Morning Tailgate: NFC West OutlookPosted by on July 19, 2013 – 11:05 AM
The wait for 49ers football is almost over.
As of Friday morning, the rookies have reported for training camp. The veterans will make their way in town next week.
But before the grind of camp begins on Thursday, July 24, the biggest question surrounding all four teams in the NFC West was examined by Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com.
For the 49ers, finding a No. 2 wideout to start opposite of Anquan Boldin stands as the biggest storyline to track according to the NFL scribe.
In addition to wide receiver, intense competitions are set to take place at nose tackle and free safety. Camp is right around the corner, but for now, previewing the depth of the various position groups seems to be the common thread in today's Morning Tailgate.

MT: Bowman Hosts Football CampPosted by on July 1, 2013 – 9:34 AM
All-Pro linebacker NaVorro Bowman hosted his first annual football camp last week. He also did it with a little help from his friends.
San Francisco 49ers teammates Patrick Willis, Vernon Davis and Anthony Dixon all joined Bowman to teach football fundamentals to children in Bowman's hometown of District Heights, Md.
Bowman shared photos and videos from the event on his social media accounts.
Today's Morning Tailgate features some of the top 49ers-related headlines to close out the month of June.

MT: 49ers Minicamp PreviewPosted by on June 10, 2013 – 9:53 AM
Starting Tuesday, the San Francisco 49ers 90-man roster will get together for three days this week for a mandatory minicamp. The three practice sessions will conclude the 2013 offseason program.
The mandatory minicamp will be open all three days for the media to learn more about the progress being made by the defending NFC Champs.
Numerous storylines will be examined.
In the passing game, the 49ers will look to identify emerging performers to showcase in 2013.
Which wide receiver is stepping up to start opposite of Anquan Boldin? Will Vernon Davis and Vance McDonald be utilized more in the passing game to account for the loss of Michael Crabtree?
How is Colin Kaepernick developing as the team's full-time starting quarterback? Will Colt McCoy continue to solidify himself as the No. 2 signal-caller? How will Scott Tolzien and B.J. Daniels perform with their opportunities?
Then there are questions to be resolved with the team's newcomers.
Which rookie has made the biggest leap in a short time this offseason? Will Eric Reid insert himself into the conversation to start Week 1? How is undrafted defensive lineman Lawrence Okoye performing in his first offseason playing football in his entire life?
Defensively, the 49ers appear to have less unresolved situations. But those questions will mostly be decided in training camp where physicality stands out. When the players put pads on, we'll learn which member of the team deserves to start at nose tackle. We'll also learn the pecking order for the team's cornerback roles.
In the short term, the 49ers will hold three days of practice to get ready for training camp and showcase the improvements they've made through "Football School" workouts and Organized Team Activities.
We'll watch it unfold and report back on 49ers.com. Jim Harbaugh, plus coordinators Greg Roman and Vic Fangio, will all speak to the media this week. Several players will talk as well.
But until then, more 49ers headlines can be found in today's Morning Tailgate.

Justin Smith 'Indispensable' on DefensePosted by on June 3, 2013 – 9:45 AM
He's absolutely essential to San Francisco's overall success. Without Justin Smith in the lineup, it wouldn't be the same 49ers defense. Smith leads by example, inspires teammates and dominates in the trenches.
The four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle means that much to the 49ers defense, as noted by Adam Schein of NFL.com.
When compiling nine of the most indispensable players in the NFL today, San Francisco's stout defensive tackle was placed at No. 4 on the list.
"Both NaVorro Bowman and Patrick Willis, the best linebacker combination in the league, have told me Smith is the most important player on the Niners' defense," Schein wrote. "He's tough. He's clutch. He takes on blockers and frees up other players.
"Smith sets the tone in practice and in games. He's the Energizer Bunny on one of the truly elite defenses in the league."
Smith is on the mend this offseason. He hasn't taken part in Organized Team Activities, but has been around to help out younger teammates on the defensive line. Currently, Smith's working his way back from offseason triceps surgery. Smith, however, is back in the weight room getting himself ready for his 13th season.
In regards to the offensive side of the ball, Schein placed 49ers tight end Vernon Davis at No. 5 on the key offensive figures list.
Today's Morning Tailgate features additional 49ers-related headlines and the latest on Levi's® Stadium.

