It's been three years since the Summit High rugby team attended nationals.
This year, today's seniors will get their chance.
Because the national tournament is slated for a weekend in May that doesn't conflict with spring sports nor does it conflict with graduation, the team has decided now is the time to make a team dream come true.
"Every year we do well, they want to go," head coach Karl Barth said of his team, which won its fifth-straight state championship in November.
Katy Peoples, the team's captain, is the sole senior to have attended the national tournament. She went as an alternate in her eighth-grade year.
"It's a great experience, playing at that level," she said, adding the training builds camaraderie. "The group of 28 practices and plays in the mornings ... It's a great bonding experience."
A challenge is exactly what junior rugby star Maddy Hunt-Snyder is looking for.
"Our team has been doing well for the past four or five years," she said. "It's not that we don't get challenged - it's just that we play the same teams. It'll be good to see how good we are against the harder teams. ... You can't just get comfortable always knowing you're going to win - it will be good to have the challenge."
It's also going to be a challenge ramping up fitness levels not only to compete in a sport the girls haven't played since November, but also to compete at the level that will be present in Wisconsin.
"Everyone else is going to be battle-hardened," Barth said, referring to the fact that other teams are coming off spring seasons and state competitions. "It will take a bit to get there."
It's also going to take some hard work fundraising. With the team deciding recently to go to the tournament in Racine, Wisc., - which is south of Milwaukee - it has three months to raise the roughly $25,000 needed for the trip.
The recent PowerBar Big Easy Snowshoe Race contributed about $1,000 to the fund - the money will go toward jerseys for the tournament - but there's a lot more to go, Barth said.
An Elks breakfast in Silverthorne on March 10 will help, too.
Peoples said recent bake sales at the Breckenridge and Dillon City Markets have been successful, and more are on their way. Meanwhile, the rugby parents' board is arranging a corporate sponsorship match.
"It's going to be a fun path, because we'll keep building as a team," said junior Lily Weldon, who is currently sidelined from the basketball team with an injury.
The fall season was a challenging one for the girls, who were feeling deflated after a slew of talented seniors departed from the team.
"Barth felt we needed something else to motivate us," Hunt-Snyder said, explaining that by dropping the seed of attending nationals should the team do well may have been a factor in building the team's confidence and drive to succeed this year.
Peoples is hoping that among the three tiers of competition at nationals, the Tigers will appear in the uppermost bracket, among the teams vying for the national title. The seeding has yet to be determined.
The spring season will involve long days for some of the girls, who will be training for rugby at the same time they're practicing with their spring sports teams.
At the same time they're training, it's all about being together.
"We don't necessarily need to be playing rugby together" to be ready to compete, Kellie Cochran said. "We just need to be together."

The game went into overtime after Amir Johnson's buzzer-beating tip-in stood following a replay review. The Raptors won it when Gay hit a 17-foot jumper with 1.7 seconds left and Paul George's 15-footer rimmed out as the horn sounded.
David West scored 30 points and George had 26 as the Pacers' 15-game home winning streak came to an end.
DeMar DeRozan scored 22 to make Toronto (18-32) the first team to win twice at Indiana (31-20) this season.
Indiana appeared to have the game won when West grabbed a rebound in the closing seconds of regulation with the Pacers clinging to a 90-88 lead, but he threw the ball away and Johnson's tip sent it to overtime.

Just a few hours after checking into Le Meurice (we're still waiting on a Blue Ivy sighting), it was off to CHANEL's couture atelier; that's where all of the artisans (a.k.a. incredibly skilled couturier called "petites mains") are hard at work on the couture collection, which we would later see go down the runway (or your Instagram feed) only hours later. Located atop 31, rue Cambon, just above Coco Chanel's one-time apartment (oh yeah, we went there, too!), the atelier is where all of the magic really happens—pardon the cliche, but is there really a better phrase for it?
After being brought past the massive line outside the actual CHANEL boutique (yes, that still happens) we were lead up into the couture atelier itself. While you'd think the atmosphere just a day before the show would have felt rushed and frenzied, the team inside the atelier couldn't have been calmer—they were almost zen-like. In fact, the team didn't even so much as blink as we toured their space, even with our photog Jake snapping away at their then top-secret creations. We watched as the staff buzzed around us, putting finishing touches and making last-minute adjustments to the pieces.
As one member of the atelier's team working that day so aptly put it, "Couture is like architecture, in the sense that it has a foundation, and then you build on top; it's all about creating structure." In fact, once Uncle Karl has completed his initial sketches and the prototypes are fitted with muslin, the production time for each piece can total up to 1000 hours. Yup—that's often up to 300 hours to hand-embroider sequins or beading, with up to an additional 300 hours just to put the piece together. With each piece being made-to-measure, down to the exact millimetre, there's no detail too small for the team to attend to... and that shows in the exquisite final product. Need further proof? See the whole collection here up-close and personal. Look, but don't touch, please!

