What Factors Will Affect Your Life Insurance Policy?
Example #1 – Are You Bankrupt?
Filing for bankruptcy can be a daunting task for many people. Therefore, one should know the kind of information that he or she should provide in order to protect his or her assets.
A life insurance policy is a very valuable property that one may have at his or her procession. This is because creditors may be interested in acquiring a share of interest generated by the policy's values. However, there are federal and state laws that protect life insurance against the claims made by the creditors.
Types of Bankruptcy
There are two types of bankruptcy. These are chapter 7 and13. A chapter 13 bankruptcy is where one can hold on to his or her assets and are not subjected to risk of losing the property. However, one must repay some of the debts for a period of three to five years. If the cash value for the insurance is more than the rate of exemption in the state the individual is living, chapter 13 is the best option. There is a mean test that is usually done during filing of bankruptcy. If one passes the test one is eligible to filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy. One has to liquidate his or her assets for a period of four months by law. This means that the insurance can be affected.
One of the worst scenarios is where one is liquidating his or her assets then proceeds to borrow money from their retirement funds and life insurance. These are the only assets that are always protected at the time of bankruptcy. During the filing of bankruptcy, it is important to disclose everything including cash value of his or her life insurance policy. If one fails to do that, there is a high risk of losing the assets.
Under the federal and state bankruptcy law, one filing for bankruptcy may choose exemptions under the former, but not both laws. Under the exemptions; one can protect almost $10,775 cash value of life insurance.
How to Qualify and File
In order to be eligible to file bankruptcy under state protections, you must be considered a resident and live in a state for 24 months.
In order to be eligible for bankruptcy filing under state protections, one must be a resident and living in the state for 24 hours. In some states like Illinois, whole life insurance cannot be interfered with by the creditors such that it can provide support to the dependent. However, legal interpretation entirely relies on the sitting bankruptcy judge.
In summary, bankruptcy can interfere to some extent with life insurance depending on the type of bankruptcy filed, state and federal laws and the decisions of the bankruptcy presiding judge. False information concerning the cash value of life insurance that one owns can also interfere with life insurance.
Examples #2 – How Much Do You Weigh?
Insurance companies offering life insurance policies look at the trends in population health and lifestyle to help them calculate their rates. Anything that is likely to affect someone's life span such as body weight is therefore factored in.
It is important to know if your weight is at a level considered to be healthy before applying for a life insurance policy. A consultation with a doctor should guide you on what the healthy weight range is at your age and height. The healthy weight range is based on a comparison of height to weight ratio as the America Medical Association dictates. Your weight to height ratio affects the rate of your life insurance premiums.
What Insurance Companies Analyze
Insurance companies factor in the weight of life insurance policy applicants purely for medical reasons. Since statistics indicate that overweight people with high levels of cholesterol puts them in a high-risk category. Being overweight is an important factor for insurance companies since it may be the cause of several other medical conditions that could potentially be life threatening. These include diabetes, heart disease, and liver disease. Insurance providers consider weight to be a strong indicator of future medical issues. It is noteworthy that they also use other medical details of the applicant to calculate the insurance premiums.
Before applying for life insurance coverage, you should take measures to lose weight to be able to get better rates. It is worth waiting some time to apply until you feel comfortable with your weight. Buying a life insurance policy when you are classified as overweight does not mean that the policy will remain that way indefinitely. You can apply for a fresh medical exam so that the insurance company may revise your rates. This move may lead to your rates being adjusted to more affordable ones.
Advantages From Living Healthy
As an incentive to drive people to lose weight, insurance companies introduced an option for people to get better rates by proving that they can live a healthier lifestyle. This is beneficial to both parties since the policy holder will have an affordable rate for premiums and the insurance company will benefit from having healthier clients. This reduces the risk taken by the insurance company to hold the insurance policy for the client. The client will eventually save a considerable amount of money in the long run.
Living a healthier lifestyle will ensure that the policy holder reduces weight, which causes several medical conditions. Companies that offer life insurance policies offer different rates because of the methods they use to calculate the rate for premiums. It is advisable to get quotes from several companies with detailed information on how weight affects individual companies' calculations. This will ultimately lead you making the best decision about which company has the best insurance policy for you.
Example #3 – You Are Getting a Divorce
Divorce is an issue that can make things difficult on a family, but it can also complicate matters financially. Most people in this situation have to deal with splitting up a family house, assets, savings and debt but often overlook life insurance policies. If you have a life insurance policy and you get a divorce, a few different factors must be evaluated.
If you settle the divorce outside of court, you may get to decide what to do with the insurance policy on their own. You and your spouse can work out what happens to the policy. If you let the courts decide what happens to your financial assets, you will have to do what the court says in regards to your policy. Sometimes the court will require you to maintain a life insurance policy with your ex-spouse as the beneficiary as a way to guarantee that alimony or child support is paid if you pass away.
When you get a divorce with a life insurance policy, you have to consider the beneficiary of the policy. As long as the court does not require you to keep your ex-spouse as a beneficiary on the policy, you have the legal right to change the beneficiary at any time. You will simply have to contact the insurance company and ask for a beneficiary designation change form. For example, if you get a divorce and then remarry, you may not necessarily want your ex-spouse to be the beneficiary on your life insurance policy. Because of this, you can change the beneficiary to your new spouse. If you forget to change the beneficiary on your life insurance policy, the money could go to your ex-spouse unexpectedly.
If you purchase a whole life insurance policy or some other type of policy that includes a cash value, this could lead to further issues when getting a divorce. Typically, when you file for divorce, you will have to split all of your assets in half. If your life insurance policy has a cash value, your spouse would be entitled to half of that amount.
When this happens, you have a few different options to consider. One option is to cash out the policy and give your spouse half of the value. Another option is to keep the policy and take out a policy loan for half of the cash value. With this approach, you would be able to keep the policy intact and repay the policy loan over time. A third option is to use other assets that you have to pay off your spouse for half of the policy value.
Regardless of what happens to your existing life insurance policy during a divorce, you have to reevaluate your need after the divorce is complete. If you are going to be single without any beneficiaries to be concerned with, you may not need another life insurance policy right away. If you still have kids to take care of or a new spouse, making sure that you are covered in some way should be a priority.

