Tigers drop series as offense stymied vs. Twins
MINNEAPOLIS -- This was not a day for the Tigers' closer by committee. This time, the Tigers had the matchups they wanted on the other side and lost.
Instead, it was a day for the Twins to win mixing and matching their relievers.
Yes, the Twins scored more late runs Thursday, this time a five-run eighth inning off Brayan Villarreal. But all it did was turn a close game into an 8-2 Tigers loss in the rubber match of the three-game series at Target Field. In reality, the game turned an inning before that.
The Tigers were a hit away from getting that late lead to hand to their bullpen. They had the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position with Prince Fielder and Victor Martinez coming up. The Twins took the bat out of Miguel Cabrera's hands by walking him. And when Josh Roenicke and Casey Fien pitched Minnesota out of its seventh-inning jam, the Tigers had to have at least a brief flashback to the struggles with runners in scoring position that bothered them in the World Series.
It's a long way from that kind of pressure, even though they scored eight runs for the three-game series, half of them on Opening Day. If they don't get a few more opportunities like that before the pressure picks up, then they'll worry.
"I'll take my chances with that scenario every time," manager Jim Leyland said. "Second, third, nobody out with those guys coming up, I'll take my chances with that every time all year long. That's something I don't worry about."
Compared to Wednesday, when the two innings in which the Tigers scored runs were their only innings with runners in scoring position, they had better opportunities Thursday after two early unearned runs off Mike Pelfrey. None were as good as the seventh-inning opportunity.
Omar Infante's leadoff walk and Austin Jackson's ensuing double put runners at second and third with nobody out against right-hander Josh Roenicke, who quickly recovered to throw three fastballs past former Twin Torii Hunter.
Up came Cabrera, 2-for-2 with a double last year off Roenicke before striking out against him earlier this series. In this case, manager Ron Gardenhire elected to walk Cabrera and take his chances matching up lefty Tyler Robertson with Fielder.
Fielder hit .289 against left-handers last year, a big reason behind his career-best .313 season. He jumped on a second-pitch hanging slider for a tiebreaking three-run home run off Robertson last July at Comerica Park.
This time, Robertson pitched him in reverse.
"Joe [Mauer] told me he thought I could throw a couple fastballs as long as I threw them away," Robertson said. "He's a good fastball hitter, and I was able to throw him two pretty good ones, and I think it surprised him. It sped him up a little bit and I was able to get him out with my slider."
This time, Robertson buried it, and Fielder struggled to stop his bat. Replay showed that Fielder might have checked his swing in time, but the call was immediate.
"It looked like one of those really close ones," Leyland said. "I mean, you always think no when it's on your side and yes when it's on the other side. But he banged it right away. There's not much you can do about it."
It removed the game-tying sacrifice fly opportunity, but it didn't end the threat. Switch-hitting Victor Martinez stepped in, having already singled twice on the day for his first two hits of the series. Gardenhire went with former Tiger Casey Fien, who got ahead of him with changeups on the outside corner before jamming him with a high fastball.
Martinez slammed his bat as the pop fly fluttered to second base.
"He was down, away, and then he went up out of the strike zone up a little bit, and that's what happens sometimes," Leyland said. "You get it up far enough and sometimes the guy will pop it up. If you don't get it up far enough, sometimes the guy hits it out of the park. Today he got it up high enough."
Detroit went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position Thursday, stranding 10 runners. Both of its runs came in part from Twins errors behind Pelfrey.
Jackson singled, stole second, took third on Mauer's errant throw into the outfield and scored on a Hunter groundout in the opening inning. Two innings later, Pedro Florimon's wild throw landed Hunter on second with one out for Cabrera, who lined his third RBI single of the series into left field for a 2-0 lead.
Two home runs off Rick Porcello erased it. Both times, Porcello fell behind batters as he struggled with the curveball that had been his biggest improvement in Spring Trianing.
"With most of our guys, they've had a little trouble being able to get a good feel, especially the offspeed," catcher Alex Avila said. "Rick did struggle with that, especially with his curveball. His curveball's a very good pitch, and that's one of the reasons why he had a really good Spring Training and why I think he'll have a good year."
Josh Willingham's two-run homer in the bottom of the inning tied it. Trevor Plouffe's fourth-inning solo homer turned out to be the deciding tally.
"That's what good hitters do when you fall behind and you miss with fastballs over the plate," Porcello said. "That was just a product of two poorly pitched at-bats on my part."
The eighth-inning rally left the Twins with 10 runs in 10 innings against the Tigers bullpen for the series. That said, the Tigers scored eight runs in 27 innings for the series, only one of them off the relief corps.
Leyland will take his chances with those matchups. They didn't work out Thursday.

Work continues on NH-ME Memorial Bridge, first section to be floated upriver in January
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) � The construction company rebuilding the Memorial Bridge between New Hampshire and Maine says crews are working double shifts to get the project done.
Archer Western has been working on the approaches for the bridge on both sides as well as installing micropiles on three piers.
Officials say the first section of the bridge will be floated upriver by barge sometime in January. The barge will then return to the New Hampshire State Pier, where construction of the north fixed span portion of the bridge will begin.