Thirty-One States and One Tribe Join New Climate Registry
May 16, 2007
A total of 31 states and one tribe have joined The Climate Registry, a newly launched effort to measure, track, verify, and publicly report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The new Registry will support voluntary, market-based, and regulatory GHG emissions reporting programs and provides consistency and transparency across borders and throughout all sectors of the economy. With many states taking actions to cut GHG emissions, the Registry will help to identify whether one state's actions are actually resulting in increased GHG emissions in neighboring states. The initial participants in the Registry include Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and the Campo Kumeyaay Nation, which is located in southern California. See the press release, a map of participating states, and other information on The Climate Registry Web site.
Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department is offering a nation-level perspective by releasing a draft of the Fourth Climate Action Report to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The report shows that the country is on track to achieve President Bush's goal of reducing greenhouse gas intensity (the amount of GHG emissions per unit of gross domestic product) by 18 percent from 2002 to 2012. Over that same period, actual GHG emissions are projected to increase by 11 percent. The report estimates that in 2004, U.S. GHG emissions were at 7,074.4 teragrams of carbon dioxide equivalent, an increase of 15.8 percent from 1990 levels. By 2012, GHG emissions are projected to increase to more than 7,709 teragrams of carbon dioxide equivalent, which will be 26 percent above 1990 levels. The State Department is accepting public comments on the draft report until noon on Friday, May 18th. See the State Department press release and the draft report.

Bodyglide. All over my inner thighs, and of course the delicate side-boob area.
Congratulations. You get seven points for a helpful answer.
Not a correct one, though!
I'm sorry. Due to the diverse community on Active, Topics of chaffing are banned.
Please consider yourself warned.
Where does it say they are diverse?
It's good to know that side-boob is an ok discussion topic, though.
Dana, I have some tight yoga pants that after losing 11 lbs they were lose around my thighs. I tried to run in them and because the seam wasn't tight against my skin it chaffed my inner thighs.
I saw my MT a few hours after my long run. After the session, she looked at me and said "sweetie, M--- really needs to be a little more gentle with you down there."
dealt with them??? Aquaphor
bypass them? bodyglide
Yo Dana, how's it hangin'? I don't have chafing problems because I often wear compression shorts which protect my inner thighs. But sometimes on runs over 20 miles the hair in my butt crack gets irritated. So I apply a liberal amount of Bodyglide to said crack. It works well and also is a good precaution in case I get kidnapped by a bus load of pirates.
I'd have thought pirates would be in boats rather than buses.
Huh. I really don't know nuttin'.
Bloody nipples, of course. I am sure someone around her has a picture that can get all banned.
If you think long runs are bad, try cycling for 3+ hours....It's murder on the girl parts. Probably the boy parts too, but I dont have any of those.
I am a strong believer in aquaphor as well.
I work with the Anti-Monkey Butt Team, and all biases aside,
I've gotta say- this stuff really works to fight chafing problems. We've sent it this powder
to countless runners, bikers, and athletes, and nearly everyone has positive
reviews- it's got talc and calamine which gives it the cooling sensation that other powders dont have.
and check out this funny clip on fighting chafing!
When I used to run marathons I would place band aids over my nipples, and use vaseline in other areas...The first marathon I ran, I could not believe how sore my chest was from the rubing that took place just from wearing a damp teeshirt.....
I never noticed that problem with 1/2 marathons or other shorter races....
Good question....
every once in a while a squid manages to wiggle it's way up my trouser leg and that can result in a good deal of uncomfortable chafing.
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

