Historian Col. John Maietta, retired, will present the program, "The Amazing History of Ordinary Things," from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 29 in the Lowry Room of the third floor of the Welch Family Wing at the James V. Brown Library.
The talk will highlight the fascinating stories behind 20 ordinary items - from aspirin to the zipper.
Participants will learn about the first matches, more hazardous than the cigarettes they lit; the table fork, once considered a shocking novelty; Kleenex tissues, inspired by the battlefield medical needs of World War I; and Scotch tape, honored as a "humble masterpiece" by the Museum of Modern Art and listed by the Encyclopedia Britannica as one of the greatest inventions of all time.
A Williamsport native and Bucknell graduate, Maietta has been a fan of history his entire life. For many years, he operated a public relations and photography business in the Harrisburg area, while simultaneously serving as a public affairs officer with the Pennsylvania National Guard. Starting in 2002, he volunteered for numerous active-duty assignments with the Army, in Washington, D.C., Europe and Iraq.
Now retired from both the military and business professions, he is pursuing a master's degree in applied history at Shippensburg University.
The program is free and open to the public. Registration is suggested but not required.
The program is part of the statewide literacy initiative of PA Forward, helping libraries build communities one person at a time.

Bad Beta, Good Beta
Article Citation
Campbell, John Y., and
Tuomo Vuolteenaho. 2004. "Bad Beta, Good Beta."
American Economic Review,
94(5): 1249-1275.
This paper explains the size and value "anomalies" in stock returns using an economically motivated two-beta model. We break the beta of a stock with the market portfolio into two components, one reflecting news about the market's future cash flows and one reflecting news about the market's discount rates. Intertemporal asset pricing theory suggests that the former should have a higher price of risk; thus beta, like cholesterol, comes in "bad" and "good" varieties. Empirically, we find that value stocks and small stocks have considerably higher cash-flow betas than growth stocks and large stocks, and this can explain their higher average returns. The poor performance of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) since 1963 is explained by the fact that growth stocks and high-past-beta stocks have predominantly good betas with low risk prices.

Mississippi teen pregnancy rate highest in U.S.: CDC
- Tweet
- Share this
ATLANTA (Reuters) - Mississippi has the highest teen birthrate in the nation while New Hampshire has the lowest, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday, following up on a report that found the incidence of pregnancy among U.S. teens was falling.
Mississippi reported 55 births per 1,000 teens aged 15 to 19 in 2010, more than 60 percent above the U.S. average, according to state data released on Tuesday. New Hampshire's rate was less half the national average at 15.7 births for the same age group.
Teen birth rates were higher in the South and Southwest and lower in the Northeast and Upper Midwest, the CDC said, noting that Hispanics and blacks had the highest teen birth rates.
Last fall the CDC reported that the U.S. teen birth rate dropped 9 percent from 2009 to 2010, reaching a historic low of 34.3 births per 1,000 teens aged 15 to 19. It attributed the drop to several factors, including strong pregnancy-prevention messages aimed at teens and increased use of contraception.
From 2007 to 2010, the rates fell at least 8 percent in 47 states and the District of Columbia. In 16 states, declines ranged from 20 percent to 29 percent. Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia were the only states showing little decline.
"In spite of these declines, the U.S. teen birth rate remains one of the highest among other industrialized countries," the CDC said.
(Reporting By David Beasley; Editing by Paul Simao)
Mississippi is largely black at 37% black (more than any other state), and New Hampshire is almost entirely white, with 1% blacks.
What is the racial break down of the numbers? Reporting would be so much more realistic and meaningful and useful, if you anticipated a these common sense questions, and wrote the articles including the answers.
It would also of course keep the ignorant from going off about "Southerners" (by which they mean white southerners), the "bible belt", etc. I think that explains why these articles are reported as they are.

Microsoft's Loan to Dell Certain to Trigger More OEM Angst, Say Analysts
Microsoft's $2 billion loan to Dell, one of its largest computer-making partners, will have an impact on how other OEMs view their Windows ecosystem collaborator, analysts said today.