MT: Joe Staley Temporarily SidelinedPosted by on May 29, 2013 – 11:25 AM
The 49ers starting left tackle was not practicing at Organized Team Activities on Tuesday. Joe Staley was in attendance, but not participating in the two-hour workout.
After the open OTA session, Jim Harbaugh informed reporters that Staley had a minor procedure done this offseason.
Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com reported it was a minor meniscus tear in Staley's left knee.
Staley went to Twitter to alleviate any concerns from the team's fan base.
"Procedure I had this offseason was very minor but necessary," Staley wrote. "I will be 100 percent and better than ever by training camp."

MT: Replacing Michael CrabtreePosted by on May 24, 2013 – 10:45 AM
It won't be a one man job.
To replace Michael Crabtree's production on the San Francisco 49ers (85 catches, 1,105 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in 2012) it's going to take a collective effort from the team, the team, the team.
Jim Harbaugh is eager to see which young wide receiver will emerge to fill Crabtree's shoes as San Francisco's starting wideout opposite of Anquan Boldin. So far, the young wideouts have been letting their work on the practice field make their case. Players like A.J. Jenkins and Ricardo Lockette are intriguing prospects to line up with Boldin. Mario Manningham and Kyle Williams are also close to returning from late-season injuries.
It should also be noted that the 49ers can still continue their power-running approach in 2013. They also have the unique running threat of Colin Kaepernick. In the backfield, Kendall Hunter is working his way back from a season-ending injury. Plus, Frank Gore is Frank Gore.
Receivers are key in any offense, but the 49ers have shown the ability to be creative in personnel groupings. Not to be forgotten, Vernon Davis, one of the game's most dangerous tight ends, still figures to be heavily involved in the passing game.
More on the team's options to fill in for Crabtree can be found in today's Morning Tailgate.

MT: Harbaugh Trades Khakis for DenimPosted by on May 9, 2013 – 11:38 AM
Jim Harbaugh and Trent Baalke showed a sign of solidarity on Wednesday at the 49ers, Levi's Brand pep rally.
Both of the key figures wore Levi's jeans at the rally, so did their players (Patrick Willis, Frank Gore, Vernon Davis, Justin Smith and Colin Kaepernick).
It was especially unique to see the 49ers head coach wearing an all-denim outfit. Harbaugh is known for his everyday attire of khaki pants and a black microfleece top.
This day, however, was a special one for two iconic Bay Area brands.
Having the 49ers coach celebrate the moment with a fashion statement made it even more unique.

MT: Kendall Hunter Back SprintingPosted by on April 18, 2013 – 10:07 AM
The San Francisco 49ers enjoy a bevy of talented running backs who can run Greg Roman's complex offensive system. One of them, third-year runner Kendall Hunter, is back running sprints this offseason. He's doing so five months removed from a torn left Achilles. Perhaps, Kobe Bryant might want rehab notes from the 49ers running back.
Hunter shared details of his progress with Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.
"I'm just doing what the trainers want me to do," Hunter told Branch. "That's the process. I feel and know I can do more, but I'm not going to rush whatever the coaches and trainers want."
Hunter rushed for 371 yards in 2012, good for 5.2 yards per carry. Hunter also scored two rushing touchdowns before injuring himself on Nov. 25 against the New Orleans Saints.
Hunter told Branch he'd like to participate in OTAs in May or San Francisco's mandatory minicamp in June, but the talented running back understands the importance of a patient rehab process and expects to be held out of action until training camp.

