Colorado Motor Vehicle, Income, and Telecom Taxes, Proposition 101 (2010)
The Colorado Motor Vehicle, Income, and Telecom Taxes Initiative, also known as Proposition 101, was on the November 2, 2010 ballot as an initiated state statute, where it was defeated.[1][2][3]
The measure would have added a new article to Title 39, taxation, of the Colorado Revised Statutes - revising the current vehicle, income and telecommunications taxes and fees.[4][5]
Some of the proposed statements in the amendment were designed to:[6]
- Require all state and local taxes to cease on vehicle rentals and leases
- Specify that sales rebates are not taxable
- Require that all registration, license, and title changes combined total ten dollars yearly per vehicle
- Set the 2011 income tax rate at four and one-half percent and require later rates to decrease a specified amount yearly until reaching a specified amount under certain conditions
- Repeal the alternative minimum tax
- Specify that all added charges to telecommunication service customer accounts, with the exception of 911 fees at 2009 rates, shall be tax increases

Text of measure
The language appeared on the ballot as:[3]
Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado Revised Statutes concerning limits on government charges, and, in connection therewith, reducing vehicle ownership taxes over four years to nominal amounts; ending taxes on vehicle rentals and leases; phasing in over four years a $10,000 vehicle sale price tax exemption; setting total yearly registration, license, and title charges at $10 per vehicle; repealing other specific vehicle charges; lowering the state income tax rate to 4.5% and phasing in a further reduction in the rate to 3.5%; ending state and local taxes and charges, except 911 charges, on telecommunication service customer accounts; and stating that, with certain specified exceptions, any added charges on vehicles and telecommunication service customer accounts shall be tax increases?[7]
Supporters of Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and 61 said the proposed measure would have forced the government to operate more efficiently and cut bloated spending.[8] Marty Neilson, president of the Colorado Union of Taxpayers, said she believed the measure would have been beneficial for the state of Colorado. "There is plenty of taxing going on and too much spending," she said. Additionally, Neilson rejected the argument that county government and school districts would have been harmed by the tax changes.
She added,"I know the schools' mantra: 'It's for the children.' But many of our graduates going on to college have to take remedial classes. These schools need to perform a bit better and do it on the funds they have."[9]
- Marty Neilson, president of the Colorado Union of Taxpayers said, "It's our general belief that the state of Colorado has enough money to spend. They can spend more wisely, or even cut their spending," at a May 2010 Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce's "State of the State" session.[8]
- Natalie Menten, campaign coordinator for the three ballot measures, agreed that with the three proposed measures government would receive less funds. But that, she said, was the point. "These are moderate, modest proposals for taxes and tax reform. They are phased in over many years, so it's a gradual process. The more money that we can put into individuals' hands and business owners', that's what really grows an economy," said Menten. She added that supporters felt it was the right time to make the proposals because of "the actions of the government." The mood, among citizens she said was "ripe" for the proposed changes.[10]
- In response to critics who said they were concerned about the lack of sufficient funds to replace any lost revenue should Amendment 60 be approved Menten said, "That amount is two-thirds of 1 percent of next year's growth in state revenue...State revenue grew $400 million this year, to $19.6 billion. The state aid will be $130 million a year, or $26 per person. Since 1984, total state spending has zoomed 476 percent and never gone down."[11]
- In response to the large number of local officials who spoke out against Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and 61 Natalie Menten, the campaign's spokesperson, said, supporters' goal is not to make it harder for local governments to operate but to see efficiencies. "Some government entities have become enterprises to avoid falling under TABOR. For instance, a golf course. If they're going to see any decrease in services, they should look at whether they are charging appropriately," she said.[12]
- Despite having the existing TABOR law Menten said the initiatives were necessary. "High-paid, government-paid lawyers have tried to find loopholes in TABOR. If you look at the car-registration tax, that should have been put to a vote and it wasn't. They're supposed to ask us about debt. They've created this loophole called certificates of participation and are spending millions on interest that we never got the opportunity to approve. This closes those loopholes. School districts need to get back on track and not be wasting money on interest," said Menten.[12]
The main committee in support of Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and Amendment 61 was CO Tax Reforms. According to August 2010 reports, the committee had reportedly received $12,262.24 in contributions and spent $5,074.90. Their balance at the time wa $7,187.34.[13][14]

Coloradans for Responsible Reform was the main political action committee in opposition to Amendment 60, Amendment 61 and Proposition 101. They described it as the "evil three" ballot questions. Coloradans for Responsible Reform was led by Rick Reiter who argued that the measures would devastate the state.[10][19]
The University of Colorado Board of Regents passed a resolution on July 16 to oppose Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101.[20] Some cities and counties also spoke out or passed resolutions against the proposed measures, including: Monte Vista, the Town of Frisco, Ouray County, Colorado Springs City and Grand Junction City.[21][22][23][24] A list of cities, counties and school boards in opposition to the proposed measure can be found here.
Senate President Brandon Shaffer, House Speaker Terrance Carroll, Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry and House Minority Leader Mike May opposed Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and Amendment 61.[25] Some 2010 gubernatorial candidates announced their opposition in February 2010: Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the Democrat running for governor, and former Congressman Scott McInnis, one of the Republicans running.[26]
- Twenty-three of 27 Republican State Representatives and five of 14 Republican State Senators signed a letter urging Republicans in the state to vote no on Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and 61. "Yes, these three issues are a direct reaction to poor treatment of taxpayers by Democrats. However, this reaction is so far overreaching that it will ultimately kill Colorado jobs and strip local governments' ability to provide police and fire protection and to educate our children," said the letter.[27][28]
- John Straayer, a political science professor at Colorado State University, was opposed to Amendment 60, Amendment 61 and Proposition 101. "These initiatives pose to the voters in a stark fashion whether they want the world of Douglas Bruce or an efficient and functioning government system," said Straayer.[29]
- Colorado Counties Inc., a nonprofit organization that "offer[s] assistance to county commissioners, mayors and councilmembers and to encourage counties to work together on common issues," announced in December 2009 that they were opposed to Amendment 60, Amendment 61 and Proposition 101.