Tue, February 05, 2013
The extent of that impact, however, is unclear to the experts, although they are certain it will do something to the relationships Microsoft has with others.
Dell Goes Private, Bought By Michael Dell and Silver Lake
"This has to strengthen the relationship between Microsoft and Dell," said Michael Cherry of Directions on Microsoft. "If you and I were OEMs, we might have thought that we played in a moderately-level playing field. But after Microsoft said, 'Guess what, we're an OEM, too,' it would only be human nature to think that 'There's us and everyone else, and then there's the Surface guys ahead of us.' Now there's Dell in front of us, and in front of them is Surface."
Cherry was referring to Microsoft's surprise announcement last summer that it would take the unprecedented move of becoming an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) to design, build and sell a pair of Surface tablets. The first, the Surface RT, debuted last October; the Intel-powered Surface Pro goes on sale Saturday.
"I feel that any kind of assurance to the contrary, that this has got to weigh in everyone's mind," said Cherry. "It changes things."
Not as much as it would had Microsoft done a different kind of deal with Dell, said other analysts.
"The fact that it's a loan distances Microsoft from Dell a bit, so the OEMs should be better with this than if Microsoft took an equity stake," said Michael Silver of Gartner, in an email.
For its part, Microsoft was closed-mouthed about any details of the deal, acknowledging only that it had provided a $2 billion loan to the group that proposes to take Dell private.
"Microsoft is committed to the long term success of the entire PC ecosystem and invests heavily in a variety of ways to build that ecosystem for the future," the company said in a statement Tuesday. "We're in an industry that is constantly evolving. As always, we will continue to look for opportunities to support partners who are committed to innovating and driving business for their devices and services built on the Microsoft platform."
Allan Krans, an analyst with Technology Business Associates, agreed with the "constantly evolving" concept.
"The top tier of OEMs is in a period of realignment," said Krans. "They're in flux and need a lot of help. And Microsoft has the deepest pockets of anyone in the ecosystem, and they needed to take more of a leadership role. Someone needed to come in and make sure that there's stability there."

I was a little surprised when I rec'd these bridge pins. The workmanship on these little jewels is flawless. They are truly little works of art. I didn't swap them out on my acoustic guitar for a few days because I just kept looking at them. They are beautiful.
Replaced the stock bridge pins on an old Ibanez PF-10 acoustic. They keep the strings snug. Tone seems fuller than with the stock plastic pins.
1936 0-17M Martin: a mixture of bridge pins when I bought it..... ok lets get it back to original !!!!!! Being over here in England there is not the same amount of information about vintage guitars however thanks to the Bay Area Vintage Guitar Forum they put me onto Rob. He was very helpful but couldn't manufacture the pins. He said they were size 5 ebony un-slotted pins and recommended StewMac. I was amazed I ordered them on the Wednesday and had them in my hands on Saturday. Perfect fit and restoring "Susie" to full glory Thanks Guys
The pins that I was using were a bit loose for my preference. These fit perfectly. Nice & snug but not too tight. One thing for sure. Whenever I do a repair or mod, I always find what I need here.
We have used these bridge pens on new and on vintage instruments and have found them to be excellent.
I love the look of them and the sound of them. These are well made. I might have made them less shiny to better differentiate them from plastic, but they are very nice.
Beautiful pins. Nicely made and priced. I would buy again.
I had to buy more until I found the appropriate size for my 12 string guitar
I have an Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-500M acoustic guitar that came with plastic bridge pins and I was looking for an upgrade. These pins are well made and fit perfectly. Very happy with my purchase.
I have used these pins on 30 guitars. They are great. There are minor size variations so each pin stays in the same hole after fitting. I scribe little marks on the shaft with a nut file ti ID them.

Clayton News Daily
MORROW The First Lego League Super Regional Qualifier will return to the campus of Clayton State University Jan. 12.
Specifically, the College of Information and Mathematical Sciences will once again be hosting the First Lego League Super Regional Qualifier in the James M. Baker University Center, largely on Main Street and the Commons Area.
The event will run from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., with Jarrett Terry, CIMS assistant dean for Undergraduate Advisement and Student Services, heading up the organization of the event.
