The Rolling Stones won't be making a new record anytime soon.
Then again, at their age, it might not be their decision to make.
Singer Mick Jagger told USA Today that the Stones have given up on making a new record to go along with their summer tour, because fans don't want to hear new music live.
"It would be nice to have a new album, but people don't like the new album when you play it on stage," Jagger said. "They glumly look at you. 'OK, it will be over in a minute.' It's not a good excuse, but it's the truth and has to be said."
Guitarist Keith Richards said he hopes Jagger will change his mind once they finish their summer tour.
"The time to record a band is once they've been on the road a while so they're hot. We'll think about that while we're doing this (tour). The world needs more Stones records. So do I."
It's kind of hard to argue with his logic. The problem is they really don't make 'em like they used to.
The band kicks off the "50 & Counting" tour next month. It rolls into Oakland's Oracle Arena on May 5 and San Jose's HP Pavilion on May 8.
The Stones' last release was 2012 greatest hits album "GRRR!", which featured two new songs. Their last full studio album was 2005's "A Bigger Bang."

OAKLAND -- A's rookie Jarrod Parker had the unenviable task of pitching twice against Detroit ace Justin Verlander in the American League Division Series, and while the outcomes were predictable, Parker hopes the lessons learned will help him turn the tables someday.
At the beginning of the year, in spring training, Parker was just trying to make the Oakland roster. By the end of it, he had acquitted himself quite well trying to match pitch for pitch against one of the best starting pitchers in baseball -- if not the best.
That bigger picture was not lost on Parker in the wake of the 6-0 Game 5 loss to Verlander and the Tigers on Thursday night.
"It's something obviously I'm going to cherish," said the 23-year-old Parker, the fifth youngest pitcher in Oakland history to start a postseason game. "It was a great experience, and hopefully, 5-6 years from now, somebody else is saying, 'I'm throwing two games against Jarrod Parker.' "
Parker gave up just five hits, a walk and two runs over the first six innings before the game fell apart in a four-run seventh, during which he wound up on the hook for two more runs.
He did his best to keep the A's in the game against the Detroit right-hander. Unfortunately, Verlander staged a vintage performance, throwing a four-hit shutout with just one walk and 11 strikeouts.
"He (Verlander) pitched the whole game, and we knew we were going to have to be real tight, work our butts off to challenge them," Parker said. "I was doing my best not to worry about what he was doing. I just tried to pitch my game. You know you have to be on because he's on, but I just had to stay within myself and do what I've done all year to give us a chance."
The young right-hander handled the dangerous middle of Detroit's order, rendering A.L. Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera and power threat Prince Fielder 0 for 6. But the bottom of the order bit him, particularly in the third inning. No. 9 hitter Omar Infante led off that inning with a single, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on the hardest-hit ball of the night against Parker, a double into the left-center gap by leadoff man Austin Jackson.
The Tigers sacrificed Jackson to third, and then Parker uncorked a wild pitch that allowed a second run to score. But he allowed just a hit and a walk over the next three innings to stop the bleeding and keep it close.
"At this point in the year, to be able to do something like that, I think I had a pretty good outing," he said. "This late in the season, with so many innings logged, I'm happy with it. I'm obviously not happy with the loss and the year being over, but we had a great year and we did a lot of things people never expected."
Parker believes the A's will only get better as they mature and thinks what the club accomplished this year only scratched the surface of what's to come in the future.
"We battled all year, we battled tonight, and what we've done this year has been a pretty amazing accomplishment," he said. "It's something we want to continue, take the success we had and the support the fans given us and turn it over into something better next year and for a lot of years to come."
Parker said he definitely didn't feel like a rookie by the time the playoffs rolled around.
"I think there was point halfway through the year where (manager) Bob (Melvin) expected us to not play and pitch like rookies," he said. "We learned a lot. This isn't anything where we should hang our heads and dwell on it. We're a good team. We know that."

The Raiders remained No. 28 in The Associated Press Pro32 NFL power rankings after their bye week.
Indianapolis (2-2) jumped over the Raiders from 31st to 22nd after their 30-27 home win over Green Bay, but Kansas City (1-4) fell from 27th to 29th right behind Oakland (1-3) after losing 9-6 at home to Baltimore.
The Raiders had dropped two spots to No. 28 after their 37-6 loss to host Denver on Sept. 30.
Up next for the Raiders is No. 2 Atlanta on Sunday. The Falcons (5-0) and No. 1 Houston (5-0) retained the top two spots in the poll, which began this season.
The Texans received 10 of 12 first-place votes, with the other two going to the No. 3 49ers (4-1).
What follows are the voters' comments on the Raiders after Week 5, as provided by the AP (voter affiliation and ranking in parentheses):
Chris Berman (ESPN, 25) -- Need late rush like A's at end of season.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 31) -- One victory and no interceptions is not a good combination.
Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 24) -- Comment unavailable.
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 30) -- A lack of depth and talent not making things any easier for first-year head coach Dennis Allen.
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 30) -- Last time the Raiders traveled east, they were pummeled by the Dolphins. This time, they're at Atlanta. Look out below.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 26) -- The Raiders are coming off their bye but have not responded to the extra rest in the past. They are 9-14 coming off byes.
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 27) -- Penalties aren't the issue anymore, but offense is. There's not enough of it.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 30) -- One day, in another galaxy, they will return to Pride and Poise.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 30) -- They had a bye and nothing new to report.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 28) -- If you have any questions if Peyton Manning can still play, ask the Raiders.
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 25) -- Although they've gotten outscored by nearly double (125 to 67), the Raiders are still very much alive in the AFC West race with San Diego and Denver losing last weekend.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 26) -- They have struggled on defense. And here comes Matt Ryan and company.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. -- Two foreign nationals have been arrested on immigration violations in the Massachusetts town where police say the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect may have once lived.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Saturday that Homeland Security Investigations agents had arrested two people in New Bedford.
An ICE spokesman would not comment on the people who were arrested or if they are connected to bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv). The University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth student remains hospitalized after exchanging gunfire with police Friday.
ICE did not say whether they are suspected in any other crimes. A federal prosecutor's spokeswoman declined comment.
New Bedford police said federal authorities searched off-campus housing near the school Friday and took three people in for questioning. Police say Tsarnaev may have lived at the complex.