Correllus Earns NSCAA All-Southeast Region Honors
FORT MYERS, Fla. – FGCU women's soccer senior defender KC Correllus (Merritt Island, Fla./Satellite HS/Florida State) was named to the 2011 NSCAA All-Southeast Region team after leading the Eagles' to their second straight A-Sun regular season title and first-ever A-Sun tournament championship.
Correllus made her way onto the All-Region second team with players from ACC foes Duke, Wake Forest, North Carolina and Maryland.
"I am really proud that KC continues to get the recognition she deserves after a fantastic season for us anchoring our backline," said head coach Jim Blankenship. "In three years for us, she has never missed a game and has played as hard as anyone I have ever coached. KC will go down as one of the best players in FGCU history and she will be missed next year."
After helping FGCU to an impressive 7-1-1 record in conference play, Correllus was a unanimous selection to the A-Sun All-Conference first team. The native of Merritt Island, Fla. was the center defender in a backline who helped limit conference opponents to just one goal in league play and a program-best 12 shutouts, en route to the league title and automatic NCAA berth.
The All-Region accolade is the second of her career after earning first team honors last season. Correllus finishes her career as a three-time A-Sun All-Conference first team selection, A-Sun Player and Defensive player of the Year in 2010 and holds three FGCU records in minutes played (6502), games started (74) and games played (74).
The FGCU women's soccer team ended the 2011 campaign with a program-best 14-5-2 overall record, while also claiming back-to-back A-Sun regular season titles and earning their first-ever A-Sun tournament championship. FGCU won the championship off a dramatic goal in double-overtime sending the Eagles into the NCAA Championship for the first time in the school's history.

The Philadelphia Union will play the final 50 or so minutes with 10 men as Jordan Harvey has received a straight red card for allegedly stomping on San Jose Earthquakes defender Chris Leitch in the 42nd minute. On the play, Leitch went sliding toward Harvey trying to win a free ball. Harvey pulled up short and appeared to make a stomping motion toward Leitch, who at that point was laying on the ground. Leitch retaliated by kicking at Harvey, but did not receive any card.
The card was the fourth of the match and the third for the Union, although Harvey had not been involved in any of them. There had been an incident several minutes earlier that resulted in both Union goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon and Earthquakes midfielder Brandon McDonald each receiving yellow cards. Those cards were the result of a shouting match between Mondragon and McDonald after the goalkeeper took offense to a challenge from Chris Wondolowski.

The Reds remain in line to sweep the board, for the second successive season, with qualification for the Barclays Under-21 Premier League knockout stage and a place in the Manchester Senior Cup final already assured.
United, with several Under-18 regulars drafted in, took control of the game early on and rarely loosened their grip against a visiting side that sported no fewer than five trialists in their ranks.
Gyliano van Velzen and Tom Lawrence were presented with decent chances to open the scoring soon after the start, but the visitors defended well to prevent any concessions. However, the feeling was that it was only going to be a matter of time before United would strike.
And so it was, in the 26th minute, that the home side moved into the lead with Lawrence firing home from the penalty spot after being fouled by the Latics' Jack Truelove.
United were on their way, and five minutes before the interval the lead was extended when van Velzen capitalised on lapse of concentration in the Oldham defence to round the keeper and net. Mats Daehli also found the net, following a session of neat passing football, in the 62nd minute, to put the game well and truly out of the visitors' reach.
United introduced three young substitutes during the second half of the game, but it did little to change the pattern of the game.
On a slightly brighter note for Oldham, they did have something to celebrate with four minutes

16 oz. bottle served in a ping glass.
A - Pours a very dark brown with lighter than expected tan head. Head has good duration and leaving plenty of lacing.
S - A nice spicy citrus hop aroma with plentiful chocolate malt notes and some aroma of baked bread.
T- The flavor is less hoppy and more malty than indicated by the aroma. The rye component comes forth in the flavor. Mild-moderate bitterness,,with a fair amount of roast and chocolate malt character, particularly in the finish.
M - The body is medium with a nice moderate level of carbonation.
O - A very fine black rye IPA with sensory characteristics that match the proclaimed style, if a bit less hoppy than the usual IPA.

On tap at the Mellow here in G-boro.Poured into a standard pint glass a deep chocolate brown with a half finger off white head atop,mild leafy hop and earthy tones in the nose,the rye is subdued.Flavors are a good mix of dark bread,bitter chocolate,and herbal/citric hops,all come together pretty well.The hops dont "strike" to hard but its a nice well rounded rye/CDA hybrid to be had.

I poured this into a pint glass. The head was about 1-2 fingers, creamy with some lacing....contrary to other reviews, this had light carbonation and a seemingly thinner head. This combined with the black and hazy finish made an pleasing appearance. I took many liberal whiffs of this beer and I came across what seemed to be a strong and inviting toasty and smoky aroma with a slight sweet smell. I tasted dark fruit and pine. Beer had a decent amount of appealing flavors that did not linger too long. . The beer was relatively smooth with an above average full bodied sense...but not overpowering. Hops and malts seemed to be very balanced. I may try this again a bit warmer sample... initially it may have been too cold.

Notes from 2/2/11; No freshness date
A - Pours a very dark brown, but not black, with a good three fingers of head. Head has decent retention.
S - Hops are prominent but are nicely balanced by chocolate malt. Smell is actually pretty subdued.
T - Wow, this is a pretty meaty brew on first taste. The chocolate malts seems to come through the most, followed by the spiciness of the rye, with hops not really coming through until the finish, but lingering nicely on the tongue when they do show up. Kind of works well together, but a bit of a hodgepodge as well.
M - Medium, very malty mouthfeel, with some lingering hop bitterness.
O - Certainly not easy drinking, or something I would come back to (though this is, admittedly, not my favorite style), but a pretty decent brew that I am glad to have tried.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a smallish off white head that quickly diminishes to a thin film that leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is sweet roasted malts, rye and a little chocolate.
The flavor is heavy tarry bitter roast with some sweet malt, and some rye comes out in the strong bitter aftertaste. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, the flavors don't mesh at all. It just tastes weird with the harsh tarry bitterness, spicy rye and sweet malt.

12 ounce bottle, "Best By" dating on the side of the label
Pours very dark brown, frothy tan head, slow to settle, leaves a nice thick collar, fine sheeting and spots of lace.
Complex nose with hints of chocolate malts, and citric hops.
Sniff leads to the palate, with more chocolate and citrus picked up.
Carbonation is on point and I'd say this is on the slightly heavier side of the mouthfeel scale.
Better then average hoppy black ale (they call it a black IPA on the label). Worth a try.

