BOISE -- Thousands of runners, joggers and walkers set out to defeat what's been dubbed 'The Toughest Half-Marathon in the Northwest.'
Everyone has their own reason to race Robie Creek.
Before the start of the event, KTVB talked with people that were racing for somebody else and ones that were looking for a personal best. But the most common reason found for struggling up the steep incline seemed to be: just because.
Ken Karcher was running Robie Creek for his seventh or eighth time - he can't remember which. His reason for running the race was simple.
"I'm crazy," Karcher said. "I hate it. I don't know. Most people are the same way I think."
At 81 years young, he planned on mostly running. Karcher said he doesn't know why he keeps doing the event despite his hatred.
"Runners don't know the answer to that," Karcher said.

From one of the oldest runners to one of the youngest.
Kenny Gunning, 14, is running for his first time. He knew what to expect from the race.
"Pain," Gunning said. "Lots of pain."
Gunning runs cross country at school, but has never competed at this distance. He's running because his dad does, and he wants to be like him.
"For pride, for glory, that kind of thing," said Gunning. "It's about crossing the finish line."
For Team Malice it's about fun.
"We don't really know what to expect so we're just kind of, we just kind of want to go at this and have an adventure," said Mary Corrick.
Malice is the combination of their first names, Mary and Alice.
Even though they're on the same team, there was still competition.
"I'm planning on tripping her at the last minute," Corrick said.
Eric Zinn was running for his third time.
"I just like to get better records, see if I can beat myself, and it's fun," Zinn said. "It's a challenge."
Zinn was sporting the Superman insignia to stay motivated.
"It's don't stop," he said. "So Superman never stops. I got it on my wrist too."
Some racers were motivated to run for a friend fighting cancer.
"We are the Robie Creek 'Lou'natics, and we are running this in honor of our friend Lou Russell who has been fighting colon cancer," said Melanie McLaughlin.
Only a handful in the 'Lou'natics group had ever run the race - the rest were in for a surprise.
"You've got to be a little bit of a lunatic to run this race in the first place," McLaughlin said.
Other racers were motivated by what was beyond the finish line.
"People say it's the beer at the end, but it hurts too much to drink the beer at the end, so I don't know," said Timothy Birch. "Why do this? I don't know. I ask that question everyday. I really don't know why."
While the reasons to run varied and some didn't have a reason at all, just crossing the finish line might have been reason enough to tackle Robie Creek.

Get healthy snack ideas that keep you full and boost weight loss success
Protein is a dieter's best friend. It is an essential ingredient for losing weight and keeping it off because it's a potent calorie burner that plays a role in nearly every body function, from building shapely biceps to regulating sleep and boosting immunity.
High-protein foods take more work to chew and longer to leave your stomach, so you take more time eating (and have more time to register that you're full). They also slow down the release of carbs and fat into your bloodstream. You feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer.
Related: 11 Fast Fixes for Instant Energy
Thing is, eating a steak or a piece of chicken in your car or at your desk at work isn't always realistic, so most of the foods we choose for single-fisted consumption are highly processed and lacking in this essential nutrient. Here are 6 grab-and-go proteins to take with you for a midday snack.
Jerky (beef or turkey) makes a great snack because it's low in fat, lean and savory, and high in the chewiness factor (look for lower-sodium varieties if you're concerned about the salt). You can find a wide variety of flavors, from teriyaki to barbecue. You can also find chicken and buffalo (and, in certain parts of the country, salmon) jerky. Jerky packs 10 g of protein and about 100 calories per ounce.
Roasted soy nuts
Almonds, peanuts, and cashews are great. But let's face it: You can get burned out on the same nut mix. Try roasted soy nuts for a complete protein snack; for a little extra heat, try the wasabi-flavored ones. Each 1/4 cup provides 6 g of protein and 120 calories.

McGovern an unwavering, often unrequited, liberal
With PHOTO GALLERY
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — George McGovern was an unwavering, often unrequited advocate for liberal Democratic causes. He pursued those goals in plainspoken, usually understated, Midwestern style. He was a dedicated, decent man, a devoted Democrat even when the party establishment turned away from him in defeat.
He wasn't good at political gamesmanship. He suffered his worst blunders when he strayed from straight talk in his doomed 1972 presidential campaign. It didn't fit the man and it shook the credibility he treasured.