- Gov. Bill Ritter, who was attempting to close a $1 billion state budget shortfall, characterized Amendment 61, Amendment 60 and Proposition 101 as "dangerous."[29] In March 2010 Ritter said his top priority was defeating Amendment 60, 61 and Proposition 101.[30]
- Proposition 101 and amendments 60 and 61 on the November ballot "would set Colorado back a generation and bring to a halt the pro-business environment we have all worked so hard to build," said Gov. Bill Ritter in May 2010 at the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce's "State of the State" session.[8]
According to August 2010 reports, Coloradans for Responsible Reform, an opponent of Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and 61, had reportedly received $4.109 million in campaign contributions and spent $3.877 million. Their final balance at the time was $231,335.98.[31] Compared to May 2010 reports, supporters reported that they had received $777,000 in campaign donations and had a total of $671,190 in the bank.[32] In July 2010, state campaign finance records revealed that opponents received contributions from 36 businesses and 11 business & trade groups.[14]

Tactics and strategies
- In May 2010 Coloradans for Responsible Reform launched a website called www.donthurtcolorado.com in order to fight Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and 61. According to reports, the group raised approximately $800,000 to fight the measures. The campaign group was supported by Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and others.

Other perspectives
- 2010 Gubernatorial candidate U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo announced in an early September debate that he supported Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and 61. Tancredo said, "The people of Colorado are not under-taxed; we are over-governed" and added "It's really a reaction to people being overtaxed and taxed without their permission. The passage of these things will be an indicator that things are coming to a change and we'll have to deal with it."[42] However, in late September 2010, Tancredo said he was unsure about the measures.[43]
Policy analysis
The Bell Policy Center
The Bell Policy Center, a nonprofit organization based in Denver, estimated that Proposition 101 would cost the state more than $2.3 billion in lost revenue, including about $622 million for local governments and school districts, according to a December 2009 study.[44] According to their preliminary analysis, Proposition 101, when fully implemented would reduce state income tax revenues, transportation revenues and sales tax revenues. For local communities the proposition would have specifically cut revenues by an estimated $500 million in vehicle ownership taxes, $100 million in sales taxes from exempting $10,000 in vehicle value from sales taxes, $22 million by eliminating sales taxes on rental vehicles.[45][46]
A county-by-county analysis by The Bell Policy Center can be found here.
Colorado Municipal League
The Colorado Municipal League released a report on June 28 regarding the possible future impacts of Proposition 101 and Amendments 60 and 61. The organization is described as a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization "that provides advocacy, information and training to build stronger cities and towns." It was founded in 1923.[47] According to the released report the organization concluded that all three measures would have been "devastating to local government's finances." Sam Mamet, executive director of the organization, said, "These are very, very dramatic in terms of their impact on municipal finance unlike I've seen in a very long time. This comes on top of two years of significant budget cutting and layoffs and service reductions. This really just cuts directly into revenue streams for local governments and just adds more stress to an already stressful situation."[48]
Colorado Legislative Council
In July 2010 the Colorado Legislative Council released an analysis of proposed measures Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and Amendment 61. The analysis described the possible fiscal impact of the three measures. According to the report, it assumed "each measure is fully implemented in FY 2010-11."[49][50]
According to the report, if all of the measures had been implemented in FY 2010-11:
"the state would lose $2.1 billion in revenue and would have to increase K-12 education funding by $1.6 billion. The combined impacts mean that K-12 education funding would require about 99 percent of the General Fund budget. A homeowner earning $55,000 per year with a $295,000 home would save approximately $1,800 annually in taxes."[49]
Specifically, Proposition 101 was expected to:
"reduce state revenue by $1.6 billion annually. This results from decreases in income and sales taxes, vehicle registration fees, and telecommunications fees. Local governments will lose $936 million in revenue from specific ownership taxes and local sales taxes. Of the local government decrease, school districts will lose about $150 million, which the state is required to backfill. A household earning $55,000 per year is estimated to save $604 annually."[49]
Media editorial positions
- Main article: Endorsements of Colorado ballot measures, 2010
- Steamboat Pilot & Today was opposed to Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and 61. In an editorial the board said, "It will be tempting come fall — particularly in the midst of a recession — to fall victim to campaign spots that promise reduced income taxes and vehicle registration fees. We think voters are smarter than that and will see the crippling effect Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101 would have on state and local governments, which will be manifested in the diminishment, and in some cases abolishment, of services...It's hard to imagine that, armed with the facts, voters could support such ill-conceived initiatives come November."[51]
- The Denver Post was opposed to Proposition 101. In an editorial, the board said, "Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101 may appear to be simple tax-cutting measures that will appeal to voters tired of big-government spending, but don't be fooled. The operating language within each one is a virus that would cripple the ability of our local and state governments to provide the most basic of services — from building schools for our children to supplying clean water to our homes...Don't be fooled, Colorado. Amendments 60 and 61 and Prop 101 are not smart budget-cutting measures. They're out to cripple Colorado, and should be rejected at the polls."[52]
- ColoradoBallot.net, a local blog, was opposed to Proposition 101. The blog stated, "This initiative is one of the Dr. Evil three put on the ballot by Doug Bruce. It's [sic] impact will be an immediate reduction in state income severe enough that it will drastically reduce virtually all state services."[53]
- TimesCall.com was opposed to Amendment 60, 61 and Proposition 101. In an editorial, the board said, "Each measure alone goes far beyond reasonable concern about the size of state and local government. Taken together, the three create a tsunami of effects likely to keep Colorado in a recession from which we might never recover. Voters are encouraged to vote against 60, 61 and 101."[54]
- The Gazette was opposed to Amendment 60, 61 and Proposition 101. In an editorial, the board wrote, "The problem with 60, 61 and 101 is the fact they go beyond traditional measures to keep government in check...Voters should reject 60, 61 and 101. But the measures should serve as bold notice to politicians that citizens want limited, accountable government and will stop at almost nothing to get it. After all, these measures didn't land on the ballot by osmosis. More than 100,000 voters asked for them in writing."[55]
- The Tribune was opposed to Amendment 60, 61 and Proposition 101. In an editorial, the board said, "We understand voters' frustration with government spending...Voters need to understand these three measures could simply change our state, forever...Colorado has enough financial challenges to face without tying our hands any further and mucking up our state constitution worse than it already is. The Ugly 3 would make our government's task nearly impossible. Vote against amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101."[56]
- The Ski-Hi Daily News was opposed to Proposition 101. In an editorial, the board said, "...Proposition 101 is damaging enough that we can't in good conscience recommend voting for it, even if we sympathize in part with its origins. However, if it alone were to pass, it would scarcely be the end of life as we know it in Colorado, and lawmakers would almost certainly undo its most destructive provisions before they could take effect. "[57]
- The Coloradoan was opposed to the proposed measure. "The Coloradoan editorial board already has recommended against Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101, which are tax measures that will badly damage the state's economy...," said the editorial board.[58]
- The Durango Herald was opposed. "The 'bad three' [Amendments 60, 61 and 101] really would hurt Colorado. Together, they would cut fees and taxes, require public entities such as colleges to pay property tax, ban all government debt and effectively reduce Colorado to Third World status," said the editorial board.[59]
- The Vail Daily said, "While many of us would like to send a message to government to keep out-of-control spending in check, these ballot initiatives are not the way to do it. We strongly recommend just saying 'no' to Amendment 60, Amendment 61 and Proposition 101."[60]
- The Glenwood Springs Post Independent said, "Amendments 60, 61 and Proposition 101 are blind stabs at controlling government spending without understanding the effects of these knee-jerk approaches. If these measures pass, government spending would decrease dramatically, but the repurcussions on citizens will include school closures and a general decline in the quality of life for the Western Slope."[61]