Poured into teku glass; jet black in the glass with a tight medium cream-colored head that barely fades at all, and leaves rings of dense, delicate lacing when it finally does.
Smell is dry metallic dark roasted malt, hint of coffee, and some slight piney/herbal hops.
Taste is sweet chocolate malt, hint of bitter coffee, and a bittersweet herbal/pine hoppy IPA finish.
Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated and medium-full.
Overall, this "black IPA" is a little more towards the simple black ale side of the black ale spectrum. Needs more hops in my opinion to be a black IPA, but it's still a pretty good black ale.

Best by March 5th, pours a nearly black color with amber ruby highlights shining through the glass, head is a light khaki tan color, forming fine even speckled lacing patterns. Aroma has an earthy spicy dankness going on with complementary rye character going on this beer smells pretty good. A mild black IPA with spicy rye notes in the finish, upfront herbal/citric hops catch my palate and the dark roasted malts carry everthing along until it finishes with that classic spicy rye character. My first black rye IPA, and it works pretty well. Great herbal hops, citric green fresh hop quality with the dark roasted malts profile offering a touch of dark chocolate roasted malt character. Mouthfeel has a nice rolling dry character with spiced rye edges, even flowing carbonation with slick hop oils. Overall very enjoyable beer that I need to try more of, I'm not a big Tommyknocker fan but this is fantastic black IPA.

12oz. bottle served cold into a pint glass.
Hop Strike is a very dark murky brown color. The head is creamy but settles quickly. Good lacing left behind.
Aroma is nice and hoppy, very little roasted malt character.
Flavor is a bit of a let down after the hoppy aroma. It's a lighter porter type of body with good hop bitterness but not as much in the flavor.
Mouthfeel is medium-light in body and nicely carbonated.
Overall a decent black IPA but not one of the better ones.

On tap at the Village Draft House
Arrived in a 12oz chalice; pitch black with a thin lacing of brown head. The nose is very pleasing; roasted malts, a hint of chocolate, and floral hops. The taste is very similar; roasted malts up front with a clean, floral finish with hints of chocolate. As the beer warms, there are some noticeable peppery characteristics that come from the rye. It's medium bodied, moderately carbonated, and very smooth.
This beer has a little of everything that I love. I'm a huge fan of the Black IPA movement and I'm also a huge fan of rye beers. The rye is subdued until the beer warms leaving one with the impression that this is just another decent black IPA. Once the beer warms though the rye is noticeable and works so well with the roasted malts and the hop character. This is a beer worth checking out!

Here in colorado we have a thing called snow. After it falls and fills the streets of Interstate-70 which serpentines between the gorgeous ski areas of Summit County (Vail, Breck, Keystone etc.) our 4-wheel drive machines churn and mix that pristine white into a browned out slurry of cold slush. And that my friends it what tops off this beer. 3 fingers of it rest over an almost lightless black ale...Robust, roasted malts and pine cone cocoa nibs make up the nose, which is highly tantalizing. A good portion of coffee and cocoa create a base taste that sets up the rye style hop bitterness perfectly.
Heres the most beautiful thing about this beer, it is so darn balanced you don't even notice it is a whole 78 IBU's. If asked to guess I would have placed it around 45 or so do to the maltiness counterbalancing on the other side.
OK Tommyknockers you got me this time. Great presentation, great nose, flavor and body.

LEHIGH ACRES: The brush fire burning in Lehigh Acres near the intersection of Quebec Street and Lathem Drive has been contained.
The fire was only thirty acres and is contained.
For one couple who lives near the area, what was supposed to be one of the most exciting days of their lives, quickly turned into one of the scariest.
Katie Peede and her fiancé were in Fort Myers getting their marriage license Friday afternoon when she got the call.
"She just called and said, 'You got to hurry up and come home your backyard is on fire,'" Peede said.
The couple hurried out, but not without one very important item.
"We got it in like three seconds, our marriage license, and came home," she said.
That's when they saw the smoke billowing right behind their home near Lathem Drive in Lehigh Acres.
Their neighbors outside were also surprised at what they saw.
"My heart was racing," said homeowner Christopher Messier.
He explained he hurried home from work once his wife alerted him to the fact that their home could be in danger.
"Sure enough the sky was black and there was a big fire," he said.
The fire marshal says the fire started in this area and quickly spread 30 acres. While there do tend to be smaller brush fires in the area from time to time, the fire marshal says this was the biggest yet.
But was nothing compared to the April 2006 fire that destroyed 12 homes. That's the last time so many resources were put into action to save structures.
"Usually one or two trucks can handle it but this fire took all of the resources we had in Lehigh," said Fire Marshal Ken Bennett. "The fact that we haven't had any rain recently to speak of has dried things out."
He also says the fire is suspicious and that they, along with Division of Forestry, will work to determine a cause next week.

VIENNA, Ohio - A Trumbull County family claims a cemetery buried their loved one in the wrong place.
Crown Hill Burial Park agreed to cover the costs to move Frank Campbell to his correct grave site.
Today, his coffin was moved to a plot under his name where the family says they intended for him to rest in peace.
Campbell's daughter, Marie Wallace, says her mother and the rest of the family should not have to grieve all over again.
"That was not dad's wishes - and for her to go through this again - she's going to be 80 years-old pretty soon," she says. "This is really hard on her and it's a trickle down effect. Losing dad for her was hard."
A cemetery spokesperson tells 21 News that a preliminary test of the plot indicated there might have been another vault at his intended lot.
The spokesperson says incidents like this happen from time to time due to an outdated paperwork system.

The Atlanta Braves have pitching depth like no other team, with the possible exception of the Rays. Even with Tim Hudson scheduled to miss the first month of the season, the Braves are still excluding pitchers from their rotation that other teams would be thrilled to have. This brings up an honest question: Why don't the Braves trade some of that depth for something they really need, like a shortstop?
Here's why. Pitchers tend to break without a lot of warning. From Buster Olney:
Arodys Vizcaino getting Tommy John surgery, says ATL GM Frank Wren.
Vizcaino is the #2 prospect in the Braves' system according to Baseball America, and one of the arms that the Braves refused to give up for Michael Bourn last summer. He played at four levels last year, including a 17-game stint at the major-league level, where he struck out 17 batters in 17 innings.
The Braves will still have Julio Teheran and Randall Delgado in reserve once Hudson returns, but Vizcaino will be out for at least a year.