Monday To Friday From 06:30 AM To 06:30 PM Saturday From 06:30 AM To 05:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Edgewater, Far North Side
Find anything with a Swedish flag and try it. Just be prepared to eat the cute frog kaj.
You'll find Swedish treats and coffee cake, along with all the standards in this Andersonville store.
Highly recommened – Swedish Bakery made our wedding cake and did a wonderful job. Everything from the planning, delivery, to the cake itself was great. I would highly recommend everyone who is looking for a wedding cake to schedule a meeting with Swedish Bakery to see what they can do for you.
Good choice, but be warned! – Thanks to a beautiful co-worker who treated our office to many of the excellent items on the Swedish bakery menu, there was only one, I do not recommend, and that is that white-chocolate ganache (yuck!) One of the nastiest cakes I've ever tasted.
petifores to die for! – , delicious fair priced sweets to die for, delicious fair priced sweets to die for, delicious fair priced sweets to die for
take a number and return in an hour – Way understaffed!!!!
I have waited for 20 minutes before getting my number called and its just isn't worth it.
You have to go at a time when its not so busy-but forget the weekend. The cookies are SO ridiculously overpriced for a bakery its size, and so are the cakes-pretty much everything is high. For what you pay for the service s*cks.
Also-had a cake ordered for my graduation and there was so much buttercream between the cake layers that we couldn't taste the cake; BAD CAKES!
Best Cinnamon Raisin Bread – The cinnamon raisin bread at 'Swedish Bakery' in Chicago's Andersonville neighbourhood, stands alone as the best in the city. If you want to be really decadent, use the bread to make french toast (or is it 'freedom' toast:).
And if you are celebrating a birthday, order their glazed strawberry cake with the birthday message written on a strip of green marzipan.
Be prepared for a lengthy wait, as the line can be fairly long.
Missed the mark. – I was amazed after visiting the Swedish Bakery as to the low quality of the pastries we purchased. After hearing about how good everything was, I left feeling cheated.
Best Bakery on the North Side – Swedish Bakery is the best bakery on the North Side, hands down. The cakes, the fruit tarts, the petits fours, etc., are all freshly made with the finest ingredients, fresh fruit, and real butter. It is easy to see why this place has been a favorite for generations. Stop by and buy some treats for your sweetie, or a killer dessert for when you entertain.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Bakes a variety of breads, pastries, cakes, cookies, pies and European-style wedding cakes; since 1928.
Amazingly great bakery... – Nuff said. Been around forever. Was attracting crowds before the New Andersonville. Expect to wait at peak periods...a testament to their deliciousness.

grat food – we have been there twice the food is great but we had to ask for utenils both times service is excellant I wiill go back often
we were seated in the front part of the
restuarant looking out at E14th street
the windows are filthy I don't think they
have been cleaned for a LONG while
it is not a nice view other than that like
I said food is great I will go back
nice atmosphere, margaritas absolutely awful – Tasty chile colorado and chile verde. Most everything is more american than mexican if you order the combo plates. I hope it was an inexperienced bar tender but they made the sweetest most worst margarita i can recall ever having. It tasted sweeter than a snow cone, like it was a kids drink made out of green cotton candy. You'd never know if they even used tequila in the whole process. I squeezed 5 lime chunks in it and it still tasted like pancake syrup. Major yuck.
My first trip to Tito's.. – Tito's is a beautifuly decorated restaurant! An excellent setting for a delicious meal. They serve large portions so it is an excellent value. I highly recommend the Louie's Special. It is Grilled chicken with chipotle sauce along with various other sides. Highly Recommended!!!

Giambi, who had never gotten past the first round of the playoffs in his nine-year career, batted .235 with one home run and one RBI in the six-game series, starting five of the contests. He was not in the lineup for Game 5, as his injured knee prevented him from playing in the field.
"I wanted to win. I'm greedy. I wanted it all," Giambi said. "It doesn't make me any happier that I got out of the first round or got to the World Series. It probably hurts more to get this far and walk away with nothing."
Giambi went 0-for-2 with a walk in the final game of the year, capping off a season filled with slumps and injuries for the 32-year-old. Giambi battled through an eye infection, as well as knee and hamstring injuries, batting .250 with a team-leading 41 home runs and 107 RBIs this season.
He wasn't the only one who battled injuries, as Derek Jeter, Nick Johnson, Bernie Williams and Mariano Rivera all spent significant time on the disabled list. With that many star players out for extended periods of time, Giambi said that losing to the Marlins was even harder for him.
"It's unfortunate after what this team did to get here, all the adversity, not to walk away with a World Series title," Giambi said. "It makes it a disappointing season."
Josh Beckett, who walked away with World Series MVP honors, dominated the Yankees in the final game of the season, but Giambi was proud of the way his teammates fought to the bitter end.
"We left it on the field every night. We can live with that. You just have to tip your cap to Josh Beckett. He threw a great game," Giambi said. "Even in the last inning, we believed we could come back. We just needed one guy on base to start. Nobody among us thought we didn't have a chance."
Unfortunately for Giambi, his season ended in the on-deck circle, as Jorge Posada grounded out to give the Marlins their second World Series title in seven years. Giambi, who will soon undergo arthroscopic knee surgery, watched Florida celebrate for a moment before disappearing into the clubhouse, beginning another long winter of reflection.
"I wanted us to get to tomorrow and for us to be the ones doing that," Giambi said of the celebration. "It was definitely emotional. We had our chances, we just couldn't come up with that big hit. We had the opportunity to walk away every night with a win, they just did a good job against us. They got the big hit in the extra-inning game. They went out and beat us."
Giambi knows that the 2004 Yankees will look somewhat
different from this year's club, starting with Roger Clemens' retirement. As much as the ringless players such as Giambi and Mike Mussina longed for their first title, Giambi said that the team was trying to send Clemens out on the highest of notes.
"It's definitely sad," he said. "I think everyone here wanted to win this for Roger, let him ride off into the sunset with another World Series title. With all that he's meant to baseball, we wanted that for him."
As for the other potential changes that could take place this offseason, Giambi said that he would like to see the core of this group remain together for another run at a championship.
"This team got put together late, and we just started to come together. Unfortunately, we ran out of games. It would be nice for us to have another run at it," Giambi said. "I'm sure there will be some changes. They'll do what they think they have to in order to guarantee a winner."