WASHINGTON (January 4, 2013)--Vice President Joe Biden presided over a Joint Session of Congress Friday as four members of the House and Senate took turns announcing the electoral votes tallied in state capitals last month.
The count showed President Barack Obama capturing 332 electoral votes, far more than the 270 required to win the presidency.
Republican challenger Mitt Romney received 206.
The constitutional formality certifying the vote lacked the suspense of the November election, but kept with tradition.
The results also affirmed Biden as vice president.
The final official vote from all 50 states and the District of Columbia showed Mr. Obama with 65,899,660 votes, or 51.1 percent, and Romney with 60,932,152 votes, or 47.2 percent.
Mr. Obama will be sworn in later this month.

LETTER: Will Nancy Pelosi protect your family?
Published: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.

Will Nancy Pelosi protect your family?
Dear Editor: I am proud to be a member of NRA, our protector of our Second Amendment. "Shall not be infringed," this means can't take away from. I believe in this and support it. The NRA's Wayne LaPierre, worked hard, above and beyond, to protect it and to protect your rights. Everything he's been telling us is coming to pass. It protects us from invasions and tyrannical governments, the things (our) forefathers fought and died for.
Law enforcement is now telling citizens to buy guns, take safety courses and protect themselves and their families. Federal agencies protected by (President Barack) Obama put guns in the hands of drug cartels, and that got hundreds killed. If they think maybe someone is terrorist -affiliated, they are prone to drone strikes. And they want our guns? Go figure.
More than 6 million Jews would disagree, and so do I. They took away their guns. How would you feel not to be able to defend your little boy or girl. Hey, maybe Michael Bloomberg, Nancy Pelosi and Leonard Pitts Jr. will be there to protect you and your family. Maybe even Obama and the gun-banning politicians.
These are one proud American's opinions. They kill your families, serve 10 years and they're back on the streets, rehabilitated. That's the problem, not guns.

Preliminary hearing set for Copper Top shooting suspect Nathan Wilkins
Published: Monday, July 23, 2012 at 5:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 23, 2012 at 5:26 p.m.
A preliminary hearing has been set for the man accused in a shooting spree that left 18 people injured last week.
Nathan Wilkins' preliminary hearing was set for Sept. 7 at 9 a.m. He is being represented by the Public Defender's Office.
Wilkins, 44, is accused of opening fire at the Copper Top in Temerson Square at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, injuring 17 people, five of them seriously, who were in the bar. He is suspected of shooting another man at a home in Northport about an hour earlier and then setting fire to his former workplace in Brookwood after leaving Temerson Square.
At least two of the 18 victims remained in DCH Regional Medical Center on Monday. Mario Fritz Winkler was in serious condition and Renardo Jackson was in good condition, said DCH spokesman Brad Fisher. No information about Bruce Bankhead, who was injured at the home in Northport, was available.
Chilling black-and-white surveillance video released by the Tuscaloosa police after the shooting shows a man walking along the east side of the Copper Top holding an assault rifle at his side. The video was widely circulated online and generated many calls to CrimeStoppers, some of which identified the shooter as Wilkins.
Tuscaloosa Police Chief Steve Anderson said that Wilkins stood on the patio in front of the bar for a few minutes before firing at least 11 shots that injured 17 people. Video shows him turning and walking away in the same direction he approached.
Anderson said that at least one person in the bar was the intended target. "The individuals were very blessed that they were not killed," he said.
Wilkins has been charged with 18 counts of attempted murder and will face arson charges in the spree that also included fires set to property and equipment owned by his former employer.

