BLUEFIELD, Va. – All five starters reached double figures and senior Trevor Setty recorded his second double-double of the season as No. 4 Pikeville knocked off Bluefield College 85-70 on Saturday afternoon at Dome Gymnasium.
Pikeville's win – combined with No. 2 Cumberlands holding on for an 81-79 win over St. Catharine – sets the stage for a titanic matchup at the East Kentucky Expo Center on Thursday night. The teams will bring identical 15-1 worksheets to the arena for an 8 p.m. tip between the top teams in the Mid-South Conference. Cumberlands is atop the standings at 6-0 in the league; the Bears are 5-1.
Setty had 15 points and 13 rebounds, four of which came off the offensive glass. His points came thanks to going 9-of-10 from the free throw line as the Bears won on a day they struggled to 40.6 percent shooting from the floor.
Senior guard Jamar "Deuce" Briscoe continued his torrid season, finishing with 31 points to go with five rebounds and three assists. It marked the sixth time in 16 games the Baltimore product has reached the 30-point barrier.
Briscoe also was hot from the line, going 7-of-8 as the Bears hit a remarkable 27-of-31 (87.1 percent) from the stripe.
Senior Chris Johnson just missed a double-double of his own, finishing with 12 points and nine assists. He added three steals in the win. Junior Josh Whitaker flipped in 11 while senior Terrance Saintil, who had all four of Pikeville's blocked shots, scored 10.
Bluefield (6-8, 2-4) got consecutive baskets from sophomore Eric Swift to take a 4-2 lead early, but the Bears answered with nine straight to take a lead they would never lose. Senior Chris Johnson scored the first four, and when Briscoe nailed the first of his four three-point shots with 17:05 to play, the Bears led 11-4.
The edge was 42-36 at the half, and while Bluefield kept it close most of the second half – cutting it to eight four different times late – the Bears pulled away and enjoyed their biggest lead of the day at the end.
Bluefield had four players in double figures, led by junior Kearston Marion's 15 points and five assists. Senior Byron Carpenter followed with 14 to go with seven rebounds.
Junior Pierre Walters followed with 12 off the bench, while Swift tossed in 11 and filled the stat sheet with six rebounds, five steals and four assists.
Junior Josh Nesbit, who had four rebounds, led the Rams with 10 rebounds as they won that battle 43-41.
While the Bears will prepare for Thursday's meeting with Cumberlands, Bluefield will meet Lindsey Wilson on Thursday night in Columbia.

Hyde Park On Hudson
Comedy / Drama
Director: Roger Michell
Running time: 94 mins Released: 1st February 2013
About Hyde Park On Hudson
In June 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Bill Murray) and his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) are due to host the King and Queen of England (Samuel West and Olivia Colman) for a weekend at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park on Hudson. It is the first time a reigning English monarch has visited America, and will be a key event in establishing a better relationship between the two nations. But Franklin is more concerned with his distant cousin Daisy (Laura Linney), a country girl who has been sent to keep him company. Of course, this must be kept from the Brits, who are disconcerted by the presence of hotdogs at a picnic. Will the weekend of royal and political protocol go smoothly?

Season Review
Messed up in the summe from the point of view of transfers, some teething troubles, a good January and a taste of things to come in the last few months with some beautiful football.
Overall: some progress made but I expect a quantum leap next season.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
A text book example of a transgressional season? I think so. As you said, BR was shot in the foot when the board dragged their heels over the last minute forward signings and from that moment I felt we were doomed to a year of blooding youngsters and it turned out just that way. It definitely took a while to get to grips for some players and the team we saw in the second half was as good as Arsenal/Chelsea/Tottenham in my opinion, the goal difference normally indicates a 'false position' at the risk of sounding red glazed.
We have gone from being a 1 man team up till xmas to having a decent spread of goals, Sturridge, Suarez will score the big numbers then you have Coutinho and Gerrard chipping in with substantial goals and assists. Henderson makes it into the 'making things happen' category too. We definitely need more goals from the right hand side and are a bit light in terms of defensive cover.
At the end of the day, the numbers dont lie, scored more goals, got more points, more wins, more clean sheets. The system is good, the application improving,a few more round pegs in round holes and I think we will contest the top 4 next season, all depends on them getting this transfer window bang on the money.

I think one of the most curious things about this offseason is going to be; who do we sell? I think in the final 8-10 games, Reina finally started looking like the Pepe we've come to know, and I hope we don't sell him, contrary to what I'd said midseason. I read direct quotes from Rodgers that Skrtel is absolutely not for sale, and he said Skrtel/agent seemed in no interest to bring up a transfer, so that's good news because I just don't think he can go from player of the year to such poor form, without the ability to regain it. For what it's worth, he did look very good yesterday.
I guess Downing, despite his improved form and contribution will be a big question because we really do need more goals/assists from that side, but his work rate is excellent. Jonjo seems to have really fall down and despite being good for the 3 Lions, never seems to find the net with us. And, then we have a few obvious like Assaidi, Coates, Pacheco etc..
Again, from another post, in addition to who we bring in, our biggest leap forward is going to have to come from the core of the squad, that's now had a season (some only half) to train and play this way, and come out of the gates in August flying with a purpose. We were definitely an inconsistent side for most of the year, but slowly got better and better, finished 9 unbeaten (w/ some sh-tty draws) and 11 cleans in 15, on top of a lot of goals except for a few locked doors, so the positives are really there in black in white. We now have to grasp them, add to them, and make them get better.
We took on City/Chelsea both toe to toe, drew both, but I firmly believe with more experience and depth, we are equal to Spurs and Arsenal with the right additions. Both of those squads have similar questions and tasks ahead, only difference is they finished 4th/5th, but heavily reliant on a few players with not enough depth/class.. Where would Spurs be without Bale? We proved where we can be without Suarez, and have another 5 games to go..
Looking forward to a full season of a fitter, stronger, more adept Coutinho, Sturridge, Sterling, Suso, now Ibe, and the return of Kelly, with a great platform for Borini to make his case after some lively performances at the end.. Roll on 13/14!!
The positive thing for me was that we generally got better results wise as the season went on. Last season was the reverse in the league. Cap'n Birdseye is right in that we're far too inconsistent. There were a couple of real howler results that you just can't afford to have.
Difficult close season ahead now with a lot of transfer activity needed to push forward. We will at some point come to a point where we need some real steal in the middle. Arsenal have suffered from a lack of it (amongst other things).
We definitely need more depth and strength in the squad. Far too many players are shoe ins for a starting position. We need real quality and competition within the squad to develop some real hunger.
Oh for one or two Carraghers to turn up. Realy sad to see him go but time waits for no man
Loki...Next season is going to depend on the owners and BR getting it right in the transfer market this time...20 mill will buy u one good player and that wont be enough. We need a minimum of four World class proven talents to strengthen this squad and Ashley bloody Wiliams isnt one of them ! The performance v QPR was imo abysmal apart from the marvellous goal from the ever improving Couhtino. Motivation seems to be a problem for us and that for me is down to BR. Next season ? More of the same... a lot of lack of motivation in evidence a not too successful transfer window due to lack of coin put on table by FSG and a continuing inability to produce results against top 8 sides. All in all not too rosy a picture for me.