Cub Scout Pack 160, chartered by the Oak Hill PTA, is made up of approximately 100 first grade through fifth grade boys and their families, mostly from the Oak Hill Elementary School area in Fairfax County, Virginia. We are part of the Boy Scouts of America, and have a long tradition of providing lots of fun activities for young boys.
Our goal is to provide a year-round scouting program that will be fun for your son, as well as being a learning and growing experience. Everything we do, at each level of the Cub Scout program, is to prepare your son for advancement to the next level of scouting. Eventually, this leads to the Boy Scout Program, which boys enter near the end of the 5th grade or when they reach age 11.
Pack 160 is a very active pack! In addition to monthly Pack meetings and bi-monthly Den meetings, we sponsor a number of special activities that center around the family. Each year we have hikes, family picnics, visits to historical sites or museums, service projects that help others in our school or community, and fun outings. We also sponsor traditional scouting events such as the Blue and Gold Banquet and the Pinewood Derby. Older Cub Scouts may also go on weekend camping trips and a one-week overnight camp in the summer.
The organization of Cub Scout Pack 160 mirrors national guidelines. Boys meet in small groups (dens) of 5 to 9 boys. Each den has an adult leader or leaders and consists of boys in the same grade. First graders are Tiger Cubs; second graders are Wolf Cubs; third graders are Bear Cubs; and fourth and fifth graders are Webelos.
Pack 160, together with about 30 other Cub Scout Packs and 30 Boy Scout Troops in the greater Herndon/ Reston/ Great Falls area make up the Powhatan District. The Powhatan District is one of the 26 subdivisions of the National Capital Area Council, the largest council in the United States. There are over 300 councils in the United States serving over 2,100,000 Cub Scouts and with nearly 600,000 volunteers.
Each Cub Scout Pack is sponsored by a "chartering" organization. Our chartered organization is the Oak Hill PTA. The charter organization provides a representative who is the liaison between the Pack and the organization. The Pack is run by the Pack Committee, which is headed by the Committee Chairman. In Pack 160, all adult leaders are committee members. The Committee meets once each month to plan Pack meetings and other Pack activities. Parents are always welcome at these meetings. The Cubmaster is in charge of the Pack meetings and Pack Program and reports to the committee.
The Den and the Pack can't run without parent involvement! Please give some consideration as to how you would like to participate. You may like to be a den leader, or help arrange an outing for the pack, or coordinate the committee members, or track the advancement of our scouts. The continued success and enthusiasm of Pack 160 depends on the support and participation of all families in the Pack.
What can I do?

On his first day as a free man after spending 42 years in prison, Louis Taylor spoke to the public about his future plans.
He was accused of starting the 1970 Pioneer Hotel fire that killed 29 people. Today, he and his lawyers discussed his issues with Pima County prosecutors and his new goals.
The following Taylor quotes were some highlights and live tweets that we posted from today's press conference that ended just after 3:30 p.m.:
"There's not enough money in the world that could correct this injustice... a lot of stuff went wrong." #PioneerFire
"When I finished college in trade school I was a medical technician." #PioneerFire
"I love Tucson and maybe someday I'll stay here." #PioneerFire
Taylor says when he was arrested, his twin sister ran away and she was found dead in Globe, Ariz.
#LouisTaylor: Talks about how technology has changed. Back then we had 8 tracks.
"The best justice system in the world.. how can I fall in the crack for 42 years?"
"It's a tale of two tragedies: the poor souls who died there and my conviction." #PioneerFire
"I was a smoker and those matches did not start that fire." #PioneerFire
"I just made the best of the worst situation. That's all you can do, just move forward."
"I studied civil law... worked out in dairies...I couldn't give up" #PioneerFire
"I just thank the grace of God that I survived." #PioneerFire
"I never hurt anybody in my whole life. I was a bread winner in my family," #PioneerFire
"I persevered through a lot of adversity. I'm just going to move forward, but soon the world will know I'm innocent."
"The whole world is embracing me. I have a good support system."
"It's good to be out and feel mother earth beneath my feet. I'm just glad I survived."
"I got a dream team, a better team than OJ Simpson for sure."
Reporter: Do you think you'll stay in Tucson? "Well I'm staying in Phoenix, I have a cabin in Sedona. I love this town."
Taylor says he has one more interview tomorrow, then wants a break for a couple of weeks.
Taylor also mentioned that he took a walk in Sabino Canyon and looks forward to each day, including going to a Diamondbacks game tonight.

Could it be the damage occurred when lager louts inside may have thrown empty bottles at young victims of their Dave and George's policies outside on the footpath because they can't afford roofs over their heads and certainly not the drink?
Having said that I have to express full sympathy with every victim of the crime.
Perhaps these Tories may want to see their former member who is now Hampshire's PCC and demand some answer to problem from which many ordinary people suffer all the time, because their ConDem Coalition is reducing the number of police officers and forcing police stations to close down, which in turn is bound to increase crime.

It almost seems as though Jim Milone, winemaker at Terra Sávia, makes organic wines because it's never occurred to him to do otherwise.
"We hate to shower," he joked when asked why organic. But then he got down to business.
"Really, it's just the way that I've been making wine for the past 34 years," he said.
Terra Sávia winery, where Milone makes his wines, is a small outfit out of Hopland, California, in Mendocino County. The winery not only offers a full range of wines, it sells olive oil

