Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2013
Main message board: for the discussion of topical track & field items only.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
So - with LaCaze seemingly confirmed - the best news from this story:
http://www.theage.com.au/olympics/athle ... 20gqu.html
seems to be:
Coates has welcomed the AA change of heart saying: "We are absolutely delighted that Athletics Australia have reconsidered. We always want to nurture young talent and we think Gen is someone with a great future in our sport and we welcome her on the team for London and beyond that look forward to seeing her in Rio".
The AOC accepts that an athlete who records an A-standard performance after June 22 and before the international deadline of July 7 would have a strong argument on appeal to be allowed onto the team and they would still welcome any athlete in that circumstance onto the team.
Surely this means that future AA selection criteria will allow for (at least) A qualifiers throughout the entire IAAF period.
And what's so hard about that really? Why can't AA just announce an auto team around nationals/trials plus a B shadow squad and then adjust the teams as necessary through the year.
The main team is announced to allow for uniform/credentials/whatever double-checks 6 weeks prior to Games. But then a couple of athletes who could possibly make an A (or an up and coming B in soft events) in the last few days can still be added (with IOC agreeing to automatically accept at least A qualifiers).
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
It's great to see sense prevail.
Returning to the team itself I'm rapt to see 3 male discus hurlers. First time at non-home Games?
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
I like Scott but think he was lucky with the wind, but think Wrucky may surprise his way into the final ... and hope Benn is healthy..
it is a testament to some great coaching and support ..... from a few well respected sourses

Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
LaCaze chops a second off her 1500m PB with a 4-12.48 1500m at Indy.
Lapierre wins Texas LJ in 8.08 (+0.5) but still needs another 12cm for an Olympic berth.
And some decent (inc PB) 10k road runs in Lonny this morning by most of our London marathoners.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
If Scott has been lucky with the wind, then that makes up for all the times he has been unlucky. I agree Wruck might do something impressive because he has proven his competitive ability, but will need to PB to come close to a medal.
Ben's health, according to story in the SMH on Monday, is not ideal. He missed the FBK Games and Rome DL due to a back problem. This puts his 62m in NY in context. He apparently cannot take anti-inflammatories due suffering from congenital hepatic fribrosis - bummer for a heavy lifting thrower.
Further to LaCaze's opportunity to use London as a learning experience for Rio,
TFN picked up a shortened version of the article published online at the WAToday website. Full version at at A throwaway approach hides fierce will to win
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Yeah, because in this global economy everyone has money to splash around. And send everyone! No standards to be an Olympian. Just run third at nationals in a weak athletics nation 7 seconds off the pace, and off you go. Please.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
I agree with Vault-emort - AA should be trying to pick the biggest squad possible. After all, it's the biggest meet in four years and since we're all paying for it in one way or another, we may as well have a decent athlete or two to cheer on. To AA's credit, I believe they've actually tried to do this. I just think they made the wrong call on LaCaze and were subsequently forced into an embarrassing backdown. I'm comfortable with the team they've picked apart from that and I'm just as comfortable with the non-selection of borderline athletes like Lapierre, Manou, Ross (in the individual 100 that is) without an A. On current form, LaCaze is at least capable of making the semis in London, irrespective of how she ran at nationals a couple of months ago.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Well, that's a fair jump....
Maximum Representation means A qualifiers (3 if possible) in each event and - if we do not have an A - then B standards can still be considered. Nothing at all about sending athletes who have not achieved the same international standards as every other entrant .

AA has now extended the qualification window from June 22 to July 7
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
From the AA site, here is the list of 'shadow' athletes who have nominated for an OG spot, subject to an 'A' qualifier before the cut-off date.
I know 'hope springs eternal' but some of these names have got to be kidding - I mean plenty of them haven't been that close to a B...

Scott Crowe

Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Why isn't Vault-emort among the names?
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
With my PB of something like 11.11m for the triple at age 12, I was tempted to apply for the 4xtotally ridiculous relay
hang on - thanks 2 a social media campaign, I'm IN!
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
If any Aussies are interested: There is a big junior meeting today in Mannheim / Germany with many australian juniors (and some seniors) competing and there is even a livestream with liveresults here: http://www.leichtathletik.tv/2012/Sonst ... la12/1.htm .
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
And very importantly a few of the seniors are in Nivelle for a meet (Pearson, Breen, Boden, Manou, Renshaw...):
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Aussies doing well so far in Mannheim.

3. Offereins 46.59
2. Renshaw 1.46.45
1. Batt 7.59.92
1. Cole 50.60
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Sally's run corrects to 11.11, which would break MGT's 11.12A AR. I hope she gets a chance to run another 10m soon to see if she can get. This makes her the fastest sprint hurdler in the world, ahead of Phylicia George who has run 11.25 this year.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
I think the way her luck is going in the 100m, she'll finish her career with a PB of 11.13 -10.5m/s
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Sad part.... I agree >_<
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
11.13 would be a low-alt AR! But I hope that the wind gods allow Sally a chance to break it fair and square one day. Maybe one season she will focus on the sprints exclusively and get into the 10s!
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Steve Hooker's city-square comp in Köln yesterday wasn't anything flash. Conditions didn't appear to be great (and the comp was won at only 5.40m) but still..

I thought MGT had a 11.14 from 94 as well?