Facilities Master Plan 2013-2023
Looking at Tomorrow's SUNY Plattsburgh
After 18 months of gathering input, seeking expert advice and gathering still more input, the college has created a vision of SUNY Plattsburgh of the future.
The Facilities Master Plan is a roadmap – a well-thought-out sketch of what members of the campus community would like the campus to become over the next 10 years. It is just a sketch, however. Each step along the way will need to be weighed to ensure that it is the best for the campus and its students.
The funding, if available, will come from the State University of New York Construction Fund. It is money the state has bonded and set aside specifically for construction purposes. By law, such funds can only be used for capital projects and cannot be used by the college for general operating purposes, such as running academic programs. If SUNY Plattsburgh refused these funds, they would be reallocated to another SUNY campus.
- Download SUNY Plattsburgh's Facilities Master Plan - Final Recommendations (PDF file size ). Note: this document requires the latest version of Acrobat Reader, which is available as a free download.
Highlights of the Plan
A Centralized Academic Core – The plan would move departments closer together, creating an academic core and eliminating the 20-minute walk that some students now need to take between classes. Humanities would move to a refurbished Redcay Hall. Meanwhile, Champlain Valley Hall would become home to a language and foreign study center.
Organized Clinical Space – Sibley Hall would provide easy access to clinical and conference space for members of the surrounding community. It would house the University Police; Center for Student Health and Psychological Services; clinical offerings for speech and hearing; Alzheimer's; traumatic brain injury; neuropsychology, autism; and more. It would also remain home to the hotel, restaurant and tourism management program and Samuel D's restaurant, as well as Third Age Adult Day Care Center and Child Care Center.
New Academic Building – The college's computer science program and School of Business and Economics will move into a new home on the corner of Draper and Cornelia streets. Construction is expected to begin this year and to be completed in November 2012.
New Public Open Space – A new, green, public space would provide a recreational corridor from Amitié Plaza to the Saranac River and improve pedestrian safety throughout campus.
Improved Athletic Facilities – Memorial Hall would be renovated to include expanded fitness facilities and create new classroom space for fitness education. Construction of new offices for coaches would consolidate all intercollegiate athletic programs at the Field House.
New Black Box Theater Space – A new black box theater would be constructed on the Amitié Plaza side of the Myers Fine Arts Building.
New Learning and Study Commons – An improved study space in Hawkins Hall would feature expanded food service and a terrace overlooking Hawkins Pond while new learning commons in Feinberg Library and Angell College Center would create additional collaborative learning opportunities for students.
Parking – The college's service buildings (with the exception of the Central Heating Plant) would be relocated to a site behind Sibley Hall to allow for additional student parking close to the center of campus.
New Homes for Music, the Museum and Special Collections – Yokum would offer refurbished space for communication and journalism. Rooms would also be renovated to house the music program, and an addition would house the Plattsburgh State Art Museum and Special Collections.

Augustin, Noah Lead Bulls Over Wolves, 102-87
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — D.J. Augustin scored 21 points and Joakim Noah posted his league-leading fourth triple-double of the season, leading the Chicago Bulls to a 102-87 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
Noah had 15 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists to move into a tie with Indiana's Lance Stephenson for the most triple-doubles in the NBA this season. Kirk Hinrich scored 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting and the Bulls hit 11 of 21 3-pointers to stay right on Toronto's heels for the third seed in the Eastern Conference.
Kevin Love had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves. But he only made 7 of 20 shots and missed six of his eight 3-point attempts. Ricky Rubio added 15 points and six assists, but the Wolves were just 4 for 17 from long distance.

When you're always looking for the greatest new app, sometimes you forget about the awesome apps that power your life. The apps you use day in, day out to make money, stay in touch with family and friends, be creative, stay informed, and more are the most important apps, way more important that that new app that might come out tomorrow and just might revolutionize your life … or not.
Funny thing is, apps that you use all the time can fade into the background, and you'll almost never think about them. It's easy to take for granted the apps we use most. From your web browser to tools like Dropbox and Alfred or the launcher of your choice, there are apps you use every day without thinking about it, but you'd be hard pressed to live without them.
Today's Thanksgiving in America, which makes a great time to stop and think of the things you're grateful for, no matter where you call home. Our team has rounded up some of the apps we're thankful for this year, and we'd love to hear from you. What Mac apps are you the most thankful to have around this year?

'Start of a new chapter' for Hamilton
- Drivers:
- Lewis Hamilton
- Teams:
- Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton has described the launch of the Mercedes W04 as "the start of a new chapter" in his career.
Hamilton and team-mate Nico Rosberg unveiled the new car on the start/finish straight at Jerez after Rosberg had been driving the car for the morning during a filming day. Hamilton - who will drive the car for the afternoon - said he was honoured to be a Mercedes driver and admitted he had been motivated by the new challenge.
"It's a very special day for me to officially present our Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow to the world," Hamilton said. "There is no company with a longer history in Grand Prix racing than Mercedes-Benz and it is an honour for me to tread in the footsteps of legends like Juan Manuel Fangio, Sir Stirling Moss and Michael Schumacher. It's the start of a new chapter for me, a new adventure, and when I walked through the doors in Brackley, I was so excited to get down to work."
Hamilton also said that he had been impressed by the desire shown by Mercedes as it developed the new car over the winter.