Morning Tailgate: Madden Cover VotePosted by on April 2, 2013 – 9:09 AM
It's voting season.
NFL.com is asking fans to choose the best play in NFL history and two of San Francisco's Hall of Fame quarterbacks, Joe Montana and Steve Young, are among the great eight remaining plays. Montana delivered "The Catch," while Young seemingly broke 49 tackles on his way to a 49-yard game-winning touchdown run against the Minnesota Vikings back in 1988. Fifth round voting ends on April 3.
Another important offseason vote involves 49ers past and present.
Montana, along with Hall of Fame teammate Jerry Rice and current 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, still remain in the Madden Cover Vote for the game's 25 anniversary edition.
Kaepernick, a No. 1 seed, faces Houston Texans running back Arian Foster in the "New School" side of the bracket.
Montana, a No. 1 seed, faces Super Bowl XIX opponent and Kaepernick fan, Dan Marino, a No. 4 seed, in the "Old School" bracket. Meanwhile, Rice, another No. 1 seed, will match up against Michael Strahan (No. 5 seed) as one of the other throwback pairings.
It's worth noting that no other team has more than one representative in the Madden tournament.
That's important if you subscribe to the "Madden Curse" theory. Detroit Lions mega-star wideout Calvin Johnson didn't fall for it in 2013. Johnson, the most recent player to grace the Madden cover, broke Rice's single-season receiving record with 1,964 yards for the Lions. Rice's old record was set in 1995.
Meanwhile, Kaepernick's Twitter feed has recently been filled with retweets of fans supporting his quest to be on the Madden cover.
If you don't want to vote for the current 49ers quarterback, Montana and Rice are long removed from their playing careers and will surely accept placement on the Madden cover. Both stars have joined Twitter, too. Connect with them here: @JoeMontana & @JerryRice.
Round three of the Madden vote ends on April 3. Vote often for any three of the 49ers representatives.
Check out additional 49ers headlines in the Morning Tailgate, including reports of a new quarterback joining the team in 2013.

Macs aren't apparently as much fun for vandals, since there aren't as many of us Mac users out there... Nor are Macs as easy to violate as Bill Gates has made his products to be. [Seems to me that someone could make a lot of money if they started a revolution to replace the Microsoft mess.

Being as old as I am, the memory is going fast, and I forget how to send an attachment after the advisor leaves... Point 3: The date of the virused email was March 3. I have been out of town and did not use my computer from February 26 until March 6. Someone smarter than I suggested that viruses wouldn't have a chance to send things if something called a "blind cc" was used to reply to emails. (I still don't know exactly what that means.) My sympathies to all who have had problems with emails lately. Just be assured that this ignoramus with the antique Mac didn't do it. Lete