Crow and Raven: Baskin, Hughes, Manet, Poe on View at the Clark
For Immediate Release
October 05, 2009
Poets and artists join forces for Crow and Raven: Baskin, Hughes, Manet, Poe on view at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. This focused exhibition explores the nature of artistic collaboration as seen in two landmark publications that bring text and image together in celebration of a common subject: crows and ravens. Crow and Raven is on view October 16, 2009 through January 10, 2010.
Both of these ambitious collaborations create a seamless unification of art and poetry using the disturbing and enigmatic crow and raven as protagonists. In 1875 poet Stéphane Mallarmé and painter Édouard Manet produced Le Corbeau, a translation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. Featuring texts in both English and French, this rare edition includes five moody lithographs and an advertisement designed by Manet.
Nearly 100 years later, American artist Leonard Baskin teamed with English poet Ted Hughes on Crow: From the Life and Songs of the Crow (1973), a limited-edition book combining poems and illustrations. The exhibition includes the complete set of Baskin's twelve original drawings for Crow, on loan from Lisa Unger Baskin. Never before seen in public, these powerful drawings are the product of a long partnership between the artist and author.
The Clark's collection of prints, drawings, and photographs numbers over 5,000 and spans the history of the graphic arts from the fifteenth century through the mid-twentieth century. Works on paper may be viewed by appointment in the department's study room. To arrange a visit, call 413-458-2303, extension 360.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit clarkart.edu.

Dan Shelton of Shelton Bros. has this advice for how to approach the dizzying array of offerings at the event:
• There are several brewers that are considered "rock stars," and the lines at their booths are likely to be long. Take advantage of that, Shelton says, and go visit brewers who have shorter lines but whose products are, in many cases, just as good or better.
• Visit as many brewers as you can. "Don't sit at one booth and drink five different beers there," Shelton said.
• Try some beers you've never heard of before -- they'll be great, and you'll spend less time in lines.
• The usual advice at beer tastings is to start with lower alcohol content and work your way up to higher alcohol content. Don't worry about that here, because there will be simply too much variety.
• Take advantage of the rinse stations to wash out your glass between tastings.
• Stay hydrated, and be sure to eat something along the way.

