Judy Stock, wife, mother of four, author, began setting her brother's history columns into word processing. As she always reads copy, she received her knowledge of history almost by osmosis. This developed into a love of our country's Constitution. Judy tends to get very upset when people misinterpret the Constitution. She thinks our founding fathers wrote very clearly, and what they wrote needs nothing added or deleted; they meant what they said.

ALAMEDA -- There's a school of thought that the best way to get a starting quarterback ready to play is to give him most of the work in practice.
"I agree with that, but I can't control any of that," Raiders quarterback Matt Leinart said Thursday after splitting practice work with Terrelle Pryor. It's a unique situation with a guy like Terrelle, who I know they probably want to see what he can do for the future.
"I understand the business part of the league. Would I love all the reps? Absolutely. But that's not the case, and that's fine."
Coach Dennis Allen said both players got work Thursday and no decision had been made as to the starter in Sunday's regular-season finale against the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium.
When offensive coordinator Greg Knapp was asked if he truly did not know the starter, he said, "Correct ... we want both guys to be able to have a chance to compete for the job."
Knapp said getting Leinart and Pryor ready reminded him of his days as offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons when he had Michael Vick and Matt Schaub, two quarterbacks with different styles.
It's conceivable both quarterbacks will play against San Diego, and each will have plays at his disposal that play to his strengths.
"Some of this will be driven off of Matt being a pocket passer," Knapp said. "There's some plays where Terrelle's athletic skills can be used and maybe move him outside of the pocket and take advantage of his athleticism outside."
Leinart conceded he didn't play as well as he had hoped against Carolina (16 for 32, 115 yards, one interception), but that it wasn't all bad.
Leinart rejects the idea that he's already reached his ceiling, making it more valuable to get a look at a prospect such as Pryor.
"No matter what the naysayers say, I still feel like I can play, and I'll think that way until the day I retire," Leinart said. "But you only get so many opportunities in this league. That's why this weekend would be awesome."
Asked if he expected to share the job with Pryor, Leinart said, "I really don't know. I have no idea. I just want to play some way, somehow."
Seymour's contract extension voids, making him an unrestricted free agent. He missed the previous seven games with a hamstring strain, and his roster spot likely will be filled by a practice squad player before Sunday's game.
The Raiders coaching staff credited Seymour with 27 tackles in eight games, with five tackles for loss, including three sacks.
Only Palmer has definitively been ruled out, although it looks as if rookie Tony Bergstrom is being prepped to start at right guard in place of Brisiel. Brisiel was cleared medically from his concussion, but his ankle is an issue, Allen said.

