BYU football: Provo celebrates stunning win
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
PROVO — People danced in the streets.
They hugged perfect strangers.
They lit off fireworks.
And in general, they celebrated and celebrated and celebrated.
For a city home to a university that's won the title of "Most stone-cold sober" for 12 years in a row, Provo didn't look, act or feel like Provo Saturday evening.
In the wake of BYU's stunning 14-13 upset over No. 3 Oklahoma, spontaneous celebrations erupted throughout this city and lasted well into the early hours of the morning on Sunday.
BYU fans formed impromptu gatherings at places like LaVell Edwards Stadium, the Marriott Center, and the Wilkinson Center, among others, and several hundred of them showed up at the Provo Municipal Airport to welcome home the team when it landed at 1:45 in the morning.
It was a celebration unlike anything Provo had experienced in a long time.
"I've never seen everyone in Provo so excited after a game," said 21-year-old student Laurie Angell, who had been very sick for the past two days but nonetheless showed up at the Provo airport to celebrate BYU's arrival.
She wasn't the only one who felt that way.
BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall and his wife, Holly, had no idea that so many BYU students had showed up at the Provo airport when the team touched down just after 1:45 a.m. on Sunday. But after doing their best to wake their three sons — Cutter, Breaker and Raeder — the Mendenhalls, with BYU players following them, took time to acknowledge the support.
"It's a first for me," said Bronco Mendenhall of the early-morning reception. "I didn't know that the victory would have this kind of a widespread response already, but I think it's fantastic that these kids would stay up and come out to welcome our team. We appreciate it."
With the BYU students corralled behind a string of orange cones, BYU's coaches and players gave high-fives to their admirers before Mendenhall took a mic and briefly addressed them.
"Our hope is that we can continue to have these kind of meetings and reunions every week," he told the fans. "We can certainly feel your support all the way from here, and I think this is just the beginning."
As was the case with his coach, BYU defensive end Jan Jorgensen was taken back by the reception his team received when it touched down in Provo but expressed appreciation to BYU's students for coming out.
"It's cool. It's really cool," said Jorgensen. "I've never seen anything like this before. Not many people have the opportunity to have this experience, so it's cool."
All in all, the reception at the airport, which was organized by Aaron Haslam, the vice president of activities for Cougar United, and executed by Dann Shumway, handler of Airside Operations at the airport, went off without any problems.
Like many other BYU students, Haslam went outside to celebrate after the Cougars held on to defeat Oklahoma in the first college football game played at shimmering Cowboys Stadium, and he quickly realized it would be fun to organize a mini-rally for the team when it arrived home in the early hours of the morning.
"I basically said, 'This needs to happen. What do we need to do?' " said Haslam, who got in touch with Shumway over the phone.
Shumway made Haslam's vision a reality.
Despite having just three hours to get ready, Shumway managed to coordinate with Provo police and did what was necessary to host the students on the airport tarmac.
"Provo police told me I was crazy, but I thought we could keep the BYU students under control," said Shumway. "They did well."
Brothers Phil and Wayne Bulsiewicz of Raleigh, N.C., appreciated the fact that they were able to celebrate with their team at what proved to be a decent-size event.
"One of the things that makes those other colleges big time is that they make it big time by coming out and celebrating," said Wayne.
For one evening, at least, BYU fans certainly made themselves "big time."

ARCHBALD - Adding two part-time police officers in Valley View School District for the rest of this school year will cost $13,000, and the money will come from the district's general fund, Superintendent Donald Kanavy said Tuesday.
The Valley View School Board on Monday voted to hire the officers. An Archbald police officer will be assigned to Valley View Intermediate School while a Blakely police officer will patrol Valley View Elementary Center.
The extra security comes after two unfounded bomb threats in the high school, one March 4 and another Thursday, caused evacuations and searches.