4x4 Curriculum
What is a 4 x 4 curriculum?
Students take four courses at four credits each versus the previous five courses at three credits each. Semester credit hours are counted toward graduation instead of courses. Fewer courses do not equal less work though, as students encounter a more focused and in-depth experience that is heavier on reading, writing, research, and various kinds of experiential learning.
Transitioning to a 4 x 4 curriculum wasn't just a change in the number of credits and courses. Every course in every major and minor was re-assessed, institutional and distribution requirements were adapted and adjusted appropriately, and the changes were examined and approved by a college wide transition team and ultimately the president and the board.
- Out of the top 50 liberal arts colleges, 47 already have a 4 x 4 curriculum. With this major change, Merrimack has developed a very distinctive curriculum, one that also incorporates service learning, experiential learning and Augustinian values.
- Studies have shown that today's students are better able to handle four courses than five. Learning outcomes are improved when they can spend more time studying and exploring four subjects in greater depth.

They are an attractive, colorful, simple base for a very ornate table setting. After the holiday they are relegated to everyday use. Being cotton, it is very difficult to remove grease, but these are the best option Iʻve found anywhere at the best price.

5.2-3 CUTPA - Unfair Trade Practice - "Cigarette
Revised to January 1, 2008
The plaintiff claims that the
defendant's <insert conduct> constituted an unfair trade practice
that violates CUTPA. Certain guidelines have been established as to what
constitutes an unfair trade practice. The plaintiff must establish that the
defendant's <insert conduct> meets at least one of the three
following criteria:
it offends public policy as it
has been established by statutes, the common law or other established
concept of unfairness; or
it is immoral, unethical,
oppressive or unscrupulous; or
it causes substantial injury to
consumers, competitors or other business persons.
I will now give additional
instructions on these criteria.
Edmands v. CUNO, Inc., 277 Conn.
425, 450 n.16 (2006); Willow Springs Condominium Assn., Inc. v. Seventh
BRT Development Corp., 245 Conn. 1, 43 (1998); Fink v. Golenbock,
238 Conn. 183, 215 (1996); Larsen Chelsey Realty Co. v. Larsen, 232
Conn. 480, 507 (1995); Tarka v. Filipovic, 45 Conn. App. 46, 55,
cert. denied, 242 Conn. 903 (1997); Meyers v. Cornwell Quality Tools,
Inc., 41 Conn. App. 19, 35 (1996).
Use this instruction and the
three that follow only if the CUTPA claim is for an "unfair trade practice."
Many Connecticut cases also
make this statement in conjunction with the "Cigarette Rule": "An act or
practice may be unfair because of the degree to which it meets one of the
criteria or because, to a lesser extent, it meets all three." This sentence
directly contradicts another sentence that appears in all of those cases:
"The plaintiff must establish that the defendant's conduct meets at least
one of the three following criteria." The cases cite Statement of Basis and
Purpose, Disclosure Requirements and Prohibitions Concerning Franchising and
Business Opportunities, 43 Fed. Reg. 59,614 and 59,635 (1978) for this
proposition. Although that sentence does indeed appear in the Federal
Register, there is no explanation there. This quote only appears in
Connecticut CUTPA caselaw. It does not appear in FTC Act cases or in other
states' unfair trade practices statute cases. Moreover, in the Connecticut
cases in which an unfair trade practice was found, the court or jury also
found that at least one of the three prongs of the Cigarette Rule was
violated. Indeed, it appears to be impossible to meet the "substantial
injury" prong to a "lesser extent" under the caselaw on that prong.

