The meet was the first of the outdoor season for the Bisons and Lady Bisons. Both teams didn't miss a step on the transition from indoor track to outdoor.
Caitlin Anderson picked up the first win of the day in the Women's 3000m Steeplechase with a time of 12:03.65. It was also a new all-time PR for Caitlin, who earned All-A-Sun Conference honors in the steeplechase last year as a freshman.
Not to be outdone, freshman Nathan Brame scored the first win for the men in the Men's 3000m Steeplechase with a time of 9:59.02 in his first ever 3-K Steeple race. It was also the first overall event win of the year for Brame. Sophomore Jonathan Williams finished third in the Steeple with a time of 10:07.90.
"It set a great tone for the day to get wins in the first two events of the meet," said coach Bill Taylor. "We had a really great day with highly competitive performances and marks despite some nasty homestretch headwinds. Every week we seem to get stronger and stronger…it's very exciting!"
Five more Lipscomb men competed in the 3000-meter Steeplechase, four of which had never run a steeple race before. Tyler Youngs finished 5th in 10:26.45, Jeff Hoover 6th in 10:29.37, Hunter Hethcoat 9th in 10:41.33, Paul Wright 10th in 10:44.24, and Ben Fennell 14th in 11:00.44.
Lipscomb also picked up another overall event win in the Women's 1500m. Jenny Randolph ran a great tactical race in the wind to earn yet another victory for herself this season. Her time of 4:55.42 is a 1500m PR despite the weather conditions. Carolyn Latham finished 5th with a PR of 5:03.27, Louisa Van Batavia finished 7th with a PR of 5:07.57, Shannon Shoemake was 9th in 5:10.98, Laura Stewart 10th 5:13.24, Meagan Hoar 11th 5:16.92 and Catherine Beals 13th in 5:20.65.
"Our fastest 1500m women's time last year was 5:04 for the whole season," said Taylor. " In the first meet of the year, in strong winds, we already have two women faster than that and several more close. The progress we are making is incredible in this amount of time!"
Lipscomb also posted several second and third place overall finishes. Laura Stewart finished second overall in the women's 800m in a time of 2:28.99. Ryan Chastain finished second in the men's 800m in a time of 1:58.64, while Nathan Brame doubled back from his 3000m Steeplechase to finish third in the men's 800m with a new PR of 1:59.87.
The throwers also made their mark on this meet with a pair of third place finishes. Alex Jerkins threw a new PR in the shot put with a throw of 45 feet 4.5 inches with the 16 lb. implement, and Austin Ray heaved the college javelin 143 feet 2 inches.
"This was a fun meet in that I dropped most of our athletes down," said Taylor. "Our 5000m runners did the 1500 and the 800, our 800m runners did the 400 and were supposed to do the 200m (cancelled due to Lightning storms), our 400 runners did the 100m. We got a lot out of this meet.
"As I said, this was a great opening outdoor season meet for us. I was impressed that nobody worried about the gusting winds. Our athletes just went out, did their best, and left it at that. We had many PR's and high finishes. It's just so nice to see this kind of progress with our program. This year and the next few years are going to be very special as we keep raising the bar in everything we do."

Blackberry Farm is a rural resort in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, about 30 miles south of Knoxville.
Clarkson, the first "American Idol" winner, announced her engagement to Blackstock, a talent mananger and father of two, in December.
The singer told People magazine in August that the couple decided to forgo a large wedding in favor of an intimate gathering.
" 'Thank you so much for understanding, but it's just going to be me and Brandon and his two kids and the minister,' " Clarkson said she told friends and family.

Beethoven Mass in C major, Op. 86 – VI. Sanctus (Adagio)
See if this doesn't get your heart beating faster…
Many of Beethoven's most popular pieces were first performed at a concert on this day under less than ideal circumstances.
Beethoven was tired of having his music performed at charity concerts where he saw no money. So he begged the Theatre an der Wien to let him have a benefit concert for himself. What resulted was the storied "Marathon Concert".
– The event lasted over four hours; the heater was broken.
– It saw the premiers of: Symphony No. 5, Symphony No. 6, Choral Fantasy, Piano Concerto No. 4, part of the Mass in C and an extended jam with Beethoven at the piano.
– The orchestra was unrehearsed. Their last concert with Beethoven ended with a fight, so they refused to rehearse with him this time.
– During the Choral Fantasy, Beethoven stopped the orchestra and had them restart.
– This was Beethoven's last ever public piano performance before his hearing went.
Despite all this, it was his first (and only) financially successful concert that year. Could you imagine sitting in the cold theatre for four hours and hearing this?