Consisting of three tasting sessions – one Friday and two Saturday – at the Portland Co. Complex on Fore Street, The Festival is organized by beer importers and serves as a showcase for the rock stars of the beer world.
It's expected to inject nearly $1 million into Portland's economy and provide priceless exposure for local craft brewers, pubs, restaurants and businesses that cater to tourists.
Sven Bosch, 44, is flying to Portland from Mataro, a city in the Catalonia region of Spain. He's the owner of a Belgian beer cafe, The Drunk Monk (rated one of the 50 best beer bars in the world by ratebeer.com), and is coming to The Festival to seek out new American beers to serve at his bar.
"I'm staying for four days," Bosch said in an email, "two days for The Festival and then two days for tourism, maybe to visit a brewery and to visit some local pubs."
Jason Kramer, a 36-year-old pharmacist, planned to leave his home in the central Pennsylvania town of Sunbury on Thursday morning to begin his own pilgrimage to Portland by car. He planned to stop at breweries in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire before arriving at the Portland Marriott on Friday morning.
Kramer will attend all three sessions of The Festival to be sure he can meet as many of the 70 or so brewers who are attending as he wants -- the people whose names are on the labels of some of his favorite beers and who are, to the beer world, what chefs like Mario Batali are to the foodie set.
"Some of these brewers -- in our weird, demented, beer geek world -- are like celebrities," Kramer said, "and you don't get a chance to meet these people on a daily basis."
Multiply Bosch and Kramer by 2,000 or 3,000, and you have some idea of the swarm of beer lovers about to descend on the city this weekend. It's as if a cruise ship docked in Portland and let all its passengers out into the streets. But instead of going back to the ship in the evening for dinner and a place to rest, the visitors will fill the city's hotel rooms and dine in its restaurants.
There are travelers coming from as far away as England, Norway and Spain, said Robert Merryman of Shelton Bros. beer distributors, one of the organizers of the event. Some are brewers, but many are tourists coming from Europe just to attend the festival. Attendees also include craft beer fans from 20 states.
"The majority of the festival-goers come from New England and the rest of the eastern seaboard -- New York and Pennsylvania," Merryman said, "but we do have people coming from California, Kentucky, Texas and all over the U.S."
Barbara Whitten, president of the Portland Convention and Visitors Bureau, estimates that the beer festival will pump at least $750,000 into the Portland economy -- and that's a conservative estimate.
"First-time visitors to our state are highly prized because once they come here, they realize how much more there is to see and do," she said, "and they will come back and talk to other people about visiting here, too."
Whitten is particularly happy that the organizers chose Portland because the city has been working hard to promote itself as a culinary travel destination. The thousands of people expected to attend The Festival will help spread the word that "we have some great beer in Maine," she said.

Dr. Pfrimmer has served as the Principal Dean since May 1, 2005. After twenty years working on public policy issues and in the ecumenical/multifaith community, he believes churches are in the process of articulating a new public theology to address a changing context for mission and witness. Diakonia or social ministry is increasingly causing the church to engage globalization, human rights, the ecological future, and political and social questions as profoundly theological as well as social issues. Dr. Pfrimmer has a keen interest in the area of applied Christian ethics. Among the courses he has developed are Liberation and Development, Church and Society-Organizing for Community Action, Deciding How to Decide-An Introduction to Christian Ethics, and God and Globalization. Some of his recent research has focussed on a history of Canadian ecumenical social justice movements in Canada since World War II, reclaiming the vocation of government and developing a new understanding of the public.

It was love at first sight for Ria when handsome Danny Lynch joins the
real estate firm she works for, and she is amazed to discover he returns
her affections. When Ria becomes pregnant, she and Danny wed and move
into a fixer upper at No. 16 Tara Road. The home, especially the
kitchen, soon becomes the center of Ria's universe, as well as for her
friends, neighbors and family.
The years pass, and Ria is content until her world all comes
crashing down with the discovery of Danny's affair with a woman only 8
years older than their teenage daughter. What's more, the girl,
Bernadette, is pregnant. Danny abandons the home they worked so hard to
restore and moves in with Bernadette.
Ria is blindsided by Danny's infidelity. Unable to accept his
defection, she seizes the opportunity for a summer home exchange with an
American woman, Marilyn Vine.
Marilyn needs to escape the disaster of her life in Connecticut. The
chance to visit Ireland and spend the summer away from her problems
seems the perfect solution. Marilyn, a very private person, soon finds
herself unwillingly drawn into lives of Ria's friends and family.
While living in each other's homes, both Ria and Marilyn discover
secrets, that if revealed would cause profound pain to the other.
Although they have never met in person, they take on each other's causes
and as a result their own healing begins.
The strength of this book is in its extraordinary characterization.
Although the first third of the book progresses somewhat slowly, it
enables you to become firmly enmeshed in these people's lives. The
other inhabitants of Tara Road are richly drawn. Ria's meddlesome mom,
her jealous sister Hilary, her best friend Rosemary and her sometimes
difficult children, Annie and Brian.
Tara Road is often a heartbreaking read. Ria's pain is tangible, and
although her responses to the situation sometimes made me cringe, she
reacted like a real person and did not always make the best choices.
When I finished, I closed the cover with a sense of satisfaction and a
desire to visit again soon with the residents of Tara Road.

He did it Friday night, for the who-knows-how-many-this-is time of his high school career.
He did it to Pell City for the second time in as many years. I saw him do it at Pell City a year ago.
Then those little thoughts occur. We'll rip out the October page from the calendar Friday. We're nearing the end of the final high school season for one of our area's great prep stars.
Yes, we'll see the five-star Auburn commitment do it on the college level, but there's something special about seeing his man-against-boys act right here, under our local Friday night lights.
Whatever he does on the next level, and maybe a level beyond that, we saw him do it here first.
Fans of his future teams can watch YouTube. Those who saw him do it locally can just click the play buttons of our memories, and that's a rare tackle Thomas can't break.
So, make it out to Lamar Field for Friday's game against Spain Park or Oxford's playoff game the following week. Those are the last guaranteed chances to see a great one do it here.

