One hears stories about jazz musicians who size up other players by the way they walk, talk, carry themselves. Something about the attitude. Well, watching bassist Dave Holland walk onstage Thursday at the SFJazz Center -- perfect posture, a gait both assured and relaxed, and with a smile bespeaking quiet delight -- one might surmise something about his musical character.
This master player's solo recital Thursday was a ridiculously wonderful event, the first of his four shows at the new venue, where he is performing with a different band each night. Thursday, he was the band -- drawing in his audience, giving a 90-minute lesson in the art of listening. He played 11 tunes: steady, balanced, revealing songs phrase by phrase, with clear lines, warm tone, every note a bulls-eye leading to the next with logic, shape, beauty and surprise; with quiet delight. As with Bach, there's a transfixing magnetism, except the language is so different. With Holland -- who came up under Miles Davis and other elder players -- the blues are never far away.
The concert began with "Homecoming," a tune he wrote in the early '80s while touring Britain with his American quintet, his first working band. The piece carries a certain "English connotation," Holland said, and one could hear that sense of Cotswolds contentment, perhaps, of measured merriment. The bassist introduced the melody in stages, ending each phrase with a sturdy chord -- a series of perches, or homecomings, gradually opening into the full song and its merry-go-round motion. Holland's improvised lines set up a contrasting motion, a brisk upright walk amid the spinning. He closed with a flourish: a big strummed chord, à la flamenco, or bassist Jimmy Garrison.
He made all this appear very easy, as if he were just puttering around. For his listeners, it was a look into his imaginative processes, which come together so organically, and his craft, which is so impeccable. It felt intimate. In only its third week of operation, the new venue is comfortable without being overly fancy, and its excellent acoustics perfectly suited this event. Holland said he felt as if he were performing for family in his living room. As he cradled his bass, or wrestled with it, his warm and sturdy sound filled the room.
He told stories -- about moving to New York in 1968, the year he joined Davis's band; about befriending other bass players, including Glen Moore (of the band Oregon), who composed "Three Step Dance," the next tune in Thursday's recital. Here, he set up a quaver-drone with the right hand, playing the slippery start-stop melody with his left, slapping at chords and reiterating this dance's underlying bluesiness. It felt very late-'60s with echoes of Jeremy Steig or the Blues Project. Whereas "Little Girl I'll Miss You," a ballad by saxophonist Bunky Green, allowed for other effects -- pure melody, sparely offered, ending on an unresolved chord yet conveying the equipoise that underlies Holland's whole concept, a balancing of forces.
There's a sense of foundation to everything he plays: Holland favors the bass's middle and low registers. Playing an untitled tune -- improvised from scratch -- he offered a brooding riff, moving it up and down and around the bass, before rooting into a steady blues shuffle, like a snake. On "Hooveling," he dodged and sidestepped and got aggressive, pushing through knotty crowds of notes -- a metaphor for negotiating sidewalk traffic in Manhattan. And here, Holland told another story. When he first moved to Manhattan, he ran into a character who explained that real New Yorkers walked in a certain manner known as "hooveling" -- dodging through crowds without ever touching other pedestrians. Later, Holland turned this myth into a tune.
What else? He played Charles Mingus's "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" and John Coltrane's "Mr. P.C.," which was composed for Paul Chambers. As Holland inspired his audience with these soulful tributes, he explained that Mingus and Chambers had been among his bass-playing inspirations. There's a sense of history in his music, of open-ended history. It's an inspiration, watching Holland as he goes about his hooveling -- finding open spaces to explore in a crowded field, where he has few peers.

Two men injured in Saturday morning fight
Published: Sunday, May 26, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 25, 2013 at 8:19 p.m.
Two men were injured early Saturday morning in what is believed to be an alcohol-related incident at a campground in northeast Tuscaloosa County, according to a press release from the Tuscaloosa County Homicide Unit.
The release did not identify the two men. The extent of the injuries is not known.
Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 call about 1 a.m. concerning an assault at Blue Creek campground. Deputies and medical personnel found a 29-year-old man at the scene who had been struck several times with an unknown object, the release stated.
A short while later deputies found a 49-year-old man in the area of Alabama Highway 43 and Northside Road. The man had stab wounds in the right arm and shoulder, the release stated.
Investigators determined that the victims knew each other and were at the campsite with other friends. The two men began to fight, at which time other people became involved.
Alcohol is believed to have been involved, the release stated.
No charges had been filed by late Saturday afternoon. The case is still under investigation.

Wave Energy Project Proposed for Maui
Oceanlinx Limited announced on February 4 that it plans to install a 2.7-megawatt wave energy project off the northeast coast of Maui. Oceanlinx, an Australian company that was previously called "Energetech," signed a memorandum of understanding on the project with Renewable Hawaii, Inc., a subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (HECO). The $20 million project will include three wave platforms and could be operating by the end of 2009. Each platform will employ oscillating water column technology, in which a cylinder is suspended in the ocean with its open end facing down, trapping air in the top. As waves pass the cylinder, the trapped air is compressed and forced out through a turbine, and in the trough of the wave, air is sucked back through the turbine and into the cylinder. Oceanlinx takes a unique approach to this technology by using a turbine with variable-pitch blades, a variable-speed generator, and a complex control system. See the Oceanlinx Web site.
Oceanlinx recently completed a successful full-scale trial of its technology at its pilot installation in Port Kembla, Australia, giving credence to its plans for Maui. And the wave energy project is well-timed, as Hawaii recently signed an agreement with DOE to establish the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, which aims to meet 70% of the state's energy needs with renewable energy by 2030.