"I've been at the factory for a few days now, getting to know the guys, meeting my mechanics and engineers, learning myself into the team and I have never seen a group of people that is hungrier for success than this one. They have been flat out this winter trying to pack more performance into the new car and I can't wait to drive it and see where I can make a difference to help push the team forward with Nico.
"This is a new start for me with the team in Brackley but I have worked with Mercedes-Benz for a very long time now, and I learned one thing most of all: Mercedes-Benz doesn't know how to lose. We are playing a long game here but I know we will have success together and I'm excited to be a big part of making it happen."

China's ramped up criticism of Europe's embrace of the Dalai Lama hasn't effectively blunted popular support here for the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader. And European politicians are still giving him a platform.
During a visit to Europe that ended in Paris Monday, the Tibetan offered a new and more urgent plea for help as well as a break with decades of a "turn the other cheek" policy. The change comes amid a Chinese crackdown in Tibet that began last year over broad dissatisfaction among Tibetans with Chinese policy, and an uprising among monks. [Editor's note: The original version misstated the timing of the visit.]
The Dalai Lama may not be welcome in Tibet's capital of Lhasa. But several European cities have made him an honorary citizen. Rome and Venice gave him the title in February. He is expected to be given the keys to the City of Warsaw in July. On Sunday, he became an honorary citizen of Paris.
But Tibetan advocacy groups are quietly dismayed over a lack of a unified and consistent European policy. In 2007, the Dalai Lama in polls was ranked as the most respected world leader in Europe. He has since fallen to third place – being bumped from the top spot by Barack Obama. (German Chancellor Angela Merkel is No. 2.)
Despite the warm welcomes in Europe, an intense campaign by China to isolate and vilify the Dalai Lama has seemingly spooked many European politicians.
Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen met the Dalai Lama in Copenhagen, despite an official call in Beijing for Denmark to "take concrete actions to correct its wrongdoing on Tibet-related issues."
But a meeting with Dutch leader Jan Peter Balkenende was cancelled at the last minute; the Dalai Lama instead met the Dutch foreign minister at a church in The Hague. Mr. Balkenende cited an "irresponsible risk."
In her recent trip to Beijing, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was told by China's top legislator, Wu Bangguo, that Taiwan and Tibet were the two most sensitive issues in US-China relations.
As the Dalai Lama readies for a 74th birthday celebration in July, he faces a growing list of challenges.
Tibet has been under a martial crackdown by China for the past year and young Tibetans are increasingly impatient with his nonviolent message of patience.
Beijing authorities are suggesting they will choose and validate the next Dalai Lama. Longtime observers of the Dalai Lama see him beginning to openly challenge a Chinese leadership that has not, in his view, acted in good faith.
'They are awaiting my death'
During his recent Europe tour, the spiritual leader gave talks on "Compassion in Turbulent Times" to large gatherings. Speaking to the press, however, he bluntly decried conditions in Tibet as a "hell on earth," and spoke of official Chinese "cruelty." He repeated a statement he made in Rome in February that now is the "darkest period in Tibetan history."
University of Hong Kong legal professor Michael Davis, who has followed the Tibet issue closely, says the sharper tone is born out of frustration.
"Neither Tibet, the Dalai Lama, or the exiled Tibetans have gotten anything in all their efforts to quietly negotiate," Professor Davis says. "The Dalai Lama's years trying to create a more conducive atmosphere has failed, and there's an accounting of that."
In Paris on Sunday, in front of 4,500 people, the Dalai Lama appeared jocular and relaxed. He offered a message on how individuals can learn to be as unconditionally compassionate toward each other as a mother is toward her children.
He highlighted the concept of "secular ethics" – that being and doing good has a universal quality that is achievable not only through formal religion.
At the end, he said, "The 20th and 21st centuries are the most important in world history. We have a responsibility to develop compassion more universally. A lot depends on individuals."
Yet, with reporters asking about Tibet and China, he offered that: "'I am getting old, and the Chinese are especially preoccupied with that! They are awaiting my death.... I have little hope of reaching a negotiated solution with the Chinese government. My trust in that government is very thin, because the whole communist political system is based on lies and hypocrisy. The local authorities lie to the regional leaders, who lie to Beijing, who then broadcasts those lies to the rest of the world!"
Pico Iyer, author of "The Open Road: The Global Journey of the 14th Dalai Lama," noted in a recent New York Review of Books article that "in the 34 years I've been regularly talking and listening to him, I've grown used to seeing the [Dalai Lama] begin each day by praying for his 'Chinese brothers and sisters,' and constantly asking his fellow Tibetans to 'reach out to the Chinese people and make better relations,'" but that "for the first time … he could no longer contain his impatience and disappointment with Beijing."
Rare support from inside China
During the Dalai Lama's European trip, the Open Constitutional Initiative, a group of independent Chinese legal scholars, issued an unusual dissenting report on Beijing's insistence that the Dalai Lama is responsible for last spring's violent uprisings in Tibet.
The group, in a fact-finding mission to Lhasa and Gansu, found that it was China's restrictive policies and the marginalization of Tibetans in their own land, not the Dalai Lama, that brought the uprising in spring 2008.