Davis is a city in Yolo County, California, United States. It is part of the Sacramento–Arden-Arcade–Roseville Metropolitan Statistical Area. According to estimates published by the US Census Bureau, the city had a total population of 65,622 in 2010[4] (60,308 in 2000),[5] neither of which includes the on-campus population of UC Davis, which was 5,786 people according to the 2010 United States Census[4] while the "total student enrollment" is listed as 32,290 by the UC Davis website.[citation needed] It is the largest city in Yolo County, and the 122nd largest in the state, by population.[6]
Davis is known for its liberal politics, for having many bicycles and bike paths, and for the campus of the University of California, Davis. In 2006, Davis was ranked as the second most educated city (in terms of the percentage of residents with graduate degrees) in the US by CNN Money Magazine,[7] after Arlington, Virginia.[8]

Davis grew around a Southern Pacific Railroad depot built in 1868. It was then known as "Davisville," named after Jerome C. Davis, a prominent local farmer. However, the post office at Davisville shortened the town name simply to "Davis" in 1907. The name stuck, and the city of Davis was incorporated on March 28, 1917.[9]
From its inception as a farming community, Davis has been known for its contributions to agricultural policy along with veterinary care and animal husbandry. Following the passage of the University Farm Bill in 1905 by the California State Legislature, Governor George Pardee selected Davis out of 50 other sites as the future home to the University of California's University Farm, officially opening to students in 1908.[10] The farm, later renamed the Northern Branch of the College of Agriculture in 1922, was upgraded into the seventh UC general campus, the University of California, Davis, in 1959.
Geography and environment[edit]
Davis is located in Yolo County, California, 11 mi (18 km) west of Sacramento, 70 mi (113 km) northeast of San Francisco, 385 mi (619 km) north of Los Angeles, at the intersection of Interstate 80 and State Route 113. Neighboring towns include Dixon, Winters, and Woodland.
Davis lies in the Sacramento Valley, the northern portion of the Central San Joaquin Valley, in Northern California, at an elevation of about 16 m (52 ft) above sea level.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.5 square miles (27 km2). 10.4 square miles (27 km2) of it is land and 0.04 square miles (0.10 km2) of it (0.19%) is water.
The topography is flat, which has helped Davis to become known[by whom?] as a haven for bicyclists.
The Davis climate resembles that of nearby Sacramento and is typical of California's Central Valley Mediterranean climate regime: dry, hot summers and cool, rainy, winters. It is classified as a Köppen Csa climate. Average temperatures range from 46 °F (8 °C) in December and January to 75 °F (24 °C) in July and August. Thick ground fog called Tule fog settles into Davis during late fall and winter. This fog can be dense with visibility to nearly zero. As in other areas of northern California, the tule fog is a leading cause of accidents in the winter season.
Record temperatures range from a high of 116 °F (47 °C) on July 17, 1925, to a low of 12 °F (−11 °C) on December 11, 1932.[11]

Davis is internally divided by two freeways (Interstate 80 and State Route 113), a north-south railroad (California Northern), an east-west mainline (Union Pacific) and several major streets. The city is unofficially divided into six main districts made up of smaller neighborhoods (often originally named as housing subdivisions):
- Central Davis, north of Fifth Street and Russell Boulevard, south of Covell Blvd., east of SR 113, and west of the railroad tracks running along G Street. Within these boundaries is the officially denoted neighborhood of Old North Davis, which is sometimes also considered part of Downtown.
- Downtown Davis, roughly the numbered-and-lettered grid north of I-80, south of Fifth Street, east of A Street, and west of the railroad tracks, including the Aggie Village and Olive Drive areas.
- East Davis, north of I-80, south of Covell Blvd., and east of the railroad tracks. It includes the older, 'inner' East Davis of lettered streets and neighborhoods such as Davis Manor, Chestnut, and Rancho Yolo, as well as more distinctly identified (in some cases walled-in) subdivisions such as Mace Ranch, Lake Alhambra Estates, and Wildhorse.
- North Davis, north of Covell Blvd. North Davis includes Covell Park, Senda Nueva, Northstar, and North Davis Farms.
- South Davis, south of I-80, and includes Willowbank. El Macero, California, although outside the city limits, is sometimes considered part of South Davis; El Macero is part of the Davis Joint Unified School District, and El Macero children who attend public schools attend Davis' public schools.
- West Davis, north of I-80 and west of SR 113. West Davis includes Westwood, Evergreen, Aspen, Stonegate (west of Lake Boulevard and including Stonegate Lake and the Stonegate Country Club) and the eco-friendly Village Homes development, known for its solar-powered houses.
The University of California, Davis is located south of Russell Boulevard and west of A Street and then south of 1st Street. The land occupied by the university is not incorporated within the boundaries of the city of Davis and lies within both Yolo and Solano Counties.
On November 14, 1984, the Davis City Council declared the city to be a nuclear free zone.[12] In 1998, the City passed a 'Dark Skies' ordinance in an effort to reduce light pollution in the night sky. [13]