Interesting post Colin. I only saw what was a very one sided affair on Match of the Day.
Motivation is an interesting one and is a fair point as we've showed the desire when playing the top sides and then falter a week later. For me that comes from within and yes the manager has a role to play. He must instill a sense of hunger in the squad. That's not going to happen with a squad full of entrenched players, happy to sit on their wages and inflated transfer fees I'm afraid. It didn't really happen for Ferguson until he introduced a whole group of HUNGRY youngsters that happened to be able to play a bit too. It also needs to come from the players and again the key is midfield for me. You find someone with the vocals and organisation of Carragher mixed with Coutinho's vision, Alonso's passing ability and the grit of Mascherano and you will have someone that will set the Kop alight and the rest follow. Now to find someone like that who hasn't been singled out by one of the European giants.
Yes I know that guys name is Souness. Just need to figure out cloning.

Not sure I'd say we "messed up" the summer transfers, but no doubt there were mistakes made. Not signing a striker after AC left was a mistake, and since he can't get in the line up Assaidi may also have been a mistake (although a cheap one!). But other signings have been mixed. Allen good for the first half, but fell away then we learn he has a shoulder problem needing surgery. Borini has been a target for some, but hard to impress when your on the treatment table most of the season. Jury still out imo.
Overall I'd say we progressed, whether measured from one season to the next, or within this last season where we certainly got better in the second half. So on the right track imo.
Not sure we need a quantum leap, but steady progression. We made up 9 points over the previous season, but need about 10-12 to be challenging for top 4 (15 should secure it). I think we can all point to matches were mistakes or lack of consistency cost us, where we might have made up at least half the points needed to challenge. Therefore while we need to aim for top 4, and I believe its achievable, for me its building on what we have, bringing some depth for cover, and maybe 1 or 2 who can be the spark as Suarez, Coutinho and Gerrard have been this season.

Can I call foul on one part of your post please DSTeer? For me comparing points from one season to the another is in my opinion like comparing apples and oranges. You cant do it because the variables i.e. your team and everyone else have changed. It's league position that's the be all and end all with me.
Otherwise it's a good post and I agree that we basically need to build on what we've started. NOt change direction.

San Jose State could be without a key defensive starter for the entire football season.
Vince Buhagiar hasn't practiced in a few weeks because of a shoulder injury. Coach Ron Caragher said Wednesday that the team hasn't ruled out having the senior linebacker redshirt this season.
"I'm not ready to say anything on that yet, but we could be moving in that direction," Caragher said.
Buhagiar was a first-team All-WAC selection last season. He had 89 tackles and three sacks at inside linebacker. The plan this season was to shift him to outside linebacker in SJSU's new 3-4 alignment.
Buhagiar, who attended Clayton Valley High, has been a starter since his true freshman season in 2010.
The United States beat New Zealand 12-5 to finish the preliminary round unbeaten at the World Junior Water Polo Championships in Volos, Greece. Cal's Tiera Schroeder plays for the U.S.

The Height of Ambition
By James Glanz and Eric Lipton
Published: September 8, 2002
Guy Tozzoli guided his black Mercedes sedan past a jumble of swaybacked old warehouses and manicured condominium developments on the back streets of Hoboken, N.J., winding his way toward the Holland Tunnel. Over the years he had figured out how to cut to the front of the 10-block line of traffic in front of the tunnel, shaving a few minutes off his journey to Lower Manhattan from his home in Bergen County. Tozzoli firmly believed that there was a work-around for every problem; his daily commute was no exception. His shortcut took him down Jersey Avenue, under a rusty train bridge and straight into the Holland Tunnel plaza near the tollbooths.
On this particular September morning, as he passed under the train bridge, Tozzoli was a bit behind schedule. He had just wrapped up several calls from his car phone to business colleagues in Hong Kong and Paris; 15 more minutes, and he would be sitting in his 77th-floor office in the north tower of the World Trade Center, looking out toward Midtown.
Every morning more than 40,000 men and women went to work in the trade center, but only one of them -- Guy Tozzoli -- could say that he had created it. From the conception of the trade center in the early 1960's to the completion of the twin towers in 1973, Tozzoli led the team of dreamers, planners, architects and builders who overcame countless obstacles to construct the tallest buildings on earth. Sometimes it seemed as if Tozzoli, the director of the project for the Port of New York Authority, had personally willed the towers into existence -- outfoxing enemies, bullying colleagues, maneuvering around one intractable problem after another. As construction delays mounted and his impatience grew, he imposed on his staff what he called Tozzoli's Rules, a set of inflexible and often idiosyncratic dicta designed to help him beat the clock and the odds, including one that decreed that no meeting should last longer than 17 minutes.
When the towers were finally completed, Tozzoli moved into an office there himself, and once he got there, he never left. In the four decades that had passed since the Port Authority's executive director, Austin J. Tobin, first mentioned to him the preliminary plans for a World Trade Center, Tozzoli had never been away from the plot of land on Manhattan's West Side for more than a few weeks. And in all that time, one of the most beautiful moments for him each morning was his first view of the towers across the Hudson.
But on this particular morning, as he made the turn off Jersey Avenue, his eyes were confronted with an incomprehensible sight. Waves of thick, oily smoke were billowing from a gash in the north tower, not far above his office. Tozzoli lurched to a stop and found himself stuck in a motionless mass of cars. He stepped out of his Mercedes and stood among dozens of other stupefied commuters, all staring helplessly at the smoke and flames in the distance. ''It's going to take us a long time to fix that,'' Tozzoli said, his voice as scratchy as a washboard, to the clot of people around him. No one answered.
Then he heard the scream of the second plane gunning its engine past the Statue of Liberty, and he watched it bank toward the south tower. An orange billow of flame exploded from the point of impact. Chunks of steel, shards of fuselage and landing gear and a blizzard of paper burst from the side of the tower. As chaos and panic erupted around him, Tozzoli got back in his car and worked his way into the stream of ambulances and squad cars entering the tunnel. In 1993, he guided people down a dark exit stairway after a terrorist bomb exploded in the basement of the trade center. He knew he had to do something this time too.
On the Manhattan side, a uniformed policeman stopped him and ordered him to turn around. Tozzoli pulled out his credentials. ''Listen, I built that place,'' he said, pointing at the burning towers. ''I've got to get down there to help.''
The policeman's reply was curt. ''I don't care if you're the pope,'' he said. ''You turn this car around.''
For the first time in the trade center's history, there was nothing Guy Tozzoli could do to fix things. From the instant the south tower spit out its burning plume, like a great flamethrower over Manhattan, everything he had pieced together and nurtured was doomed to come horrifyingly undone.
Tozzoli and the towers' other creators -- most of them as innovative and as hardheaded as he was -- had over the decades made dozens of decisions, small and large, many now half-forgotten, that had suddenly become matters of life and death. When they determined the enormous size for the trade center, when they shaped it into an icon of international financial prowess and -- most important -- when they drew the blueprints for its construction, they had unwittingly written the script for its eventual destruction. Why did the towers initially withstand the impacts of jetliners without tipping over like felled oaks but then collapse, about an hour later, in two deadly implosions? Why did most of the people below the impact zones escape and live, while nearly all those above were trapped and died? The answers are deeply buried, like clues beneath the rubble, in the trade center's history.