Was it windy maybe? I thought her second best non-altitude time was 11.16 from '97

Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Not true ever.
I once ran third, had a qualifier and didn't go.
Its bad enough having the geography we do, and the out of season competition. Not everyone can go OS.
Australia has enough hurdles to overcome without making it even harder.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
That's true. I don't understand the compulsion to berate Australian athletes and exult in their exclusion from teams for failing to perform to a standard that no northern hemisphere athlete ever has to. Can you imagine the the whinging and bitching of Euro and USA athletes if every Olympics and WC was held in season for the southern hemisphere???
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Most of this is not breaking news, but shows there are still appeals happening in both men's relays. http://t.co/A4Ba5Jp8
Men's 4x100m Relay **
Anthony Alozie, Tim Leathart, Andrew McCabe, Isaac Ntiamoah, Joshua Ross
Men's 4x400m Relay **
Joel Milburn, Ben Offereins, Steven Solomon, John Steffensen
** Subject to the outcome of an ongoing appeal.
Probably why the Cole/Thomas names were removed from the 4x4 list (as they are individually qualified)?
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
The pool of possible appellants is surely constrained to the following (from the 'shadow squad'):
Matt Davies (100m/200m)
Liam Gander (100m)
Jake Hammond (100m)
Aaron Rouge-Serret (100m/200m)
Alex Beck (400m)
Jackson Mallory (400m)
Alexander Rowe (400m)
Sean Wroe (400m)
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
They just announced it's apparently only Davies and Beck (to be judged tonight).
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
ABC TV are reporting the death of sprinter Daniel Batman in a car accident today in the Northern Territory. Sheesh...
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
One of our best-ever all-round sprint talents though probably never reached his full potential.
100m 10.19
200m 20.44
400m 45.04
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Make that "probably" a definitely, Vault-emort. I've never seen an athlete have so many changes of focus and breaks in training and yet still have such a great all round standard.
I had dinner with him a few years back in the city of churches and found him quite a nice guy. My condolences to his ex and their children.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Here's the story on Batman's passing:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-06-26/a ... section=nt
Sad news.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Well, it looks like the early announcement by AA also has implications for the women's relay team members who don't have individual spots.
Australia has been put out of the top 16 after the heats of the EC relay gave the following:
- Poland ran a 43.13 SB to go with a 43.77 to total 86.90 from 17th to 10th
- Switzerland a new SB of 43.51 to go with a 43.81 for a total of 87.32 and moved from 18th to 15th
UK is also out of top 16 at 17th place and was DQ'd, so no improvement possible in the final. Australia one place behind at 18th.
Looks like Hayley Butler (NSW), Jessica Knox (NSW), and Charlotte Van Veenendaal (Vic) will have to hand those uniforms back.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Sad but inevitable on the times put up this year.
Possibly a shame that a 4x1 in Europe last week (say Pearson/Breen/Brennan/Gayen) couldn't have had a go at a 43.5.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
A bit of Fairfax investigative output has been pointed AA and Eric Hollingsworth's way. Enjoy it before the journos all finish up their jobs.
Athletics chief fights back
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
I see our men's 4x1 WILL get to run in London. They just clocked 38.68 in Japan.
Re: Aussie Aussie Aussie - 2012
Yep, Ghana and South Africa failed to improve at African champs - both would have had to improve to knock Australia out.