"Even though research was carried out in the field for only a month, we deeply sensed the popular discontent and anger behind the incidents, and the complexity of their social roots," the scholars' report stated, adding later that a violent protest in Lhasa on March 14, 2008, "was reaction made under stress by a society and people to the various changes that have been taking place in their lives over the past few decades."
Kate Saunders, of the London-based International Campaign for Tibet, says the report "Is the first time an independent group in China has openly disagreed with the position of the state … and state propaganda. It is very courageous." [Editor's note: The original version misstated the name of the group.]
60 years of exile
The Dalai Lama escaped from Tibet in 1959 as it became clear that Mao Zedong's China would take complete control of the region, and perhaps abduct him. He has lived since in the Tibetan exile community of Dharamsala, India, where he has begun work on creating structures of democracy and even a secular system of rule among Tibetans. He has also intensified his outreach to the Chinese people.
In the past 15 years, Tibet has been flooded with Han Chinese. Fears are mounting that the Chinese are overrunning the Himalayan kingdom, assimilating Tibetan culture, and denying a free practice of Tibetan religion.
Olympics spat
Current dynamics have brought a kind of Alice in Wonderland quality to the Dalai Lama's attempts to travel.
He continues to assert, as he has since the late 1980s, that he does not advocate Tibetan independence, but wants negotiations on autonomy – in keeping with China's constitution ensuring minority rights.
Beijing continues to claim that the Dalai Lama wants independence. Hence, under China's definition, any world leader or state that meets or hosts him is complicit in what China terms the Dalai Lama's "splittist" activities.
The situation led Paris's Mayor Bertrand Delanoe to state with some exasperation that, "I have never been in favor of Tibet's independence. I am not a Buddhist. I take positions related to Paris's values and my deep convictions. I do not pretend to rule over the world."
The Paris leg may have been the most sensitive of the European trip. Franco-Chinese relations suffered after protests in Paris over the Olympic torch run last year, and after President Nicolas Sarkozy, as president of the European Union, met the Dalai Lama in Poland.
The Paris protests, broadcast around the world, were an embarrassment ahead of China's Summer Olympic Games coming-out party, and forced Beijing to offer "talks" with the Dalai Lama's exile community in India. Those talks never seriously materialized once the Olympics ended.
Before the Olympics, China asked the exile community to set out its talking points. Dharamsala responded in the fall with a "Memorandum on Genuine Autonomy for the Tibetan People."
China immediately derided the memo, and said any talks would focus on limiting the Dalai Lama's "splittist" activities. At a key meeting in Dharamsala, and with pressure on the Dalai Lama to appease younger Tibetans impatient with 50 years of stalemate, the exiles nonetheless resolved to continue with the nonviolent "third way" to resolve the dispute.
China, meanwhile, resumed its earlier campaign to isolate and demonize the leader, who it has termed a "wolf in monk's clothing."
"Beijing trashed the Tibetan memorandum and used it as the basis for the campaign against the Dalai Lama," says Davis, the legal scholar from Hong Kong. "That flies in the face of a growing view that China is better off negotiating with the Dalai Lama right now. He's the one who can make a reasonable deal. After him, I don't know."

Easy walk with stunning views of the GG bridge and the entrance to SF Bay. I've been visiting SF all my life; why I never heard about this walk until a child told me of it is a total mystery.
This is for commuters, not appropriate for a family ride.
I parked at the south end on roadside. Nice short walk if you're looking for a hilly route. Lots of cattails on southern stretch.
We walked the section between shafter bridge and Samuel P Tayler campground. There was plenty of parking when we pulled in around 10am but there were several cars waiting when we got back around noon. The trail to the campground is gravel and flat. Nice simple path for easy biking. I wouldn't do it with a road bike but a city bike or something with larger tires would be fine. Walking was also nice. The other nice feature are the restrooms near the campground.
So obviously I'm not from around here. A transplant from DC where the traffic is much worse and so is every driver (skill/courtesy) in the Capital Region.
I did several laps starting at the North Trailhead Sawyer Camp Trail (vicinity E. Hillcrest Blvd) down to the Intersection of Skyline Blvd & 35/92 and back. Most everyone was courteous and aware, which is a plus and something alien for me (DC trails are notorious for self-absorbed, totally unaware, and rather rude walker, joggers, cyclists, et al (EXCEPT Indianhead Trail in MD - an AWESOME rail-to-trail to clock in 26 mile laps if you're preparing for long-distance rides).
That said, the volume of folks on the trail, combined with the twisty-turny route (fun but not if you're supposed to be down in the aerobars) is probably not the best place to put miles on the saddle if you're training for distance cycling (sic Ironman) on a TT/triathlon bike... but road bike, mountain, or cyclo-cross sport bike would be preferred.
The trail surface varies from smooth paved, to a slightly ribbed potions that aren't that bad. Uh, at least 6 bathrooms (clean with good locks). I didn't see (wasn't really looking for) any water stations. It's somewhat hilly but not a lung-buster. Lot's of free speed (downhills) and even the false flats any momentum can be maintained.
The scenery is great and whatever flowers were blooming were a good offset to my odor-de-triathlete. Lots of tree canopy cover and a nice breeze to keep cool. One rather large deer crossed my path... good thing to keep at least one hand on the brakes.
