INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — How far we have come since Thomas Jefferson suggested, "All a student needs is a professor to show him what books to read, and in what order." Fast-forwarding to an age when I was taught history, I felt like Huckleberry when he learned that Moses was dead. "...so then I didn't care no more about him; because I don't take no stock in dead people."
Enter living history, 2012. Today we can deliver living history to the classroom via interactive video, and I'm not talking about one classroom, I'm talking about putting Mark Twain into 50 classrooms in fifty states at the same time -and that's just for starters.
Our target date is September 21st, the name of our rocket ship is Cisco Jabber. "One small step for man, one giant leap for Mark Twain."
During this initial launch, one class from each of our 50 states will have an opportunity to ask Mark Twain rapid fire questions and see how many he can answer. One week later we follow up with an enrichment program with four or five schools in one district, making such an endeavor affordable. That same district can then request a visit from Teddy Roosevelt, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. or Joan of Arc, among others. Chautauquans can then effectively slide out from under their summer tents and step seamlessly into America's classrooms.
Teaching history is the art of connecting four dots, those dots being people, places dates and you. When the first three dots finally connect to you, well, it's like a pinball machine lighting up.
I would not pretend that Mark Twain would teach history, as his sense of history was admittedly "atmospheric." I site this example...
"Frankfort is one of the sixteen cities which have the distinction of being the place where the following incident occurred. Charlemagne, while chasing the Saxons (as he said), or being chased by them (as they said), arrived at the bank of the river at dawn, in a fog. The enemy were either before him or behind him; but in any case he wanted to get across, very badly. He would have given anything for a guide, but none was to be had. Presently he saw a deer, followed by her young, approach the water. He watched her, judging that she would seek a ford, and he was right. She waded over, and the army followed. So a great Frankish victory or defeat was gained or avoided; and in order to commemorate the episode, Charlemagne commanded a city to be built there, which he named Frankfort."
However when it comes to getting Huck out of trouble in the classroom, this is something a capable impressionist of Mark Twain can do.
The unfortunate reality is that 847 students are dropping out of school every hour of every day -a figure provided us by the college board. How many of these students might find the classroom interesting enough to hang in there if they could ask tough questions of Mark Twain and receive some stimulating answers. Perhaps we can engage some of these discouraged students by providing them direct contact with living historical characters via interactive video. Let's give it a try and find out...

GP: Medeski, Martin and Wood played with Phish recently, and someone at one show told me that your audience didn't quite know what to make of it.
Trey: Was it New Orleans?
GP: Yes.
Trey: I didn't know what to make of it in New Orleans! [Laughs.] It was an experiment. In Austin we had this incredible 25-minute jam with both bands, with this screaming peak where everyone was running around the stage at a full sprint and shit was buzzing all over the place. And then New Orleans, about three days later, we decided to go for it again and literally start from nothing, which is the big risk. But between both bands, we'd rather take a risk than not. I don't generally like saying this because I don't like to stomp on someone's experience--and people did come up and say New Orleans was an incredible experience--but I personally didn't like it. [Laughs.] I liked that we were on a limb. I'd much rather jump off the cliff than walk on the path, and we jumped. But I thought we were sucking.
* * *
As the first to review this show for .net, I'm here to tell you that it -- and particularly, the Suzy > Keyboard Army > 35min Jam with Medeski, Martin, and Wood -- DID not and DOES not suck.
The YEMMW from three days earlier is legendary, and deservedly so. Trey sums it up pretty well in the interview above... but it definitely sounds like Phish jamming away, with the members of MMW sitting in and providing accent and color. THIS night's jam is the exact inverse - it sounds like MMW at their best, engaging in one of their renowned sets of straight free improv, with the members of Phish finding the perfect space in the pocket to push and pull in slightly different directions. Great progression and natural flow between meter-free jazz, percussive chaos, and several flavors of that phenomenal MMW groove space. Throw in a spine-tingling DEG tease from Mike during an opportune breakdown, some shockingly tuneful trombone and vacuum work from Fish, and moments of Trey actually CONTRIBUTING rhythmically on his mini drum kit for a change, and you've got yourself a jam for the ages.
HIGHLY recommended... and don't sleep on yet another outstanding Fall '95 Stash in the first set.

The Many Ways (and Days) to Meditate
I, like so many, thought meditation was something only others could do. Others, for example, without quarreling children, looming deadlines or hips that mutinied at the thought of the Lotus Position. Those with minds that didn't race like a toddler on Red Bull.
Although I wanted to be someone who meditated, I wasn't someone who meditated.
Someday, I would tell myself, imagining that glorious future when my children, work schedule, muscles, joints and mind would finally and fully cooperate.
But while I was waiting, the research piled up. About how meditation improves memory. Boosts the immune system. Lowers our resting heart rate. Makes us calmer. Happier. Healthier.
I wanted some of that. Not later but now.

HOTCHKISS, Colo. (KKCO) - It's the first vineyard of its kind not only on the Western Slope, but in Colorado. And it's not only wine.
"When we put the distillery in in 2005 we also decided that we wanted to make organic spirits," said Lance Hanson, owner and operator of Peak Spirits and Jack Rabbit Hill Biodynamic Farm.
The farm is located in the hills of Hotchkiss, Colorado. It has been certified organic by the USDA since inception, and is now certified biodynamic by Demeter USA.
As more people have been buying food that has been produced by organic methods, alcohol has followed.
"I'd say the demand's gone up probably 25, 30 percent this year alone versus last year," said Rick Rozelle, wine specialist at Fisher's Liquor Barn.
Certified organic products are cultivated without the use of synthetic fertilizers, irradiation, or genetic engineering. Everything grown at Jack Rabbit Hill is not just organic. It's biodynamic.
"Biodynamic farming is going to take it one step further. Cause the manure we are using is coming from cows that we grow on the farm. And some of the herbs that we are using are herbs we can harvest here on the farm as well," said Hanson.
Estate wines are produced at Jack Rabbit Hill, earning the designation biodynamic on restaurant wine lists. Which is where most of the wine ends up, stored in kegs as opposed to using resources involved with bottling. Distilled products are designated organic as fruit is used from nearby organic orchards for production. While beer is not brewed on the farm, hops are grown and sold to micro brewers.
"It's really all about flavor. And the flavor profile. The quality of the product. And we believe that because we're using organic ingredients we're getting a higher quality more expressive product," said Hanson.
Jack Rabbit Hill is located at 26567 North Road in Hotchkiss, www.jackrabbithill.com/. To learn more about organic and biodynamic certification, visit www.usda.gov and www.demeter-usa.org.