Since August 1, 2001, the state of Alabama had the legislative authority to recognize reciprocal concealed weapons permits with other states, due to the passage of Act 2001-494 (Senate Bill 122) which was signed by the Governor on May 15, 2001.
This law allows Alabama concealed weapon permit holders to take their weapons into states which recognize Alabama licenses. It also allows residents of other states to bring their weapons into Alabama as long as the state issuing the license recognizes Alabama's gun licensing law. The chart below provides updated information on which states have such a reciprocal agreement with Alabama. Generally, for another state to reach an agreement with Alabama, both states' licensing laws must be substantially similar. Permit holders are reminded that while carrying a valid concealed handgun in another state, they are bound by that state's law concerning concealed handguns. A permit or license holder from another state shall carry their handgun in compliance with the laws of Alabama while they are in this state.
Please note that not all states have entered into this agreement. If a state does not accept Alabama's concealed handgun licensing laws as substantially similar, the reasons they will not enter into reciprocity with Alabama are listed by numbers and the statement of the REASONS given is set out below this table by the corresponding numbers 1-13.
Note: Please see the statement below regarding other states' NON-RESIDENT concealed handgun licenses.
The following list contains frequent reasons given to our office by states with more stringent concealed handgun licensing laws as to why they will not recognize Alabama concealed handgun licenses. This list is complete and accurate to the best of our knowledge. It will be updated as we obtain additional information or as the laws of either state are changed to add or delete reasons for denial of concealed handgun license reciprocity.
1. Has a statutory requirement of a signed agreement to establish reciprocal recognition of concealed handgun licenses.2. Require by statute that an NCIC background check be done on all applicants for concealed handgun licenses.3. Require fingerprint card to do criminal background check on applicant.4. Require minimum age of applicant for concealed handgun license to be twenty-one (21) years of age.5. Require a centralized, one phone number or on-line database which can give 24/7 verification and status of concealed handgun licenses in Alabama prior to recognizing Alabama concealed handgun licenses.6. They are a "shall issue" state. If an applicant meets the statutory requirements for issue of a concealed handgun license, the state "shall issue" him or her a license. Alabama is a "may issue" state if the Sheriff determines a person has a "proper reason for carrying a pistol, and that he is a suitable person to be so licensed," the Sheriff, "may issue" the person a license. Ala. Code Sec. 13A-11-75. They will not recognize handgun licenses unless they are issued by a state that is also a "shall issue" state.7. Training requirements or proficiency requirements. 5-, 8-, or 16-hour training requirement, and some states require passing a handgun proficiency test.8. Permit must contain biographical information and a photograph of the permittee.9. History of violence is a restricting factor.10. Applicants must meet all requirements of 18 USC 922(g).
18 USC 922(g) is a section of the U.S. Code which states it is unlawful for anyone who is convicted of a felony, who is a fugitive from justice, who is an unlawful user of controlled dangerous substances, who has been adjudicated mentally defective or been committed to a mental institution, who is an illegal alien; who was dishonorably discharged from the Armed Forces, who has renounced his citizenship, or who is under restrictions of a protective order to own or possess a firearm.
11. Applicants must make a sworn application.12. Prohibit convicted felons from obtaining a concealed handgun license.13. Require a mental health background check.
Will Alabama honor a non-resident concealed handgun license in addition to honoring the concealed handgun licenses issued to a resident of one of the states that recognizes and honors Alabama concealed handgun licenses?
Alabama issues concealed handgun licenses only to residents of Alabama, through the sheriff of their county of residence.
Some states, with whom we have reciprocal recognition of concealed handgun licenses, issue handgun licenses not only to residents of their state but also issue "non-resident" concealed handgun licenses to residents of other states.
At the present time, Act 2001-494 does not specifically address the issue of Alabama's recognition of a non-resident handgun license issued by a state with which Alabama has reciprocal recognition of concealed handgun licenses. Nor is there a formal Attorney General's Opinion, or Alabama case law on this subject. If an Alabama law enforcement agency requests and receives an official Attorney General's Opinion that opinion will be available to the public on our web site in the Opinions section.
Until the Legislature, or a court of competent jurisdiction, or an "official" Attorney General's Opinion addresses this question, our office's "unofficial opinion" is that, at this time, Alabama will honor non-resident concealed handgun licenses from a state which recognizes handgun licenses issued to Alabama residents. Since this is a new area of law and subject to change, we do urge caution. It is suggested that persons whose state of residence does not recognize Alabama concealed handgun licenses periodically check our website and the website of the state which issues their non-resident concealed handgun license, as well as being aware of news stories and court cases on the subject.
Download the information below
Following is text from the Department of Public Safety's synopsis of Alabama's pistol law:
The following synopsis of Alabama law is furnished for general information only, and does not constitute legal advice or counsel:
Alabama law prohibits any person from carrying a pistol in any vehicle or concealed on or about their person without a pistol permit license. Ala. Code § 13A-11-73 (1975). Under Alabama law, a "pistol" is defined as "any firearm with a barrel less than 12 inches in length." Licenses to carry a pistol are issued by local county sheriffs in Alabama. A person must be a resident of that county to apply for and be issued a pistol permit license. Alabama as of August 1, 2001 under Act 2001-494 has provisions for recognizing pistol permits or concealed weapon licenses issued by states who will recognize pistol permits issued by Alabama.
The license requirement of section 13A-11-73 does not apply to "regularly employed" law enforcement officers; to members of the armed forces or National Guard while on duty or going to or from duty; to persons engaged in manufacturing, repairing, or dealing in pistols; or to any person permitted by law to possess a pistol while carrying it unloaded in a secure wrapper, from the place of purchase to his home or place of business, or to or from a place of repair or in moving from one place of abode or business to another. Ala. Code § 13A-11-74 (1975).
It is our interpretation of the Code of Alabama that "regularly employed" law enforcement means full time, sworn law enforcement officers. Such persons are exempt from the requirement to possess a permit and may carry their pistols concealed or unconcealed.

Planningtorock | 27/08/14
Jam Rostron, Bolton-born, Berlin-based is welcomed to the Domino Publishing family. The artist behind the multimedia recording and performance project Planningtorock, her 2014 LP 'All Love's Legal' is both an extension of her previous work and a refinement and of its ideas and sonics. Planningtorock has always incorporated politics into her music, but this is by far her most explicitly political record yet. It follows 'W', which was released on DFA in 2011, and her 2006 debut album...
Ty Segall | 27/08/14
Ty Segall returns with another belter after the release of 'Sleeper' (Drag City 2014) which saw Ty have a dramatic change of pace to great effect. 'Manipulator' see's the guitars turned right back up for another fantastically raucous record.
'Atlas' (Domino Records 2014), is the new album by New Jersey's beloved Real Estate. A triumph of highly evocative, perceptive songwriting and graceful, precise musicianship, 'Atlas' carefully refines, and ultimately perfects, the brilliantly distinct artistic vision that made its predecessors 'Days' and Real Estate so unique. The most collaborative Real Estate record to date, 'Atlas' was written by Martin Courtney, Matt Mondanile, Alex Bleeker and Jackson Pollis while cruising through the Arizona desert and during a presser in Madrid, in a practice room in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and in an attic in the band's hometown of Ridgewood, New Jersey. It was recorded in the summer (naturally) of...