Many of our readers are familiar with the two most popular rating systems for how energy-efficient a given home is: The US Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star for Homes (the most popular) and the US Green Building Council's LEED for Homes.
Both require much greater energy efficiency than traditional American building methods even come close to offering–and for that alone they are invaluable. But an organization called the Passive House Institute US (PHIUS), featured in a recent New York Times article and based in Urbana, Illinois, is setting a new, much higher bar for energy conservation: By making a home's envelope close to completely airtight, making the most of the sun's natural heat by way of big windows facing south and using a combination of Institute-mandated building techniques and green products to keep that heat in the house when it's wanted (and let it out when it isn't), a house that passes the Institute's certification process uses on average 75 to 95 percent less energy than most new buildings built in the US!
Building a home to the Institute's standards is somewhat more expensive than traditional building, though the extra expense is often more than offset by the savings from lower energy bills. But because most low-income people can't afford to spend an extra cent more than necessary on building, but stand to benefit from green housing as much as anyone else, Habitat for Humanity has begun to experiment with Passive Solar housing itself.
H4H Vermont's Green Valley chapter is currently building the first Passive Solar house in New England, on a city-donated plot in the colonial village of Charlotte. And the house is not only PHIUS-certified, but pre-fab, too–it's made of modular units that are made in a factory and then trucked in and assembled in near-complete condition. This way of building saves vast amounts of construction waste and goes a long way to protect the natural environment of the building site. The house will be the first pre-fab, modular Passive Solar house in the country, and hopefully will kick off a long-lasting trend in this kind of homebuilding.
The project is in collaboration with the nonprofit Vermont Energy Investment Corporation, builder Preferred Building Systems, Charlotte-based passive-house specialist Peter Schneider, and Boston-based architect JB Clancy. The house was completed this month, and a family of four is expected to move in by Christmas.

I like this book because my favorite part was when the man gives food to the fish. When I grow up I want to be one of them. I would like to dive in the ocean and see all the fish.
I recommend this book to second graders and third graders because this book is real. It is a non-fiction story. You can learn facts about under the water.

Thermal spraying
Thermal spraying involves particles less than 100 microns in diameter. Particles are accelerated and heated while exposed to a supersonic hot gas stream forming a gas dynamic shock upstream of each particle. Current research aims to solve the heat transfer in this complex flow with computational fluid dynamics.

"... In 1994, I had the opportunity to study with Keith Hill, in Manchester, Michigan. Keith's reputation as a musical instrument maker is well-recognized and respected in the field. At that time, I learned the craft of early keyboard instrument making. As part of the experience, I not only learned the technical principles of construction, but also the functional, aesthetic, and artistic aspects that go into making a fine quality instrument. Today, I produce instruments, keyboards, and parts, from a workshop in Spokane, Washington. I also participate as a clarinetist in a local orchestra. ..."

"... Unprecedented in its scale, the Rameau Project is surveying all relevant musical, literary and archival sources pertaining to the conception, performance and reception of Rameau's operas. Their musico-historical contexts are being investigated for the rich possibilities they present for interdisciplinary study in areas of philosophy, literature, politics and history.
Jonathan Williams and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE) are engaging in empirical research, undertaking comprehensive practice-led explorations of the operas' distinctive technical, artistic and aesthetic challenges, and of Rameau's highly idiosyncratic performance practices, in particular. Dance troupes are being trained by Edith Lalonger in historically-informed choreography seldom seen in productions today, with the aim of restoring the expressive power and dramatic thrust of Rameau's dance music. ..."