Another armed robbery has struck a Waikato business in the latest in a string of similar holdups across the region.
On Saturday morning two people held up the sole attendant at the Queen St Mobil petrol station in Thames, shortly after opening.
Senior Sergeant Graham Shields, of Thames Police, said a man and a woman robbed the store at gunpoint and fled with a small amount of cash and about 20 packets of cigarettes.
The robbers were in and out within a minute, he said, and if caught they could be imprisoned for up to 10 years.
Shields would not divulge the weapon used or give descriptions of the offenders, but said their trail was followed a short distance from the scene before it disappeared.
They're appealing for anyone who saw suspicious behaviour about 6.30am around KFC and Pak 'n Save to contact police.
The manager of the Mobil petrol station in Thames, who wanted to remain anonymous, was reluctant to talk about the robbery because he feared it could inspire copycats.
"I'm very hopeful that they'll get caught. They need to be caught. It's not acceptable is it?"
Shields said he was not ruling out a link with a similar robbery in Paeroa on Saturday May 3.
In that case a masked and armed robber told a petrol station attendant he had one minute to fill a bag with cigarettes before he started shooting, according to the station's owner.
Again two robbers, one armed with a long-barrelled firearm, targeted a lone attendant.
They entered the Paeroa Caltex service station about 10pm and fled with $375 cash and $1280 of cigarettes.
The case remains unsolved.
Caltex office manager Paul Milner, 32, said all leads "have been followed up at this stage and nothing came of it.
"As there have been other similar things it's going to be compared with other cases and I think they have a task force working on that," Milner said.
The development comes after an armed robbery at the Still Working Bar in Chartwell on Sunday, May 18. Two offenders armed with a shotgun confronted a staff member as he walked to his car after locking up for the night, and forced him to return to the bar and open its safe.
Detective Senior Sergeant Ross Patterson, of the Hamilton CIB, said the victim had a sum of money taken off him before he was forced to open the store's safe where the thieves took more money.
The offenders both wore gloves and hooded sweatshirts with the hoods over their heads. Fabric covered their faces.
The robbery was very similar to a holdup at nearby Chartwell Burger King in 2012 that also remains unsolved.
In another similar robbery, on Saturday, April 12, three men burst into the betting lounge in the Workingmen's Club on King St, about 9.50pm armed with a rifle and a knife.

Panels take SPCA largely off the grid
Relevant offers
SPCA Southland is largely self sufficient when it comes to energy, thanks to the biggest solar power system of its kind in New Zealand.
SPCA Southland operations manager Richard Hay said he understood the new SPCA building near Invercargill would be self sufficient for seven months of the year, generating enough power to supply the building and sell some back to the grid.
The building has central and underfloor heating and had a special filtration system that purified and recycled the air, he said.
The system was installed by Tansley Electrical.
Representative Shane Brown said the SPCA's solar power set up used laminate photovoltaic panels instead of the common glass type.
It was the biggest solar power system of its kind in New Zealand, he said.
Each panel looked like a piece of lino and was glued to the roof so they blended in.
The 99 panels collected energy and fed it to six inverters installed at the SPCA, which converted the energy to power the building.
"You basically have your own power station on your roof," Mr Brown said.
The system cost between $80,000 and $90,000 and would have paid for itself in about seven years.
Mr Brown said businesses were the perfect customers for solar, because most businesses operated during the day and would use the power they were generating, while residential customers usually used more power at night.
"The interest is there, but the problem is most businesses don't actually own the buildings they're in."

The solar power compromise: Sacrificing desert to save the Earth - Page 2 - latimes.com
Larry LaPre, the Bureau of Land Management's wildlife biologist for much of the Mojave, said some aspects of the project have been carefully considered and painstakingly done. Other approaches, however, are "complete nonsense," among them BrightSource's experimental approach of shearing the tops of desert plants so they fit under elevated solar mirrors. The company calls it "gentle mowing." "To get another barrel cactus, even a small one, takes 100 years," he said, driving around the Ivanpah construction site. LaPre peered through the windshield and ticked off what living things might be left after the developers complete their work. "The birds are already gone. They're outta there," he said. The site "will have plants, short plants, and it will have mice and kangaroo rats and some lizards. That's it. Maybe some more common birds. The insects are an unknown, because you could have massive losses of pollinators because you have all these insects getting burned in the mirrors." Jeffrey Lovich studies desert tortoises for the U.S. Geological Survey. In preparing a recent paper, he and a colleague scoured published research analyzing impacts from large solar farms on wildlife. They found one paper. Essentially, Lovich said, no one knows what will happen to wildlife in the Mojave. "This is an experiment on a grand scale," Lovich said. "Science is racing to catch up."
I don't know whether it is the incompetent but predictable subsidy loopholes which allowed businesses to make profit without doing anything, or the tone of the article, or the scientists expressing worries above. And although it's not mentioned, part of this project was initiated because of the nationalistic hoopla about energy independence.
I guess the upshot is: something has got to give if we want to decarbonise the economy. But we keep pretending it doesn't. Next stop: Lalala-land.