All in all, a great place to road/mountain bike = five stars (three stars if you're riding a Tri-bike =)
I literally grew up on this trail, back when it was unpaved, and was just some weird, seldom-used backwater ie., prior to the early 1980s or thereabouts, at which point it started getting much more developed & popular. I have seen (quite large!) blue herons on (or adjacent) to this trail many times, and in 1995, I once saw a bobcat (at night, between Vasona dam and Lark Avenue). There are many turtles, and about 40 years ago, I once saw a Northern Pike (just behind Vasona dam). I've witnessed scores of salmon spawning at the Camden Avenue dam.
Gorgeous day in Half Moon Bay - what a terrific opportunity to explore this trail! It appears that many enjoy its wonders as well...pretty remarkable, considering this is the middle of the week! There were walkers, bikers, and dogs on the path - everyone was very respectful of passing each other and sharing the width of the path.
Nice to have the ocean 'on your shoulder' as you move up and down the path, as well as seeing all the wildlife - hawks, herons, rabbits to name a few!
A challenging walk up the hills, but beautiful views! Worth the time!
We regularly ride the section of the trail between Oak Knoll Ave and Yountville. It's an easy, flat ride, about 7 miles one way. The views of the vineyards and hills are stunning along this entire section. There are rest spots along the way, and there's a free bike tool kit and air pump at the end of the path (or beginning depending on your direction of travel) in Yountville. Though the trail is next to highway 29, it is protected, and is separated from the highway with a good amount of trees and plantings in many sections. Train tracks are also between the trail and the highway, and the Napa Wine Train passes by regularly during peak season. It's a fun, family-friendly mixed-use path.
It is awesome my sister and I play there all the time!! Great surrounded park area!!
Started at the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond and traveled south (clockwise) along the bay to the Central Ave intersection and return. A good portion of the trail is wide and plenty of room for walkers and bikers. The last couple miles we rode is a bit narrower, still enough room for both. Trail condition is great. A number of interpretative signs are placed, discussing the history and nature of this area. Well worth the visit. Take time to see the Rosie Visitor Center. Luck was with us when we visited and were able to attend a talk by the National Park Service's oldest park ranger (97 yrs old). Betty Reid Soskin is an articulate speaker and recounted her time living in the area and working in the ship yards during WWII. If given the opportunity don't miss out. Noted that the trail in this area had great signage and shouldn't have any trouble following the route. Some of the trail going north (counterclockwise) was on the street with designated bike lanes. Looking forward to doing other sections of this trail when we visit again in the future.
Thursday, January 3, 2019
My wife and I started this ride at the northern most entrance at the corner of San Bruno Avenue West and Skyline Blvd. We parked at a dirt church parking lot across from the trail head that a sign said was open to the public. TrailLinks indicates there is parking at the San Andrea Trail parking lot about a ½ mile down the trail along Skyline Blvd. It not really a parking lot but more of a wide spot on the road. I actually didn't recognize it on the first pass as there was only one car parked there.
Heading south from the trail head (you begin on the two lane paved San Andreas Trail) you begin a rolling incline as you ride along next to Skyline Road. After about 3 miles you will top out as you head toward the San Andreas Lake and begin a long 400 foot drop over the next mile or two to the San Andreas Dam. Pedaling is optional and by this time you have passed at least one bathroom…expect to see more.
By the time you reach the dam, you will be on the Sawyer Camp Recreational Trail. The view from the dam was spectacular, particularly as it is quite green this time of year. There are plenty of tree covered sections to make you really feel you are outdoors. A pretty nice feeling for being in the "city". There are also several historic sites marked along the trail.
After crossing the dam your drop further down into the creek. The trees provide quite a bit of shading which would be good in the summer months but got quite chilly for our ride. There are picnic tables and of course, another bathroom.
You will eventually end up along the shore of the Lower Crystal Springs Reservoir. Again, spectacular views and a ton of friendly deer. We also began to encounter more and more hikers as this section is easily accessible from the entrance at the Sawyer Camp trail head next to the Crystal Springs Road and is pretty flat all the way to the bottom of the San Andreas Dam. Not too much of a problem for our week day winter ride, but I expect this would get very crowded on weekends and summer.
We made our turnaround at the Sawyer Camp Trailhead (10 miles from our start) but not before making a side trip about a mile and a half north UP Hwy 35 to the Crystal Springs Golf course for lunch. The menu was typical bar food. The cheeseburger was huge and tasty. I would suggest splitting one as it came with a very large order of fries (my wife got onion rings). It was a small restaurant/bar overlooking the driving range.
My wife and I have Specialized Como electric bikes so the pedal assisted ride back up the trail was not difficult. But the incline was not that steep and was steady over a couple miles. Good gearing and little patience should not dampen your ride.
Total round trip (including the 1-1/2 mile one way side trip for lunch) was 22 miles.
This was our first ride of 2019 on a route we had never been before and we have lived in the Bay Area for 30 years. A hearty thanks to TrailLink for highlighting this on their web page!

SEOM is "nerve center" for Human Resources
Carmelita Boyer, administrative assistant, is the nerve center for the complex and varied needs of the Human Resources Department, according to Deborah Heater. "If you are not sure who can provide a particular HR need, Carmelita can help you!" she says.
