Call out your friends, co-workers and loved ones to get off the couch and into the mud.
Whether they're helping you over the wall or chasing you up the mountain, make sure they're with you at the starting line.
Teams can be any size but must have at least 4 members to be included in the team rankings.
The best way to ensure that you are starting at the exact same start time as your friends is to create a Team during registration (or have your friends Join your team!).
Any racers that are registered as part of a team, on the SAME DAY in the SAME TIME BLOCK (Elite vs. Competitive vs. Morning vs. Afternoon), will be moved to the common team start time in each block when start times and bib numbers are assigned (about 10 days prior to the event). Racers that are registered for Sunday will not be moved to Saturday with a team, or vice versa.
Team times are NOT determined by the captains start time. Team members will be grouped together within each block (Elite, Competitive, Morning OR Afternoon), based on the preferred time that the majority of team members in that block choose.
Racers that are registered for Elite or Morning start times will NOT be grouped with racers in the Afternoon start times or vice versa.
Getting all your friends registered and lined up together on race day can be tricky. Avoid any confusion by checking out: 2017: Team Registration and Start Times.

Posted on July 6, 2012
Yesterday was one of the hottest days in the history of Chicago, and by all accounts, today is going to match it. This is the third time since 1911 that our high temperature has topped 100 degrees for three days in a row. I do hope the weather is getting this sort of thing out of its system. We have had record-temperature Book Fairs (how many of you out there remember the year we pointed what looked like two jet engines at the Bughouse speakers?) but the records I'm aiming for involve dollar signs, not degrees.
In any case, I thought this would be a good time to pass along some tips about what to do with your books during periods of excessive heat. This is the sort of information a library ought to be passing around, and I'll take on the job if no one else will. You may wish to print out this blog (if you don't do that every day already) and file this with your important papers. Here goes; WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR BOOKS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE RISES ABOVE 97 DEGREES:
Sit at home and read them.
I hate to whine, but, after all, I'm good at it, and the world would be deprived if I denied my talents. What is up with you people who decided to bring books over through a heat index estimated at about 110 degrees? Are you too bookish ever to turn on the local weather? Can't switch on your radio with both hands clutching a book?
And it was, if I might mention this, July 5. There have been hints in this blog and elsewhere on the website, that we discourage donations after the Fourth of July. So it was historically hot AND after the donation period. And still someone had to drive in with a dozen paper bags full of textbooks. (We, er, don't sell most textbooks, and my remarks on paper bags would probably cause them to ignite on a day like today.)
Still and all, it's part of the wonderful world of book donations. Over the years, I have started to understand the language of the good and generous people who bring us presents. Such folk read our signals differently than we might have intended.
For example, the Book Fair banners going up on the fences around the building means "Time to take over those old Britannicas!"
The phrase "we cannot accept books between the Fourth of July and Labor Day" reads as "Hey, better bring over all those old Architectural Digests!"
"Excessive Heat Warning" translates "We'd love to come help you clean out that storage locker. Be sure to go through each box book by book while we're standing there, to be sure you don't give us anything valuable!"
"Avoid driving so you don't increase the ozone levels" can mean nothing but "Drive into town with those twenty boxes of books left over from your three-family garage sale, put the car in neutral, and honk until the Book Fair Manager comes out and unloads them all. Ask for three receipts."
And that little "Thank you!" through clenched teeth as I hand over the receipt? That means, "Yes, by all means bring the rest tomorrow when it's 104!"

Bundled with layers of clothing, thick gloves and heavy winter gear to ward off the cold, Larry Copeland was still shivering a little as he removed snow at the Montezuma County Fairgrounds Thursday morning.
Copeland is one of many people whose job requires them to be outside even when temperatures dip below zero degrees. Mail carriers, road and maintenance departments and landfill workers are just a few of the professions that require employees to work outside in freezing temperatures.
Copeland has been on snow removal duty since snow started falling pretty consistency.
Copeland was wearing a regular jacket on top of a sweatshirt, a long sleeve shirt and a T-shirt on Thursday morning as he shoveled snow at the fairgrounds.
He also wore a scarf for his neck, gloves for his hands and a hat for his head.
While low temperatures have been close to minus 10 the last few days, Copeland just accepts it as a winter reality.
In fact, Copeland said he begins the day at 5 a.m. to tend to his cows before heading for work at about 8 a.m.
Temperatures at 8 a.m. Thursday were between minus 8 and 10 degrees. Temperatures climbed to around 25 in the afternoon.
The below-zero temperatures continued Friday morning with a wind chill temperature at minus 10 degrees.
Last night temperatures bottomed out at minus 1 after reaching 22 degrees during the day, and today's temperatures will be about the same.
Relief from the bitter cold could be about a week away, the National Weather Service is reporting.
On Sunday, temperatures are expected to range from 34 in the day and down to 9 degrees at night, while Monday's temperatures are forecast to be between 11 and 37 degrees.
On Tuesday the low temperature is expected to be about 13 degrees.
Joe Ramey from the National Weather Service pointed to the snow on the ground as one reason why temperatures have been so low and will continue to be so until later next week.
"What we are having right now is the Christmas Eve snow that put us in a deep freeze," Ramey said.
The average high for Cortez for this time of year is 40 degrees, he said.
The NWS forecaster said the cold air is trapped on the valley floor, and that weather is warmer at higher elevations like the San Juan Mountains.
Copeland said the colder temperatures this year seem a little bit harsher than last year.
"I don't know if you can get acclimated to the weather," he said.
Copeland also said the job of removing snow is to make sure the fairgrounds remain open and accessible to the public in the winter months.
Although the forecast calls for cold temperatures, no snow is expected in the near future.