Florida Southern to Begin Work on Site for Business College
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 4:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 4:06 a.m.
LAKELAND | Florida Southern College is already bursting with pride for being known as the most beautiful campus in the nation — and administrators say a new building that will house its business college is going to make the school even prettier.
The owner of Peace River Citrus Products, Bill Becker is a 1965 alumnus of the college and former chairman of the Florida Citrus Commission.
Florida Southern College breaks ground today on the new Bill and Mary Ann Becker Business Building at Lake Hollingsworth Drive and Hollingsworth Road.
The building was designed by the dean of the Yale School of Architecture, Robert A.M. Stern. He also designed the Nicholas and Wesley Barnett Resident Halls and the Dr. Marcene H. and Robert E. Christoverson Humanities Building at the college.
Bill Becker and his wife, Mary Ann, donated a $5 million naming gift to FSC for the building. The owner of Peace River Citrus Products, Bill Becker is a 1965 alumnus of the college and former chairman of the Florida Citrus Commission.
The Becker Building will house the Barney Barnett School of Business and Free Enterprise. The three-story, 40,000-square-foot building is projected to cost more than $20 million and should be completed by the summer of 2015. Business students currently use the Carlisle Rogers Building.
"We are very pleased that the building is actually coming to fruition," Becker said in an email Wednesday. "It will be exciting to see it come out of the ground and become a reality.
"What interested me in this particular project was the decision to dedicate an entire building to the support of the Florida Southern business degree. In our industry, as with all others, an education in business principals and ethics is the cornerstone of success. Since I had decided that we should give something back to Florida Southern, this business building seemed to be the perfect vehicle for that objective."
College President Anne Kerr said it's a top-notch facility that will serve business students well. "This dynamic, state-of-the-art facility will be a place where generations of students prepare for important careers throughout the world," she said.
The building will feature a simulated trading floor — a laboratory where students can learn firsthand about investment analysis and trading strategies. It also will feature a computer lab, a career and placement center, group meeting rooms, faculty offices and a cafe.
Stern's contemporary designs for the college complement the Frank Lloyd Wright collection at Florida Southern, which boasts the world's largest single-site collection of Wright's designs.
Kathleen Munson, president of the Lakeland Area Chamber of Commerce, said Lakeland is fortunate to be graced with the college, which counts in its honors cache that of the "Most Beautiful Campus in the Nation," courtesy of the Princeton Review.
"This is going to raise the bar to an even higher level," Munson said of the Becker Building. "Florida Southern is really one of the greatest assets we have in this community. This is so exciting, to add to the incredible campus footprint that we have here already."
A groundbreaking ceremony, complete with shovels and dignitaries, will be held at the site at 11:30 a.m.

Canceled ABC Soaps to Be Reborn on the Web
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 4:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 4:28 a.m.
After some classic soap opera twists — union spats, outraged fans, squishy financing — a Hollywood production company, Prospect Park, on Monday confirmed that the canceled "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" would live on in cyberspace. For real this time.
Prospect Park, run by Jeff Kwatinetz, said production would resume in February on the serial dramas, both of which ended epic runs in recent months after ABC decided the costly programs had dim futures. When new episodes will be made available via theOnlineNetwork.com is not clear. Kwatinetz and his business partner, Rich Frank, also declined to say which cast members might return.
But Prospect Park has solved the union and financing problems that torpedoed the soap-saving effort after it was first announced in the fall. The company confirmed Monday that new agreements are in place with the major actors' union, SAG-AFTRA, and with the Directors Guild of America.
The "necessary financing" is also set, as is the involvement of Agnes Nixon, the creator of both soaps. The Online Network also named three other senior executives.
This is about more than saving soap operas, which have a relatively small but intensely loyal fan base. It is a bold bet that the Web — because of the proliferation of broadband, Internet-enabled TVs and the iPad — is now a practical way to funnel traditional shows to viewers.
If the popularity of streamed 30-minute and 60-minute shows on Netflix and Hulu is any indication, consumers are ready to move beyond using the Web for bite-size video, Kwatinetz and Frank are gambling.
"I know it's been a long journey, but the timing is actually fortuitous as TV viewing is evolving rapidly in our direction," Kwatinetz said in an interview. "The adoption of online TV in the last year has begun to move exponentially as viewers start to realize the immense advantages digital distribution affords. But all of that is unmatched compared to the relentless fan support. Since they didn't give up, neither did we."

Doctors at the hospital's Vascular Birthmark Institute were enticed by the chance to study anomalies of the arteries and veins that are rare in humans but common in dogs. And the traffic between human and animal hospitals flows in the other direction, too: Late last month, veterinarians from the Animal Medical Center began meeting with their counterparts at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to set up trials of a noninvasive device for removing tumors of the urinary tract with electrical impulses. Exchanges of this sort are becoming increasingly common. Once a narrow trail traveled by a few hardy pioneers, the road connecting veterinary colleges and human medical institutions has become a busy thoroughfare over the last five years or so, with a steady flow of researchers representing a wide variety of medical disciplines on both sides.