Hey everybody,
i mainly use PMS to stream "spotify" music to my WDTV Live using a direct sound bridge.
The stream starts to interupt after 30-60 minutes (sometimes sooner).
All that seems to help is push "stop" on the wdtv live and hit "play" again.
It would be lovely to have the stream run smoothly for hours.
Any idea what could be done to fix this? the Log of PMS doesnt show anything interesting after

The PMS runs on a Win7 Laptop connected via Wi-Fi but i doubt its an connection issue:
- connection is stable regarding any other applicatons running on the laptop
- streaming the audio requires a ridiculously low amount of bandwidth
One thing i noticed, maybe this is related:
The longer the stream is played, the bigger the delay between whats played on PC and what i hear from WDTV-Live gets. When i skip forward on my pc i takes sometimes 30-60 seconds before the WDTV reaches the place in the stream where i hit the button.
Any idea how to get rid of that (the interuptions, the lag is a nice to have)?
thanks in advance!

Based on more than 300 interviews and never-before-seen private documents, this audiobook recounts the entire arc of Hendrix's life, from his troubled childhood and struggle with racial prejudice to his rapid ascent in swinging London, his headlining at Woodstock in 1969, and his death a year later. As colorful and large as the decade of the 60s, this biography gives the real Hendrix the immortality he deserves.
©2005 Charles R. Cross; (P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc
"Cross' detailed, engrossing book makes the memory of Hendrix even stronger." (New York Times)
"One of the best biographies to date....Admirably comprehensive and well referenced, this is the Hendrix biography to acquire if you can acquire only one." (Booklist)
"An excellent portrait, probably unbeatable both for its moving depiction of his youth and thrilling rise to fame and for its myth-busting finality." (Los Angeles Times)
Computer Programmer and Worship Leader. Have enjoyed reading since my mom got me hooked on Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie prior to my teen years. My brother got me hooked on audio books after I started having a longer commute to work. Love a variety of genres.
"Great Book - Interesting and Sad Story"
Mr. Cross has done a great job of telling the story of Jimi's life. He avoids glamorizing Jimi's life and is honest about his shortcomings and those of his family.
The hardships Jimi went through in his youth, both those outside of his control and those he brought on himself, were unbelievable. Given what he went through, it's amazing that he accomplished what he did.
The story of Jimi's meteoric rise to fame in London is truly fascinating. I also didn't know that Jimi had played for Little Richard and the Isley brothers before breaking out on his own.
The stories of the recording of "Are You Experienced" and Jimi's follow-up albums was fantastic. The story of how "The Wind Cries Mary" was taught to the band and recorded in 20 minutes (with overdubbed guitar solo as well) was truly remarkable.
On the darker side, the substance abuse that is detailed in this book also makes your head spin. Given the things noted in this book, it's amazing Jimi lived as long as he did.
This seems to be a well-researched, balanced look at Jimi's life. The author also does a good job separating fact from fiction (especially in Jimi's death), while at the same time acknowledging when there is not enough evidence to do so.
Nicely done! I learned a LOT about Jimi's life and short time in the spotlight.
"Great Listen"
As a long-time Hendrix fan, I learned a lot from this book that I did not know before. The narrator reads it dynamically, holding my attention all the way through. I could not "put it down." I feel like I know Jimi the person much better, and enjoy listening to his music and can now hear both the early excitement and growth and his later frustration revealed through his playing. It was great to go back and watch Hendrix at Woodstock and at the Isle of Wight with a knowledge of the "behind the scenes" backstory of these events. Highly recommended.
"Jimi de-mythified"
Reads like a documentary, the author does not embellish unnecessarily. Wow as to the story. Who knew? I didn't.
"The Full Jimi"
This book give the full story, birth to death, of Jimi Hendrix. I thought I knew much of his story, but it seems I knew so little: the hardship of his childhood, the lack of monuments to his life, his violence, and tremendous work ethic.
"Bravo!!!!! Must buy"
This author has much to be proud of. He was objective and in depth in his story telling.As a black man, I am guilty of dismissing Hendrix as being "not black enough" because he played rock and not the more popular African American genres of music. I was in error! Hendrix was a wonderful spirit! Thank You to the parties that contributed to this book. I listened to the entire book in a week. I was moved. A+++++++.
"In depth"
Detailed, well thought and appreciated. The legend continues.
"I really enjoyed this!"
This was good, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to any fans of Hendrix or classic rock guitarists in general.
Live and die with no regrets
"Hendrix-Man and Myth"
I've read several books on Hendrix and by far Room Full of Mirrors gave me a glimpse of the real Jimi. A complete story from a rough and troublesome childhood to rock God.
I highly recommend this book for any fan wanting to know the real story of the Voodoo child.
"Great book. Great narrator."
Excellent book and narration. A great story, but I am a biased Hendrix fan. Very interesting retrospective of Hendrix's life, and the author is very knowledgable with the facts and history. I enjoyed every moment of this book.
I also highly recommend "Heavier Than Heaven" the biography of Kurt Cobain, also written by Cross with the same narrator. The two books are on the same level.