Centre for the Study of the Fairground Theatres and the Comédie-Italienne
The Centre was created in 1999 by Françoise Rubellin, professor at the University of Nantes, following the international colloquium entitled "Les théâtres de la Foire 1678-1762", with the support of two great specialists, Barry Russell from England (creator of the website foires.net) and David Trott from Canada, both deceased. The original project was to create a lasting link between researchers who were geographically dispersed, and to favour an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together theatre, music and dance: the Fairground plays are more show libretti than simple literary, textual objects.
Today, the Centre extends its research and its publications to the repertory of the Comédie-Italienne, having as a priority to edit manuscripts of plays that have never been re-edited, and to restore their musical dimension.
- The Centre is working on the publication of several plays still in manuscript versions only of the Fairground theatres and the Comédie-Italienne in the form of separate editions or of collections.
- The Centre is currently undertaking research on parodies of opera, with the support of the ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche), the Région Pays de la Loire and the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Ange-Guépin.
- The Centre trains numerous students in research during their MA and PhD theses, and provides access for them to an important number of microfilms of unedited plays, as well as a specialised collection of documents.
- The members of the Centre (PhD candidates and MA students included) publish articles and present papers in colloquia in France and abroad.
- The Centre actively collaborates with specialised researchers in the field of Fairground theatres and the Comédie-Italienne in France and abroad (Italy, United Kingdom, Canada, United States, etc.).
- The Centre works in partnership with several cultural structures dedicated to music and theatre, in Nantes and in the region Pays de la Loire (Angers Nantes Opéra, Le Grand T, La Folle Journée of the CRÉA) as well as with ensembles (Hugo Reyne's Simphonie du Marais) and troupes (Thierry Pillon's L'Éternel Éphémère, Chantal David's Bel Viaggio). With them, we put into place activities for communication, creation and research development.
- The Centre has organised, for over ten years, a monthly seminar, study days and colloquia.

"The Age of Philosophy saw a surge of interest in empirical science, humanistic inquiry, and cosmopolitan societies. It also witnessed a surprising fascination with ancient mythologies, alchemy, divine arcana, and secret societies. Did this dark side of the Enlightenment have anything in common with the rational undertakings of the day, or was it a remnant from times past? This digital archive will allow students and scholars to explore the strange, yet uncannily familiar, writings of French authors who went beyond John Locke's famed "limits of human understanding," in order to investigate the mysterious perimeters of knowledge - but often progressed with the same wit and epistemological concerns as Parisian philosophes. The ideas and practices of these writers (often dismissed as "illuminist") may thus best be understood as constituting a sort of "Super-Enlightenment," a category which begs a larger, open question: did the more orthodox Enlightenment thinkers ever cross over to the other side themselves?"

"The Giorgio Cini Foundation is a non-profit cultural institution based in Venice, Italy. It was constituted by Vittorio Cini, in memory of his son Giorgio, with the aim of restoring the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore (devastated after 100 years of military occupation) and of creating an international cultural centre that would re-integrate the Island into the life of Venice.
«The Giorgio Cini Foundation's mission is to promote the redevelopment of the monumental complex on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore and encourage the creation and development of educational, social, cultural and artistic institutions in its surrounding territory.»
The creation of the Foundation was one of the most considerable private initiatives of the 20th century. The importance of this undertaking was borne out by the initial investment committed to rehabilitate the Island and by the many events the Foundation has promoted or hosted since. It is further substanstiated by the cultural patrimony conserved on the Island and, since 1984, at the Gallery of Palazzo Cini at San Vio.
Alongside the Foundation's commitment to its own research and the conferences and seminars growing out of this work, the Island welcomes events sponsored by distinguished cultural and scientific organisations. It has even been the site of major international summits (inprimis the G7 in 1980 and 1987).
The role of the Giorgio Cini Foundation is attested by the many highly esteemed intellectuals, artists, politicians and economists who have been involved in its programme, and by the recollections of scholars and guests who have spent time on the Island."