Newmont Oil Company is launched to explore Texas and Louisiana for oil reserves.
Thompson dies at age 61, leaving a fortune of $150 million. Attorney Charles Ayer, who has been Newmont's president since 1926, takes the reins.
Attorney Charles Ayer, who has been Newmont's president since 1926, takes the reins. As the Great Depression deepens, dividends and salaries are cut. Ayer takes no pay for his remaining years of service.
Stock peaks at $236 a share in August, just ahead of the market crash.
The stock market crashes, throwing the country into the Great Depression.
Newmont acquires a controlling interest in California's two largest gold mines-the Empire and the North Star-which, with other gold mines in the U.S. and Canada, sustain the company during the Great Depression.
Newmont acquires its first shares in Magma Copper, a company Thompson founded in 1910. Located in eastern Arizona, Magma becomes a core holding for nearly 60 years and rises to become one of the world's largest copper producers.
Renamed Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont goes public with shares trading on the Curb Exchange. It operates like a mutual fund, buying and selling stock in mining and oil companies.
Newmont Company reincorporates in Delaware as Newmont Corporation. This becomes the company's official birth date.
Newmont makes its first major gold investment by taking a founding 25 percent interest in Anglo American Corporation of South Africa.
William Boyce Thompson establishes Newmont Company to manage his expanding portfolio of mining investments. Although headquartered in New York, it incorporates in Maine.
When mine promoter and financier Colonel William Boyce Thompson decides to create the Newmont Company in 1916 to handle his larger private acquisitions - spanning oil and gas, mining and even hats - he names the company based on the wealth he created in New York and his love for his home state of Montana.
After taking his company public in 1925, Thompson sees the share price skyrocket from $40 to $236 in just four years. Thanks to the purchase of the Empire-Star Mines in California, Newmont continues to operate during the Great Depression after President Franklin D. Roosevelt increases the fixed price of gold from $20 per ounce to $35.
The company also becomes a shareholder of Magma Copper - one of the largest copper producers in the United States - and acquires the Idarado and Resurrection mining companies in Colorado to mine gold, lead, zinc and copper.
Circa 1910 - William Boyce Thompson, founder, at Magma Copper.
Newmont spends the next three decades growing steadily by acquiring new operations and diversifying its mining portfolio through joint ventures with established mining companies to include copper, gold and other minerals.
The company experiments with new processing techniques for metals such as nickel and lithium, creates the largest cement plant in the United States and refines copper for use in the automotive industry. In all, Newmont grows its operations, producing 28 different products from mines, wells, plants and refineries in the United States, Canada, Africa, Peru and elsewhere.
In Nevada, Newmont discovers the world's first submicroscopic or "invisible" gold at Carlin in the early 1960s and begins production on the first open pit gold mine in the world. Its mines on the Carlin Trend are the first in North America to produce 1 million ounces in a year. Carlin becomes the foundation of Newmont's rise in the world gold market.
1981 - Newmont forms the Atlantic Cement Company to provide cement to the construction industry on the East Coast.
By the mid-1980s, the company is flush with cash, has little debt and is developing a growing gold district in Nevada. Many on Wall Street discover that Newmont's parts are worth more than the whole, believing the company's non-gold assets of $2.2 billion are undervalued by $1.5 billion.
This attracts corporate raiders - Consolidated Gold Fields (ConsGold), T. Boone Pickens, Minorco, Hanson Industries and Sir James Goldsmith - who seek to break Newmont apart and sell its assets to increase shareholder value.
Newmont faces tumultuous times as it works to thwart these five takeover bids. While eventually successful, these battles leave Newmont in significant debt, requiring that it divest its non-gold assets. Remaining is Newmont's Carlin Trend in Nevada as its primary asset with fledgling operations in Peru and Uzbekistan.
Sir Rudolph Agnew of ConsGold initially attempts a takeover. Eventually, Newmont (headed by then-CEO Gordon Parker) and ConsGold join forces and together they battle additional takeover attempts by T. Boone Pickens and Minorco.
To increase shareholder value, Newmont expands globally and renews its focus on gold. Newmont makes major investments in Nevada, Australia, Peru, Indonesia and Ghana; forms a joint venture gold project in Zarafshan, Uzbekistan; then engages in four acquisitions and mergers beginning in 1997, becoming the world's largest gold producer from 2002-2006.
In 2007, Newmont seeks to take advantage of rising gold prices by shedding its non-core assets and acquiring Miramar Mining Corporation and its Hope Bay project in Nunavut, Canada. The company also eliminates its 1.5 million ounce legacy hedge book to make Newmont the world's largest unhedged gold producer. Also in 2007, Newmont becomes the first gold company listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, the premier sustainability index tracking the performance of 2,500 leading companies, worldwide.
Steadily rising gold prices, coupled with a renewed focus on disciplined cost management, allow for expanding margins in 2008. In addition, despite rising cost pressures, the Yanacocha gold mill and the Nevada TS Power Plant are completed on time and on budget.
2006 - Newmont returns to Africa for the first time in decades and opens the Ahafo gold mine in Ghana.