SONOMA -- Will Power knows better than most that every point counts in a championship race.
In 2012, he lost the IndyCar Series championship to Ryan Hunter-Reay by three points. In 2010, he lost the title to Dario Franchitti by five.
On Saturday at Sonoma Raceway, Power padded his points lead to 40 by claiming the bonus point that comes with winning the pole for Sunday's Go Pro Grand Prix of Sonoma.
The Team Penske driver navigated the 12-turn, 2.38-mile track in 1 minute, 17.4126 seconds, more than a quarter of a second ahead of Josef Newgarden, who will start on the front row in wine country for the first time.
Helio Castroneves, Power's Penske teammate and No. 2 in the points standings, will have a tough assignment Sunday. After qualifying sixth, he will be hard pressed to catch Power, the only three-time winner on a Sonoma circuit where passing is difficult. The point he lost Saturday won't hurt him as much as starting from Row 3.
"Yeah, it's another point, unfortunately," Castroneves said. "But we can't worry about one point. We need to minimize the damage. Hopefully we can have a great race. The car is fast. We'll try to do everything we can, take some chances. There's no reason to be conservative."
If things go according to plan, Power won't have to do anything risky.
"There's definitely less pressure starting up front," Power said. "It's a track-position race -- it has been in the past. Unless something strange happens with strategy, we've put ourselves in the best possible position to win the race. That's definitely the goal tomorrow."
The result for Newgarden, the young American driver for Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing, was an eye-opener. Just two years ago, he qualified 22nd at Sonoma.
"This was our worst track in 2012," Newgarden said. "It honestly was. We were horrible. I think we were two seconds off (the pace) in 2012. It's so cool to see our progress. Coming from 2012 and nearly starting last, now we're to 2014 and nearly starting first."
Scott Dixon qualified third, James Hinchcliffe was fourth, and Ryan Briscoe was fifth.
With the Sonoma race on Sunday followed by the season-concluding, 500-mile, double-points finale at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana on Aug. 30, Power could be zeroing in on his first IndyCar championship. And he'll take every point he can get.
"I've missed out by a couple of points before," Power said. "If you can start from the pole and lead a lap, that's another point. It all adds up, but there are still a lot of points on the table."
But as it stands, team owner/driver Carpenter (23rd in the standings) and Conway (22nd) share the No. 20 car. Carpenter drives only on oval tracks and won at Texas Motor Speedway. Conway, who specializes in road and street courses, won at Long Beach and in Race 2 of the Toronto doubleheader. Pretty impressive results for a one-car team.
"It has been a good year, as much a we could have hoped for -- other than a 500 win," Carpenter said, referring to being crashed out of the Indianapolis 500 after winning the pole for the second consecutive year.
The idea for sharing his car with a road racer came in a conversation with his stepfather, Tony George.
"Tony and I were talking at the end of last season and kicked the idea around," Carpenter said. "My focus at this point in my career is building the race team and the long-term viability and success of the team.
"When I started thinking about it like that -- splitting the seat with someone who could raise our level of performance on the road and street courses -- Mike was my first call. And he was excited about the opportunity."
Conway, who had given up driving ovals after two horrifying wrecks, was tailor-made for the job.
"We're all happy with it," Carpenter said. "The results have been good."
There is one drawback for Carpenter being a part-time driver.
"I certainly miss being in the car more," he said, "but at the same time, we've won three races at this point of the season, and there's a good chance that if I had been driving the car, we only would have only won one."

Musicians Attract Attention at Inauguration

WASHINGTON | Beyonce drew a loud cheer from the audience Monday even before her impressive rendition of the national anthem.
The applause started when she took her place with Jay-Z at the Capitol to watch President Barack Obama take the oath for his second term in office. The two stopped to chat with the Rev. Al Sharpton.
James Taylor kicked off the musical performances, strumming his guitar and singing "America the Beautiful." Kelly Clarkson followed with an unusual arrangement of "My Country 'Tis of Thee." Then Beyonce was introduced and the crowd again roared its approval.
The pop goddess may have been the star musical attraction, but she had plenty of company from Hollywood at the Capitol on Monday. Katy Perry and John Mayer sat side-by-side, with Perry in an orange-striped coat and wide hat.
Actress Eva Longoria was seated on the platform outside the Capitol after making an appearance at a Kennedy Center performance Sunday night. (Perry sang the night before, at the children's concert.)
Former Boston Celtics great Bill Russell was in the crowd, too, along with actor Marlon Wayans.

DISCOVERY BAY -- James Kellogg picked up his award for "Californian of the Year" from the Outdoor Writers Association of California, and then he went hunting, and hunting, and hunting again.
Kellogg said he planned to hunt deer from horseback for six days in Nevada, and then head to Canada for more deer hunting. The final trip on his agenda was in Montana, where the 69-year-old recently retired union representative will hunt elk.
Many Californians opposed to the killing of wildlife might abhor the vacation plans of the Fish and Game commissioner who was recently named president of the commission. He's heard it before. As the longest-serving member of the commission, Kellogg has seen his share of political shootouts over the best use of California's wild lands. Hunting, however, is something he loves to do.
The Discovery Bay resident has no illusions about the challenges hunters like him face in modern society. He envisions a day when hunters and fishermen become extinct. Times have changed since his childhood in Richmond, he said.
"Most all kids in those days grew up with a fishing pole in one hand and a BB gun in the other. We were outdoors all the time. Kids today have a cellphone in one hand and a remote control in the other, and they spend all their time indoors," he said.
The two worlds often clash at Fish and Game Commission meetings. The commission sets hunting and fishing season and limits. It also has a say in determining threatened or endangered species.
"We go through a public process," Kellogg said. "There's a lot of back and forth and a lot of animosity."
It might surprise some to hear he often advocates for preservation of local species. He voted to shut down salmon fishing for two seasons when the population crashed. He also recently closed the already limited hunting season for sage grouse in Lassen County. Fires there decimated the birds' habitat.
"It was just the right thing to do. We've lost so much habitat over the years," he lamented.
Hunters and fishermen help fund habitat programs with everything from donations to taxes and licensing charges. "It's all about protecting and preserving what we have."
Marilyn Hendrickson, who produces fishing and outdoor radio shows with her husband, said Kellogg has an impressive resume of community service on some of the state's most powerful commissions. Two schools have been named for Kellogg.
"His leadership abilities are legendary, and he has gained the respect and admiration of all who have had dealings with him," said Hendrickson, who served for a year on the Fish and Game Commission with Kellogg.
Kellogg's even keel as he listens to both sides of an issue at the Fish and Game Commission may be the reason three governors have named him to the commission for a term that has lasted a decade. Former Gov. Gray Davis first chose him. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gov. Jerry Brown reinstated him.
Kellogg was voted president of the commission this summer after Commissioner Dan Richards was effectively demoted from the position. The embattled Richards, who earlier this year was pictured hugging a mountain lion he had legally shot in Idaho, will sit on the board for six more months. Kellogg took the uproar in stride and is looking forward to getting back to the business of the commission.
"It's not easy," he says of the controversies that often embroil his commission, "but I guess I must do some of it right. Even my adversaries will sit and break bread."

The North Dakota National Guard (NDNG) brought its largest team yet to the Central Region Biathlon Competition last week. Twelve soldiers and airmen competed against their counterparts from 12 other states Jan. 24-27 at Camp Ripley, Minn. For the fourth straight year, the North Dakota National Guard team came out on top, winning the competition. Team members included Master Sgt. Kent Pulst and his son Sgt. Brandon Pulst, both of Penn, N.D. North Dakota biathletes took the top two spots in both men's races and the first and third spots in both women's races. Once again, first-time biathletes rose to the top, as well, winning the women's novice title and taking second in the men's novice category. "The North Dakota National Guard Biathlon Team is a product of excellence and commitment," said Col. David Skalicky, who coaches the team. "Our biathletes have actively recruited top talent from the North Dakota National Guard to create a nationally recognized program. We have yet to develop an Olympic biathlete, but the future looks bright! I am extremely pleased with the effort of our athletes and look forward to competing for the national title at the end of February." 1st Lt. Blake Hillerson won both men's races during the regional competition - the 10-kilometer sprint race and 12.5-kilometer pursuit - and Maj. Eric Nordgren placed second in both races. Hillerson lives in St. Paul and serves in the North Dakota Army National Guard's 426th Signal Network Support Company, and Nordgren, of Pelican Rapids, Minn., serves with the North Dakota Air National Guard's 119th Wing. Both men have qualified multiple times for the national-level team and competed around the world. "I didn't feel like I had anything extra today," Hillerson said of giving his all in the sprint race. His training lately has been focusing on bigger races, including the 50-kilometer American Birkebeiner, he said, as well as the Guard's national biathlon competition. Tech. Sgt. Danelle Card, of Hawley, Minn. - last year's novice winner - showed what a year of honing her skills could do, winning both of her races. Card led the women competitors with her first-place finish in both the 7.5-kilometer sprint race and 10-kilometer pursuit race. Maj. Micaela Brancato, of Detroit Lakes, Minn., placed third in both races. Both women serve in the North Dakota Air National Guard's 119th Wing. "It felt good," Card said after her race Friday, and expressed optimism in recovering well for Saturday's race. She was interrupted by another biathlete she competed with on the course who exclaimed, "You should've seen her attack that hill!" The sprint course featured 301 meters of total climb, which is especially challenging on skis. The team's newest members also did well, with Brancato winning the women's novice category and Lt. Col. Mitch Johnson, of Fargo, taking second in the men's novice category. The category is limited to first-year competitors. Both novices serve in the North Dakota Air National Guard's 119th Wing. Other North Dakota National Guard biathletes helping the team to its fourth straight win include Sgt. Adam Walsvik, of Hazen, N.D.; Retired Lt. Col. Jon Wutzke, of Fargo; Sgt. Jordan Becker, of Grand Forks, N.D.; and Spc. Kellie Lindberg, of Fargo.

