2023-2024 Preschool Enrollment & Locations
Dear Families,
Our Early Learning Department is excited to announce several new preschool locations throughout Jeffco Public Schools that will support Colorado's Universal Preschool Program (UPK). Here at Rose Stein International, we will continue to have one half day preschool classroom and one full day preschool classroom supporting preschool students beginning August 2023.
Authentic, experience-based, and engaging learning begins in preschool. Jeffco preschools build a foundation of academic, social-emotional, and physical learning so children are ready for school and a thriving future in Kindergarten and beyond. Our programs are play-based and responsive to student needs so that children can be curious, joyful, and gain self-confidence while learning through inquiry and developing academic and social-emotional skills.
The Jeffco Public Schools Preschool Program will offer a wide variety of quality options for three and four-year-olds at multiple sites across the county in the 23-24 school year. In all classrooms, our students experience academic and social-emotional core instruction and have access to services for English language learners, and identified special education needs. Other program options include International Baccalaureate, Expeditionary Learning, and Dual Language which encompasses native language instruction.
Jeffco Public Schools Preschool Program offers half-day and full-day options for three and four-year-old children in many geographical areas of the district. Children turning three on or before October 1st are eligible to begin preschool. All programs are licensed by the Colorado Department of Human Services and meet the Colorado Department of Education Quality Standards for Early Childhood Care and Education Services.
Colorado's Universal Preschool Program
Beginning the 2023-24 school year, the State of Colorado will support at least 15 hours of preschool, or pre-k, for Colorado children who turn 4 between October 2, 2022, and October 1, 2023, in the year before they enter kindergarten.
Families of children in the year before they are eligible for kindergarten and with certain qualifying factors which are:
Housing status
Dual language learner
Foster/Kinship care
are eligible for an additional 15 hours stacked on top of the half-day programming, bringing those children to full-day programming. Children who turn 3 between October 2, 2022, and October 1, 2023, are also eligible for UPK if they have at least one qualifying factor.
UPK is available during the school year (nine months). The funding for each child's preschool tuition goes directly to the participating preschool provider. UPK providers must be licensed by the State of Colorado.
Participating in UPK is voluntary, both for families and preschool providers.
Applying for Colorado's Preschool Program (UPK)
Families of children in the year before they are eligible for kindergarten, and qualifying 3-year-olds, are able to apply for UPK Colorado for the 2023-24 school year beginning on January 17, 2023.
Families can apply for two types of programs. Your options include half-day and full-day. Half-day (15 hours) of that program will go toward your total cost of care.
For example, if you are eligible for half-day, but need full-day care, the half-day portion is covered by UPK Colorado and the additional hours could be paid through Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) or parent pay.
You can submit an application anytime once the application opens on Jan. 17. Applications at the beginning of the year will be processed in rounds. This allows the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC) to provide an equal opportunity for applicants to access providers of their choice. Once the rounds are completed, applications will be processed as they arrive.

Surrey is a big deal in B.C. In fact, it's the second biggest deal as it has the second largest population of any city in the province. It's predicted that by 2041 it will be the largest, and web design agencies like us have taken notice.
As a Surrey web design agency, we code in a handful of languages. But, frankly, Surrey still has us beat in the lingual diversity department. Over 100 languages are spoken in the city, and there are countless communities where families and businesses are growing. It's also filled with an up-and-coming generation of young people. In fact, ⅓ of the population is under 19. It's a community with a bright future and plenty of room for even more growth.
SEO is a competitive playing field, and you have to know what your competitors are doing to get on top. For example, as a Surrey SEO Company, we make sure to search keywords and to find out if our clients' competitors are using those same words. If they are, it's better to use phrases that are highly searched, but not used by other companies.
You can also use your browser to find out who is leading the competition on certain terms in your industry. We are an SEO marketing agency in Surrey, so we search terms—on Private Mode in our browser—based on geographic area. This makes sure Google isn't influenced by our past searches, revealing the real competitors for that search. That's just one way our research can give our clients a competitive advantage in the ever-growing world of Surrey SEO and web design.
These days, if you're website isn't designed for mobile, your website isn't going to get much use. Younger generations are doing most of their browsing, searching, shopping, and socializing on mobile platforms. And if your site doesn't cater to them, then your business won't either. In the Lower Mainland, with a young demographic consisting of ⅓ of the total population, having a Surrey web design agency that knows how to present your business to them is critical.

'234 prisoners from JK in UP jails, 27 in Haryana'
As many as 234 prisoners belonging to Jammu and Kashmir are currently lodged in different jails of Uttar Pradesh and 27 other inmates in prisons in Haryana, Union minister G Kishan Reddy informed Parliament on Wednesday.
He also said a total of 3,248 prisoners are lodged in the jails of Jammu and Kashmir and the total number of prisoners belonging to Jammu and Kashmir, within the state as well as outside, is 3,509.
In 2019, up to November, altogether 234 prisoners belonging to Jammu and Kashmir are in jails in Uttar Pradesh and 27 in Haryana prisons, Reddy said, replying to a written question asked by member M P Veerendra Kumar in the Rajya Sabha.
In 2018, as many as 2,728 people were in the jails of Jammu and Kashmir, while 41 other inmates from the state were in the jails of Haryana, he added.
These prisoners include those detained after the Centre, on August 5, announced abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status under Article 370 of the Constitution and bifurcation of the state into Union territories, undertrial detainees and convicts.
The cases against those lodged in various jails were related to murder, attempt to murder, culpable homicide not amounting to murder, rape, theft, burglary, dowry death, kidnapping and abduction, cheating, those registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act, Arms Act, Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), besides preventive detention, Reddy said.
He added that the government of Jammu and Kashmir had reported that in order to prevent the commission of offences involving a breach of peace, activities prejudicial to the security of the state and maintenance of public order, 5,161 people, including stone-pelters, overground workers, separatists, etc. were taken into preventive custody in the Kashmir Valley since August 4.
"Of them, 609 are under preventive detention. Since, these people have been detained under statutory provisions by the magistrates concerned, based on their satisfaction in each case, it is not possible for the government to give any timeline for their release," the minister said.