Publication: 2016, 880 pages, hardcover
Price: $89.00
Contents, Preface, Ordering, Home
This is a thoroughly rewritten version of the 1999 2nd edition of our best-selling nonlinear programming book. New material was included, some of the old material was discarded, and a large portion of the remainder was reorganized or revised. The number of pages has increased by about 100.
The book provides a comprehensive and accessible presentation of algorithms for solving continuous optimization problems. It relies on rigorous mathematical analysis, but also aims at an intuitive exposition that makes use of visualization where possible. It places particular emphasis on modern developments, and their widespread applications in fields such as large-scale resource allocation problems, signal processing, and machine learning.
The 3rd edition brings the book in closer harmony with the companion works Convex Optimization Theory (Athena Scientific, 2009), Convex Optimization Algorithms (Athena Scientific, 2015), Convex Analysis and Optimization (Athena Scientific, 2003), and Network Optimization (Athena Scientific, 1998).
Among its special features, the book:
Provides extensive coverage of iterative optimization methods within a unifying framework
Covers in depth duality theory from both a variational and a geometric/convex analysis point of view
Provides a detailed treatment of interior point methods for linear programming
Includes much new material on a number of topics, such as conic programming, neural network training, proximal algorithms, and alternating direction methods of multipliers
Provides a detailed treatment of interior point methods for linear programming
Focuses on large-scale optimization topics of much current interest, such as incremental methods, and parallel and distributed computation, and their applications in machine learning and signal processing
Includes a large number of examples and exercises
Was developed through extensive classroom use in first-year graduate courses
From the review by Olvi Mangasarian (Optima, March 1997):
"This is a beautifully written book by a prolific author ... who has taken
painstaking care in making the presentation extremely lucid ... The style is
unhurried and intuitive yet mathematically rigorous."
"The numerous figures in the book are extremely well thought out and are
used in a very effective way to elucidate the text. The detailed and
self-explanatory long captions accompanying each figure are extremely
"The 80 pages constituting the four appendixes serve as a masterfully
written introduction to the field of nonlinear programming that can be used
as a self-contained monograph. Teachers using this book could easily assign
these appendixes as introductory or remedial material."
"This book contains a wealth of material... Throughout this book, well-prepared graphics illustrate ideas and results.

BUTTE, Mont. - They played for rival high schools, teamed up at the community college level and are on opposing sides once again.
By DAVE CAMPBELL
MERCED – The Ripon High girls water polo team overcame adversity en route to capturing third place with a 4-1 record in the El Capitan Tournament, which culminated in an epic 8-7 come-from-behind victory over host El Capitan.
LODI - Paced by Alex Gonzales' second-place score of 89, Ripon High's girls golf team further established its claim as the top team in the Valley-Foothill League North Division by dominating the mid-season tournament at Micke Grove Golf Links.
Angel Garay did it all for the Manteca Jaguars varsity with three offensive touchdowns, a 51-yard interception for a touchdown, six tackles and a fumble recovery in a 36-0 shellacking of the host Ceres Seahawks in Cen-Cal action on Saturday.
A walking stick can be a very handy tool if you spend much time at all in the outdoors. It can help you keep your balance as you wade across a swift stretch of stream. It can be used to bash a rattler that is endangering your kids or dog. I even read of a case in the Pacific Northwest where a lady was walking with her small grandson when he was attacked by a mountain lion. The Grandmother beat on the lion until it dropped the boy and she was able to get him to the hospital in time ...
Earlier this week I had to take a day off of work to visit my dentist. The next day when I returned to work I had several of my coworkers ask me how the fishing was. They were obviously implying that I took the day off to go fishing.
Last week, I stopped by the Tracy transit Center to attend a meeting of the Tracy Fly Fishers. The scheduled speaker was an old fishing buddy from Stockton, Leo Gutierrez, who gave a demonstration on making both specialized leaders and making balsa wood bass poppers. Leo's presentation was excellent and I learned a lot. It was great seeing old friends and making new ones.
From as far back as I can remember I was told that there would be a time when the fish would magically start biting. In fact, I've listened to countless tournament anglers' talk about a 10-minute window of time when they caught all of their winning fish.
The long trek to Rocky Mountain Raceways, just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah, for last Saturday's Century Motorsports & Marine 122 presented by Retro Custom Metals 28 proved to be a very worthwhile trip for Manteca's Jacob Gomes.
Highland Creek is a beautiful high alpine stream flowing out of rugged peaks and through flower- studded meadows.
In the recent months I've been posting pictures of some of my bigger catches online. The responses that I've been getting from family and friends has been interesting. Of course, some of them want me to take them fishing.
Eric Morales ran for 95 yards on Saturday to lead the Manteca Cowboys varsity to a 46-0 DYSA win over the Travis Falcons at East Union's Dino Cunial Field.
STOCKTON - The New Stockton 99 Speedway closed the books on both the 2015 Tri-Holiday Classic and regular racing season under perfect weather conditions on Saturday night.
When my kids were in elementary school, we took them to visit Dinosaur National Monument near Vernal, Utah.