Drake may be getting between Rihanna and Chris Brown.
"Chris and Rihanna had a big bust-up at the Grammys over Drake. She was messaging him and Chris saw and it didn't go down well," a source told British publication The Sun. "Since that night they have barely spoken and have been doing their own things."
According to the Huffington Post, that may explain why Rihanna and Brown went to the same club one night last week but didn't sit together or acknowledge each other.
Last summer, Drake and Brown had an exchange at a New York City club over Rihanna. The rumor was that Brown sent Drake a champagne bottle, only to have it sent back with a note from Drake saying he hooked up with Rihanna. Drake was also rumored to have hooked up with Brown's ex, Karrueche Tran.
C'mon, fellas. There are plenty of self-absorbed, attention-seeking diva fish in the sea.
According to the Sun, Drake is back in the picture for Rihanna, which is why she and Brown are no longer together.

ANTIOCH -- The new year will seem a little odd to Jim Davis.
That's because for the first time in 14 years, the one-term Antioch mayor, who served 10 years on the council before that, no longer has a full slate of weeknight meetings and events to attend.
After opting not to run for mayor, but instead seek a council seat, Davis, 55, lost election Nov. 6, finishing third in a field of five candidates.
He then unsuccessfully applied for appointment to the vacated seat of new Mayor Wade Harper.
Despite a tumultuous end to the year both personally and politically -- including losing his job of 26 years at Bank of the West because of company consolidation and having hernia surgery the day before the council appointment interviews -- Davis is at peace about the defeat, his tenure and future.
"I've always tried to put Antioch first, and put it on the map in a positive way," Davis said during a recent interview. "There are five generations of my family that live here. My involvement in the community is not going to stop; I have a vested interest."
Antioch experienced a boom in housing and retail growth during Davis' early years in office.
"When I got on the council, there seemed to be a new retailer or restaurant coming in on Lone Tree Way or at Slatten Ranch every week; it was just phenomenal," Davis said.
Plans also solidified for a community center in southeast Antioch in the mid-2000s, while the extra sales tax allowed the police department to expand its number of sworn officers and start community service officer, canine and volunteer programs.
But those memories are almost bittersweet, Davis said.
Shortly after Davis became mayor, an abrupt collapse in the nation's housing market sent city finances into a tailspin. By 2010, Antioch's once-robust budget of $47 million dropped to near $34 million -- forcing Davis to give a warning at a meeting that May that the city could be headed toward bankruptcy.
"There were a lot of nights I couldn't sleep; it was on my mind all the time," Davis said.
Keeping Antioch solvent with a combination of cuts, furloughs, program reductions and employee concessions is what Davis points to as the greatest accomplishment for him and the council during his time as mayor.
Gone were all 20 community service officers, all 11 code enforcement officers and scores of other city employees.
"It was tough. Over the course of 14 years, you get to know the staff members personally. I worried about them," Davis said. "They are human beings. How were they going to provide for their families and make payments?"
Several community events have emerged over the past few years, including a Memorial Day event and Veterans Day parade, which the strongly patriotic Davis helped create.
"You can tell that he feels genuine compassion and cares. There's no agenda," said Josie Monaghan, founder of East County Military Family and Friends.
She met Davis back in 2006. "He puts a lot of his own time into it."
Willie Mims, a member of local chapters of the Black Political Association and NAACP, praised Davis during the Dec. 4 council meeting for his low-key, nonconfrontational leadership approach and consistently joining in on protests against violence in the Sycamore Drive neighborhood.
"Jim always brought a strong community perspective,¿" said Donald Freitas, Davis' main political rival over the years. "He made sure that people in the community were involved and engaged."
Freitas and Davis were both elected to the council in 1998 and ran against each other three times for mayor in some highly contentious battles.
Davis says he was criticized during that first run for being "bland or milquetoast," a label that has stuck with him over the years. He argues that his personality was needed given some of the city's past tumultuous meetings.
"He's quiet and reserved, but that never meant he didn't think out his positions," former Councilman Brian Kalinowski said. "He was always very thoughtful in his approach."
Davis has also been criticized as being aloof or not being accessible. He says it was tough without an administrative assistant at City Hall, and though many lunch breaks were spent in his car answering messages, one of Davis' regrets is not returning as many phone calls and emails as he would have liked.
Davis also regrets not being able to be on the council when the Highway 4 widening is completed, a project he lobbied for during his tenure.
"When I got on the council, public safety wasn't as big of a concern, but Highway 4 was the same as it had been in 1957," Davis said.
For now, Davis plans to still be active within the city, perhaps becoming a commissioner on the city's crime prevention commission or working to help residents set up neighborhood watch programs.
He also plans to continue work on the Veterans Day and Fourth of July parades, be a police volunteer with his wife, Susan, work with nonprofit An Elderly Wish and spend more time with his grandchildren.
"I have a vested interest in Antioch, that's not going to change," Davis said. "My children and grandchildren live here, and I worry about them."

