As a former Washoe County Library Board member, including two terms as Chair, I was surprised to learn that the eLearning Cafe is still seeking to take over a portion of the Incline Branch Library under the guise of allowing the library to remain open additional hours.
Our library currently provides not only a collection of books and materials, augmented by the resources of collections throughout Washoe County, but also a safe and suitable place for programs, community meetings and studying. Its limited hours reflect the across-the-board cuts Washoe County has made in many services.
In April of 2011, I met with Kathryn Kelly about this issue, along with then-Commissioner John Breternitz, Library Director Arnie Maurins, Branch Manager Pam Rasmussen and Mr. Jim Clark. At that time, Commissioner Breternitz raised the issue of gifting public funds; that is, ceding space in a building constructed and operated at taxpayer expense, to a private entity.
I subsequently invited Ms. Kelly to educate herself about public-private partnerships and about operations in our library. The library manager proffered an invitation to the eLearning Cafe to participate in the Tahoe Library Coalition.
While the eLearning Cafe has a place in our community, its efforts to obtain what amounts to free rent at taxpayer expense has already caused an inordinate expenditure of time and energy by the library staff, the Library Board, and the county legal department.
Last week's Bonanza article illustrates that Ms. Kelly continues to have little understanding about the staffing needed to operate Incline library: the intricacies of mounting exhibits and conducting programs, the day-to-day tasks involved in managing a library staff and collection, the value of research assistance, the role of support staff and volunteers.
The Library Board receives periodic reports about volunteer contributions and appreciates that our library lacks the time, funding and staff to train and manage additional volunteers. Currently, volunteers constitute the lifeblood that helps keep books and a material shelved and in order, comprehends library standards and services and conveys an adult presence.
Our community understands that the library enterprise requires librarians and support staff, in addition to volunteers, to maintain the level of service we need and expect.

On our Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast website there is a mouth-watering image of a cake with fresh fruit and a drizzle of whipped cream. Since I get a lot of comments on this photo, I thought I would share the recipe with everyone. This cake is moist, rich and bright.
Orange Poppy Seed Cake with Fruit Salad
Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Sift together and set aside:
3 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Cream together:
3/4 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
About 2 T. zest from 2 oranges
1/3 c. poppy seeds
5 eggs (room temp), one at a time
1/2 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. fresh orange juice
1 tsp. vanilla
Add flour mixture and buttermilk mixture to butter mixture alternately, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55 minutes. Let cool on wire rack 20 minutes; remove from pan and let cool completely.
Combine in saucepan and simmer until syrupy:
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. orange juice
Brush glaze over cake.
Serve with fresh fruit – a combination of berries or a variety of citrus.
Add a little sugar and a splash of orange liqueur.
Chill until ready to serve.
When serving don't forget to add a dollop of freshly whipped cream or vanilla yogurt.
Would love to hear your results.
I'll look forward to seeing you soon,

ALAMEDA -- In the wake of Penn State's Jerry Sandusky scandal, the football program had been put through the wringer: scholarship and financial penalties, bowl game bans, transfers galore. No one gave the once-storied Nittany Lions any chance for success.
In other words, it was a situation made for Raiders rookie quarterback Matt McGloin.
"It played right into his underdog story," said Penn State tackle Eric Shrive, a college and high school teammate of McGloin's in Scranton, Pa. "We knew we were in a tough situation, but we weren't going to be anybody's charity case.
"People didn't think we were any good, and Matt was going out there to prove he was the best quarterback in the Big Ten."
McGloin led the Nittany Lions to an 8-4 record under coach Bill O'Brien to help keep the program afloat.
Tennessee Titans coach Mike Munchak, a Penn State alum raised in Scranton, praised McGloin in a conference call for "being a big part in holding that place together in one of the biggest years in Penn State history."
A year later, McGloin is attempting to resuscitate the fortunes in Oakland with a franchise on its 15th starting quarterback since 2004.
In leading the Raiders to a 28-23 win over Houston, and throwing three touchdown passes in his starting debut, McGloin surprised just about everybody except those who have witnessed his magic before in Scranton or State College, Pa.
The quarterback who wasn't invited to the NFL scouting combine and not selected in the draft gets another shot Sunday when the Raiders (4-6) face the Titans (4-6) at O.co Coliseum in a battle between two teams on the outer fringe of the wild-card race.
"The mindset I've always had is that I never took a back seat to anybody," McGloin said. "I really don't look at who is ahead of me on the depth chart or behind me. I figure each day is a chance to get better, improve as a leader. Now that I'm starting, that hasn't changed."
McGloin beat out an incumbent quarterback as a sophomore at West Scranton High, beating a Crestwood team with a 25-game win streak in his varsity debut. He would go on to win two district championships. He was also the star of the baseball and basketball teams, serving as a pitcher, infielder and point guard.
"He was the guy throwing the touchdown pass, making the big shot or hitting the home run, and his attitude was always the same," Shrive said. "He had that chip on his shoulder where he'd think, "You don't think I'm good enough? Then just watch.' "
At 6-foot-1, McGloin was considered a Division I-AA prospect at best and was under the radar in part because of Raiders teammate Terrelle Pryor, who was the nation's top recruit and played in the same state at Jeannette High.
While Penn State awaited word on Pryor (who eventually went to Ohio State), McGloin accepted an invitation as a preferred walk-on.
McGloin's father, Paul McGloin, asked Matt what he would do if Pryor came to Penn State.
"He said, 'I'd wish him luck,' " Paul McGloin Sr. said, "then I'll go out there and show people what I can do.' "
Other more decorated quarterbacks came and went, but it was McGloin who ended up a two-year starter, completing 57.4 percent of his passes for 6,390 yards and 46 touchdowns.
McGloin's performance against Houston enhanced his legend in Scranton, a blue collar community that supports its own with a fervor bordering on fanatical.
When Scranton native Gerry McNamara played basketball at Syracuse, it took 50 buses to bring the town's well-wishers to the Carrier Dome for his senior night in 2006. Two of the kids on the bus were Shrive and McGloin, later high school and college teammates.
Paul and Cathy McGloin have owned and operated a Main Street Floral shop in Scranton for 34 years. All week, people have honked, waved and come in to the shop to talk about Matt.
During a meal at a diner on Mike Munchak Way in Scranton, Cathy McGloin said in a phone interview the community reaction has been overwhelming.
"It's been crazy," Cathy McGloin said. "People stop us in church and the grocery store. Everybody is waving, beeping the horn. Two nice people just stopped to say congratulations to my son. This is what Scranton's all about."
The McGloins opened their doors to as many friends as they could cram into their house to watch the Raiders-Texans game on NFL Ticket.
"Everyone was screaming, kissing, giving high-fives, jumping up and down," Cathy McGloin said.
Paul McGloin said Matt owes much of his competitive nature to his older brothers, Paul Jr. and John. Each brother is separated by seven years, with Paul Jr. old enough at 14 to change his baby brother's diapers when Matt was born.
The brothers never took it easy on Matt.
"My mother used to yell at us all the time, 'Can't you let him win just once?' " John McGloin said. "We'd say, 'Absolutely not. He's never going to learn if you think that way.' "
Said Paul McGloin Jr.: "I used to say he was competitive to a fault. If I beat him in basketball, he wouldn't talk to me for a few hours."
The McGloin brothers still send Matt near-daily reminders about dedication and focus.
"He's to the point now where he'll sass back and answer, "Hey, I'm working! You don't need to tell me that,' " John McGloin said.
Paul McGloin Jr., a scout for the New York Yankees, has talked often with Matt about his mental approach and said, "I don't think he steps back and looks at the magnitude of the situation and what it means."
Raiders center Stefen Wisniewski played with McGloin for three years at Penn State and said he's the same guy in an NFL huddle as he was in college.
"He was always so confident -- so confident we joked about how confident he was," Wisniewski said. "That's the way he handles himself. Players love him. He's everything you want in a quarterback."
Tennessee (4-6) at Raiders
(4-6), 1:05 p.m. CBS
Matt McGloin personifies confidence: "The mindset I've always had is that I never took a back seat to anybody,"