You won't find many 9/2 favourites around outside horse racing handicaps and football first-scorer markets, so Nairo Quintana's meaty market-leading odds to be crowned King of the Mountains in next month's Tour de France points to an extremely tight race.
Last year's polka-dot jersey winner Rafal Majka is all the way back at a top price of 40/1 with Ladbrokes to defend his title, which was attained when Quintana sidestepped Le Tour for a proper crack at the Giro d'Italia, which he won, and after joint jollies Chris Froome and Alberto Contador had crashed out.
That pair are co-third-favourites at 10/1 apiece to be top climber, but considering neither have managed as much in 11 combined cracks at the world's number one bike ride, they're easily swerved.
Despite not managing to produce a Tour de France general classification winner since Bernard Hinault's fifth and final victory 30 years ago, the home team tend to do much better on the peaks.
French riders have been crowned King of the Mountains a whopping 11 times in the past 21 renewals of Le Tour, with Richard Virenque accounting for seven of those triumphs including four on the bounce between 1994 and 1997.
Thomas Voeckler (40/1) was the last man to keep the polka-dot jersey on French shores in 2012, but the 36-year-old 's Europcar teammate and countryman Pierre Rolland leads the home contingent, in the betting at least, as 8/1 second favourite.
However, last year's general classification podium finisher Thibaut Pinot looks interesting at 20/1 after a fine 2015 thus far, including winning the 'queen' stage (which always includes the highest point in a bike race) in the recent Tour de Suisse.
In conclusion, Quintana is a worthy favourite having been crowned king in his only previous Le Tour appearance, while defending champion Majka is a ridiculous price to retain the title despite the increased competition, with Pinot the value pick for the home fans.

The Family Connection
The Genealogy of Jeanie's Family better know as Jeanieology: Book Reviews: History: Whatever Strikes My Fancy!
English Ancestry of William Berry's Wife Jane (Locke Hermins), is it Junky Genealogy?
When I first started doing genealogy on ancestry.com two things happened. One, I fell in love with genealogy and two, I became a 'copy and paster'. After several months of building this giant unsourced tree I had my epiphany. How, I asked myself, do I know if any of this is true. That is the day I really began doing genealogy and stopped being a 'copy and paster'. The problem was and is, that all that junky genealogy was still out there for other 'copy and pasters' to put in their giant unsourced trees and perpetuate inaccurate information.
If there is a nice way to tell someone that you think their ancestry tree is incorrect, I apparently haven't found it yet. I have joined both wikitree and werelate, both great sites for universal trees. The problem I'm having is that when I find the same erroneous information on these sites, the profile managers are not always receptive to hints, sources or any information that would indicate that they might be on the wrong ancestor track. When that happens I usually slink back here to my blog and lay out my case for why I think the information available on their site and others is wrong. Hoping that people who are looking for real information might stop by and read my stuff.
So here is my case for why I think that the ancestry of Jane Locke Hermins, wife of William Berry of Sandy Beach (Rye) New Hampshire is a case of 'junky genealogy.'
William Berry was an early settler in Sandy Beach in the Province of New Hampshire. He was there by 1636. He married and had children, dying in 1654. His widow Jane was granted administrative rights to his estate. [1] According to Torrey's New England Marriages, she was only known as Jane.[2] In a 1686 court deposition she stated her age as 67, giving her a birth year of 1619.[3] By then, she was married to her second husband Nathaniel Drake. Other than some court appearances for naughty behavior, Jane is not mentioned in any record, deed, or other contemporary document, that I can find.
judith locke
On 8 July 1678, William Berry, son of William and Jane Berry, married Judith Locke. Judith was the daughter of Nathaniel Locke and his wife Judith Hermins Locke. [4] Remember this fact for future reference!
jane locke hermins
So, now to Jane Locke Hermins, wife of William Berry and Nathaniel Drake. What does ancestry and wikitree say about her and her ancestry.
wikitree profile [5]:
Father: Thaddeus John Hermins, b. 1584/b.1588, Devon, d. 1650 Hampton, Rockingham, New Hampshire. ( he has two profiles, with two birth years)
Mother: Lady Jane Locke, AKA Sackville, b. 2 Aug. 1588, All Hallows the Less, London, d. 1660 Hampton, New Hampshire. (will discuss the parents of 'Lady Jane' later)
Parents marriage: 7 October 1605, London, both would be 17 years old in born in 1588
Birth of Jane: 1619, York, Yorkshire, England
Sources cited in profile: ancestry trees, and first hand information provided by the profile manager
ancestry profile [6]
Father: (Sir) Thaddeus John Hermins b. 1584, Devon, d. 1650 Hampton, New Hampshire
Mother: Jane Locke, baptized 2 August 1588, All Hallows the Less, London, d. 1660, Hampton, NH
Parents marriage: 1605 - 1615 London
Birth of Jane: 1619, Rye, New Hampshire or York, or London
Sources cited in profile: ancestry trees, London Baptisms, Marriages and Burials. [7]
So, what do we have to work here for sources. A bunch of ancestry trees with either no sources or as a single source a baptism in London in 1605 for a Jane Locke. No name was recorded for her father. I looked at multiple trees on family websites and could not find a single one that had a source for Thaddeus John or his wife Jane Locke.
Red flags should be waving all over these two profiles. Here's some of what I see:
1. A middle name. This may not seem like a red flag to you, but middle names were not in use until the mid 1700s. Anytime you seem a middle name prior to 1750, it should raise a red flag.
2. A man born in Devon, marries a woman born in London, and they have a daughter born in either York or in the Province of New Hampshire. Most ordinary people were born, lived and died within a small radius. To see this spread, from one end of England to the other, with a stop in the middle should set off red flags.