ARLINGTON, Texas – Cassie Redman and Sandy Schumann each blasted doubles in the first frame to power the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi offense past UT Arlington, 1-0, Friday night at Allan Saxe Field in Arlington, Texas.
Greta Cecchetti (4-3) propelled the Islanders (8-13, 4-3) defense with her second straight win and fourth win of the season. The senior limited the Mavericks (10-13, 0-1) to just two hits in seven innings of work while striking out six batters.
The Islanders tallied four hits with Schumann leading the way with two and Redman and Meagan McKinney chipping in one apiece.
The Islanders jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Leadoff batter Cassie Redman doubled down the right field line to start things off. Hannah Schwarz moved her to second before Sandy Schumann ripped an RBI double to right center to plate Redman.
The Mavericks tallied their first hit of the game with a single up the middle in the bottom of the second before Cecchetti struck out the next batter.
Schumann led things off with a single to second base in the top of the fourth and stole second with one out. McKinney reached based on a fielder's choice before the Mavericks defense executed.
McKinney tallied the Islanders fourth hit of the game with a solo shot to right field in the top of the seventh with one out. The Mavericks answered with their second hit of the game in the final frame before Cecchetti retired her sixth batter and the Islanders defense sealed the victory.
Teri Lyles (5-7) suffered the loss for the Mavericks in seven innings of work. She allowed the Islanders four hits and five strikeouts.
The Islanders and Mavericks will play again tomorrow at 2 p.m. at Allan Saxe Field.

okay i tried to use this program to copy a large video to my 3 but the file size it was copying exceeded the size of the original video so i canceled the transfer.
now, when i checked my free space it said i only had 8 gigs left! i know i should at least have 18. the most alarming part is that the air doesnt blow out of the console hard like it used to.
what should i do? i fear i may have permanently lost a lot of space and i fear my ps3's days are numbered if its fan doesnt return to normal!

Acne: Could Yoga Be the Culprit?
Yoga is a therapeutic practice that always stimulates a certain degree of detoxification. Hot yoga in particular really inspires a release of toxins. In the long-term, this is great for your skin. But in the short-term, you may experience a few literal "bumps" along the road to a glowing countenance.

Normal, average Suzy to start with was well played. Double opener songs tonight with a good Buried Alive, followed by an equally good Poor Heart. A few rough spots in Stash show that the timing is already off. Nothing ground breaking in the jam. Fee was good and well played. Rift has multiple timing problems during the solo sections. Fishman is playing really fast tonight. First Fluffhead of the year shows a little rust, but not too bad over all. Llama was even a little off on the timing, and experimentally rough. Usually that one is a solid no brainer. Lawn Boy was ok, kind of a surprise and not that great. They must have felt the same as they continue to tease it well into Bowie, especially Mike. Hilarious moment as they even mess up the language with an inexplicable D'oh after a random note signal, which brings on even more signals including "Get Back" to Lawn Boy. Sounds like Mike is almost teasing Blues for Allah. Bowie itself was just ok, nothing too great to bring this average set to a close.
The first Landlady (only) of the year starts off second set, and was a little rusty sounding, maybe because they are doing it as part of Punch now. Wilson also sounded just ok to me, as did Pen, Mikes and Hydro. Maybe the tramps made Mike's sound uncertain and listless at times. Weekapaug was the highlight of the trio. Woo Hoo! Another Mound comes out as this seems to be a new trend to let Mike have another say after his song. Mound was well played. Then the balls come out before an average Bouncing. HYHU brings out Fish for a pretty good Love You, capped off by a rocking HYHU outro. Did not expect a Lizards this late in the set, and this one was ok, maybe a few off spots during the jam. Cavern was just ok to close up another average set.
First Bold as Love of the year also shows some rust, like they need to go over some parts in practice. Another Grace follows after the shushing, and this one is pretty well done from what I can hear.
Well the intent is always there, but this show just never quite got "there" tonight. Too many mistakes on timing make this one average for me.

AUGUSTA, Ga. --- After a long hiatus, the Par 3 Party is making a return to Masters Week, this time at a new location in downtown Augusta.
Big crowds are expected at the Augusta Common on Wednesday night for a concert and dance floor with live music. Throughout the week, 10,000 people are expected downtown.
"If you are of the older generation, you can sit down and watch. If you are of the moving variety, you can get out there and dance all night. We just talked to a man from North Augusta and he said we won't need a chair because once we start dancing I never sit down." said Brenda Durant, an organizer.
"We're going to have a band from 6:30 to 7, a fashion show from 7:30 to 8, and then the Embers are going to play from 8 until 11. I mean where else can you go and get that kind of entertainment?" Durant said, noting the $10 entry fee. Children under five get in free.
"It has been a success from beginning to end, and we'll be back," said Chris Raeymaeker. He's one of 30 Germans on a bus tour to Augusta, snapping pictures and spending money.
"We gotta spend it somewhere we might as well do it here right," he said.
And this buzz of this year's tournament has also helped.
"I think the Tiger factor has brought a lot of people to town and we want to show our town off." said Ooollee Bricker, a shop owner.
"This is a fun, fun, week to be in Augusta,GA," Durant said.