RAFAEL BEJARANO, NORVSKY, WINNER: "We were going really slow in the beginning and I was wondering if the pace would stay that way. So I just tried to get in close and not stay too far back. At the half-mile pole I was trying to improve my position, and when I got to the stretch my horse showed me a big kick. I knew he was going to win the race then. My horse is still learning, and I think the perfect distance for him is either a mile and one sixteenth, or a mile and an eighth. He's always doing very good at both distances."
DON WARREN, NORVSKY, WINNER: "I was as surprised as anybody, because I didn't think he could beat a good horse like Jeranimo. I really respect Jeranimo and The Usual Q.T. I didn't have to bring out Acclamation to beat those two, so I'm very happy with the outcome today.
"It turned out (the race set up well), the way they were ding-donging it, those two (Jeranimo and The Usual Q.T.) up there in front, even though they were going only in 48 and change (48.41). But it's all a matter if you're ding-donging it head and head, how fast you go doesn't matter. When you're racing, you're racing and it's taking something out of you. That's why I like when I run Acclamation. I prefer him on the lead two or three lengths, because you're not going head and head. They don't really know they're racing.
"Like I said, I'm surprised that this horse could beat horses like Jeranimo and The Usual Q.T. It's impressive."
MIKE PENDER, JERANIMO, 7-10 FAVORITE, SECOND: "This was the first time he was even on the lead by himself. Going in we knew he might get a little confused by it and he did. He didn't know what he was doing out there. He usually has a target. He runs better with a target, but you've got to take the race as it shapes up. There was no speed in there and he inherited the lead."
NOTES: The winning owners are Bud and Judy Johnston of Ontario, CA, and Robert Riggio of Riverside, CA.

Washington (AP) — The FBI says it has rescued 105 children who were forced into prostitution in the United States and arrested 150 people it described as pimps and others in a series of raids in 76 American cities.
The campaign, known as "Operation Cross Country," was the largest of its type and conducted under the FBI's "Innocence Lost" initiative. The assistant director of the FBI's criminal investigative division, Ron Hosko, said that child prostitution remains what he called a "persistent threat" to children across America.
The FBI said the campaign has resulted in rescuing 2,700 children since 2003.

high crop Question

high crop Question
I'm looking for a cub ,so far my only local options have been a high crop and assorted wrecks. Is the high crop a row instrument only? can a typical Flail or belly mower be used? Does it negate the use of a front end loader or other implement? I may have to live with only one cub for a while. I currently do not own a cub now but I've got the bug.I thought my MF165 would be the smallest tractor I'd own.
If all else looks good to you, go for the hi-crop! Quickly! It can be easily converted to standard by swapping wheels with one of the many who want them. The only thing different will be the front axle that's a little wider than standard. You could probably even swap that if you wanted to.
By making the swaps you may recover part of your cost.

In New York, Mayor Bloomberg, the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP, Monday issued evacuation orders for 375,000 people and opened 76 shelters.
On 57th Street, a crane on a 90-story residential building under construction partially collapsed and was dangling over the street near Carnegie Hall. No injuries were reported.
With Lower Manhattan almost a ghost town for a second day, seawater cascaded into the still-gaping construction pit at the World Trade Center, the AP reported Tuesday.
Off North Carolina's Outer Banks, one person was killed and another was missing after the crew of the HMS Bounty, a replica of the vessel that was the scene of a 1789 mutiny, abandoned ship when it capsized in 18-foot seas.
In New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie ordered evacuations of coastal barrier islands and casinos in Atlantic City, which was flooded. A large number of people were stranded as water levels rose. Christie said further evacuations from Atlantic City and the barrier island would be impossible until daylight.
In Connecticut, New London Mayor Daryl Finizio told WFSB television that Sandy was worse than the Great New England Hurricane of 1938. That storm, which produced tides of as much as 25 feet, killed 564, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. New Haven radio station WTNH reported two state residents, a firefighter and an 80-year-old woman, killed from falling trees.
"Thousands of people are stranded," said Gov. Dannel Malloy at a news briefing Monday night.
In Maryland, Gov. Martin O'Malley said the state was fortunate to escape the worst blows of the storm. There were two fatalities — one caused by a traffic accident, the second by a felled tree — and the state will continue to face flooding in areas over the next two days, he said.
"We were not hit as hard as all of us had anticipated," he told reporters today. "We were fortunate to have been on the weaker end of this storm."

At a news conference Monday afternoon, Florence Police Chief Ron Tyler explained why he banned the head volunteer from the Florence-Lauderdale Animal Shelter.
Tyler said he took the action because of several cases in which the volunteer, Debbie Raphun, was insubordinate to shelter employees. After 30 days, the volunteer's status will be reviewed.
"Nothing else at the shelter has changed," he said. "Volunteers are welcome, fosters are welcome, and rescues are welcome."
Volunteers have spent the last five years working to change the culture at the animal shelter, and he gave them credit for helping bring the operation from a high-kill to low-kill facility. Tyler said the shelter needs structure and better management to save as many animals as they can and be certain that tens of thousands of dollars in donations are closely accounted for.
"It's important for volunteers to understand the structure," Tyler said. "They are not the ones who drive the ship. The employees are the ones who drive the ship, and they're there to support us. You can't have a volunteer that goes around and challenges everything that the paid, employed supervisor does. It's not acceptable."
He said it would be irresponsible for him to hand the operations of a city department over to a group of volunteers.
"No volunteer anywhere is going to be allowed to undermined or challenge the leader of the organization. It's not going to happen at the Florence Animal Control either. They just have to buy into it. We're on board with them. They just have to buy into it," he said.
Tyler defended an employee, Sgt. Melissa Beasley, who he said has received "many crude, harassing, and angry comments" despite merely following his instructions.
The shelter was investigated by the Alabama Board of Veterinary Medicine in response to a formal complaint. Tyler said no violations were discovered, but he met with a group of local veterinarians to hear their concerns about the daily management and operation of the shelter.
Raphun said she just returned from a family trip and was surprised when told of the ban on Jan. 10 because no one had approached her about any issues.
"I was completely shocked," she said. "I'm not really sure why the city and the county are against me. I thought this would make them look better, make them proud."

