| Never-say-die Niwot advances
After legendary coach Bob Bote left the program following 28 seasons running the team and five state championships, it was natural for outsiders and rivals to question whether the Cougars would still have the skills and swagger necessary to keep the tradition going. Jason Lathrop's team had all the answers on an improbable Saturday at Butch Butler Field in which Niwot: Committed eight errors and was one strike away (twice) from having the season end before beating Liberty 6-5 in 10 innings. Ate lunch while watching the well-rested Mustangs take infield before beating Ralston Valley 11-6 in the afternoon game. The Cougars (15-9) — the No. 21 seed entering the District 4 Tournament, where they upset Pueblo South and Skyline — will play Thomas Jefferson on Friday at All-Star Park in Lakewood with a trip to the Class 4A state championship game on the line.

GE chief lays out plans for emerging-market expansion
NEW DELHI: Pressure to raise General Electric's share price at home in the United States has not dampened Jeffrey Immelt's plans for emerging-market expansion. On Thursday, Immelt, GE's chairman and chief executive, told executives in New Delhi that India has "never offered us more potential than it does today." GE's plans to participate in the country's "massive focus" on energy will include creating a fund for infrastructure that could reach $1 billion, he said. GE also hopes to start exporting technology from India to the rest of the world. "This is the era of the developing world, and of emerging markets," Immelt said. As the U.S. economy cools, GE and other large multinational companies are shifting their focus to faster-growth parts of the world.