EPA Proposes 2012 Renewable Fuel Standards
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed on June 21 the 2012 percentage standards for four fuel categories that are part of the agency's Renewable Fuel Standard program, referred to as RFS2. Based on analysis of market availability, the EPA is proposing a 2012 cellulosic biofuels volume that is lower than the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) target of 500 million gallons. EPA will continue to evaluate the market as it works to finalize the cellulosic standard in the coming months. The agency remains optimistic that the commercial availability of cellulosic biofuel will continue to grow in the years ahead.
The proposed 2012 overall volumes and standards are: 1 billion gallons of biomass-based diesel, or 0.91% of the U.S. on-road fuel supply; 2 billion gallons of advanced biofuels (1.21%); and 3.45 to 12.9 million gallons of cellulosic biofuels (0.002% to 0.010%). Based on this standard, each refiner, importer, and non-oxygenate blender of gasoline or diesel fuel determines the minimum volume of renewable fuel that it must ensure is used in its transportation fuel. Under the proposal, the total volume of renewable fuels would be 15.2 billion gallons, or 9.21% of the nation's on-road fuel supply. In addition, the EPA is proposing a volume requirement of 1.28 billion gallons for biomass-based diesel for 2013. EISA specifies a one billion gallon minimum volume requirement for that category for 2013 and beyond, but enables the EPA to increase the volume requirement after consideration of a variety of environmental, market, and energy-related factors.
Overall, the EPA's RFS2 program encourages greater use of renewable fuels, including advanced biofuels. For 2012, the program is proposing to implement the EISA requirement to blend more than 1.25 billion gallons of renewable fuels greater than the amount mandated for 2011. The EISA established the annual renewable fuel volume targets, which steadily increase to an overall level of 36 billion gallons in 2022. To achieve these volumes, the EPA calculates a percentage-based standard for the following year, based on the projected national levels of fuel consumption. Comments on the proposed standards are due by August 11. See the EPA press release, the Federal Register notice of a July 12 hearing on the proposed rule, and the EPA Fuel Standards Web page.

Study Abroad In France
Known for its amazing landscapes, history, and its internationally recognized cuisine, France offers a great opportunity to learn and study about the fascinating European culture. France is one of the most popular destinations among UCO students for it's expansive resource of rich history and culture. Students are able to see firsthand the things they learn from their textbooks unfold come alive in three dimension. We welcome you to participate in one of the most popular program offered to you by the Centre for Global Competency. Please check out the following information to learn more about our partner universities in France.
Groupe Sup de Co La Rochelle is one of the most popular programs among UCO students. It offers a variety of business classes as well as French courses. La Rochelle is a perfect program for students who have low French proficiency.
Since February 2011, two of the school's programs have been recognized by the EPAS: the Bachelor in International Business and Master in Management (ESC) programs. No more than two programs can be accredited in each round of evaluations, so this is a very encouraging double success for the school, which can now offer these students a program that is balanced, coherent, international and compliant with demanding specifications. The objective of the EPAS (link to EFMD website) is to evaluate and accredit (for a maximum duration of five years) the best business and management programs on offer (undergraduate and Bachelor degrees, Masters or Doctorates), compare them against international standards and ultimately work towards their improvement.

The University of Burgundy (UB) sinks its roots deep into the history of France. The origins of UB go back to the times of the French monarchy, with the founding of the Dijon faculty of law in 1722, at the instigation of King Louis XV of France. After the French Revolution, between 1805 and 1809, Emperor Napoleon I of France founded the faculties of Science, Arts and Medicine, at the heart of Dijon. 150 years later, in the 1950's, the entire University, along with its new faculties, settled on the beautiful current campus, at the doors of the city center.
Over the past 20 years, five other campuses have been created all across Burgundy. Each one of them contributes to making UB the leading higher education and research institution in the region. Dijon has one of the best preserved medieval centers in France. It is easy to walk and see the sites, with lots of pedestrian walking streets. You'll sample some of France's finest cuisine. Dijon offers many cultural activities, including a wealth of museums and annual festivals, including the L'Été Musical (Musical Summer), a classical music festival in June.
Dijon, the capital of the Burgundy region, is famous for its mustard and you'll find plenty of it in Dijon's shops. Dijon also has an interesting medieval core--most of it pedestrian only--Renaissance mansions, and eight museums. Dijon today is a modern regional capital with many cultural events, shops, and restaurants.

The University of Picardie Jules Verne (Université de Picardie Jules Verne) is a university located in Amiens, France, and is under the Academy of Amiens. It was founded in 1970 and is organized in 12 Faculties. Many of UCO student who are majoring in French use this program to improve in their French Proficiency.
Amiens is a city and commune in northern France, 120 km (75 mi) north of Paris and 100 km (62 mi) south-west of Lille. It was badly scarred during both world wars, but restored sensitively afterwards. The cathedral is the main reason to visit, but St-Leu, the renovated medieval artisans' quarter north of the cathedral with its network of canals, has considerable charm. Amiens has an unmistakably northern feel; some parts of the city look rather Flemish, while the redbrick nineteenth-century workers' houses beyond the center are reminiscent of the English Midlands and North.