Single-payer would require up to $2.18B in taxesBy Neal P. Goswami
Vermont Press Bureau | February 07,2014MONTPELIER Taxpayers will need to raise between $1.77 billion and $2.18 billion to cover the costs of Gov. Peter Shumlins proposed single-payer health care system, according to a consensus cost estimate revealed Thursday.
The consensus figures fall between the estimates of two earlier reports. An analysis by the University of Massachusetts for the Shumlin administration pegged the cost at about $1.6 billion.
A report by Avalere Health on behalf of a group of stakeholders including hospitals, doctors and business interests estimated the cost to be as high as $2.2 billion.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding, Deputy Director of Health Reform Michael Costa and Stephen Klein, chief fiscal officer with the Joint Fiscal Office, presented the latest estimate for the planned Green Mountain Care system to two House committees Thursday afternoon.
Costa said the consensus numbers are built upon assumptions in the UMass report. A number of issues need further review, however, leading to the wide range, he said.
The UMass report and the consensus cost both include an assumption that providers would be paid 105 percent of Medicare rates. Detractors say that number will have to be significantly higher or the state could lose doctors. The consensus cost will rise if lawmakers choose to pay providers more.
Meanwhile, Klein said it remains unclear whether an existing tax on medical providers will continue under the proposed single-payer system. If not, the state faces a $157 million loss of money currently relied upon. The loss of revenue from the provider tax is considered a low to moderate risk, according to a document distributed to lawmakers Thursday.
Other major factors include a reserve fund for the health care system and the costs for implementation and transitioning to the new system.
Klein told the House Health Care and House Ways and Means committees on Thursday that theres an open question of whether the system would need reserves.
If the state needs a 5 percent reserve of nonfederal costs, an additional $125 million will need to be raised.
The UMass report estimated a need for $50 million in implementation and transition funding. The consensus cost puts that as high as $150 million, however.
Where we have the most uncertainty is the implementation, start-up and transition, Klein said. Does this all just appear in 2017 or is it a multiyear transition?
Klein warned the estimates could also change significantly based on policy decisions that must be made by lawmakers.
As you do so, the costs could go higher or could go lower, Klein said. As you change policy levers the range will change dramatically.
Among the pending decisions are the setting of provider reimbursement rates, determination of the populations to be covered under the plan, benefit changes and whether workers compensation will be merged into the plan.
I would love it as you take testimony on this to start filling in these boxes, Klein said.
The total cost of the single-payer plan under the consensus figures is nearly $5.92 billion. The lions share would be covered by federal funding, however.
About $1.6 billion would come from Medicare and $1.2 billion from Medicaid funds. The state would have to gain a waiver from the federal government to secure those funds. About $267 million currently slated for tax breaks and subsidies under the federal Affordable Care Act would be absorbed into the system along with $209 million in other federal funding.
Spaulding, responding to a request from Rep. Mary Morrissey, R-Bennington, for a multiyear budget plan for the proposed system, said lawmakers can do that when they consider a financing plan next year.
We should not be looking at one year, Spaulding said. When and if, and hopefully when the General Assembly votes on a financing plan, it should be based on a three-to-five-year plan.
He also urged lawmakers to remember the estimated cost will change as legislators make changes to the administrations proposals.
Whats important here is that this range is not static, Spaulding said. We should expect it to go down, go up and change and hopefully get narrower as we go through the process together.

Pours a lighter copper color with medium head that leaves some slight lacing,a strong smell to it some fruitiness to it and very malty kind of a weird smell hard to place.The taste starts out a little sweet but there is some dryness in the middle ending with a malty finish and aftertaste.Not a bad beer but seems a little rough around the edges.

A: cranberry/amber body, dull white head, no stick, no lacing.
S: weak malt aromas, minor cleaning product solvent, light herbal hop
T: clean malt up front, a touch sweet on the front of the tongue. some grapefruit comes through mid mouth then followed by a balanced but rather boring hop profile and bitter. slightly nutty. finishes pretty dry with hints of apples.
M: mouthfeel is what you'd expect from a simple, easy drinkin beer like this. good carbonation level, creamy, makes it easy drinking and refreshing.
D: easy to put down but not interesting enough for me to want another.

I remember drinking this beer on a trip to California in the mid 80s. I also remember thinking at the time that it was a really good beer. This present version I'm not so sure of.
In a snifter the beer was a light amber color with a tiny white head.
It had a grassy, flowery hop profile, with some caramel.
I liked the taste more than I thought I would, based on the aroma. A sweet caramel taste gave way to the grassy hops.
A nice enough beer. I just thought I would like it more than I actually did.

A - A good looking beer. A copper/red with a nice off-white head.
S - Mostly just the grain bill. The nose is heavy on crystal malt. There is a little hop smell, but it is hard to distinguish because it is not fruity, or floral, or earthy.
T - There is some dark malts ( a little hint of toasted flavors) and a little biscuitiness to it. The hops are a little sweet/fruity at the end, which give the beer a decent blend. There is a very subtle bitter hop finish.
M - A light to medium bodied beer that is fairly carbonated.
D - The thinner body and low ABV make it very drinkable, but it just doesn't taste that good, so I don't really want to have that many.

4.22/5 rDev +22.3%
Presentation: 12oz brown bottle. A red tail hawk flies with hops and barley in its talons. No freshness date.
Appearance: Amber with a touch of haze. The white head is quite sticky, semi-clumpy and very healthy looking.
Smell: Sweet pale malts, a touch of raw grain, esters and herbal hop aromas.
Taste: Smooth, malty and crisp. Notes of caramel and toasted malts aid in an almost chewy upfront mouthfeel. Alcohol notes are definitely present, and hide nicely behind a mild hop spiciness. Right in the middle, for a brief second, a lemony hop flavour punches through. A touch of citrus rind and herbal follows, continuing right into the aftertaste. Finishes slightly dry, with a bit of hop oil and malt huskiness.
Notes: Damn, this is one fine ale. Very well balanced, extremely drinkable and suprisingly warming. Makes me wonder what the abv is as my head heats up and my belly warms. It costs nearly $9 a 6-pak in Cambridge, MA ... but man is it worth it. Another fine ale from Mendocino Brewing Co. Buy some now.

3.68/5 rDev +6.7%
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. The label has no freshness date or abv%.
Appearance: It has an orange amber body with good clarity and is capped off by with a tall loose foam head. This tall white head fades quickly and sets up a thin film covering that just hangs on. As it slides down the glass it makes some slick lacing.
Smell: There is a mild sweet bready malt aroma with a nice backing of dry leafy/herbal hops.
Taste/Palate: I get a nice candy and caramel sweetness with light toasty bready notes and just a hint of fruitiness. The hops come in late and finish with some mild bitterness for balance. Its medium bodied, easy drinking and nicely carbonated.
Notes: There's not too much to say, it's a good basic Amber Ale. Its not mind blowing but it is still a decent, enjoyable beer.

A: Light amber, little quickly dissipating head (their pale ales head seemed way too big and never leaving) and very little lacing. Alright color, not too exciting.
S: Lightly toasty malts, maybe some citrusy American hops, meh.
T: Pretty bitter with some citrusy notes. Not too different from their pale ale, maybe a slightly higher malty characteristic but only just so. Tastes like an Amber Ale but not a very good one.
M: Decent, medium-light body and carbonation.
D: Not something I would order again, just okay example of the style which isn't one of my favorites, not too heavy in any way but not interesting enough to bring me back.