BELPRE - Being with their children and grandchildren is what makes Mother's Day special for two Mid-Ohio Valley mothers.
Mildred Chapman, 94, said her family gathered for a dinner on Mother's Day each year.
"We always had a dinner for the whole family for Mother's Day," she said. "We lived on a farm so we always had good meals for Mother's Day and other days."

Mildred Chapman, left, and Earline Dye.
Chapman said her husband was raised on the farm where they lived.
"My mother-in-law told me he spoiled one dinner, he was born on Thanksgiving Day and spoiled the dinner," she said.
Chapman said she thinks mothering and Mother's Day have changed over her 94 years. Chapman has a son and daughter, now in their 60s.
She thinks some mothers may not enjoy their children as much as those of her generation.
"Mothers are for having fun with their children," she said. "It is different. I don't know why it's different but it is. But we had fun."
Chapman said with so many Mother's Day in her past, none in particular stand out. In her family she said the dinner to honor mothers honors more than one.
"We always celebrate Mother's Day and we're down to the children and grandchildren,"she said. "They are all family."
Chapman said she thinks the day has been too commercialized over the years, but she thinks the difference is made by how the family celebrates.
"Some stay together and some don't," she said. "It's a change, but we'll have dinner and all the kids will come and that will be the way it is."
Her children and many of her grandchildren went to Belpre High School. One grandchild, Ryan McConkey, was inducted to the Mid-Ohio Valley Sports Hall of Fame last year.
Earline Dye, 91, the mother of nine children, said there have been changes in how Mother's Day was marked when she was younger compared to today's celebration.
"When I was a child we always went to my grandmother's house on Mother's Day and then my mother's house after my grandmother died," she said. "Today my family is scattered across the country, from California to Pennsylvania to North Carolina and other places so it is hard to have anything for Mother's Day."
Dye said her 90th birthday celebration was also considered a Mother's Day celebration.
"For my birthday my daughter had a birthday party for me at the Rockland United Methodist Church," she said. "Two children were not there but it was a combined celebration - a kind of a get-together I guess.
"My birthday is in December so you have to take when you can get it."
Dye's children range from their 70s to their 50s. She said many of her children are now grandparents themselves. She has two great-great-grandchildren.
Dye, born in Fonzo, W.Va. in Ritchie County, has lived in the Wood and Washington county area since 1947, although she has moved many times, including three different addresses on the same street in Belpre. Dye said some of the moves occurred around Mother's Day. Her husband was a home builder and they moved to new houses after he built them.
Dye said she has celebrated so many Mother's Days that it is hard to pick out one that is a stand-out.
"So many things have happened I just can't pick out one thing and say 'this was it,'" she said. "It's a multitude of giving and loving."
West Virginia is the birth place of Mother's Day because of the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who organized observances in her hometown of Grafton, W.Va., and Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. As the annual celebration became popular around the country, Jarvis asked members of Congress to set aside a day to honor mothers. She succeeded in 1914, when Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.

The Seneca Indians continued adding tally marks to the win column on Wednesday as they opened play at the Carthage Tournament with an 8-3 victory over Carl Junction.
Seneca pitcher Colton Webber had a strong showing on the mound, picking up the win and running his personal record to 3-0 this season after allowing an unearned run on six strikeouts and four walks in five innings. Dalan Merriman pitched the final two innings in relief, allowing two runs.
The Indians are now 5-1 overall.
"We battled today," Indians coach Chris Yust said. "Colton pitched well again tonight and we had a good game, did what we needed to do to win."
Merriman's greatest contribution came at the plate, where he went 4 for 4, including a triple, with two runs scored and an RBI to lead the offense. Kyler Ng had two hits and scored a run, while Marty Mailes doubled, scored a run and drove in one. Cade Cornett, Brett Roark and Cole Lankford each had a hit.
The Indians' big splash came in a five-run fifth inning. Brayden Larson led off the inning with a walk before Merriman and Ng singled to load the bases. Webber and Mailes then drew back-to-back walks to score two, before Mailes doubled to drive in another run. Cornett and Roark capped the inning with successful singles to score two more.
Seneca takes on Nevada at 4:30 p.m. today in Carthage.

With summer underway, parents -- particularly those who work full time -- face the challenge of coordinating weeks of activities for their children.
Whether your kid stays home with a baby sitter, takes swim lessons through the local parks department or signs up for a dizzying array of camps, the logistics involved in patching together activities can be overwhelming.
Now a host of startups, including ActivityHero, ActivityTree, Camperoo and Famtivity, have sprung up to streamline the process for parents. Part clearinghouse, part community bulletin board, each makes it possible to find and book summer camps and recreational classes for kids online. The Web-based services are supported by ads and are free to parents. By one recent estimate, Americans spend $16 billion on summer camps and activities.
Peggy Chang, a software engineer who lives in Palo Alto, found it nearly impossible to easily organize camps for her two children. Her son, now 13, is into computer programming and tennis; her daughter, 11, does gymnastics and synchronized swimming. Finding relevant camps and registering for them became a job unto itself -- not to mention trying to coordinate schedules with other parents to arrange carpools.
"I was working full time and planning for two kids. I had a zillion browsers open to find a camp in August without a good search engine," Chang said.
That inspired Chang to co-found ActivityHero, which launched in the Bay Area in 2012. ActivityHero has a search engine that allows parents to easily find camps by type of activity, city, age group and starting and end date.
For example, you can search for a science camp in San Jose for your 7-year-old during the third week of August, or a drama camp for your 12-year-old in Oakland. You can also register for the camps directly on the site.
ActivityHero has more than 14,000 provider locations nationwide and has more than 3,500 Bay Area providers, ranging from regional camps like iDTech, Steve & Kate's, and Challenger Sports to specialized, local camps like Wheel Kids, Kids Art Bash and Wanderers Camp.
"Our traffic keeps increasing, and June is our peak month," Chang said. "It's a way to find what you are looking for and cut out the other noise. We also have a planning calendar so that you can visualize the schedule and share it with friends and family."
Famtivity, another startup that helps parents find, share and manage their kids' activities, has raised $500,000 in funding from angel investors. Soren Kaplan, a consultant and author of the best-selling business book "Leapfrogging," is one of the company's six co-founders.
"If you have a kid, you immediately get the problem. It's not a hard sell," said Kaplan, who has two daughters, ages 12 and 14, and lives in Walnut Creek. "Things have changed since I was a kid. You used to play outside and come in when it got dark. Now it's a full-time job figuring out what to do between school and dinner, and in the summer. The cost of all these activities is astronomical. It's a huge, huge space."
Famtivity sees social networking as the secret sauce that will lead to growth.
"My kids don't want to do anything unless their friends are doing it too," Kaplan said. "How do you figure out which friends are the critical friends? It's social navigation that you have to do with kids, and then coordinate with other parents."
And camps and activities also come with gear, from soccer cleats to ballet shoes.
"There's all the classes, and then all the things you need to buy," said Kaplan. "It could become the Amazon of kids equipment and supplies."