SANTA CLARA -- Defensive tackle Justin Smith did not practice Wednesday because of an elbow injury, casting a hint of doubt that his streak of 185 consecutive starts could end Sunday when the 49ers visit Seattle.
Smith observed practice after working out in the team's weight room. He wore no visible arm brace for the injury that he sustained in the third quarter of Sunday's 41-34 win at New England.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Smith's injury will take a couple more days to evaluate, adding that Smith will play "if humanly possible."
Smith's streak, the third-longest among active players, has overcome rib and finger injuries over the years. Asked in June if he dealt with any significant injury last season, Smith replied: "I had some stuff. Not significant. Significant means you're out. I've been lucky."
In the event Smith is out Sunday, linebacker Patrick Willis said the defense will turn to Ricky Jean Francois. "Injuries happen and that offers opportunities for other guys to step up and contribute," Willis said. "And Ricky Jean is that guy for us right now. I have complete confidence in him."
Jean Francois has three career starts, including one this season in place of nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga. Jean Francois had a fourth-quarter sack Sunday night.
It's the fourth time that two different 49ers quarterbacks have won that award in the same season: Joe Montana and Steve Young in 1988 and 1990; Young and Steve Bono in 1991. Kaepernick threw a career-high four touchdown passes Sunday night, joining Tom Brady and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks to do so at Gillette Stadium.
"There's a lot of great players on this team that put in the effort for that award to come around," Kaepernick said.
Carroll picked up on the joke 11/2 hours later in his conference call with Bay Area media. "I heard he didn't get one from us yet," Carroll said of a Christmas card. "I'll go back and check my list to see how that happened. If Jim's not sending a card, that's OK, I'll understand. We'll send one along in the mail soon."

Local Red Cross volunteers recall Sandy aftermath
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 6:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 6:49 p.m.
A group of American Red Cross volunteers from Henderson County, some of whom have been responding to disasters since 9/11, said their trip to New Jersey in response to Hurricane Sandy was exceptional.
Never before had they responded to a hurricane, then been hit by a snowstorm days later.
"It was the strangest deployment," said Red Cross associate Yolanda Nedwed. "It's been crazy."
Nedwed and five others traveled to Princeton, N.J., two weeks ago to aid in relief efforts.
After arriving at Princeton, the Henderson County group — which included Nedwed, Jo Anne Forbes, Maggie Kant, Doug Owens, Terry Buettner and Joan Nyitray — was assigned to a shelter at Hopatcong High School in Hopatcong, N.J.
The shelter wasn't easy to find.
"When we first drove in, it was so dark," Nedwed said.
Not to mention that it was almost like navigating a maze, Buettner said. Almost every turn was met with downed power lines and trees. "You got the feeling you're entering a place that's kind of torn up," he said.
Once at the shelter, they were responsible for handing out blankets and managing the sleeping quarters.
Working from 4 p.m. till midnight every day, they interacted with children, parents and elderly people. Some who sought help were alone. Some had families.
"It was neighbor helping neighbor," Nedwed said. "What I saw was what a close community it was."
Nedwed said many of the people who came to the shelter were embarrassed at first to be seeking aid.
Hopatcong was not flattened like many of the communities struck by Hurricane Katrina, Buettner said.
"We weren't faced with devastation, people in the hospital or homes destroyed," Buettner said. "They knew it was just a matter of time before they go back."
At the peak, the shelter housed about 140 people, Buettner said. And in the final week of operation, the number of people in the shelter dropped from 80 to zero.
When the team left New Jersey on Tuesday, most Hopatcong residents had returned to their homes.
"By the day we left, it was a happy day," Buettner said.

A simple, timely message of love
Published: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 2:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 2:32 p.m.
On April 2, my 47-year-old wife and I drove to Alexandria to watch our son's college baseball games.
We walked one hundred yards from the parking lot to the ballpark, enjoyed the games and drove home afterward.
She was perfectly fine.
The next morning, she complained of shortness of breath and lack of energy.
On April 4, she was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and was scheduled to return to the doctor the following week for treatment.
On Saturday, her condition digressed, and she was sent to Oschner's pulmonary hypertension specialists.
She went from being able to walk 100 yards to the ballpark on Tuesday to not being able to lift her head off her pillow on Saturday.
Though not one medical professional there considered her condition to be critical, she died in my arms later that same afternoon.
My message to you is simple: Find the ones you love and love them — right now.
You simply never know when it may be the last time you have the opportunity to do so.