AUSTIN, Texas (WOMENSENEWS)--Two recent studies indicate that women, particularly younger women, are more likely than men to die following angioplasty and coronary artery bypass surgery, two common procedures performed after a heart attack. Doctors admit they do not yet understand why.
Bypass surgery replaces or bypasses an obstructed coronary artery with a section of healthy artery, often taken from the leg. In angioplasty, a catheter tipped with a deflated balloon is inserted in the artery and inflated at the obstruction to widen the artery and increase blood flow.
Women under age 50 were three times more likely to die in-hospital after coronary artery bypass surgery than were men, adjusted for other risk factors, according to an Emory University study led by Dr. Viola Vaccarino and published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association on March 12.
Vaccarino says many factors could be at work: women come in for treatment later; women's smaller arteries may make the procedures more difficult and women's artery disease may be more diffuse, spread beyond the heart's arteries into the body's tiniest vessels. If cardiovascular disease is more diffuse in women than in men, bypass surgery, which repairs the heart's major arteries, would not be reaching and clearing it.
Another study published recently in Circulation found that women have more than twice the risk of death than men after a first heart attack is treated with angioplasty, regardless of age.
Women are at a greater risk of dying because they arrive at the emergency room later than the men, not recognizing the heart attack symptoms as quickly, said Dr. David L. Brown of Montefiore Medical Center's Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, an author of the angioplasty study. Many women have unusual symptoms such as peculiar back or elbow pain instead of the classic chest pressure, although women also experience more familiar heart attack signs such as chest pain, shortness of breath and nausea, Brown said.
In addition, women are more likely to go into shock than men when experiencing a heart attack. Shock is a life-threatening drop in blood pressure, a circulatory failure that can happen when the heart doesn't pump or pumps erratically, as in a heart attack.
"Women don't appear to tolerate the insult of their heart muscle dying the same as men," says Brown. "Even if, hypothetically, a man and a woman have a heart attack of the same size, the women seem to tolerate it less well than the men and nobody knows why."
Until Recently, Heart Disease Considered a Man's Disease
Traditionally, heart disease has been considered a man's disease and women were presumed to be protected by estrogen, according to Vaccarino. Clinical trials have systematically excluded women and research on women's heart disease only really began after the National Institutes of Health issued guidelines in 1993 requiring that women and minorities be included in research trials.
Education also lags, according to Brown. Women seem more aware of cancer risks than heart disease signs and many primary care doctors practice according to older medical school training that maintains it's uncommon for women to have heart attacks.
Meanwhile, Brown says, "The heart attack rate is going up in women and going down in men."
Women should ask for a stress test, since their doctors are less likely to suggest one, advises Brown. "There's a misperception among doctors that stress tests are inaccurate in women and not worth doing," he says, a belief that arises from statistical misunderstanding and not the test's effectiveness in women.
In the treadmill stress test, a patient's heart is monitored while she walks on a treadmill. The exercise is the "stress" that tests the heart and circulation, revealing obstructed arteries.
Brown urges women to ask their doctors about the heart disease risk factors such as hypertension, family history, diabetes, overweight and cholesterol. And he says they should stop smoking.
"The data I've seen," says Brown, "are that young girls are the only segment of the population where incidence of smoking is increasing."
However, the available tests may not be enough though, cautions Vaccarino. There's a paradox, she says: Among those undergoing bypass surgery, women with severe symptoms show less disease on their coronary angiogram than men with fewer symptoms. A coronary angiogram produces an X-ray image of the heart and its arteries heightened by contrast dye.
This may be because heart disease is more diffuse in women, which makes it more difficult to see in the angiogram.
"We have to find new ways to find the disease in women and new ways to treat it," says Vaccarino.
Dr. Rose Marie Robertson of Vanderbilt University Women's Heart Institute in Nashville, Tenn., says she is baffled by the greater mortality found in the studies but still believes bypass surgery and angioplasty benefit women. The findings "may reflect the reactivity of their blood vessels, it may reflect different degrees of inflammation, but I don't think we have the answer yet."
"Do I think there's enough research? Of course I don't," Robertson says. "Cardiovascular disease will kill more than half the women in this country. The dollars that have been directed to cardiovascular research are not congruent with the risk to the population."
Suzanne Batchelor has written also for WebMD, MedscapeHealth.com, "Healthline Texas" and the national science series "Earth and Sky."

About the Book
"The skill with which Ellen Horan has braided true crime with thoughtful novelizing is pure pleasure.… Caleb Carr meets Scott Turow. What could possibly be better?"
— Beverly Swerling, author of City of God
"An impressive blend of imagination and history as it vividly brings to life one of New York's City's most notorious crimes. Ellen Horan has written a novel that, once begun, will be difficult for any reader to put down." — Ron Rash, New York Times bestselling author of Serena
31 Bond Street, an unforgettable literary debut from Ellen Horan, is based on the true story of a brutal murder, a desperate mother and mistress, and the vicious constraints of 19th century society. Fans of Caleb Carr's The Alienist, Edith Wharton's The House of Myrth, and John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil will love the stunning prose and beautiful imagery of 31 Bond Street.
Who killed Dr. Harvey Burdell in his opulent Manhattan town house?
At once a gripping mystery and a richly detailed excavation of a lost age, 31 Bond Street is a spellbinding tale of murder, sex, greed, and politics in 1857 New York. Author Ellen Horan interweaves fact and fiction—reimagining the sensational nineteenth-century crime that rocked the city a few short years before the Civil War ripped through the fabric of the nation, while transporting readers back to a time that eerily echoes our own.
Though there are no clues to the brutal slaying of wealthy Dr. Burdell, suspicion quickly falls on Emma Cunningham, the refined, pale-skinned widow who managed his house and servants. An ambitious district attorney seeks a swift conviction, but defense attorney Henry Clinton is a formidable obstacle—a man firmly committed to justice and the law, and to the cause of a frightened, vulnerable woman desperately trying to save herself from the gallows.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"31 BOND STREET is an impressive blend of imagination and history as it vividly brings to life one of New York's City's most notorious crimes. Ellen Horan has written a novel that, once begun, will be difficult for any reader to put down." — Ron Rash, New York Times bestselling author of Serena
"Horan brings to life a sensational 19th-century New York City murder trial in which a woman is accused of viciously killing her husband. . . . An engaging mix of fact and fiction, with a juicy trial, sensationalistic reporters, and lots of local urban color." — Kirkus Reviews
"This thrilling book becomes not only a murder mystery, but a Wharton-esque examination of the mores and customs of antebellum New York society. . . . Rich with historical detail, 31 BOND STREET is one of the best debut novels in a long while." — BookPage

