Clean Run Magazine - July 2009 - 7

Everything you always wanted to know about agility By Brenna Fender ? I heard that some Clean Run articles are now available online. Is this true? Can I read articles from the magazine on the website? In April, Clean Run activated the Magazine Forum section of the website. Go to www.cleanrun.com and select Magazine Forum from the home page. Or, if you’re already in the store, there’s a menu at the top of the screen that allows you to switch between the Store, Magazine Forum, Clean Run Course Designer, and Events sections of the website. With changing technologies and so much information delivered via the web, it’s not practical to cover timely events in the printed magazine. Plus, not all of the articles that are submitted can fit in the printed magazine. So the forum includes news stories and exclusive feature articles (one each month) that have not been published in the magazine. There are also, however, PDF reprints of popular articles from the magazine available in the Articles section of the forum. These articles may be distributed to your club members, students, and so on. There is a searchable magazine index, an article index, videos, and other resources. The complete magazine is not available on the website. If you prefer to read Clean Run on your computer rather than on paper, consider a digital subscription. For an annual cost of $19.95, subscribers receive the magazine delivered to their computer every month. The digital edition includes the same content as the paper version. The digital magazine is delivered in an easy-to-use format that offers some advantages over the traditional paper format. It arrives earlier each month, it can’t be damaged or lost, it contains live web links to related material and advertisers, and keywords are searchable within an issue and through back issues. Do you have a question about agility rules or anything else agility related? Mail your questions to Brenna Fender: brennafender@gmail.com Brenna collects the questions and forwards them to us so we never see the names. Digital issues can be printed; you can also zoom in on a digital page to make the font bigger for easy reading. While you don’t have to download each issue to read it (you can access it through your browser), you have the option to download it to your computer for offline reading or travel. To access digital issues of Clean Run, your computer must meet some minimum requirements, including having an Intel Pentium II 450MHz or faster processor (or equivalent), a web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari), a high-speed Internet connection, and more. For details, visit www.cleanrun. com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ ID=1006. Or go to the Clean Run store, click Magazine, New Subscriptions, Digital Editions, and then click on the Requirements tab on the left. You may purchase a digital subscription using the same links. Is there no teeter obstacle in NADAC trials right now? NADAC representative Becky Woodruff says, “The teeter is not currently being used and will not be returning to NADAC unless we see a trend for more consistency in teeter design/performance.” D NOTE: While it is not permissible to make copies of Clean Run magazine, we wish to give readers permission to make copies of this particular column for personal use. This means you are free to share copies of this column with students, friends, or club members. The information may also be included in not-for-profit newsletters as long as credit is given to Clean Run. July 09 | Clean Run 7