The competitions during the day will take place from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m., and from 12:50 p.m. until 3 p.m., with the presentation of awards from 3:50 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Lego League is an international program that encourages hands-on robotic activities and designed to get children excited about science and technology.
Each team is allowed a coach and maximum of 10 players between the ages of 9 and 14. Teams have 8 weeks from September to analyze their problem, design, program and test an autonomous robot to complete the project.
The competition also requires teams to complete a research project relevant to the project's theme.
"We've hosted First Lego League competitions here I think twice previously," said Clayton State University spokesman John Shiffert. "Other than the fact that the Baker Center is a great venue for a competition like this, and it's a really neat event, it's amazing what these kids can come up with."
"It's a win-win for both Clayton State and the participants in that it exposes the kids to a university setting, specifically in the STEM area - which you have to figure they're interested in, in the first place - and it brings a large number of bright potential college students to the Clayton State campus," added Shiffert.

This is excellent, makes a lot, and keeps well. Be sure to follow the directions. I had it go sugary on me once and I believe it was because I tried to mix the water in too fast. Number of servings is difficult to decide - it has so many uses and sometimes I put a tablespoon over ice cream and sometimes I use a cup or more for recipes calling for caramel sauce. But since Zaar makes me pick a number I picked 48.

REASON NUMBER FIVE: The 15-Year Paradigm
Every working mother suffers from too much stress and too little time, and most of us have days when we feel as if we just can't take it any more. Some women respond by quitting work to become stay-at-home mothers -- a choice that may seem sensible in the short run, but that is likely to result in serious problems as time goes on.
Leslie Bennetts is a veteran journalist and the author of the national best-seller, The Feminine Mistake: Are We Giving Up Too Much? Her book was named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post and is now out in paperback. Widely hailed as a must-read for women of all ages, this controversial book documents the benefits of work and the risks of economic dependency for women who give up their jobs to become full-time homemakers. She is a long time Vanity Fair magazine writer and is a mother of two teenagers.

(Our Local Time: 9:29:36 pm )
Multi-Pak (Two species Packaged together) 16oz
Code: P2-MULTIPK16
Price: $19.49
�Two species of Phytoplankton to creat a complete nutritional profile.
�Available as Nanno/Iso packs
�High in both DHA and EPA
�Bottled seperately to prevent the build up of toxins from
interspecies warfare.
Phyto2 Phytoplankton is a pure species of plankton suspended in purified sterile seawater.
In order appreciate what this means we must first understand how Phytoplankton competes in the ocean. When Phytoplankton encounters other species of Phytoplankton, it reacts by releasing poisons to kill the other species which in turn kills itself. When you concentrate and combine different species of Phytoplankton in a closed container it competes and at some point poisons the bottle, not only limiting shelf life but reducing nutritional value.
Why not freeze dried, spray dried, or frozen Phytoplankton?
Freeze dried and other preserved products are basically dead Phytoplankton. This means if they are not ingested immediately after feeding them to the aquarium they will rot away liberating organic like phosphate and nitrogen, essentially polluting your tank. Live Phytoplankton stays alive until eaten and actually cleans your water through Photosynthesis.
Benefits of LIVE Phytoplankton include:
�No worries about dead product decomposing in the tank.
�Uneaten product actually works to CLEAN aquarium water.
�Closely matches what animals would eat in the ocean.
�Great for keeping fry tanks clean and co-cultured food enriched.
Why Choose Phyto2? Who Manufactures It?
Phyto2 Phytoplankton is produced by marine biology professionals specifically for the home aquarium. We have taken into consideration the needs of the average home aquarist and produced a product that will provide the longest shelf life at the highest nutritional value for the most reasonable price. Keeping this in mind we are constantly refining our processes to create better and more convenient products. It is our goal to bring you the best quality live planktonic foods at the best prices so you can enjoy your hobby.Other Phytoplankton producers would like to intimidate the laymen with vague threats of unexplainable tank crashes and unexplained terms like cleaning or washing.