3. A birth in 1619 in Rye, NH should set off alarm bells. If you don't see red with this one then you need to get out some history books and start reading.
4. New Hampshire was first settled by fisherman. There were very few Lords and Ladies that lasted in New England. If a Sir Hermins and his wife Lady Jane immigrated to New Hampshire in 1619 I'm sure it would be recorded.
Since I cannot find any sources from wikitree or ancestry tree I decided to look for Thaddeus John Hermins myself. Here is a list of places I looked:
1. familysearch.org - nothing
2. ancestry BMD for England - nothing
3. Freereg - British site for BMD - nothing
4. New Hampshire State and Provincial Records - nothing
5. Rockingham County Land deeds - nothing
6. Hampton's Lane Memorial Library Genealogy database - nothing
7. Local history books for Rye and Porthsmouth - nothing
8. Noyes, Libby, Davis, Genalogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire - nothing
9. Savage, Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England - nothing
I cannot find not a single piece of direct or indirect evidence that Thaddeus John Hermins even existed, never mind married, had a child and immigrated to New Hampshire. What I do have is a lot of negative evidence that he is not only not the father of Jane, wife of William Berry but that he may not in fact be an actual person.
another thaddeus and it keeps gettin worse
About 1640 a child was born in Ireland, his name; Thaddeus Berry. What could go wrong here, we have the name Berry and the name Thaddeus, we're on to something. Check him out on ancestry.com and guess who his parents were. That's right William Berry and Jane Locke Hermins. Isn't that nice, they named him after her father. Even better, he really was a real person, and there is lots of information about him. But the bad news is, he's not related to our family. Like I said he was born in Ireland. He has nothing to do with our Berry family in New Hampshire. [8] See the Register article by Michael Hager for his full story.
conflation
Conflation is a great word to describe what is going on here. This is a conflation of multiple identities. The names Locke and Hermins belong to Judith, wife of William, not to Jane his grandmother. But this misidentification of Jane sends us on a wild goose chase in England looking for a man named Hermins and woman named Locke. A Jane Locke is born in London in 1605, aha it must be her. But what do we know about this child Jane Locke, not even her father is identified. How can you build your case with nothing. A man named Thaddeus Berry immigrates to Massachusetts, not quite New Hampshire, but close enough it seems for some. Suddenly, he becomes on of the family and he's named for his grandfather Thaddeus John. But, Thaddeus Berry is an Irishman whose real name was Teague O'Barry.
Thaddeus John Hermins and his wife Jane Locke are pure fiction. The name of William Berry's wife was Jane, and that's all we know.
Lady Anne Sackville
lady jane locke sackville hermins
WTF is all I could think when I first saw this mess of names. Okay so let's tackle the Sackville name first. Ann Sackville is said to be the mother of Jane. There are three women named Ann Sackville found in Burke's Peerage. Ann Sackville, daughter of Richard, married Gregory Fienes, Lord Darce, she died in 1595. Second is Ann Sackville daughter of Sir Thomas Sackville, 1st Earl Dorset. She married Sir Thomas Glemham and was still alive in 1626. Lastly there was Ann Sackville b. c. 1586 who died 25 September 1664. She married Edward Seymour and then Edward Lewis, she was the daughter of Robert Sackville, 2nd Earl Dorset. One website I saw said that Ann Sackville Locke was the half sister of Ann d/o Thomas Sackville. If that were the case then Thomas Sackville would have to have been married twice, but he wasn't, he married Cecily Baker and no other. Ergo, no half sister Ann. [9]
Another candidate thrown into the mix is Jane Spencer, daughter of Sir John Spencer of Althorpe. She married three times, her last husband was Robert Sackville, son of Thomas. They married in 1592, he died in 1609. Anne Spencer Stanley Compton Sackville died in 1618. One online tree has her married to Thomas Sackville, but that was not the case.
No Anne Sackville, Locke or otherwise, was buried in Westminster Abbey.
christoper matthew locke
Lady Jane's father is said to be Christopher "Matthew" Locke. Why do those quotation marks around Matthew make me feel that something is fishy here? Christoper is said to have been born in 1568 in Pensford, Buckinghamshire, England. (FYI Pensford is in Somerset) The wikitree bio says he d. in 1635 in Westminster Abbey. I'll start by telling you that there is no Christoper Locke buried in Westminster Abbey, perhaps he died while attending a service but he ain't buried there. So who was this Christoper Matthew Locke?
A genealogy of this Locke family was written in the 1700's in a gentleman's magazine which was later used as the basis of a book by John Goodwin Locke entitled "Book of the Lockes," published in 1853. [10] This book is about the descendants of William Locke of Woburn, Massachusetts who immigrated to New England when he was six years old. The book tries to make a case that the immigrant William is related to the family of the philosopher John Locke, but he cannot prove it. In fact he got that part really wrong. That being said he does lay out a pedigree of the Locke family.
photo by Lewis Clarke
The part of the pedigree that concerns us here is that of Michael Locke, son of Sir William. According to the pedigree Michael had a son Matthew who in turn had a son Christopher Locke of East Brent, Somerset. This Christopher had children with an unknown wife. The baptism of four children are found in the parish records of East Brent, Somerset. There is no daughter named Jane mentioned in the pedigree and there is no wife named. The author also tried to tie Matthew to the Locke family of merchants in London, but he does not make a case for this either. Now the internet genealogies would have us believe that the Christopher Locke married the daughter of an Earl, and that their daughter married a untraceable man from Devon and landed in New Hampshire. Sorry, but it's a bunch of hooey balooey.
Conclusion: The English ancestry of Jane Unknown Berry is, in a word, unknown.
FYI: The father of the philosopher John Locke was John son of Nicholas Locke, he was not the son of Christopher Locke.