Campaign contributions challenged
A group opposed to Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and Amendment 61 called Protect Colorado's Communities requested an explanation for how proponents of the measures spent $200 or less to print and circulate the petitions. According to state law, if more than $200 was spent to place a proposal on the ballot, proponents were required to register issue committees. Protect Colorado's Communities argued that it takes thousands of dollars to place a measure on the ballot. The Colorado Secretary of State was expected to issue a statement in early January 2010.[68]
Campaign finance hearing
A campaign finance hearing was held in April 2010 in an effort to clarify who financed the signature-gathering effort for Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and 61, all of which appeared on the ballot. However, tax advocate Douglas Bruce was not present at the hearing.[69]
Of the hearing in an April 20 motion, Russell Haas, sponsor of Amendment 61, said, "The problem is, as we said all along, the evidence DOES NOT EXIST. His (Grueskin's) fishing expedition has produced NOTHING because there is NOTHING to produce. Volunteer petition drives are lawful. He has NO RIGHT to learn who volunteered to help, or orally supported or signed our forms." However, opponents of the measures argued in a court document that supporters of Proposition 101, Amendment 60 & 61 used "obstructionist" tactics and had continuously tried to hamper the efforts to "unravel the 'scheme of secrecy' behind the three ballot issues."[70]
Although Bruce had appeared to have no involvement with the measures, Secretary of State records revealed that the eight professional petition circulators lived in an apartment house on Boulder Street near Colorado Springs. The proposed was owned by Bruce. The petition circulators had since moved but the records called into question Bruce's involvement in the campaigns. According to reports, court records revealed that Bruce failed to show up for a deposition weeks prior to the hearing, despite being served with subpoenas.[71]
On March 10 Bruce described the subpoenas as a "case of gross harassment." In regard to the April hearing, Bruce said he did not appear because he was not subpoenaed.[69][71]
At the request of attorney Mark Grueskin, who represented opponents of the measures, and attorney Scott Gessler, who represented proponents of Amendment 61, Administrative Law Judge Robert Spencer moved the hearing to May 24-25.
After tax advocate Douglas Bruce failed to appear at the April 2010 hearing state officials asked for an order to force Bruce to attend. The attorney general's office filed the petition on behalf of the secretary of state's office.[72][73] On May 11 District Court Judge Brian Whitney issued an order that stipulated that Bruce was required to appear for the deposition.[74]
As of May 18, the attorney general said a total of 23 attempts to serve the court order had failed.[75]
Douglas Bruce tied to measures
- See also: Douglas Bruce
In a campaign finance complaint hearing on May 24, 2010, after much speculation, Douglas Bruce was identified as a "guiding force" in Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and Amendment 61. Proponents said they received ballot language and instructions from a "Mr. X" in unsigned emails. Michelle Northrup testified on May 24 that she believed "Mr. X" was Douglas Bruce.[76] During the hearing, Northrup said she didn't approve of the evasion tactics being used by proponents of the ballot measures. According to May 24 testimony proponents said they received advice from Bruce on the language of the ballot measures, how to get the measures approved for the ballot by the Secretary of State's Office and on the signature petition campaign.[77][78][79]
Attempts to subpoena Bruce in time for the May 24 hearing failed. Mark Grueskin, lawyer challenging campaign contributions, asked Administrative Law Judge Robert Spencer to keep the hearing open until Bruce's testimony could be collected but Spencer denied the request. According to the judge a decision on the finance complaints was to be issued in 15 days.[80]
According to reports in late May, the state of Colorado tried and failed to contact Douglas a total of 29 times.[81]
State files contempt motion
On Friday, June 18, state officials filed a contempt motion in Denver District Court. The motion requested that the judge find Bruce in contempt of court for not testifying in the administrative proceeding and for avoiding process servers.[82] In response to the motion, Bruce argued that he had done nothing wrong. He said, "A subpoena requires personal service. I was not personally served. Therefore, I was not legally served."[83] If Bruce was found in contempt of court it was expected that he would be fined for every day he didn't respond to the subpoena (March 19-May 24). According to Bruce, he was out of town on vacation.[84]
On June 23 a Denver judge cited Bruce with contempt of court.[85] Denver District Court Judge Brian Whitney said, "Based on the state's showing in the motion, there is cause to believe that Mr. Bruce has not complied with the order and that, to date, he remains in disobedience of the order."[86]
A hearing was set for July 26 at 8:30 am in Denver.[87] Additionally, Bruce was ordered to appear at a June 30 hearing as a witness in a grand jury investigation.[88][89] According to reports, the grand jury hearing was unrelated to Bruce's political activities and he was only serving as a witness.[90]
On July 26 Bruce appeared in court in regard to the contempt citation.[91] Bruce argued that he was out of town and did not purposely try to evade the subpoena. "I can produce motel receipts ... to prove that I wasn't here," said Bruce. Despite the state's arguments that Bruce should have faced civil or criminal charges, Bruce was not charged with a crime. District Judge Brian Whitney said, "I don't plan to impose incarceration."[92][93]