ActivityTree: Claiming to be the largest online resource in the United States for parents to find information on classes, camps and sports leagues for kids, it offers a way to search for information by ZIP code, city or type of activity. It also offers discounts for programs.
Camperoo: It also allows parents to search for camps or activities, as well as register for them online. It also offers what it calls the "Camperoo Concierge" for additional help.
Famtivity: In addition to offering the ability to search for activities, it emphasizes the ability to use social networking tools to find activities and share them with others.

Saturday's letters: The system works
Published: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 4:24 p.m.
To the editor: The main point that has come out of this 2012 election is that the American voter is alive and well.
Big money doesnt affect the election. It was the determination of our citizens to have their voice heard. Early voting being cut back in some areas didnt stop them, long lines and hours waiting in line for some voters didnt stop them. Whether your candidate won or lost, the election is over.
The Depression of the 1930s took years to fix. Our recent recession is much like that. Our recovery is slower than we like, but we are coming back.
Larry Pitcher
Too much spin
To the editor: Strung together, media reports on the Benghazi attack suggest a tale stranger than fiction.
Intelligence first fingered al-Qaida wannabes as the attackers. Ambassador Susan Rice then blamed YouTube video protesters who ran amuck. The presidents UN address harped on that nasty made-in-America video.
Subsequent intelligence releases destroyed the video did it fantasy. Rice then claimed her intelligence report made her say it. Intelligence agencies claimed the fog of war made them write it. Foggy intelligence, however, couldnt create Rices initial expression of video certainty; only deceit could.
The next spin was that intelligence agencies fabricated Rices video tale to prevent revealing classified information from ongoing criminal investigations and terrorists from knowing they are the prime suspects. Rice becomes the unwitting stooge who misinforms America so terrorists will forget the first days reports. But isnt that like trying to put toothpaste back into the tube?
Meanwhile, attention is deflected from our appalling defeat. Terrorism has shut down the critical but underprotected joint State Department and CIA Benghazi intelligence facilities.
Our security is in the hands of the Keystone Cops. Our war on terror relies on blaming America first. But who cares? We have sex scandals to ponder.
Anthony Jeric

To the editor: Saturday, Dec. 1, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. is sign-up day for volunteers for Bounty of Bethlehem. Over 600 volunteers are needed from Dec. 19-26 to help set up, prepare the Christmas Day meal, wrap toys, clean up, bake desserts, arrange coats, etc.
More than 3,000 people will experience the true meaning of Christmas from 1 to 5 p.m. Christmas Day with a free meal, toys for children and clean coats for anyone.
Please come to Immaculata School gym, Buncombe Street, Hendersonville, to sign up. Bring a friend. This is our 29th year to make sure No one is alone on Christmas Day. We will also be collecting coats and toys that day. Doors open at 8 a.m.

The Pharmers Almanac #5 says:
Attendance: 350
Capacity: 350
Ticket Price: $8-$10 .....Jesus.
The lone reviewer in this edition said that the venue was like a really large living room. wow.
To hear this show in this context would be something you would not ever forget. The power in that room had to be incredible.
Set I begins with a swift run of MSO, CDT, Mango >Buried Alive > Guelah before Fluff drops. A blazing Brother follows.....and Bouncin' to cool down. Trey tells the return to Telluride story and Hood, Golgi close out the set. Great Hood, IMO.
Set II hits the ground running with LLama, Col. Forbin's> Mockingbird during which Trey gives a Gamehendge tutorial. Then Sparkle and Its Ice (one of my long time top 10 fave ph songs) before an excellent mid set Mike's Groove. Trey kills it all. Slays it. The Antelope, too.
Great show, kinda historical, great playing from everyone...especially Trey. Good God. Check it out.

SANTA CLARA -- In an odd twist, the NFL fined 49ers wideout Anquan Boldin $7,875 for a head butt that did not draw a penalty in last Sunday's win, while the Panthers' Captain Munnerlyn did not get fined for his head butt that was penalized.
Two other $7,875 fines were issued: to 49ers running back Frank Gore for his second-quarter face-mask penalty, and to Panthers cornerback Josh Thomas for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Panthers safety Mike Mitchell was not fined for a first-quarter foul in which he sideswiped Vernon Davis. Coach Jim Harbaugh also avoided any fine for rushing onto the field to stop the clock, though he did draw a penalty.

Statement on the Current Health Care Debate
As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and were saying not just no, but hell no!
The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obamas death panel so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their level of productivity in society, whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
Health care by definition involves life and death decisions. Human rights and human dignity must be at the center of any health care discussion.
Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the presidents health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff, in a floor speech to the House of Representatives. I commend her for being a voice for the most precious members of our society, our children and our seniors.
We must step up and engage in this most crucial debate. Nationalizing our health care system is a point of no return for government interference in the lives of its citizens. If we go down this path, there will be no turning back. Ronald Reagan once wrote, Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life well ever see on this earth. Lets stop and think and make our voices heard before its too late.
- Sarah Palin

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Regent University in Virginia has released a statement to News 12 one day after the Georgia Board of Regents voted to name the consolidated Georgia Health Sciences University and Augusta State University as Georgia Regents University.
In the statement, Dr. Carlos Campo, president of Regent University, says:
"Regent University is disappointed that Georgia's Board of Regents chose a name that so closely resembles our school's name, a name in which we have invested over many years. The Board's choice will surely lead to confusion for students seeking higher educational choices. Regent University will review our options at this time and take appropriate action as warranted."
"To say that we can't use that name because they have a similar [name] not the same wording," said Benjamin Tarbutton, chairman of the Board of Regents, "that is an opinion that they have, and we'll look forward to further discussions, if merited."