Rarely do small towns like Walla Walla, Wash., appear on the travel itinerary. And its a shame because some of America's small towns, while appearing pedestrian to the uninitiated, are actually hot pockets of outdoor fitness, eco and fashion hipness, historical awareness and gastric innovation.
Walla Walla sits in a sunny valley surrounded by rolling hills covered with dark green vineyards, and behind those hills stands the sublime Blue Mountain range. It almost looks like Tuscany. And it is quickly becoming a food and wine lover's dream destination.
What looks like smalltown USA from the outside looking in, with its plain-looking, 1920's-era frontier style architecture, is actually populated by cultural creatives from all over the country, in part thanks to Whitman College, but also because of the region's intense focus on winemaking and organic agriculture. And typically where there's good wine, good food follows.
In fact, Walla Walla was recently touted by Sunset Magazine for not only owning America's Best Main Street, but also for being one of Our Favorite Small-Town Foodie Haven's.
But it's not all about food and wine. Walla Walla is located on the Oregon Trail near the Washington and Oregon border, where the Whitman Mission National Historic site attracts thousands of visitors each year. A trip through the mission provides a deep education into a tragic and controversial story that you and your kids won't find in a textbook.
Marcus Whitman and his wife Narcissa established the mission in1836, and by 1847 they were both dead; Marcus took a Tomahawk to the head, while Narcissa was shot trying to escape what has become known as the Whitman Massacre, an act that prompted the Cayuse War. A seven-day pass to the Whitman Mission site is just $3.00, and 'kids' under 16 get in free .
Just a few miles West of the Whitman Mission is Walla Walla's spectacular new Wine Valley Golf Club. Draped across Eastern Washington's massive wind-swept dunes like a lonely emerald carpet, Wine Valley offers up traditional links golf in a beautiful setting. For a more detailed review of the course, and more photos click here.
Being surrounded by rivers and mountains, plus a warm, dry climate, Walla Walla is also ideal for outdoor adventure. To the west about 35 miles, the Snake River and Yakima River merge with the Columbia River near the Oregon border, and the massive convergance of water provides ample fishing and boating opportunities on the Columbia and its many tributaries.
And the Umatilla National Forest of the Blue Mountains, located to the east of Walla Walla, provide ample hiking, fishing, camping and cycling opportunities.
Walla Walla's Wine Wanderer
Flying Trout Winery is owned and operated by 27-year old Ashley Trout who originally came to Walla Walla from the East Coast to study at Whitman College, but started working in the town's wineries during her freshman year. She was hooked instantly on the winemaking process, and upon her graduation from Whitman had earned a better education working in the vineyards than she had studying liberal arts at the exclusive, private college.
During the summer after graduating, Trout was injured in a rock climbing accident and missed the crush (wine harvest) in Walla Walla, because of a three-month rehabilitation. The time off made her realize how much she missed working in the vineyards. When finally healthy, she moved to Argentina in time for its crush, and begain establishing relationships at every level of the Argentine winemaking business, just as she had done in Walla Walla. It helped that she was fluent in Spanish.
"I kept coming back year after year to work in the vineyards for the Argentine crush," she says. "After a while they realized I wasn't just slave labor and started teaching me their craft. I also met a lot of the university winemaking students and grad students at the discos, who are really the future of winemaking."
The climate in that area of Argentina is almost identical to the climate in the Columbia Valley. By establishing vines with similar grapes in two different hempispheres, Trout is unique, and calls her lust to make wine in both countries, a "fascinating bi-hemispherical terroir".
Her efforts in South America also allow Flying Trout to issue two releases per year, from two different parts of the world, all of which gets sold-out within three weeks of being released. It pays to be a member of Flying Trout's wine club.
Says Trout, "it's nice (selling out early) because I can go back to being a winemaker instead of a saleswoman."
What wasn't sold out during our visit were the Fyling Trout wines aging in barrels in the wearhouse situated behind Flying Trout's tasting room.
Drinking wine straight from the barrel should rank at the top of any list for 'things to do' in Walla Walla on a Friday afternoon, especially after a long bike ride. Even novice wine drinkers can learn to appreciate the subtle strawberry flavors still brewing in the 2008 Horse Heaven Hills Malbec, or the spicy, lingering flavor of apple that dominates the 2007 Rattlesnake Hills Malbec.

Where to Stay and What to Eat
The most distinguishing, and tallest building in Walla Walla is the Marcus-Whitman Hotel, located in the heart of downtown, just two blocks from Main Street. In 1999, local techonology enterpreneur Kyle Mussman (check out his sailing blog) bought the building, saving it from being destroyed and then pumping $33 million into the rennovation of the old Marcus-Whitman Hotel. In the process he revived the classic hotel to the point where it matches its glory days when the old Marcus-Whitman Hotel played host to guests like former President Dwight Eisenhower, after whom a suite is named on the seventh floor.
Filled with oak paneling and marble floors, the lobby of the hotel is dark and cool, and a serence contrast to Walla Walla's hot and sunny weather. What was once a hostel and designated for demolition is now a sophisticated space decorated in classic style, offering finely appointed and comfortable suites at reasonable rates, amazing customer service, and even an art collection on the third floor.
And then there's the food.
Upon request, the head chef of Marcus Whitman's The Marc restaurant, Hank "Bear" Ullman offer's his dinner guests a chance to sit at the ultra-cool Chef's Table. For $125 diners can eat at a table located in the kitchen, eating a custom-made five course meal that features locally grown and sourced produce and meats. The energy in The Marc's kitchen is lively, with the chef's working hard to please, and the off-the-menu food is off-the-charts good, making the experience worth the price tag.
The menu from our visit to the Chef's Table included: a first course of Oregon dungeness crab salad complete with orange and coriander finish; followed by a plate of wild Pacific troll-caught salmon, served on heirloom tomatoes and mizuna and topped with a tomato-saffron vinaigrette. Next to the salmon was grilled Oregon quail, presented over an English pea puree.
All of this was served alongside Flying Trout Winery's Torrontes.
Next came a palate cleansing salad of local greens and apples, dressed with meyer lemon and a meyer lemon vinagrette. According to Bear, "the acidic salad breaks up the rapid-fire protiens coming at you with something simple and crisp."
The third course, served with a local Syrah, took the dinner to the next level: Rocky Mountain buffalo filet on pâtes aux champignons, which consisted of locally sourced Buffalo tenderloin, served on top of a bed of bacon and a fois gras-wild mushroom pate. To top it off, two fried quail eggs, served over easy, were slipped between the bacon and the filet.
By the fourth course some of Bear's Chef's Table guests started slowing down and getting full, but Bear kept the heat on, rewarding the heavier eaters by breaking out a melt-in-your-mouth Anderson Ranch free-range roasted rack of lamb, served with Bing cherry chutney.
The fifth course was dessert, and a surprisingly tasty, and strategic selection — Rock Star energy drink sorbet with Bing cherries.
Bear's knowledgeable crew helps Chef's Table guests, and all diners at The Marc pair glasses, or bottles of wine for each course, so even wine-drinking amateurs have a chance to experience what a proper food and wine pairing tastes like.
"It all goes back to relationships, connections and taking care of people," says Bear. "I've been here for nine years now and have built fantastic relationships with the organic community and winemakers. We get asparagus the same morning it's cut, we trim our own micro greens as we need them, and I have a farmer that is willing to get up at 3:00 a.m. to go pick squash blossoms before the sun hits them, so to be successful with this kind of product, all you really have to do is not mess it up."
Ullman and The Marc certainly don't mess things up, in fact, the Marcus-Whitman's restaurant is spot on, just like the hotel.
Other restaurants worth checking out in Walla Walla include: the Saffron Mediterranean Grill, Whitehouse-Crawford, the Creekside Grill, and for breakfast the farmer's market located on 4th and Main Street, which takes place each Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. — 1:00 p.m. Not only are there good eats, for cheap, but typically a band and a friendly atmosphere that will make you forget your wine hangover.
Getting Around
Walla Walla's population is just over 30,000. It's a small town. Don't bother driving around. Instead, rent a bike from Allegro Cyclery. For $35 a day, Allegro will rent your bike of choice.
Jump on a comfy commuter bike, which will perform nicely on Walla Walla's flat streets, and then cruise the city's old neighborhoods at supersonic speeds, or take the bike trails leading out of town towards the surrounding vineyards. Allegro provides a Walla Walla bike trail map for reference.
Live the wine and food life like a Euro by renting a bike at Allegro! After a few quick laps around Walla Walla, you'll be glad you did.
Why Should You Visit Walla Walla?
The wine and food explosion currently happening in Walla Walla, and within the Tri-Cities area in general, is sure to attract more attention and tourist dollars to Walla Walla, which let's be honest, was struggling to find its identity twenty years ago. Now, its all about living close to the area's rich, wine and sweet onion producing soil; where the food that's consumed is grown next-door and picked that day, and where the vintners produce wines from vines that actually perculate with the distinctive flavors of strawberry, spicy pepper, grapefruit. basil, or plum.
The mountains and rivers that surround the city provide a plethora of outdoor adventure, and look inviting from a distance, a big contrast from the craggy Rocky and Cascade Mountain ranges. The golf in Walla Walla is championship-worthy, and the area is full of history lessons.
The vibe on Main Street Walla Walla is hometown cool — the candy shop is located in the perfect spot, right between the vintner's wine-tasting rooms — and the people in Walla Walla are super friendly, welcoming, and down to earth.
Teddy Roosevelt, explorer extrordinairre, once said Walla Walla left, ""the pleasantest impression upon my mind of any city I visited while in the Northwest."
When thinking about your next three-day weekend consider taking a trip to Walla Walla. But don't go unless you can get a room at the magnificent Marcus-Whitman Hotel.