SAN JOSE -- Judy Vargas was among the first defenders to cover James Jones. It did not go well.
The longtime worker at a San Jose homeless shelter used to chase the future NFL receiver around the corridors when play time was over. "That was me," Jones said, "always trying to run the other way when someone said, 'Come here.' She was one of the main people I was running from."
Vargas has it easier these days. Jones is back at the shelter, having made it clear he's never going away.
Jones signed a three-year, $11.3 million contract with the Raiders during the offseason. And though he'd always kept a connection to this shelter and to others who helped him escape the poverty of his youth, he had done so from afar. The former San Jose State star spent the first seven seasons of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers.
The Raiders, of course, signed him not for his giving but for his receiving. Jones is coming off a career high in receiving yards (817) despite playing through nagging injuries last season. He led the NFL with 14 touchdown catches in 2012.
Jones, 30, has spent training camp in Napa angling for a spot on a depth chart that also includes Rod Streater, Andre Holmes, Greg Little and Denarius Moore.
'I've been in their shoes'
On the night before camp opened, shortly after 5 p.m. on a Tuesday evening in July, the San Jose native went home -- or at least as close as he could get. The Family Supportive Housing's San Jose Family Shelter, where Jones and his mother, Janet, once spent several months, has relocated down the road to here, on North King Road.
In anticipation of Jones' arrival, the cafeteria is speckled with residents wearing Raiders gear. Jones and his family, including his mother, spend the evening dishing out chicken, ribs, baked beans, cornbread, macaroni and cheese, salad and banana pudding catered by Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que. Jones wears plastic gloves and an apron to shield himself from the sauce.
People come back for seconds, which is the highlight of Jones' night. One of the things he remembers most about being homeless is that the food could be lousy.
"I've been in their shoes, where a lot of the meals daily are not that good. A lot of the meals still leave you hungry," he said. "(Tonight) you see the little kids coming back for seconds with a smile on their faces. One kid came up and said, 'This is real cornbread. The cornbread is so good.' That's why we come."
Vargas, in her 19th year on the staff, dines at a corner table. She is asked what it means to have Jones back, this time as an honorary co-worker. "I think he means inspiration," she said. "I think he means success. I think he means that if he can do it, then it's up to them to succeed also."
Vargas' eyes scan the room.
"This can be just a pit stop," she said.
A few weeks earlier, Jones had given the residents food for thought. He gave a talk about his own life story, and how he had changed the plot line. Jones pulled himself up by his bootstraps and eventually strapped on cleats at the Super Bowl.
"He believes in hand up, not a handout," said his wife, Tamika, who met Jones while they were both students at San Jose State. "So anybody who can help them get on their feet, that's what he's interested in. It's not a sad time. It's a joyous time. It's a time to say, 'I know you're here, but this isn't the end.' "
An unstable childhood
Jones lived in and out of shelters from age 8 to 14. His father, also named James, wasn't in the picture at that time. His mother, Janet, took James and his sister, Desiree, to a friend or relative's place on some nights and cheap hotels on others. When there was no money left, they went to homeless shelters like this one.
Jones attended seven elementary schools. Packing never took long. His only prized possessions were a backpack and a basketball.
"The worst part about being homeless is not knowing what your next step is, not knowing where you're going to lay your head next," he said, shortly after serving up the last plate of the night. "You only get a certain amount of time you can stay here. And once those three months are up, that's the scary time. Because now where are you going to go?"
Jones' life stabilized when he reached high school. He was 15 when he decided he could leave his mother's side and went to live with his paternal grandmother, Bernice Calhoun, who ran a strict home. Janet Jones, who had struggled to hold down employment, found a job and an apartment and came to all of James' games.
Jones thrived at Gunderson High, averaging 18.2 points on the basketball court, jumping 6 feet, 8 inches in the high jump during track season and starring as a quarterback, receiver and safety on the football team.
When he got to San Jose State, he and Tamika found each other through mutual friends. But it took many years before his future wife fully understood about his life to that point.
"Believe it or not, no. A lot of his friends from high school, and even in middle school, never knew he was homeless," Tamika said. "If somebody wanted to go to his house to play. He would just say, 'Oh, no. Not today. My mom said I can't have company.' "
Tamika found out many of the gritty details only after the Packers selected Jones in the third round of the 2007 draft. News stories detailed his odyssey of homelessness, and with each one Jones slowly felt more comfortable about opening up.
These days, Jones wants everyone to know his tale, especially those who are in his shoes. He started his own foundation, Love Jones 4 Kids, and became so active in the Green Bay charity scene that "I think the whole community cried when he left," said Mary Deckert, a board member of the Freedom House Family Life Advancement Center in Green Bay.
"Not just because he was a good football player, even if he was that, too, but just because he was a great guy. He was always humbled and never forgot where he came from."
A passion for giving
Deckert recalled how Jones would help with annual community service announcements, pitch in with fundraising and stop by in person. More than once, he made friendships with the residents that continued long after he left.
"For him to come to the shelter and look somebody in the eye, somebody who feels totally worthless because they can't take care of their family, and say, 'You can turn this around' -- that means something to them," Deckert said. "If I say that, they just say, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah.'
"What he does, it's priceless. You can't quantify the value of that to somebody in need."
Jones said he is continuing his connection to his Green Bay charities, even from his new East Bay address. He doesn't want to leave them in the lurch. But he concedes that it's extra special to be doing his charity work from the Bay Area.
"It's changed because I'm really giving back to my town, to my people," he said.
Desiree Lopez, who fled domestic violence to live in the shelter, was among those enjoying the Jones dinner. Lopez and her 9-month-old son were both wearing Raiders gear. "For someone like that to do something like this is just amazing to me," she said. "You don't see too many famous people coming and giving back."
She said she recently found a permanent home in Nevada and hopes to become a registered nurse.
Jones said that he still gets emotional on nights like this when he reflects on all he's been through. He even remembered the way Judy Vargas used to chase him around and tried to wrap him up, just like NFL defensive backs do these days.
"She wasn't as good as they are now," Jones said, "but she definitely got me ready."

JUL 07, 2013 - Guitar World
A Must Read - Share
A few years ago, the editors of Guitar World magazine compiled what we feel is the ultimate guide to the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.
The list, which has been quoted by countless artists, websites and publications around the world, starts with Richie Sambora's work on Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" (Number 100) and builds to a truly epic finish with Jimmy Page's solo on "Stairway to Heaven" (Number 1).
To quote our "Stairway to Heaven" story that ran with the list, "If Jimmy Page is the Steven Spielberg of guitarists, then 'Stairway' is his Close Encounters."

Baume et Mercier Mark: Only Perfection
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:04:29 PM in Baume & Mercier (29)
Baume et Mercier, renowned for its complicated watches, is determined to leave positive marks throughout its history. The brand was founded in the 1830's at Switzerland by founding brothers Louis-Victor and Célestin Baume, who set out their precise definition of what their company's craftsmanship should be. "Accept only perfection; only manufacture watches of the highest quality," a motto Baume et Mercier still upholds today with unwavering loyalty. The brand has truly made its marks, garnering various awards and recognition including the famous token of exceptional craftsmanship and quality "Poinçon de Genève" or Geneva Hallmark in 1919. Baume et Mercier has also owned a large number of patents, including the Planetary Motor which is designed for extra flat automatic watches. Today, the company's watch workshop in Les Brenets in the Swiss Jura Mountains, continues its 180-year tradition of accepting only perfection and manufacturing watches of the highest quality.