William Desimone remembers his son Josef's christening day. Josef's grandfather, Ernest, held the infant in his arms 44 years ago and said, "This one's going to do something someday."
SILVER SPRINGS SHORES -- William Desimone remembers his son Josef's christening day. Josef's grandfather, Ernest, held the infant in his arms 44 years ago and said, "This one's going to do something someday."
"I'll never forgot those words," Desimone said. "Obviously, it came true."
Josef, called "Joey" by family members, went to culinary school in Charleston, S.C., and his career spiraled upward. For the last five years, he worked as an executive chef for Facebook, Inc., in Menlo Park, Calif., and traveled the world setting up corporate cafes at the company's properties.
"He lived life to the fullest," William Desimone, who lives in Silver Springs Shores, said about his son.
On Monday, Josef Desimone, 44, was killed in a motorcycle accident in Columbus, Ohio. He and his brother, William Jr., known as Billy, were on a cross-country motorcycle trip from Charlotte, W. Va., to California.
According to the grieving father, the weather was bad Monday night. Billy was leading on his bike with Joey following behind. As the two men approached a difficult intersection, there was an SUV with a flat tire stopped in the road. Billy was able to swerve his bike, but Joey could not and crashed his bike. He died at the scene.
Thousands of entries were made in response to a posting Monday by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announcing Joey's death, which reads:
"Josef was a Facebook legend and institution. 'Chef Josef' joined us in 2008 and built our culinary team from a handful of employees in a single cafe into a global team with dozens of world class restaurants. He never compromised on quality while maintaining total attention to detail. Josef played an incredibly important role in defining our culture during those first years and right up to the present.
"Away from Facebook, Josef was just as energetic and driven. Almost every weekend he was volunteering with veterans' organizations, hosting firefighter breakfasts or supporting some other valuable cause. He had a strong belief in giving back more in life than he took, and it shows in all the people who mourn him today."
Zuckerberg apparently had confidence in Joey, so much so that "Chef Josef" prepared the food for Zuckerberg's wedding.
"He left that all up to Joey," William Desimone said. "Facebook is going to have a big celebration in honor of my son."
He said he likely will not attend the Aug. 3 event.
"I don't think I would have the emotion for it," he said.
The family is planning a memorial mass at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Silver Spring Shores in September, at a date yet to be determined.
Desimone and his wife, Debra, Joey's stepmother, remember him as fun-loving. They said he enjoyed sports and music, and was a loyal friend who was charitable, generous and loved children, and who had a wonderful sense of humor.
"Uncle Joey was like Santa Claus," Desimone said about the way his son treated his one niece and four nephews. "He loved to sit and talk with them and find out what is going on in their lives."
And he loved to cook, but he never cooked for his father and Debra, they said. When he would come to visit them in between his whirlwind trips around the world and his busy life in California, they would go out to eat so they could sit and talk.
But an affinity for cooking seems to run in the family.
"I cooked for him - spaghetti, lasagna, pizza, Thanksgiving dinners," said Desimone, who is a retired mechanic. "My daughters are good cooks, too, excellent cooks and bakers. And Joey's brother, Billy, also is a chef, who runs a catering business and owns a diner in West Virginia.
Joey was born in North Syracuse, N.Y., the youngest of four children. He moved to South Florida with his family when he was 2 years old. When his parents divorced, he moved to Gainesville with his mother, Janet Lowe, where he went to elementary school. He went to high school in Dania and, while there, went to work at the First Watch restaurant. As an adult, he worked as a house painter but, when he was about 30 years old, he told his father he could not see himself doing that work when he got older.
"He decided to go to culinary school because he always liked to cook," Desimone said.
After culinary school, Joey, who was divorced and had no children, took a job at a hotel restaurant in San Francisco. He then went to work for Google to set up their cafes. Facebook lured him away for a similar job.
Debra said Joey was not a name-dropper but in conversation would mention casually that he had cooked with celebrity chefs such as Emeril Lagasse and Wolfgang Puck.
"We are learning things about Joey and his life we didn't know because he was not a bragger," Debra said about reading the many online postings.
"Joey always had a good time whether it was with us or with his friends. He kept friends from high school. When he was your friend, he was a friend for life," Debra said.
Desimone said he never realized his son was such a celebrity.
"He was definitely family-oriented," he said.
Family photos show Joey smiling with his brother, Billy, and his sisters, Donna and Karen, at his side.
"He worked hard and he played hard," Desimone said.

Feds get Northern Pass route(s)By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 04. 2013 10:26PM
Northern Pass partners submitted their amended application to the federal Department of Energy on July 1, just three days after unveiling a new route for the controversial hydroelectric project that calls for laying eight miles of transmission line underground along existing roadways in the North Country.
The amended application reflects key developments in the project since the filing of the original application in October 2010, and contains a description of an alternative route that would require an easement through the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters Conservation area.
Northern Pass partners say they have no intention of pursuing the alternative route, and presented it as a formality.
"We realize this alternative is both politically and emotionally sensitive," the partners state in a July 2 post on their Northern Pass website. "However, the federal (application) process requires an alternatives analysis, and it is important to list any plan that was thoroughly researched and that could be legally and technically viable, as is the case with this alternative."
The alternative would follow the route of properties that have been purchased in Clarksville and Stewartstown by the real estate subsidiary of Northern Pass, and is consistent with the path followed by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests in efforts to acquire easements that would block the project.
"We do not have the authority to use Connecticut Lakes Headwaters property," the July 2 posting states. "Any uses of it depends on consent of Connecticut Lakes Realty Trust and the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development, and we have made no formal request to the state to use the Connecticut Lakes property."
The alternative route proceeds south and then east from property owned by Northern Pass in Clarksville, continues onto Route 145 and progresses along Old County Road into Stewartstown, where it would continue onto North Hill Road, Bear Rock Road and to other property Northern Pass owns.
It would then proceed east and then south almost entirely on Northern Pass property, with the exception of approximately 100 feet of land in the conservation area.
"Overhead is not a viable option there, and Connecticut Lakes Realty Trust and the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development would have to consent to the construction of an underground segment across that short distance. For constructability and visibility purposes the underground segment would be approximately 1,100 feet long," the application states.
Northern Pass holds only a 62 percent interest in one of the parcels along the alternate route. "If it were pursuing this alternative route, Northern Pass would have to sue for partition to obtain the right to construct on that parcel," the company said.
Near Concord Airport
The application also states that Northern Pass will seek permission to run lines near the Concord Airport on an existing right of way, which was originally designated as an alternative route in the southern section.
"Thus we no longer need or support use of the route through Concord, Pembroke and Chichester as was originally proposed in order to avoid the area near the airport," the application states.
The application also describes various alternatives to Northern Pass, and claims that all of them "suffer from some combination of significant technical, economic, legal, environmental and practical challenges that would result in abandonment of the project and would otherwise fail to meet the purpose and need for which the project has been designed."email@example.com