The case was scheduled to resume on August 18.[94] On August 9 it was reported that Bruce hired "one of Denver's most high-profile lawyers" - David Lane - to represent him in the case.[95] According to reports, Lane was involved in such high-profile cases as: "Balloon Boy" father Richard Heene; Tim Masters, who won $10 million in settlements after being wrongly imprisoned for a decade; and former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill.[96]
On September 7, 2010 Denver District Judge Brian Whitney ruled that Bruce was not in contempt of court for not testifying on the ballot measures case. However, Bruce was ordered to appear for a deposition on the three initiatives (Amendments 60 & 61 and Proposition 101) to answer questions about his involvement.[97][98][99]
Filing with State Court of Appeals
In late July 2010 sponsors of Proposition 101, Amendment 60 and Amendment 61 filed an appeal to a judge's order to disclose contributors of the proposed measures.[100] According to the filed appeal, it alleged that Denver Administrative Law Judge Robert Spencer, who presided over the case, engaged in "flagrant misconduct." Additionally, the appeal stated, "The weaving of wild speculative theories about unknown contributions in kind by unknown persons, and other distractions from the fact that there was NO evidence appellant 'accepted' over two hundred dollars." Judge Spencer ruled in June that the sponsors should have formed committees and reported the expenditures and contributions. The judge also issued $2,000 in fines against the three sponsors.[101]
Complaint filed
On October 18, 2010 Coloradans for Responsible Reform, opponents of Proposition 101 and Amendments 60 and 61, filed a campaign-finance complaint. The coalition argued that Douglas Bruce illegally used a charity, Active Citizens Together (ACT), to fund the petition signature drive for the measures. "We now know, finally, where the money — or a significant portion of it — came from," said Mark Grueskin, attorney for the group.[102]
ACT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Bruce. According to Secretary of State Bernie Buescher, aside from the alleged violations, ACT had not registered with the state as required by law. "Frankly, I'm frustrated there are so many campaign-finance violations going on where either these groups do not register at all with us or, when they register, they don't file reports, or if they file reports, they're frequently incomplete or inaccurate. Next year, I'm going to be asking the legislature to look at the way these groups evade their obligations of disclosure," said Buescher.[102]
The administrative court hearing was held December 14, 2010.[103]
On December 28, 2010 Administrative Law Judge Matthew Norwood levied $11,300 in campaign-finance fines against ACT for not reporting what was spent on the 2010 ballot measures. According to reports, the fines is believed to be the largest fine in state history against an issue committee.[104][105]
Voter guide controversy
The Blue Book, the state's voter guide, created some debate prior to the 2010 elections. According to proponents of Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101 the book was biased. The blue book was written by staff of the Legislative Council, a nonpartisan service agency. The council was in charge of writing "fair and neutral analyses of the initiatives." The language along with a fiscal analysis was included for each measure. During the process of drafting the 2010 voter guide, officials communicated with proponents via email. In a July 20, 2010 email Natalie Menten, a spokesperson for the group argued that the effects of the proposed measures would not be seen for more than a decade after implementation. In writing the draft analysis, officials attempted to show the effcts in the 2010-11 budget. Menten said, "Take your LYING July 8th 'draft' report, which you already fed to all legislators, publicly repudiate it in writing, and then throw your draft in the trash."[106] The 2010 voter's guide was approved the Legislative Council on September 1, 2010.[107]
Path to the ballot
In order to place the proposed measure on the ballot, supporters were required to collect a minimum of 76,047 valid signatures.
Signature summary
Below is the signature county summary according to the Colorado Secretary of State:[5]
- Total number of qualified signatures submitted: 142,680
- 5% of qualified signatures submitted (random sample): 7,134
- Total number of entries accepted (valid) from random sample: 5,307
- Total number of entries rejected (invalid) from random sample: 1,827
- Number of projected valid signatures from random sample: 106,140
- Total number of accepted entries necessary for placement on ballot: 76,047
- Percentage of presumed valid signatures: 139.57%
Signature challenge
According to proposition opponents, supporters may have failed to file required paperwork. Tyler Chafee, a member of Protect Colorado's Communities, a proposition opponent, said, "It appears that the proponents of these measures have not filed any kind of reports or done anything to that effect. We are looking very closely at the petitions ... and the practices of the people trying to push these measures. We have some sense that they may not have followed the law."[108]
According to secretary of state officials, state law requires that paid petition companies register with the state and paid circulators receive training. Neither was completed by supporters of Proposition 101, according to both supporters and officials. However, the Bell Policy Center, an opponent of the measure, said that according to preliminary research two petition companies were hired.
Challengers had until January 4, 2010 to raise concerns in court.[108][109]

