Whew, I am overwhelmed this week. I didn't get to finish my screening data, yet, and the Users' Conference is upon us and folks are still signing up. I worked on a PCC Facebook page (hey, go become a fan!). We had our league swim meet on Saturday and...
The Verden Quarterly Report (Q2 2008) has been released! This is an amazing resource and the little comments about each ranking (in the blue box, off to the side of each page) are quite enlightening. And the price is right. Note that Oxford gets a mo...

If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