Westlife When You're Looking Like That Lyrics
Last updated: 02/15/2014 05:22:21 PM
When you're looking like that
She's a 5 foot 10 in catsuit and bambi eyes
Everybody's who's staring wouldn't believe that this girl was mine
I should have know I was wrong
When I left her for a life in pity
But they say you never miss the water until it's gone
Guess I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that?
She's all dressed up for glamour and rock and roll
Wanna squeeze her real tight get out of this place
If only I could take control
But she is out of my reach forever
And just a week ago she lied next to me
It's so ironic how I had to lose just
To see that I fail to love you
And you're taking it out tonight
I don't wanna forget you
I don't even wanna try
How am I supposed to walk on by when you're looking like that?
Thanks to fdd for submitting When You're Looking Like That Lyrics.

WASHINGTON -- Andrei Illarionov, a former top envoy to Russian President Vladimir Putin, created a whirlwind of anxiety in late March, when he told a Swedish newspaper that Putin's annexation efforts will not stop until Finland and the Baltic states were part of Russia.
But Finnish officials discount Illarionov's predictions as uninformed analysis of foreign policy.
"My original thought was rubbish and still remains rubbish," said Alexander Stubb, Finland's Minister for European Affairs and Foreign Trade.
"There's a lot information-war going on and there's a lot of over-analysis and under-analysis going on. I think anyone who draws a parallel between Finland and Ukraine doesn't necessarily know exactly what's going on in foreign policy and security policy," Stubb said in an exclusive interview with WTOP.
Stubb, in Washington on a fact-finding mission regarding the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) -- a trade agreement being negotiated between the European Union and the U.S. -- dismissed the speculation saying, "It's a bit like dandruff -- you brush it off."
But when asked directly by WTOP about Putin's plans, Illarionov suggested it's more than idle speculation, saying it's all based on public documentation.
"As we all know, Russian troops occupied the Crimean Peninsula and later on March 18, Crimea and Sevastopol were annexed by Russia. This was the first part of the plan and there are some other targets of this plan (in the longterm)," Illarionov said.
Now a senior fellow at the Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity at the Cato Institute, Illarionov declined to characterize his personal relationship with Putin, his motivations or his strategies.
As a former top envoy to Putin, however, Illarionov likely had a significant window into Putin's mindset.
Finland's Minister for European Affairs and Foreign Trade Alexander Stubb, second from right, says the speculation that Russia is eyeing Finland next for annexation is "rubbish." (Courtesy Government of Finland)
Illarionov was Putin's top economic adviser from 2000 to January 2005 when he resigned as Putin's presidential representative to the G8, declaring "this year Russia has become a different country. It is no longer a democratic country. It is no longer a free country."
He became an outspoken critic of Putin's government, moved to the U.S. and in 2010 was among the first to sign on to an online petition called "Putin must go" urging him to leave office.
Putin, now in his third term as president over a 15-year period, appears resolute on remaining in power and expanding Russia. In a March 18 speech to the deputies of the state DUMA (council assemblies) and the members of the Federation Council, Illarionov says Putin clarified his intent to reunite Russia with Ukraine and Belarus.
"Everything in Crimea speaks of our shared history and pride. This is the location of ancient Khersones, where Prince Vladimir was baptized. His spiritual feat of adopting orthodoxy predetermined the overall basis of the culture, civilization and human values that unite the peoples of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus," Putin said during his March speech.
According to Illarionov, "Putin said later that day, speaking at the mass rally in Red Square in Moscow, this is not the end of his plan."
Illarionov's suspicion that Russian annexation would continue to spread was further stoked when Putin made a curious reference to German reunification in 1990 and the rise of the European Union.
Putin said "Berlin is still ahead," suggesting there is a competition, between the two countries to build the largest block of countries.
Illarionov said Putin's reference to "Berlin is not being used only as the name of a city in Germany, but as some kind of symbol" of his plans which are not limited to Belarus, but include some other countries.
Regardless of its neighbors geopolitical aspirations, Finland's leaders are confident in its raison d'etre and their destiny is not becoming a victim to a Russian power grab.
Stubb said, after Swedish rule ended in 1809, Finland was an autonomous part of the Russian Empire until 1917, but since the separation, "we've prospered quite well as a nation-state. We're culturally very separate. We happen to share a border of 1,300 kilometers with Russia and there are some Russian elements in Finnish society, but anyone who knows their history knows that we are a Western nation, we believe in Western values, we believe in Western institutions and we live accordingly."
For a second time during the interview, Stubb shrugged off speculation about Russian annexation referring to it as "dandruff," suggesting that Illarionov's assessment was off-base.
Noting that Finland is a strong, independent nation, and fully vested member of the European Union, Stubb said, "Comparing Finland to Crimea is like apples and oranges."
Russia annexed Crimea during a period of political and economic turmoil in Ukraine, a far cry from the current status in Finland.
But Illarionov warned, "six years ago, there was nobody in the world, that believed Russia would attack Georgia and occupy Abkhazia and South Ossetia. At the time Western leaders and Western public opinion didn't pay much attention to that and six years later, the whole world paid the price for that," with the occupation and annexation of Crimea.
This story was modified to note that Finland is part of the European Union, not NATO.

