience. We have a lot of young guys. Hockey is going to be a little different over there, obviously, because of the ice surface. I'll try to bring in my work-ethic and teach the guys things that I've known for years now. I just want to go there and lead by example. I want to teach young guys some things they don't know. Hopefully, it's going to work out.
– What do you know about this team?
Obviously, last year wasn't really a good year for the team – they were last in the league. They made some changes, signed some new guys and want to make the play-offs this season. And that's going to be our goal this season. The town loves its hockey. I hope I can help them.
– Your former Russian teammate, Alex Burmistrov, recently said that you had a very unique pre-game routine.
There are a few things that I always like to do. I like to visualize certain plays and do it on a certain time on the clock. It's just a few things I've been doing for so many years. It helps, it makes me successful. It may be a little different from what the most people do, but it works for me.
– Can you say anything in Russian yet?
Not yet. I haven't had a chance to sit down and learn any of it but my oldest son has been taking some Russian classes. So he can speak the language a little bit. I'm going to sit down with him soon and do a crash-test. Hopefully, in a few days I'll be able to say something in Russian.
– Are you aware of the fact that in Russian your last name sounds a lot like 'snot'?
(laughter) A lot of my Russian teammates have told me that over the years. I'm not really sure how to change my last name, you know.
– It puzzles me. Why did you sign a 2-year deal?
Why not? It's an honour they gave me an opportunity to go there. I want to see the whole picture, not just the shallow picture. I want to go there, learn the culture and the language a little bit, have some fun, see the part of the world I've never been to and have an opportunity to show it to my kids. That's how I look at it.
– You played just under 700 games in the NHL. Did you have any other offers from the NHL teams?
I have talked to some teams. And then this opportunity came up. I talked to my wife and we agreed to that offer. I mean, I played almost 700 games in the NHL, won the Stanley Cup… I'm one of the few people that can say that. Maybe one of these days I'll come back. Maybe not. Who knows? That was a great opportunity so I decided to take advantage of it.
– Do you think you would have to alter your game somehow in Russia?
I think it's going to be a little different from the NHL game just because of the ice-surface. I'll found out more how when I get over there. We'll see how it's going to work. Can't really say anything about it now. I haven't really talked to anybody from the team, but it's going to be a little bit different from the NHL, for sure.
– In the KHL they say that they're about to be on the same level as the NHL. Do you think it's ever going to happen?
You never know. Never say never. The NHL has been around for so many years. They try to make the KHL as good as the NHL and I think they've done a great job. That's why so many guys go to play over there. I guess time will tell.

Ne-Yo Disses Lady Gaga, Then Retracts It
Ne-Yo, the R&B star who is also the Senior VP of A+R at Motown, slammed Lady Gaga, saying she may be ridiculously talented but she won't stand the test of time. He explained that he feels that the iconic, transcendent pop star is a thing of the past. He then backpedaled via Twitter, of course.
In a chat with The Daily Star (quotes via MTV U.K.), he posed the question: "Who was the last real icon to come out of the music industry? Everybody thought it was going to be Lady Gaga, but where is she right now, what's going on with her?"
Well, Ne-Yo, let PopCrush fill you in. Ma Monster is currently on her sold out Born This Way Ball tour. She just released a gazillion-selling fragrance and is hard at work on her upcoming album 'ARTPOP.' She has launched her own social media site especially for her fans and just notched her 30 millionth Twitter follower. Hmm, did we miss anything?
While some of that social media stuff is ancillary, it's all reality and part of the landscape we live in 2012, where the digital world is what creates pop icons -- Gaga has that market cornered.
Ne-Yo also said, "Not to take anything away from her because she's ridiculously talented, but artists who stand the test of time -- you just don't see those any more."
Well, Gaga is only getting started. She's 26. She has a lot more time ahead of her to become a bigger icon. What's the rush?
Ne-Yo did qualify what he meant, in terms of what type of acts he is looking to sign to Motown, saying, that the label wants to "breathe fresh air into R&B." He continued, "...but Motown was not always cutting-edge, it was soulful but good pop music too. They were always at the top of the charts in the '60s, and today the lines are getting blurred again with R&B artists doing dance and pop acts doing R&B. I feel now it's just about good music again. Motown needs to stand for quality music, period."
When word began to travel that Ne-Yo trashed Gaga, he then tweeted that he did not diss Gaga, backpedaling profusely.
Below is his tweet.
The ONLY reason I'm speaking on this is because of the recent Trey thing. I DID NOT DIS LADY GAGA. PERIOD. It's fabricated. All love.Thanx.