Tigers look to extend surge by shoring up weaknesses
With a three-game sweep of the White Sox over the weekend, the Tigers retook first place in the AL Central for the first time since early May. Dating back to June 30, they're on a 15-4 run, rivaling the A's for the title of "the hottest team in baseball." On Monday, while the rest of the baseball world was buzzing about the Ryan Dempster trade rumors and the Ichiro-to-New-York shocker, Detroit pulled off a trade with the Marlins to shore up two of its most glaring weaknesses, receiving righthander Anibal Sanchez and second baseman Omar Infante, albeit at the cost of top pitching prospect Jacob Turner and two other minor leaguers. It would appear that the Tigers have rediscovered their bite.
Their recent surge should be warming the cockles of owner Mike Ilich's heart, as it's being driven by the superstars at the upper end of a payroll that ranks as the game's fifth-highest at $133 million. Prince Fielder, who was signed to a nine-year, $214 million deal over the winter, is hitting .359 /474/.547 with three homers this month. Not to be outdone, Miguel Cabrera is even hotter, .397/.449/.765 with seven home runs, including the 300th of his career on Sunday. On the pitching side, Justin Verlander has rediscovered the groove that helped him win the AL Cy Young and MVP awards last year, yielding three runs and 11 hits over 25 innings in three starts.
Verlander aside, this latest run has more to do with the Tigers battering opponents into submission than it does with stifling them. After scoring 4.37 runs per game through the end of June, they're up to 5.56 per game in July, on .286/.356/.472 hitting. Brennan Boesch has snapped out of a dreadful early-season slump to hit .380/.415/.740 in July, while Jhonny Peralta (.317/.359/.500) and Austin Jackson (.284/.361/.446) have been lighting up opposing pitchers as well. Meanwhile, the team's run prevention has dropped by about half the amount of their offensive increase, from 4.49 per game through June to 3.89 in July. Much of that is Verlander; in the games he hasn't started, the Tigers have dropped from allowing 4.93 runs per game (which would rank as the league's second-worst mark) to 4.47 (still higher than the league average 4.38).
The trade with the Marlins should help the Tigers on both sides of the ball, though more on the run prevention side. Aside from Verlander, no Tigers starter has posted an ERA below 4.00, with Doug Fister (4.04) the only one with an ERA better than the league average (4.05). Fister (1.1 HR/9), Max Scherzer (4.62 ERA, 1.4 HR/9) and rookie Drew Smyly (4.42 ERA, 1.2 HR/9) have all struggled to keep the ball in the park, though their strikeout and walk rates have been strong enough, while Rick Porcello (4.40 ERA) has been victimized by a .349 batting average on balls in play. Smyly is currently on the disabled list due to an intercostal strain, and doesn't have a timetable for return; in his stead, Turner was roughed up for 10 runs and four home runs in 7 1/3 innings over two starts, though he was able to wobble through the latter, against the White Sox on Sunday, for Detroit to win.
The 28-year-old Sanchez, a pending free agent, profiles as the Tigers' best starter behind Verlander. His 3.94 ERA is also a bit on the high side given strong peripherals (0.9 HR/9, 2.5 BB/9, 8.2 K/9), inflated a bit by a .312 BABIP. His 3.46 Fielding Independent Pitching (an estimate of his ERA based upon his strikeout, walk, hit-by-pitch and homer rates) would rank as second among the team's starters behind Verlander's 2.88. Once a pitcher who couldn't steer clear of the disabled list — he made just 49 big league starts from 2006-2009, interrupted by a variety of shoulder problems including 2007 labrum surgery — Sanchez has become quite durable, reaching 32 starts and 195 innings in each of the past two seasons. Last year, he set career highs with 202 strikeouts and 9.3 strikeouts per nine.
Second base was a glaring need for the Tigers from both the offensive and defensive standpoints, as I pointed out in my AL Central deadline preview, and wrote in more detail on Monday at Baseball Prospectus, when I awarded the team's three-headed Ryan Raburn/Ramon Santiago/Danny Worth hydra a spot on my Midsummer Replacement-Level Killers, highlighting the biggest sinkholes in the lineups of contenders::
They might be running away with the division had they solved their second base problem over the winter, but instead, general manager Dave Dombrowski chose to mix and match with the options at hand, namely good hit/no field Raburn, good field/no hit Santiago, minor leaguer Danny Worth and displaced third baseman Brandon Inge. Not only have those players combined for a .203/.289/.278 line while playing second, they've been the Keystone Cops of a a defensively-challenged unit that ranks second-to-last in the league in defensive efficiency at .678, 17 points below league average. Inge has been jettisoned… while Raburn has been farmed out, recalled and repurposed as a utilityman, leaving Santiago (.220/.302/.298) to do the bulk of the damage lately.
In both articles, I noted that Infante, who played for the Tigers from 2007-2007, had been one of the options under discussion. The 30-year-old righty swinger is hitting .287/.312/.442 with eight homers, more than he's hit in any season since 2004, when he bopped 16; his slugging percentage is 45 points above his career mark. More importantly, he's a strong glove man according to all of the major defensive metrics; even with a pitching staff that leads the league in strikeout rate, the upgraded defensive support should help, particularly for the groundballer Porcello (5.4 K/9). Versatile enough to help at shortstop, third base or the outfield corners if the need arises, Infante is signed through 2013, for a reasonable $4 million per year.
The pair of players didn't come cheap. In Turner, the Marlins are getting a 21-year-old 6-foot-5 righty who was the ninth pick of the 2009 draft, a pitcher whom Baseball America ranked among the top 26 prospects in each of the past three years; Baseball Prospectus had him 15th this year, while ESPN had him 29th. Considered extremely polished for his age, a future No. 2 or 3 starter, he throws a 90-94 mph fastball that touches 95 and an over-the-top curveball and a changeup that can both miss bats. "He has a big, strong frame, easy delivery, and maintains his stuff deep into games and late into seasons." wrote BP's Kevin Goldstein this spring, though he noted, "While he throws a lot of strikes, he still needs to polish the command of those secondary offerings." With a grand total of 17 starts in Double-A, 13 in Triple-A and six in the majors (with an 8.28 ERA) over the past two seasons, he's hardly a finished product. Competing for the team's fifth starter job in the spring, he lost out to Smyly, a 23-year-old who was the team's second round pick in 2010. Smyly's ceiling is as a future No. 4 starter, but he's apparently much closer to that now than Turner is to his ceiling; even so, he's the one who's now out of a rotation spot.
As for the two other players in the package, both might be usable at the big league level, but they've got a ways to go even to get there, and hardly profile as future stars. Rob Brantly is a 23-year-old catcher who was the team's third round pick out of the University of California in 2010. Ranked seventh on the Tigers' prospect list according to Baseball America, he's only hitting .254/.295/.285 at Triple-A, with neither his his power nor his on-base ability profiling as projectable. Brian Flinn is a 6-foot-8, 22-year-old lefty who was the team's seventh-round pick out of Wichita State, with a low-90s fastball but secondary offerings that rate below average. The Tigers and Marlins did also swap competitive balance lottery picks, with Detroit receiving what amounts to the 37th pick in next year's draft, and Miami receiving the 73rd.
With the surge, the Tigers are now forecast to have a 71.7 percent chance of making the postseason according to Baseball Prospectus' Playoff Odds. The trade, while depriving them of a potential future rotation cog, keeps pace with the White Sox, who have added Kevin Youkilis and Brett Myers in recent weeks, and who themselves rate a 68.0 percent chance of making the playoffs. Perhaps as importantly, the deal fortifies them at a time when other Wild Card hopefuls are still mulling their options. They still have work to be done — replacing DH Delmon Young would be a start— but the Tigers are suddenly in much better shape to return to October.

New ADA Guidelines Ease Blood Pressure TargetPosted: Monday, January 07, 2013
The ADA's Clinical Practice Recommendations, revised on an annual basis, include the association's major position statement along with additional position statements on a range of diabetes-management-related topics.
Dr. Richard Grant (Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, Oakland, CA), incoming chair of the ADA Professional Practice Committee, stated that the revisions reflect the increasing use of evidence-based recommendations in addition to the recognition that the population-based evidence derived from studies needs to be tailored to the individual patient, and commented, "The changes reflect a broader trend in ADA standards and also how we take care of patients with type 2 diabetes."
The new ADA guidelines raise the target for systolic blood pressure from <130 mm Hg to <140 mm Hg based on evidence that there is not a great deal of additional value in aiming for the lower target, but there is an increase in risk in pushing systolic pressure lower than 140 mm Hg, Grant explained.
The primary data for that recommendation came from a meta-analysis that demonstrated that although the use of intensive vs standard blood-pressure targets in patients with type 2 diabetes was associated with a small reduction in the risk for stroke, there was no evidence for decreased mortality or MI, but an increased risk for hypotension and other adverse events.
The previous target of <130 mm Hg had not been derived from randomized, controlled trials, but from observational studies that seemed to suggest lower is better for blood pressure in those with diabetes. However, the new ADA recommendations do say that a target <130 mm Hg might be appropriate for certain individuals, such as younger patients, as long as it can be achieved "without undue treatment burden." Grant stressed that raising the systolic threshold should not be interpreted to mean that blood-pressure control is not important.
"We really tried to communicate that it's crucially important that everyone with type 2 diabetes have a [systolic] blood pressure down to 140mm Hg," he said. "It's a very important threshold. Changing the recommendation is not meant to imply that excellent blood-pressure control is not as much of a priority as it was." However, Dr. Yehuda Handelsman (Metabolic Institute of America, Tarzana, CA) said he is concerned about just that. "I believe the headline sends the wrong message. This will be interpreted that's its less important to get to a more intensive goal."
There have been no new prospective data in the past year to merit the change, said Handelsman, immediate past president and chair of the Diabetes Scientific Committee of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE).
"There are no new studies, only meta-analyses, which are for generating hypotheses that need to be tested," said Handelsman.
Regarding adverse events, Handelsman pointed out that in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes [ACCORD] trial, the average blood pressure achieved in the standard group, which had a target of <140 mm Hg, was 133.5 mm Hg compared with 119.3 mm Hg in the intensive treatment group, which had a target blood pressure of <120 mm Hg.
In ACCORD, the annual stroke rates were 0.32% vs 0.53% in the intensive and standard BP-control groups, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 0.59, 95% CI 0.39-0.89, p=0.01), whereas adverse events such as syncope and dizziness occurred in 1.3% vs 3.3% in the intensive and standard groups, respectively.
"Based on this trial, to say that a systolic blood pressure of 130 [mmHg] is dangerous is wrong," said Handelsman.
He added that he believes that what the ADA should have advised (and did, in fact, do so, but only secondarily) is that "if you can get to <130 [mm Hg] and do it safely, you should do it."
Handelsman noted that he was voicing his own views and not those of the AACE.