New assistants are a good fit: College Football 2013
Published: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 12:57 a.m.
It was an offseason of turnover for the University of Alabama coaching staff, with three coaches leaving town.
Defensive backs coach Jeremy Pruitt left for the defensive coordinator position at Florida State, wide receivers coach Mike Groh took the same job for the Chicago Bears and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland jumped to the Philadelphia Eagles to coach the offensive line.
Head coach Nick Saban brought in Greg Brown to coach the secondary, Billy Napier to work with the receivers and Mario Cristobal to lead the offensive line.
Saban said he's enthused about the moves.
"We're really pleased with the way all of our new additions have fit in and how the players have accepted them," Saban said. "I think at each and every position, it's a real positive. That's not to say that the guys that we had in those positions before didn't do a really good job. I think they did. I think they were rewarded for it because they got better jobs, which is really what you want your coaches to do. We're really pleased with the new additions we have. We're excited about building a team with those guys."
The highest-profile hire was Cristobal, who was head coach at Florida International for six seasons (2007-12) before briefly joining his alma mater, Miami, until Saban called.
Cristobal is known as an excellent recruiter and a players' coach.
"Mario's a really good coach," Saban said. "He's done a really good job. I think the players have taken to him. The offensive line is kind of almost a cocoon. They really hang together. They're always close. They work together. They do a lot of combination blocks together. They watch a lot of film together. It's kind of the nature. Probably out of all the positions on the team, those guys are probably closer than anybody else. You always worry when you have a new coach about how they're going to respond, because the coach is a big part of that. That's been something that has been a real smooth transition for us. The players take to Mario very easily. He's very enthusiastic. I think he's a good teacher. He really works hard with each player and cares about the players. He does a very good job with recruiting as well. He's been a real positive. His energy and enthusiasm has been a very positive addition to our staff."
Napier returns to Alabama (he spent the 2011 season as an offensive analyst) after a year with former Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Jim McElwain at Colorado State. He was at Florida State for about a month before Saban lured him back to Tuscaloosa.
The players say he's fitting in nicely with a deep wide receiving corps.
"He's a great coach, really teaches us a lot, he helps us out with our mistakes," DeAndrew White said. "So he's a real good coach."

Product Description
Final Touch Wine Enhancers allows you to experience up to twice as much scent and flavour by oxygenating your wine one glass at a time. There is nothing mysterious or difficult about serving red or white wines. But there is a simple way to vastly add to the pleasure of drinking them. It's been long known that red wines and some white wines benefit greatly from decanting which helps unlock the "hidden" flavors and aromas in wine. Until now this has involved pouring bottles into wine decanters and allowing them to settle, then pouring from the decanter into the wine glass. Final Touch Wine Enhancers oxygenates or aerates red and white wines to help release the bouquet.