Two ESPN radio hosts have been temporarily suspended for "intolerance and insensitivity" in speaking on-air last week about Fremont transsexual basketball player Gabrielle Ludwig, sparking outrage in the LGBT community.
It is the most publicized backlash Ludwig has faced since the 50-year-old joined the Mission College women's basketball team, but not the only one. In fact, Ludwig told a blog this week the criticism has led her to contemplate quitting the team and has prompted the Santa Clara school to increase security at games.
Ludwig sparked debate across the country after the Bay Area News Group and other media outlets told her story, highlighting the fact the Desert Storm veteran may be the first athlete to play collegiate sports first as a man then as a woman. Ludwig, who stands 6 feet, 8 inches, had surgery to become a woman in July. She played in her first game Dec. 1.
Steve Czaban and Andy Pollin -- hosts working for a Washington D.C.-based station affiliated with sports media giant ESPN -- joked about Ludwig for almost three minutes during a show segment Dec. 6.
"That's a man, baby," yelled Chris Knoche, a guest of the show.
"Oh my God," Knoche said. "That could be a Russian chick. ... So how does this work? You lose testicles and gain eligibility?"
The hosts continued.
"The net-net is she/he has had a lot of problems in his/her life ... " Pollin said.
"I think 'it' is the politically correct term," Czaban said.
At the beginning of their Monday show, the pair issued a 10-second apology, saying no human should be called an "it."
By Tuesday, ESPN980 released this statement: "We strongly believe two of our employees crossed the line when discussing a transsexual person on their program last Thursday. Such intolerance and insensitivity will never be tolerated by this company. Due to the nature of their conversation, the pair have been temporarily removed from ESPN980's Sports Reporters program."
ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz released a statement to Outsports.com, which said in part, "We have expressed our significant dissatisfaction to the station's management."
The National Center for Lesbian Rights and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation have also criticized the hosts.
Ludwig did not return a call and email requesting comment but spoke to Outsports.com.
"These two people in Washington, D.C., just tore my life apart, and they don't even know me," Ludwig told the website. "They did it in respect to how I look, how I'm built, the tattoos on my body. They took great pride in humiliating me in the national public. I don't know if I'm supposed to cry or scream or beat them up. It's affecting my sleep; it's affecting my confidence."
Ludwig added that she has considered quitting the team because of the backlash but said her coach and teammates won't let her. She also said Mission College has hired extra security and provided her a special parking lot to help ensure her safety during games and practices.
"If I have to take a beating for it, it's worthwhile," she told the website.
It hasn't all been negative for Ludwig, though. The Lassen College women's basketball team invited Ludwig into their locker room after Saturday's game and took pictures with her and posted them on their Facebook page, saying, "This is one of the nicest players we've ever played, and you can't judge a book by its cover." It brought Ludwig to tears.

PIEDMONT -- From a singer and songwriter to avid sportsman and sports fan, Piedmont resident Murray Davis wore many hats. A fun-loving man, described by those who knew him as tireless, selfless and energetic, Davis also had a serious side -- as someone devoted to his community and faith, and as a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.
On Jan. 4, friends and relatives filled Oakland's Temple Beth Abraham to pay their final respects to Davis, who died of an apparent heart attack while vacationing with family in Hawaii on Dec. 29, one day before what would have been his 23rd wedding anniversary with wife Virginia. Davis, a father of three sons, was 57.
"Everyone wanted to be around him," Rabbi Mark Bloom said in his eulogy. "He had an easygoing nature. He was like a big brother and father to his (11) nieces and nephews."
Originally from Omaha, Neb., Davis was the youngest child -- and only boy -- in a family of four children. At age 4, Davis moved with his family to the Southern California community of Woodland Hills.
Davis graduated with a degree in philosophy from Cal in 1976 and immersed himself in Bay Area culture, especially as a big-time San Francisco Giants fan. He also established himself as a serious and dedicated musician. Davis, who in the 1980s organized a rock-and-roll quartet known as the Murmurs, went on to become a longtime member of the Temple Beth Abraham band. Always creative, Davis played lead guitar and sang in the temple's popular Rock 'n' Roll Shabbat services -- Sabbath prayers performed as rock-and-roll music. A recording of a Davis song, "The Everlasting Light," was played at the funeral.
Davis decided to become a musician while watching the Beatles on "The Ed Sullivan Show" as a child.
Davis also served his synagogue as a member of its board.
Elsewhere, Davis became a respected figure in his adopted hometown, Piedmont, where he had served as president of the Piedmont High School Boosters and Piedmont Baseball Foundation. He also served for many years as a youth baseball coach.
Upon hearing of Davis's death, members of the current Piedmont High baseball team put together an impromptu memorial at Witter Field, spray-painting the initials, "M.D.," on the outfield grass. Soon, a collection of flowers, baseballs, baseball caps and photos accompanied those initials.
Davis's oldest son, Corey, now in college, is a former Piedmont High baseball player. His middle son, Milo, a current Highlanders senior, will be a valued returner when baseball season begins in spring.
"Murray always spoke with a smile on his face," said Highlanders coach Eric Olson, whose team will wear a yet-specified tribute to Davis on either its jerseys or batting helmets this year. "Murray and Eric Sullivan (father of senior Ryan Sullivan, the Highlanders' starting catcher the past two seasons) were my sounding boards for the upcoming season."
Olson added that Davis was particularly excited about a new public address system at Witter Field. The Highlanders coach occasionally saw Davis away from the baseball field, too -- he once happened to cross paths with Davis and his wife at a Bruce Springsteen concert. Most of the chance meetings, though, happened around town.
In his younger years, Davis traveled the country and worked in a restaurant, in construction, as a coffeehouse barista and on a shrimp boat in Florida. Later, he settled into the financial services business, where he worked for 15 years. A stay-at-home dad since 2002, Davis perhaps was the ultimate definition of a Renaissance man. Beloved and respected, those who knew Davis recalled him as a strong leader, a visionary and a fair-minded individual.
"He inspired people with his wisdom, kindness and sense of humor," Eric Sullivan said.
"It's a tough loss for the whole community," Olson added.