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi Softball program is hosting three camps during the month of June at Chapman Field. The camps range from age to skills specific and will be under the instruction of Head Coach Stephanie Hughes, Pitching Coach Sarah Pauly and eight current Islanders players.
The High School Exposure Camp is a two-day camp that will run June 11-12 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The camp is geared for 8-12 graders and will provide the opportunity for campers to showcase their hitting, fielding and base running skills. The camp will allow each camper to experience hitting and fielding drills that are used during a collegiate practice. Registration starts at 7 a.m. and the cost is $110.
On June 18, the Islanders will host two sessions of a pitching camp under the direction of Pauly, an Islanders All-American. Two sessions are available with the option of registering for both. The nine-year NPF veteran will lead girls ages 8-17 through a BASICS Session from 10-11:30 a.m. The session will include instruction on warm-ups, mechanics, location, demons, drills, measurements and speed. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and campers must bring their own catcher.
The second pitching camp is the PITCHES Session. This session is geared toward girls ages 13-17 and will start immediately after the BASICS Session and continue until 1 p.m. Pauly will lead campers through the proper techniques of how to throw a drop, rise, screw, curve and change up. Registration will begin at 11 a.m. and campers must come warm and ready with their own catcher. The cost for one session is $45 and $70 for both sessions.
The final camp of the summer is the Little Islanders Youth Camp on June 21-22.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Building his case out of original research from U.S., British, and German archives, and from interviews with submarine veterans, Anthony Newpower presents a comprehensive study of the politics and technology behind the high failure rate of U.S. torpedoes early in WWII. His investigation focuses on the defects in the Mark XIV, which tended to run deeper than the set depth, detonate prematurely, and/or fail to explode when hitting a target.

Look at Eno, the cute, fuzzy, mini-poodle pup, reclining in his new owner's arms and eating up the love like it's Milk-Bone ambrosia. And check out spunky Baxter, the small Australian terrier mix, nipping at heels and kicking up his own, ready for a new home and adventure.
What? Eno's 13? No way! And Baxter is about 10? Sweet little guys like this may have a few years under their collars -- senior citizens in canine culture -- but there's no expiration date on love. And while it certainly takes a special breed of human to open heart and home for older pooches, more and more people are looking past gray muzzles, adopting senior dogs and giving them a new "leash" on life.
"It's getting popular to adopt senior dogs," says Laurie Routhier, director of operations at Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco -- an internationally known nonprofit dedicated to finding homes specifically for dogs ages 7 and up. Muttville placed 519 dogs in 2013, and they're on track this year to reach 600 -- animals who have lingered at other shelters on the verge of euthanasia or whose older owners have died and relatives don't know what to do with the little guys and gals.
"We're trying to flip the idea that it's hard to adopt out seniors," Routhier says, crouching down to give Baxter a pat at Muttville headquarters. "It's true that at most shelters, people want cute puppies. Baxter here just came over from a shelter where he'd been waiting for a while because he was competing with younger dogs. But here, he'll get snapped up in moments -- look at him, he's 10 but you'd think he's going on six months."
Many people actually seek out older dogs because they're mellow with children, Routhier says -- their temperaments have developed and they're generally calmer. They're also perfect for seniors or for working folks who don't have time to train a puppy or run five miles a day with a highly active adolescent.
Big hearts, big love
Though senior dogs are the sole focus of Muttville -- founded in 2007 by devoted animal volunteer Sherri Franklin -- many Bay Area shelters also have programs targeting the mature pet. The East Bay SPCA has a Silver Whiskers and Muzzle Club. The Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society has a Golden Paws program, promoting awareness and adoption of senior animals. And the Humane Society of Silicon Valley in Milpitas offers a Seniors for Seniors program, where people 65 and older can adopt an older dog for a reduced fee.
"People in this area are really progressive about animals and have really big hearts," says Finnegan Dowling of the Humane Society of Silicon Valley, where they just found homes for Mickey, 8, and Minnie, 11, two inseparable labs Dowling describes as "made of happy."
"That said, (older dogs) definitely take longer to get adopted," she adds. "We've had some that have been with us for months."
Dowling actually prefers older dogs as her own personal pets. "I've had seven dogs over the years, and always an adult, never a puppy," she says. "Those are the best years, 11 to 17 -- the energy levels are great, they're house broken. Older dogs are more confident and a lot easier to please.
"A young dog comes into the house and doesn't know what to do and runs around and eats everything and chews up your shoes," she says. "A mature dog comes in and says, 'OK, I know the routine, show me where the food and water is, love me, and we're good.' "
Indeed, many senior dog adopters speak of a palpable gratitude from their new-old friends.
"They feel so grateful to be getting a second chance. You can sense it," says Nelson Bloncourt of San Francisco, cuddling Reggie -- aka Lord Reginald, a 7-year-old golden Chihuahua, who was found as a stray. They've been together two months now, and Reggie goes everywhere with Bloncourt, sitting at restaurants, walking on the beach. They even marched in the Pride Parade with little Reggie dressed as a sailor.
"Love is unexplainable," Bloncourt says. "You know it when it shows up. Reggie has some issues, but so do I, and we've been working them out together. I'm a senior also, so we do well there. Dogs don't care how old you are. They just want love."
While benefits abound, adopting a senior dog shouldn't be taken lightly. Some potential adopters express concerns with heightened medical bills for aging pets. But as pet insurance becomes more common, shelter volunteers say such costs can be less of a factor.
Some people wonder if it's a good idea to adopt a dog that may not have many years left. But Dowling notes that dogs -- just like humans -- are living longer. "Keep in mind, a 12-year-old dog today still has a lot of good years in him," she says. "Life spans for dogs are expanding rapidly because of improved vet care and nutrition, and the way people care for their pets."
Also, in an oddly practical way, a mere few years with a pet may be advantageous in today's fast-changing employment world. "You want a companion animal, but people in Silicon Valley work a lot," Dowling says. "Your life may be very different in 10 years. So -- as horrible as it sounds -- (a dog's shorter life span) is a little bit less of a commitment."
Mr. Rufus finds love
Anthony and Lori Marsella of Oakland considered all the ramifications before adopting a silver-muzzled mutt named Mr. Rufus four years ago. He's now 13 and has become quite media savvy with his own Facebook page.
"My wife and I were searching for places who rescued older dogs, and we found Muttville online and fell in love with Rufus right off the bat," says Anthony Marsella, who runs the software development team for Whole Foods in Northern California.
Rufus had been transferred from a shelter in Los Angeles, where he had been waiting for some time, possibly because of several food allergies indicated in his paperwork. The Marsellas suspect someone couldn't afford his care during the economic slump and had to turn him in.
"We talked about the life-span issue," Anthony Marsella says. "I've had dogs all my life, and I've gone through losing dogs in my lifetime, but he was my wife's first dog ever. So we talked about it. It's definitely something you need to be aware of. You might only get a couple years or even less in some cases. But even if it's only six months that you have them, you're giving them what a dog wants -- a stable home, someone to love them, someone to cuddle up with.
"Dogs are always loyal and always love you," Marsella says. "But these guys that have a second chance -- there's nothing like the look in their eyes when you come home from work. They're so grateful to be loved."