The Geronimo Stilton series originated in Italy and has become the most popular children's book series in that country. It has been published in the United States since 2004. While the series credits its title character as the author, the idea originated with Elisabetta Dami, daughter of an Italian publisher. She developed the likeable mouse character while entertaining sick children in her youth. Ms. Dami divides her time between Italy and Sedona, Arizona.
There are currently over 100 Geronimo Stilton books. The first book in the most recent "series within the series", Cavemice: The Stone of Fire was released in January, 2013. The second book, "Cavemice2: Watch your tail!" will be available soon.

How much should we tell our children about the gloom and doom, and how can we best prepare them to face the economic monster in the closet when they grow up?
Explaining your family's financial situation and giving your kids responsibility early on can help promote confidence and an ingrained understanding of the money cycle. And don't be afraid to encourage creativity. Developing entrepreneurial traits often begins with inspiration at home.
Have the money talkSigns of an economic downturn may be an adult worry, but it doesn't mean your kids should be left out of the picture when it comes to talking about finances. Though the discussion may vary depending on the age of your children, the topic isn't any less important for the elementary school set.
"Parents generally don't want to bother their kids with their whole money situation," says Elisabeth Donati, the founder and executive director of Creative Wealth International, a Santa Barbara, Calif., organization that runs camps and programs to teach kids (and their parents) about money. "Then parents wonder why when their kids leave the house and they hand them a checkbook that they don't know what to do with it."
From the time they start elementary school, show your kids your pay stubs and bills to help them conceptualize where money comes from and how it is spent, Donati suggests. You can even have them watch when you write checks and pay bills online.
If you have teenage kids, chances are they're hearing the word "recession" a lot lately, but they might not know exactly what it means.
"Start by explaining to (your teens) why the economy is in this position," says Gabe Graumann, an entrepreneur who writes Money Talk With Gabe, a financial-coaching blog. "A lot of teens don't understand how credit works," he adds, but you can "educate them that when you borrow money there's interest that you pay to someone else, that's a risk you're taking and there is liability attached."
Lead by exampleInvolving kids in daily finances can help them gain an intuitive sense of basic economics, not to mention make your own daily routines with bills and balances more appealing. If rising costs during a recession prompt you to clip out coupons for the grocery store and make creative use of cheaper ingredients, you might want to use the opportunity to demonstrate budgeting to your children.
Karen Hoxmeier, the founder of MyBargainBuddy.com, a discount-tracking service, says her three children get a kick out of comparing prices on cereal boxes and finding good deals on produce. "They look at it like a scavenger hunt, and they compete with each other," she says.
Dan Henderson, the founder and CEO of Summit Products, a Trussville, Ala., toy company, and a father of two daughters ages 18 and 21, says that when his children were growing up, he sent them allowances in check form and allotted himself checks for spending and family entertainment as well. The habit, he says, helped his daughters understand costs and limits.
Instead of agonizing over the bank account after the kids are asleep, parents should allow them to throw in their own votes on what luxuries the family could do without.
"Let's say you want to take a family vacation to Disneyland," says Jim Del Favero, a group product manager for Quicken personal-finance software. "Tell your kids that in order to go on a vacation, you need to save up. Ask them, 'What can we do as a family in the next three months to save up?' Give them a goal and help them participate in saving for that goal."