Do what is right for our veterans
Published: Saturday, July 6, 2013 at 10:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 6, 2013 at 10:52 p.m.
Each year as Congress assembles, new legislative bills are introduced as previously introduced bills die. Some bills relate to Vietnam veterans who did not have boots on the ground. Many served at sea and in the air who need VA benefits including compensation for their survival.
It is well known Agent Orange dioxin, a herbicide used in Vietnam from 1962 to 1973, is the cause of many life-threatening diseases for those who served.
Congress and the VA are well aware of this fact. Even though this is well known in Congress, they continue to fail our veterans who fought the battle. Without proper funding, the VA can not help many suffering veterans of the Vietnam war. The backlog of submitted claims is overwhelming. It can take a year or more for the VA to review a claim.
As is often the case, the veteran is asked to provide more evidence in support of a claim. Many veterans do not know how or where to find additional supporting evidence. Veteran service officers are trained by the VA to help, but even they are overwhelmed with inquiries. They can only provide so much time, placing the responsibility upon the veteran to locate evidence. There are resources for veterans if those resources were published. Many veterans just give up, not knowing how and where to find required evidence relative to their branch of service. The VA should provide these resources to help the veteran.
Legislative bills if passed would cut red tape. The backlog can be significantly reduced for those who did not have boots on the ground, just the same are sick. It is about the dollars and politics, not about the veteran. What price is a veteran worth? The American people must step forward urging the Congress to do what is right for our nation's veterans.

Unseasonably warm weather continues to provide anglers with an abundance of open water options, much to the dismay of hard water anglers chomping at the bit to drill holes in the ice. Frozen water is showing at South Park waters, such as Eleve Mile, Tarryall and Antero reservoirs. A few brave souls have been setting out on the "thin" ice, in most cases under 4 inches, with some success, but the open water anglers are also doing well. It's a strange mix of conditions, but in a couple weeks the waters will likely be fully capped and far safer. Note: Spinney Reservoir does not allow ice fishing.
Dillon Reservoir continues to be mostly ice-free and producing a few fish. Most anglers are concentrating on the inlet areas where they are reportedly picking up mostly brown trout and an occasional kokanee and rainbow. Streamers and minnow-style lures are a good bet for the browns; nymphing egg patterns and San Juan worms will work for the other species.
Downstream from Dillon Reservoir the Blue River continues to be popular, but has slipped into winter mode and is considered highly technical fishing at this time. Fine tippets, midges and a good presentation are the order of the day. While fish are catchable, it's not easy going.
For easier fishing, head downstream to Green Mountain or Wolford reservoirs. Both are ice-free and producing fair trout action on a variety of trout baits. Off the dam at Wolford continues to produce a few kokanee, but the action has slowed.
Grand Lake-area reservoirs also remain mostly ice-free at this time. Often overlooked, Willow Creek Reservoir is producing decent numbers of smallish rainbows from the shore with spinners and small spoons.
Editor's note: Dave Coulson is the Colorado state editor for FishExplorer.com. He contributes a weekly fishing report to the Summit Daily News. For more local and regional fishing info, visit www.fishexplorer.com.