Better late than never.
Though September's above average rainfall did little to help summer staples such as corn, soybeans and hay, it has helped ensure a more bountiful fall offering.
"We've just had rain at the right times. We've had a wonderful pumpkin harvest and also our corn maze is great," said Mona Barrett, owner of Sweetapple Farm in Vincent.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Tom Burch inspects some of the few remaining apples at Hidden Hills Orchard, where he and wife Cathy have been forced to scale back apple sales this year. An April freeze killed many of their apples, and summer drought conditions stunted the growth of the remaining crop.
While corn was one of the crops hardest hit by the dry summer weather, Sweetapple's corn is planted much later than corn intended for harvest, explained Barrett.
"This corn is planted strictly for the maze and about the week before Thanksgiving, we allow the cows to go in and eat the corn," she said.
Along with the corn maze, Sweetapple offers school tours, pumpkin patches and a variety of local produce and products. The pumpkins, which are just as large as always, have already been popular with visitors, said Barrett.

"They really like to pick their pumpkins out of the field. It is just the joy of the family getting together," she said.
While Sweetapple's fall favorites have fared well, Barrett acknowledged that not all fall crops have been as lucky.
"We sell local apples and everyone has said their apple crops are much less than what they normally are," said Barrett.
Hidden Hills Orchard, located on Ohio 26 and formerly known as Grimm's Green Acres, has been forced to greatly scale back apple sales this year.
"This year we are going to end up closing early because we are going to end up running out of apples," said Cathy Burch, who owns the orchard along with husband, Tom.
On a good year, Hidden Hills wholesales apples to Giant Eagle and offers a pick-your-own apples business at the orchard. This year they have had to scale back.
"This year all we are doing is picking ready pick apples," said Burch.
But unlike summer's scrawny crops, the year's unsteady apple crop can not entirely be attributed to the drought. A cold snap in the spring killed much of the apple crop, said Burch.
"We were more affected by the freeze last April. The trees that did still have apples on them, because of the drought, they did not size out," she explained.
Thankfully, last year's apple crop at Hidden Hills Orchard was the best Burch has ever seen. Many of last year's extra apples were made into nonperishable products like apple butter, apple cider, apple salsa and apple jelly, which Burch has been selling at her orchard and at local farmers' markets.
"We still had apples in January last year and this year they will all be gone by mid-October," said Burch.
The orchard will close after it participates in the Little Muskingum Watershed Association Fall Foliage Tour, which takes place Oct. 13 and 14, said Burch.
Fall leaves might have also benefited from the recent rains. The dry summer may have led to leaves changing color and falling earlier than usual, but September rainfall has helped them hang on to their branches, said Karen Eddy, coordinator of the LMWA Fall Foliage Tour.
"I think they were dying more so than changing," said Eddy of the early changing leaves.
But rather than falling early and leaving a barren landscape for the foliage tour, the leaves still provide a thick, colorful backdrop.
"I think we just got enough rain right at the right time to slow them down a little bit," said Eddy.
She anticipates that the upcoming foliage tour will be one of the best ever.
"Each year it seems like they just get prettier," said Eddy of the "leafscape."

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks signed forward James Sheppard to a one-year, $1.3 million contract Tuesday, leaving defenseman Jason Demers as the only regular from last season's lineup not in the fold.
Sheppard's contract came 24 hours after forward Tommy Wingels agreed to a new three-year, $7.4 million contract. General manager Doug Wilson said having both 26-year-olds under contract was important to the rebuild he said the franchise is going through.
"He certainly played well down the stretch and in the playoffs," Wilson said of Sheppard. "This is a very important summer for him to come back and start the beginning of next season right where he left off."
Wingels, Wilson said, "epitomizes exactly what we're looking for in a player. ... The way he plays the game is certainly important for this phase we're going through."
The longer contract for Wingels shows a commitment on both sides as he agreed to give up his first two years of unrestricted free agency.
Wingels, speaking from Florida where he is getting married to his college girlfriend this weekend, said he was "humbled by the opportunity" to sign the long-term deal and did not sound put off by talk of a rebuild.
"If they think we have a better chance to take one step back to get a couple steps closer, that's a decision Doug has to make," Wingels said. "As a player, you're committed to your team and you're committed to whatever decision the general manager makes."
Attempts to reach Sheppard were unsuccessful.
San Jose's nominee for the Masterton Trophy in 2013, Sheppard was acquired from the Minnesota Wild in 2011 for a third-round draft pick. He missed the next season recovering from knee surgery, split a year between Worcester and San Jose, then found a regular spot last season.
He had four goals and 16 assists in 67 games, but came on strong late in the year on the third line and was one of San Jose's few overachievers in the playoffs with two goals and four assists in the seven-game loss to the Los Angeles Kings.
Sheppard was Minnesota's first-round selection in the 2006 draft and the ninth player taken overall.
Demers, 26, filed for arbitration last week after he and the Sharks, who showed their interest in keeping him by issuing a qualifying offer June 30, could not reach agreement on a new deal.
"We'll get him under contract -- it's just trying to find a middle ground that works for him and works for us as far as dollars and term," Wilson said. "He's another guy who had a good season, probably wasn't overly pleased with his playoffs but will learn from it."
"Minor tweak, just soreness from not skating," said Wilson, playing down the problem while declining to provide further details. Hertl missed 45 games last season after a knee-on-knee hit, but came back to play the final two regular-season games as well as the playoffs.