THIS was inevitable:
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones [above] speculated that the attack on the Washington Navy Yard may have been a false flag operation committed by disguised government agents in pursuit of some obscure goal to restrict liberty. Despite Jones' far-fetched and often offensive statements, conservative outlets like Fox News and the Drudge Report have continued to promote his theories — coverage that has even inspired legislative action in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
After a gunman attacked the Washington Navy Yard on September 16, Alex Jones immediately wondered if the attack was part of some conspiracy, tweeting, "Who will ...

Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater is considered by some as the best prospect among a deep class of quarterbacks in this year's NFL draft. The Raiders just might feel the same way, given they interviewed Bridgewater at the NFL scouting combine.
Bridgewater said Saturday during an interview session with media at the scouting combine in Indianapolis that he feels as if Raiders owner Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie liked him based on their meeting.
The Raiders finished the season with two inexperienced quarterbacks on their roster — third-year player Terrelle Pryor and undrafted rookie Matt McGloin. They since have signed veteran Trent Edwards.
Even so, McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen admit that the Raiders are far from set at quarterback.
"That's one of the things we've got to ultimately determine," Allen said during his media session in Indianapolis on Thursday. "That's a position that we're going to look at very closely.
"We've got two young quarterbacks that have potential. Hopefully they can develop and reach that next step, but that's obviously a position that we've got to look at."
Hence, the Raiders already met with Bridgewater and likely will meet with several more, if not all, of the top quarterback prospects before the combine ends next week.
That list includes Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, Fresno State's Derek Carr, Central Florida's Blake Bortles and Eastern Illinois' Jimmy Garoppolo.
The Raiders own the rights to the No. 5 pick in the NFL draft in May. They are assured of having a shot at one of the aforementioned quarterbacks.
Bridgewater, Manziel and Bortles are on record as saying they feel as if they are worthy of being taken by the Houston Texans at No. 1.
"Oh, yes, no doubt, I feel that I'm the best quarterback in the draft," Bridgewater said Saturday.
Allen said he isn't sure if the Raiders starting quarterback is on his roster right now.
"I don't know the answer to that yet," Allen said. " ...The quarterback position is the backbone of your football team, so we have to make sure that when we go out there this year that we've put ourselves in the best position to have success with the quarterback position."

Another 19-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman were also shot in the attack but will recover from their wounds, police said. Their names were not released but authorities said they were from Oakland.
The shooting happened about 9:26 p.m. Friday in the 700 block of 53rd Street, a short distance from the hospital.. Police said Reed, who lived in the area, and the other two, had just parked the car they were in after returning from a friend's house.
They were walking on the sidewalk when at least one person in a passing car opened fire on them, police said. At least one house was hit by gunfire but no one inside was injured, police said.
Another person drove the three to Children's Hospital where Reed died at 9:46 p.m. police said
The wounded man and woman were later transferred to other hospitals.
Sgt. Sean Fleming said police don't have a motive yet for the shooting and no arrests have been made.
The shooting site is more than two blocks from the 600 block of 54th Street near Shattuck Avenue where Donitra Henderson, 21, of San Leandro, was fatally shot Wednesday night while her 4-year-old son sat in the back seat of her car.
No arrests have been made in that case but police said there is nothing at this time to link the two shootings.
Friday's killing was the city's 32nd homicide of the year.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $20,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the gunman in Friday's shooting. Anyone with information may call police at 510-238-3821 or a tip line at 510-773-2805.

He is the iconic patron saint of Ireland, the bringer of faith, the banisher of snakes and for many Ulster Loyalists he was the first Protestant settler on the Paddy's green shamrock shore.
So on Saturday night in Armagh, the Protestants will parade for Patrick and the 'Papists' will protest.
How times have changed.
Today, Protestants in Northern Ireland are more insistent that they have a right to claim Patrick too as the founder of their Christian faith in Ireland. Indeed, some argue that his British origins and the fact that the Celtic Christian church structure he founded in Ireland stayed beyond the control of Rome for centuries, put him down as a staunch Protestant even before the Reformation.
They also point out that since the first New York parade involved Irish-born Redcoats in the colonial British Army, they have a proprietorial stake on its origins too.
St Patrick is believed to have come from Britain, first as a captive slave herding pigs and sheep at Slemish near the north coast, then as a Christian missionary to calm the savage pagan breast of his mortal flock.
He landed near Saul in Co. Down, not far from modern day Belfast, and began to convert the people. He founded his ecclesiastical centre in what is now Armagh City, near the ancient centre of power in Ulster, where the most Protestant cathedral now stands and he is laid to rest in the grounds of the Protestant cathedral in Downpatrick, also in Co. Down.