a caring community
Counseling graduates gather on the prayer labyrinth on the hill above the classrooms.
words from alumni
I knew going to EMU meant extra time and commitment, and that seemed daunting, but it became an experience I would never trade. It gave me the opportunity to stay on campus and form bonds with classmates, making friends for life. My family grew in ways that would have been impossible for us had it not been for my commuting. My husband took over household/childcare duties and his relationship with our children deepened. Commuting also gave me time to decompress and switch gears from student to mom. And the faculty was very supportive. They were willing to work around my schedule and meet my needs.
Tammy Carr, 2010 MA in Counseling graduate
ADMISSION FOR THE 2015-2016 cohort RE-OPENED
Please submit applications for fall 2015 admission by May 31
The admissions selection process is designed to identify students who have potential for completing the counseling program. Students are admitted on the basis of many different expressions of their qualities and abilities: scholastic achievement, work experience, and factors relating to character and personality.
Applicants must be a graduate of a regionally accredited college or university. Applicants are required to submit official transcripts of credit from all colleges and universities attended and three references, two of which must be academic. Potential candidates will be invited for an interview.
Frequently asked questions
Applicants often need additional information when considering whether or not to apply to our program. Download our FAQ (PDF) for the top questions prospective counselors ask.
Conditional admission
Conditional admission is granted to a limited number of students each fall semester who come just below the requirements for unconditional admission, but who otherwise demonstrate the ability and motivation to adequately perform graduate level work. At the end of the fall semester their admission status is reviewed by the faculty and a decision is made to either lift the conditional status or deny continuing enrollment.
Expectations include an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.00, references indicating clear support for graduate work, a clear and relevant essay, and the ability to present oneself clearly and effectively in the interview. Additional factors given consideration in the admission decision include undergraduate field of study, performance in previous graduate level study, related counseling work experience, and other evidence of success in academic and professional endeavors. The admissions committee may make exceptions to admission requirements in special cases.
Enrollment and class size
Program enrollment is limited to the equivalent of 15 full-time students per class. Part-time students are encouraged to apply. Part-time status is defined as taking less than nine semester hours in a semester.
New students are admitted for the fall semester. The application deadline is March 1. After this deadline, the admissions committee will continue to review applications if space remains available.
There are a number of scholarships in the community students can apply for. Several students from the MA in counseling program in the past have been awarded these scholarships.
Transfer credit
Transfer credits may be considered for inclusion in the program of study upon the approval of the director of the program. A grade of "B" or better must be earned in courses requested for transfer credit. Courses considered for transfer credit must be applicable toward a comparable degree at the institution offering the course. Application for consideration of transfer credit taken more than five years before the date at which the student is admitted must be accompanied by substantial documentation of prior work and evidence of continued and current competence. Transfer credit taken more than ten years before the date at which the student is admitted may not be used to satisfy degree requirements. No practicum or internship credits are eligible for transfer credit. Decisions with respect to number of transfer hours accepted will be handled by the Admissions Committee on a case-by-case basis, but normally a maximum of 12 hours of credit obtained from an accredited college or university may be applied to the degree.