Word around the ranch is that Britney Spears may not be long for the "The X Factor."
That's what she gets for not acting insane like we all thought she would.
Us Weekly quotes an anonymous "insider" as saying, "Britney will get the boot. Producers wanted her for the long haul, but it isn't working." A supposed second informant added, "They paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps." And just for the sake of piling on, Us tapped a third source who said "He wanted crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney."
This is terribly upsetting.
According to E! News, "X Factor" honcho Simon Cowell has yet to officially confirm or deny the rumors, so until then, they are just that. Besides, he's busy with Carmen Electra. Meanwhile, there's always a chance Spears could blow a gasket. Fingers crossed.

Hillary Clinton: Judge Presidents on Their Records
TEMPE, Ariz.–A young woman asked Hillary Clinton the question so many people want answered – and found a way to phrase it that made it difficult for the former secretary of state to duck.
"Mrs. Clinton, if you don't represent women in politics in America as future president, who will?" the woman asked.
Mrs. Clinton, her husband and daughter were on stage at Arizona State University, taking part in panel discussion Saturday tied to the Clinton Global Initiative charitable project.
The young crowd in the campus auditorium shouted their approval and stood and applauded, as Mrs. Clinton smiled broadly.
TV late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel, who was moderating the discussion, jumped in.
"To add to that, when you do run for president will you use the old Clinton campaign lawn signs?" he asked.

Mrs. Clinton said, "Look, I am very much concerned about the direction of our country. And it's not just who runs for office, but what they do when they get there."
She then tried to segue into the importance of empowering young people. But Mr. Kimmel wouldn't let her off the hook.
"She wants an answer!" he said.
"I'm getting to it," Mrs. Clinton replied.
Then: "I'm obviously thinking about all kinds of decisions."
Cue Mr. Kimmel.
"Do you think you and the president will have another child?"
Spotting an escape route, Mrs. Clinton turned the focus to her daughter.
"Well, no, but I wouldn't mind one of those grandchildren I hear so much about."
"Unapologetic pressure. In public and private," Chelsea Clinton said.
Mr. Kimmel quipped that, faced with the inevitable question about her future political plans, Mrs. Clinton "threw [her] daughter right under the bus."
For the record, Mrs. Clinton has said she is mulling whether to run for president and will make a decision later this year.
That hasn't stopped people from asking about her plans in virtually every public forum she attends.

One Sunday last fall, I attended the Laura Isaacs Appreciation Barbecue. Laura is a co-worker. At 24, she lives with her cat, Spock, loves Hello Kitty and ballerina flats.
The impromptu barbecue, Cristy and Shemir's idea, was at Cristy's apartment. Shemir was the only one of us who had ever lit a barbecue fire before, so she did the honors.
Cristy made about 10 pounds of potato salad and enough hamburger patties to feed 25 people, even though there were only about eight of us altogether.

Last weekend I went home. Home for me is with my husband in Florida but it's also Southern California, "the O.C."
The occasion was my niece Jennifer's wedding. She's the first one in our family to graduate college. She's beautiful, inside and out, and smart - a high school guidance counselor for at-risk teens. Her new husband, Marc, is a rookie firefighter.
The outdoor wedding took place in San Juan Capistrano. It had a Baja, Mexico theme. My mom and dad live in Baja.
Campbellsville Woman's Club had its annual Lawn & Garden Tour on Saturday. Eleven homes were a part of this year's tour.
We're doing the happy dance at my house these days. It started when, one day last week, I went to turn on the TV in the living room and it popped, which is never a good sound coming from a major appliance or electronic device.
My husband had been pining for a flat-screen, high-definition TV for months and I've balked at the idea. Our TV was good enough.
But that morning "good enough" became "dead." Later that day Barry called me at work and said, "Before you start screaming, hear me out."

I spent four and a half days last week with my middle finger on my left hand either in a stiff brace or taped together with a neighboring finger.
I'm not sure what happened, but I was at work Monday, typing, and I noticed my middle finger hurt every time it hit a key and then I noticed it had turned purple. The more I typed the more it turned purple and then it turned numb.
That's not normal, I thought, and then ignored it. I'm a firm believer in la la land. Ignore things and they'll go away. Probably. Maybe, if I hope really, really long and hard enough.
Saloma Baptist Church is celebrating the annual "Sunday at Green River Lake" on Sunday with all Sunday school, worship and various activities taking place at the Green River Lake State Park.