Thanks for the info!!!!
I am a Berry too by birth.
Please can you give any info about William Berry's parents other than their first names of William and Jane?

Yes! Loved this post! As a Lock who comes from Somerset, I am glad someone called out all this nonsense.
I am searching for an Olive Berry 1630 Virginia supposedly married Nicholas Ivery. Ancestry.com suggested her parents were James Berry (1607) and Naomi Preston (1615). A lot of the information isn't adding up in my mind. I would appreciate any info you might have. I am a trained scientist so I like everything in black and white with facts, facts, facts. I am finding that sometime facts are difficult to pin down. Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.
I appreciate the good work that you do and your passion for getting the story straight.

New to Ancestry, and I was having trouble believing the Jane Locke-Thomas Sackville connection and deciphering the Hermins stuff. Sounds like my skepticism was well-founded. Sigh. So apparently I am NOT related to John Locke (which I first thought), nor am I descendent of Baron Thomas "The Poet" etc. But hey, I AM a Berry descendant, and that sounds like a good thing to be.

Brady case gets rolling on Wednesday
Posted by Mike Florio on April 3, 2011, 2:57 PM EDT
It's been 23 days since the NFL and its players stopped trying to work out a new labor deal. As the negotiations collapsed, the NFLPA decertified as a union and a group of ten players — including Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, and Saints quarterback Drew Brees — filed a class-action lawsuit against the league office and the 32 NFL franchises.
On Wednesday, the case heads to court for the first time, as the players attempt to obtain an injunction that would force the league to lift the lockout while the antitrust lawsuit proceeds.
Given the arguments made by the parties, there's not much middle ground. Someone is right on the money, and someone is dead wrong. And so Judge Susan Nelson either will agree with the players and grant the injunction, or she'll agree with the owners and allow the lockout to stand. (There's a chance that she'll find that the players are suffering no irreparable harm at the present time, but that they could be suffering irreparable harm once training camp opens and/or when the season starts. As a result, she could deny the motion now and invite the players to re-file it later in the year.)
Inevitably, the ruling will be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. If the players win, the league will ask Judge Nelson to "stay" the injunction pending appeal.
Whoever loses at the appellate level could then try to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. With the term ending in June or so, emergency procedures would need to be utilized in order to get a final ruling before the Supreme Court breaks for year, to reconvene in October.
Despite plenty of speculation, no one knows the amount of time the process will consume. However, courts tend to take requests of this nature seriously. The high-profile status of the fight could accelerate it even more quickly than the "normal" case would proceed.
The eventual winner will acquire significant leverage in the negotiations, if/when any negotiations ever occur again. If the lockout ends, the players will be getting paid and playing football and their leverage will be the league's inability to lock the players out and the strength of their antitrust lawsuit (which would be strong but, despite characterizations by some in the media, by no means a slam dunk). If the league wins, the lockout will continue and there will be no football until the two sides reach an agreement.
Either way, the two sides need to start talking again. We favor whatever outcome in court makes that happen in real life.

Right now the league and the owners have more leverage than the players, and thus a ruling to favor the league will more likely produce a quicker deal than the other way around. If things are tilted say 80% as a figure of speech towards the league, then this comes closer to being a nail in the coffin so to speak, and forces the players to take whatever they can get moreso than if they win and the tides are back to even keel.
She has no basis to see irreparable harm to the players. Poor folks can lose their job and get by and paltry unemployment amounts, and in some cases with delays in receiving those funds. Guys that make millions, or in the worst case scenario hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, can afford to be without work or pay for a lengthy period of time before it becomes reasonable to suggest that they should be subject to trouble. Any trouble that any of them have has nothing to do with a lockout, moreso than excessive and unreasonable amounts of their own personal financial incompetence, and that's not grounds to earn a court ruling.

I cant believe both sides waited until the last minute to try and get something done. I dont care who is right, and who is wrong. Come to a agreement, and get this over with before you lose anymore fans then you already have.

Who's Brady Case?
touchdownroddywhite says:
Fast track is for the league to win the initial ruling, if you ask me. Players are already hurting – IE Dez Bryant. Not to mention comments from guys who are likely in the know(IE Strahan) indicate that many players probably are already uncomfortable about the possibility of not getting paid on time.
If that possibility becomes more likely, the divide between those standing strong and those who secretly don't care about the pie as long as they get their next paycheck will surely become worse causing those players to start pushing harder for "talks" to resume.
If the players win and the lockout is lifted, I'd expect the owners to still hold steady hoping any one of the possible multiple appeals they'll file will stick and they still won't be interested in negotiating since they'll have no leverage left at that point and thus no reason to try for a deal.

I just want to watch football…
ilduce24 says:
This really tells you the sad state that the NFL is in these days and just the world in general. Instead of acting like men, and realizing that the league is such an important thing they have built and just hammering this thing out in hard negotiations every one is looking for the most legal leverage that they can gain and basically have the lawyers running the show. Nothing good has every come out of lawyers running any negotiations, and I just hope they don't do any long-lasting damage to the league itself because they have already done enough damage to my image of the league and I'm sure plenty of other fans feel the same way.
goodjet says:
I'm usually for unions —- but —– Personally, football or no football or (whatever) I hope this particular horribly run union of selfish greedy idiotic pathetic butt wipes gets Crushed
chapnastier says:
The onwers will win. Every ounce of evidence points int heir favor with the logically thinking human being. Let's hope the players get crushed here and learn a valuable lesson that no one player is above the league or the sport. GO OWNERS!
Three questions, Mike:
If the players win the injunction lifting the lockout, is Judge Nelson likely to stay the injunction pending appeal?
Which side has the upper hand with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals?
If the players are granted the injunction, it will force the league back to business and all parties will return to the negotiating table. If the two sides then achieve a new collective bargaining agreement, will the players drop the pending antitrust suits?
ajtexans says:
The players want to turn this into a league of haves and have nots, like MLB with its bloated guaranteed contracts and unlevel playing field. The game we love, from a business standpoint at least, is at a major crossroads and may never be the same. Pete Rozelle must be turning in his grave.
Patriot42 says:
I used to love baseball but in the last few years the balance sucks in the MLB and if the NFL goes the same route I won't watch them either.
bunjy96 says:
The only way I see the league to continue to do business as we know it, (not like MLB) is for the owners to win in the courts.
If the players win, kiss the NFL as we know it good-bye, and me with it.
bcvv says:
Waiting until the last minute to negotiate, playing hardball, legal threats, legal action, they are handling it like men. The men of todays society. Both sides have no regard where their wealth comes from and never will. They are risking ruining a game of rich tradition permanently.
Now if they were cowboys of the wild west maybe they could just have a shootout instead? I love the spectacle they are creating. Blow the damn thing up! Just like the past few years, they wont be getting my money. Not directly anyway.
iknowfootballandyoudont says:
Time to crush the greedy, disrespectful players.
"I want whats owed to me"
"But i don't want to pay what I owe others"
~Nfl players~
nflfan101 says:
Let me get this right. The players walk out of negotiations and file an anti-trust lawsuit. The owners then respond with their only option- a lockout. Now the players say that they are being irreparably harmed by the very action that they forced the owners to take? It is sort of like I threaten you with harm and tell you to drive 100 mph and then complain because you are driving too fast.
This whole mess is about giving D. Smith (a lawyer) cover. If the players win, he can claim that he got more money for the richest players – Brady, Manning, etc. And if the players lose, then it is the judge's fault. Either way, Smith thinks that he wins.
And either way, I believe that the players lose in the end. If the players win the anti-trust case, there will not be any player employment rules, including minimum pay. If they lose the anti-trust case, then they will probably be worse off than if they had reached a settlement earlier.
Patriot42 says: Apr 3, 2011 4:54 PM
I use to love the Yankees. However, for a number of years now, they and Boston have just bought the players. It is no fun to watch and I don't watch. I don't even care about who wins the world series.
If the NFL players want the same thing as MLB then they are on the right path. I guess that D. Smith and the rich players want kill the golden goose.
Make no mistake, the owners still hold all the advantages whether the court rules in favor of the players request for injunction or not.
I still would like to know why the players feel they are entitled to 50% of the income when they did not put up any money to purchase a team, Build a stadium, Upkeep a stadium, Pay team employees, or any other costs?
Players say they "want what is owed to them". What exactly is owed to them? They got paid last year.
They ran from negotiating to file decertification. They turned down viewing the books after crying to see them for months.
Sorry, but MEmaurice and his blind followers are phonies.
The problem is these players need to see what REAL work is. Go spend some time with hard working folks who struggle to support their family with low pay, little benefits, yet still PAY THEIR DEBTS!
Stop crying like Deb about "they risk injury every week".
Soldiers, fireman, and others risk much more than injury every day. They knew what they were signing up for. Just like the players did. Yet they arent demanding ridiculous pay.
Players are millionaires because of the owners. The owners are not billionaires because of the players.
I and many many others can play football and replace the players. We just can't run as fast, or throw as far, or hit as hard. We can replace the players and play for much less and survive.
But the players can't do our jobs( pilots,, Air traffic controllers, jet mechanic, chemist, translator, etc)
and they sure couldnt sure couldn't survive on our pay.
No matter what the groupies say.
BTW, I can't wait for Mr. Goodell to start throwing out those fines at the cheating players like Harrison once the season does begin(hopefully after the players all go broke).
thefiesty1 says:
Oh boy! I can't wait until Wednesday for Judge Nelson hands the players' their heads on a platter and accept the deal the owners made before their union* decertified and walked out.
I hope we have this decision before the poor players have to file for bankruptcy.

