 Australia bucks trend for easier Olympic qualifying - www.smh.com.au
Athletics Australia selectors are reconsidering the qualifying standards for the Athens Olympic Games after the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) this week softened some of the minimum entry requirements.
The IAAF has listened to worldwide criticism of its field event requirements, which meant athletes had to virtually perform a world top six effort to make the standard, relaxing its marks in the pole vault, long jump, men's triple jump, discus throw, javelin, men's hammer throw, marathons, walks, men's 1500 metres and men's 3000m steeplechase.
But the IAAF has delayed making changes to the marathon course requirements until 2008, meaning the entry mark posted by Magnus Michelsson in the Melbourne marathon will stand.

This option must be associated with a specific client instance, which means that it must be specified either in a client instance config file using --client-config-dir or dynamically generated using a --client-connect script.
The goal of this option is to provide a long-term association between clients (denoted by their common name) and the virtual IP address assigned to them from the ifconfig-pool.
Since OpenVPN provides the association between virtual IP or MAC address and the client's authenticated common name, it allows a user-defined script to configure firewall access policies with regard to the client's high-level common name, rather than the low level client virtual addresses.