Encourage entrepreneurshipAnother way that children learn about money is by watching how their parents work and seeing what it takes to generate an income. Business owners can offer their kids firsthand knowledge and advice on how to start a small business and maybe even generate some of their own income.
On the most basic level, running a lemonade stand or selling baked goods in the neighborhood are popular and fun ways for kids to start thinking like entrepreneurs.
"You can challenge your kids to find other ways to make money," Del Favero says. "If you have a child who likes playing a musical instrument, maybe they can tutor other children. Train children to take the things that they are good at or like doing and see if they can find a way to generate revenue from it."
Seeing an idea through from start to finish is not only an excellent learning experience for children, but it also helps them get in the habit of thinking creatively and being innovative -- both useful skills to have in times of economic recession.
"Some of the best and most profitable times for entrepreneurial businesses is when the economy is in a slump," blogger Graumann says. "That's when the market is looking for new ideas and when you have an opportunity to create a new niche in an established industry."
Share your strugglesEvery career has trying moments. So rather than just sharing news of signing a big client or other successes, make a point to explain the whole process to your kids. Trust and openness can translate into entrepreneurial inspiration and financial confidence.
Summit Products' Henderson says he regrets not being more direct with his children during the financially difficult early years of his business. "We did a lot of things to shield my kids from that, and in retrospect, I really believe that that was a mistake," he says. "Kids don't need the worry of the world on them, but they also need to know that there are exterior things that happen to you that you have to deal with."
As Henderson's children got older and company profits picked up (Summit was named an Inc. 500 company in 2003), Henderson realized his mistake. Direct involvement became important, he says. His two daughters have earned extra money by helping clean Summit's offices and warehouses and doing other office tasks.
"I'm so encouraged when I see my own kids and how well they handle difficult situations because of that," he says.

Man imprisoned on molesting charges
RELATED: See more crime news from the Fredericksburg region
A Woodford man will serve six years in prison related to two sex crimes against a 9-year-old girl.
Darrell Lee Sheets, 64, was sentenced to 30 years in prison with all but six years suspended in Caroline County Circuit Court Wednesday.
In July, Sheets pleaded guilty to one count of indecent liberties and one count of aggravated sexual battery.
Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Diane Abato said the young victim kept the secret for a year before telling her mother about it.
An investigation began in February 2012 when Sheets turned himself in to police two days after being confronted by the victim's mother.
According to Abato, Sheets touched the girl sexually and made her touch him. She asked the judge to give him a 15 year sentence, which is higher than the sentencing guidelines.
Sheets told Judge Patricia Kelly the reason he did it was because he was curious.
The paternal grandfather of the victim in Sheets' case said yesterday that this was not the only secret his now 10-year-old granddaughter had been keeping.
On Monday, Phillip Wayne Williams of Fredericksburg pleaded guilty in Spotsylvania Circuit Court to misdemeanor sexual battery in a similar offense against the girl. He received a one-year suspended sentence in a plea deal.
The grandfather, a Fredericksburg-area pastor for 27 years, said the girl is going through counseling to get through this, and a custody battle is in progress.
He said she is a strong girl and he encourages other young victims who are keeping secrets like this to come forward.
"People need to have the comfort to come forward and know that there is support," he said.