A picnic and time of fellowship and recreation follows. The public is invited.
Recently, I cleaned out the kitchen junk drawer and came across the coveted Granola Eating Spoon. Technically, it's a sugar spoon: short and round, the perfect size for eating cereal, especially granola, because the raisins don't fall off the sides.
Years ago, for some reason everyone in my family constantly fought over that spoon, and one person in particular went so far as to deliberately get up earlier than anyone else just to be the one to get it before anyone else could.
It was utterly childish and sparked even more childish squabbles:

Even though we appreciate our furry friends year round, there is no time like
the holidays to dote on your cat. In the spirit of yule tide tradition, here are
12 ways to holistically improve your cat's quality of life. More...
Even though we act like it's true, pets aren't just like people. Ingesting empty-calorie snacks every once in a while can have a much greater impact on pets than humans, and not in a good way. Even feeding a diet of premium food may not offset the potential damage of ingesting "junk foods", which often contain unsavory ingredients including artificial flavors and colors. In this particular health equation, it isn't just a matter of subtraction (or taking away the bad stuff). Thanks to Dr. Jane's wholesome recipes, you can actually add nutrients to your companion animal's daily intake. In this episode of Pet Talk, Dr. Sarah reveals how simple it is to make a positive change. If you want to provide your fur kids with the best possible nutritional advantage, you owe it to yourself to watch the latest episode right now. And, please, share this vital message with your friends and family, too!
For years, holistic practitioners have worked to educate consumers
about how even the slightest changes in environment, stress and diet can
cause significant changes in health. As a holistic vet myself, I believe
that nothing should be overlooked when it comes to ensuring the wellness
of our beloved buddies.
Since we know that food is the foundation for a healthy life, most
people select the best food to provide the many essential nutritional
components our dogs can't do without. But to make sure they receive the
nutrition required to help boost healthy functioning, additional
nourishment from health treats can be just what the doctor ordered. More...
While many people like the smell of puppy breath, the same can't be said for "Dog breath". It's almost universally considered as eye-stingingly unpleasant. This phrase has even been used as a play-ground insult! While it's a joke to some, when you look at the science behind foul panting, it's clear that bad breath is anything but funny.
In fact, bad breath is epidemic, affecting four out of five companion animals over the age of three. Additionally, this condition could be a sign of dental disease, which can lead to health consequences throughout the whole body, not just in the mouth. As some veterinarians have rightly noted, infections of the gums and teeth can spread to other parts of the body, including the heart, kidneys and intestinal tract … even the joints!
Brushing your dog's teeth and providing them with dental snacks are two ways to help improve the health of teeth and gums, especially in reducing the build-up of plaque. Unfortunately, however, many pet parents find brushing frustrating, which can result in a stressful experience for pets.
Thankfully, Dr. Sarah is here to share with you the proper technique for brushing your dog's teeth.
If dental health is a priority for you, watch this short, how-to video about dental care, so you can help your pet fight dental disease and bad breath.

Tamara's Forecast 2.21.13
When the weather will warm.
When the weather will warm.
Diane: Everyone who has not should grow for themselves just once their lifetime a tomatoe plant. Grow a little one in a pot somewhere. The difference in taste from the supermarket ones that are varieties that are grown to ship better is astounding. Same with cucumbers. They are soooo easy to grow, very prolific. If you can, make it your goal to have a garden next year, but start very small. You can do it in big pots. Show your children where food really comes from and let them help. Try dwarf or bush varieties if you don't have much room? Try square foot gardening. Support local farmers who raise food for good taste instead of its abilities to ship as tough as the cardboard they ship it in.

The Phantom Tollbooth
This quirky fantasy story reveals how a restless and precocious ten-year-old boy learns to appreciate the ordinary things in life after he embarks on a wondrous journey.
Milo is in a deep blue funk. Nothing and no one capture his interest. Boredom is Milo's middle name. The young boy is resigned to this state of affairs until he returns from school one day to find a package containing a giant toy tollbooth in his bedroom. When Milo puts the tollbooth together, and takes a ride on his toy car through the booth, a whimsical adventure begins. On this adventure, Milo visits Dictionpolis, the land of words, Digitopolis, the land of numbers, and meets an odd cast of characters along the way. The "watch" dog Tock, the Mathemagician, Officer Short Shift, and the Lethargarians are just some of Milo's new friends who show him how fascinating life can be.
The story's black-and-white drawings are enhanced by the exceptionally witty text. Readers will be entertained by the satire and humor here, and will learn the same timeless lesson Milo comes to understand — to cherish life's little wonders.