Phyto2 is cultured in Sterile nutrient rich seawater. It is grown out to the point where it is at its highest nutritional value and the seawater contains the least amount of nutrients. As such our harvest is already a "clean" Phytoplankton. Next the product is allowed to settle and as much culture water is removed as possible and replaced with Sterile seawater. This eliminates the probability that fertilized culture water can foul your aquarium.
What Is Phytoplankton & what does it mean to your aquarium?
Phytoplankton is a free-floating, microscopic plankton that exists naturally in the oceans, lakes, and rivers of the world. Phytoplankton, which are the bottom of the food chain, make up the primary food source for marine corals, claims, and filter feeding invertabrates
What does this mean to you?
In a closed system, such as a home aquarium, food sources are limited to what is added to the tank. Considering the needs of the various life kept in the system, a regular source of food must be added to mimic the constant availability of food in the ocean.

2012 OCT 1 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at AIDS Weekly -- Data detailed on Immune System Diseases and Conditions have been presented. According to news reporting originating from Bethesda, Maryland, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "To evaluate the change in categories of risk of death by adding D-dimer to conventional mortality risk factors. Cohort study. Data on HIV-infected participants receiving standard combination antiretroviral therapy in two clinical trials (Evaluation of Subcutaneous Proleukin in a Randomized International Trial and Strategic Management of antiretroviral therapy), who had baseline D-dimer measured, were randomly split into two equal training and a validation clatasets." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the National Institutes of Health, "A multivariable survival model was built using the training dataset and included only conventional mortality risk factors measured at baseline. D-dimer was added to create the comparison model. The level of reclassification of mortality risk, for those with at least 5-years of follow-up, was then assessed by tabulating mortality risk defined as low (<= 2% predicted rate), moderate (2-5%) or high (>5%). Reclassification analyses were then repeated on the validation dataset. The analysis population at baseline had a mean age of 43 years, median CD4(+) cell count of 535 cells/mu l (IQR: 420-712), and 83% had HIV RNA of at least 500 copies/ml. In the training dataset (n = 1946, 8939 person-years), there were 83 deaths at a rate of 0.93 per 100 person-years. Addition of D-dimer to the reference model resulted in 6% or fewer (P > 0.05) being correctly reassigned, either up or down, to a new risk category, in both, training and validation clatasets. The integrated discrimination improvement in training and validation datasets was 0.60% (P = 0.084) and 0.45% (P = 0.168), respectively. In this relatively well population, at the given risk cutoffs, D-dimer appeared to only modestly improve the discernment of risk." According to the news editors, the researchers concluded: "Risk reclassification provides a method for assessing the clinical utility of biomarkers in HIV cohort studies." For more information on this research see: Reclassification of risk of death with the knowledge of D-dimer in a cohort of treated HIV-infected individuals. Aids, 2012;26(13):1707-1717.

"The workplace 100 years ago was a farm, and you probably did not need any healthier lifestyle changes. Today it's a desk and a computer," she said.
She said human bodies are hardwired to enjoy fatty, sugary foods but, at the same time, people typically do not miss those foods if only healthy options are presented.
"We're hardwired in many people to like fried chicken better than baked chicken. But we also know, when you're hungry, you will eat and it will taste good."
The guidelines memo also included sample menus, suggesting turkey chili with crackers and fresh fruit for lunch, or a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with low-fat cheese, lettuce and tomato with a side of potato or pasta salad made in a light dressing.
A sample dinner menu could include spaghetti and meatballs, but with whole grain or low-carbohydrate pasta, tomato sauce and whole grain rolls.
Although the switch from sugary soda was not a hard sell, Frazer said there has been some pushback from employees over the healthy food requirements.
"There was the thought that everything had to be baked rather than fried. I think there was a momentary questioning of, does this mean we have to give up fried chicken?" she said.
No, Frazer said, it does not mean anyone has to give up fried chicken. It just means that grilled chicken, salmon or a healthy sandwich also will be available.

Our Nevada travels have taken us from Boundary Peak to Wheeler Peak, and everywhere in between.
Photo: Charlie Johnston (left) and Matthew B. Brown (right) pose in the Black Rock Desert.