Bipartisan action needed on 'fiscal cliff' Republicans need to broaden appeal
Published: Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 9, 2012 at 5:04 p.m.
With the re-election of President Barack Obama on Tuesday, it is time for Republicans and Democrats to put aside their differences and find a way to avert the fiscal cliff of automatic spending cuts and tax increases that will go into effect next year if they do nothing.
Republican lawmakers have signaled that they are willing to compromise on new revenues, and Obama must also be willing to work with them in good faith. We cannot afford a replay of the kind of deadlock that gave us last years ridiculous debt ceiling fiasco.
Its not clear whether Republicans are willing to agree to let the Bush-era tax cuts expire for the rich in order to save them for everyone else. Republicans want new revenues to come from closing loopholes and reforming the tax code. But the long overdue revamp of federal taxes is unlikely to be accomplished in the short lame-duck session remaining this year.
The problem is, the fiscal cliff wont wait. Legislation passed last year mandates automatic increases in most tax rates and deep across-the-board cuts in government spending unless Congress acts to cut the nations staggering deficit by the end of this year.
It is up to Obama, the Republican-controlled House and the Democratic-controlled Senate to find a way to avert this crisis and the widespread damage it could do to the nations gradually improving economy. Americans should demand that politicians put aside their differences and focus on constructive action to avoid another recession at all costs.
Since President Obamas victory Tuesday, Republicans have been pondering what went wrong.
Some have blamed the Democratic victory on Superstorm Sandy, which struck the Northeast days before the election, forcing Romney to stand down his attacks and allowing the president to exhibit leadership in a crisis.
Others have pointed to Romneys shifting positions on many issues and his transition from a moderate governor to a self-described severe conservative in the GOP primary, then back to a more moderate stance in the general election.
No doubt, Romneys shape-shifting made many voters uncomfortable, as did his remarks denigrating 47 percent of Americans as dependent on government. Blaming a natural disaster for such a decisive outcome, however, seems far-fetched.
The main reason for the election outcome has been evident and pointed out by many observers since Tuesday: America is changing, and Obama and the Democrats have done a much better job of embracing and enlisting these demographics. Our nation is becoming more ethnic, more urban, more educated and more connected by technology to a world of information and viewpoints and to each other. All these changes worked in Obamas favor.
Another factor that propelled Obama to victory: the presidents vaunted ground game to turn out new voters across the nation, especially in swing states. By Election Day, the Obama team claimed to have registered 1.8 million new voters in the battleground states, almost double the number of new voters the campaign registered four years earlier, Bloomberg reported.
The Republican brand has been tarnished by mishandling of the economy and foreign affairs under George W. Bush. Thus the party has been unable to achieve the durable GOP majority envisioned by Karl Rove, Bushs key strategist. Obama, not Romney, was able to tap into Americans natural optimism the same spirit that powered Ronald Reagan to victory in 1980 and 1984.
The president won 93 percent of the African-American vote, 71 percent among Hispanics, 60 percent among younger voters and 55 percent among women. Republicans cannot afford to continue to write off growing sections of the electorate. The GOP must expand its appeal to voters of all kinds.
This starts with working in good faith on legislation to reduce the deficit and reform immigration. Its also time for the GOP to abandon its obsession with repealing Obamas health care reform law and work instead to improve the law. Being the party of no wont cut it anymore.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - A storm that dumped more than a foot of snow made both skiers and motorists shout, but for different reasons.
The quick drop in temperature left roads icy and slick, said Bob Wilson, Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman.
"The storm came in and covered the road with ice, and conditions were adverse," Wilson said.
By Thursday afternoon a multitude of automobile accidents had closed Interstate 70 on and off all day between Georgetown and Vail, but no serious injuries were reported, said Trooper Josh Lewis with the Colorado State Patrol.
I-70 over Vail Pass closed in the eastbound direction Thursday afternoon and remained closed into the evening.
A number of vehicles got stuck eastbound headed up to the Twin Tunnels. A truck jackknifed in the westbound lane near Silverthorne.
No sooner did tow trucks got those wrecks cleared away, and CDOT opened both lanes in both directions, than another set of wrecks closed it again.
"It's one of these squalls that blows through and leaves icy roads," Wilson said. "We encourage everyone to slow down."
The storm dumped more than a foot of new snow on some ski resorts, and hammered Vail and Beaver Creek.
The storm started slowly, but gained momentum throughout the day.
"It was a foot of new snow by the end of the day. It just kept getting better and better," said Kim Porter, a Vail ski instructor.
Snow is likely to continue Friday afternoon, Friday night, and possibly stretch into Saturday.
"Fortunately, while there have been numerous crashes, nothing serious," Lewis said. "Lots of bent metal and property damage. With all those crashes going on at once, it's been a busy day."
Lewis reminded motorists that the best way to avoid a crash is to avoid the roads altogether. If you do have to drive, check CDOT's cotrip.org for road conditions.
"If you have to travel in poor conditions, give yourself at least twice the amount of time," Lewis said.
Even with recent snowstorms, Colorado's snowpack remains at 85 percent of normal and 90 percent of last year's readings, said the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Breeding: Northern pintails have a circumpolar breeding pattern. In North America, they breed from Alaska, the central Canadian Arctic and western Greenland south to the western and central United States. Northern pintails nest in open areas near seasonal and semi-permanent wetlands located in prairie and tundra habitats. Females typically nest on the ground in low or sparse vegetation, often far from water, and lay an average of 8 eggs.
Migrating and Wintering: Northern pintails are among the first ducks to migrate south in the fall and north in the spring. Over half of the pintail population in North America migrates through California. The majority of these birds winter in the Central Valley of California, but some continue south to the west coast of Mexico. Pintails using the Central Flyway winter in the Texas Panhandle and on the Gulf Coast of Texas and western Louisiana. The majority of pintails using the Mississippi Flyway winter in Louisiana, with smaller numbers wintering in Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. Along coastal wintering grounds, pintails concentrate on shallow fresh or brackish estuaries adjacent to agricultural areas. Northern pintails are common winter visitors to Central America, the Caribbean and northern Colombia (Scott and Carbonell, 1986).
Population: Pintails once were one of the most abundant ducks in North America but have suffered a disturbing decline since the 1950s. In 2009, the breeding population was estimated at 3.2 million birds, substantially below the North American Waterfowl Management Plan objective of 5.5 million. More than any other North American waterfowl species, the northern pintail population has suffered from persistent drought and loss of grassland habitat in the Prairie Pothole Region.
Food habits: Pintails dabble and up-end to feed on the seeds and nutlets of moist-soil and aquatic plants. They also make extensive use of waste grain.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants first base coach Roberto Kelly was taken to a local hospital after getting hit by a sinking line drive during batting practice on Saturday at AT&T Park.
Kelly was diagnosed with a concussion and released late Saturday after undergoing a CT scan. If he gets clearance from team doctors Sunday, Kelly could be on the field for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Kelly, 48, was standing behind a screen near second base when a topspin liner off Buster Posey's bat dipped over the top of the screen and hit him in the head. He was down and motionless for several minutes.
"It was one of the scariest things I've ever seen," said second baseman Ryan Theriot, who was standing right next to Kelly. "He was out."
Theriot described the sound of impact as similar to a ball being smacked by a fungo bat. "You knew it was bad by the sound," shortstop Brandon Crawford said. "It was a scary moment."
Kelly was helped off the field by team trainers and taken into the clubhouse. A few minutes later he was taken out of AT&T Park on a stretcher, but was sitting up and able to talk to paramedics.
Kelly is in his fifth season as the club's first base coach and also oversees base running and outfield defense.
The team resumed hitting after he was taken off the field, but several players said short prayers and the mood was downcast for the remainder of the workout session.
Posey said he didn't see the ball hit Kelly.
"Anytime somebody gets hit in the head you're worried," Posey said. "A head injury is always scary. You just can't take anything for granted there."

The Art of Duke Hunting is funny, sexy, and wonderfully romantic, as fans of Karen Hawkins, Elizabeth Boyle, and Victoria Alexander will most assuredly agree. And unlike the members of the Royal Entourage, you will happily recall every delicious moment of it!
Six Regency heroes — One royal hangover
Last night was a blur.
This morning is a shock.
Tonight will be a secret. . .
The Duke of Norwich has two rules: never marry and never go to sea. So on the morning after the most extravagant royal bachelor party of the century, he is stunned to find himself aboard a storm-tossed ship and locked in the arms of a proper lady.
The Countess of Derby has two rules as well: never give away your heart and never let anyone get in the way of your life's deepest passions. But Esme cannot resist Roman when all seems lost at sea. Yet when their ship returns to London, everything will be forgotten . . . as long as they can keep their secret from the Prince Regent. For if the future king commands them to marry, all their fondest dreams will be ruined. But where love is concerned, some rules are made to be broken . . .