"Carmelita serves on, or provides support for many committees, including union contract negotiations, promotion and tenure, Years of Service recognition, the retiree luncheon, the voluntary cash separation incentive, CQI awards, Distinguished Full Professor awards, Staff Employee of the Month, Staff Advisory Council and Shared Governance," Heater says.
"During my six-month tenure as Interim VP of HR, Carmelita was an invaluable and supportive partner as I navigated the new environment. On many occasions, I used her as a research intern as I endeavored to understand particular issues," says Kimberly Hall, chief of staff.
Nominated by Susan Thomas, Boyer was awarded the Staff Employee of the Month award for October at the recent First Wednesday meeting. Says Thomas: "Carmelita is the go-to person for all SAC's community service projects such as Children's Hunger Alliance, Firefighters for Kids, Mid-Ohio Food Bank—as well as a Human Resources guru!
"She also oversees a new award—the Part-time Employee of the Month—which requires her to coordinate a time and space for the award since not every part-time employee works the same schedule."

Reminder: Service learning designations due Nov. 1
Do you incorporate service-learning in your teaching? If so, you may apply for an "S-designation" for your Autumn Semester 2014 classes.

New, beginning Autumn Semester 2014, Columbus State sections of existing courses that meet the criteria for service learning may be offered in the course listing with an "S" suffix.

Elton John
Name at birth: Reginald Kenneth Dwight
A prolific songwriter and a flamboyant performer, Elton John had 30 different hits on the top 40 charts between 1970 and 1982. His super-theatrical stage appearances, with John changing into a succession of elaborate costumes and outlandish spectacles, helped make him a pop megastar. His hit tunes include "Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road," "Your Song," "Bennie and the Jets," and "Rocket Man." All were written with his longtime lyricist, Bernie Taupin. Although John lost a bit of his shine during the '80s, he re-emerged as a force in the 1990s, touring and recording and cementing his spot among the pop music aristocracy. Elton John performed his song "Candle in the Wind" at the funeral of Princess Diana in 1997, and the song went on to become an international best-seller. John (like Paul McCartney) was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1997. In the 21st century he has continued to perform widely, doing a long series of tours with fellow 1970s pop star Billy Joel and taking up a semi-permanent residency at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. He founded the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
Elton John joined in a civil partnership with his longtime companion, filmmaker David Furnish, on 21 December 2005, shortly after such partnerships became legal in England. They then married on 21 December 2014. They have two sons: Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John was born to a surrogate mother on 25 December 2010, and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John,was born to the same surrogate mother on 11 January 2013. The mother has not been identified, but John's representatives said the baby was born in California… According to a 2004 BBC profile, Elton John "has the rare accolade of charting a Top 40 single every year from 1970 to 1996″… "Candle in the Wind" originally was written about actress Marilyn Monroe… Elton John earned a reported fee of one million dollars to perform at Rush Limbaugh's wedding to Kathryn Rogers on 5 June 2010; it was Limbaugh's fourth marriage… Elton John caused a mild flap in the year 2000 when he performed a duet at the Grammy awards with controversial rapper Eminem.

This story began in late fall of 1997. It grew from a small idea until it reached around the world. It does not yet have an ending…
In a San Juan Record article published January 21, 1998, the question was asked, "Who can know the outcome of these acts?" Now, exactly 15 years later, an amazing answer can be given to that question.
The article, entitled "1,000 quilts for North Korea", told the story of Covers for Kids, a project organized by Linda Lewis. She was inspired by her sister-in-law, who had spearheaded a quilt-making project in Snowflake, AZ for victims of the Croatian War.
Linda was confident the people in Monticello would be receptive to a similar project. She contacted Garry Flake, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Humanitarian Aid Division, to ask about need.
He told her of a devastating drought in North Korea that had led to widespread starvation. The lack of proper nutrition was compounded by the extreme cold. Millions of people were dying. The children, he said, were especially in need of warm coverings.
What started as a Monticello community undertaking with a goal of 500 quilts quickly spread across two states, eventually producing 1,100 quilts, 138 receiving blankets, 740 hats, 127 pairs of pajamas, 140 pairs of gloves, 75 pairs of booties, 120 coats, and boxes full of winter clothing.
At the end of the two-month project, a meeting was held in the Monticello Stake Center and Linda told the congregation of contributors, "I knew you were good; I didn't know you were this good!"
Many of the quilts had teddy bears or other small stuffed animals wrapped up in them. Lawana Palmer, of Blanding, made a quilt with a road design on its top. She added a zippered pocket, filling it with toy cars and a state road map with Blanding circled, adding her name and address.
Lawana never received a response to her effort of communicating with the quilt's recipient, but Diane Balch, also of Blanding, did. And that is what this story is about.
Diane had organized and managed Blanding's contribution to the project, overseeing the production of 100+ quilts. She tagged the quilts with a note, written in both English and Korean, which read, "This quilt is made for you with our love", adding her name and address.
Just over a year later, Diane received a letter of thanks from a 14-year-old boy, but he wasn't from North Korea. Jonathan Amankwah's family lived in Nkawkaw, Ghana, and at that time he was attending a boarding school three hours away from home.