Hi guys,
I'm considering changing my strategy this year. I hunt public land only and I have to schlep all of my gear in and out with me on foot. I'm considering switching to a layout blind, but I'd like one that works well for walk in ops. No tailgate drops or outboard props here fellas. Of course any commentary is welcome, but I'd specifically like to hear what blind you have actually hunted and what you think about it. Thanks in advance for the help.
Good luck and happy hunting,

Same boat as you. I own two that are frameless. That is the key. Not as roomy but framed blinds will be at least 14-18 lbs while your frame less blinds are about 10. I have the cabelas mobile 1 and avery power hunter. Perfect for walking a mile and and have ducks land at your feet well everyone else isnt having any luck. With the drought we have been in the past 2 seasons I wouldnt recommend any other way

I've been doing some research and so far the Cabela's Northern Flight Ultimate is the clear favorite on paper. I'm going to drop by the local store in the next week or two to put some hands on one and see if it'll suit my needs. I'll have to consider if it'll allow me to carry a dozen blocks, a gun, and a dog blind as well. I'll post the results of my visit on here after I go.
I'm still open to other ideas if anyone else has them.
Good luck and happy hunting,

I have Avery Power hunters ( 3 ) all the guys that hunt with me use them. Easily hid even in short stubble and light enough to pack in longer distances. I don't know if I would want to pack one in a mile with dekes etc. You will have to pair down weight somewhere. The only thing I don't like about them for ducks is the cover restricts your view enough so I miss opportunities on them(ducks) occasionally. I like the Finisher there because of the unrestricted view(too heavy and bulky for you to pack in) With geese its not an issue cause you can usually hear them coming, I still peak a lot though. Good luck Joe

Scott, not sure of the terrain you gotta cover in your trek but have you considered one of those two wheeled folding carts that folks haul out deer with?
In the service we had a saying when deciding what not to pack "Ounces equals pounds, and pounds equals pain".
Thats why I thought about the deer hauler carts for hunting. Cabelas has one in their catalog and Ive considered the idea when thinking of hauling gear in on foot. I was thinking of takin my framed layout blind and putting my dekes and gear bag inside it, then wheeling it across the fields on properties where we can't drive in to setup. It looks like it folds in half, so it could be hidden in a hedgerow or similar place to hide it when hunting.
Just a thought.

this is when duck hunting gets to be ridiculous. Too much gear on a long walk in/out can make for a miserable time. I've done it several times. If its absolutely necessary, you definitely want to go with the lightest blind you can find. I've used the Avery Powerhunter for this occasion several times, and it seems to be the best option as far as price goes.
The deer cart idea is a great thought, one I've considered several times, just never have taken the time to do it. I think in the long run, you'll be happier spending more money and purchasing one of those things, rather than packing in a blind, decoys, dog blind, gun, shells, and whatever else is in your game bag.

you dont want the ultimate. 18 pound blind that folds up like crap and depending on which yr model yours is might only have 1 strap. same design as the elite and my buddy is 6'5" and he hates it. Hits the back of his legs the whole time. If your walking far you want frameless. Not as much room but super light weight

Alex Hilburn (10/17/2013)
this is when duck hunting gets to be ridiculous. Too much gear on a long walk in/out can make for a miserable time.
Unfortunately this is the world I hunt in. Water levels are very low in N.Texas and, without a boat, we are often relegated to hunting patches of shoreline with only knee high grass for cover. We can assemble brush blinds from dead wood and grass on site, but for all of that effort, you may as well pack in something with a much lower profile. I still have to pack in decoys, folding stool, a machete, some form of concealment for the dog, shells, etc. You can see where this all goes. Eliminating the decoy sack, stool, and construction/demolition equipment sort of counterbalances the weight of the blind (assuming you can also use it as a pack).
I did buy a cart. Should have just bought a blind. The darned thing weighs a ton and doesn't balance a load well at all. It seems that the handle end is too short and the load won't leverage properly without me having to drag it with my hands a knee level. This is, of course, to say nothing about what happens when the narrow wheels and heavy cart hit a patch of soft soil or mud. I tried several configurations. No dice. I have determined that this approach is not the solution for me.
Upon consideration, I believe I agree that the Ultimate is too heavy and bulky. I'll look into the other suggestions provided. In the mean time, I found something interesting. The Hardcore Run-and Gunner may be the answer to my problem. Light, simple, performs double duty as a decoy sack and blind. It doesn't look too long on comfort, but it looks like it fits the bill as a walk in hunter's solution to the above listed problems.
Good luck and happy hunting,

Super manly man antique items that would not suit ill in any type of accommodation. Mostly found in man caves, bachelor pads or any room that is designated as 'lost' in the eyes of the (possible) wife/cohabiting partner. Mantiques can appear in the form of globe bars, a knight's suit of armor, old stuff made from leather, old typewriters/camera's (preferably cased in leather), a bronze bull, a military lantern/or bell and dead trophy animals in any form or shape.

a mantique is an older man who is still extremely attractive. Another version would be the grantique, who is an extremely old man, who is still cute.