Upstart Glacier Peak beats big brother Snohomish soundly
Glacier Peak dominates Snohomish in first-ever meeting between the two Snohomish high schools

Glacier Peak dominated crosstown rival and established veteran Snohomish offensively and defensively as the Grizzlies cruised to a 64-18 nonconference win in both teams' opening game of the season.
"I'm proud of the guys for how they moved the ball and shared it," said Glacier Peak head coach Brian Hunter. "It's a really unselfish team. The more you share the ball, the better off you'll be."
The Grizzlies scored early and often, opening the game with an 11-0 run. Snohomish's first points of the season came on a Josh Baird 3-pointer 41⁄2 minutes into the game. Glacier Peak finished with more points in the first quarter (22) than Snohomish had the entire night (18).
"For us, honestly, it sounds simple, but we really want to play as hard as we can at all times," Hunter said. "We want to share the basketball, and know at the end of the night that we left all that we have out there."
Hunter said that the team didn't discuss the crosstown rivalry much, but he knew the teams were excited to play each other.
"Our kids grew up with their kids," he said.
In fact, the Glacier Peak coach thought that the game might mean more to another group of people: the Grizzlies' coaching staff.
"Four of our coaches played for Snohomish," said Hunter, who is one of the four. "(This game was) probably a bigger deal for the coaches."
Glacier Peak senior post, and leading scorer, Zach Pederson might disagree.
"I grew up watching (former Snohomish and University of Washington star) Jon Brockman at Snohomish, and cheering for them," said Pederson, who scored 18 points. "I was a Panther before Glacier Peak started."
Pederson, last season's Wesco 3A leading scorer and rebounder, also grabbed eight rebounds before departing the game for good late in the third quarter.
Senior Ramsey Rosales had 14 points for Glacier Peak, including six in the first quarter. He also grabbed six rebounds and three steals. Trey Chambers (seven points) also was a strong defensive presence with four steals.
Glacier Peak's fast start may be attributed to the Grizzlies' eagerness to get out on the court and get their season underway.
"I was so excited," Pederson said. "I've been thinking about this game for so long. It just felt great to play and get back out there. Get back to another season.
"Another strong season," he quickly added.
Baird had a team-high seven points for the Panthers, who struggled from the field. All six of their points in the first quarter came from behind the 3-point arc. After reaching the bonus with 5:40 left in the second quarter, Snohomish found its way to the free throw line. All seven of their second-quarter points came off free throws.
The third quarter wasn't much kinder, with Snohomish netting its first two-point field goal of the season with 3:49 left in the third quarter when Collin Kane got a steal and a quick layin. That turned out to be the only points of the quarter for the Panthers.
In the final quarter, with most of its starters out, Snohomish scored three points to bring its final total to 18. The Panthers were held scoreless in the quarter until a free throw with about two minutes left in the game.
By the end of the game, there was a running clock. With less than 30 seconds to go, a Snohomish player went to the free throw line with the clock continuing to countdown. Snohomish fans shouted at the clock operator as time continued to wind down.
The final buzzer sounded one second after the last free throw attempt, which bounced off the rim.
Despite the lopsided score, Pederson said the Grizzlies will still areas to improve in practice.
"It gives us confidence," Pederson said. "There are a couple things to work on, like always. It wasn't a perfect game."
It was darn close.
About the only thing that didn't go right for Glacier Peak was free throws. The Grizzlies missed four straight in the third quarter after Dreu Vader was fouled driving to the basket, and Snohomish was subsequently whistled for a technical foul.
"This is game one," Hunter said. "We'd like to get better and play better in game two. We want to get better all season.
"…We've still got a long way to go."

Lawyer Referral & Information Service (LRIS):
How Our Program Works:
If you are having legal problems, contact us. We will help you find a lawyer or agency that best matches your legal needs and resources. Please be aware that we are a referral service, and we cannot give legal advice. We'll refer you to a lawyer or other service that may be able to help.
Contact us by phone: (800) 252-9690 (Toll Free), Monday - Friday, CST, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The call-in service is closed on legal holidays. We also have phone services in Spanish.
Contact us online: To get a referral 24/7, use our new online service!
Our Service Area
Our LRIS program serves over 240 counties in Texas and we assist more than 70,000 callers like you each year. To help us find you the right lawyer, first tell us the county you need help in.
If we do not serve your county, we will refer you to a certified lawyer referral program that can help you. Certified Lawyer Referral Services in Texas
Steps and Costs
1. Our LRIS staff will ask you three things:
· The county where
you need the attorney
In order to receive a referral from our service, we must have your name and mailing address. This information is only shared with the attorney we refer you to. We do not sell, rent or share your information with anybody else.
2. Once we refer you to a lawyer, it is your responsibility to make the first call. When you call the lawyer's office to make an appointment, let the lawyer know that you have been referred by the State Bar LRIS service.
3. The lawyer we refer you to will provide you with a 30 minute consultation for no more than $20
The LRIS does not have any participating attorneys
who offer free or reduced fee legal assistance. After the initial
consultation, you should be prepared to pay a reasonable fee should you
and the attorney decide to work together. Those fees will be determined
by an agreement between you and the attorney. Make sure you understand
completely what your lawyer will be charging you.
Tips and Resources
Be Prepared and Save Money: If you haven't already, read these quick tips to help you and your lawyer be successful.

Throughout the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, the Museum of the Confederacy-Richmond will be hosting a monthly series of talks devoted to a topic or event's 150th anniversary. These talks, normally scheduled for the third Friday of the month, are free for members and Richmond area residents, and are included with Museum admission for all others.
At the beginning of the war, men of Southern heritage, who were serving in the U. S. Army, were given a choice: resign and join their home states in the Confederacy or remain in the Army. A Virginian who remained was George Thomas, who became one of the very best of the Union generals. In September 1863, he saved the Union Army from disaster in northern Georgia, earning his nickname as the "Rock of Chickamauga." Only two months later, his men carried the supposedly impregnable Confederate position on Missionary Ridge outside Chattanooga.
Join White House Guide Michael Thomas for this lunchtime talk. Bring your lunch to the Museum and commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Animal's Apawthecary Animals' Apawthecary Tinkle Tonic Herbal:
I have one male cat with urinary crystals and recurrent infections- spending over $100 a month just on special food because I can't feed one cat without the other and so my 2 were on the same prescription diet. My other cat is a female. She has peeing issues. If you leave something on the floor- towel, jeans, etc, she will pee on it. So I started on 1 dropperfull a day mixed in 1 can of food and they didn't seem to notice any taste or shy away from the bowl. Did this for 1 week and she was still peeing. Added a second dropper at the morning feed and still did not see much difference. increased to 2 droppers at night- so 3 droppers a day for 2 cats and all inappropriate peeing has stopped. I cannot yet verify that the urine crystal issue is solved but he seems to be fine off the prescription food. I will report back in 6 months and let you all know but I am reordering and I am very pleased with the product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Tried vet and round of meds first. Initially better then issue returned. Then used tinkle tonic in conjunction with switch to rx urinary tract food. When stopped tinkle tonic, cat (3yr old female) urine issues returned (frequent visits with little to show for it). Now back to using daily tinkle tonic for maintenance. Cat takes the liquid straight from dropper well. So glad it is not a pill!
Keeps urinary infections away!
By Ktrion
from Oakland, CA
We have a six year-old heavyweight male and a 17 year-old female. He started getting urinary crystals, and we had an expensive vet visit. We put them both on all wet food. He never has a problem as long as he's getting this treatment (plus cranberry balance). She will occasionally still have a problem. We're on a round of antibiotics right now (and having to retrain her to the litter box, 'cause honestly, sometimes she forgets, and I need to physically put her in the box). This product has helped a lot.