The Scope Of Administrative LawPosted by Jodie on January 7, 2014 at 11:17 pm | Last modified: January 12, 2014 11:19 pm
Administrative law refers to the body of law that governs the activities of the administrative agencies of the government wherein the government agency actions involve rulemaking, the enforcement of a specific regulatory agenda or the adjudication. Administrative law is also considered as a branch of public law wherein as a body of law, it deals with the decision making of other administrative units of the government such as boards, commissions and tribunals. These units of the government are part of the national regulatory scheme such as areas of police law, manufacturing and international trade. It is also the same with areas of immigration, transport, taxation, broadcasting and environment.
During the twentieth century, administrative law greatly expanded wherein the legislative bodies worldwide have created more government agencies to regulate the increasingly complex social, economic and political sphere of the human interaction. In cases of civil law countries, they often have specialized courts, administrative courts that are responsible to review decisions made by the government and its agencies.
If we view it in a general way, most of the countries that are following the principles of common law have developed certain procedures that can be use for judicial review wherein it limits the reviewability of the decisions made by the bodies of administrative law. Most of the time, these kinds of procedures goes with other legislation or other common law doctrines which establish standards for proper rule making.
Administrative law on the other side can also be applied to review the decisions of the so-called semi public bodies like non-profit corporations, disciplinary boards and other decision making bodies that may affect the legal rights of its members.
Since the a larger governmental unit that usually controls the administrative decision making body, the decisions they made are subject to review by the court of general jurisdiction under some principle of judicial review that are based upon the due process in cases of the United States while it is called fundamental justice in Canada. Take note that administrative appeal is different from the judicial review of administrative decisions. In the case of reviewing decisions the court will only look at the method in which the decisions were arrived at. In the case of administrative appeal, the correctness of the decision itself will be examined by a higher body within the agency.
One thing that we should also know is the power to review administrative decisions are usually established by statue and are originally developed from the royal prerogative writs of English law.

Understanding What Is Administrative LawPosted by Jodie on December 2, 2013 at 4:28 am | Last modified: December 6, 2013 4:29 am
Are you familiar with political terms like the Administrative Law? From its name, it is a law and we are subjected to it and we need to follow it as a citizen. But it is also very important that we s citizen understand the laws that we are subjected to. So, right now, we will be talking about Administrative Law because it is hard to follow something that you do not fully understand. If you understand the law, you will be able to do the right thing and particularly your right as a citizen. Now let us talk about the definition of Administrative law. What is Administrative Law?
It is the body of law that governs the administrative and regulation of government agencies both in federal and state. This law is actually created by Congress or the state legislature; it encompasses the procedures under which these agencies operate as well as external constraints upon them. Administrative Law is also referred to as the branch of public law or also known as the regulatory law. Base on reports, over the years, government agencies has made a great impact because it has grown both in number and importance in the United States. Did you know that this law affects wide variety of social issues like the telecommunications, the financial market, and racial discrimination? Sample agencies of Administrative Law are DOL or the Department of Labor, The Federal Communications Commission or FCC, and the Security Exchange Commission or SEC. I am sure that you are familiar with offices which I am sure that you have been in these offices.
Now, I am also sure that most of us are just going in inside these offices without even understanding what they do inside and how they could help you. Administrative offices are very important like for example the DOL. Like if you have any issues with your employer or with your job, you can always report your problem to this office and they will help you get justice. They will even tell what you need to do to win the case. A simple complain in this office could simply affect your employers and they may give you some compensation with the damage they have caused you. SEC and FCC are also different offices that are very important when it comes to your personal benefits and documents. That is Administrative Law are very important and we need to understand how it works and how we could benefit from it.

What We Should Do About Our Civil RightsPosted by Jodie on October 29, 2013 at 2:12 pm | Last modified: November 2, 2013 2:14 pm
We all have our own rights and privileges and it is very important that we must know each one of these. Exercising these rights leads us to a happier and fulfilled life and so knowing what these are is advantageous to us. We cannot stand up for our rights especially if they are being violated if we do not know what rights we have to begin with. One of these rights which are most often violated is our civil rights.
Civil rights refer to those rights which are established to protect our physical and mental well-being. We might have been exercising these rights without our knowledge. Some people might have an idea of what these rights are but they do not really know unto what extent they can exercise these. Examples of civil rights are right to privacy, freedom, suffrage, religion, expression, assembly, movement, speech, education, healthcare, and countless more. Civil rights make all people equal under the low by protecting us from discrimination and injustice. Back in the days, people discriminate others because of differences in races, gender, religion, color and other factors. We can remember how women were considered inferior to men a few decades ago and were treated more as commodities rather than humans. There was also the African-American Civil Rights Movement that was started so that African Americans and other minorities will gain an equal footing with other Americans in the society. Fortunately, incidents of discrimination and injustice have declined over the years because of the increasing awareness among people of their rights and the strict implementation of penalties for those who are infringing these rights.
However, there are still some civil rights issues that are being addressed these days. One of these is the fight for gender equality. Gender equality is already achieved in some societies but others still have a long way to go. Equal opportunities for men and women in the workplace are being promoted. There is also the issue of same sex marriage. Some places around the world have allowed this but others still strongly believe that marriage can only be administered between a man and a woman. The civil rights of disabled people are also being propagated by establishing facilities and job opportunities for them.
Each of our rights must be respected to have peace and equality in the society. We must remember that without these, our world will be full of chaos and disorder. What we should do then is to know our rights, stand up for them and respect others' in order to live a happy life.