Part of active aging is taking care of your feet and face, especially if you walk outdoors as often as I do. If your feet are in pain, you won't want to walk, dance, stand, run, or anything else that is upright. And I'm fairly vain, so I want to have skin that is sunburn-resistant and elastic. Dry and wrinkly is a great way to advertise raisins, not faces.

Davis, Pippen among those at Young H.S. for debut of new pro-am basketball league
BY PATRICK Z. MCGAVIN For Sun-Times Media June 15, 2013 9:26PM
Article Extras
Updated: June 16, 2013 6:02PM
Anthony Davis proved it is possible to come home again.
The former Perspectives-MSA star returned with former Kentucky teammate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to formally launch a new edition of a Nike-backed Pro-Am league called Chi-League at Young Saturday afternoon.
The 10-team, nine-week league is an effort to recapture the golden era of Chicago's Pro-Am culture when Michael Jordan, Isiah Thomas, Mark Aguirre and other top college players showcased their game, for free, before adoring crowds at Illinois Institute Technology and Chicago State in the late 1980s.
Games started on Saturday and proceed through the end of the summer at Young. With each team carrying as many as 15 players, the summer league is designed as a hoops bonanza. Saturday was just the drop of the curtain. Current NBA players are restricted until July 1 to participate in summer league games.
By stitching together NBA, professional aspirants and elite college and high school players, the free form league offers a thrilling chance to see players, like Simeon star and Duke-recruit Jabari Parker, battle seasoned-college players, as he did Saturday afternoon.
It offers the rare ability to see different eras and generations collide.
"It was a way for me to keep my game crisp," the two-time Mr. Basketball winner said. Parker is part of the Mac Irvin Fire team made up of players who started for the iconic Nike-club affiliated program in the last five years. "It also gives you a chance to play against older guys and adjust to the physical style of play."
Parker played with Curie star senior center Cliff Alexander, a top-five nationally-rated player.
Young star center Jahlil Okafor, the country's top prospect for 2014, is expected to join the team after participating with US national team. Other former Public League stars, such as Wayne Blackshear of national champion Louisville, are also preparing a run for the team.
Young itself was transformed. A special black-wood surface was installed and the center court was emblazoned with a Chi-League logo. A 140-foot LED video screen was also installed at courtside.
Former Bulls' great Scottie Pippen joined Davis and Kidd-Gilchrist. Before the festivities were formally unveiled, the three spoke to a select group of some 70 local high school players from 20 different area schools Saturday morning.
Pippen's story as a lightly-recruited role player and former team manager who wound up at Central Arkansas whose emergence keyed the Bulls' six championships served as a tale worth emulating. "I think what I tried to stress is the feel good confidence of taking part in something like this," Pippen said.
"You don't have to be a superstar. You can be that ninth, 10th or llth man, and still work and try to get something out of it."
Pippen's trajectory paralleled that of Davis. The No. 1 pick of the 2012 NBA draft of the recently rechristened New Orleans Pelicans, Davis dominated college basketball in powering Kentucky to the NCAA national title 15 months ago. His return home occasioned his own reflections on his remarkable rise.
Three years ago, Davis was an unknown player. His high school did not even have its own gym. After he grew some nine inches, the 6-11 power forward emerged as the country's top prep player in 2011 despite the fact his Perspectives-MSA team lost nearly twice as many games as it won his senior year of high school.
His defensive dominance and rapidly-improving offensive game was the lynchpin of Kentucky's blitz through the 2012 national tournament. He is regarded, like Derrick Rose, as a bright light of the NBA's future.
"It's been a whirlwind," Davis said. "I had a great support system with my family. Definitely, there were times I wish I had some of same opportunities, as far as access to elite skill camps, like what we're doing now."
Davis said he was uncertain whether he would play in the games after the July 1 moratorium. Kidd-Gilchrist announced he would play. Davis said he is excited by the possibilities. "I'm excited to see the new guys evolve on the court," he said.
"I can't wait to get it started."