The escapades of Editor Matthew B. Brown and Associate Editor Charlie Johnston have been well documented in the pages of Nevada Magazine. As 2010 comes to an end, the editorial duo reflects on their many Silver State sojourns. We like to think of it as a less (or more?) dysfunctional, purely Nevada version of the John Candy/Steve Martin classic "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"—and ATVs, and helicopters, and horses, and—you get the point.
BY CHARLIE JOHNSTONAs Editor Matthew B. Brown and I approach the 13,000-foot-mark en route to the summit of Nevada's second-highest mountain (Wheeler Peak), we notice a distinct crackling, buzzing sound. It's identical to the hum emitted by overburdened power lines.
But we are atop one of the most remote points in the continental United States—about as far as you can get from a setting that would facilitate such a noise. We pause in the swirling wind and snow to figure out what is going on.
I roll up my sleeve to give the altimeter a look and watch as my arm hairs stand on end. Matt removes his knit cap and his hair too bolts upright. We have walked, literally, into a thundercloud. While we consider the consequences of continuing and possibly becoming human lightning rods, a grinning German tourist no younger than 70 comes ambling out of the clouds on his descent from the summit. Our decision is essentially made for us.
As we continue, the crackling and static electricity subside, and we reach the crest as the weather abates and reveals stunning views of the Snake Range and Spring Valley more than 7,000 feet below. As I dig into my pack to extract a camera I am reminded that this is no vacation, it's just another day in the office at Nevada Magazine.
After college I did like so many recent graduates before me and ignored four-plus years of expensive education to gallivant around the world. My wandering feet landed me in Australia with a little money and the idea that I would find odd jobs to support my travels for as long as I wanted.
Then came the e-mail.
Some changes at Nevada Magazine—where I had interned during my senior year at the University of Nevada, Reno—resulted in the opening of the position of associate editor, and they wanted me to fill it. Sensing hard times on the horizon, I could not pass up such an opportunity. So, three months into my grand adventure I was on my way back to Nevada. But I had no intentions of letting the adventure end.
I knew that Matt (formerly the associate editor), whom I had worked with during my internship, was just as anxious to feature exciting, off-the-beaten-path activities and destinations in the magazine as I was. In short order we carved out a niche that would allow us to explore every nook and cranny of Nevada—from remote mountain-tops to questionable bars, Matt and I quickly became an unstoppable Nevada-exploring team. "You guys are sure having fun," former publisher and editor Joyce Hollister recently mused. Is she ever right.
Our blustery adventure to the top of 13,063-foot Wheeler Peak is only the tip of the iceberg. During that four-day trip to Great Basin National Park we also met a cross-Nevada cyclist, explored Lehman Caves, searched in deep snow for Bristlecone Pines, hiked to Lexington Arch, and enjoyed one of the best pizzas in the state at Ely's Hotel Nevada.
A brief look through the last few years of Nevada Magazine reveals the great variety of our journeys.
A solo July 2008 trip started my magazine adventures in grand fashion. An avid backpacker, I spent months pestering coworkers to permit a story on the subject until everyone was coerced into agreement. My first stop was the Toiyabe Crest Trail in central Nevada, an epic 72-mile odyssey along a sometimes-nonexistent route in some of Nevada's most remote wilderness. Traveling light and alone I made excellent time, covering the distance in three and a half days, including a waterless stretch of nearly 25 miles.
After completing the crest I made camp along the North Twin River before an early morning hitchhike back to my truck at the trail's north end (while my ride was pleasant, I must take this opportunity to point out that hitchhiking is a potentially dangerous means of travel, even in the friendly expanses of rural Nevada). After some well-deserved rest in Tonopah, my next stop was the Extraterrestrial Highway and Rachel. The handful of locals welcomed me as though I were an old friend as we explored the desert, peeked into Area 51, and enjoyed a fun evening at the Little A'Le'Inn. Despite the blistering July heat, I found it hard to leave their hospitality when the two-day visit was up.