"A strong interest in early music, paralleled with a steadily growing contemporary repertoire, has given the recorder a completely different dimension over the last 50 years. The international image of both styles, in combination with a real professionalism in pedagogical fields, have challenged aspiring recorder players ever since. This period of development has seen the recorder (blockflute) programmed as a solo and chamber instrument in specialized contemporary festivals all over the world. It is a recognized and appealing instrument for composers of all styles, not only because of the wide range of instrument-types, but mainly because of the great abilities and flexibility of the professional player.
Insight into this enormous variety of literature, supported by solid and profound background information, and above all, a highly professional instrumental education, is what the so-called BLOK system offers to serious and motivated recorder students. Besides further digging into historical and traditional subjects, a thorough exploration of contemporary literature and techniques is of major importance.
The BLOK (block) was founded in the 70's by Walter van Hauwe and Kees Boeke and has become a conception for numerous recorder players around the world. From the very beginning the BLOK attracted students from all over the world and it typically contains about 10 nationalities every year. Having studied in Amsterdam seems for many students to be a guarantee for becoming recognized professionals, and many of them have since managed a good and satisfying living as professional and successful recorder players."

We have members from both hemispheres and countless countries, but I start discussions on topics relevant to the US. I'd really like to hear from members outside of the US too. What's happening? How are you doing? What's bothering you or what are you celebrating?

LOL....... I live in Melbourne.... not much going on here..... we seem to be doing very well in this global melt down with money issues.... dollar is good... economy is stable and politicians are getting on top of finances.
We also have other attitudes than US people here.... although I couldn't detail what... but American's seem more out spoken or something... Australians just don't seem to care so much.... LOL....
How is your radical, evangelistic Islamist* population doing these days? I have noted, over the past several years, that Australia has attracted a crop of immigrant imams with jihadist views that are refugee transplants from British and American culture. Has that issue ratcheted down some lately?
* (I use the term Islamist with definite intention.)
I live in Melbourne - which I think has a lot of Lebanese Muslims, who are born in Australia. They work in shops etc.... and are very normal people - I notice the women more, because of their head coverings. They are all nice, out going and chatty.... with Australian accents...
I grew up in Leeds, and went to school very close to where the London bombers lived. 70% of the kids I went to school with, were Muslim, second generation from Pakistan. Many of my Muslim friends from that time were shocked about the bombings. Most Muslims are moderate, normal people, who are shocked at Terrorism.
I have many Muslim friends and acquaintances at the VA who are military veterans of various American postings and skirmishes around the globe. I hope you did not perceive within my question an Islamophobia that I assure you is not there. I was simply asking about recent turmoil in Melbourne and Sydney that occurred in fact and had nothing to do with my imaginings one way or another. Perhaps the news articles I read about it exaggerated the subject.
You know I have no idea about that.... I didn't even know about it! It's like when everyone phoned me worried because I was in Bristol when they had the riots and fires last July.... the world is a big place... event in city's and towns we can be totally unaware of what's going on.... it's all about watching the news I suppose....
People are still worried about the bankingcrisis here in Europe, but there´s not much we can do. It´s a guessing game: which bank is going to fall first and where are my small savings then...
The autumn has been dry and warm - should be cool and wet, so I am constantly reminded of global warming. And that´s another thing I can do very little about. I cannot even sell the car, I never had one.
I took my demented aunt for her weekly walk this afternoon - the old people´s home is close by - and helped her buy little presents for other people in her ward. Sinterklaas is coming up, a good occasion for small surprise gifts. After December 5 it´s xmas-shopping, but I won´t do much of that, only put up a plastic tree in Aunt´s room.
The banking crisis is scary. Our banks aren't all that stable either, but catastrophe seems less immanent. I guess the feeling of powerlessness is what impels some people to participate in Occupy demonstrations, to push for fundamental economic reform.
Do you still have some flowers blooming that would normally have disappeared by now?
It's so sad to have a cherished relative sink into dementia. You're doing what you can to make her life good.
Yes, I noticed the campanula is still blooming in my roofgarden; it should gave gone underground by now.
Your interest in people outside of USA, although a bit belated, is still very much welcome. We in India are doing fine. The economic crisis most of the world is feeling has had not much effect here. The biggest problem for us is the inflation, particularly inflation in food articles. Imagine an inflation of about 10% and you will have some idea of how we are doing!
This is not the point which we should be discussing . We Indians are very peculiar people, or should I say that we have become so? We do not oppose science at all and easily accept Darwins evolution for example. We would study this well in our schools, write science paper well and then would go to a temple to pray to the god that he should give us good marks!
India has the oldest tradition of atheists, but any thought of atheism is far far away from any Indians mind. I do not fear tellling anyone that I am an atheist. There would be no strong reactiopn before my face but there would strong murmers behind me. We believe in horoscopes, all marriages are fixed only after horoscopes matching. Age old blind faith is still surviving.
This by no means to suggest that we have no intellegient people. In fact, India is gifted with very brillant people, but, everyone these days is busy making money. Nobody has any other thoughts these days.
Despite this, we are doing well in space research, computer software and even missiles. We have excellent astrophysists and nuclear physicists. With these factors and improving economic conditions, patriotism is also finding strong roots and our dear neighbour is doing best to inculculate patriotism in our people.
Here in Kenya, its pretty much the African story of doom and gloom.The dollar has batterred our shilling senseless.Inflation is sky high and the pastors\bishops are making a killing exploiting the poor masses on the consequent economic gloom promising better times in the name of Jesus!The evangelical engines are revving up for kresimas.Our troops are still bogged down in Somalia chasing after the Al-Shabaab terrorists and doing quite a good job of it except some idiot judge has thrown a spanner in the works by ruling that we arrest Sudanese president Al Bashir when he next visists Nairobi causing a diplomatic row here.If we do that the diminishing ranks of those Al shabastards will swell with sudanese jihadists.And our only active credible Freethink\atheist outfit has finally crumbled to financial and social pressure and dissolved into Unitarian Universalism Church.Yikes!