"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after."- Henry David Thoreau
There's an old saying that "one man's junk is another man's treasure."
The Manteca Little League Red Sox took advantage of six walks to put up 12 first-inning runs and never looked back in a 21-8 win ...
Over the years I have periodically reported on historic or collectors guns that have come up for auction.
Last week, I mentioned that I was going to be fishing for bass with a childhood friend.

Title: Frost protection for non-native citrus trees from Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:With ice predicted, should I pick citrus, lemons, limes, satsumas that are not quite ready?
From Wikipedia: Citrus is a common term and genus (Citrus) of flowering plants in the rue family, Rutaceae. Citrus is believed to have originated in the part of Southeast Asia bordered by Northeast India, Burma (Myanmar) and the Yunnan province of China. Citrus fruit has been cultivated in an ever-widening area since ancient times; the best-known examples are the oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and limes.
We wish we could help you, but Mr. Smarty Plants confines his answers to questions concerning plants native to North America and in the area in which those plants are being grown; in your case, Travis County TX. We have no experience with citrus trees as all are non-native to North America. We did, however, find an article from the University of Florida on Protecting Citrus from Cold.

Day 4 of the 2015 Big Ten Baseball Tournament featured two outstanding games.
Big Ten fans have been treated to plenty of outstanding individual plays in the first three days of the 2015 Big Ten Baseball Tournament.
It was just over 24 hours ago that Michigan State's Ryan Krill demolished a go-ahead grand slam to deep right field in the bottom of the eighth inning to help No. 5 Michigan State rally past No. 8 Nebraska, 9-7.
We have seen several impressive double plays turned during this year's Big Ten Baseball Tournament. However, the one Indiana catcher Brad Hartong made on Friday is best of the bunch up to this point.
The 2015 Big Ten baseball season has been filled with plenty of outstanding moments.
The Big Ten on Tuesday announced the 2015 Baseball All-Big Ten teams and individual award winners, as selected by the conference coaches.

New Kansas Supreme Court decision on self-defense
On October 23, in the case of State v. Hendrix, the Kansas Supreme Court said that "a jury instruction on self-defense is not warranted unless the defendant has used actual physical force."
When Rodney Hendrix believed that his sister Charlotte Brown was about to slap him, he told her to back away or he would "break her neck." Subsequently charged with criminal threat and aggravated assault, he asked the trial court for a jury instruction on self-defense, The judge refused. The Court of Appeals upheld the trial court on the grounds that the self-defense defense requires that the defendant have used actual physical force. The Supreme Court affirmed.
According to the Court, the self-defense statute is unambiguous and covers only use of force, not threat of force. K.S.A. 21-3211 states: "A person is justified in the use of force against an aggressor when and to the extent it appears to him and he reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or another against such aggressor's use of unlawful force."
So if Mr. Hendrix had actually punched his sister, he would have been able to use self-defense in his subsequent batterty trial. Since he was able to de-escalate the situation with a mere threat of force, he cannot.
I find this to be an absurb result. Surely the legislature did not intend the self-defense statute to force people to hit or shoot an assailant when a threat would suffice.
I agree with the dissent who gives this hypothetical:
"Consider the following example. One evening, a large man approaches a woman in a menacing manner and threatens, 'I'm going to hurt you!' Worried for her life, the woman takes a gun from her purse, points it at her assailant, and says, 'Stay where you are!' The assailant turns and runs.
"Assume for the sake of the example that the woman is subsequently charged with aggravated assault. While she successfully repelled her attacker with constructive force, she is not entitled to a self-defense instruction according to the majority opinion. Had she actually shot her assailant, she may very well have been entitled to that instruction under that same rationale. This bizarre result cannot have been intended by the legislature in its enactment of K.S.A. 21-3211 (Furse 1995)."
I hope the legislature takes note and amends the law to cover the threat of force, as well as the use of force.