The nights were getting colder so he had written his mother, asking her to please send him an extra blanket. She went to the local second hand shop and bought him a quilt.
When Jonathan received the quilt he found Diane Balch's name and address pinned on the corner. How a quilt bound for Korea ended up in Africa is a mystery that may never be explained, but the intent of the quilt—to warm a child—was fulfilled, and that's what really matters. As well as expressing thanks, Jonathan asked Diane why she had made the quilt. Diane answered him, and thus began a correspondence and friendship that has lasted to this day.
Jonathan expressed an interest in the church whose humanitarian efforts (at that point) had helped people in 137 countries. Diane answered his questions as best she could, occasionally sending him articles from church publications concerning Ghana. She also sent him a copy of scriptures, with her testimony written inside the front cover.
Knowing how destitute Jonathan's family must be, Diane and her husband, Calvin, began sending care packages or occasionally wiring money. One time they sent eight jogging suits, one for each member of Jonathan's family, placing a five dollar bill in the pocket of each suit. Later, they learned that $40 paid for one semester of school for Jonathan.
In 2004, Diane and Calvin answered a call to serve in the Canada Vancouver LDS Mission as an office couple. As part of Diane's duties, she transferred referrals to other missions. It dawned on her that she could send a referral to the Ghana Accra Mission for Jonathan and his family, giving a local landmark as there were no telephones or addresses in their region. Though the family lived outside the mission boundaries, special arrangements were made to contact them.
Several months later, Diane received a letter from Jonathan, which included a picture of his family and a dozen other people, including two American missionaries. The letter read, "Through your efforts, the missionaries have found their way here at last. They arrived on the 22 of August and came back the next day. We had supper together with my family and later on in my house a lot of people from the neighborhood joined us to listen to them teach about the church."
It was easy for the missionaries to recognize which were members of Jonathan's family: they were all wearing San Juan Bronco baseball caps Calvin and Diane had sent them. The Amankwah family had already read the copy of the scriptures Diane sent Jonathan, before the missionaries found them, and they all wanted to be baptized. In October all eight of the family, plus five others, were baptized in a river by their home.
A year later, a church congregation was created in Nkawkaw, with 85 members and 35 investigators. Jonathan's father was made the first counselor; he was made the branch president several years later. On July 28, 2007, Jonathan received a mission call to the Nigeria Enugu Mission. To date, seven young men from that branch have served missions of their own, including Jonathan and his two younger brothers. The congregation continues to grow.
Jonathan is currently attending the university in Tarkwa, receiving aid from the Perpetual Education Fund of the LDS Church, as well as support from the Balch family. He is on track to graduate in 2014.
When the meeting was held in the Monticello Stake Center 15 years ago, Garry Flake told the congregation, "The little quilt that someone has tied here in Monticello will become an heirloom for generations to come for someone in North Korea."
That may well be true—and perhaps someday a story to that effect will surface—but for now, the legacy of the one quilt that found its way to Ghana demonstrates how incredibly powerful the gift of love can be.

Intel Details Haswell Changes; Plans 10-Watt Version, New Brand Name
"There will be more innovation in the next 12 to 18 months in the PC industry than we've seen in the past decade," said Kirk Skaugen, Intel's vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group, at the Intel Developer Forum on Tuesday. He explained more about the new fourth-generation Core (Haswell) processors and said the company will be introducing a new brand in between Core and Atom to account for 10-watt Haswell systems, aimed at "Ultrabook Convertibles," a new term for hybrid tablet/PCs. In addition, he touted Ultrabooks with touch features and "adaptive all-in-one" machines—desktops that can lie flat and run on batteries.
Following up on the keynote earlier in the day, Skaugen gave more details on Haswell and many of Intel's other initiatives.
Perhaps the biggest news involving Haswell is that Intel is considering a new brand name for a version of the Haswell chip that uses just 10 watts. This will fit in between the company's Atom line (aimed at 2 watts) and the next generation of the Core line aimed at most Ultrabooks, which will use 15 watts (down from the 17 watts used in those processors in Ivy Bridge).
In between, Intel will be able to use the Core design in a 10 watt version. He said this is possible because 22nm production is having the "best ramp in Intel's history," as well as improvements in the microarchitecture. Later, he said "Core" will be a contender for the brand, but Intel is considering other names as it views the Ultrabook Convertible market as a game-changer.
Moving to 10 watts will enable a 41 percent reduction in processor power, which should deliver almost double the battery life, Skaugen said, allowing "always on, always connected" computing. Customers will be able to leave the power brick at home each morning. With the fourth-generation Core processors, Intel will be almost doubling the battery life of notebooks compared with current third-generation (Ivy Bridge).
Another big change is that the 10- and 15-watt Haswell processors will be available in multi-chip packages; a single chip, including two dies (one for a dual or quad-core processor CPU with graphics); and a PCH, the processor controller hub chipset. As expected, the company will also make higher wattage versions of Haswell, including 35- and 45-watt versions aimed at standard notebooks and even more powerful versions aimed at desktops. Those will be sold in the more traditional two-chip version, with more connectivity options, such as Thunderbolt support.
Haswell will offer up to twice the graphics performance with support for 4K displays; a "collage display" using three physical monitors side by side as a single virtual monitor; and new software standards, including Direct X11.1, OpenGL 4.0 and OpenCL 1.2. For the first time, it will offer not only two levels of processor performance, but also multiple levels of graphics with different numbers of execution units in different versions of the chip.