Hello everyone,
My name is Janosch Apelt, recent MBA graduate from Azusa Pacific University, and I just moved to the Twin Cities. I'd love to start hitting with some of you guys and get back to where is was about a year ago. Long story short, I started my MBA after finishing my undergrad and, as a result thereof, college tennis came to an end. I was ranked #2 in the nation my senior year (NAIA), played several Div. 1 tournaments in California, and was sparring with Pete Sampras. I didn't have much time to play tennis throughout my MBA. Working part-time for a software technology start-up was rather demanding and left little to no time for other activities. Well, now I am here in the Twin Cities looking for a job and, hopefully, some tennis players that are interested in practicing on a regular basis. I'm currently available on a daily basis. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Local Runs Honor Missing Teacher
I have lived in Montana most of my life, and for the last 10 years or so, I have run almost every day.
I've had the good fortune of running with a lot of great people over the years, but I've also logged a hefty chunk of mileage on my own. In Montana, most runners wouldn't give a second thought to heading out for a solo run, especially within city limits. I have done it hundreds of times.
On the morning of Jan. 7, beloved Sidney math teacher Sherry Arnold headed out for a run that she, too, had probably done countless times. She never came home.
When I heard the news of what had happened in Sidney, I was hit with an onslaught of powerful emotions. I was shaken, saddened and scared. I couldn't help but think, "It could have been anyone. It could have been me."
In the weeks after that tragic morning, I thought of Sherry every time I laced up my running shoes. I thought of her family and friends. I thought of her students. I could not even begin to imagine the magnitude of their loss.
This Saturday, Feb. 11, runners all around the world will be lacing up their running and walking shoes in memory of Sherry. What started as a small memorial run organized by Sherry's cousin Beth Risdon quickly turned into a worldwide event after Beth wrote a post about the run on her blog, shutupandrun.net.
Those wishing to participate in the "virtual run" for Sherry Arnold are encouraged to download and print a bib from Beth's site, which they can wear on their shirts while running.
Several organized group runs around the state and country — including a handful in the Missoula area — will also be held Saturday morning.
Runners will gather at Frenchtown High School at 9 a.m. for a one to three-mile run and group photo. There is no fee to participate in the event.
The Runner's Edge will host a group memorial run during its weekly Saturday morning breakfast run, which begins at 8 a.m.
Finally, an organized memorial run will be held at 9:30 a.m. in conjunction with the annual Catchem If You Can 5K race, which starts at Toole Park. Those who register for the race will have the option of wearing a bib for Sherry in addition to their race bib. Those who do not enter the race can run for Sherry free of charge on a separate course.
Brooke is a 2010 graduate of The University of Montana, where she ran track and cross country for the Grizzlies. She is currently working as a writer and editor in Missoula.

7 Commodity Companies That Have Increased Annual Dividends for 25 Years
These seven commodity producers, known as the Dividend Aristocrats, continue to keep dividend-focused investors happy.
Though the commodity space has faced significant headwinds over the past year, there have been certain corners of the market that have proven to be worthwhile investments. One such segment has been commodity producer equities – some of which have benefited from the bull run seen in 2013. But for those investors who are still looking for more bang for their buck, we turn to an elite group dubbed the "Dividend Aristocrats." This select group of companies have increased their annual dividends every year for at least the past 25 years, giving yield-hungry investors a steady stream of current income.
When it comes to commodity investing, dividends rarely overlap. But after scouring through the list of dividend aristocrats, we found three strong commodity producers that deserve a closer look when it comes time to making your hard asset allocation. While these may not be a pure play on the underlying commodities that are produced, the growing income stream and steady performance may be too enticing for investors to ignore.

As part of its massive redesign, iTunes 11 includes a curious iCloud icon at the top left, just beside the media type selector drop down. What does this iCloud icon mean? What does it want from us? Matthew Panzarino investigated and shared his findings on Robot Tuxedo:
Clicking on it does nothing, there is no tooltip and it sometimes animates in various ways. This has led to confusion about its purpose. When I saw it I felt I knew right away what it was, but thought I'd do a little testing to make sure my hypothesis was correct.
No spoilers. Hit the link below and make sure you read down to the update.

About half the asylum seekers in detention on Manus Island and Nauru are suffering from significant depression, stress or anxiety, according to clinical assessments.
Their situation is worse than for those in detention on the mainland and Christmas Island, where a third are suffering major mental health illness, the assessments show.
In both cases, the number of asylum seekers with serious mental health illness and the severity of the conditions is increasing the longer they are held in detention.
Most of the findings are included in a report by International Health and Medical Services (IHMS), the organisation contracted to provide medical services in detention centres for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
They include a spike in reports of asylum seekers on Christmas Island suffering from trauma and torture, "indicating a high level of need for torture and trauma counselling services on the island".
The findings indicate the number of people in immigration detention who have clinical symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder is "well over one thousand".
The findings, obtained by Fairfax Media, will be cited by opponents of mandatory and indefinite detention as the most credible evidence yet that its toll on the mental health of asylum seekers is entirely predictable.
Covering the period from January to March this year, the report reveals that about 13 per cent of those in mainland detention centres and on Christmas Island are suffering from extremely severe depression on arrival.
The percentage grows to 22 per cent for those in detention between four and six months and peaks at 44 per cent for those detained more than 19 months.
The report covers a period when more than 5400 asylum seekers were in detention in mainland centres and on Christmas Island. Almost 70 per cent had been in detention for six months or more.
Although the report highlights the need for "specialist torture and trauma counselling services as well as psychiatrists and clinical psychologists within the detention network", specialists blame the "detention environment" rather than inadequate services for the worsening mental health of detainees.
Fairfax Media revealed last week that Manus Island has been without a full-time psychiatrist for more than three months.
Dr Peter Young, the medical director for mental health of IHMS, referred to the findings for all centres, including Manus and Nauru, in general terms when he addressed the annual congress of the Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists this month.
Dr Young spoke of the "deterioration in mental health status" for those in detention and "differential effects in different immigration detention environments". He said IHMS had "compiled the most complete set of data produced from the detention population".
Dr Choong-Siew Yong, a former member of the government's disbanded health advisory group on detention, said it was clear the length of time in detention correlated with more severe symptoms.
"People are coming as asylum seekers with a high level of mental health problems to begin with, and in the environment of the detention centres and the uncertainty around outcomes and the fact they are often in detention for long periods of time, those problems remain and in some cases get worse despite the provision of treatment," he said.
Dr Yong said he was especially concerned about the mental health of children, who make up 13 per cent of the detention population.