Aditi Dass, Director of Technology Programs India, The Climate Group, looks at how India's blackouts over the past week are yet another sign that we must put clean energy at the heart of India's energy system. Now.
Earlier this week, over 680 million people in India -- almost 10% of our global population -- woke up to stifling heat, no light in their houses and infrastructure mayhem, as the nation experienced one of the world's biggest power blackouts.
And it's not the first time either. We've seen enormous power cuts plunge large portions of the country into darkness too often in the past, each time with no lessons learned.
But this time, the power outage – and how it was coped with at all levels – has caused many to question how India will handle the huge energy demands that come with its rapidly emerging economy. As nearly 100 million people are expected to enter the 'middle class' bracket by 2030, India's energy needs are inevitably skyrocketing.
While fingers were pointed at various Indian states taking more energy than they are permitted, a larger culprit is India's heavy reliance on coal. Almost three quarters of India's electricity comes from coal, much of which is imported.
Energy security is a major prerequisite for sustainable growth. If India is to continue on its accelerated path of economic growth, a low carbon future that uses cheaper, cleaner, more accessible energy is the only one that will guarantee prosperity. We must move from coal to clean energy.
If we make the move, the opportunity for India's low carbon economy will be huge.
Clean energy, particularly solar and wind, could revitalize India's failing energy system. 40% of India is still not connected to the grid – a number we could eventually connect via renewable sources.
HSBC research shows that the global market for low carbon goods and services will reach US$2.2 trillion in the coming decade. And India's share of this could be US$135 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 17% that is predicted to outstrip even the world's most powerful economies.
Happily, India is already emerging as a world leader in the clean energy sector. It boasts a total installed capacity of 17 gigawatts and a target to achieve 74 gigawatts of grid-connected renewable energy capacity by 2022.
Beyond clean energy, energy efficiency could also be hugely improved. India's energy efficiency market is set to treble to US$77 billion in the next ten years, driven by demand in industry, buildings, energy storage and transport.
But while India has achieved much so far in scaling-up clean energy and efficiency, we must do more. Government and business leaders must take bold action to mobilize and scale up clean energy technology and improve energy efficiency in India.
If we act now, India can take the lead in the global race to provide technology solutions that benefit business and industry, support foreign investment, boost global competitiveness, cut down on energy costs and ease coal dependence.
We cannot wait for another blackout. This is our final warning that we must adopt clean energy now. We must all drive the pace and scale of the Clean Revolution in India.