Didn't we just buy this game back in February? No sir and / or ma'am, this is Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, a re-release of the recent release packed with a dozen new fighters from both sides of the battle and enough gameplay tweaks and extras to keep fans fighting until Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Hyper Turbo Edition comes out sometime next month (probably not true).
Are the twelve new characters powerful enough to defeat the feeling of being burned by another Capcom retail update? Let's ask our gut.
Michael Fahey, who single-handedly led the failed movement to have Squirrel Girl added to Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: If you had asked me this question in July when Ultimate Marvel Versus Capcom 3 had first been announced — a mere five months after the original game — I wouldn't have said no. I would have laughed in your face for picking up the original game in the first place and not waiting until you were certain Capcom wasn't going to screw with anything else. This is hardly a new pattern, ladies and gentlemen. There were three different versions of Street Fighter II released for the Super Nintendo in as many years, and they never dropped the price 30 percent back then. You poor, poor fools!
Yeah, I bought it too, and I was furious. But I got over it. You know what helped? The realization that to the best of my knowledge Capcom has never released a bad update to an existing fighting game. They can never seem to leave well enough alone, but is that a bad thing?
It also helps that I've spent several days fooling about with the retail version of the game, putting each of the twelve new characters through their paces (Rocket Raccoon more than most) and checking to see if the new balance tweaks are noticeable to a casual fighting game fan like myself (not really). Overall I'm impressed with the new selection (except for Doctor Strange, who should be off hovering somewhere mystically), and the addition of the new card-powered Heroes and Heralds single and multiplayer mode appeals to both the Marvel fanboy and the rampant collector in me (or it will once it's available). And hey, it's $20 less than the original, which is a damn good deal. You can still be outraged while you're getting your ass kicked by an anthropomorphic raccoon. Yes.
Capcom, never one to look away from a spin-off, a sequel, or an update, is supposed to have rebalanced MvC3 with the ultimate iteration. I'd imagine that for those who had issues with vanilla Marvel vs. Capcom 3, this is something they'd want to pick up. I'd also imagine that those folks aren't reading this and have already made up their minds. They are extra characters and whatnot, but... Me? I can't help but feeling that this is fighting game minutia, and so my gut ultimately says this: Nope.

More than 123,000 people have signed an online petition urging the Contra Costa County district attorney to drop battery charges against a transgender teen who said she was bullied at school before a fight between her and her tormentors on campus, and now attorneys on both sides are hashing out a compromise.
All four students involved in the fight at Hercules High in November were suspended, but only 16-year-old Jewlyes Gutierrez was charged with a crime, according to a petition on the website Change.org posted a week ago by her older sister. It was the fastest-growing petition on the site Wednesday, with 65,000 signatures gathered over the past 24 hours, said Mark Anthony Dingbaum, communications manager for Change.org.
Deputy District Attorney Daniel Cabral said public pressure did not drive the discussions.
"Whenever cases are pending like this, the attorney and the district attorney meet and talk about ways of handling the matter," he said. "And that's what we're doing."
Cabral and deputy public defender Kaylie Simon said late Wednesday afternoon that they were considering enlisting the help of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency to possibly facilitate a "restorative justice circle" for all students involved, which would allow them to accept accountability for their roles in the bullying and the fight, and learn from the process. But they said they weren't sure whether charges would be dropped.
"The goal of the juvenile justice system is to provide care, treatment and guidance for what's in the juvenile's best interest, and we keep that in mind -- holding people accountable but also providing that care and treatment. I think that this sort of care, treatment and guidance is consistent with the juvenile justice system," he said.
The case came to public attention when police learned that the fight involved a transgender student, and they said they were investigating whether the incident was a hate crime or a case of bullying. A cellphone video of the fight between the students was posted online, and police said at the time it appeared that Gutierrez threw the first punch.
The District Attorney's Office has declined to say whether the other students were charged, citing confidentiality laws protecting juveniles.
Simon said she asked Gutierrez and her family not to speak to the media while the discussions were going on. However, in an interview last week, Gutierrez expressed frustration that the school did not appear to take seriously her complaint that she was being bullied because of her gender identity. She said she complained in November to Catherine Floresca, assistant principal of Hercules High, about the harassment after a hostile girl spat gum at her during class. But Floresca allowed the girl to return to the classroom, where the bullying continued, Gutierrez said.
The fight on campus occurred a day or two later. "She didn't really step in and protect me," Gutierrez said last week. "She didn't know what steps to take. I feel like if you go up to somebody and report something that happened -- like some student spit gum at me -- that they should do something right away, like the student should get a suspension or detention. For them to get to let it slide and not even get a detention, that's pretty messed up."
Floresca and Hercules High Principal Jennifer Bender did not respond to phone calls and e-mails seeking comment Wednesday afternoon. Adam Taylor, executive director for K-12 schools in the West Contra Costa school district, said last week that the district was working with the school to educate students and staff about the importance of intervening immediately when bullying occurs.
Charles Ramsey, president of the West Contra Costa school board, said he asked the Hercules City Council on Tuesday for a joint meeting as soon as possible to discuss school safety and other issues.
Eliza Byard, executive director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, supports the Gutierrez petition and said she was appalled that criminal charges were filed over the fight.
"We are deeply concerned about all cases of this nature," she said. "It's important to call everyone's attention to this and awaken everyone's conscience to what's going on."
Staff writer Natalie Neysa Alund contributed to this story.