Charging seniors: The right policy for state parksEDITORIAL
March 23. 2013 3:02AM
Every New Hampshire resident can get into our state parks and historic sites, as well as Cannon Mountain Ski Area, for free. All you have to do is reach the age of 65. Or you can be an elected legislator or Executive Council member - or one of their staffers. Finally, some politicians have realized what a bad policy this is and have acted to change it.
New Hampshire has a user-supported parks system. To keep general taxes low, the state charges a modest entry fee at the state parks and at many historic sites. The individual entry fee for state parks is only $4. That is an entire day at a place like Bear Brook State Park for less than the price of one movie ticket.
The senior exception is generally thought of as a kindness. In reality, it is a cross-subsidy. Every other user subsidizes the "free" access for senior citizens. If the general admission price is to stay low, the exception cannot continue. The parks system cannot afford to let so many people in for free. (The politician exception is inexcusable and never should have been passed in the first place.)
Sen. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, has proposed legislation to offer seniors a $20 parks pass. For less than the price of a dinner for two, senior citizens could purchase a pass that would let them into every state park and historic site - and Cannon Mountain - for the year. On Thursday, the Senate passed the bill by a vote of 17-7.
Stiles says that by charging seniors and the political class, the state parks will see about $300,000 a year in increased revenue. That money will go directly to the parks system, which has struggled financially in recent years even after some reforms that have improved revenues.
It is understandable that seniors would be annoyed by this change, and that Democrats (every senator to vote against the bill was a Democrat) would oppose it for purely self-interested political reasons. But really the current policy is indefensible. State parks fees are modest. Stiles' $20 pass is modestly priced (too modestly) as well. (The bill should include a separate, higher-priced pass for Cannon Mountain.) It is neither cruel nor unreasonable to ask seniors to contribute a tiny bit to the upkeep of the state parks if they want to use them.

Last Friday, the Inquirer's Matt Gelb wrote an interesting blog post about how the Phillies' fall in attendance could affect the team's finances.
If the team's crowds continue to be where they are, the team could lose as much as $25 million in revenue compared to last year. That's a lot of money.
It's possible, though, that the team's overall revenues could bounce back in a big way soon.
We've known for a while that the Phillies are in position to potentially make a lot of money from a new local TV broadcast contract. From 2009 through 2011 the team was among the top three teams in all of baseball in local TV ratings, and interest in the team hasn't dropped that much since the team last made the playoffs.
Gelb wrote in detail last year about what the Phillies could generate from a new TV deal, and when that money would arrive.
At the time, it was assumed that the Phillies and Comcast SportsNet would continue their relationship, with CSN paying a bigger rights fee. That would help the Phillies' ability to spend big, which would hopefully lead to more wins, and thus higher ratings. So all sides would be happy.
But now there appears to be a new twist in the plot. Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan wrote Sunday that Fox could make a move to snatch Phillies rights away from Comcast, and create a new local sports channel in Philadelphia.
As Passan reported:
"[T]hey want Philadelphia," one source with knowledge of Fox's plans said. "They got the Yankees [by buying a share of the YES Network], which helps. They're not going to have the Red Sox. They're not going to have the Mets. They want another East Coast team."
[I stupidly forgot to add the link to Passan's column until Monday evening. Many apologies for that - it's a mistake I rarely make and will try hard to not make again.]
A Fox Sports local channel here would pair with the Fox's new national sports channel that will launch in August. Fox Sports 1 will feature a lot of baseball simulcasts from its Fox Sports Net regional channels, including Yankees and Dodgers games.
Nationwide, Fox Sports Net channels broadcast games from 13 teams in Major League Baseball. Fox also has a share in the Yankees' YES Network, as well as ROOT Sports' four RSNs. Three of them – Pittsburgh, Denver and Seattle – broadcast those markets' baseball teams.
All in all, Fox has stakes in local broadcasts for 17 of the 30 teams in MLB.
Comcast has rights to six teams, including the Phillies, Cubs and Giants. It also has a stake in the Mets' SportsNet New York channel, which is owned jointly by NBC Universal and Time Warner Cable.
If Fox gets a Philadelphia channel, that would give the Phillies even more national exposure.
It won't be easy for Fox to launch a regional sports network here, though. Comcast (as we know all too well) controls not only the programming on CSN, but the cable networks on which the programming is distributed.
So it's entirely possible that Comcast could refuse to carry a Fox channel with Phillies games. That would probably stop the channel from even existing in the first place.
It would also force the Phillies to stick with CSN, and that could restrain the rights fee that the team eventually gets.
Do you want to see the Phillies break away from Comcast? How much would you be willing to pay for a second local sports cable channel? Have your say in the comments.

Judge: Chris Brown Doing Well Since Jail Release
Brown appeared in an L.A. court Wednesday for a progress report.
A judge says Chris Brown has been doing well and following his probation rules since his release from jail in June.
Chris Brown Kicks Off Weekend With NSFW Instagram Pic
The Grammy-winning R&B singer appeared in a Los Angeles court Wednesday for a progress report.
Judge James Brandlin reduced Brown's drug test requirement from three times to twice a week and said he's been in compliance with his probation officer and cooperating with his therapist.
The probation department asked that his community labor requirement be bumped from three days a week to four, but Brandlin denied the request.
Brown was jailed from mid-March until early June for violating his probation by getting into an altercation outside a Washington, D.C., hotel last year.
He was on probation after he attacked pop singer Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, before the 2009 Grammy Awards.