The Sharks play their first game at the SAP Center in almost a month Tuesday night when they face the Carolina Hurricane, and it should be interesting to see whether veteran Antti Niemi or rookie Alex Stalock gets the start in net.
Back-up Stalock earned San Jose's two road wins since the Olympic break, while Niemi absorbed the lone loss. And Stalock has played enough games now that it's reasonable to note that his .933 save percentage and 1.78 goals against average are better than the Niemi's at .911 and 2.40.
Coach Todd McLellan generally isn't disclosing his choice until game day, and seemed a little perturbed Sunday when asked after San Jose's win in New Jersey which goalie would see action Tuesday.
"We have two of them," the coach said, "and one of them is going to be in."

SAN FRANCISCO -- It was a clash of billionaire tech CEOs on Tuesday as Oracle's (ORCL) Larry Ellison and Google's (GOOG) Larry Page appeared in a federal courtroom to testify in a high-stakes software dispute that has pitted their companies against each other.
One is older, richer and more practiced at speaking before a packed courtroom audience. The other is younger, more reclusive -- and sometimes seemed to have trouble making eye contact when questioned on the witness stand.
But under intense grilling, both of the iconic Silicon Valley leaders made statements that may have helped opposing attorneys score points with the jury. Oracle is seeking nearly $1 billion in damages after claiming that Google made improper use of Oracle's Java development tools while building the Android mobile operating system, which is now the leading smartphone platform in the world. Google has denied those claims.
Ellison, the 67-year-old Oracle founder and often pugnacious chief of the business software giant, acknowledged for the first time publicly Tuesday that Oracle had explored making its own Java-based smartphone system -- and even considered buying phone-makers Research In Motion or Palm -- to compete with Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, before Oracle sued Google over its Android mobile software.
"I had the idea we could enter the smartphone business and compete," he said.
He made the comments under questioning by Google attorney Robert Van Nest, who argued to jurors in his opening statement Tuesday morning that Oracle sued because it wanted a piece of Android's success after failing to develop its own product.
Taking the stand later in the day, the 39-year-old Page -- who co-founded Google but only recently took a more prominent role as CEO -- found himself repeatedly claiming ignorance about the details of how Android was developed.
"I'm not familiar with what steps were taken, but I have no knowledge of any issues" or violations, he said in a typical response to a series of questions, posed in a highly skeptical tone by Oracle attorney David Boies. Page added, "I think we did nothing wrong."
As the trial got under way Monday, Oracle attorney Michael Jacobs told jurors that Google infringed Java patents and copyrights that Oracle acquired when it bought Sun Microsystems, where Java was developed in the 1990s. Sun distributed the Java programming language under an open-source license, while setting conditions on the use of related programming tools.
Tuesday, Google's Van Nest told jurors that Google didn't need a license from Oracle or Sun because Google used only the programming language and other Java elements that were freely available in the public domain.
"It's not about them protecting their intellectual property. It's not about protecting the Java community," Van Nest told jurors, referring to Oracle and its decision to file suit. "They want to share in Google's success with Android even though they had nothing to do with Android."
The case is being watched closely in Silicon Valley because it could have broad impact for the software industry. Java is one of the most widely used programming systems in the world, while Android is found on more smartphones than even Apple's popular iOS.
But most of the anticipation in the packed courtroom Tuesday was focused on the testimony of Ellison and Page. In a nod to the serious nature of the occasion, both men came to court dressed uncharacteristically in dark suits and ties.
Ellison is the third-richest man in the United States, according to Forbes, which estimates his wealth at $36 billion. In that regard, he outranks Page, whom Forbes lists as the 13th-richest person in the United States, with wealth of nearly $19 billion.
No stranger to the inside of a courtroom, Ellison has launched several lawsuits on behalf of Oracle against rival tech companies over alleged theft of intellectual property. Under the gentle prompting of Oracle's attorney, Ellison began his testimony by giving jurors an informal tutorial on software and then explained why copyrights are essential to protecting Oracle's $5 billion annual investment in research and development.
"If people could copy our software and create cheap knockoffs of our products, we wouldn't get paid for our engineering and wouldn't be able to invest what we invest," Ellison testified.
But under cross-examination by Google's Van Nest, Ellison was forced to acknowledge he told an audience of Java developers in 2010 that "everyone should be flattered" by Android's use of the Java language.
Later, Ellison also acknowledged that Oracle had formed an internal group to explore "Project Java Phone" in 2009 as Oracle was closing the deal to buy Sun.
"We explored it and we decided it would be a bad idea," he said.
Ellison also said he spoke with Page and Google Chairman Eric Schmidt in 2010 about a proposal for Google to use some of Oracle's Java components in Android. Shortly after Google balked at the proposal, Oracle filed its lawsuit.
Under further questioning, Ellison denied that his interest in developing a smartphone was related to the current lawsuit.
Before calling Ellison to testify, Oracle's attorneys began their presentation Tuesday by playing a video of Page answering questions in a pretrial deposition. Pressed by a hostile attorney, Page appeared hesitant and chose his words carefully during the deposition, in contrast to Ellison's confident presentation in court.
Page, who took the witness stand Tuesday afternoon, testified for less than half an hour before proceedings ended for the day. He is scheduled to return Wednesday morning.