The curse of Cromwell upon you - Ireland's history spelt out in insults
Indeed, Patrick is believed to have concentrated his entire mission in the northern part of Ireland with only brief forays into the west for the rigours of the 'Reek' on Croagh Patrick.
Yet for many decades, particularly during the conflict in Northern Ireland, St Patrick and celebrations in his honour, were regarded as the cultural preserve of Irish Catholics and their diaspora, particularly in America.
The celebratory parades which have become such a huge feature of St Patrick's Day in modern Ireland really only date from the 1970s and they are modelled on the New York event that started even more modestly away back in 1762. Even 40 years ago, March 17 was observed in Catholic Ireland as a Holy Day of obligation with Mass attendance and celebrations afterwards were more modest and cultural affairs.
Since the change to razzmatazz, Protestant participation in the new St Patrick's Day was rare, particularly in the North where their big public celebrations were saved for July at the peak of the marching season.
Even in towns with organised parades, the moving force was often the local chapter of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and it was regarded as a partisan event with lots of Irish national flags and fervour.
So while the Queen of England presented her bowl of shamrocks in London to the Irish Guards regiment of the British Army and church-going Protestants often marked the day in religious services, there was little interest or motive for secular Protestants to get involved in the public parades or revelry.
But all that has changed. Meanwhile, the appeal of St Patrick's has gone beyond partisan into the realm of good public relations with every community on the island of Ireland staking its claim to a part of the celebrations. Ulster Protestants have also latched on to the international commercial appeal of the patron saint and they want a part of that too.
So since the peace process took hold, parade organisers in Northern Ireland have gone to great lengths to remove what would be regarded as divisive political symbols from their events in order to create a more 'welcoming' atmosphere for Protestants to participate. Yet while there is green in abundance, there are also tricolours by the truckload at most venues. So many Protestants stay away.
In many Protestant communities, however, they have conducted their own cultural celebrations in their own time-honoured ways and often outside the glare of publicity which focuses on the more recognisable celebrations dominated by those from the Catholic National community. The local Protestant events include a traditional drumming contest in Lurgan and a couple of big marching band parades in the north coast town of Coleraine and in the small village of Killylea, Co. Armagh, near the Border.
These band parades form the recognised curtain raisers for the annual season for the tens of thousands of Protestants involved in Loyalist marching bands. Each band hosts its own parade, inviting in others for a big annual fund-raiser to keep them going. The season, which runs to mid-October, usually features several such band parades I different towns and villages each Friday and Saturday evening.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — How do you choose a color scheme? It's really quite easy — but first you have to fall in love! Fall in love with a painting, fall in love with wallpaper, an area rug, even a floral arrangement — and the color scheme of your dreams will magically appear! Anything with a pattern — including upholstery or drapery can give your color choices a wonderful starting place.
When developing your color scheme, remember the 60 percent-30 percent-10 percent rule of thumb. Your favorite color should play a dominant role (60 percent), while other colors should be proportionate to your dominant color focus.
Historically, there were definite rules about what colors went in what room of your home. Pale colors tended to be used in more formal settings, while bright primaries were associated with more contemporary, fun looks. But, for today's color choices, whatever you enjoy — go for it!

Eagle Police were called to a local motel Jan. 20 on a report that a suspicious man had helped himself to breakfast that morning, but that he was not a guest at the facility.
When the officer arrived, the motel manager said he had spoken to the man after a member of motel staff noted that he had been eating breakfast there for the past three weekends. The manager asked the man if he was a motel guest or the guest of someone who was staying at the motel. The manager said the man became nervous and began mumbling something about how he needed to shuttle people to the airport. The man then got up and left in a white cargo van parked at the motel lot.
The manager noted that the van did not appear to be a shuttle because it had no back seats. Additionally, the manager noticed that the front plate on the van began with the number 6, but the rear plate did not match it. He photographed the plate using his smart phone and called police.
The officer traced the plate number to a trailer belonging to a local business. When contacted, the business owner who said the trailer had been rented to a plumber from Edwards who planned to store it near the Eagle County Regional Airport. The trailer owner provided contact information for the man.
The officer then drove to the Airport Drive address and while en route, he spotted a pedestrian who fit the motel manager's description of the suspect. The officer pulled over and asked to speak with him.
During the conversation, the man said he had "lost everything" and had very little money to survive. He had borrowed a van from a friend and placed the trailer license plate on it because he knew the vehicle was not registered. He also admitted to breakfasting at the Eagle motel, although he knew it was against the rules. After the conversation with the manager, the man drove to the airport and parked the van in the 30-day lot, where he removed the trailer license plate and replaced it on the proper vehicle.
The man told the officer he knew it was wrong to put the plates on the unregistered van, but he was forced to do so because of his financial problems. He also was unable to produce a valid driver's license.
The officer informed the man about various community services available to offer assistance and cited him for misuse of registration/plate. The officer also told the man not to return to the motel for breakfast unless he was a guest or a friend of a guest.
On Jan. 20, an Eagle officer was on a routine patrol around town when he spotted a pickup truck stuck in a ditch along Eagle Ranch Road. The front end of the truck was down an embankment and in the snow.
When the officer approached, the driver was attempting to get the truck out of the ditch. He told the officer that he was driving along and planning to turn left, but he was not paying attention and then decided to turn right and drove into the ditch. During the course of the conversation, the man abruptly closed the driver's side door and tried to back out of the ditch.
The officer opened the door and requested the man's driver's license. The man yelled that he did not have a license, and provided his name and a his Colorado identification card.
A second officer arrived to assist and the cops asked the driver to step outside of his vehicle. The first officer also told the driver not to shut the door again. The man said he was just trying to get the truck out of the ditch and he didn't know why he was being stopped by police. He asked if he was going to be arrested, and said that's what happened every time he is caught driving. He also asked if the police were going to take away his marijuana pipe.
The officer told the man that due to a change in Colorado law, he would not confiscate his pipe. But the officer asked the man if he had permission to drive the truck and if he had been drinking. The man said the truck belonged to his boss and that he had permission. He also said he had "a few" drinks but was not intoxicated. He refused to perform roadside tests.
The man eventually completed an eye maneuver and the officer concluded he was not intoxicated based on his performance and the absence of any alcohol odor on his breath. However, an identification check through Vail Dispatch revealed the man's license was under restraint and that he also had 15 pending restraints. Dispatch confirmed the man's status was "habitual traffic offender."
The man was taken into custody for the various offenses and officers moved the truck out of the ditch and parked it at a nearby residence.
• Officers responded to a report of possible gunfire in a residential neighborhood at approximately 10 a.m. on Jan. 22. When they arrived, they contacted a resident who said he was throwing firecrackers to scare off birds that were defecating along his walkway. The man was "strictly advised" that setting off fireworks is illegal within the town limits.
• A local man reported he lost his wedding band in the snow while walking his dogs near the bike path behind the cemetery. He said he lost the gold band when he fell in the snow and that he immediately realized he was no longer wearing it, but was unsuccessful when he attempted to locate it in the snow. He contacted police to file a report so he could claim the ring if someone turns it in.
• On Jan. 24, a wallet was turned in to the Eagle Police by a teacher from Red Canyon High School. The teacher found the wallet at the front of the school building located at Second Street and Broadway. The owner was contacted and claimed her wallet from police.