'The Blacklist' Recap, Season 1, Episode 5, 'The Courier'
Before we get to the recap, we should talk about the fact that "The Blacklist" is setting ratings records. The ratings folks just released the "Live+7" ratings for the second week of the TV season. "Live + 7" measures how many people watch shows on DVRs in the week after the show airs and "The Blacklist" is a huge hit with folks who use DVRs. During the week after the Sept. 30th episode, 6.5 million people used their DVRs to watch James Spader's Ray Reddington help FBI agent Liz Keen to capture another member of "The Blacklist." That's the biggest DVR audience for any network TV series ever. Impressive! It's the first time any network show has been DVR'd by more than 6 million people. And even though DVR viewers are likely to skip their way through all the commercial breaks on the show, you can bet that NBC executives are still dancing a little jig over how well this show is doing.
One more juicy little tidbit before we begin with this week's recap – remember the end of last week's episode when Red pulled a picture of a young woman out of the photo album the Stewmaker kept of all his victims? Some of the savvy readers of this column noticed the date on that photo was December of 1990, which is exactly when Red originally disappeared. There is little question that he has a deep connection to the woman in that photo. Could it be that her disappearance at the hands of the Stewmaker is what drove him to a life of crime?
I dug up this screen cap of Red grabbing the young woman's photo. I am open to theories about who this woman might be…
Ok, enough about ratings and last week's episode, let's get on with this week's recap…
We start with Liz and her maybe-a-spy husband Tom in bed. He's kissing her, but she's not interested. He asks her what is up and she shows him the brochure from Angel Station hotel. She asks him if he knows anything about the man who was killed at the hotel. He freaks out and demands to know what she knows. He begins choking her. She wakes up. It was all a dream… more like a nightmare.
Liz wakes up and Tom tells her that he is going to see an ultrasound today from the woman who is letting them adopt a baby. Before we can enjoy the scene too much, we get a glimpse through all the camera that have been secretly placed around Liz and Tom's house and we see the Man with the Apple taking notes about everything that happens in the house.
The scene moves to the woods. A man named Seth has been tied up by a man in a creepy-looking mask. The man in the mask is videotaping Seth and absentmindedly leaves a knife nearby. Seth grabs the knife and stabs the creepy-mask man in the chest. He is unaffected by it, which is pretty darn scary. The mask man gives Seth an oxygen tank and a breathing mask and then buries Seth underground in a small box.
Red is speaking with one of his henchmen. He wants an Iranian intelligence package and says he wants it intercepted. He is told that could be difficult because "The Courier" is keeping it safe. Red lost a lot of men the last time he tried to steal something from The Courier. He thinks the FBI can help him get The Courier.
At the FBI, Liz and Agent Ressler are fighting a bit about the value of profiling. He pretty much thinks her job is worthless. Before the conversation can continue, Red contacts Liz. He tells her about The Courier, who cannot be bribed and is pretty much unstoppable when it comes to delivering information. "The perfect middleman for the criminal world." Red says The Courier is delivering something worth $20 million to an Iranian spy named Hamid. The delivery will happen at a nearby market in just a few hours. We see the Courier putting stitches into a knife wound in his chest. He was the man who buried Seth at the start of the episode.
The FBI has descended on the market and identifies Hamid. They see Hamid interact with The Courier but the Courier suspects something is up. He kills Hamid and flees in a car. Liz and Agent Malik are in hot pursuit. They T-bone The Courier's car and he flees on foot. He pulls open the knife wound in his chest and shoves a small digital disk into his chest! Liz and Malik corner him. They tell him to put hishands in the arm, even though one of his arms is broken and he has a bone sticking out from it. He pushes the bone back into place without even flinching and raises his arms. He must be completely impervious to pain or something.
The FBI questions him, but cannot find what he was supposed to deliver to the dead Iranian agent. The Courier isn't saying a word. That's because it is hidden in his chest. They see lots of scars on his body and call in a doc. The doc confirms that The Courier has a rare condition that makes him not feel pain. The FBI searches the open wound on his chest and pulls out the disk. There is video on it of Seth being buried alive. The FBI realizes that The Courier was not delivering information for $20 million. The money was being paid as ransom to save Seth's life. Seth has 22 hours of air left.
The FBI finds out that Seth is one of the top analysts at the Natl. Security Agency. He has information that would be extremely dangerous if it got into Iranian hands. Director Cooper wants Liz to see if they can find out more about The Courier from Red.
Red won't tell Liz anything until she tells him what she has found out about Tom and the murder at Angel Station. She thinks a Russian tourist named Victor was killed at the hotel when she and Tom were visiting there a few years ago. Red tells her there is a drug dealer who has dealt with The Courier in the past. That man helps them find The Courier's safe house.
At the safe house, they find pictures of the dead Iranian agent and the woman who they think also worked with The Courier. Meanwhile, the FBI performs an ultrasound to see what other objects might be inside The Courier's body. They find a key, another microchip and two more unidentified objects. Gross!! Director Cooper wants them to take The Courier to the hospital and get the items removed. The Courier offers to take them to Seth if they give him immunity. The FBI refuses. Liz tries to get inside The Courier's head by talking to him about his little brother, Samuel, who is currently serving time in a federal prison.
Liz questions Samuel. He tells her a horrifying story about The Courier's life growing up. His name back then was Tommy. Samuel says, "Tommy's broken."
The FBI has identified the woman who gave Seth to The Courier/Tommy. She's a French criminal that Red knows. They want to try to trick her into revealing where she dropped Seth off so they can try to backtrack where The Courier may have taken him. Red says he can be a help but the FBI is resistant. Red has killed three people so far in these little missions and they are sick of watching the body count grow.
Tom calls Liz at work. He says she needs to come home right away, it's really important. She says she can't leave now but they will talk later. She thinks it is about the adoption, but we see that Tom has discovered that his fake passports, money, and gun have been removed from his hiding place under the floor.
Agent Ressler is pretending to be The Courier. He wants to get into the French woman's club. A bouncer tries to stop him and he beats the guy up, which is what The Courier would have done. He gets to meet the woman and tells her that the deal went bad and the Iranian agent is dead. She wants him to prove he is The Courier by showing he cannot feel pain. Ressler cuts his arm. The French woman does not buy it though because the real Courier would have killed her as penalty for the deal going south. Ressler flees and the FBI moves in and arrests the Frenchwoman. But, she can't lead them to Seth.
Liz suggests making a deal with The Courier and offer to let Samuel go from prison early. The Courier is on his way to the hospital to get the objects taken out of his body and we see him pulling the objects out. One of them is a knife that he uses to undo his handcuffs. The Courier escapes.
Red convinces the FBI to release the French woman. He says he will get information from her that they cannot extract. Red goes to see her and convinces her that the Courier is coming to kill her. Her only hope is to let Red get her out of the country… something he will do if she helps him find Seth.
Meanwhile, the FBI has found the Courier's hideout. There is a firefight and the Courier flees. He doesn't get far. Agent Ressler and Malik find him, but he is dead. There is less than 40 minutes left to find Seth.
Liz and Red use maps and the info they learned from the French woman to figure out where Seth is. They get to him but he is not breathing. Liz performs CPR and Seth comes back to life. "How can I ever repay you?" Seth says. "I'm sure we'll think of something," says Red, who knows Seth could someday provide him with valuable info. Liz is disgusted.
Back at FBI headquarters, a package is delivered to Liz from Red. It is the un-redacted version of the Angel Station hotel case file. The man who was killed was named Viktor Fokin. He was supposedly ready to defect to the US but a suspected US double agent is believed to have killed him. The file contains a picture of an "unidentified white male suspect." Liz recognizes it is her husband, Tom. We find out that Red used his connection with Seth to get the file for Liz.
Liz finally heads home. Tom has been waiting for her. We see the surveillance guys watching everything. "We need to talk," she says to him. "I was just going to say the same thing to you," he replies as he pulls out the box containing the money, passports, and guns.
And the episode is over!!
Whew, they really left us on a cliffhanger. The thing that is making this show great is the slow reveal of Liz, Red, and Tom's backstories. The weekly criminals being caught are almost an afterthought compared to the drama of that story. This is a show of misdirection and surprises so I think it is going to take a while longer until we really know if Tom is a bad guy or not. I think this may all be misdirection. I am already on record thinking that Red is not Liz's father because that is too obvious. I'll go on record now saying that Tom is not going to turn out to be the bad guy we suspect him to be right now. We'll see!
Well, that's enough from me for tonight. Now it is your turn. The comment section is officially open for your reaction to tonight's show. We've been having some great discussions there with scores of fans chiming in to offer theories and notes about what is happening on the program. I'll see all of you there over the next few days!