Liam Meirow ran his fastest time, shattered a Summit High School record by more than 30 seconds and landed himself a spot in the cross-country state championships for the second time in the junior's high school career.
The regional champion finished the 5k race in 15 minutes, 52 seconds, finishing ahead of his closest competition, Durango's Joe Maloney, by 10 seconds.
"It was really exciting," head coach Heather Quarantillo said. "We knew they had a very fast runner. ... Liam played his cards very well. He started slowly with a 5:14 in the first mile. He chased down Durango between miles one and two ... He ran a sub 5-minute mile as his last mile, which is incredible for cross-country."
Meirow held the former school record, 16:23 on the same course, set in the 2011 season.
He'll be accompanied to state by the girls' cross-country team, who placed third of 10 teams at the regional meet in Delta Wednesday to become the first harriers team since 2009 to attend state together.
In recent history, junior Katherine Pappas qualified the past two years and Meirow qualified last year. Summit hasn't sent an entire boys' team to the state meet since 2008 - and missed the mark again Wednesday, placing seventh of 10 teams.
"We needed to have everyone with their very best races of the season," head coach Heather Quarantillo said. "We weren't quite there this season, but look forward to trying again next season."
Meanwhile, on the girls' side, senior Sydney Stein will be enjoying a return to state three years after accompanying her team as a freshman. Stein ran in 21 minutes, 41 seconds to place 48th of 88 runners.
Freshmen McKenna Ramsay and Ruthie Boyd placed fifth and ninth overall, respectively, putting themselves in a spot to attend the state championships individually had the team not qualified. Ramsay finished in 18:58, one second behind her personal best time set last week in Englewood.
Shannon Maloney of Durango High won the race in 18:10, coming out ahead of a tight foursome.
"(McKenna) ran very well, and was super competitive," Quarantillo said. "She outsprinted a girl from Battle Mountain, Mandy Ortiz, who beat her at the Englewood Windjammer race last week. That was really exciting."
Though the team finished third overall, the bottom line for the team is that they're headed to state.
"To go with a complete team is exactly what we were hoping for," Quarantillo said, adding that Battle Mountain peaks well in the regional meet. The team finished first with 49 points, followed by Durango, which finished with 74 points. Eagle Valley and Montrose finished fourth and fifth, respectively, and will also be attending state.
"Battle Mountain always runs fast at regionals," Quarantillo said. "They earned their No. 1 spot, and we knew Durango would be tough competition. We are happy with our place. We had hoped for first or second, but third place is solidly a qualifying team."
The state meet is on Oct. 27 at the Penrose Equestrian Center in Colorado Springs.