Leaf-peeping season is peaking throughout much of the Western North Carolina. And the spectacular natural phenomenon is well covered by local and national media outlets alike.
TripAdvisor, a national Web outlet that bills itself as "the world's largest travel site," revealed last week that Asheville topped its survey as the best fall-foliage destination in the U.S. The site calls our town "a spectacular location for leaf-peeping" where "travelers can enjoy the beautiful views by peddling through the Appalachian Mountains on one of many biking trails, or hop in the car for a scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway."
In addition to posting daily updates on the best places to spot fall foliage, the Asheville Citizen-Times reported that "Cooler Weather in Asheville Area May Boost Fall Leaf Colors." Early October saw warmer and drier weather than normal, which could shorten the fall leaf season, Western Carolina University associate professor Kathy Mathews told the paper.
"We may be in for a fast, short season because the trees are heat stressed," Mathews said. "We have had very limited rainfall and high temperatures."
In an online post, Xpress is encouraged readers to "Show Your Colors" by sending in autumn leaf photos that will be featured in an upcoming slide show. E-mail your photos to Xpress staffer Michael Muller at firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's also no coincidence that the Junior League of Asheville picked what's arguably the area's most beautiful season to hold it's inaugural "Fall Gala: Masquerade in the Meadow."
The nonprofit is celebrating its 85th year of civic leadership in Asheville with a Oct. 23 fundraiser at The Ramble's Longmeadow Park in Biltmore Forest. According to a press release, the outdoor full-moon event will feature aerial performers, music, food, beverages and a raffle beginning at 6 p.m. Musical guests will include the 17-piece Asheville Jazz Orchestra and Alleycat's Mobile Dance Party.
Guests are encouraged to get into the spirit of the season, and add some feathered flair or a mask to add a mysterious effect to the evening.
"Autumn is a season when nature is bringing many events together at one time to cause a bounty of colorful change, while the shorter days and cooler nights give a sense of change in the air that feels mysterious and exciting," writes Events Chair Sarah Nie. "The turning of another season is a signal to all that from change, great beauty, growth and improvement strengthens a community."
The Junior League of Asheville aims to strengthen the local community by promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women and improving our community through effective action. Over the course of the last 85 years, the group — currently made up of over 400 women — has contributed countless hours of volunteer service and returned more than $1 million in direct funding to community improvement projects.
Tickets for the Masquerade in the Meadow event are $50 each, which includes food and beverages.

I bought Z8 from club member in Feb, after 6 month for shipping, modification of tail lights, and registration work, finally it's delivered to me.
I'm still driving it so nervously, but its powerful acceleration and Eisenmann sound make me crazy everytime I drive it!
I'm trying to get used to it step by step and like to get lots of fun from driving it under Autumn sun.
Hope I can share fantastic experience with you all from now on.
At last I like to say special thanks to Marty. Because like other buyers, I asked his support for buying my car. Marty gave me proper and precise inspection report as well as right advise for both good and inferior points of the cars he inspected. Actually it was me that asked Marty to inspect a car of Jim Lyons. So, without his support, it was impossible for me to buy a reliable car from UK.
I really appreciate your support, Marty!