Each type of paper is treated to work optimally with your printer's ink to create the most vivid image possible so selecting the right paper to use is an essential piece of the equation. Read on to learn more about how to choose the paper best suited for your needs and reap the benefits in both quality and longevity of your prints.
To start, what is it you are looking to do?

Paper Terminology
Here are a few terms you will need to know while searching for the right paper to help you produce photo lab quality prints right at home.
High Gloss
Delivers a "studio finish" with the most vivid colors, an outstanding contrast of light and dark, and high durability. With this finish you may experience glares
in certain lighting situations and fingerprints similar to the glossy finish. High Gloss paper is frequently used by professionals and photography students.
Offers tremendous color range, resolution and durability. With this finish you may experience glares
in certain lighting situations and fingerprints. The most practical uses for these Glossy prints are portfolios, photo albums and other displays behind plastic.
This finish is designed to not show those pesky lighting reflections or fingerprints you often see on glossy prints. With less dynamic range
and contrast of colors than all of
the other photo papers. Great for scrapbooking projects, bulletin boards, cards and invitations.
Offers a great compromise between
a Matte and Glossy finish. Helps to reduce issues with glare, dust and fingerprints. Durability (paper weight/ thickness) typically falls right in the middle. Great for your everyday
picture frames and ideal for those
with a matte border.
Commonly ranked on a scale of 1-100, with 100 being the brightest option.
The brighter and whiter your paper is the lighter your prints will be; a duller paper will produce more muted tones/darker images.
Refers to the durability of your paper and the amount of ink it is designed to hold without compromising the integrity of the document. Thinner/Lighter is ideal for quick prints, typography, rough drafts, etc. Thicker/Heavier is more commonly found in papers meant for photos, scrapbooking, crafts, etc.
Superb for that gallery quality, high-end printing, this type of finish has very "canvas like" quality.
Ideal for printing projects that are heavy in typography, have definitive shapes, or have a high contrast of black and white. Designed to help your colors stay in place and to be less susceptible to spreading and mixing, also known as "bleeding," delivering a more crisp and vivid picture.

Winter meetings start with Hall of Fame vote
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The baseball winter meetings are starting with a look back. Joe Torre, Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox were among the candidates considered Sunday by the Hall of Fame's expansion era committee. The trio of retired managers was joined on the 12-man ballot by a pair of much-debated figures who died in recent years: New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and pioneering players' union head Marvin Miller.

Once again, the supporters of Obama make a trashy remark while defending our indefensible president.
While complaining about how Mitt Romney and his supporters have taken Obama's statement "You did not build that" out of context, Juan Williams referred to Mitt Romney as "Your Boy" when talking to Dana Perino on the television show "The Five."
The look in Dana Perino's eyes said it all. Not only would that connotation be racially offensive to our president, but is offensive to me and most others when referring to a major political figure.
Is this just another excusable "out of context remark" made by our liberal democratic machine? No, once again it is a nasty tasteless remark used to defend the un-American ideology and destructive policies of President Obama.