AVON - The Literacy Project, a nonprofit organization with a mission to eliminate illiteracy in Eagle County, will hold its annual author luncheon on Aug. 14 at 11:30 a.m. at The Westin Riverfront Resort and Spa. This year's event features Jennifer Gilbert, author of the celebrated memoir "I Never Promised You a Goodie Bag," will speak.
As the most significant fundraiser of the year, the annual author luncheon and silent auction accounts for 25 percent of the Literacy Project's annual budget. Gilbert has been featured in national publications such as People magazine, Vanity Fair, O Magazine, Marie Claire and has appeared on "The Today Show." A successful event planner in New York City, Gilbert's memoir describes her journey after a brutal attack and the bold career move that gave her a reason to celebrate again. Her story is a fascinating tale of how one can regain joy in the aftermath of unspeakable horror, packed with hilarious stories of "bridezillas" and demented captains of industry.
"Each year we strive to bring authors with a positive message to our annual luncheon," said Colleen Gray, executive director of The Literacy Project. "We're excited to welcome Jennifer Gilbert to the Vail Valley for both her inspirational story and signature humor. It's going to be a fantastic event."
The Literacy Project will celebrate its 22nd year in Eagle County this year, continuing its mission of eliminating illiteracy in the community. During 2012 alone, The Literacy Project will offer literacy education services to 500 Eagle County adult and youth learners, each of whom will receive an individualized education evaluation, learning plan and free, confidential one-on-one tutoring plan.

Grant Bosse: A long history of state budget gimmickry
New Hampshire has a bipartisan tradition of fiscal sleight-of-hand. It's tempting for politicians to hand out money without being held accountable for taking from taxpayers.

Once again, East Tennessee was well-represented Monday among the high school football elite as six of the 11 Tennessee Mr. Football award winners came from the area and were honored at the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards luncheon in Murfreesboro.
Local winners included Will McKamey of Grace Christian (Class A back), Brett Kendrick and Charlie High of CAK (Class AA lineman and back), Austin Sanders of Bradley Central (Class AAA lineman), Todd Kelly (Division II-A back) and Jonathan King of Farragut (Kicker of the Year).
"Today's celebration recognizes more than the ability of these young men to play our great game of football," said Titans owner K.S. "Bud" Adams Jr. "The young men were here because of their outstanding character and academic achievements — traits which will pave their way through life, long after their football days has passed. I congratulate all of the Titans Mr. Football Award finalists for the outstanding manner in which they represent their school and community."
High school head coaches and members of the media nominated the finalists. A committee of statewide sports writers selected winners based on performance in the 2012 regular season. Academics and character were also taken into consideration.
The awards were presented to the top back and lineman in each of the five regular season classifications of the TSSAA.
Other winners across the state include: Tyler Coen of Gordonsville (Class A lineman), Jalen Hurd of Beech (Class AAA back), Chase Hensley of the University School of Jackson (Division II-A lineman), Derek Barnett of Brentwood Academy (Class II-AA lineman) and Cornelius Elder of Ensworth (Class II-AA back).