On tap @ Redbones. Mild hazed pale amber orange hue with a thin off white lace that has decent stickage from its creamy bubbly form.
Faint toasted grain and flowery citric hop in the aroma.
Moderate body, clean crispness. Big citrusy hop with a very ample bitterness, flavour from the hop lingers in a rind pungency. Malt and grain flavours tread in the back drop with a light estery fruity alcohol. Finishes slightly dry.
Good drinking here, real easy to go down and with the usual trademark APA characteristics.

12 oz bottle pours a clear, red/orange amber with an ivory head that is minimal and short lived but fades into patches of sheety lacing. Aroma is a pleasant meld of fruity and piney hops and pale and caramel malt graininess. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Taste is slightly sweet with caramel and apples, but plenty of citrus, pine, and grassy hops keep it well balanced. Finishes crisp and slightly dry, with a polite note of hop bitterness. Very nice red ale, that I hope to sample again.

Smell: citrus hops, caramel malt, and a bit of dark fruit
Taste: citrus hops, caramel malt, and a graininess towards the end
Mouthfeel: medium bodied, moderate carbonation, sweet with a slightly bitter backbone
Drinkability: An average amber that is slightly on the hoppy side. If you love hops this might be for you. I think this could be a bit more balanced. I will pass in the future.

Poured into pint glass from 12oz bottle.
Pours a hazy reddish-brown color, no head - a little lacy on top.
Smells of malts, taste similar. No recongnizable aromas or flavors. A little bitter on the palate and finish isn't overly pleasant.
I had this as a single, don't think I would recommend or try again. It wasn't horrible, I guess I expect more out of a "craft beer."

I don't normally like "fruity-tasting" beer but I really enjoyed this. Poured bright red with a medium off-white head. Floral aroma with strawberries and pale malt. Sweet, but not overpowering. Good balance of citrus hops, caramel malt, and the kiwi-strawberry flavor. Very smooth.

poured into a nonic glass from a 12 oz brown long neck bottle with a crimped on cap.
Clear,medium amber color with a tall,thick,chunky white head with good retention leaving webs of lacing around the glass with a couple of tiny bubbles stringing to the top of the glass.
Complex moderate nose very malty with notes of toffee,bisquity,nutty,toasty with a bit of a burnt note. Not much hop aroma a bit grassy.
Sweet, burnt carmell/toffee tastes, bisquitty with a citrus rind bite. Very well balanced with a crisp,clean,dry sharp/tart bitterness leaving a burnt aftertaste. Really liked the taste of this beer.
Tangy,juicy mouthfeel also light and airy feeling with a bit of a grainy texture.
Easy drinking ale could drink quite a few of these really enjoyable. Worth a try.

Second or third time trying this brew from Mendocino. Available in these parts at Whole Foods and the like.
Nice initial taste followed by a zing. Aftertaste is where I have to take away marks. A bit too spicy.

Bottle poured into glass
Beer is a dark mirky cloudy amber with white head. Head is gone rahter quickly. The retention on the glass is pretty good.
Smells of citrus, pine, carmel, brown sugar come out.
Taste is pretty good. A somewhat bitter beer but does have some sweetness to counter the bitterness. Beer finishes a little bitter nothing over the top. Pretty refreshing beer that I have to be careful not to drink to fast.
Beer is low in carbonation and is nicely balanced. A couple of these is a nice treat to a weekend watching the baseball game.

Taste, a little heavier than one would expect from the appearance. Solid, balanced English ale interpretation with a little CA hopping. Sometimes the quality can vary wildly with Red Tail, but more often than not, you get a relatively solid built beer with good malt and hop bills.
Mouthfeel, like many Mendo beers, gets a little heavier towards the end. Drinkable session ale. A keeper.

Bottle from the Saratoga Springs, NY brewery...
Nice pour, head is a consistent 1/4 inch of medium bubbles. Murky amber color. A little hoppiness and "wet canvas" to the smell. Not well balanced, hops are tangy and somewhat explosive. Some creaminess to the malts that adds body. If I have a major criticism, its in the lack of complexity of the malt sweetness, and way too much vinegary funk going on, piling on with the hops. Drank a second one directly from the bottle and it was extremely sour in this presentation. I'd like to try it on tap to see if there are a number of bottle runs that are not well-done...

Bright ruby red body slightly hazed when held toward the light, fine off white cream colored head leaves behind fine speckled lacing. Aroma has caramel/raisin/hints of faint alcohol. Flavor a sweet and dry mixture of chemicals/phenolic flavors and bitter background hops wrapped around caramel flavored hops. A bit abrasive as a whole, this is not the beer I recall years ago when I tasted Red Tail Ale, things have gone in a bad direction eversince they were bought by the Kingfisher Indian mogul. Mouthfeel is cloying with earthy bitterness, body is medium bodied carbonation doesn't carry things well just an unpleasant experience. Drain pour there's too many good beers in life to settle for crap like this, honestly bad flavor and I will look for my next beer.

The Jacksonville indoor track & field team will travel to State College, Pa. to participate in the Penn State Sykes and Sabock Challenge Cup Saturday for the third straight year.
This will be the final meet for the Dolphins before they head to the Atlantic Sun Championships on February 22 where they will be looking to repeat as champions for the eighth straight year. The meet field consists of well-known programs from all over the east coast.
"This is a big meet for us," said JU head coach Ron Grigg. "We will be in a great facility, with the strongest competition we will see all indoor season. This is our last meet before the conference championship, and our last chance to improve our individual performances. We make a big investment of our resources to attend this meet, and our team has always responded in kind with big returns in performance."
Several of the Dolphins are coming off of strong performances at last weekend's Jimmy Carnes Invitational, most notably senior distance runner Joane Pierre.
She completed the impressive feat of winning both the mile and 800m with almost no rest in between races. Pierre blew away the field in the mile to win in a time of 4:50.76 which broke her own school record by over three seconds. She returned moments later to lead wire-to-wire in the 800m and posted a time of 2:13.41. For her efforts, Pierre was named the A-Sun Track Athlete of the Week.
The Dolphins also took first place in the 4x400m relay. The team of LaTonya Payne, Charlene Charles, Courtney Walker, and Alexis Taylor won the event in a time of 3.47.63 for the second consecutive year.
The weekend's competitive field should challenge the Dolphin athletes and create the opportunity for a school record to fall for the third consecutive weekend.
The meet is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and continue throughout the afternoon.