Today: Intel (INTC) expands on statement that it will reduce workforce, stock declines after chipmaker discloses profit and revenue declines in 2013 and forecasts little change in 2014.
The Lead: Intel stock falls after chipmaker confirms layoffs, stagnant 2014 forecast
Intel said Friday that it would cut about 5 percent of its workforce in 2014, an announcement that arrived one day after the Santa Clara chipmaker detailed a financial decline in 2013 that is not expected to improve this year.
During a conference call Thursday evening to discuss the company's financial results, Chief Financial Officer Stacy Smith disclosed that Intel would be "bringing down employment" in 2014; the company went into greater detail Friday, confirming with Mercury News reporter Steve Johnson that it would be shedding about 5 percent of its global workforce of 107,000 employees, or about 5,350 workers.
While confirming the cuts, Intel spokesman Chris Kraeuter would not disclose more information about them Friday, such as where they would occur, saying only that Intel is "realigning and refocusing our resources" in response to the evolving chip market.
In an interview Thursday evening with Barron's, Smith also avoided giving more detail about Intel's job cuts, instead focusing on "shifting of investment."
"We have a long history of redeployment of resources, and we will be making significant new investments in data center, and tablets and low-power (systems on a chip) and the Internet of things," Smith said.
Intel has long focused on the personal-computer market, which reportedly suffered its largest declines in history in 2013. Silicon Valley PC stalwart Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is also undergoing a large round of job cuts, increasing the total by 5,000 at the end of 2013 for a total reduction of 34,000 in a time frame of a little more than two years, ending in October 2014.
Despite HP's layoffs, Bay Area job growth seemed strong in 2013, with additions growing toward the end of the year. In the first seven months of the year, the Bay Area added an average of 2,400 jobs a month, but that average grew to 10,400 a month in the past four months for which data has been provided by the state's Employment Development Department, a period that ends in November. December figures are due to be released later this month.
Intel shares declined 2.6 percent to $25.85 Friday, with shares receiving a noticeable bump in the last hour of the session, after the layoff news became public. Investors still kept the price higher than the level Intel traded at for much of the second half of 2013, as analysts attempted to parse the company's earnings report, which showed revenues and profits declined in 2013 and predicted a similar performance in 2014.
Analysts were not eager to drastically change their ratings or price targets on Intel after getting a look at the company's financials, instead using the information to underscore their previous assessment of the company, whether bull or bear.
JPMorgan's Christopher Danely, who took a "leap of faith" in the PC market earlier this week while upgrading Intel and boosting his price target on the chipmaker's stock, stuck to his guns Friday and bumped his price target up another dollar to $30.
"One of the reasons we upgraded Intel was due to our belief that its new CEO would provide realistic guidance, and we believe its conservative outlook adds credence," Danely wrote.
Bernstein Research analyst Stacy Rasgon, meanwhile, stuck to his "Underperform" rating and $18 price target, writing that Intel's report and conference call offered "very little to defuse the structural bear thesis, but did have plenty of fodder to begin sowing doubt on the bullish enthusiasm that has collected around the stock as of late."
SV150 market report: Stocks fall, but Electronic Arts and Twitter gain
Wall Street indexes tumbled Friday, and SIlicon Valley stock suffered even more as Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) joined Intel in declines. Not all the news was bad, however, as Electronic Arts (ERTS) skyrocketed higher and Twitter gained despite the loss of an important executive.
EA jumped 11.9 percent to $24.10 after good news on game sales as well as video game hardware sales, and an upgrade from CRT Capital. NPD Group reported Friday morning that video-game hardware sold at its highs level in three years in December, thanks to the introduction of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, which portends well for future sales from Redwood City-based EA. The company is already realizing profits from that move, as its "Battlefield 4" offering hit No. 2 on the video game charts in December, according to NPD. CRT analyst Neil Doshi wrote that EA should continue to realize strong sales, with the upcoming World Cup boosting its "FIFA" line of soccer games, as well as another title releasing soon. "Video game stocks trade on game slates, and we believe that EA has one of the most highly anticipated games coming out at the end of March, 'Titanfall,'" he wrote.
Twitter's roller-coaster ride on Wall Street headed back up after Stifel Nicolaus initiated coverage with a "Buy" rating and $75 price target, with analyst Jordan Rohan writing, "Twitter is the most powerful, flexible, and disruptive of the social media platforms." Twitter's gains settled down in the afternoon, however, after its vice president of products announced he was leaving the company, leading to a 2.6 percent gain to $62.20. Other prominent social-networking companies were not as fortunate, as Facebook dropped 1.6 percent to $56.30 and LinkedIn fell 4.6 percent to $219.93.
The SV150 declined at a faster rate than larger indexes as its most valuable company, Apple, declined 2.5 percent to $540.67 as the iPhone launched on the world's largest wireless carrier. Google sank 0.5 percent to $1,150.53 after announcing late Thursday that it will offer a connected contact lens that measures wearers' glucose levels. Yahoo (YHOO) fell 0.8 percent to $40.01 while reportedly seeking new board members in the wake of the costly dismissal of the Sunnyvale company's chief operating officer. Redwood City cleantech company Silver Spring Networks plummeted 24.7 percent to $17.69 after preannouncing a big earnings miss, and other cleantech companies regressed after Thursday's big gains: Tesla Motors (TSLA) fell 0.6 percent to $170.01, SolarCity declined 2.2 percent to $75.11 and SunPower (SPWRA) dropped 3.3 percent to $33.99.
Up: EA, NetApp, Twitter, Yelp, Salesforce, SanDisk, Juniper, HP, Symantec, Gilead, Splunk, Zynga, Intuit
Down: LinkedIn, AMD, SunPower, Intel, Apple, SolarCity, Pandora, Workday, Facebook, VMware, eBay (EBAY), Yahoo, Tesla, Netflix (NFLX), Google, Applied Materials, Nvidia, Adobe
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies: Down 13.34, or 0.87 percent, to 1,522.87
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Down 21.11, or 0.5 percent, to 4,197.58
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Down 41.55, or 0.25 percent, to 16,458.56
And the widely watched Standard & Poor's 500 index: Down 7.19, or 0.39 percent, to 1,838.7

Ansonia rolls as Newsome runs into the record book
ANSONIA — In a game that drew the entire state's eyes, Arkeel Newsome dropped jaws around the state.
Ansonia's senior running back became Connecticut's all-time leading rusher Thursday night by running for 388 yards and six touchdowns as he led his No. 1-ranked Chargers to a 56-21 rout of Masuk before an estimated 1,500 fans at Jarvis Stadium.
"I definitely wanted it tonight," Newsome said. "There was a lot of talk before the game of people telling me that I had to get the record tonight. I was like, 'I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to do it.'
Unlike the list of all-time leading rushers, there is no list of all-time prettiest runs. Newsome became the leader in both of those categories in the second half.
With Ansonia (6-0) holding a comfortable 34-14 lead over Masuk (4-2) at the beginning of the third quarter, Newsome needed just 43 yards to break former Ansonia great Alex Thomas' all-time state record of 8,279 yards. He decided to dissipate all the drama in just 20 seconds.
Newsome, who ran for 248 yards and four touchdowns in the first half, took the
See ANSONIA, Page 11B
opening handoff of the third from his own 47-yard line. He tried to run left and ran into his own blocker, but a Newsome run is never finished until his knees are on the ground. He reversed field and hit the right sideline, turning on his unrivaled speed and jetting into the end zone for the record-breaker.
"You didn't know in your lifetime if you'd ever see that record broken," said Ansonia coach Tom Brockett, who also coached Thomas in 2006 and 2007. "Never did we think that a couple years later we'd be standing here. They both broke it on great touchdown runs. There are so many similarities (between them)."
Chargers right guard Antone Mack was one of Newsome's lead blockers on the historic run.
"He's a once-in-a-lifetime player," Mack said. "You don't get a lot of chances to play with a guy like this. You just have to soak it up and enjoy it as much as you can."
Four Ansonia plays after Newsome set the record, he put together one of the most impressive runs of his incomparable career. With the ball at the Ansonia 34, he took a handoff from Jai'Quan McKnight and started up between the tackles. He weaved his way between Masuk defenders to follow his teammates' blocks before he hit the right sideline, where he withstood two hits inside the 20-yard line to make it into the end zone.
"If you watch him every Friday, that's Arkeel Newsome," Brockett said. "He's heard a lot that he can't do it against a big school or a two-platoon defense, and all that stuff. He's one tough hombre. I've heard people say that he can only run outside. I don't know what they watch."
McKnight sprinted down field after handing the ball to Newsome and made one of the blocks that helped seal the edge.
"We feed off his energy," McKnight said. "He's a tremendous back and an all-around athlete. He can cut it anywhere he wants. His vision is crazy."
That run was his last of the night. In all, he carried 25 times for 388 yards and six touchdowns to give him 8,377 yards and 145 touchdowns in his career.
In the first half, Newsome sprung touchdown runs of 28, 18, 46 and 11 yards. But the game wasn't all roses for the UConn-bound back. He fumbled at his own 35 with less than three minutes to play in the half, a turnover which allowed Masuk's Malik Cummings to hit Trevor Kollman for the pair's second touchdown hookup of the night and make it a 28-14 game.
That didn't sit well with Newsome. He made up for his mistake, taking six carries for 184 yards and three touchdowns after coughing up the ball.
"I know I have to continue to play hard after fumbles," Newsome said. "I just need to get them out of my mind."
Maybe not totally out of his mind, though.
"He was angry," Brockett said. "He came over and said, 'I'll take care of it.'"
He took care of it, that Newsome kid. Now the kid is the state's rushing king.