In one of the most agonizing disconnects of the Bay Area's surging economy, far more people want to buy a home than want to sell one, making this the tightest housing market in the nation.
Would-be homebuyers are crowding into scarce open houses and battling for the few available, leading to rising prices, rapid sales -- many homes sell within a week -- and frustrated house hunters.
"This is the most sustained period of low inventory I've seen in 20 to 24 years," said Chris Trapani, head of the Sereno Group in Silicon Valley.
Many homeowners are still reeling from the housing bust and waiting for their homes to recover value before they sell. Others are afraid that if they sell, they won't find another home because of the shortage. Homeowners who refinanced at last year's low interest rates also may be happy to stay where they are.
At the same time, the Bay Area tech boom has heightened demand in the three tightest markets in the U.S. According to online real estate site Trulia, which tracks how inventory is keeping up with demand, the East Bay has the tightest supply, followed by the South Bay and the Peninsula, including San Francisco.
It could be a year or more before the market rights itself, Trapani said.
The limited market and high prices have pushed first-time homebuyers either to the outer fringes of the Bay Area or kept them renting even though rents are among the highest in the nation.
"For every six-figure software engineer, you have people working in the service industry, in restaurants and retail and living in very high-density situations or moving further out where there's affordable housing or rental housing," said Leslie Appleton-Young of the California Association of Realtors.
It would take less than two months to sell all the homes listed for sale in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, far below the six months that's considered a balanced market, according to the association. Alameda and Contra Costa counties are not much better off, at slightly more than two months.
There were 5,639 homes for sale in April, up from a low of 4,890 in 2013 but down 28 percent from April 2012, when 7,867 homes were on the market in the East Bay, Peninsula and South Bay, according to a ZipRealty analysis of listings.
"It's really a dire situation," said Doreen Roberts of Master Key Realty in Fremont. Roberts helped a young couple buy a house in Newark after they lost one to a bidding war that drew 26 offers and sold for $90,000 over the asking price.
"We definitely ran into a problem where there weren't many houses and a lot of people were bidding on them," said her client, Ken Taylor, a digital engineer with a tech firm in North San Jose. Taylor and his wife, April Burton, a freelance graphic artist, looked at houses for a month without finding much.
"We would spend a full day and see six or seven houses, but that was all the houses in our price range that were on the market," said Taylor. "A lot of them had interesting problems with permits and occupants we didn't want to deal with."
When a three-bedroom, two-bath home in Newark came on the market, they grabbed it for $575,000 -- $20,000 over asking price -- and gave the sellers three weeks' free rent. "We accepted that because that's just how it is," he said.
In such a competitive market, prices have mushroomed and created "a crisis of affordability," said David Stark, public affairs director of the Bay East Association of Realtors. "It's hard to find your next home, which makes you reluctant to put your home on the market."
Prices of single-family homes were up 17.1 percent in April from the previous year across the Bay Area, according to DataQuick. The Bay Area has the two metropolitan areas -- San Jose and San Francisco -- with the highest median home prices in the nation.
John and Tracy Timble watched their neighbor's Pleasant Hill home sell for $100,000 over the asking price of $650,000 three months ago, and decided the time was ripe to sell and move out of the area.
They listed their home -- which had a pool, better location and a view their neighbor's home didn't have -- for $780,000 and waited at a Starbucks while their agent, Laura Wucher of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate in Contra Costa County, took offers.
"We had two separate cash offers in addition to four other offers," Timble said. "We couldn't believe it. We received the first cash offer for $850,000 and we were just ecstatic." The final winning bid was for $880,000.
Although inventory is still low, it is increasing with the summer home buying season, and that may ease some of the pressure.
But some of that recent inventory growth may be because owners are overpricing their homes and those homes are not selling. Sales of single-family homes dropped 5.5 percent in April from the previous year across the nine-county Bay Area, according to real estate information service DataQuick.
The recent increase in inventory "is not providing a lot of relief in the market in part because you do have some overpriced listings," said Appleton-Young of the California Association of Realtors. "That tends to happen at this stage in a cycle."
There are plenty of reasons why potential sellers are keeping their homes off the market.
Some are behaving like investors with a hot stock, trying to "time the market" by holding onto their properties in the hope of selling at the peak, said Don Cruz Datanagan, East Bay manager for ZipRealty.
"There are people now who sold their house a year ago, and who saw the appreciation go up 20-plus percent since then," he said. "They're already wishing they hadn't."
Others are holding back because they're worried that they'll end up as renters, unable to find their next home.
"It's a musical chairs situation, and they don't want to be one stuck without a chair," said Svenja Gudell, director of economic research at online real estate site Zillow.
And some have a low-interest rate mortgage from refinancing in the past couple of years. That makes it cheaper to stay in place, and has many homeowners putting their move-up plans aside and improving the homes they live in.
"We call it 'improve-not-move,'" said Kelly Kockos, Wells Fargo's national senior vice president for equity lending. "In the home equity business, we love that."
Kabir Chahal, and his wife, Labina Patel, who work at Silicon Valley tech companies, want to move but are reluctant to part with a mortgage with a low interest rate.
They bought their Almaden Valley home three years ago for $800,000, refinanced at 3.875 percent. They could sell for about $1 million, Chahal said, but the houses they might consider buying are priced at $1.1 million to $1.2 million, and there aren't many available that they really like.
"We are going to keep looking, but both me and my wife realize we are not going to get so lucky this time around," said Chahal. "If things don't work out, we're not going to overpay."