A committee of the Vermont Senate this week is continuing to plow through the details of a wide-ranging tax bill that could limit the home mortgage interest deduction for state income taxes.
But another tax break looks likely to be preserved. Senator Bob Hartwell, a Bennington County Democrat, broke a tie straw vote in the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday to keep the state tax credits available to investors in the Vermont Higher Education Investment Program.
Committee Chairman Tim Ashe says he expects the committee will be looking to raise $10 million in higher taxes.
Items under consideration include a 3 percent tax on break-open betting tickets and expanding the sales tax to cover bottled water.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team dropped it's first Southland Conference game today against UTSA, 6-1, before bouncing back to take a 2-1 decision over the Roadrunners at Chapman Field.
In the first game, the Roadrunners and Islanders (5-11, 1-1) stayed scoreless through five innings before UTSA posted four runs in the top of the sixth and two in the seventh. The Islanders tallied three costly errors in the two innings combined and the Roadrunners capitalized on seven total hits to seal their first conference victory of the season.
UTSA (9-11, 1-1) jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the second before a two-run fifth inning by the Islanders lifted them to a 2-1 victory over the Roadrunners in the second game to even the series at 1-1. The Islanders tallied seven hits to the Roadrunners five behind Vianca Pesina's solid seven innings in the circle.
The Islanders will continue conference play at home against Texas State on Friday and Saturday. First pitch on Friday is slated for 2 p.m. with Saturday's game scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

GAME 1: UTSA 6, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi 1
A sixth-inning offensive burst helped lift the Roadrunners to their first conference victory of the season. The Islanders and Roadrunners stayed scoreless through the first five innings. Senior Jordan Trujillo retired nine straight batters in the third, fourth and fifth frames before UTSA's batters connected on four hits in the top of the sixth. Nikki Goff doubled to shortstop to get the offense going and eventually tacked up the Roadrunners first run of the game on a throwing error. Geena Garcia plated UTSA's second run on an Ashley Kappler sacrifice fly to center field. UTSA padded the lead to 2-0 on two unearned runs. Megan Low and Molly Fichtner both scored on a Haylee Staton double down the left field line after they both reached base on singles.
The Islanders scored one run in the sixth before UTSA built a 6-1 lead in the seventh. Pinch runner Alejia Cain plated the Islanders only run of the game on a Meagan McKinney RBI groundout to shortstop in the bottom of the sixth. UTSA scored two more runs on two hits in the seventh. Courtney Buchman and Garcia both plated runs on a Fichtner double to right field.
Cassie Redman led the Islanders with two hits, while Hannah Schwarz and Sandy Schumann each added one hit apiece.
Trujillo (3-3) took the loss for the Islanders to even her record at 3-3. In seven innings of work, she allowed seven hits, six runs, two walks, while striking out a season-high eight batters.
Staton (6-1) earned her seventh victory of the season in the circle in seven innings. She limited the Islanders to just four hits, one run, while walking three and striking out four batters.
GAME 2: Texas A&M - Corpus Christi 2, UTSA 1
UTSA jumped on the board first in the top of the second with two hits and one run. Staton scored on a Buchman RBI single up the middle, after she reached base on a single to left field. The Islanders answered in the fifth frame with two go-ahead runs against UTSA's hurler Haylee Staton. Schumann started the Islanders bats off with a single and advanced to second on a Mickayla Heller sacrifice bunt to third base. Redman followed suit with a single up the middle to advance Schumann to third. Schwarz's RBI sacrifice bunt plated Schumann and Cassie Carroll scored Redman to plate the Islanders go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly to right field.
The Islanders held the Roadrunners scoreless in the final two innings. Pesina retired three straight batters in the sixth before escaping the seventh and leaving one UTSA runner stranded on base.
Heller paced the Islanders offense with two hits and five other Islanders tallied at least one hit for a combined seven. Schwarz and Carroll each tallied one RBI apiece and Redman, Schwarz, Cain and Heller each registered one stolen base.
Pesina (1-4) clinched her first victory of the season in the circle. She limited the Roadrunners to five hits, one run, while striking out three and walking one.
Staton (6-2) took the loss for the Roadrunners in 4.1 innings in the circle. She allowed six hits, two runs, while striking out just one Islander batter. Alyssa Vordenbaum allowed just one hit, while walking three and striking out one in 1.2 innings for UTSA.