SAN JOSE -- Defenseman Dan Boyle said Friday he wants to be back with the Sharks for next season and beyond, adding that he believes he can be "part of the solution" as the team tries to rebound from the most gut-wrenching playoff series loss in franchise history.
The 37-year-old Boyle, who made $6.66 million this past season and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent July 1, said he has expressed to the Sharks that he would like to be back in San Jose in the fall. But he added that he has not gotten an indication from the Sharks as to whether they want him back.
"I like it here, of course. Then again, there are two sides to it," said Boyle, who is in the last year of his contract that paid him $40 million over six years. "They've got to want me back, so we'll see how it plays out. I don't have anything to go on right now. I believe I'm part of the solution and not part of the problem moving forward. We'll see what happens."
Sharks general manager Doug Wilson did not want to publicly address specific players Friday, said he first needed to meet with members of the team.
"We lost, and the responsibility is shared amongst all of us. It starts with me," Wilson said, adding that coach Todd McLellan, "talked about some of the issues that he saw and he felt. It's what before who. We'll get to who soon enough."
Boyle said he would like to play more than one more year.
"I understand where I'm at. I'm not looking for three-four years, but I've got more than one," Boyle said. "I think that there's going to be a lot of talk about my age and me moving forward, and the decline of my game, which I've heard a lot. But I'm proud the way I finished the season. How I played in the playoffs."
Boyle, the Sharks' best puck-moving defenseman, had four assists in the seven-game loss to the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference quarterfinals. But only one of those assists came in the last four games of the series, as the Sharks let a three-games-to-none lead slip away. The Kings capped the historic comeback with a 5-1 victory in Game 7 on Wednesday.
"This is the first time I've left my house since I got back after the game," Boyle said. "It's definitely the worst loss in my career, and I'm not going to get over this for a long time. This one hurts a lot."
Boyle, who has 561 points in 954 career regular-season games, had 36 points in 75 games this season. He missed seven games in the second half of October with a concussion after an illegal check by Maxim Lapierre of the St. Louis Blues.
"I went through a really, really difficult start to the season with the concussion, and it took me a long time to get back," Boyle said, "but I think if I can look back at the last couple months, I'm proud of where I'm at and what I can still bring to the table."

The Sandy Hook massacre and similar carnages are not isolated tragedies nearly so much as they are all symptoms of a much larger and more complex problem. We are losing innocent people by the dozens every day in drive-by shootings, hit-and-run murders and robberies. We have become desensitized to these tragedies unless they occur in a dramatic fashion.
There is a tangible and lethal change taking place in this nation; a change that won't be halted or altered by shallow emotional appeals for gun control or armed guards. Modern American culture has spawned a multitude of evils. We coddle our criminals and abuse our elders. We seem to admire those who succeed in "breaking the rules." Significant numbers of our youths are growing up shaped like pears and virtually uninspired by anything not containing batteries. Still others are born into poverty so that mom can get a bigger welfare check. Immigrants who neither know nor care about this republic are not only allowed but encouraged to enter this country and receive its bounty (or what's left of it). The work ethic that made this country vital and robust is gone. Illegal drugs are epidemic and, I believe, are playing a much bigger role in violent crime than we now know.
Sweeping change in the national value system is unavoidable. Motherhood and fatherhood are primary responsibilities and must be taken much more seriously. We need to raise our children, not merely let them live here.
Don't get me wrong; there are a lot of good kids out there. They are easy to identify. They're productive and they're not killing anybody.

The Pacific women's basketball team is finally starting to get some recognition as they strive to qualify for its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament. For the second straight week, the 16-3 Lady Tigers earned a vote in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association/USA Today Top 25 Coaches Poll, and only 37 teams in the country are receiving votes.
If the Tigers win the rest of their games, I think they should be considered for the NCAA Tournament as an at-large selection if they somehow don't win the Big West Tournament title in Anaheim. Hopefully, the NCAA Selection Committee is paying close attention to the Tigers, because they are ready to go dancing this year.

Gov. Jerry Brown promises to protect the water for all. How about fixing the problems with the Delta now, restore the fish runs to a decent level that shows a healthy waterway, then let's talk about the tunnels? They haven't done a great job protecting the water so far. All the tunnels will do is make sure the Los Angeles and San Diego are the ones protected. We get to go to hell.

Folks who favor the legalization of marijuana should consider its impact on road safety in California.
When you get in your car to drive anywhere, you navigate roadways shared with many other drivers, a percentage of whom are impaired by alcohol use, cellphone use, eating while driving and other distractions.
Imagine adding many more drivers stoned on legal marijuana to the mix.