NAMPA, Idaho — An Idaho dairyman whose business fell on hard times has made the best of a bad situation, with the help of a few of his urban in-laws who encouraged him to sell his compost at the retail level.
Now the business they created from the remains of a shuttered dairy is on the verge of gaining national attention. "Poop — Natural Dairy Compost" is one of four finalists vying for a chance to secure a free 30-second commercial during the 2014 Super Bowl.
Glenn Vander Woude closed his dairy in February. If the Super Bowl ad materializes, his start-up retail compost business could explode overnight.
Vander Woude said he already considers the business a success. A free Super Bowl ad would be the proverbial icing on the cake.
At the urging of his brother-in-law, Scott Hartog, and cousin-in-law, Ben Bieri, Vander Woude began taking the compost left over from his dairy and running it through a specialized screener that takes out the big chunks and leaves compost as fine as coffee grinds.
They then put the finished product in a bag, called it what it is — "Poop."
"A bag of compost is not going to catch your attention. 'Poop,' that catches your attention," Vander Woude said
It's been flying off local shelves — and could soon be flying off shelves around the nation.
"I closed up shop in February, so to be able to turn around like this, it's a feel-good story for us," Vander Woude said. "It's amazing so far, to be where we're at compared to a year ago, even if we don't get the Super Bowl ad."
But a free Super Bowl ad is a real possibility and the men have begun taking steps to be prepared for sudden national notoriety.
Poop was one of almost 15,000 small businesses that entered the contest sponsored by Intuit Inc. The field was narrowed to four by 8,000 Intuit employees.
Now, through Dec. 1, the voting is open to anyone in the world. People can cast their votes at www.smallbusinessbiggame.com. The winner will be announced shortly before the Feb. 2 Super Bowl.
"We're trying not to get too far ahead of ourselves … but we're taking steps now to be prepared in case that happens," Vander Woude said.
Hartog hails from the banking industry and Bieri's background is in marketing.
"Scott is our details and operations guy, I'm the creative one and Glenn is our ag guy," Bieri said.
Vander Woude was selling his compost off Craigslist for between $15-20 a cubic yard. It's now being sold in stores at a rate more than 20 times that amount.
"Glenn had come from an industry where the margins control the producers but now we can control the margins and they're a lot greater this way," Bieri said. "Even without this commercial, we think we have a pretty good idea."

The town of Ignacio is slowly but surely finding ways to build up its fund balance after an accounting error revealed the towns general fund had $555,000 less in it than thought.
During a budget workshop Tuesday night, the Town Board voted to increase the general fund by $62,000 though a combination of cuts to staff positions and salaries and increased fees on residents.
Thats in addition to $214,000 in savings and revenue increases staff members came up with on their own since the towns first budget work session in early November.
At that first work session, trustees announced recent findings that capital assets such as pipelines and buildings had been mistakenly recorded as cash revenue in the towns general fund. The error meant that instead of a general fund balance of just over $1 million, the balance was more like $535,000.
Despite the accounting error, the town is in the black. With the cuts and revenue approved since November, the 750-person towns general fund balance for 2013 is estimated to be almost $750,000.
Yet the town is continuing to search for ways to increase its general fund balance to make up for annual losses in the water and sewer funds, said Lisa Rea, town treasurer.
According to the 2012 budget, the water fund will lose almost $30,000. According to the projected 2013 budget, the sewer fund will lose $12,000. Both funds are budgeted to receive $30,000 each from the towns gas fund in order to keep them afloat.
Town trustees were divided in their support for ways to generate $62,000 in savings and revenue next year. The trustees voted 4-3 to remove a 2.5 percent cost-of-living allowance town employees were slated to receive next year, a move that saved $18,000. They voted 4-2 to save $20,000 by not filling a position for a police officer whose $60,000 salary would have been partially covered by a $40,000 grant from the Department of Justice.
Residents also will feel a financial impact, as town trustees approved motions to increase the monthly water fee by $5 per month and to increase the natural-gas rate to a flat $7.50 per thousand cubic feet per month.
Currently, the town charges an average of $6.88 per thousand cubic feet, but that price fluctuates with the outside market.
Together, those rate increases will generate about $45,000 annually.
Ignacio Mayor Ena Millich voted against all rate increases for residents, saying residents shouldnt have to pay to make up for the towns faulty accounting.
Millich also pushed for the town to consider hiring an independent analyst to review the towns budget, its workforce and the staffs workload. The other trustees didnt embrace the idea.
At the end of the work session, most trustees agreed they had made good progress.
Its a beginning, and that is all we can do, Trustee Tom Atencio said.
The board plans to vote on the budget next week.

Driver haunted by newlywed crashBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
August 01. 2013 11:34PM
ROLLINSFORD — Roger Myers is still haunted by what he saw on the afternoon of July 20.
The Stratham man was driving on Roberts Road in Rollinsford when, he said, a car came racing up behind him.
Fearing the driver was impaired, Myers dialed 911 and gave the operator a detailed account of everything he saw.
Myers hoped someone would catch the driver, but minutes after he placed the call he witnessed the horrible crash that killed Leah Fonda Preiss, a bride from Minnesota honeymooning in New Hampshire with her new husband, Brian, who survived the accident.
The 57-year-old Myers tried to prevent the tragedy that unfolded before his eyes and hopes others would do the same.
"If people see some behavior like this, call and maybe you can stop a person before they destroy a lot of lives," Myers said Thursday.
Matthew Tsopas, the 43-year-old Somersworth man accused of driving drunk in the crash that killed Preiss, remains held at the Strafford County jail after a judge on Wednesday lowered his bail from $250,000 to $75,000 cash or bond and placed several conditions on him if he's released.
Tsopas faces two counts of negligent homicide, aggravated driving while intoxicated, and two counts of conduct after an accident.
On the day of the deadly accident, Myers had just left a shop he operates in Rollinsford for his business, StrathamWood Studios, when he said a car approached him from behind on Roberts Road at a high rate of speed.
It appeared that the driver later identified as Tsopas wanted to pass him, but Myers stayed in front.
"I was looking in the mirror and I could see he was swerving," said Myers, who worried that Tsopas would try to pass and hit a vehicle in the opposite direction.
While on the phone with a dispatcher, Myers said he came to a stop sign at the intersection of Roberts Road and Route 4 and was about to turn right onto Route 4 to head toward Dover. That's when Myers said he stopped and the car behind him drove around him and got in front of his vehicle.
With the car now in front of him, Myers followed and stayed on the line with the dispatcher.
"I just wanted to see which way he was going and wanted to relay that to police. I hoped they would pull him over before something happened," Myers said.
But moments later, Tsopas allegedly veered into oncoming traffic, striking the newlyweds in their car.
Myers said the crash happened about 200 feet in front of him.
"He went into the left-hand lane. It was nearly head-on. Their car spun around and ended up in my travel lane," Myers recalled.
After the crash, Myers said he saw the driver strip down to his boxers and then try to flee on foot.
"He is walking down Old Mill Lane … in his underwear. This guy is obviously drunk," Myers told a dispatcher in the 911 call.
Myers remained on the phone and rushed over to the couple, who appeared to be trapped in their car.
Dover fire and rescue personnel were on their way to another call when they approached the accident scene.
Myers stayed on the line until Rollinsford police arrived at the scene.
At the time of the crash, Myers didn't know that the victims were newlyweds.
"I didn't even know they were from out of state. I just knew there were two people in a car who were seriously hurt," he said. "It's heartbreaking. I've had the whole range of emotions … angry, sad," he said.
Myers hopes other drivers hear his message and will dial 911 if they notice anything suspicious on the road, but, he said, "It doesn't change what happened."