Bicycling has been a popular mode of transportation in Davis for decades, particularly among UC Davis students. In 2010, Davis became the new home of the United States Bicycling Hall of Fame.
Bicycle infrastructure became a political issue in the 1960s, culminating in the election of a pro-bicycle majority to the City Council in 1966.[21] By the early 1970s, Davis became a pioneer in the implementation of cycling facilities. As the city expands, new facilities are usually mandated. As a result, Davis residents today enjoy an extensive network of bike lanes, bike paths, and grade-separated bicycle crossings.[22][23][24] The flat terrain and temperate climate are also conducive to bicycling.
In 2005 the Bicycle-Friendly Community program of the League of American Bicyclists recognized Davis as the first Platinum Level city in the US[25][26] In March 2006, Bicycling Magazine named Davis the best small town for cycling in its compilation of "America's Best Biking Cities."[27] Bicycling appears to be declining among Davis residents: from 1990 to 2000, the US Census Bureau reported a decline in the fraction of commuters traveling by bicycle, from 22 percent to 15 percent.[28] This resulted in the reestablishment of the city's Bicycle Advisory Commission and creation of advocate groups such as "Davis Bicycles!".
In 1996, 2001, 2006, and 2009 the UC Davis "Cal Aggie Cycling" Team won the national road cycling competition.[29] The team also competes off-road and on the track, and has competed in the national competitions of these disciplines. In 2007, UC Davis also organized a record breaking bicycle parade numbering 822 bicycles.[30]
Sights and culture[edit]
Whole Earth Festival[edit]
A continuous stream of bands, speakers and various workshops occurs throughout Mother's Day weekend on each of Whole Earth Festival's (WEF) three stages and other specialty areas. The majority of the festival is solar powered. WEF is organized primarily by UC Davis students, in association with the Associated Students of UC Davis, Experimental College, and the university.
Davis Transmedia Art Walk[edit]
The Davis Transmedia Art Walk is a free, self-guided, public art tour includes 23 public murals, 16 sculptures, and 15 galleries and museums all in downtown Davis and the University of Davis campus. A free Davis Art Walk map serves as a detailed guide to the entire collection. The art pieces are all within walking distance of each other. The walk is a roughly circuitous path that can be completed within an hour or two. Every piece of art on the Art Walk has been embedded with an RFID chip. Using a cellphone that supports this technology, you access multimedia files that relate to each work. You can even leave a comment or "burn your own message" for other visitors to see. Artist hosted tours are held on the weekend by appointment only. To pick up a copy of the Davis Art Walk map, visit the Yolo County Visitors Bureau (132 E St., Suite 200; (530) 2978-1900) or the John Natsoulas Center for the Arts (521 1st St.; (530) 756-3938).
Picnic Day[edit]
Picnic Day is an annual event at the University of California, Davis and is always held on the third Saturday in April. It is the largest student-run event in the US. Picnic Day starts off with a parade, which features the UC Davis California Aggie Marching Band-uh!, and runs through campus and around downtown Davis and ends with the Battle of the Bands, which lasts until the last band stops playing (sometimes until 2 am). There are over 150 free events and over 50,000 attend every year. Other highlights include: the Dachshund races, aka the Doxie Derby, held in the Pavilion; the Davis Rock Challenge, the Chemistry Magic Show, and the sheep dog trials. Many departments have exhibits and demonstrations, such as the Cole Facility, which until recently showed a fistulated cow (a cow that has been fitted with a plastic portal (a "fistula") into its digestive system to observe digestion processes). Its name was "Hole-y Cow".
Mondavi Center[edit]
The Mondavi Center, located on the UC Davis campus, is one of the biggest non-seasonal attractions to Davis. The Mondavi Center is a theater which hosts many world-class touring acts, including star performers such as Yo-Yo Ma and Cecilia Bartoli, and draws a large audience from Sacramento.
UC Davis Arboretum[edit]
The UC Davis Arboretum is an arboretum and botanical garden. Plants from all over the world grow in different sections of the park. There are notable oak and native plant collections and a small redwood grove. A small waterway spans the arboretum along the bed of the old North Fork of Putah Creek. Occasionally herons, kingfishers, and cormorants can be seen around the waterways, as well as the ever present ducks. Tours of the arboretum led by volunteer naturalists are often held for grade-school children.
The Domes[edit]
The Domes, (AKA Baggins End Innovative Housing), is an on-campus cooperative housing community designed by project manager Ron Swenson and future student-residents in 1972. Consisting of 14 polyurethane foam-insulated fiberglass domes and located in the Sustainable Research Area at the western end of Orchard Road, it is governed by its 26 UCD student residents. It is one of the only student co-housing cooperative communities in the USA, and is an early example of the modern-day growing tiny house movement.
Farmers market[edit]
