It was a season best for Pilchard for the 1,000 free and she had a great training trip. She was injured at the beginning of the week so we weren't even sure if she would end up swimming the meet.

It was a heck of a dual meet. It was an incredibly close meet, but that doesn't give justice to how close it really was.

It's exploiting all of their vulnerabilities: wanting to fit in, wanting to be important. It's promoting the idea that a girl's relationship with a company makes her cool.

Most ballot initiatives are required to spell out the issue for voters in the title. Not this one. Rather than asking voters if they want to extend term limits from 8 to 12 years, the title of this measure reads simply 'Term Limits.'

It is surprising what a man can do when he has to, and how little most men will do when they don't have to.

We're still not getting clutch hits. That's been our Achilles' heel all year.