Mark Davis entered the season hoping to blend into the background as the Raiders embarked on a new era that would be starkly different from that which operated under his father, the team's autocratic former owner Al Davis.
But with lopsided losses stacking up, Mark is unable to sit still and remain silent. In his first full season as owner, he's speaking out, lashing out. He is venting.
He did so in the Oakland locker room two weeks ago, addressing the media -- and, by extension, the fan base -- after a 38-17 home loss to New Orleans.
He did again last Sunday, during the 41/2-hour flight from Cincinnati to Oakland after a 34-10 loss to the Bengals. And this time he went straight to coach Dennis Allen.
The first conversation of note between the two men since the season began was described as "passionate'' but not confrontational and "spirited,'' but not heated.
"He just wanted (Allen) to know, from the owner, that we have to get better,'' was the way general manager Reggie McKenzie described it.
"I wouldn't say it was heated; the most heated I got was when we first got on the plane and I told him it's not good enough,'' Davis said. "And that's what I said. I told him not long after we boarded: 'It's not good enough.' I admit I was pissed off.''
Allen acknowledged the conversation was pointed. He also understood.
"He's frustrated,'' the coach said. "He wants to win; we all do. He's frustrated and he expresses his frustration. So he and I had a long sit-down on the plane and talked about it.''
Davis, born shortly before his father came to the franchise in 1963, is nobody's football expert. He knows it. He is, however, a fierce guardian of the Raiders brand. His earliest memories are of this team, reveling in tremendous highs and the enduring embarrassing lows. He has sniffed the champagne of championships and wallowed in the despair a 14-loss season. Mark is not obsessed with the franchise, but it's in his blood.
That might explain why it's harder for him to keep quiet than he imagined, certainly with the arc of this season. Who could have visualized the Raiders would spiral so rapidly and sharply, and with barely a rumor of pluck? They entered November 3-4 and exited the month at 3-8, with each of the final three defeats by at least three touchdowns.
"Last year at this time we were 7-4 and (ahead) in the division,'' Davis said, his exasperation evident. "Then we lost four out of our last five. And that's why I didn't fight for (former head coach) Hue Jackson to keep his job.
"Well, we have five games to go. Who on this team wants me to fight for them to keep their job? Who among the players and coaches really wants to be here? Who wants me to fight to keep them here?''
Davis reiterated that he does not intend to operate as his father did, through fear and intimidation, with demeaning and often boisterous critiques. Nor would he call plays or design schemes or interfere in game plans. He recoils at the thought of talking inside football, as Al Davis routinely did.
He will, however, ask questions -- often those that would come from any other fan.
"He was asking questions and Dennis was trying to answer them,'' McKenzie recalled. "Actually, it was good because this was the first time they've really talked for any period of time after a game.
Davis said he was warmed by the conversation, largely because he caught a glimpse of Allen's intensity, something the coach has made an effort to conceal. Like many fans and some of the journalists who follow the team, Davis has been examining his coach for signs of disgust or intolerance for ineptitude.
"Honestly, I was happy to see some of that passion coming out of him,'' Davis said. "Frankly, I didn't know if it was there.''
Mark is well aware that Al Davis was criticized, especially in recent years, for running the organization as he did, without an actual organizational chart but the only true authority in the building coming from the owner's chair. The Raiders were unique because Al was unique and had experienced success being unique. He wouldn't have it any other way.
McKenzie, as a former Raiders linebacker, knows what it was like under Al Davis. He remembers that some of those flights back to Los Angeles, especially after galling defeats, were extended tongue-lashings from the boss. This owner-coach discussion, McKenzie insists, was not that at all.
"He told me, 'Reg, I want this to be your deal.' And I told him ... he knows my philosophy. ... He knows I'm not looking to fire anybody during the season -- unless they do something crazy.
"I'm not surprised that he said the things he said when we were coming home,'' McKenzie added. "We talk like that all the time.''
Davis said he remains committed to maintaining clean lines of communication and authority. He will continue to work with McKenzie -- the two speak four to five days a week -- while McKenzie deals directly with Allen, as Allen operates through his assistants, with input from the G.M.
Yet Davis acknowledged he was pleased to see Allen take the action Friday of suspending wayward and ineffective linebacker Rolando McClain for at least the next two games.
Frustrations clearly are high throughout Raider Nation. Four-game losing streaks are death on peace of mind. They also punch holes in loyalty; the game against Cleveland on Sunday at the Coliseum will be blacked out, Oakland's first since 2010.
Yet there was no mistaking the message delivered by Davis. No one heard it clearer than Allen.
"We gotta do better,'' he said. "We gotta be better.''