A longer-than-anticipated drive up U.S. Highway 93 took me to Elko and the foot of the Ruby Mountains, where my next backpacking excursion, the 37-mile Ruby Crest National Recreation Trail, waited. Every step of the well-marked trail increased my excitement, as some of Nevada's most beautiful, pristine wilderness unfolded before me. The end of the trail marked the end of my trip, and after another pleasant hitch back to my truck, I returned home.
That first trip set the tone for all to come: excitement and variety. Later that summer, I was invited to attend Burning Man, and since the magazine was short on photos of the annual counterculture/arts festival and considering a future story, I was sent on assignment—it's a tough job, but someone has to do it. The trip was inspiring and thought-provoking and produced some of the most exceptional photos I have ever captured. I have been making the annual pilgrimage ever since.
Sometime near the end of 2008, Matt and I decided a feature on modern mining in Nevada would be a good fit for the magazine. Some interviews and industry photos would have sufficed, but that really isn't our style. So in January 2009, we found ourselves in a cramped elevator descending thousands of feet into the earth's crust.
A day at Nevada's biggest gold mine, Barrick Gold Corporation's Goldstrike, gave us a deep appreciation for the laborious work that goes into the production of gold, and the conditions gave us an ever greater appreciation for our comfortable offices. Since no January trip to Elko would be complete without a visit to the town's annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering (January 24-29, 2011), we finished our excursion with a handful of performances and a few obligatory Picon Punches.
By the following spring, our vision for Nevada Magazine was clear: to give readers an experience and encourage them to get out and explore the state as we were doing. To that end, I arranged a spot on the annual Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive. The 100-mile, five-day drive kicks off a week of rodeo festivities in The Biggest Little City and is—without question—one of the most unique, exciting vacations to be had in the Silver State. The days and nights spent on the trail with the herd and among the cowboys and other tourists rank among some of my fondest memories, work or otherwise. Before the drive, my equine experience was limited to basically sitting in a saddle as a child and occasionally feeding a friend's horses in college. With the help of the wranglers, my horse, Sarge, and the 300 or so cattle, I could have almost passed for a real cowboy when we came riding into Reno on the final day of the drive.
Our numerous trips through Nevada have helped boost in Matt and me an already-developing passion for photography, so much so that shortly following my arrival at Nevada Magazine we became the default staff photographers. While some photo assignments aren't as lengthy as those above or various camping trips to places such as Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, they have provided many great memories. Among our assignments have been the residents of Reno's Riverside Artist Lofts, the Triple-A Reno Aces baseball stadium, the wares of homegrown clothing company Reno eNVy, Las Vegas mega-resorts, ancient American Indian petroglyphs, state parks, historic buildings, tattoos, military bases, delectable foods of practically every description and taste, ghost towns, and countless others. From the hour-long shoots to full-day photo tours, each has—like the weeklong adventures—given us a broader perspective on our subjects and the state as a whole.
These are only a sampling of the adventures we have had during our time with Nevada Magazine. Whether it's ATV off-roading, piloting engineless glider planes, riding hot air balloons, myriad running events, whitewater rafting, snowboarding, or snowmobiling, there is barely an activity we have not enjoyed in the Silver State. And as far as we're concerned, the adventure has only just begun.
More than anything, our travels and vision for Nevada Magazine remind me almost daily that our jobs, like our lives, are what we make of them. In the words of perhaps the greatest writer to ever call Nevada home, Mark Twain: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Although harbors and sails are in short supply in the Silver State, I like to think he had the right idea.
BY MATTHEW B. BROWNTwo stories that have stuck with me during my tenure at Nevada Magazine are the "1908 Great Race" (May/June 2008) and "A Distinguished Drive" (July/August 2009). Both celebrated centennials of famous automobile expeditions across America. For both drivers (George Schuster and his American team won the New York to Paris auto race in 1908, and Alice Ramsey was the first woman to drive across the United States a year later), Nevada represented a sometimes lonely, yet always exciting, part of the voyage.
More than a century later, not a lot has changed. The roads are better, and our vehicles travel faster and more efficiently, but the feeling of traveling Nevada's open roads is much the same—the stretches of isolation seem only to elevate the impending adventure.
Following are my top 10 Nevada travel moments.