The Davis Farmers Market[31] is held every Wednesday evening and Saturday morning. Participants sell a range of fruits and vegetables, baked goods, dairy and meat products (often from certified organic farms), crafts, and plants and flowers. From April to October, the market hosts Picnic in the Park, with musical events and food sold from restaurant stands.[32] The Davis Farmers Market won first place in the 2009, and second place in the 2010 America's Favorite Farmers Markets held by the American Farmland Trust under the large Farmers market classification.[33][34]
Davis has one daily newspaper, The Davis Enterprise,[35] founded in 1897. UC Davis also has a weekly newspaper called The California Aggie which covers campus, local and national news. Davis Media Access, a community media center, is the umbrella organization of television station DCTV.[36] There are also numerous commercial stations broadcasting from nearby Sacramento. Davis has two community radio stations: KDVS 90.3 FM, on the University of California campus, and KDRT 95.7 FM, a subsidiary of Davis Media Access and one of the first low-power FM radio stations in the United States. Davis has the world's largest English-language local wiki, DavisWiki.
Toad Tunnel[edit]
Davis' Toad Tunnel is a wildlife crossing that was constructed in 1995 and has drawn much attention over the years, including a mention on The Daily Show. Because of the building of an overpass, animal lovers worried about toads being killed by cars commuting from South Davis to North Davis, since the toads hopped from one side of a dirt lot (which the overpass replaced) to the reservoir at the other end. After much controversy, a decision was made to build a toad tunnel, which runs beneath the Pole Line Road overpass which crosses Interstate 80. The project cost $14,000. The tunnel is 21 inches (53 cm) wide and 18 inches (46 cm) high.
The tunnel has created problems of its own. The toads originally refused to use the tunnel and so the tunnel was lit to encourage its use. The toads then died from the heat of the lamps inside the tunnel. Once through the tunnel, the toads also had to contend with birds who grew wise to the toad-producing hole in the ground.[citation needed] The exit to the toad tunnel has been decorated by the Postmaster to resemble a toad town.
University of California[edit]
The University of California, Davis, or UC Davis, a campus of the University of California, had an 2009 Fall enrollment of 32,153 students.[37][38] UC Davis has a dominant influence on the social and cultural life of the town.
D-Q University[edit]
Also known as Deganawidah-Quetzalcoatl University and much smaller than UC Davis, D-Q University was a two-year institution located on Road 31 in Yolo County 6.7 miles (11 km) west of State Route 113. This is just west of Davis near the Yolo County Airport. About four miles (6 km) to the west, the Road 31 exit from Interstate 505 is marked with cryptic signage, "DQU." The site is about 100 feet (30 m) above mean sea level (AMSL). NAD83 coordinates for the campus are 38°34′02″N 121°53′12″W / 38.56722°N 121.88667°W
The college closed in 2005. The curriculum was said to include heritage and traditional American Indian ceremonies. The 643 acres (2.60 km2) and 5 buildings were formerly a military reservation according to a National Park Service publication, Five Views. The full name of the school is included here so that readers can accurately identify the topic. According to some tribal members, use of the spelled-out name of the university can be offensive. People who want to be culturally respectful refer to the institution as D-Q University. Tribal members in appropriate circumstances may use the full name.
Other colleges[edit]
An off-campus branch of Sacramento City College is located in Davis.
Public schools[edit]
Davis' public school system is administrated by the Davis Joint Unified School District.
The city has nine public elementary schools (North Davis, Birch Lane, Pioneer Elementary, Patwin, Cesar Chavez, Robert E. Willett, Marguerite Montgomery, Fred T. Korematsu at Mace Ranch, and Fairfield Elementary (which is outside the city limits but opened in 1866 and is Davis Joint Unified School District's oldest public school)). Davis has one school for independent study (Davis School for Independent Study), three public junior high schools (Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Frances Harper), one main high school (Davis Senior High School), one alternative high school (Martin Luther King High School), and a small technology-based high school (Leonardo da Vinci High School). Cesar Chavez is a Spanish immersion school, with no English integration until the third grade. The junior high schools contain grades 7 through 9. Due to a decline in the school-age population in Davis, two of the elementary schools in south Davis may have their district boundaries changed, or magnet programs may be moved to equalize enrollment. Valley Oak was closed after the 2007–08 school year, and their campus was granted to Da Vinci High (which had formerly been located in the back of Davis Senior High's campus) and a special-ed preschool.
At one time, Chavez and Willett were incorporated together to provide elementary education K–6 to both English-speaking and Spanish immersion students in West Davis. Cesar Chavez served grades K–3 and was called West Davis Elementary, and Robert E. Willett (named for a long-time teacher at the school, now deceased) served grades 4–6 and was known as West Davis Intermediate. Willett now serves K–6 English-speaking students, and Chavez supports the Spanish immersion program for K–6.