The Definite Guide To US Disability LawPosted by Jodie on October 10, 2013 at 8:31 am | Last modified: October 11, 2013 8:33 am
Laws are originally made with the purpose of maintaining peace and security among the citizens of the state. It governs all forms of conduct and behaviors of the people under a particular government's jurisdiction. These policies and regulations serve as our protection against our anarchic tendencies as human beings. But most importantly, laws are created to provide equality and equity among these people regardless of age, race or background.
This special power of the legislators to create laws has the capability of changing and redefining how society works. One can never forget how more economic, social and political opportunities have been opened to women when the US government has enacted a law that guarantees the right to suffrage of all regardless of sex IN 1920. Since then, a lot of subsequent affirmative actions in the form of new state legislations have already been enforced for many years to equalize the standing s of those belonging to the minority groups.
One good example of this so-called affirmative action is the passing of the Disability Law in the US or, otherwise known as the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). A law sponsored and authored by the former Senator Tom Harkin in 1990, ADA aims to protect people with disabilities from being discriminated in accessing government services, transportation, public facilities and utilities and employment. It was during the term of former President George W. Bush that he approved the ADA Amendment Act of 2008. The amendment of the law seeks to strengthen and expand the level of protection disabled workers have and also remove certain stipulations which the Congress deem to be too restrictive.
Disability, as legally defined by this Act, refers to a mental or physical incapability that limits that restrict an individual from free movement and also from actively joining major life activities. It can also be a record of an impairment or a form of societal regard of one being impaired.
In employment, companies, businesses and organizations are prohibited from discriminating disabled people during the job hiring, promotion and discharge process for employees. Disabled workers should also be given ample compensation and trainings equal to that of a normal employee. Another example lies in the form of public transportation. People with disability are entitled to the privilege of equally enjoying services, facilities, goods and services available for the general public.
ADDAA has been fully enforced for nearly two decades already and its effectiveness have helped people with disabilities in US to enjoy the equal rights they rightfully deseve.

What You Need To Know More About The Workers' Compensation LawPosted by Jodie on September 24, 2013 at 2:41 pm | Last modified: September 27, 2013 2:45 pm
Have you ever experienced getting injured while doing your job at the office? Or have you had any illnesses because of your work and not get anything in return? Each employee is protected by his rights both as a worker and as a human. In the U.S., every employee is covered by the Workers' Compensation Law.
The Workers' Compensation Law, also known as the Workman's' Comp, is implemented in every state. This law is under the Workers' Rehabilitation and Compensation Act of 1988. In this law, the state orders a form of insurance to be given to employees who are injured while working. When the worker suffers from a work-related injury, the law provides him or her compensation benefits regardless if it was the fault of the worker or the employer. The goal of this law is to help injured workers to recover with financial expenses as well as employment circumstances. The worker will not be entitled to any rights specified under this law if he is found guilty of having a bad intention of hurting someone or himself.
The employer, on the other hand, is required by state only to provide insurance for his or her workers as stated in the law. The expenses incurred for purchasing the insurance could be seen in the business' income statement under the cost of goods sold. This is because the law does not intend to penalize the business owners and the business. In turn, the employees cannot sue their employers for the injury or illness they had from work. Moreover, the employers cannot ask the injured worker to pay any costs incurred. This specific law does not focus on the negligence of any of the two parties. This law is most relevant to manufacturing companies and factories.
As stated under the law, an injured worker is entitled to benefits.
Income Benefits
When a worker is injured and still goes back to work, it is deemed pointless since the worker would be less efficient and would not finish the number of tasks required of him. Thus, the employee is still entitled to his weekly or monthly salary.
Medical Benefits
The insurance availed by the employer includes medical and funeral benefits. All medical expenses suffered by the employee in treating his injury or sickness shall be covered by the insurance. If the employee died, then funeral expenses shall also be paid by the insurance company.
Social Security Benefits
For workers who have been permanently impaired for 12 months or more, they are entitled to social security benefits monthly. This is according to the Workers' Compensation Board in New York.
As an employee, it is your responsibility to be aware of the nature of your job and its corresponding risks. It would also be for your own good if you know the laws that are applicable to you and your work. Take initiative to know your rights.

Basic Laws In Health That You Should KnowPosted by Jodie on July 30, 2013 at 8:25 am | Last modified: August 7, 2013 8:28 am
Health is one of the most important things that we should give priority. Being healthy is something that should not be taken for granted. We need to remember that health is always wealth because if we are able to prevent minor diseases, we get to avoid those serious problems that could cost a lot. So if we want to be health conscious, we need to know some basic health law.
First law of health is to eat right. Having a balanced diet is always important and remember not to eat much and not to eat less. Also, for people who would want to lose weight, try not to cut back on meals but try to add more healthy meals. You need also to take note that skipping meals is not a good idea. If you skip meals, you would even gain more weight because you are triggering your body to hoard more since you are starving it. Second law is to exercise daily. Daily exercise would always keep your body going. You would be able to improve your muscles, your respiratory systems, blood circulation, and many more. Plus, people say that exercise makes a person happy because the kind of adrenaline rush that you feel when you exercise is when your mood hormones are produced. You can try running, cycling, swimming, going to the gym, or any kind of exercise. As long as you are moving a lot, it is still considered as an exercise. Third, get enough rest. Take note this is one of the most important laws in health. Even if you are exercising a lot and eating well, you would not be able to have a healthy body if you do not get enough rest. Remember that sleep is when your body regenerates its body cells and tissues that get damaged because of workouts and other strenuous activities. Lastly, the most important law of health is to enjoy. They say that laughter is the best medicine and it is true. If you are happy, you are able to avoid diseases such as heart and mental problems. You cannot really tell what effects laughter has but it is proven that it is indeed healthy for the body and mind. So you can try going out with your friends, hang out, and do some fun stuff.
Now that you know some laws in health, you might want o follow these things so that you will become a lot healthier.