Let's all applaud Henry Bornstein whose commentary appeared in Thursday's Vail Daily. He should be applauded for clearly illustrating what a fine liberal leftist he is.
Only a true liberal would write a lengthy dissertation proposing the raising of taxes while not once mentioning the true problem, which is excess spending by the federal government, as almost everyone else knows. He never explains how more taxes will help reduce the deficit without spending cuts.

Evidence for the Implementation of the Final Solution: Electronic Edition, by Browning, Christopher R.Table of Contents
|<< A. Scale of killing
|< [Introduction] Documentar...
|C. Camouflage Langauge >
|D. Implications >>
B. Escalation:
The categories of Jews targeted for killing by the Germans steadily expanded. There is no surviving copy of pre-invasion orders to the Einsatzgruppen concerning the killing of Jews. The most specific document in this regard is a summary "in compressed form" (in gedrängter Form) of pre-invasion instructions to the Einsatzgruppen that Heydrich passed on to the Higher SS and Police Leaders of July 2, 1941. According to Heydrich, the Einsatzgruppen had been instructed "to execute" (zu exekutieren) communist functionaries, "Jews in party and state positions" (Juden in Partei- und Staatsstellungen), and "other radical elements (saboteurs, propagandists, snipers, assassins, agitators, etc." They were also instructed to "promote" (fördern) pogroms, euphemistically dubbed "self-cleansing attempts" (Selbstreinigungsversuchen), by local anti-Jewish elements but "without trace" (spurenlos) of German involvement. Finally, Heydrich noted that Himmler had explicitly ordered that he be kept continuously and fully informed of the activities of the Einsatzgruppen.30 On July 17, 1941, Heydrich issued another written order for the execution of all Jews found in German POW camps.31
From the very beginning it was clear these instructions did not limit the shooting of Jews to those strictly in "party and state positions" but rather were understood and interpreted broadly to encompass the shooting of large numbers of adult male Jews. Moreover, this interpretation was immediately approved by Himmler and Heydrich. On June 24, 25, and 27, the Security Police in Tilsit organized three mass executions totalling 526 victims who were "primarily Jews." (vorwiegend Juden) The reason given was that the Jewish population had supported the Red Army, and that in two incidents four Germans had been shot at from behind. In one execution every male Jew in the town of Krottingen was shot, and "only Jewish women and children were left." (nur jüdischen Frauen und Kinder verblieben sind) Further executions were carried out in Augustowo. "The Reichsführer-SS [Himmler] and the Gruppenführer [Heydrich], who by coincidence were present there, had themselves briefed on the measures implemented by the Tilsit Security Police and approved them completely."32 By early July the Tilsit Security Police and its subordinate border police stations reported shooting a total of 1,743 people, and one week later this figure had increased to 3,302.33
Numerous Einsatzgruppen reports of July indicate that adult male Jews, and particularly professionals and community leaders, were targeted. For example, for Einsatzgruppe C: "Leaders of Jewish intelligentsia (in particular teachers, lawyers, Soviet officials) liquidated."34 For Einsatzgruppe A: "Actions against the Jews are going on in an ever-increasing number. ...The Latvians drive the Jewish families out of town, while they arrest the men. ...The arrested Jewish men are shot without delay and interred in previously prepared graves."35 And for Einsatzgruppe B: "In Minsk, the entire Jewish intelligentsia has been liquidated (teachers, professors, lawyers, etc. except medical personnel)."36 And: "The emphasis of the operational activity was directed first of all against the Jewish intelligentsia."37 As noted already, the Tilsit commando killed all the adult male Jews of Krottingen but not the Jewish women and children. Only Einsatzkommando 3, however, gave an exact statistical breakdown between male and female Jewish victims. For the period July 22-August 3, 1941, it reported killing 1,349 male Jews and 172 female Jews.38
The escalation of the killing campaign to include Jewish women and children began in early August 1941, with clear impetus from the top SS leaders. When the 2nd SS Cavalry Regiment was preparing to sweep the Pripet Marshes, it received an "explicit order" (ausdrüklicher Befehl des RF-SS) from Himmler on August 1, 1941: "All Jews must be shot. Drive the female Jews into the swamp."39 The reply of SS-Sturmbannführer Magill demonstrated that he fully understood the purpose of Himmler's order, namely the killing of Jewish women and children through drowning, and he explained the inadequacy of the method: "Driving women and children into the swamps did not have the intended success, because the swamps were not so deep that a sinking under could occur."40
The War Diary of Police Battalion 322 shows a similar transition. In early August its third company carried out executions of all adult male Jews but still spared Jewish women and children on its march from Bialystok to Minsk. Then the chief of the Order Police met with Higher SS and Police Leader von dem Bach-Zelewski in Minsk on August 29, and the following day Police Battalion 322 was assigned to a "thorough Jewish action" (gründliche Judenaktion) or roundup in the Minsk. On September 1 third company took part in the execution of the Jews who had been seized, including 64 Jewish women. The inclusion of Jewish women was justified by their alleged failure to wear the Jewish star. By early October the Battalion was shooting Jews "of both sexes" (beiderlei Geschlechts) without providing any explanation or rationalization.41
