Gemmell once again shone at the top position, winning in three straight sets against Pamela Hathway, 11-6, 11-6, 11-7. The rookie has been reliable thus far, winning all of her matches with relative ease...
...offender. The state had already been the first to enact residency rules for convicted predators, barring them in 1995 from living within 1,000 feet of schools, playgrounds and other children's sites.

"We tried to get into the facility this summer for training, but they were charging an insane amount of money to let us skate there every day," wrote Apolo Ohno, the U.S. short-track speed skater and five-time Olympic medalist...