The Importance Of Education LawPosted by Jodie on July 4, 2013 at 2:05 pm | Last modified: July 5, 2013 2:07 pm
Having knowledge about the educational law is very helpful not only for the school but also for students. With the help of the law, schools will be able to come up with better school rules and regulation which will benefit both the school and their students. The school will also be able to learn more about their accountabilities and responsibilities to the government. Through this, the school can guarantee that they are abiding by the rules and regulations of the education department. It is also one way for the school to be able to protect itself against illegal activities especially when it comes to negotiating, purchasing products, and signing contracts.
For school employees such as teachers and professors, having knowledge about the education law will help provide them with fair treatment especially when it comes to their promotion, work schedules and salary. They will also be able to determine if until what extent they are only allowed to discipline their students. In the case of students, having knowledge about the law will let them know about their rights and obligation to their teachers and to the school. They will also be able to protect themselves against abusive acts of their schoolmates and teachers such as bullying and discrimination. With the help of the law, students who have disabilities will also be given the chance to enroll and study. They will also receive the proper attention they need and protect themselves against maltreatment and can guarantee that they will be treated fairly just like any other students in the school.
Everything that concerns the safety of the school employees and the students are also stated in the law. Prohibition of illegal substances, deadly weapons, and other dangerous materials are strictly observed and anyone who is caught breaking the law will be given with the necessary punishment by the school and by the authorities. The school is also recommended to provide their employees and students with the necessary items they need in order to make their teaching and learning experience become better and more useful. Providing students and faculties with proper health care is also stated in the law.
When it comes to employment, the school is obliged by the education law to follow the rules and regulations of employment. For admissions of students, it is also stated in the law that the school should give every student with equal chance. There are also certain rules in the law that covers financial aspects of a school or university especially when it comes to financial acquisition and management.

The Need For Constitutional LawPosted by Jodie on June 12, 2013 at 11:50 pm | Last modified: June 20, 2013 11:59 pm
In every nation or country, it is a must to have a system to put everything in order so as make the country productive and efficient with regards to economy, education, healthcare, and many more. This is the reason why there is a need for a government. But before you can have a ruling body, a constitutional law must first be created because this law is the one that creates a relationship among the three major branches of the government, namely, the executive, legislative, and judicial branch. These three entities are responsible for everything that is happening in the country, but of course along with the help of the citizens' votes because they are the ones who will put the rightful people in office. So to know more about this body of law, it is best to tackle about its three branches first.
The executive branch of the government is the body that is responsible for the implementation of the plans of the government. It is responsible for executing the laws being passed by the senators and the person who plays a major role in this branch is the president. This person, but of course with the help of advisers, has the power to approve which laws would be beneficial for the entire nation. Next, the legislative body is the one that makes laws. They make bills and through debates and analizations of the proposed bills, they choose which ones to pass for the executive body to approve. For every nation there is a different kind of system, it can be unicameral, bicameral, or tricameral. A unicameral legislative body only has one house, the bicameral has two, and the tricameral has three of course. For each house, they have different duties and responsibilities and their powers are also different from each other as well. Lastly, the judicial branch of the government is the branch responsible for penalizing those people that violate the laws and even the president is not exempted. They are the ones responsible in interpreting and analyzing a specific law which a person breaks.
Indeed, there is a need for a government in every nation because it brings peace and order. Without it, there would be freedom of course, but everyone would not feel that feeling because each person would do what his mind would dictate, thus resulting to chaos. So as citizens of our respective countries, we need to be responsible and abide to our laws so that we can make the world a better place.

What You Should Know About Administrative LawPosted by Jodie on May 21, 2013 at 2:55 pm | Last modified: May 23, 2013 3:00 pm
As a resident, it is very important that we are knowledgeable when it comes to the laws both local and international laws. Laws are there to put things in order. One of the most important laws that we should understand is the Administrative Law. Administrative Law is known to be the body of law that governs the activities of administrative agencies of government for both federal and state. According to the law, a government agency may include rule making, adjudication, or the enforcement of a specific regulatory agenda. Another definition of Administrative law is it is considered as a branch of public law. It deals with the decision-making of administrative units of government; for example, tribunals, boards or commissions that are part of a national regulatory scheme which are the areas of police law, international trade, manufacturing, environment, taxation, broadcasting, immigration, and transport.
During the twentieth century, administrative law has expanded greatly as legislative bodies worldwide that created more government agencies to regulate the increasingly complex social, economic, and political spheres of human interaction. However, with the civil law countries they often have specialized courts, administrative courts that actually review these decisions. But most of the administrative decisions contested in administrative courts are related to taxation.
Based on the investopedia definition, administrative law over the years, government agencies have steadily grown both in number and importance in the United States. This type of law affects a wide variety of social issues like telecommunications, the financial market and racial discrimination. The perfect examples of these agencies include Department of Labor (DOL), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Security Exchange Commission (SEC).
Generally speaking, the principles of common law is being followed by most countries, and most countries that follows the principles of common law have developed procedures for judicial review that limit the review of decisions made by administrative law bodies. To help establish the standards for proper rule making, often these procedures are coupled with legislation or other common law doctrines. Administrative law may also apply to review of decisions of so-called semi-public bodies like the non-profit corporations, disciplinary boards, and other decision-making bodies that affect the legal right of members of a particular group or entity.
Now you see how administrative law could affect the government bodies. That's why it's very important that we understand this kind of law and other laws as well so we won't be ignorant when it comes to our rights.