Once again the detailed statistics of Jäger's Einsatzkommando provide the clearest evidence of the transition. On August 6, 1941, Jäger was informed by Stahlecker that the latter had received "general orders from above that cannot be discussed in writing."42 Beginning on August 15, 1941, Jäger's statistics demonstrate a sharp increase in the number of Jews being shot and the inclusion of large numbers of Jewish women and children.43
Beginning in late September, the killing campaign escalated once again when entire communities of Jews (with the exception of indispensable skilled workers) were killed in so-called "large-scale actions." (Grossaktionen) On September 19, following a decision "to liquidate the Jews of Zhitomir definitively and radically," the ghetto was emptied and 3,145 Jews were shot. The massacre of over 33,000 Jews in Kiev followed on September 29-30.44 "On November 6 and 7, 1941, the action against Jews that had been prepared for some time was carried out in Rovno, where about 15,000 Jews were shot."45 Beginning on November 30, 1941, the Higher SS and Police Leader North reduced the Jewish population of the Riga ghetto from 29,500 to 2,600.46 In December Einsatzgruppe B reported the elimination of the Bobruisk and Vitebsk ghettos through the shooting of 5,281 and 4,090 Jews respectively.47 In early December 1941 Einsatzgruppe D noted that some 10,000 Jews lived in Simpferpol; two months later, it noted that almost 10,000 Jews had been executed there.48 Such actions aiming at total extermination of the Jewish population were not limited to large cities. Following killing actions in smaller cities and rural areas, entire towns and then even entire regions were repeatedly proclaimed "free of Jews."49
In early 1942, Heydrich reported: "While the Jewish question in the Ostland (by which he presumably meant the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) can be seen as practically solved and cleansed, progress continues to be made on the clarification of this problem on other occupied territories in the east."50 Outside the Baltic the pace of killing slowed temporarily in the winter of 1941-42 for two reasons. As SS-Sturmbannführer Hofmann, head of the Security Service in Minsk, explained to a meeting of officials from the civil administration:
At present a complete liquidation of the Jews is not possible due to the frost, because the ground is too frozen to dig pits which would then be available as mass graves for the Jews. A complete eradication of the Jews was also not possible, because workers were still needed from among the ranks of the Jews.Nonetheless, Hofmann assured his listeners that "in the spring large-scale executioners would be initiated again."51
With the warming weather in the spring of 1942, large-scale killing did indeed begin again. On March 2-3, 1942, 5,721 Jews were executed in Minsk, Vileyka, and Baranovichi, and later in the month 15,000 Jews were killed in Chevron.52 As noted from the Kube's report of July 31, 1942, on the killing of 55,000 Jews in six weeks in the Minsk region, and "Report No.51 for the Führer" on the execution of 363,211 Jews in the Ukraine and Bialystok in the four months of August through November, the killing was particularly intense in the summer and fall of 1942.
At this point, even the Jewish skilled workers important to the German war economy were no longer spared, as can be seen from documentation relating to the killing of the Jews in the region of Brest-Litovsk in the fall of 1942. Informed of the impending "overall resettlement of the Jews" (generelle Umsiedlung der Juden), the SS and Polizeistandortführer in Brest-Litovsk, Friedrich Wilhelm Rohde, pleaded: "Insofar as the Jewish question is solved in Brest, I foresee severe economic damage resulting from the lack of labor." He was supported by the local commissioner (Gebietskommissar) Franz Burat: "Although the total resettlement of the Jews from the Kreisgebiet is desirable from the political standpoint, from the standpoint of labor mobilization, I must plead unconditionally for leaving the most needed artisans and manpower."53
These appeals were in vain. On October 15-16, 1942, the 20,000 Jews of Brest, including 9,000 workers, were shot.54 The war diary and reports of Police Regiment 15 show that the Jews working in camps and on state farms in the region were also executed.55 The totality with which Jewish labor was executed in this region can be seen from a subsequent report of the military armaments commando: "Then, in October 1942, there were large-scale Jewish evacuations in Volhynia as a result of which every Jew was removed from all the factories, and the factories came to a complete standstill for a shorter or longer time, or production dwindled to a mere fraction."56
In late July 1942 Himmler wrote emphatically: "The occupied eastern territories will be free of Jews. The carrying out of this very difficult order has been placed on my shoulders by the Führer. No one can take this responsibility from me."57 In the end, this included even the skilled Jewish workers providing irreplaceable manpower for the German war economy.

Eine völlige Ausmerzung der Juden sei auch deshalb nicht möglich, weil aus den Reihen der Juden immer noch Arbeitskräfte benötigt werden. ...Im Frühjahr werde jedoch wieder mit starken Exekutionen begonnen werden.) According the the Langenscheidts dictionary, "ausmerzen" has a literal meaning (in the gardening context) of to "cull, weed out" and figurative meanings of to "eradicate, wipe out," "eliminate," "expunge, strikeout," and "cast off, reject." In this context, clearly "Ausmerzung" is synonomous with "Liquidierung" or "liquidation" and hence should be translated as "eradication" or "elimination."