Little did Lafayette City Administrator Gary Klaphake know what awaited him when city officials this year began mulling a new vicious-animal ordinance, including a possible ban on pit bulls.
E-mails. Mountains and mountains of e-mails. From all across the country. There were so many e-mails criticizing any possible pit-bull ban that Klaphake couldn't count them all.
"As soon as you mention that you're working on a new form of a dog ordinance, you will get more e-mails than you can imagine," Klaphake said. "This is maybe a hotter subject in terms of public response than if you were raising taxes."
On Tuesday, the Lafayette City Council will vote on a strengthened vicious-animal ordinance that makes no mention of pit bulls.
Klaphake is among several metro-area leaders who have learned in recent months that dog lovers attack the possibility of a breed-specific ban. And Lafayette has peers in deciding to drop the topic altogether, though Klaphake said city officials never considered a ban much of an option.
At the beginning of this year, it looked as if pit-bull foes might see a blanket of bans against the dogs across the metro area. High-profile attacks had worsened the breed's already-dubious reputation.
After Denver's pit-bull ban was reinstated a year ago, officials in Commerce City, Aurora and Lone Tree followed suit in banning the breed, worried that Denver's cast-off pit bulls might flood their cities.
About a half dozen other cities also were pondering whether to pass a pit-bull ban. Since then, none of them has.
In Lafayette, Longmont, Lakewood, Parker and Federal Heights, the topic of a breed ban has been dismissed. Instead, most have examined the issue, heard the outcries from dog lovers and decided to strengthen their vicious-animal ordinances without singling out the pit bull.
In Jefferson County, the county government and municipalities are working together to create a comprehensive set of vicious-dog regulations that are not breed-specific.
"I think, honestly, it just comes down to people being willing to look at the facts and what the experts say as opposed to just their own fear," said Sonya Dias, who founded the group Pit Bull BAND in Denver and who had to send her own pit bull out of the city after the ban was reinstated. "Not one expert has ever said that this is effective."
Dias said better organization among breed-ban opponents has helped as well. Various animal-welfare organizations, including the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association and numerous shelters, have formed the Coalition for Living Safely With Dogs to oppose breed bans and to educate people to be better dog owners.
In Lakewood, Sonja Tweten helped organize a group to lobby City Council members against a breed ban.
"We were very worried … that breed-specific legislation was going to go through," said Twe ten, who has had her pit bull, Toby, for 12 years. "After that, our wheels kind of started turning on how we could educate and fight this thing."
Tweten gathered information on pit bulls, explaining that many of them are fine animals and some are even used in law enforcement. She and her group began trying to rally local veterinarians to the cause.
"We picked up more and more people who wanted to help," she said.
Mike Rock, the city manager in Lakewood, said officials heard from people on both sides of the pit-bull debate and, in the end, did what they felt would be most effective.
"What the council decided is that if we took a breed-specific ban off the table, it would tone down the level of emotion and rhetoric," Rock said. "And we could focus on how to deal with vicious dogs of all breeds."
Lakewood's proposed ordinance would require dog owners to register their animals. It also would impose strict regulations on owners of animals deemed vicious, ranging from requiring their dogs to be muzzled when on a walk to requiring owners to post signs reading, "Beware, dangerous animal."
Rock is working with officials in other Jefferson County cities to make this type of ordinance uniform across the county.
Some cities, such as Federal Heights, looked at their existing animal ordinances and decided no change was needed.
"For the few number of pit bulls we have registered, we really don't have a problem," said Federal Heights City Councilwoman Carol Wright. " … We basically decided to let sleeping dogs lie, so to speak, until such a time there is an epidemic of dog bites."
"The numbers never supported the hysteria around pit bulls," said Ben Drotar, a spokesman for the Table Mountain Animal Center, which saw its pit-bull population spike after the bans by Denver and Aurora.
When Longmont officials looked at dog bites in their city, they found that Labrador retrievers and lab mixes usually had the highest number of bites. In 2005, about 15 percent of the city's vicious-dog calls were about pit bulls and 8 percent of the bite reports involved pit bulls.
Still, there are those who remain unconvinced. The city of Arvada, for example, has not ruled out a pit-bull ban, spokeswoman Maria VanderKolk said.
"Our council's position is if it comes down to it and every area in the metro area passes a pit- bull ban, we're not going to be a dumping ground for pit bulls," she said.
But Lafayette's Klaphake said the decision to dismiss a pit-bull ban wasn't difficult for city leaders.
"It became clear to us this was all about how to manage vicious animals," he said. "Any dog can fall into it, not because of its breed but because of its behavior."

A torn ACL and MCL and at least somewhat damaged if not torn PCL as well is a pretty serious injury. Coming back from an ACL tear can be done, we saw that this season, in just 9 months from Starks and Hampton but Miller has a long way to go.
We can only hope his rehab goes well and he's able to start doing some running by the summer and then see what happens.