Helped the most
By TC
from San Diego
My 9 year old cat, Logan, developed UTI about 18 months ago. In the past, I had another cat with similar symptoms. With Sammy, I jumped through conventional, expensive, hoops. Visits to the Vet, x-rays, ultra-sound, urinary tests, blood-work and lots of prescription medication. Nothing helped. I found this web-site and started her on the URINARY RELIEF pills, which took about 7 days to work but needed to be administered for a few weeks/months to completely solve the problem, which it did, permanently. I tried the same pills on Logan but they did not help. I tried the TRACT-EASE drops and they did stop the bleeding after 5 days but the problem came back after 6 weeks even though I was still giving him the drops. I then tried the CRANBERRY WELLNESS powder. That stopped the constant litter box runs within 4 days but the problem recurred when the powder was stopped. I then tried the TINKLE TONIC. This too stopped the bleeding and litter box visits within 4 days. Logan has been on this for about 10 months now. I stop for a few days every month. The problem has not returned. He is a big boy,(about 20 lb)and I now give him 20 drops twice a day mixed in with his wet food. At first he would eat it all up but after a few weeks he would smell the food and not want to eat. I bought a bag of CAT-MAN-DOO dried bonito flakes and sprinkle a little on top of the food. He will eat anything I give him with that on top. I plan on giving Logan the Tinkle Tonic forever. There are a number of different UTI relief products so if one does not help try another until you find the right fit. I did not take Logan to the Vet because he would freak out every time he went for his annual check up. He would make himself sick and cower for days after. It did not make sense to make the cat sick just to see if he is well.

Urinary problems
By cat lover
from Long Island, NY
My female 10 yr old cat has always had bladder problems. We go to the vet regularly. She has blood in her urine , sometimes a urine sample shows crystals. She often will urinate on a vertical surface.This herbal liquid has kept her happy and healthy. Usually she is always squatting outside. Not I observe her sleeping, resting and no longer constantly trying to pee.

Works Great but don't expect miracles
By Gizmo
from Georgia
My male cat has had a UTI for months, blood in his urine but no crystals. He has had 3 rounds of antibiotics, prednisolone for inflammation, and subcutaneous fluids to help flush his system. We changed his diet to a prescription urinary health diet. Despite all of this, he continued urinating in places other than his litter box (and we have on box for each cat which are cleaned daily). I was getting desperate as he was choosing our bed to go potty on and my husband was NOT happy about it. I found this product while researching possible solutions online and ordered a bottle for overnight delivery. The product works GREAT...and I've ordered another bottle to ensure I have it on hand at all times. However - it does not work overnight, it took about 4 days of 2x daily dosing to make him feel better. Then no more accidents .... Unless I miss a dose, then he has an accident. I have him on a morning and night dosing schedule of .9ml. It definitely helps him and a 4oz bottle is a great value since it lasts a LONG TIME. I DO NOT recommend that anyone substitute this for a veterinary exam and care. Urinary issues in cats can be lethal if not properly diagnosed and treated. This is however a great supplemental or maintenance treatment.
Good for cats with UTI
By dlb31054
from Hamilton, Ohio
My cat had a UTI and my vet told me he was in the worse condition he had ever seen in a cat with a UTI. After treatments of antibiotic and change in food. (grain free cat food, such as Wellness core or Earthborn cat food. I now have a healthy cat. He has been on tinkle tonic now for six months. I am about to wean him from it. He is doing good. However cats are meat eaters and it's best to keep them on a grain free diet. The only cat food I found that was grain free was the two brands I listed here. This product is worth using as it saved my cat.(Also UTI stands for urinary tract infection).

Didn't work for me
By desperate
from Stephens City, VA
I have two female dogs, both 10 yrs old and both leaking when "relaxed". This did not fix either. They were both on it for two months, so this wasn't a 3 day trial and I'm done.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

CNBC had a short segment on an possible option play heading into FB earnings (they featured a covered call spread I believe). It got me thinking about what kind of option plays I could do. I was thinking about a straddle (buy 28ish strike put, buy 35ish strike call).
To be honest, I don't have too much options experience, especially heading into earnings. Will a lot of other people be buying options too, causing vols/premiums to spike? Is there even a good play that can be made here or do you think it would be better to leave it alone?
Appreciate your thoughts!