Upstate softball making steady climb up the rankings
Published: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 7:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 7:14 p.m.
Having climbed to the top of the Atlantic Sun Conference standings, USC Upstate softball is on the verge of gaining some national recognition as well.
Today has been designated Breast Cancer Awareness Day at Cyrill Stadium for the softball doubleheader between USC Upstate and Stetson beginning at 4 p.m. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Gibbs Cancer Center in Spartanburg. In addition, the student-athletic advisory committee will be selling T-shirts, hats, tumblers and other items to help raise money.
The Spartans, 29-3, are poised to join the NCAA Division I Top 25 for the first time in school history. They are ranked 26th, the top team among those also receiving votes. USC Upstate is ahead of Georgia, which dropped out this week. Wisconsin (27-4) was the team that replaced the Bulldogs in the poll.
Two of the three losses for the Spartans came against No. 20 Kentucky and No. 3 Florida. Since dropping the A-Sun opener, 1-0 to North Florida in early March, USC Upstate has won 14 of 15 games, 10 straight in conference play.
"We usually drop back a bit when we hit A-Sun play. This year, we're pushing right through it," USC Upstate head coach Chris Hawkins said. "… We haven't had any setbacks. We're not worried about wins and losses or what team we are playing. I think that's a big part of it."
USC Upstate plays the next six games at home. The Spartans play host at Cyrill Stadium to Stetson today (4 p.m., 6 p.m.) and Sunday (1 p.m.) before East Tennessee State comes to town on Wednesday (4 p.m., 6 p.m.).
Sophomore shortstop Maddison Keiffer from Middeburg, Fla., leads the Atlantic Sun with a .460 batting average to go with five home runs, nine doubles and 32 RBIs. But the Spartans have four of the top seven hitters in the league.
Senior catcher Ericka Harris from Wren High School is batting .426 with 10 doubles. Junior left fielder and leadoff hitter Meredith Barnes (Salem, Ore.) is hitting .400 with six homers, eight doubles and 22 RBIs. Sophomore center fielder Shellie Robinson (DeLand, Fla.) is hitting .371 with eight homers, 13 doubles and 36 RBIs. Also, sophomore third baseman Kendall Settlemyre (Hickory, N.C.) is at .351 with three homers. Sophomore first baseman Cheyenne Griffin from Byrnes High School is batting .313 with three homers and 21 RBIs. As a team, USC Upstate is batting a hefty .358.
"With such a young group last year, we were more concerned with defense and making sure everybody knew what they were doing," Hawkins said. "This year, we've been hitting two or three times more than we did last year in practice. We have a better understanding of how to hit. And they have a lot of confidence knowing that one or two players don't have to carry us like in the past. We're pretty deep."
USC Upstate also has an effective combination on the mound, freshman Jamie Ujvari (Niceville, Fla.) and junior Hannah Alexander (Lexington, N.C.) ranking third and fourth, respectively in ERA. Ujvari is 12-0 with a 1.59 and Alexander is 13-2 with a 1.70 ERA.
"Jamie adds a totally different aspect to the game," Hawkins said. "Hannah throws hard with a lot of downward movement. Jamie has a lot of movement with off-speed pitches. They complement each other very well."
Following the six-game home stand, USC Upstate hits the road for three against Lipscomb in Nashville, Tenn., and three against Florida Gulf Coast in Fort Myers, Fla. In between is April 17 at Georgia in a game that could feature at least one team in the Top 25.

About Us
The Office of Mentoring & Service-Learning (OMSL) was established in the department of Student Affairs in the Student Development division in the spring of 2000. The mission of the OMSL at City College of San Francisco is to enhance student learning, promote teaching innovations and involvement, respond to community needs and foster civic responsibility and personal growth.
The role of the OMSL is to provide guidance and support to faculty and students in meeting the goals of the faculty project, to provide outreach and procedural information to community partners, and to assess and ensure the success of the programs in meeting the goals of the college. The kind of support that the office provides includes orientation and training for peer-mentors and service-learning students as appropriate, office and procedure support to faculty, project/curriculum design consultation, outreach and communication with the community, and assessment tools and reports. When possible the OMSL will provide faculty and/or students with a stipend or equivalent.
The OMSL supports two types of programs to increase student success and transfer, and enrich the college experience with hands-on application of classroom learning.
In the mentoring program, faculty members sponsor projects and recruit student mentors who have been through a course or program and know the challenges that students will face. Mentors, with the direction of a faculty sponsor, offer academic and personal support to help students succeed. We currently have faculty sponsoring peer-mentor projects in 27 academic and vocational courses or programs.
In the Service-Learning program, students participate in co-curricular and curricular community service projects. Students enrolled in courses offering service-learning as an option are placed in the community, where they apply both their academic and practical skills for the benefit of society. Service-Learning integrates community service with academic instruction so that each strengthens the other, and provides time for reflection and critical thinking while making significant contributions to individuals, organizations, and neighborhoods. For example, students taking biology courses may contribute to habitat restoration. We also support service learning projects which are linked directly to departments and the OMSL office, such as the Civic Engagement Initiative, which places interns in community-based organizations across the Bay Area to participate in intensive internships of up to 15 hours per week. Our flagship service learning program is Project SHINE (Students Helping in the Naturalization of Elders), which places students from political science, psychology, sociology, foreign languages and health science in classrooms throughout the city to prepare elders to take the citizenship exam.

text: Sigh. I had to do a very hard thing this morning when one of my author friends on Facebook was showing off the cover of their new self-published novel just ahead of its release. Lots of favorable and encouraging comments leading up to mine. Which wasn't so favorable. The cover sucked. Three images were simply cut and pasted on a purple background - I doubt the artist (and it may have been the author, who knows) could even spell "Photoshop" let alone use it. Composition was horrid on top of that. I was polite, but stated flatly that the work looked amateurish and would do his story a disservice. I guess nobody else had the heart to state the obvious with the author being so excited and all about publishing, but folks need to understand that a bad cover will have a huge impact on a first impression. There are a bunch of folks out there who are great Photoshop jockeys - hell, both my kids can render a far better cover than what I saw. I wish writers would think a bit more about such things before rushing to print. People DO judge a book by it's cover. Okay, rant over, and I wouldn't be surprised to have a few less friends on FB after this. Update: This was a small publisher doing the work (Wings E-Press) and not the author. I would avoid that small press like the plague until they can decide to put out professional covers. Kerry