iknowfootballandyoudont says: Apr 3, 2011 5:49 PM
Because the players, unlike the pro-owners bloggers, understand supply and demand and basic economics. The players support a man's right to earn what he can based on applying his skill and work ethic in the free market, and you don't believe that. Sad.
If the owners have the guts to say "We won't guarantee a maximum or a minimum to the players" the players would jump at that in a heart beat. But the owners do not have the guts to do that.
The law is with the players. And the facts (ie the game will not break, and competitive balance will not end, if some teams decide to budget 60% of revenue for player salaries) are with the players as well.
The owners do have pr on their side, though that will not have much weight after Wednesday.
Thumbs down on three neutral questions about upcoming legal proceedings? Aw, boys, can't you play nice with the pro-union girl even when she's not being provocative? 😆
If you were as interested in football as you are in crushing another union, you'd be praying for the lockout to end and the players to drop those antitrust suits.
@iknowfootballinmydreams …
Variety! I'm impressed. Now instead of calling me a groupie and slamming Bama, you're calling me a groupie and slamming Pittsburgh. My, aren't you versatile! 😉 Yes, anytime a woman says don't damn 1700 men for the actions of a couple dozen, it's because she has a hankering for football players. Yum-yum!
6thsense79 says:
I absolutely hope the players get the lockout lifted. I'm so sick and tired of all the player bashing on this site.
When players go on strike they get bashed by "fans"….when owners lockout the players they get bashed by "fans".
It's rediculous. "Fans" don't give a damn about the players…..They want them to play, shut up, and when their brains turn to mush after retiring well then oh well.
southmo says:
I don't think the players are going to win in court, when all is said and done. It's hard to argue the NFL has a monopoly when the UFL is playing games. Microsoft had a similar position for years and they didn't break them up. And the high courts have already mentioned "competitive balance" as a consideration. In other words, there's a real possibility the players get crushed in the end. Unfortunately, we might not find out who wins and who doesn't until next year.
And if the owners get crushed, it's inevitable that the game of NFL football will be over. No draft. A league of haves and have nots. No system of free agency. No league-wide disciplinary rules. Various schedules. A greatly diminished competitive league. There will be less money to split.
So if the law truly is on the player's side. I say change the law. Make an exception for sports leagues and let's play some ball.
Comparing the NFLPA to normal worker unions is completely wrong. What other company gives their employees 50% of the profits? Answer, none. Advantage owners.
Yes, chap, you're right. As some of us have been saying 'til our fingers bleed, the relationship between NFL players and owners is not the typical employer/employee relationship 🙄
In typical corporate employer/employee relationships, the business is like a well-oiled machine that keeps rolling no matter who is on the assembly line. (Small businesses are different because the owners in most casts is the business.)
The NFL is more akin to publishing. The publisher assumes all costs of bringing the book to the public. The writer produces the product and is paid a percentage of revenues negotiated by contract. How much the writer can negotiate depends on the value of the write. The more revenue the writer generates, the more he can negotiate.
Without the writer, the publisher has no product. Without the publisher, the writer has no way to get the product to the public. The relationship is mutually dependent.
Right now, the NFL takes $1 billion from the top of revenues to cover expenses before the percentages are divided. The players portion of revenues includes personnel expenses such as health care, pensions, and retiree benefits. It's not as cut and dried as current employees running off with 50 percent of the profits. 🙄 In the free market, people are paid based on the revenue they generate. You've heard of capitalism, right?
bkrsrb says:
Wow, you guys and girls think like lawyers? Look. I am and always will be a union sympathizer as before I retired I was a union member. But the fact is a strike in about 95% of the cases fails. The reason is the loss of income never seems to match the loss incurred while on strike.
Most players in the NFL do not make a million dollars. Actually according to what I could dig up the numbers are a lot lower than that. I can't find the percentage but it has to be under 98% make well under that million dollar figure.
I know that they still are paid but the owners are far from suffering and they were the ones that would no longer negotiate.
It is a mess but the law is on the side of the players. Remember like yourself most people spend pretty much their salary to make ends meet and these guys are no different.
I just hope the strike is over before the season begins. This will play itself out and we have no real input accept for our personal rage at what is happening.
As far as this hurting Brady, and rest, someone has to represent the players. The most influential must do this as they are inclined to be more adept and in tune with the players. The idea of this being detrimental to those who are in the fore is ludicrous and the writer of the piece needs to understand this. I'm sure they do but the sensational nature of the piece was made to stir up emotions and to read this board there appears to be no lack of strong feelings. Good luck to them both. Fact is I could care less as long as they find a way to salvage the season.
@bkrsrb …
Loved your comment. Just want to remind you of one thing. This isn't a strike. This is a lockout. The owners have locked out the players, cut off their pay, and shut down the league, so the players have no choice–they can't go back to work. It's all up to the owners. And you're right–most of the players are just tryiing to make a living like the rest of us.