Nationality: TURBorn : 23.02.1986Place of birth: Eminömü
Height: 1.97mPosition: SF
Cetin has worked his way up to become a solid contributor on high-level teams - with a distinctive trait of having success follow him. The wing player helped Fenerbahce to the Turkish League and Cup double in 2010 and then matched the double feat with Besiktas in 2012 and even added the 2012 EuroChallenge title to his achievements. The 27-year-old was also named MVP of the 2012 Turkish Cup final. His 2013 summer started by guiding Turkey to gold at the Mediterranean Games, where they won the final against Serbia. Cetin is a difference maker from three-point range - six times hitting four triples or more in a Turkish League game in the 2012-13 season, including hitting eight treys and scoring 30 points against TED Kolejiler. He also plays solid defence and should provide a good long-range shooting threat off the bench in Slovenia.

Visit the Eastern State Penitentiary
Most of our guests have never heard of the Eastern State Penitentiary (ESP) when they come to Philadelphia. We highly recommend visiting this National Landmark that is considered to be the world's first true penitentiary.
revolutionary idea
Designed by John Haviland the Eastern State Penitentiary opened on October 25, 1829 and became quickly a model for more than 300 prisons all over the world. Its revolutionary idea was the policy of separate confinement, emphasizing principles of reform rather than punishment. The Penitentiary did not simply castigate, but was supposed to move the criminal toward spiritual reflection and change. The method was a Quaker-inspired system of complete isolation from other prisoners, with labour. The proponents of the system believed strongly that the criminals, exposed, in silence, to thoughts of their behaviour and the ugliness of their crimes, would become genuinely penitent. Thus the new word, penitentiary.
unique prison architecture
This idea lead to a unique prison architecture. The 8 x 12 feet wide and 10 feet high cells were separated by a metal door and a wooden door to filter out noise. The halls were designed to have the feel of a church. The cells were made of concrete with a single glass skylight, representing the "Eye of God", hinting to the prisoners that God was always watching them. Outside the cell, there was an individual area for exercise, enclosed by high walls so prisoners couldn't communicate. Each exercise time for each prisoner was synchronized so no two prisoners would be out at the same time.
The original design of the building was for seven one-story cell blocks, radiating in a circle array from a octagonal centre tower from where the prison could be kept under constant surveillance. This plan by Haviland became known as the hub-and-spoke plan.
For the outside Haviland chose the Gothic revival style. This was also part of the original idea to get the prisoners to "open up to God". It resulted in an impressive castle like appearance that seemed purposely to refer to the medieval times for everybody to see.
system collapse
But the policy of keeping prisoners in intense isolation, rather than leading to the spiritual actualisations and social reform it intended, induced significant mental illness among many of its prisoners instead. The whole system eventually collapsed due to overcrowding problems and starting in 1913 the Eastern State Penitentiary operated officially just as a congregate prison.
1970 the prison closed and was completely abandoned. A "forest" started to grow in the cell blocks and the building became home to many stray cats.
The City of Philadelphia purchased the site in 1980 and intended to redevelop the area. There were several proposals what to do with it, including a mall, and a luxury apartment complex surrounded by the old prison walls. In 1988 the Eastern State Penitentiary Task Force successfully petitioned Mayor Wilson Goode to halt redevelopment. And in 1994 the Pennsylvania Prison Society opened the Penitentiary for the first season of regular guided interpretative tours.
self guided tours
Today the Eastern State Penitentiary is open to the public as a museum twelve months a year. The offered tours vary with the seasons. From April to November the prison is open everyday from 10am to 5pm for self guided tours. And from June through August visitors can take advantage of the twilight hours on every Wednesday until 8pm. Every year in the fall the Eastern State Penitentiary becomes a massive Haunted House and draws visitor from all over the country for a unique Halloween experience.
To find out more about specific guided tours please visit the Eastern State Penitentiary website. If you show your student ID (or ISIC card) you will get $4 off the regular addmission or you can print a $1 off coupon by going here.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Elegant and beautiful
I purchased this design for my save-the-dates and invitations and I couldn't be more pleased with them. My wedding colors are pink and gray, so I personalized them with those colors. The process was so easy to do online. You can even change the fonts, which I did on the script portion to a prettier font. I am getting so many compliments on them! They are printed on nice card stock and the rose pattern on the backs of the cards is just such a pretty and unexpected detail. I received them less than 10 days after placing my order, and they came in a pretty box that I am using to organize all my other wedding planning supplies. In all, I'm completely happy with these and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants an elegant, classic invitation or save-the-date card.
Super Cute Card
This whimsical save the date card fit our personality as well as our wedding theme perfectly. The overall card is super cute from the front to the back.
Amazing Card
I am so incredibly pleased with how my Save the Dates came out to be! They are so much better than I was hoping for.
Lovely Card
These cards are beautiful, they look classy and everyone loved them. They are smaller than I thought they were going to be so maybe just check what size you want but apart from that can't fault them.
Beautiful design and happy with my purchase
I'm so glad I went with MagnetStreet! We decided on the Antique Rose collection and it was more beautiful in person than I'd imagined. The colors are bright, and the paper is very study, so I have no worries about bending in the mail. Also, my delivery time was very short! I cannot say enough about this company and my elegant Save the Dates. I was also very happy that personalizing my cards was very easy as I am not very computer savvy. Overall, great product, beautiful design, and lovely card paper. Thank you

'SNL' Review: Princess Anna Kendrick
Whenever SNL producers book a host who seems inexperienced in live comedy, they fall back on a kind of playbook. Stick to popular recurring bits and pretaped videos to take the burden off the host. Give her small, easy stuff that plays to her strengths, then get her out of there. If she can sing, let her sing. The goal is to Bodyguard-cradle the host, letting her enjoy herself while hiding her from the real dangers of the scary sketch comedy world.
Given how little we saw of Anna Kendrick this episode, you'd think Lorne was standing nearby off stage, ready to dive in and take a bullet.