As of 6:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, the Treasure fire burning near Leadville still hovered at 320 acres and 10 percent containment.
"Good progress was made yesterday on the tactical objectives," the Lake County Office of Emergency Managment Facebook page noted. "Tuesday's operations will be continued focus on arresting cross-hill fire spread."
A controlled burn on the fire's west side happened Monday. Firefighters easily contained spot fires that erupted from the controlled burn, officials said.
Line preparation continues on the south side of the fire with the goal of beginning controlled burning to eliminate fuels for the wildfire to consume.
Firefighter crews on the line number 90, out of 112 total incident personnel - 12 are support and supervisory roles and 10 are stationed on the helicopter fighting the fire.
The fire's progress to the north has been largely arrested by a grassy meadow leading into alpine terrain, which is what seems to have ceased the fire's progress eastward as well.
"We don't expect that to change. It's reached tree line and tundra, and tundra almost never carries fire," U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Sarah Gallup said.
The fire began at roughly 11 a.m. Saturday and is burning 5 miles northeast of Leadville in Birdseye Gulch on the western side of Mosquito Peak. It remains roughly 10 miles southwest of Quandary Peak and does not appear to be ready to jump the Mosquito Range ridgeline between Leadville and Alma.
Officials believe the fire to be human-caused, but it's still under investigation.
The daily update on the fire is expected around 6 p.m. today, but if fire activity changes, one could come sooner.
"There's no activity that I anticipate that would cause an update," Gallup said.

Industrial group plans for future disasters

Because the land in Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes is steadily decreasing, future flooding from hurricanes is a major threat.
That is part of the message South Lafourche Levee District General Manager Windell Curole gave to members at the Bayou Industrial Group's luncheon Monday in Thibodaux.
Over time, the flooding of the Mississippi River created the delta many south Louisianans call home, he said. The higher the river, the more sediment it left behind. When the river dropped, the sediment stayed, creating land.
With the construction of canals, levees and other man-made structures, there has been less flooding and less sediment being deposited, he said.
"When gravity pulls it down, the sediment gets lower and lower, and with no more flooding, there is nothing to add to the top of it anymore," Curole said.
Curole said residents should understand the increased risk South Louisianans face with each hurricane.
"Someone told me 'Well, we didn't flood for the hurricane (Isaac), and my response was 'We were dry, but we are not high,'" he said.
With each hurricane, it is impossible to predict what is going to happen, he said.
Curole said with Hurricane Katrina the levee system didn't fail in New Orleans like most believe. The levee system was designed to protect the city from a certain level of water, and the water surge from Katrina overpowered the levee and spilled over.
The right of the hurricane's eye wall is the most powerful, and Curole said any good-sized storm moving relatively slow could cause damage. This is what happened to LaPlace and other areas that flooded during Isaac.
"In the wind field, even though the hurricane wasn't strong, it decided to stay almost overnight in Houma. That wind energy continuously pushed water in to those areas," he said.
To plan for disasters like these, the Levee District is raising 12 miles of levees in south Lafourche and plans on building more structures.
"If we are going to live here in the future, we have to plan for these problems," Curole said.
Jimmy Ledet, soon to be president of BIG, said as an engineer he understands the risk Lafourche could face and is happy the Levee District is taking strides to protect the community.
"I am from Thibodaux, and I guess I have a lot of passion for where I live. Coastal restoration is a question of how we survive... Hopefully we can get something started to get something done," he said.

Incoming Cal freshman Missy Franklin won two titles Wednesday night at the U.S. national swimming championships in Indianapolis.
Her time of 1 minute, 55.63 seconds in the 200-meter freestyle was 0.08 seconds off the world's best this season. The Olympic champion and world-record holder in the 200 backstroke then set a U.S. Open record in that race at 2:05.68, the world's best time this season. Cal's Elizabeth Pelton was second in 2:06.29 -- the second-fastest time of the year.
"That hurt a lot, but I love doing the double," said Franklin, who won the 100 freestyle on opening night Tuesday.
Olympian Ryan Lochte won the men's 200 freestyle in 1:45.97 and 200 backstroke in 1:55.16. Also, former Stanford star Eugene Goodson took the 50 butterfly in 23.29 seconds.
Jedd Soto, who took a medical leave of absence 12 games into the Saint Mary's baseball season this spring, resigned after 10 seasons as head coach. "It is with a heavy heart that I am resigning due to unforeseen circumstances this spring," Soto, 39, said in a statement released by the school. No reason was given for his departure. He compiled a 209-275-3 record.

Generic drugs – made possible by…
Generic drugs – made possible by…
01.08.13 | By
In the interest of public radio parlance and fair and balanced journalism, I'd like to suggest a new opening sentence to NPR's story on physician prescribing decisions and generic drug utilization:
"We're living in the golden age of generic drugs – made possible by innovative biopharmaceutical research companies."
NPR's story, which describes the findings of a research letter published in JAMA Internal Medicine, fails to capture the full scope of factors that impact physician prescribing and disregards the construct of the U.S. prescription drug marketplace.
Regardless of whether a patient asks for a certain medication, many factors affect physician prescribing decisions, including where medicines are found on formularies, clinical guidelines, articles in peer-reviewed medical journals and continuing education.
Physicians make treatment decisions on a case-by-case basis, in the best interest of each patient. Since not every patient responds to every medicine in the same way, it's vitally important for physicians and patients to have a choice among multiple therapies when deciding on the best treatment plan.
Generics play an important role on our health care system – and with recent patent expirations of brand-name medicines, more and more generics are becoming available to patients. This is a good thing.
It reflects the unique marketplace for prescription medicines in the U.S. (aka the prescription drug lifecycle) – which unlike other health sectors carefully balances innovation and long-term, affordable access. The investment and research conducted by innovative biopharmaceutical research companies makes the long-term savings offered by generics possible. However, as with any balance or scale, there is a tipping point.
Patients who have therapies to effectively manage their disease may benefit from the next generation of medicines with fewer or less severe side effects, or easier administration. And there are thousands of patients, including many in the rare disease community, who are (eagerly, anxiously, desperately – your choice) waiting for any treatment option.
These patients are dependent upon innovative biopharmaceutical companies who are undertaking the long and expensive drug development process – not the generics industry that produces copies of medicines once they go off patent.