Following. I would like to know as well.
Is square set cornice more prone to cracking?
Just a quick question. We have had our new place built . We used square set cornice throughout the house. Hand over was about 9months ago.
We had our new house completed about 6 months ago and then we did a side path around the house pretty much immediately.
I am in the Brisbane City Council.
Does garage slab needs to be coated?
Hi guys, just moved into a new built about 3 months ago and just noticed today that the paint in the garage ceiling has come off.
Hi, I live in Rochedale at the moment (probably the same distance as you to the dumping ground but on the opposite end) and couldnt smell anything at all.
Alfresco slab with builder or after HO?
Wow! 900 for a slab in alfresco!!?
Agree with red15, mojo has good styling.
After some advice, much appreciated in advance.

10th WFH Global Forum 28/11/2017 2:00pm
Who we are » News » 10th WFH Global Forum
At the beginning of November HFNZ Vice-President Catriona Gordon attended the 10th WFH Global Forum on Treatment Products for Bleeding Disorders. These are always full of interesting information, and are a very good opportunity for our people to connect with other organisations from around the world.
The 10th Global Forum was held, as the previous nine have been, in Montreal, where the head office of the WFH is situated. Those attending are a mix of treaters, patient representatives, researchers and pharmaceutical staff. The attendees number around 170, and given the location there is a large proportion of people from North America (Canada and the USA). A small number come from developing countries, including Dr Sophal from Cambodia, who attended this year for the first time. Europe is well-represented, and there are many names which will be familiar to those who have attended Congresses in the past. Suffice to say there are a lot of amazing brains in the room, who have devoted, for some, their careers, and for others their lives and careers to the advancement of the treatment of haemophilia.
The WFH organisers poll the attendees throughout the sessions on various aspects that are going to be discussed in sessions, and then after the session itself, to ascertain the effect on the participants once they have heard the presentations on particular topics. The questions are multi-choice, and the attendees answer using an electronic device, enabling the results to be displayed to everyone immediately. A question which is always asked at the beginning and at the end of each bi-annual meeting is "What is the greatest risk in haemophilia currently?". The options are:
Price and access to treatment
Unknown viruses
These first three answers summarise the focus of the meeting each year, and this year was no different.
The meeting commenced with presentations by David Lillicrap, Steven Pipe and Christine Keipert, in a session entitled Inhibitors – solving the problem. Before you get too excited, I should say that the problem was not solved at this meeting. The occurrence of inhibitors in pwHA is around 30%, meaning that during their lifetime, up to 3 out of 10 pwHA will experience an inhibitor at some level. Inhibitors in pwHB is around 4%. Sometimes the inhibitor is not significant, othertimes, especially when diagnosed when the patient is young, the inhibitor can be successfully tolerised, but in the worst scenario the inhibitor is untreatable and seriously affects the patient for life.
Dr Pipe noted that there has been no evidence of any significant reduction in incidence or prevalence over several decades of care, and there may actually have been an increase over the past 20 years. In the US the Medical Scientific and Advisory Council (MASAC) have set up a working group, the primary goal of which is to be a catalyse for the development and implementation of a national agenda to lead toward the prevention and eradication of inhibitors within the US haemophilia population. A national inhibitor surveillance programme has been set up and it is intended to enroll all new previously untreated patients (PUP) on diagnosis into this programme. Both David Lillicrap and Steven Pipe in their talks discussed the fact that while we know some of the risk profiles for developing inhibitors, the treatment of such patients is not being tailored with this risk in mind. The surveillance programme is intended to ensure that treatment is delivered with recognition of the individual patient's risk of developing inhibitors.
David Lillicrap discussed the difficulties with diagnosis at present, given that the primary test for inhibitors is very unreliable. He noted that there are other enzymes which are noticeable at an increased level before the inhibitors occur, and that these could be tested as an alternative. Inhibitor prevention needs to be a major priority, and to do this there needs to be close attention to the patient during their first 20 Exposure Days (EDs). Alternative therapies for patients with inhibitors, such as Emicizumab, hemostasis rebalancing strategies and gene therapy also need to be a focus in the ongoing treatment and management these patients.
Extended Half-Life Products
Dr Manuel Carcao from the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, gave a presentation on how extended half life products were made available to the Canadian population in 2016. Having been put onto the pharmaceutical schedule in Canada (they have a similar system to Pharmac here in NZ), all patients were advised by letter of the availability of Eloctate and Alprolix, the extended F VIII and F IX therapies (EHL). At the same time, due to the result of a tender change, Advate was being withdrawn, which meant that all those patients using Advate would have to switch to something else. Those patients on the other Standard Half-Life therapies (SHL) still being purchased for the patient population could choose to remain on their existing treatment or switch to the EHL.
There were different rates of switching to the EHL in different HTCs, which is likely due to the different approaches by doctors. No one on a continuing SHL was forced to change, and the result was that in this population only 30% chose to change to the EHL. Amongst those patients who had to change from Advate to something else, either the EHL or another SHL, 96% changed to the EHL. Dr Carcao also presented data on the difference in treatment regimens pre and post switch at his hospital. Of the 57 F XIII child patients, 40 were on "full dose" prophylaxis, being every other day (EOD) or 3 X/wk pre-switch. Following the switch, 21 changed to every 3 days (Q3D), 35 were 2/wk and one treated once a week. With respect to factor usage, there was an overall decrease of 15%
post-switch.
In the FIX population 9 patients switched to Alprolix. All these patients moved from 2/wk or EOD pre-switch to 1/wk, although 2 changed to %5D within 4 months of switching due to bleeding on D5-6 post prophylaxis. There was a 40% decrease in factor usage post-switch.
Frequent trough levels were also done, although no formal PK studies were done. The mean FVIII levels were 13% after 48 hours, 4.1% after 72 hours and 1.8% after 96 hours. The estimated average half life was 16-17 hours.
The overall impression of these patients on EHL is that they are bleeding less. As an indicator of patient satisfaction it was noted that no patient had asked to switch back.
At each meeting the WFH invites pharmaceuticals to present updates from clinical trials they are carrying out. It is always interesting, although highly technical. The following trials were presented this year:
Emicizumab (ACE910)