10. Western Hospitality
As a writer, I've met famous athletes, big-name entertainers, and prominent politicians, but one of my favorite interviews took place in Eddie Brooks' Spring Creek home in 2007. Brooks, a saddle maker who has done work for the likes of President Lyndon B. Johnson and country singer Charlie Daniels, couldn't be more representative of the western lifestyle you'll find across rural Nevada. Brooks and his wife welcomed me into their home and proceeded to talk about Brooks' 50-plus years of saddle making, his competitive rodeo days, and his childhood in Fort Worth, Texas, growing up on a ranch and learning from a local leather carver. Interviewing Brooks in his humble, home shop almost made me forget he is truly a master of his art—at the time, he had just sold a saddle for nearly $7,000.
9. Killer Golf Balls
As a journalist, you can find yourself in some pretty awkward situations. Most of the time it's because you've been invited to partake in an activity with which you have little or no experience. Case in point: golf and Charlie Johnston. As part of our Tour Around Nevada, we visited Mesquite in April 2010. The southeastern Nevada city is well known for its spectacular year-round golf. CasaBlanca Resort General Manager Marty Rapson—even after my warnings—took her chances with us on the fairways and greens of the resort's sister course. I can't remember whether it was hole number one or two, but Charlie treated a chip shot more like drive, and the ball nearly struck Marty as she stood near the green. I think we made it nine holes before we all agreed that Charlie and I probably were better at eating steak dinners and lounging by the pool.
8. Hawthorne Army Depot
One of the great things about this job is we get to live vicariously through so many fascinating people and their careers. A prime example of that was our February 2010 tour of Hawthorne Army Depot in western Nevada. While they weren't about to let us test the latest in U.S. rocket-launching technology, we did get a comprehensive overview of the various activities that occur at HWAD (Hawthorne Will Always Deliver). The itinerary included a look at the WADF (Western Area Demilitarization Facility) site and a bird's-eye view of the terrain that has been used to train troops being deployed to Afghanistan. But the most interesting part of the day was our visit to "mini-Kabul," the depot's simulation of a typical Afghanistan city/town. It was surreal to be among these training grounds at their most peaceful, and imagine a day later them buzzing with war-bound soldiers.
7. ATVing in Elko
I was first thrust into true-blue rural Nevada as associate editor in June 2007. I received an invite from the Elko Convention and Visitors Authority to participate in an introduction of the "Gem of Nevada Trails System" in northeastern Nevada. The event marked my first time riding an ATV, as we traversed the Merritt Mountain area north of Wild Horse State Recreation Area. The highlight of that day was a Dutch-oven cooking demonstration that included a lasagna lunch and chocolate cake for dessert. The next day we were passengers, as I and another magazine employee embarked on a Jeep excursion that took us from the "living ghost town" of Tuscarora to Jacks Peak in the Independence Mountains. The journey also included a risky river crossing, a grove of aspens with Basque tree carvings, and an intriguing outdoor art exhibit called The Auto Parts Gang—a conglomeration of cowboy and Indian characters made from scrap auto parts.

6. Hot August…Valley of Fire
After visiting Valley of Fire State Park for the first time, Charlie and I each asked the same question, almost in unison: Why is this not a national park? We were amazed, to say the least. We didn't care that it was August and 115 degrees. Whether it was the remnants of "The Professionals" movie set, the rock art at Atlatl Rock or Petroglyph Canyon Trail, or the White Domes Loop trail, we were going to see everything or die (of heat stroke) trying. It's worth noting that Valley of Fire's striking contrast of red and white sandstone can be thoroughly enjoyed without getting out of the car. As you come into the park from the west, the winding road teases you as you get mini previews of "fire." Then, suddenly, you're looking at miles of beautiful, burnt-orange land.