While most waterfowlers spend considerable time and effort maintaining their shotgun, boat, and decoys, they often completely neglect their duck calls, which can severely degrade their sound and tone. Haydel offers the following advice to keep plastic duck calls working as they should. "Soak calls overnight in water mixed with a little liquid soap to loosen up any particles that might be stuck in the reeds," Haydel advises. "The next morning, run water from a faucet backwards through the call to flush the particles out. Use a crisp dollar bill or dental floss to clear away any remaining debris that might be stuck between the reeds."
Most duck calls will hold their tune well for at least two or three years, but after several seasons, they may require retuning. Reeds and other internal parts may need to be replaced. "Most call makers offer retuning services and replacement parts for a small fee," Haydel says. "In our case, you can send us your call, and we'll retune it and replace any worn out parts. We also make a retuning kit that will allow you to do it yourself. It includes reeds, wedges, and o-rings and provides easy-to-read instructions on how to position them to get different pitches and levels of raspiness."
Novice waterfowlers often embrace the challenge of learning to call ducks with great enthusiasm and spend countless hours practicing. But the learning process for many duck hunters ends once they have achieved a certain level of proficiency. Haydel recommends that even expert callers should invest some time in practicing before and during the hunting season. "It's best to practice outside rather than inside a house or car because that way your calling will sound more like it does when you're actually hunting," Haydel suggests. "When you call inside, the sound reverberates off the walls and gives you an inaccurate sense of what your call will actually sound like in the marsh."
Curtis offers this additional advice. "One of the biggest mistakes beginning callers make is trying to emulate other callers rather than ducks," he says. "When you are practicing, don't listen to a recording of some other guy calling; go out to a refuge or even a city park and listen to live ducks. Or buy a CD recording of live ducks and practice making those real duck sounds on your call. The same goes for being taught to call by someone else. A great calling teacher will help you learn to operate a call and make it possible for you to sound like a duck, but that will only get you so far. You still have to know the cadence and inflection used by real ducks to become an effective caller."
And Ronquest believes there is no substitute for real hunting experience. "You have to have confidence in your calling ability, and this only comes through experience with live birds," he concludes. "Many hunters simply freeze when ducks start working because they are afraid to make a mistake. But you have to be in control and be willing to engage the birds. Now, you are going to make mistakes and mess up on flocks, but when I get so good that I no longer make mistakes, I'm going to quit duck hunting because it won't be fun anymore. It's the challenge that makes duck calling and duck hunting so addictive."

There's no shortage of places in Los Gatos to get a decent cocktail, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Willow Street Wood-Fired Pizza stands among them.
The unassuming restaurant, tucked away in Lyndon Plaza at South Santa Cruz Avenue and Main Street, has an extensive and creative cocktail menu, a tantalizing selection of craft drafts and the type of good wine list you'd expect in Los Gatos.
The Willow Street locations at Westgate and in Willow Glen, which recently added a saloon-style bar and an expanded patio, share the same cocktail menu. Those will be good alternatives when the Los Gatos restaurant's bar is being renovated the week of Nov. 5.
Fortunately, it doesn't sound like the changes will alter the bar area's casual charm. It's a very neighborhood type of place with co-workers or neighbors stopping in for a beer, cocktail or glass of wine after work or before heading off for a night on the town. There's a good number of regulars, but the bar staff is friendly enough to make everyone feel at home.
A couple of flavorful gin cocktails at Willow Street shouldn't be missed. The first is the Lost in Thyme Martini ($8), which mixes Beefeater gin with lemon juice, a house-made thyme-infused syrup and a sprig of thyme as a garnish. The Good Life ($9) is less sweet and has more citrus flavor, thanks to the addition of both grapefruit and lemon juice to the gin and substitution of a dash of Angostura bitters and basil for the thyme syrup. Mine was garnished with a thick slice of grapefruit peel.
The Kentucky Buck sounds much stronger than it is. It uses Jim Beam bourbon infused with strawberries. Lemon juice and bitters are added, and the whole thing is topped with a tangy ginger beer. Served in a tall glass over ice, it's a very refreshing cooler that's best enjoyed on warm afternoons.
The Wild Cat ($10) is listed as a house specialty. With four kinds of rum -- including Bacardi's superstrong 151 -- plus pineapple and orange juice, it was a little tropical for my mood. Similarly, the Willow Street Sangria ($8), which includes brandy as well as the expected red wine, fresh fruit and citrus juice, seemed best reserved for a Saturday afternoon.
I loved that most of the wine list can be served either as a glass, bottle or a "glass and a half," which I'm betting is a popular choice. The labels are mostly Californian, with a splash of Italy thrown in and a malbec from Argentinia. Mrs. Cocktail Chronicles was pleased to see that the list of chardonnay wines included all her "friends" -- Rombauer, Storrs, La Crema and Kendall-Jackson.
When it comes to food, pizza is an obvious choice here that's perfect for sharing. We split the spicy Italiano ($14), loaded with meat and peppers, on a thin crust. But the Meze Plate ($11) -- a platter of cannellini beans (cooked with tomatoes, garlic and basil), mozzarella, hummus, olives and warm bread -- is a great alternative, as is the do-it-yourself bruschetta ($8), which has chopped Roma tomatoes, mozzarella and toasted garlic bread deconstructed on the plate.
I'm a bit of a bar geek when it comes to glassware, and I was practically giddy when I saw my cocktail arrive in an old-style "coupe" glass, with a deep, rounded bowl that instantly gives you the sensation of sipping bubbly at the Stork Club.
My wife was similarly impressed with the chalice-shaped glass that her Leffe Brown Ale was served in, and other beers come in a standard pint glass or a larger glass mug.
It's those little details that help set a place apart from the rest, and I'm looking forward to coming back for another round when the new look debuts.
The details: Willow Street Wood-Fired Pizza, 20 S. Santa Cruz Ave., Los Gatos (other locations in Willow Glen and Westgate Shopping Center) 408-354-5566 (Los Gatos); www.willowstreet.com
Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday; 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday; 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Are Camera Apps Enough for Photo Enthusiasts?
It's become pretty obvious that smartphones — and apps that let you edit and share photos — are crushing low-end compact cameras that offer little more than phones in terms of image quality.
Mobile photography, for better or worse, has changed the way we take snapshots and why we take them in the first place.
But now the question is: are smartphones also hurting the sales of more capable cameras used by photographers and hobbyists?
More people are asking that question now, because sales of interchangeable-lens cameras – those models that let you swap out different lenses – have been declining this year, after enjoying years of robust growth. This category includes digital single-lens reflex, or DSLR, models, and Japan's Canon and Nikon are two of the world's largest manufacturers of those cameras.
Research firm IDC expects shipments of interchangeable-lens cameras to fall 9.1% to 17.4 million units this year, from 19.1 million units last year. Last year, shipments increased 20%.
When it comes to the quality of photos you can take, and how much control you can have over how you take pictures, there is no comparison between DLSRs and smartphone cameras. Take the image sensor — the eye of a camera – for example. Sensors commonly used in DSLRs are far larger than tiny sensors inside smartphones.
The lens also makes a huge difference. All of those physical advantages enable DSLRs to take photos that are simply impossible for smartphone cameras to take. You can, for example, isolate the subject by keeping the background blurry, capture fast-moving objects or take brilliant shots even under very low light.
But declining sales of interchangeable-lens cameras are spurring concerns that changes in consumer tastes could be affecting even that market. As more consumers share their snapshots on social networks, numerous photo-editing apps – from Instagram and Google Inc.'s Snapseed to increasingly popular VSCO Cam — are allowing people to play with mobile photography in ways we couldn't have imagined five years ago. To some extent, those apps are fulfilling people's need to feel creative.
The question is whether this trend is preventing some consumers from entering the world of more traditional photography where enthusiasts collect lenses from the likes of Canon and Nikon and keep upgrading their cameras.
Canon believes that the market for its interchangeable-lens cameras, despite the recent decline, has room for growth in the long run.
"Taking photos with smartphones and editing them with apps is like cooking with cheap ingredients and a lot of artificial flavoring," said Canon spokesman Takafumi Hongo. "Using interchangeable-lens cameras is like slow food cooked with natural, genuine ingredients."
The company will have to work harder to make more people see the value in the latter kind of cooking, he said.