Michael Callaghan from Roche presented data on the Phase 3 Studies being carried out with ACE910 as prophylaxis for adolescents and paediatric patients with Haemophilia A with Inhibitors. The treatment requires a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. The results of the studies shows a statistically significant reductions in bleed rate of 87% compared with on-demand treatment with Bypassing agents (FEIBA or Novo7). Adverse events occurred in 5% of more of the patients, and included injection site reactions, headache, fatigue, upper respiratory tract infection and arthralgia (joint stiffness). Serious adverse events of thromboembolic events (TE) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) – both are blood clots – occurred in two and three patients respectively.
These events were associated with the patients receiving repeated high doses of a BPA to treat a break-through bleed. Put simply, ACE910 worked so well that the blood clotted due to an overload of clotting factor.
Spark Therapeutics – Over-view of Gene Therapy for Haemophilia A and B
Marcus Carr presented on the gene therapy phase 1 and 2 trials being undertaken for both Haemophilia A and B. The inclusion criteria for patients to take part in the FIX trial were as follows:
Males over 18 with FIX levels less than 2%
More than 50 factor exposure days, with no history of inhibitor
No active HBV or HCV, liver fibrosis less than stage 2
Negative HIV viral load
Baseline treatment either on prophylaxis or on demand with more than 4 bleeding events
per year or arthropathy
The 15 participants were divided into three groups, with each group receiving a different level of dosage. The actual injection involved a one hour outpatient intravenous injection, followed by 52 weeks of monitoring and a long term extension study after this.
A known effect of the gene therapy is an immune response which is indicated by raised levels of ALT (alanine aminotransferase). Patients with this indication are treated with steroids. In past trials, the sustained elevation of FIX levels seems to have been negatively affected by the immune response, but there is indications that treating with steroids early can avoid the factor level drops.
The results of the FIX levels in the 8 patients who did not require steroids after 52 weeks are very encouraging – between 18% and 44%. The first 10 patients who were treated have shown a 96% reductions in the mean ABR.
The FVIII trial is also a Phase 1/2 study. As at August 2017 there are 3 patients on the trial. The FXIII levels as at that date range between 7% and 14%. This study will continue and we would expect to hear more about it and the data obtained in 2019.
BioMarin Pharmaceuticals – Gene Therapy trials
Benjamin Kim presented result of a Phase 1/2 Study which has been completed for their FVIII gene therapy. Nine patients were on the trial, with 6 receiving a low dose and 7 receiving a high dose. In both cohorts tests showed a sustained increased level of FXIII expression after up to 32 weeks of monitoring, ranging between 5% - 51% for the low dose trial. The mean FXIII levels of the 7 patients on the high dose trial after 52 weeks was 51%.
BioMarin are starting a Phase 3 trial in 2018.
uniQure Inc.
Eileen Sawyer presented the results of a Phase 1/2 gene therapy trial of 10 FIX patients, again divided into 2 groups of 5 and receiving different doses of the drug as follows:
All 10 patients in the study have demonstrated improvements in their disease state as measured by reduced FIX replacement therapy and bleeding frequency.
In the second-dose cohort, no spontaneous bleeds were reported in the last six months of follow-up, with a reduction in the annualized spontaneous bleed rate of 84% compared to the one-year period prior to administration of AMT-060. Total bleeds were reduced by
Eight of the nine patients that required chronic FIX infusions prior to administration of AMT-060 have discontinued prophylaxis after treatment. All eight patients remained prophylaxisfree at the last follow up.
Across both dose cohorts, cumulative annualized FIX consumption decreased by 79%, from 2.64 million to 544,741 IU.
Through up to 12 months of follow-up among the five patients in the second-dose cohort, the mean steady-state FIX activity persisted at approximately 7% of normal. The mean FIX activity at the last follow-up (52 weeks) was 8.82%, ranging from 5.2% to 10.7%.
AMT-060 continues to be well-tolerated, and there have been no severe adverse events.
In both dose cohorts, FIX activity remained consistent and stable through up to 18 months of follow-up with no emergence of late immune response or loss of FIX activity in any of the patients.
Three patients experienced mild, asymptomatic elevations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) soon after administration. For these patients, ALT levels returned to their baseline readings, no recurrence of ALT elevation has occurred, and no loss of FIX activity was observed.
No patients across either cohort have developed inhibitory antibodies against FIX, or demonstrated sustained AAV5 capsid-specific T-cell activation.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals
Pratima Chowdary presented on a Phase 2 extension study for Fitusiran. Fitusiran is an investigational, once-monthly, subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting antithrombin (AT) for the treatment of hemophilia A and B, with and without inhibitors. Fitusiran is designed to lower levels of AT with the goal of promoting sufficient thrombin generation to restore hemostasis and prevent bleeding. Fitusiran utilizes Alnylam's ESC-GalNAc conjugate technology, which enables subcutaneous dosing with increased potency and durability. This drug is novel in that instead of replacing the missing factor it depresses the enzymes which promote blood thinning. This trial has been put on hold after the death of a patient while on the trial. The cause of death was a cerebral haemorrhage.
The key "take home" messages from this meeting for me were the following:
Progress on dealing with inhibitors has been unremarkable but there is a will and intention to do more and better to solve this issue
ELT are providing patients with raised trough levels which provide protection against bleeds and overall improves Quality of Life
Emicizumab with its sub-cutaneous delivery and excellent elevation of FVIII levels shows that there is a new way of treating which transcends the level of care we currently receive
Gene therapy is coming soon – a poll of the room showed that the majority saw it as being available within 5 years.
These are incredible times. We need to be very be advocating to ensure these new therapies are available to our members in a timely fashion.

About 30 years ago, a woman found a huge ring while visiting a flea market in London. She picked it up and assumed it was a costume ring, so she bought it. And it never left her finger for all the years that followed. Then, one day, she had it appraised. She never could have imagined just how much that ring was going to alter her life forever.
Back in the 1980s, the London resident was rummaging through stuff at the West Middlesex Hospital's flea market, just west of the city. Most of the things were old, but not in the best of shape. However, one thing stuck out. It was a huge ring, and she wanted it the moment she laid eyes on it.
From that day forward, she wore the ring everywhere —whenever she went shopping, or when she was doing chores at home. She never regretted her purchase. After all, she bought it for about $13 (£10). And since it wasn't that expensive, she thought, if she lost it, she wouldn't cry over it. But for thirty years, she hadn't realized the ring's true value.
You can walk into most stores and buy jewelry that's real, or something that looks extremely real. So what if you bought a fake one? No one would have to know the truth, but what would happen if someone walked up to you someday, and told you that the ring on your finger wasn't fake?