5. Tales From the Rim Trail
At mile five, I felt great. Mile 10, I was feeling the burn. Mile 15, I nearly gave up. Mile 20, my feet were hamburger. Such is the torturous tale of an inexperienced backpacker on the Tahoe Rim Trail—36 miles in two days on the Nevada side of the famed trail that circumambulates Lake Tahoe. I learned the hard way that quality footwear is a hiking necessity, but my favorite memory from the summer 2008 hike came courtesy of man's best friend(s). We had brought our two dogs, Riley and Riley. After the 20-mile first day, the two still had the energy to play-wrestle, while I struggled to walk due to the intense pain. Unfortunately, we lost one Riley not long after the backpacking trip, but his (and my Riley's) endless energy at the end of that first day will always be an inspiration to me.
4. Lost in Sheldon
We're lost. It's one of the most painful truths for grown men to accept, but that was the reality for Charlie and me during our October 2009 visit to Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Nevada. We're still not sure how we got off course, but the moral of the story is that remote Nevada should never be underestimated—even with a detailed map in your possession. After spending the night somewhere near the southern end of the Refuge, we eventually got on track and explored Virgin Valley Ranch, Virgin Valley Campground, and Thousand Creek Gorge. The highlight of our trip was the gorge, a nearly five-mile-long massive gash in the earth located in the northeastern section of the refuge. While vehicle access to the gorge is easy, hiking within it is anything but. The payoff, however, is the scenery—around every bend is a magnificent mix of creek, brush, and rock magnified by the towering gorge.
3. Flying Over Hoover Dam
I've never flown in a helicopter. I've never seen Hoover Dam. And I've never gazed upon Lake Mead. It was the perfect recipe for my 15-minute Hoover Dam Helicopter Tour, courtesy of Looktours and Stars and Stripes Air Tours, in February 2010. Beyond the amazement of seeing Hoover Dam for the first time—all the more impressive from a bird's-eye view—I found the construction of the new Hoover Dam Bypass/bridge equally astonishing. From the sky, the Colorado River is strikingly green due to the lime in the surrounding rocks, according to Curtis Cornelius, a commercial helicopter pilot for 43 years.
2. Flattened at Great Basin
One of the great things about Great Basin National Park is you won't find the huge crowds and congested roads you may encounter in some of America's other national parks. The road to Lexington Arch, an impressive rock feature in the southern end of the park, takes remote to another level entirely. The isolation is a treat to tourists—that is, until you get a flat tire. Charlie and I joked that the source of our misfortune on this May 2009 day was a hiker who, while trying to take a shortcut on the Lexington Arch Trail, was scolded by Charlie for going off the beaten path. Nevertheless, we managed to get the flat changed just before a rainstorm hit the area. The flat-tire memory sticks out, but climbing Wheeler Peak, touring Lehman Caves, and an unsuccessful snowshoe to the park's Bristlecone pine grove were also part of the trip.
1. Summiting Boundary Peak
Climbing Boundary Peak is more about the journey than the thrill of victory. Sure, it's nice to reach the summit, but there's only so much you can do on a rocky space that's roughly the size of a small living room—but feel relief. Upon reaching the Silver State's pinnacle, I laid down for a few minutes to catch my breath and get some reprieve from the furious winds that were blowing on this winter day, January 17, 2009. It's the highest elevation I've been, which is appropriate seen as how Boundary Peak is Nevada's highest point (13,141). This is my favorite Nevada adventure thus far, and the fact that we did it in the middle of winter made it all the more challenging.
As we look ahead to 2011, we're already plotting our next Nevada adventures. Jerry Reed said it best: "We've got a long ways to go and a short time to get there."
Great article! I'm excited about exploring all of Nevada that I can, since I just moved here from the Midwest. Can't wait to read more about this wonderful state I now live in!
Charlie — what a great article. I'm new to the publication and really appreciate a chance to go back through all your favorites. To you and Matt — clearly your energy together is exceptional. The magazine looks great and the stories are wonderful. I talked to Matt a couple of weeks back on a possible lead, and I meant what I said when I told him that Nevada Magazine's editorial team has a very special kind of talent. Rock on gentlemen!
This is legendary. You guys just dropped me in awestruck jealously. I want in. I'll write some mad story about covering the perimeter of Nevada on horseback or something. Maybe something on Las Vegas or Austin. You may expect to hear from me upon my return. Salud gentleman! Well done.