Education Law For Schools, Teachers And StudentsPosted by Jodie on March 4, 2013 at 1:08 pm | Last modified: March 12, 2013 1:12 pm
What is education law really? Is this relevant to the modern educational standards? Education is very important. If you are educated then you get all the chance to improve your life. You can be educated in different ways. Entering a formal school is one of the most effective ways. Enroll yourself following all the guidelines, meeting requirements, passing the qualifying exams, etc. You also need enough funds for the entire year. What are these funds for? Your educational fun covers almost everything you need from tuition fees, books, laboratory materials, miscellaneous fees, boarding house, food, etc. The financial status of the person can really affect his education. This is why educational law exists. This is a law that embodies all rules and regulations to better guide a particular teaching institution. Without these rules, conflicts are mainly experienced. These rules or regulations are like country's rules. Without it, schools don't have uniform ideals. This field is broad enough. It includes not only the policies that should govern a school. It even deals with school funding, teacher qualifications, student assessment, uniforms, etc. A school is an institution which is bound to produce well-mannered and intelligent individuals. Any school be it for primary or intermediate, it is always governed by an existing education law. With that, it will never go wrong. By installing to the people the basics about life and skills, working professionals are earned. Not all can afford an expensive college education. This is why a part of the law mentioned the need of financial assistance both to teachers and students. Some can't go to schools because they don't have enough cash. Thanks to those who strongly support scholarship and other free educational opportunities. Deserving but poor students can avail free education. But, requirements should be met.
Teachers benefit the most from this law. How? Professionals who are in the teaching professions are sometimes ignored and their rights violated. They are doing their jobs right. They are making the most out of the available resources. But, at times, they don't receive enough praises, respect and cash. Some are paid but only a little. So, work is more of rendering service. Salary is one of the many concerns of teachers today. Lucky are those who receive more than enough. But, still, a huge portion of educators today receive only a little or none at all. Education law is here to provide the best solution. It is to guide teachers of what they should do and expect. The law simply explain the rights and responsibilities if educators. It explains the importance of the teacher in imparting knowledge. Teachers' obligations do not end outside of the classroom. Those obligations are always with them. But, there are limits to how far a teacher can give and do. The law always asks from teachers to be dedicated, worthy and excellent all the time. Nothing in this world is permanent. So, as the educational requirements become complicated and curriculum changed, teachers should innovate too. How? The can take professional trainings and courses.
Schools are made for education seekers. Schools should have the most perfect environment where each learner can effectively do things everyday. With the existence of the law, schools are made better. Policies are clear. The school can effectively comply with the targeted goals.
Education law is also for students. In a teaching-learning environment, everything revolves around the students. He is the key factor. If the teachers are protected and made aware of their rights, student also are given due importance. They need to develop the love for learning. They need to feel secure. They need to be prepared for a brighter future. If a sailing ship follows a compass for it not to go the wrong way, educational institution also needs a compass for goals to be fulfilled.

The Best Benefits Of Learning The Constitutional LawPosted by Jodie on January 3, 2013 at 1:46 pm | Last modified: January 3, 2013 1:46 pm
There is no one above the law not even those that seem to be ignorant about it, even so constitutional law should be studied carefully not only be some but everybody. It is something that can help people protect their own right while respecting someone else's. The essential characteristic of it is the very idea that it can give you power to know your rights and fight for them whenever it is necessary. You also need to involve in such free discussion about this and even trial and error in this way you can clarify certain things consider this. While it is true that there is no such thing as perfect formula when it comes to leaning these things, there is such thing as good formula and you need to make yourself familiar with this. You have to find all means of doing so, in this way you can just get all the necessary information you need.
You also need to bear in mind that a government which maintained law and order, defined property rights, served as a means whereby we could modify property to rights. It can even be among the major help in getting the economic situation of a certain place be lifted up no matter how troublesome the world may be at times. It adjudicated disputes about the interpretation of the rules, enforced contracts, promoted competition, provided a monetary frame-work engaged in activities to counter technical monopolies and to overcome any of those bad effects from neighborhood regarded as sufficiently important to justify government intervention. It can even supplement private charity and the private family. It can surely extend a big help as you start your own family.
Learning about the constitutional law will surely the role of government clear enough. You will surely learn that there is an important function governments need to perform and that it is your right to get all of these best benefits from it. Learning these things may never be that easy but when you do it with full intent then there no way you can't learn it vividly. You can purchase a book that gives good information about it or you can also take some time to talk to people who seriously know stuffs about this law.
You have to just remember that the only great difficulty lies in this; you must first enable the government to control the governed. You can't just act just because it's the way you feel because you need to be objective and let government do their job well enough. You also need to respect people in authority to do their job without you intervening. As a matter of fact, the next thing that you need to do is to oblige to control yourself. The role of a constitution is to provide scope for good government and you need to understand that clearly. On the other hand, you also need to know the value of placing limitations on the powers of the governments.
At the end of the day it is your life and you have all the right to govern it in a way but learning about what is constitutional law will help you live your life to the fullest. It can somehow lead you in road that will make your life productive and safe without you forgetting about other's rights too. You have to reconsider these things because it can greatly affect you and your family. You need to make sure that you do not just take these things lightly because there is certainly more to it that you will experience only if you learn it well enough.

Why Should You Know About Administrative LawPosted by Jodie on December 17, 2012 at 10:57 am | Last modified: December 17, 2012 10:57 am
There is a simple definition that comes with administrative law. It is the branch of law that oversees the bodies of government that are responsible for administration. This is basically an agency that functions in an administrative capacity and generally works as a branch of public law. It also deals with decision-making arms of the government. This is usually given to those who are public officials and in public agencies. There is also a big difference when it comes to the administrative authority and legislative or judicial authority. They vary from the power to create rules and regulations based on the statutes that legislative authorities put into effect. This is something that you need to be very familiar with first so you won't have a hard time in the other things that you need to learn about it.
Right after an administrative law is given then these bodies also have the power to grant licenses and permits, begin investigations and provide remedies to complaints. It can also allow you to oversee the conduct of the business of government and issue orders to parties to comply with certain rules or laws. Truly this law has such wide effect and that this should be handled careful so that no other thing can ever stop it from making equal and just law toward those who are working in the government. In fact, administrative law judges are government officials who act under quasi-judicial powers in conducting hearings, issuing findings of fact and issuing orders of compliance. These people are perfect for the job and so you need to trust them that they will do nothing but protect you.
In addition, it is less open to review than civil or criminal law in most countries, but there generally is a process of review. If you want to be part of it then it is very crucial that you read and understand everything that has to do with this law. You can get all the review about it through online sites or you can also purchase a book that talks about this. If you are uncertain then you can always ask those whom you know are really good in implementing this kind of law. There is such thing as procedures for judicial review. This usually works in conjunction with legislation or other legal doctrines that create the standard for proper rule making that will not only benefit some people but everybody.
The best thing about this law is that it also allows administrative bodies to review the decisions. In this way everything can be certain before they were formally implemented. The people who are reviewing it are among those who are expert enough to determine if there is anything wrong with it and can easily give another alternative. There might be times where administrative appeal is different from judicial review in that judicial review that is being allowed in the court but you can be assured that everything is seriously considered and so there is no need for you to worry at all. You can be certain that this law is given not to cause any harm to you and to anyone else for that matter, instead it is for your own benefit.
Learning about administrative law and other laws are very beneficial. It can help you protect your own right while understanding that others have their own rights too. At the end of the day, it is always a matter of respecting other people's opinions while you are protecting yours too. You need to make yourself be aware of these things so you can also gain all the benefits that come along with it.