Tater Tot Chicken Pot Pie because admit it…pie crust is boring. The whole family will love this spin on the traditional chicken pot pie recipe.
I've got something to admit…I don't really like pie crust. It's typically rather bland and tasteless, especially when compared to the filling.
Often times when used for things like chicken pot pie it ends up getting soggy (so I use puff pastry) and when used for a French silk pie it doesn't have a chance of competing with the chocolate.
So today I am sharing a recipe for a chicken pot pie that has tater tots in place of pie crust. The tater tots go on top of the chicken pot pie filling so that they get crispy in the oven.
To make this Tater Tot Chicken Pot Pie, I took several shortcuts. For the chicken, I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
For the veggies, I used a bag of frozen corn, carrots, peas and beans. I thawed them in the microwave for two minutes but didn't cook them fully.
For the cream of chicken soup, I used a can of Campbell's and the minced onion in the dried kind.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and put them in a baking dish. I used 10-inch cast iron skillet. Add mixed veggies, cream of chicken soup, minced onion, thyme, and fresh ground black pepper. Stir until combined and then spread the filling out evenly.
Cover the chicken pot pie filling with tater tots. I used the flat, circle shaped tater tots called crispy crowns or potato crowns.
Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes, until the tater tots are golden and the chicken pot pie filling is hot and bubbling.
You can garnish it with thyme, black pepper or even shredded cheese! The Tater Tot Chicken Pot Pie is a fun spin on the classic with the potatoes on top instead of stuffed inside. It's quick to assemble and a recipe the whole family can enjoy.
Add the chicken, veggies, soup, milk, onion, thyme, and pepper to a 10-inch round baking dish. Stir until combined. Spread out evenly.
I have a friend who is in a nursing home. I spend a few hours every Sunday with her and last Sunday she was watching a food show that made Tater Tot Chicken Pot Pie She raved about how good it looked so I decided to surprise her with some tomorrow, which is Sunday. I looked through many of the recipes and found your recipe to be the best looking and easiest and judging by the ingredients I'm sure it will be delicious!. Can't wait to try. Thank you.

India can reach the pinnacle: Rach
August 09, 2004 18:46 IST
Indian hockey team's coach Gerhard Rach said the team had the wherewithal to emerge as one of the top teams in the world by regaining Olympic glory.
"Like Brazil in soccer, India's place is at number one in hockey," Rach said after the team's arrival in Athens from Germany, where it attended a training-cum-competition programme.
The squad, led by Dilip Tirkey, had an air of confidence around them after completing the 21-day final phase training camp at the RTHC Sports complex at Leverkusen, near Dusseldorf, on Sunday.
During this camp, India played practice games with various German clubs, besides winning a three-match Test series against Ireland.
Rach said he was getting good support from all the players and support staff in the team, which he said was capable of winning the Olympic title.
"I have had wholehearted support from all the players and the coaching staff. This is a fine blend, capable of reaching the pinnacle," the 56-year-old Munich-born coach said.
Rach's assistant Oliver Kurtz, member of the gold medal winning team at the Barcelona Olympics, warned the opposition camps against taking the side lightly despite some unimpressive performance in recent times.
"Don't underestimate these fellows," he said.
Kurtz, who has been with the team since the training in Arizona, United States, added that the team hoped to peak in the competition after their final fine-tuning.
Frank Leictre, who is also here but will not be part of the Indian Olympic team, said he had given intense training to the two goalkeepers Devesh Chauhan and Adrian D'Souza.
"The focus was on technical aspects emphasising on body movements and corner rebounds apart from ample practice with the ball machines," he said.
In the Olympics, India have been pitted in Pool B which also includes holders Holland, Australia, Argentina, New Zealand and South Africa.

Pitt women's soccer sinks Navy 1-0 in overtime
The Panthers won on an Amanda West penalty kick after Leah Pais drew a call

The Pitt women's soccer team faced its tallest order of the 2020 season on Sunday, as it traveled to Annapolis, Maryland, to face a Navy team coming off a 16-3-3 campaign in 2019. The result was a 90-minute stalemate that would have to be resolved in overtime, and in that extra period, the Midshipmen would blink first, and the Panthers would come away with a 1-0 win and an unblemished 4-0 record.
As has become customary this season, Amanda West and Leah Pais both had a hand in Pitt's offensive production. Pais was taken down in the box by Navy defender Kaitlynn Johns and awarded a shot. West then took the shot, slotting it past Navy goalkeeper Molly Swigger to score the game-winning goal.

In between the posts for Pitt was Katherine Robinson, who recorded her second solo clean sheet in a row after helping Pitt to a 2-0 victory over Syracuse on Thursday. She split Pitt's two games against Appalachian State with Caitlyn Lazzarini. Robinson allowed zero goals in both of those games as well.
"Extremely proud of our team today," Pitt head coach Randy Waldrum said after the game. "To watch the growth of these players is a really a fun thing to see. I thought defensively we were very good today. Athalie Palomo, Hailey Davidson, Kate McKay and Mackenzie Edwards were very solid. Katherine Robinson was very confident in the goal as well."
"Navy is a very good team: NCAA tournament experienced and older than our young team," Waldrum continued. "So I'm very proud of the performance. I thought Leah Pais was really good in her holdup play today and did a great job on drawing the penalty kick. Amanda West was huge in stepping up under pressure to win it for us."
With the victory, the Panthers are off to their best start since 2009, which was the last time they opened the season with four consecutive wins. The Panthers are also one game away from matching their 2019 win total.
In addition, West's game-winning goal saw her once again climb the program leaderboard in career goals and points. She now has 14 goals and 40 points, both of which rank sixth in the Pitt women's soccer program's 24-year history.
The Panthers will return to the pitch on Thursday to take on the Citadel at Washington Light Infantry Field in Charleston, South Carolina. The match will be the first in a two-game series with a team that went 6-11-2 in 2019 and is off to a 1-0-1 start this year. Kickoff from Charleston is set for 4 p.m. ET.