Reviews for Appetizer Tortilla Pinwheels(19)
Sort By :
make the filling in advance to season through, try fresh minced Jalapeo's if you like it spicey.
I made 10doz of these for our new years eve party, set them down on the table to go find the hostess. When I came back there were only a few left! My entire family gives this recipe 5 stars!
Wonderful appetizers. My one question is - why discard the ends. I would change that to sample the ends. Usually, if I am entertaining, the prep time is when I have the time to eat! I "sample" things like the ends.
This was amazing - I have made something like this but with the seasoned salt it really perks up the taste - great tip
I made these for a family get together and everyone raved about them and wanted the recipe. I substituted diced red sweet pepper for olives and salsa verde, drained, for green chilies since that is what I had on hand. Worked out great. I was able to use 6 tortillas. Will definitely make again.

A strong majority of Americans wants the two political parties to compromise to avoid the "fiscal cliff," and most back President Barack Obama's prescription for doing so, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
By 65 percent to 28 percent, respondents to the survey preferred that political leaders compromise to reach a deal—even if that means tax increases and cuts in Social Security and Medicare—rather than stick to their positions and allow across the board tax hikes and spending cuts on Jan. 1. The telephone survey of 1,000 adults, conducted Dec. 6-9, carries a margin for error of 3.1 percentage points.
(Read More: 'Cliff' Talks at Standstill: 'It's Getting Worse, Not Better'.)
But on the specific measures that might be part of a compromise, public opinion favors Obama's views. Fully 68 percent said Obama "has a mandate" from the November election to cut taxes on families earning less than $250,000 per year; 65 percent said he has a mandate for "increasing taxes on the wealthy and reducing federal spending."
Some 59 percent said Obama has a mandate to eliminate the Bush tax cuts on incomes above $250,000. And an overwhelming 76 percent said that higher tax rates on incomes that high would be an "acceptable" element of a compromise to avoid the fiscal cliff.
(Read More: It Could Get Hairy Before 'Cliff' Deal: Greenspan.)
In part, those assessments reflect the traditional afterglow that presidents enjoy after winning re-election when partisan attacks taper off. The poll shows Obama's job approval rating, which never stood higher than 50 percent earlier this year, now at 53 percent.
It also reflects the weak standing of the Republican Party and its leaders. Just 19 percent of Americans express a positive view of House Speaker John Boehner, while 29 percent express a negative view.
A month after Obama defeated him, Mitt Romney is rated positively by 35 percent, while 44 percent rate him negatively. His running mate, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, is rated positively by 30 percent and negatively by 34 percent.
(Read More: In Talks, House Majority Weighs Loyalty to Voters.)
The GOP itself suffers from long-term damage to its reputation. While Americans rate the Democratic Party positively by a 44 percent to 35 percent margin, Republicans fare much worse: 30 percent positive, 45 percent negative.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducts the NBC/WSJ survey with his Democratic counterpart Peter Hart, noted that Republicans have suffered a net negative rating in every NBC/WSJ survey for six years except for a single poll just after 2010 mid-term elections. Republicans enjoy a positive reputation with only two groups within the electorate: white Southerners, and residents of rural areas.

Shawn Marion: Thanks for the Dunk, Now Please Leave
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
I actually doubt anything that rude happened, but the point remains: After dunking the Miami Heat to victory over the Bulls last night, Shawn Marion (and Marcus Banks) have been traded to the Toronto Raptors for Jermaine O'Neal and Jamario Moon in what seems like a sideways move. Yes, O'Neal can still play the game, but he's not the post presence a team builder like Pat Riley wants. It almost seems like Marion and Banks weren't enough to entice Toronto to come off Chris Bosh, so the Heat settled for O'Neal, who again, is not as effective as he was in previous seasons.
The addition of Moon gives Miami some added depth, but the move still feels sideways only. This is not the kind of deal that puts either team over the top or moves them into the "contender" category.
The trade still needs to receive league approval before it's official.