Suit filed to restore access to medical marijuana
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 10:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 10:59 p.m.
PARRISH - A 63-year-old woman suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease wants her medicinal marijuana back, and the wheelchair-bound director of the Florida Cannabis Action Network is going to court to make sure the law never confiscates her pot plants again.
Cathy Jordan's back yard was raided on Feb. 25 by Manatee County Sheriff's Office agents working on a tip that she and husband Robert were cultivating marijuana.
Deputies seized 23 plants valued at $27,600 to $34,500, according to a sheriff's spokesman.
But the state attorney's office decided it could not overcome the Jordans' medical necessity defense, and declined to prosecute.
Cathy Jordan began smoking pot in 1989 and says cannabis alleviates her painful symptoms where prescription remedies have failed.
After the raid, her husband began planting more marijuana to keep Cathy stabilized. So not only do the Jordans want authorities to return their weed, this week they filed suit in 12th Judicial Circuit Court seeking a permanent injunction against future seizures.
"They've left us in legal limbo," Robert Jordan said Wednesday. "She can use marijuana out of medical necessity, but she can't possess it or grow it. It's crazy."
Manatee Sheriff's spokesman Dave Bristow said: "We've just been notified of this and we're not prepared to talk about it right now."
According to the suit, filed by Norm Kent of the Criminal Defense Law Center in Fort Lauderdale, "the Defendant's actions are capable of repetition, yet evading review."

on January 5, 2013 - 7:51 PM
For the past three years, Sean Donaher has guided CEPA Gallery and Big Orbit Gallery, two vital Buffalo institutions dedicated to two very different kinds of visual art, through one of the toughest economic periods in memory.
CEPA, the multifloor gallery that gave Cindy Sherman her first solo exhibition in the 1970s, focuses on photography and draws artists and exhibitions from around the world. The smaller Big Orbit, headquartered in a former Essex Street ice house, presents work by Western New Yorkers in all kinds of media.
Donaher has been straddling the two organizations since 2009, when former CEPA director Lawrence Brose was forced to resign to fight federal pornography charges. During that time, Donaher has maintained the quality of the galleries' separate exhibitions and kept visitors coming through their doors. But it hasn't been an easy road, and some important components of both operations have suffered from being overstretched and understaffed.
That will change during the coming year, as CEPA officially swallows Big Orbit. The merger, long in the making, will produce two new full-time positions and promises to improve the quality of both organizations' programming and their overall stability.
The Big Orbit space will not be shuttered and no jobs will be lost. The nationally recognized collaboration between CEPA and Just Buffalo Literary Center, which share three staff positions, will continue.
New York State, through its promising Regional Economic Development Council program, will kick in $60,000 of the total $170,000 cost of the merger. That money will allow CEPA to fold Big Orbit into its operations, pay off its modest debt and, most importantly, allow the gallery to fill its long-vacant artistic director position and to hire another program assistant.
That, Donaher said, will reinvigorate both galleries' programs.
"The public will benefit by more streamlined, more well-designed, better instituted exhibitions and programs," he said. "The idea of those two positions primarily supporting the visual arts programming, it's a big deal."
It's a big deal not only for CEPA, Big Orbit and Western New York art fans who will benefit from improved and better publicized exhibitions, but for arts organizations searching for new ways to survive. While the role culture plays in the identity and politics of the region is undoubtedly on the rise, all is not well.
Places like Buffalo Arts Studio – whose executive director resigned shortly after being appointed to the job last spring, leaving artistic director Cori Wolff responsible for the whole operation – may be able to glean some lessons from the move.
And members of Buffalo's theater community, where joint grant-writing and back-office efforts lag far behind those of the visual arts community, have long been hostile to collaboration because of a misguided perception that it will result in less art. Local theaters need to move beyond the corrosive ideas that they belong to a closed society, that their work will only ever appeal to an anointed audience of insiders, and that coordinated audience-building efforts present anything other than an imaginary threat to the community's remarkable diversity.
Big Orbit and CEPA's move shows that smart mergers and organized collaboration can result in better art, which results in bigger audiences and attracts more funding. Which in turn begets exactly what? You guessed it: more art. Let's hope this welcome development marks the beginning of a new era of prosperity.

The costumed characters strolling through Times Square pose for pictures for a few bucks.
The man was dressed as an innocent Sesame Street character in Times Square – the Cookie Monster.
But according to one mother - after her two-and-a-half-year-old son posed for a fun picture with him - the man was anything but sweet, firing off vulgar language and even shoving her son.
(4/8) the Cookie Monster is under arrest facing a slew of charges.
Elmo is who two-and-a-half-year-old Samay Kurada now prefers.
He's given up on Cookie Monster after the fuzzy foul-mouthed character cursed and screamed at his mother and pushed her stroller on Sunday (4/7) in Times Square.
Parmita Kurada was with her two young sons when she says her husband left them to go to the ATM so he could tip the characters who they'd just taken a picture with, but apparently he didn't get back fast enough for the impatient Cookie Monster, who started shouting and it was not the ABC's.
The man underneath the costume, 33-year-old Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child reckless endangerment and aggressive begging in a public place.
This isn't the first time costumed characters like these who are unlicensed and unregulated have gone rogue in public.
Some have been arrested for being overly aggressive, souring kids to the allure of the characters.