Green Monsters: 3 Nutrition Powerhouse Drinks
A while back, a few members of The FIRM Believers Web Club started chatting about how they make "green monsters" in their blenders using spinach, kale, avocado and other green gems. These monsters were essentially the healthiest drinks that I've heard of!
The idea was somewhat novel to me. Because I really enjoy eating whole vegetables, I've never really considered juicing. And because I am not a fan of juicers that extract the fiber out of the fruits and vegetables, I never really considered making my own juices. But these FIRM Believers changed my mind, and my blender is now getting a workout!

I don't have a GoPro, but I think it would be good for filming your friends surf. Could get some good barrel shots if you're paddling out or something.
The coolest footage ever (...lost it on a stolen laptop....) was when we clamped it on my friend's great dane's collar and let him "fight" his mastiff (no mike vick, these dogs live better than I do, they just play around a lot) but the video was effign terrifying.
go pros can be really fun. i love to use them on downhill bike to analyze lines on runs but for surfing, especially with the board mount, i think the footage looks weak/lame.
I think surfing animals are lame! I know its not a product, but its dumb. Saw some guy over seas with a damn lama on his board and thought the lama loved it.
carbon fiber surfboards
this is personal opinion but I'm gonna add beater type boards.

"John Morse has conceded!" yelled Daniel Cole, the Executive Director of the El Paso County Republicans.
Those four words set off an eruption from supporters in the El Paso GOP headquarters. Within minutes, the man selected to replace Morse, Bernie Herpin, talked about the voter's power.
"You have reminded us that elected officials are accountable to those who elect them," Herpin said. "I am truly honored to be given this opportunity to restore your faith in government."
Gun control legislation spurred this historic recall effort. Morse became the first Colorado legislative leader to be recalled from his position by voters.
While a new face will now occupy the District 11 seat, Herpin admits that the controversial laws that put him there probably aren't going anywhere for now.
"I don't think that there will be enough support in the legislative session to roll that back," Herpin said.
With millions of dollars coming in from out of Colorado to support both sides in the election, Herpin mentioned this vote sent another message as he took a swipe at New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
"We believe in personal responsibility, personal freedom, we don't want some guy telling us what size big gulp soda we can drink, how much salt we can use or what the capacity of our magazines should be," Herpin said.
Herpin will serve the remainder of Morse's term, which expires next year.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Feb. 11, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Augusta commissioners just wrapped up an emergency meeting behind closed doors. It had to do with documents that could be connected to companies owned by city leaders.
Commissioner Grady Smith thinks it's time to change the ethics code.
"Commissioner Grady Smith asked us to put that on the agenda," said City Administrator Fred Russell.
Smith is at it again. Last year he placed a bid to do plumbing work with the city.
It was a violation of the code of ethics and he's working to change it.
"There shouldn't be a single commissioner benefiting directly or indirectly from the taxpayers' dollars," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
Smith had the legal department draft an amendment. It gets rid of the current code and makes it OK for commissioners to do business with the city.
"If you can know firsthand what's going on, then you have a leg up on other people who don't," said resident Alyce Jenkins.
"I don't think that will be fair to the other folks," said resident Betty Lynch.
"When you have a direct influence on those dollars and we've got numbers, we know the dollar amounts we need to spend on certain contracts," Mason said.
Commissioners know what the bids are, how much the city has to spend and which companies are making the bid.
"If you're going to run a business, then you should exclude yourself from any voting processes or decisions on who gets a contract," Jenkins said.

Huge fan of HBO's cult police procedural The Wire and campaign fundraisers that are unironically attended by the show's cast members? Have at least $500 to spare? Then you're in luck!
The Obama campaign is throwing a Wire-themed bash on Martha's Vineyard next month, and all your favorite drug dealers, crooked cops, underhanded union leaders, and corrupt politicians will be there.
Actually, it's unclear which of the show's cast members will actually make an appearance, but President Obama, who recently referred to The Wire as "one of the best shows of all time," is, understandably, sitting this particular shindig out.

BALTIMORE -- This is now back-to-back awful defensive performances by the Raiders -- last week it was at home to Doug Martin and Tampa Bay, and this week it's in Baltimore to an offense that is not presently considered to be at any elite level.
Today, the Raiders D did decently versus Ray Rice and the Ravens run game (except for the ridiculously easy TD run in the final minute of the first half).
What the Raiders couldn't do was stop anything involving Joe Flacco and the Baltimore pass offense, especially deep or over the middle, and those are not two areas you want to be wide open to running receivers.
Also, the Raiders failed to be prepared for a fake field goal late in the third quarter -- granted, it was already a 41-17 Ravens lead, and John Harbaugh's call to have holder Sam Koch run it in was not very kindly.
It was Harbaugh-style running it up to get to 48-17, no doubt.
But this is the NFL -- you want to stop a team from running it up, you tackle somebody, and the Raiders hardly did any of that Sunday.
Early in the third quarter I saw Tommy Kelly gather the defense together for a pep talk and the next series they held the Ravens to a three-and-out ... except Phillip Adams fumbled the ensuing punt and one play later Flacco threw another TD.
We'll see how Dennis Allen handles all this. Because this is bad.
This is the low point of his tenure so far, and Allen's response is very important. Or things will keep heading in a downward trajectory, as has happened many times in the Raiders' past.
Check back later for Tim's full column out of Sunday's game.