Taking Time
Hi there,
I know you've been waiting to hear from me. It's been a little crazy, sorry. I just gotta say, thanks for all the encouragement and for all the sharing you did with your own stories after my last email. I knew I wasn't alone. Just know that as I take this journey into all that my 40s will be, I am looking forward to every day of it, and I am thanking God for it and you. I like being this age. It has given me a sense of liberation. I'm no longer a boy...I finally feel like a grown man (smile).
So many people have asked me why I started talking about this now...I don't know where they've been for the last ten years. I've always talked about it but never to this degree, I guess. I think it became overwhelming after turning 40 and also filming a 60 MINUTES interview. If you get a chance to watch it, the interview airs this Sunday after the football game.
It made me come face-to-face with so many things. Byron Pitts asked me so many questions, that it started me thinking about my entire life. We went back to my old neighborhood and the house I grew up in. Wow! That was hard! But it's a journey that I have to face. I feel as if God is allowing me to look back...for my future...if that makes any sense.
For instance, when my father heard about my last email, he sent a message to me through my brother. He told him to tell me this: "If I had beat your ass one more time you probably would have been Barack Obama." I don't even know what to do with that. No sooner than he sent me this message, my aunt called telling me to come home because my mother was very ill, (she needs your prayers) so I've been flying back and forth trying to keep my obligations all over the country and at the same time be by her side. It is very hard to see her this way, as well as my having to sit ten feet from my father, when I do...God is funny; He will make you deal with stuff even when you think you're over it.
I said all of that to say, it may be a while before you hear from me again. I need to take some time away. After the PRECIOUS premiere on November 1st, I've decided to take the rest of the year off. I just need a break.
I thank God for you and, again, thanks for being there and understanding.

OAKLAND -- Banged-up Warriors big men Andrew Bogut and David Lee returned to limited practice Thursday, but will be game-day decisions for Friday's contest against Minnesota, according to coach Mark Jackson.
Bogut (right knee strain) and Lee (left shoulder sprain) were injured in the Warriors' 102-94 loss to Indiana on Monday, with Bogut banging knees with another player and Lee drawing contact from 7-foot-2, 290-pound Indiana center Roy Hibbert.
Lee said he couldn't raise his arm above his head for a day and a half before doing some shooting drills Thursday, but that he will warm up before the Timberwolves game and try to play through the discomfort.
"This is a very slow healing process, but to be honest with you, when it happened I thought I had dislocated my shoulder 100 percent because of the guy involved," Lee said, adding that an X-ray after the game came back negative.
"They told me I was going to be in a lot of pain for these next couple of weeks playing through it, but I've played through worse."
Bogut practiced "a little bit," according to Jackson, who said health would help the Warriors against the Timberwolves. Minnesota features big men Kevin Love (25.0 points, 13.0 rebounds) and center Nikola Pekovic (18.2 points, 9.2 rebounds).
"Those guys can score, they can rebound, they're a handful, so we need to be healthy," Jackson said. "But like always, if not, next man up, and we've got to find a way to get it done."

In a ceremony today with Governor Robert Bentley, Jim Bennett was sworn in as Alabama's 52nd Secretary of State. Bennett, who previously held the post from 1993 to 2003, was already the longest continuously serving Secretaries of State in recent history and is among the longest serving secretaries of state in Alabama history.
"It's an honor to return to this office once again," said Bennett. "I will work to ensure this transition goes as smoothly as possible for the citizens of our great state."
"We are already in the beginning of the 2014 election cycle and I will work to ensure a smooth and efficient election," he said.
Bennett first became Secretary of State after he was appointed to fill a vacancy in office in 1993. Subsequently, he was then elected in his own right to two terms. He was also the first president of the National Association of Secretaries of State from Alabama, serving the 1999-2000 term.
Before his first appointment as Secretary of State, Bennett served in the Alabama House of Representatives from 1979 to 1983 and in the Alabama Senate from 1983 to 1993. While there, he championed the cause of campaign finance disclosure as one of the principal authors of the Fair Campaign Practices Act.
Bennett's most recent post was as Commissioner of the Department of Labor under both Governors Riley and Bentley. He also holds a BS degree from Jacksonville State University, where he now serves as chairman of the Board of Trustees. He also received an MA from the University of Alabama.