- Follow historians and archeologists as they search for evidence of Arthur.
- An epic quest for the truth about the most famous king in history.
- See how a 12th century cleric created a vision of royalty that persists to this day.
In a country that has seen more than its share of storied monarchs, he reigns supreme. His name conjures up visions of chivalry and honor, his kingdom symbolizes all that is right and good, and his exploits are celebrated in story, song and celluloid. But did he ever exist?
QUEST FOR KING ARTHUR traces the many threads that make up the Arthurian tapestry, examining the exploits of historical figures like the Roman commander Artorius Castus and the influential works of Geoffrey of Monmouth and Sir Thomas Malory. But the "real" Arthur remains elusive, even as different visions of the mythic king come into focus. Drawing on ancient accounts and the latest theories of today's scholars, QUEST FOR KING ARTHUR crosses the British Isles to illuminate a hero who may never have existed.

Getting to see "Old School Slayer Night" was perfect for me as 85-90 was when my musical taste was developed and I know the lyrics of every album front to back from that time period. Absolutely all my favorites! The pit was a little active throughout the show but I can tell that the Slayer audience is getting a little older as I ...

Fuck Yeah!! Not only is it my favorite Slayer album, but its my favorite thrash metal album!! & check out MY rendition of the song Hell Awaits... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFWZX_AB_ng & Share with the world \m/
This album actually makes you feel like you're in Hell. The evil sounding intro sets the mood and the demons come out through the music and lyrics. You can tell that Slayer is on to something but they haven't quite got there yet. I can't really name any stand out songs because I think they are all good. Kill again gets me going though.
fuckin rulez!!!!!!!
one of the best album of Slayer!
The album that set the bench mark for reign in blood, I thaught this was it but reign in blood just punches you in the face with a god damn BANG! killer album love "Hell Awaits"
aqui m entra el demonio ....buenisimo
my best slayer album
A classic in the making. When you listen back to this now and you know what Slayer were gonna do next, it's like watching a child grow up and mature. Again, for me the production lets it down but that was how things were at the time and if you went back and remixed it using todays methods it would be a different beast!!! Still killer tunes though.....
One Of The Most Sinister Albums Ever Personaly My Favorite
A perfect album, makes you feel the aggression inside. Title song is one of my favourites, HELL AWAITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bees make honey from flower nectar, so different flowers naturally give different flavors to the honey you keep on your shelf. More than 300 unique varieties of honey have been identified, but Sue Bee Honey – which tests and blends honey in a state-of-the-art laboratory – makes it easy for you by offering seven varieties. If you're a fan of nature's perfect sweetener, you owe it to yourself to try each one!
Sue Bee Clover Honey has always been the most popular kind, derived from white and yellow sweet clovers then filtered and blended to have the light color and delicate flavor that most of us know as honey. Packaged in several sizes and styles (the bear and no-drip table servers are favorites), clover honey is Sue Bee's flagship variety.
Sue Bee Natural Pure Honey is clover honey too, but strained rather than filtered. That means the natural complement of pollen gathered by the bees is still there in the honey. Use Sue Bee Natural Pure honey to sweeten a hearty cup of coffee in the morning or as an energy boost to enhance sport drinks.
Aunt Sue's Raw Honey is honey from the nectar of wildflowers, so it's darker in color and has an all-natural, robust flavor. It's also unfiltered, so the pollen adds to the authenticity. Try this when you're baking hearty bran muffins or granola bars for a full-bodied taste. When you're glazing a meat dish, the darker color provides a richer caramelized appearance.
Aunt Sue's Organic Honey is the ultimate in all-natural taste, and no wonder – it's unfiltered and it comes from the nectar of organically grown plants. It's perfect for dipping organic apple slices or for use in baked goods and other recipes you want to be all-organic.
Sue Bee Orange Honey is a pure, filtered product that gets its distinctive flavor from the nectar of orange blossoms. Chefs have known for centuries that the tang of citrus makes a wonderful complement to honey – try it in fruit salad recipes, in light frostings or in baked goods.
Sue Bee Sage Honey is also pure, filtered honey, but it comes from the nectar of sage shrubs growing along the California coast and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It's light-colored and has a delicate and mild flavor. Try it in turkey and other poultry or meat dishes, and it's said to go well with strong cheeses. Doesn't sage honey sound perfect for sweetening a cup of tea on a rainy afternoon?
Sue Bee Spun Honey is pure, filtered clover honey – like the flagship variety – that has been allowed to granulate under controlled conditions. The result is a smooth, easy-to-spread texture that goes on toast like butter or jelly, without dripping or drizzling. It's a breakfast favorite. If you're a believer in applying honey to minor nicks and scrapes – honey keeps bacteria out and moisture in – Sue Bee Spun Honey is more convenient to use than the liquid form.
More ideas? Let us know your favorite kind of Sue Bee Honey and a way to use it someone else might enjoy!

Please note that the list of approved cars only lists car models that the ISOfix base can be technically installed in, providing approved ISOfix points are fitted and available.