Given these restrictions, we assembled a data set of 20 studies that reported 66 observations (i.e., outcomes or results) for nutrition knowledge, fruit and vegetable preference, and/or fruit and vegetable consumption ( Table 1 ). Even though we restricted our search to studies that were conducted from kindergarten through 12th grade, we only found studies that were conducted with students in kindergarten through grade eight.
Characteristics of studies included in our analyses of the impact of nutrition education programs and gardening programs on children's nutrition knowledge, preference for fruit and/or vegetables, and/or consumption of fruit and/or vegetables. Studies are listed alphabetically.
All of the 20 included studies were quasi-experimental, in which the researchers first recruited an educational site (e.g., school, Boys and Girls Club, community garden, etc.) rather than directly recruiting children from across all possible sites. These types of experimental designs are called "quasi-experimental" because they lack a key element of randomized experiments: the random assignment of subjects to a treatment category. Only after cooperating sites were identified were students recruited to take part in a study.
Although the majority of studies included a control group that did not participate in a nutrition education and/or gardening program, six studies (
Heim et al., 2009
Semler Desiree Womens Ballet Flats Beige 762 Pannagold 10nPXXt
; Camper Peu Summer Senda Women's Trainers Rouge Medium Red VK7KJsQerB
; Lineberger and Zajicek, 2000 ; Poston et al., 2005 ; Wright and Rowell, 2010 ) did not include a control.
The majority of the studies with a nutrition education program focused on increasing the consumption of healthy foods and/or decreasing the consumption of unhealthy foods. Increasing physical activity and/or decreasing sedentary activities were also included as an aspect of many of these programs. In the studies that had a garden treatment, gardening activities (e.g., planting, maintaining, harvesting) were integrated into a nutrition education program. Detailed descriptions of each study included in our analyses can be found in Table 1 .
For the vote-counting analysis, we scored the significance (either positive or negative) or nonsignificance of each observation of a treatment category (e.g., control, nutrition education, and gardening) on a response variable (e.g., nutrition knowledge, preferences for fruit or vegetables, and consumption of fruit or vegetables). Some studies (e.g., Koch et al., 2006 ; O'Brien and Shoemaker, 2006 ) reported the effect of a treatment category on the combined preference for fruit and vegetables and/or combined consumption of fruit and vegetables. We included these as separate response categories from preference or consumption of just fruit or just vegetables.
For this analysis, observations within studies were recorded as significant when the probability value was less than or equal to 0.05, regardless of the type I error rate set by the studies' authors. Specifically, we scored the significance of the difference between pretest and posttest scores. If baseline data were not reported, we noted the significance of the difference between a control and treatment group at the end of a study. In our vote counting analysis, we separately considered changes in response variables between pretest and posttest measures from differences in response variables between an intervention (e.g., nutrition education, gardening) and a control.
A significant positive response (+) was recorded when the value of the posttest was significantly greater than the pre-test value or when the value of the treatment group was significantly greater than the control. A significant negative response (−) was recorded when the posttest value was significantly less than the pretest value or when the value of the treatment group was significantly less than the control. Nonsignificant differences (Ø) were also noted. In one case ( Baranowski et al., 2000 ), we qualitatively assessed the significance by examining reported least squared means and graphical data. In another case ( Siega-Riz et al., 2011 ), we conducted a post hoc analysis of the reported data to determine the significance of the difference between pre- and posttest values, for both the control and the nutrition education treatment.
We counted up the total number of significant positive, negative, and null responses among studies that reported pre- and posttest data, as well as studies that reported differences between control groups and interventions. This allowed us to qualitatively analyze the relative effect of no education, nutrition education, and garden-based education on children's nutrition knowledge, preferences for fruit and/or vegetables, and consumption of fruit and/or vegetables.
We used meta-analytical techniques to quantitatively examine the changes in children's nutrition knowledge, preference for fruit and vegetables, and consumption of fruit and vegetables as a function of whether they participated in a nutrition education program or gardening program.Purpose Equals Giving