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A Paine College student is accused of having a gun in his dorm room.
School public safety officers arrested Tobias Veal Saturday and charged him with having a weapon on school property.
According to the incident report, Veal and his ex-girlfriend, Jasmine Clark, were having an argument at the dorm. At first, Veal said she pointed a gun at him when he opened the door to confront her. Investigators say he later recanted that statement.
A resident adviser at the dorm became aware of the situation and called campus security. They arrived and questioned Veal about having a Smith and Wesson 9-mm pistol. Investigators say at first Veal wouldn't let them in his dorm room, but the RA was able to use a master key to get in. Officers say he willingly gave up the weapon when asked.
He was taken to the Public Safety Office and then booked into the Richmond County Jail.
Paine College Vice President Brandon Brown says Veal has been expelled for violating the school's weapons policy.

John Darling">
Patty Farrell, a retired law-enforcement officer, has started a "virtual walk" across the country, logging four or five miles a day around Ashland and using a highway tour book to tick off her progress on a simulated route from San Francisco to New York.
Currently making her way through "Nevada," Farrell says the 2,923-mile game is "a way to motivate me and keep track of what I do."
She plugs her GPS into her computer, and software tallies it all up for her.
Why walking? It's the aesthetics of it: "the sights, smells, interesting things you run into and how good I feel afterward — the energy!" she says.
Taking off from her home near Helman Elementary School, Farrell has maps in her mind of which routes add up to three, four or five miles.
On top of the sheer pleasure she gets from walking, Farrell notes it keeps fat off while toning and firming calves, quadriceps and glutes. From her Pilates and walking instructors, she's learned to emphasize swinging the arms (shoulder muscles get tight if you don't swing them) and rotating the torso. She also learned that if you exaggerate lifting the knees, it prevents stress on the ligaments and joints of the hips.
"In winter, I start out in the dark and walk in the street to avoid dogs, bikes and stuff on sidewalks," she says. "I do a different route each time so I don't get bored. I get to see the cows, chickens and wildlife and say hi to the deer. When I moved into my house, walking and seeing other homes was a great source of ideas for landscaping and house colors."
The wet and cold of winter are a deterrent, she admits, but she tries to keep at it, using it as a meditation time for clearing her mind.
"I just go out the front door and decide the route as I go along. The Greenway is near, so I often go along the creek there."
Farrell knocks off 15-minute miles, so her pace is aerobic. She takes about an hour for each jaunt. At that rate, she still can carry on a conversation while walking.
As she told her story, she was just leaving Reno, Nev., headed into Sparks, Nev., on her virtual, cross-country tour. At five miles a day, she should be pulling into virtual New York in 580 days — sometime in the summer of 2014.
Where to then? She will decide when she gets to New York.

So I've got a question about half marathon training, but let me first give a little bit of background info. I'm 28 years old and I just started running about 3 months ago, have already completed three 5k races (with improved times), and run about 4 times per week currently. My long runs are up to about 6-7 miles, which I do once per week. I combine this with either a hill or speed workout, and two shorter runs. The half marathon I'm training for (which is my first) is not until the end of April. I've looked online at 12, 16 an 20 week training programs, but all of them don't get into the milage I'm at currently for the long runs until several weeks in.
My question is this - do I continue increasing the mileage on my long runs now and cap off at a certain number and then bring it down to the 4-5 mile long runs at the beginning of a training program, or do I keep increasing mileage if my body feels fine with it up to 12 miles per long run? For example, since I'm almost 6 months out from the race, should I keep increasing it until I hit let's say 12 miles and do that each week until the taper, or should I stick to one of the programs that has me decreasing my mileage at the start and building back up again?
I apologize if it's a stupid question, I'm just concerned about pushing it too much by going 12 miles on my long runs for a while, but I'm also afraid of having to build my mileage back up again when I'm already there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I'm training for my first half marathon as well, and I had a long training time to work into as well. I extended the early portions of the training regimen (ran week 1 for 3 weeks, week 2 for 2 weeks, etc.) I'm now 4 weeks out from my race and right on schedule with my training. I'll run a 12-miler two weeks out, then taper, and run the 13.1 on Dec. 1.
I'm no expert, but my advise would be to stick with what you are doing now until about 8-10 weeks out from your race, then pick up the training at the level you are at now.
I was also thinking that we have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years coming up, so chances are you are going to struggle to even stay at 6 miles through the cold weather and the onslaught of high-calorie foods! I would consider looking at January 1st as my "real" training start date, and work from there.
Again, I'm no expert, as I've only been running for about 8 months, but that makes sense to me in my head, and the voices in there agree with me.
Good luck!
I would not decrease from the mileage that you are already doing for the LR schedule and it sounds like you are also working in some tempo runs and other training. There really would be no benefit to starting over just to follow a beginning training guide when you have already advanced.
You also have plenty of time to complete some 10k races before the half and those should be of great assistance in overall preparation.
In general, you should do great with ten miles (80% of your maximum effort) for long runs, but it also depends on your comfort level. See how things are progressing in the coming months, so if you feel more confident by adding a few miles just prior to the taper, that should also be mostly a personal choice.
Congrats and wishing you all the best!
Thank you both for your replies! That's good advice about the holidays coming up - knowing me, I'll be intaking a lot of comfort foods! What I think I will do is keep my long runs at around 6-8 miles for the next 2-3 months to build a base, so that by February, it won't feel difficult.
I do also like the idea of running some 10k races in preparation. Although my main goal is just to finish the half, my other goal would be to complete it in under 2 hours, so those races could give me an early indication on my time. I will more than likely try to incorporate a training program to where I'm at when I get to it. I'm really looking forward to the challenge! Thanks again!

Never miss another 'The Primitives' show
Lovely 25th Anniversary: The Primitives
The Primitives will be performing the songs from their debut album 'Lovely' in September to mark the album's 25th anniversary.
There will also be a 2CD deluxe edition reissue of 'Lovely' released on Cherry Red Records in the summer.
The Primitives
Probably best known for their 1988 top 5 hit 'Crash', The Primitives reunited in their hometown of Coventry at the end of 2009, to pay homage to Steve Dullaghan, the group's original bassist. The success of their performance and the public's positive response after more than 17 years away from the spotlight led them to do a UK tour in April 2010 and to play a few shows in Europe and the US. Fast forward to 2012 and their new album, 'Echoes and Rhymes', ranges from garage to psychedelia, with touches of soul and sunshine pop, multiple styles come together in a special compilation of obscure female-fronted songs from the sixties, revisited with all the love and affection and energy of The Primitives.

Topic: A poem for my dad on father's day
I was struggling with today, the first father's day since my dad passed away in February. I didn't know what to do. Unfortunately, i'm stuck on call all day for my job and had to get up at 3am this morning to support our systems (I work in IT). So i found a few extra minutes and wrote this about him. I feel good about it. I love you, Dad.
AND happy fathers day to all the rest of you dads out there, and those of your who have lost your dads too....may this day not suck too much.
Thanks for letting me share...maybe someday I will put some music to this...
I looked for you in the stars tonight
But didn
I love you, Daddy.