For more information about the Lincoln Center, visit their website or call (979) 764-3733.
When he finished playing football for Texas A&M, Lance Jackson didn't have plans on returning to College Station. Jackson says it was his calling to use his life to help others in the same way he was helped as a kid growing up in Central Texas.
On a sunny February afternoon, kids flock to the Lincoln Center. Inside, it sounds a bit like chaos. Looks that way, too.
But to Lance Jackson, and the staff at Lincoln, this is just another school day afternoon.
"We like to think we can do as much as we can, for as many as we can, for as long as we can," explains Jackson. "That's pretty much how we serve."
He's soft-spoken and spends part of his day in his office taking care of the business side of the Lincoln Center. But Jackson weilds a force that is absolute. He plays equal parts boss, father, big brother and advocate.
"I look back on my life and I see so many similarities between my life and the children who come through this facility," shares Jackson.
He was born and raised in Temple. In a community a lot like the one that surrounds Lincoln Center. For Jackson, not being at the Lincoln Center and serving the community would not be himself.
There is so much history in the halls. The Lincoln Center is more a family affair than just another building.
"They get to attend, or be at a facility which one of their relatives actually participated and played and studied and had an opportunity to grow up here, right here. So, to me, it's living history," says Jackson.
"It is my obligation to teach, or provide an opportunity to teach, about the history of this center and the people who have called this home."
A home at the heart of a growing community.

Today: Investors punish San Francisco online gaming company Zynga after it forecasts a quarterly loss. Plus: Good news on the jobless front boosts Dow to 5-year high. And speaking of highs, gas prices in California approach the all-time record.
Zynga plunges, possible layoffs loom
Zynga shares got hammered Friday, a day after forecasting a hefty quarterly loss.
The San Francisco online gaming company, best known for their social games such as "FarmVille" and "Words With Friends," dropped 11.9 percent, or 34 cents, to end the day at its lowest closing price ever, $2.48. Zynga warned Thursday afternoon that it expected losses of 12 to 14 cents a share for the third quarter, based on lower demand for its games and an $85 million to $95 million charge for its acquisition of rival gamemaker OMGPop earlier this year. That sent Zynga shares into a tailspin, falling 20 percent in after-hours trading. Shares bottomed out Friday morning at an all-time low of $2.21 before regaining some of those losses.
It's been a rough year for Zynga, which went public in December at $10 a share, peaked near $15 in March, but has been in a steady decline since, losing more than 75 percent of its IPO valuation.
More troubling, Zynga stock's total net worth is nearly zero. The total value of its on-hand cash, securities and headquarters translates to $2.46 a share, according to a Los Angeles Times report, just a hair below Friday's closing price.
The purchase of OMGPop, maker of the onetime hit game "Draw Something," is looking increasingly like an anvil tied to Zynga's neck. Zynga bought the company at the peak of "Draw Something's" popularity, which didn't prove to be lasting. The write-off of up to $95 million accounts for more than half of the purchase price, a sign that Zynga hugely overpaid; The Next Web blog estimated Zynga is losing up to $482,000 a day thanks to the deal.
The lower forecast didn't impress analysts either. "They suck at forecasting," Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities analyst, told the blog Ars Technica. "Nine weeks ago they thought they'd got (their estimates) down to as low as they could be and now they're down another 20 percent, which means that their monetization is deteriorating faster than we thought."
"Another disappointment for investors," analyst Paul Sweeney told Bloomberg News. "The challenge for Zynga is to deliver a steady stream of hit games."
As bad as things are at Zynga, they may soon get worse: CEO Mark Pincus sent employees a letter Thursday describing the need for "targeted cost reductions and focusing our new game pipeline to reflect our strategic priorities" -- which could very well mean restructuring and layoffs, according to All Things D. Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia agreed, telling the Associated Press he expects "significant layoffs in the coming months" at Zynga.
Friday's damage wasn't limited to Zynga; Facebook, which earlier this year reported 12 percent of its revenue comes from Zynga, saw its shares fall 4.73 percent,, or $1.04, on fears that Zynga's woes will impact Facebook's earnings. Facebook ended the day at $20.91.
Jobless numbers boost Dow to 5-year high
Wall Street hit five-year highs Friday morning after a surprisingly upbeat jobs report that found unemployment fell in September to 7.8 percent, the lowest since January 2009. But the optimism didn't last, and the morning's gains were largely erased by the time trading closed.
All three major indexes approached gains of around 0.7 percent earlier in the day before quickly reversing course; the tech-heavy Nasdaq fared the worst, ending the day in negative territory, down 13.27, or 0.42 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500 ended the day around where it began, down 0.47, or 0.03 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average slipped the least, ending with a slight gain of 34.79, or 0.26 percent, to close at 13,610.15, its best since December 2007.
The federal report, which found an additional 873,000 people were employed last month, was an encouraging sign of economic recovery. "An overall better-than-expected jobs report, consistent with most recent data that suggest the economy is gaining some momentum," economist Sal Guatieri told the Associated Press. Unemployment had been above 8 percent for the previous 43 months.
But the lack of investor confidence followed a recent trend. "After an initial bump up this morning, there hasn't been sustained buying to hang on to the gains," market strategist Frederic Dickson told Bloomberg News. "Today's trading is a pattern we've seen before this week, with a strong start and then we give up gains later in the day."
Timing also likely played a factor. "It seems like traders are locking in some profits from earlier this week and ahead of the earnings season," Rockwell Global Capital economist Peter Cardillo told CNBC. The third-quarter earnings season begins next week.
Tech stocks got the worst of it Friday. In addition to losses by Zynga and Facebook, Apple (AAPL) fell 2.12percent, or $14.15, to close at $652.65, and LinkedIn, Oracle (ORCL), HP, eBay (EBAY),Yahoo (YHOO) all ended the day down more than 1 percent.
Gas prices near all-time high
Another day, another 20-cent hike in gas prices.
That's been the pattern this week across California, as gas prices approach the state's all-time high, set in 2008, after a series of refinery distribution problems have limited supply and sent wholesale prices soaring. And expect it to get worse this weekend before it gets better. "We most likely will exceed those highs," AAA"s Cynthia Harris told the Merc's Gary Richards. "By how much we don't know."
Prices have skyrocketed 40 to 60 cents this week, topping $5 a gallon in some places. According to AAA, the average retail price of gas in California rose 17 cents to $4.49 a gallon early Friday, up from $4.13 a week ago. In San Jose, the average price was $4.54, three cents shy of its all-time high.
"It's insane," said Matt Hurd told Reuters as he filled up his in SUV in San Francisco, where the price averaged 4.60 a gallon, just two cents off of that city's record.
The price spike is being blamed on a perfect storm of problems, ranging from decreased production at Chevron's Richmond refinery following this summer's fire, to a power outage earlier this week at a Southern California refinery, to the seasonal dropoff in production as refineries switch from a summer to a winter blend of gasoline, Reuters reported.
There was one glimmer of hope that gas prices will soon ease; ExxonMobile said Friday production had resumed at its refinery that suffered the power outage.
Shares in San Ramon-based Chevron rose 35 cents, or 0.3 percent Friday, closing at $117.50.
Silicon Valley tech stocks
Up: Intel (INTC), Applied Materials, Intuit
Down: Apple, Google (GOOG), Oracle, HP, Cisco (CSCO), eBay, Yahoo, Gilead, VMware, Juniper, Netflix (NFLX), Facebook, Zynga, LinkedIn

The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Up 34.79 or 0.26 percent, to 13.610.15.