JPMorgan Chase & Co. won a judge's ruling rejecting a bid to revive claims that it manipulated silver futures and options prices in violation of U.S. antitrust law.
U.S. District Judge Robert Patterson in Manhattan said yesterday that a group of investors suing the bank can't file a new complaint in the case, ruling that they failed to address legal shortcomings that convinced him to dismiss the case in December.
"None of the allegations added by plaintiffs in the proposed amended complaint cure the pleading deficiencies that led to the dismissal of plaintiffs' first complaint for failure to state a claim," Patterson wrote in a 12-page ruling today.
The investors claimed that JPMorgan conspired to suppress silver futures so that call options, or the right to buy, would decline, and put options for the right to sell would increase. They sought to represent a class of thousands of people and companies that held or traded silver futures and options on June 26, 2007, or from March 17, 2008, to Oct. 27, 2010.
Jennifer Zuccarelli, a JPMorgan spokeswoman, declined to comment on yesterday's ruling. Christopher Lovell, a lawyer for the investors, didn't immediately return a voice-mail message seeking comment after regular business hours.
The case is In re Commodity Exchange Inc. Silver Futures and Options Trading Litigation, 11-cv-2213, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Deroy Murdock: Where is the GOP alternative to Obamacare?
August 19. 2013 8:06PM
AT HIS AUG. 9 news conference, President Barack Obama spoke with journalists in the White House East Room about Republicans and Obamacare.
"At least they used to say, 'Well, we're going to replace it with something better,'" Obama said. "There's not even a pretense now that they're going to replace it with something better."
Unless Republicans want Obama to keep spouting such nonsense, they must craft and at least pass through the GOP House one single bill that would scrap Obamacare and put something far better — and Republican — in its place.
Republicans are 1,000 percent correct to try to defund, repeal, and replace Obamacare. With its employer mandate postponed for a year, most health-insurance exchanges far from ready for their Oct. 1 debut, medical premiums zooming to the Moon, and its 10-year price tag soaring from $940 billion at enactment to $1.8 trillion today, Obamacare has become both unworkable and a knee-slapping mockery of its official title: "The Affordable Care Act."
American patients and taxpayers alike should applaud GOP efforts to derail this runaway train safely out of town, before it barrels onto Main Street with its gears stripped, brakes shot, and tank cars clogged with toxic cargo.
That said, Congressional Republicans badly need to plant their rumps into some hard chairs and unify around a solitary GOP alternative to Obamacare. They should endorse its elements, pledge to adopt it if they win the Senate, and constantly sell it as the best means to prevent this looming disaster.
Such a measure — call it the Patient Power Act of 2013 — should promote choice and freedom, limit government meddling, and pry Uncle Sam from between Americans and their doctors.
Specifically, the PPA should:
• Repeal Obamacare.
• Create a robust market in which individuals — not bosses or politicians — can choose to own and control portable health plans.
• Shift tax-deductibility of health premiums from employers to employees, to help workers purchase the coverage that they — not CEOs or senators — prefer.
• Let Americans purchase health and pharmaceutical policies across state lines, just as they now may buy life, home, and apartment coverage from vendors across the U.S.A.
• Free Americans to open voluntary, tax-free Health Savings Accounts from which they can finance over-the-counter drugs, routine medical care, and catastrophic insurance for severe ailments.
• Entice doctors to deduct from their taxes the dollar-value of their charity care for poor and uninsured patients. Let a million free clinics bloom.
• Reform the medical-malpractice system, which propels health costs skyward.
• Establish high-risk pools to help insure those with pre-existing conditions.
• Limit federal involvement to supplying health-insurance subsidies to those remaining Americans who cannot care for themselves nor find relief through civil society, local and state government, or the initiatives outlined above. Rather than ruin medicine for 316 million people, government should assist the tough cases who cannot secure help elsewhere. Instead of disastrous micromanagement, Washington simply should offer direct cash payments to help the truly needy and infirm buy private health plans that satisfy their needs.
As Forbes contributor Merrill Matthews noted, a recent survey among some 2,500 federal employees discovered that 92.3 percent of them want to keep their existing coverage and avoid Obamacare.
When even the Big Government workers who would run Obamacare reject it, the time has come to dispatch this smoldering wreck to the scrap yard.But before the Congressional GOP can expect the American public to climb aboard the medical bullet train that they envision, Republicans themselves need to embrace its blueprints.
Deroy Murdock is a Manhattan-based Fox News contributor, a nationally syndicated columnist with the Scripps Howard News Service, and a media fellow with the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University.

More than 500 students from state expected to participate
Thirty-eight teams of middle school and high school students from around the state will converge at the Ionia High School gym Saturday, Feb. 16, for a free Science Olympiad invitational.
Science Olympiad is a tournament where students compete in events that pertain to subject including engineering, biology, physics, chemistry and astronomy.
Assistant Science Olympiad coach Chad Wireman said teams work to achieve high scores and placements in each event. Teams who place high receive medals and the overall scores are combined. The highest scoring teams will receive trophies. Today's events will include an elastic launch glider, boomilever and a gravity vehicle, he added.
"(The events are) interesting to see because they show student works of science, and it shows how advanced science in the classroom can be. Younger kids watching these events (can) see the possibilities that extracurricular activities offer at many schools, including Ionia Public Schools," said Wireman. "Students that participate in many of these events often end up moving on to STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in higher education and (use those skills in) future careers."
Although the invitational is simply a large practice session for all of the teams, teams can compete in regionals, state and national competitions.
Science Olympiad coach Kyle Ondersma said he believes the competition is fun and a good way for the team members to better themselves and connect with competitors from other schools. He added he also is pleased to host an event that will bring people to Ionia.
Team check-in is from 8 to 9 a.m. and events will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Awards are expected to be presented at 4 p.m.

Collegiate Challenge
Twenty-eight members of the Washington College community spent their spring break week building a house in Columbus, GA, as part of Habitat for Humanity's Collegiate Challenge Program. This was the College program's 12th alternative Spring Break trip, and 25 students (roughly 2% of the student body), one staff member, one faculty member, and one alumnus made the journey, as the largest Collegiate Challenge team fielded by Washington College yet.During the Week of March 14-18, the volunteers partnered with NeighborWorks of Columbus and Columbus Area Habitat for Humanity to erect a home at 2055 Cusseta Drive for future owners, David and Tomeka Grayer. They worked through the sun and rain, and slept on the gym floor of St. Mark's United Methodist Church, which has hosted Washington College for four years running. In their off hours, the merchants of Columbus provided free movie passes, free ice cream, and free hockey tickets to all Collegiate Challenge participants. The group completed their work of "drying-in" the Grayers' home with a deep dedication to community service and a sense of commitment to the group, the Grayer family, and the surrounding neighborhood.

This tea contains essential oils including over sixty constituents which have only recently been isolated. Its many health benefits include an aid for digestion and fighting colds. The locals swear by these properties and have been drinking it as long as they can remember!
Collecting herbs for this unique tea is a true labor of love. Growing wild in rock crevices of hard limestone, these herbs thrive at altitudes exceeding 1000 meters. Villagers must hike the mountains, fully exposed to the intense Greek sun.
Wild Mountain Tea has a beautiful, rich color and exotic aroma, full of the natural delights found in this special part of the world. One taste is enough to have us reminiscing about the Greek countryside- particularly those spectacular mountains.
We've found a little goes a long way. Simply place a small handful of mountain leaves in a pot of water and boil approximately 5 minutes. Leaves can be reused. Traditionally this tea is served with a little honey and although sugar can be substituted, we agree, honey complements it a little better.

Senate Finance Committee rejects House-approved tax hikesBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
May 21. 2013 10:24PM
CONCORD — Today's House vote on a Senate-passed bill to allow casino gambling comes the day after the Senate Finance Committee rejected about $53 million in House-approved tax increases and released a list of Health and Human Service spending reductions.
The committee voted 4-2 down party lines to reject a 20-cent-a-pack increase in the tobacco tax, which would produce $40 million during the biennium and a two-year delay in business tax credits for the state to save $13 million.
By the same vote, the committee rejected a 12-cent increase in the gasoline tax over three years that was included in the House-passed budget.
The House votes today on Senate Bill 152 to allow one casino with up to 5,000 video slot machines and 150 table games. Budget writers agree the casino will not produce revenue for the upcoming biennium, but could provide the state with $80 million in revenue from a licensing fee that Gov. Maggie Hassan included in her budget.
Hassan has pushed for the bill telling lawmakers the money is needed for critical needs like higher education, the mental health system and the Children in Need of Services program.
The House vote is expected to be close. The House has never approved casino gambling, although the Senate has done so a number of times.
Spending cuts
The Senate, which is crafting its version of the state $11 billion two-year operating budget, has passed SB 152 but the finance committee has not included the $80 million in its budget and won't unless the House passes it, according to committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Morse, R-Salem, and a sponsor of SB 152.
Instead Morse has said the Senate will cut spending to make up the difference if the House does not pass the casino bill.
Morse released a list of $28 million potential reductions in health and human service programs Tuesday which include $4 million to reduce the developmentally disabled wait-list for services. The reduction represents about 25 percent reduction in the money Hassan and the House included in the budget to eliminate the wait-list.
Other reductions in House-approved spending include $3 million for community health centers and $4 million of the $24 million increase Hassan included for the mental health system, which is the subject of a lawsuit brought by patients and the federal government.
Morse's plan would also delay the restarting of the CHINS program which was eliminated in the last biennium budget except for about 50 of the most at-risk individuals who are a threat to themselves or others.
Governor reacts
Hassan's decried the reductions.
"The cuts outlined today by Senate Republicans are nothing short of devastating for the health and well-being of the people of New Hampshire," she said. "From cuts to our plan to strengthen our mental health system, to cuts in funds for the developmentally disabled, to cuts for CHINS, critical access hospitals, community health centers, local communities and more, Senate Republicans have decided to ignore the calls of Granite Staters to restore our priorities and meet our fundamental responsibilities, opting instead to continue the irresponsible actions of the last legislature."
Morse said the governor's criticism of Senate budget writers is wrong.
"The information distributed at this morning's executive session was intended to start the conversation on how we deal with millions of dollars in unrealistic estimates proposed by the governor and passed by the Democratic-controlled House," Morse said. "Going forward, the Senate will continue to make tough decisions based on honest revenue estimates and not in response to political gamesmanship."
Charter school boost
While Senate budget writers proposed cutting $28 million from Health and Human Services, they increased spending in other areas, adding $20 million over the biennium for hospitals to match federal disproportionate share money, bringing the total to $40 million.
The current budget cut more than $100 million from the program.
Senate budget writers decided to return $19 million to the Medicaid Quality Incentive Program for nursing homes which is matched with the same amount of federal dollars.
However, the Senate removed $5 million the House had included in its budget to help county nursing homes.
Charter schools fared better in the Senate Finance Committee than they did in the House.
The committee added $3.4 million to fund charter schools the state Board of Education has yet to approve.
Last fall the board decided not to approve any new applications until lawmakers approved more money for the program.
The Senate Finance Committee hopes to finish work on its budget plan by next week and vote on it June 6.
The House and Senate agree on many priorities — additional money for higher education, the mental health system, hospitals and the developmentally disabled, but not on how much is needed for the programs.
The budget is slated to go into effect July 1.

STOCKTON - A Stagg High freshman has been arrested by Stockton Unified police officers for firing a gun several times near the school's campus last week, district spokeswoman Dianne Barth said Tuesday.
STOCKTON - A Stagg High freshman has been arrested by Stockton Unified police officers for firing a gun several times near the school's campus last week, district spokeswoman Dianne Barth said Tuesday.
The district did not provide the name or age of the male student.
According to Barth, trouble began with a fistfight on the levee along Brookside Road near Stagg after school let out Thursday afternoon.
After the fight broke up, one of the students jumped into a car and fired an unknown number of shots into the air as the vehicle drove off. Other students also were in the car, district police said, but it is unclear whether they will face any consequences, Barth said.
The boy was arrested within 24 hours of the shooting, but the weapon has not been recovered, and the district did not provide information on what type of gun was fired, according to Barth, who added that the suspect is facing felony charges for firing a gun in the vicinity of a school.
A 15-year-old girl who was among a group of onlookers during the incident suffered a minor, grazing injury to her foot. The girl was treated at a hospital Thursday evening and released.
Stagg was locked down for 45 minutes following the gunfire. It had been locked down for 90 minutes Thursday morning while police searched the campus for weapons after a student reported seeing other students looking at a gun at a nearby convenience store. No weapons were found.
The Thursday afternoon incident at Stagg was the fourth involving a firearm at or near a Stockton Unified campus this academic year.
On Oct. 8, two boys were arrested when one of them fired a .22-caliber handgun into the floor of a crowded seventh-grade classroom at Van Buren Elementary. No one was injured.
Eighteen days later, district police officers discovered two pellet guns that had been brought by eighth-grade boys to Cleveland Elementary.
And on Nov. 1, a 14-year-old freshman at Merlo Institute was arrested after he was found in possession of a loaded semiautomatic handgun.

Wind farm opponents: Slow downBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
February 17. 2013 9:12PM
BRISTOL - The Newfound Lake Region Association has announced its support for one of at least three bills before the Legislature that could affect wind farm development in New Hampshire.
The association is backing a bill by Rep. Harold "Skip" Reilly Sr., R-Hill, and co-sponsored by Sen. Jeanne Forrester. It calls for a moratorium on commercial wind projects until the state issues a new comprehensive energy plan.
The association's decision is based on information presented by Dr. Benjamin Luce of Vermont's Lyndon State College to New Hampshire Wind Watch, a 1,300-member group of residents opposed to two proposed wind projects in the Newfound Lake-Cardigan Mountain. Luce told the association that wind power will add little benefit to the state's renewable energy future.
"The NLRA believes that the state should enact a moratorium on all pending and proposed commercial wind projects until a comprehensive energy plan can be prepared to guide state energy policy toward a more carbon-free, cost-effective, locally produced, and high-efficiency energy environment which does not sacrifice the quality of life that supports our economy," the NLRA said in a letter to its constituents Thursday.
Another bill being studied in House and Senate committees would change the process for applying for a certificate for an energy facility. The House bill is sponsored primarily by Rep. Neal Kurk, R-Weare. The Senate version is sponsored by Forrester.
Forrester, of Meredith, said the bills are designed for all power projects in the state, but current proposed wind farms in the Newfound Lake/Cardigan Mountain area "will be addressed by this legislation."
"We want to establish what we want New Hampshire to look like; we don't want to be subject to the will of every wind farm company or whatever other kind of power facility plan that will come our way," the Republican said.
"Let's be intentional about it, not just let it happen," she said.
The state's Site Evaluation Committee, which has permitting control of energy projects, hasn't had enough authority or broad enough criteria in deciding whether to allow a wind farm project, she said.
The committee granted a permit last year for a wind farm project that is now online in Groton, but recently denied a permit to a farm project in Antrim. Larger projects are being proposed by Spanish wind power giant Iberdrola and by Portugal's EBD Renewables in the towns of Grafton, Groton, Alexandria, Danbury and Hebron.
Under present law, residents and their municipal governments have had little control - aside from giving input at SEC meetings - over wind power projects because the companies lease land from private landowners, and need only SEC approval.
The proposals have drawn criticism from local residents and groups, who worry about the negative impact of 40-story wind turbine towers on the views and the tourist economy in the Newfound Lake region.
Republican Sen. Bob Odell is sponsoring a third bill that would establish a new energy plan for the next 10 years.
Odell, who lives in Lempster, where Iberdrola built its first wind farm in the state, said the state's current energy plan is now more than 10 years old, and was designed before wind power projects and other modern energy projects were prominent.
"We need to be ready for unanticipated challenges like wind farms," he said.