Bug experts at Michigan State University say there are fewer mosquitoes this summer after a cold winter and a few dry spells.
That doesn't mean that there aren't some waiting to buzz around your holiday outing. And with a West Nile Virus infected crow discovered in Mason, you will want to take precautions against mosquitoes, which carry the virus.
Those bug experts say the best way to prevent mosquito bites is repellant, long sleeves and light clothing. Also, you should avoid pools of stagnant water and marshy water.
Still, etymologists say the West Nile Virus threat is small.

Andy Schob isn't buying that Jackson is going through a down season.
In fact, the third-year Warren head football coach is expecting the host Ironmen to be a real handful for his Warriors in a Southeastern Ohio Athletic League opener at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
"Jackson is the two-time defending league champions," said Schob whose Warriors own a 2-3 overall record. "We are playing on their home field, where they do not lose often, to start league play."

KAREN HENTHORN Special to The Times
Talk about giving a team a lift. Warren's Chas Miller (4) makes a spectacular tackle of a Meigs ballcarrier during prep football action in Pomeroy last Friday night. The Warriors are hoping to see more of this when they play defending two-time Southeastern Ohio Athletic League champion Jackson this Friday night.
But there's no question, Andy Hall-coached Jackson (2-3) can be beat. After winning their first two games of the 2012 campaign against Wellston (34-13) and Waverly (28-7), respectively, the Ironmen have gone into a little tailspin, dropping three consecutive contests.
"They have lost three games to really good football teams, Granville (28-14), Athens (21-14), and Wheelersburg (40-14)," Schob said. "They were also missing their starting quarterback, (Derek) Rafferty, and their best running back and linebacker, (Morgan) Landrum, for much of those games.
"They had younger players getting adjusted against caliber teams. I would expect them to be at full strength this week and focused to attempt to defend their league titles."
Against Wheelersburg, senior Steven Kearns (6-foot, 180 pounds) filled in for Rafferty at QB, and senior Mitchell McCorkle (5-10, 165)and freshman Jake Crabtree 6-3, 180) were the workhorses in the backfield with the former rushing for 42 yards on 14 carries and the latter gaining 26 yards on six attempts.
"Jackson can line up in double tight and pound the football with their bigger players and also spread you out in spread sets and move the ball around to quality athletes," Schob said. "Their defense is aggressive and flies to the football."
Schob said that since he's been at the helm he's never guided a team to a win against Jackson. Last year, the Warriors dropped a 42-17 decision to the red and white gridders in Vincent.
"Coach Hall has built a quality program in a place with great tradition," the Warrior boss continued. "As a head coach, I have a win against every team in the league, except one, Jackson. I would love to change that with our team Friday."
Warren halted a two-game slide last Friday night with a convincing 57-12 triumph over Meigs (1-4) in Pomeroy. The Warriors led 21-0 at the end of the first quarter and 35-6 at the break.
After a scoreless third period, the royal blue and white scored 22 fourth-quarter points to win going away.
"Our team and kids came out with a different attitude and excitement," Schob said. "We took a different approach to the game with them and they really responded."
Warren's Austin Kuhn rushed for 127 yards on nine carries and two touchdowns while Andrew Vincent had three catches for 107 yards and two scores.
Chas Miller added 63 yards on the ground, and Jake Scott gained 55.
Warrior signal caller Dylan Leffingwell completed 5-of-7 throws for 117 yards and two TDs.
Overall, Warren was clicking on all cylinders on both sides of the football
"They played at a high level and had fun together all night long," Schob said. "We will look to build on that excitement the second half of the season and in league play."

A recent article on Marketing Sherpa discussed the idea of bringing gaming mechanics, or gamification, to the internal and external operations of B2B companies. One of several definitions in the article is using game-style systems of "goal setting, real-time feedback, transparency, competition, teams, etcetera — to motivate and engage customers and employees." While not expressly tied to social media efforts, game-like rewards can be more successful when users have the ability to share them using social media, thereby amplifying the effect of the rewards.
Below are six tactics B2B marketers can use to drive internal and external engagement.
1. Drive online community engagement
When customers, prospects and readers come to your site, you want them to engage with your content. One of the best ways to get them to engage is to reward them publicly for leaving comments, sharing and interacting on your site. Some comment systems have built-in point systems or even badges to make this easy.
2. Determine the reward
It's important to understand what rewards will motivate your employees or prospects to take action. Online rewards could be simple recognition of the action taken, but traditional off-line rewards work too, like trips to Hawaii.
3. Motivate employees
Most employees want to do a good job, but if you introduce a little competition into the environment you can further motivate your employees. If you want to make sure a department completes a training program, offer up recognition for the employees who complete it first. You can also tie your reward efforts to company objectives and KPIs.
4. Create website engagement
When prospects come to your website, you need to get them to follow a path of action that moves them closer to a sale. It is one thing to have the path clearly defined, but it is another to make a game out of it. You can connect with them on a level beyond providing solutions to their business problems.
5. Get Sales to interact with the CRM
Sales organizations are used to meeting goals and comparing their results to others on the team. If one of the goals is to improve the participation in keeping the sales CRM up-to-date, look at ways to make this part of regular process. Gamification changes how you manage that and what behaviors you incent for your teams. In many instances, team goals, in addition to individuals ones, can drive greater results and more collaboration.
6. Avoid over-gaming
Making everything a game can get tiresome. Give people a break where some things just happen and don't require a competition.
Have you used any of the principles of gamification in your B2B company?