Climax-Scotts, Colon both win
Monday night in Athens, a pair of Top 10 team in the Associated Press' Class D boy's basketball rankings met.
Yes, it was the opening game of the districts but sometimes that's the luck of the draw.
No. 4 Climax-Scotts faced off with eighth-ranked Mendon on the neutral floor, with big crowds from both teams in attendance. Mendon fought like everyone expected them to, but in the end the Hornets fell 70-51 to the Panthers.
"My kids played hard tonight, they played their hearts out," Mendon coach Dave Swanwick said. "We just ran into a team that made more shots tonight. They came out fired up and so did our kids. They just made baskets."
Climax-Scotts coach Steve Critchlow said hard-nosed defense was crucial to his team's play Monday.
"I thought our team defense was really good and that made a difference for us tonight," he said. "We emphasized old-school man-to-man defense and we got after some loose balls tonight."
As the game wore on, Climax-Scotts was able to dictate the style of play.
Mendon, just a few weeks removed from knocking off then No. 1 Climax-Scotts 51-50, wasn't able to keep the Panthers off the boards. Andy Brueck out-worked most of the Panthers' front line in that game and continued to work hard Monday night.
The game was a fast pace early on, with the Panthers knocking down some shots inside to take a 14-9 lead after one quarter of action.
Mendon brought the game to within a possession in the second quarter, but Climax-Scotts went on a run to end the first half and lead 33-19.
"You have to score with them, you can't go four-or-five possessions without a basket," Swanwick said of playing Climax-Scotts. "We had some good looks and momentum in a district game is big if you can hit some of those baskets, it keeps you right there."
Climax was able to hit those buckets late in the second quarter and was able to take advantage of Mendon running a bit cold.
To open the third, Climax continued to feed big men Malachi Satterlee and Aaron Cook inside for buckets. The duo, both at 6-foot-8, were too much for Mendon inside as the game continued in the second half.
"They were getting the ball inside better than they did the first time we played them," Swanwick said.
Climax held a 21-10 advantage in the fourth quarter, which built their lead to 54-29 with just eight minutes left in the contest.
Critchlow said his team needed to have more intensity tonight for his team to win. He said Mendon out-worked the Panthers in the first meeting this year.
"It was one of the most painful losses that I really loved," he said of losing to Mendon in February. "The next day in practice we saw some film and we noticed how much Mendon was out-playing us and out-hustling us. That was a key for us tonight."
Mendon had its highest scoring quarter in the fourth with 22 points as Zach Darmofal and Joe Gales were able to knock down shots. Yet, it wasn't enough for the Hornets, who finished the season with an 18-3 record and tied the 1970 team for most wins in a regular season.
The Hornets lose just a single senior in Brueck, who finished the night with six points and three rebounds. Mendon was led in scoring by Darmofal's 17 points, adding six rebounds and five assists while Gales chipped in with 15 points. Marcus Craft added seven points, Erik Batten tossed in three points, Parker Cupp had two and Jordan Medich connected on a free throw.
"I thought all of our guys played their hearts out and that's all I can ask of them," Swanwick said.
Climax was led by Satterlee's 19 points and Cook's 16.
In the other game Monday night, Colon topped Burr Oak 55-25.
"We came out flat tonight and you can't do that against their 1-3-1 defense," Burr Oak Dave Brackett said.
The Magi led 18-4 after a strong first quarter and held off a Burr Oak run in the second to lead 30-13 at halftime.
Colon's highest scoring quarter was the third with 20 points while holding the Bobcats to just two points. The Magi led 50-15 heading into the final quarter.
Burr Oak was led by James Saylor with nine points and five rebounds while Christian Eckert have five points. Justin Mullins added four, Wendell Hughes had three points while both Cole Summey and Brian Saylor each had two points.
Individual scorers were not available at press time Monday night for Colon.
The Magi will play the host Athens Indians in the late game Wednesday.

I don't want to live in a country where only the wealthy can afford college.
I don't want to live in a country where only the wealthy can afford a college education.
A free education for every person has been an important part of our country's history. It's important that we not only keep educating, but also that we grow the opportunity.
It used to be that a grade school was offered to all Americans. Then high school was offered at no cost to all citizens. We later expanded by offering vocational training in high schools. Today many job openings require a college education. In our region only 24% of the population has a college degree. That eliminates 75% of folks looking for a job. That is discouraging.
An inexpensive 4-year college education is approximately $20,000. Many colleges and universities are much, much higher. Depending on the cost, it actually may not cost effective to get a college degree. Students are leaving with so much debt that congress is trying to pass laws to help with that debt load. Other students are in default on paying their student loans because they've been unable to get a job that pays for living expenses with enough left over to pay off debt.
I know we're in difficult economic times. It's times like these that encourage people to get more education, to learn new skills, or start a new trade. And it's time to start thinking about making college more affordable for everyone in this country.
The Missouri A+ program is an incredible idea that makes me proud to live in this state. A+ allows students that have good attendance, average grades and some community service to attend two years of community college free. It's a wonderful start. Let's keep moving in that direction.