In addition, Haswell will support "always fresh data" in two ways: Intel's Smart Connect features automatically wake up the machine on a set schedule to pull down email and social media updates and Microsoft's Connected Standby on Windows 8, which enables machines to stay on in a very low power mode rather than go to sleep.
Skaugen said the first fourth-generation Core processors will be out in the first half of 2013, but he didn't disclose which versions of the processor (for which form factors) would be out first.
He held up "Harris Beach," the company's next generation software development platform, saying software developers will be getting test units with a 15-watt Haswell processor in a 17mm Ultrabook.
In 2013, the company hopes to reinvent the notebook. Skaugen started by pushing the concept of touch in laptops. He said the mouse and keyboard have been the primary ways of interacting with computers since the 1980s, but with Windows 8, touch is more important. In an Intel study using Ultrabooks with touch capabilities, users chose to employ touch 80 percent of the time. Skaugen showed visuals of individuals from focus groups preferring the touch features in Windows 8 while still having access to a keyboard. Intel has invested in TPK, Wintek, Hannstouch, and Cando to create more capacity for 13- to 15-inch notebooks for 2013.
On Ultrabooks, he said Intel has more than 140 design wins for third-generation Core, with 70 already in the market. Forty touch-based ones are on the way, with touch generally adding about $100 to the price.
As an example of a really lightweight system, Skaugen showed off an NEC LaVie system based on a third-generation Core i7 processor that weighs just 868 grams.
But he really focused on the "Ultrabook Convertible" with multiple different designs, with detachable keyboards, as well as spins, swivels, and flips.
He showed many of the same hybrids we've seen before, including the Dell XPS Duo, the Lenovo Yoga, the Asus Taichi with dual screens, and a Toshiba Satellite U 9204 with a sliding keyboard and NFC tap features built in plus Intel Identity Protection Technology. Again, he shared research of customers trying tablets, clamshell notebooks, and convertible machines. Forty-four percent of those customers said they preferred the convertible and 31 percent picked a clamshell with touch. Just 22 percent picked a tablet and three percent chose a laptop without touch. I'm a bit skeptical that sales will match that, but it was interesting.
On the desktop, Skaugen said there are currently more than 65 all-in-one designs for third-generation Core, with this category growing more than 30 percent a year (in contrast with the overall desktop market, which is only growing by a percent or two).
He talked about an "easel" design, as well as "adaptive all-in-one" where you can remove the screen from the housing or move the device itself, while the computer remains on (with batteries).
He demoed a Sony Vaio Tap 20, showing how it could be used in a family painting application. It can lie flat, and he picked it up, as you would do to move it to another room in the house and run it on battery power.
Intel invests during a downturn and is continuing to do so. One change is that the company is focusing first on user experience, then on systems and software, and then on the silicon rather than the reverse, he said.
He talked about the need to get rid of wires, and how that has led to wireless charging. Intel is working with BYD, IDT, Compal, and others to bring that feature to fourth-generation Core processors. The idea is that you could put your smartphone or other device next to an Ultrabook or all-in-one and it would charge wirelessly at the same speed as using a USB cable, nixing the need to carry a charging pad as with many other wireless charging solutions.
Skaugen also expanded on many of the "perceptual computing" demos that Dadi Perlmutter showed at the day's keynote. On Nuance Dragon Assistant, he said the Dell XPS 13 is the first product certified for it and that Intel will be certifying the machines and distributing it to other system makers. He also talked about Intel's free Perceptual Computing SDK, which is free for evaluation, focusing on close-range depth tracking, facial analysis, 2D/3D augmented reality, and speech recognition. Specifically, he talked about using face recognition to log people into machines more easily and more accurately than before, using augmented reality to try on sunglasses, and using voice command and control.
For gesture recognition, he showed Creative's upcoming 720p 3D camera, which is USB-powered. Demonstrations included using hand gestures to control a solar system demo and to cast spells in a game.
On other topics, he said Intel's Antitheft technology, which lets you turn off a machine remotely and track down where you left it, is now supported in 27 languages and not just from Intel and McAfee but from Norton and many other vendors. The company's Identity Protection Technology is now being used in more places including China's Renren social media site.

Summit Up 4-5-13: Good deeds
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is giving a big shout out to all those who take the time to help the less fortunate. This week we received an email from Breckenridge resident Terese Keil describing the work being done on the U.S.-Mexican boarder. Keil had this to say:
"As you may be able to read on the T-shirt of my friend, Michael Hyatt, he is a longtime volunteer for Humane Borders, an organization based in Tucson which helps undocumented migrants crossing over from Mexico into the blazing Sonoran Desert of Arizona. Approximately 200 of these migrants die every year in the desert from lack of water and food, but primarily water. Lately more and more of these migrants have been women and children. Humane Borders is not involved in the politics of why, how, and how many of these people from countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, etc., are desperate to come here. It is only concerned with the fact that they are dying and how to try to stop the deaths. There are other organizations in Arizona that are humanitarian based such as Samaritans and No More Deaths. But the organization I was with – Humane Borders – focuses mainly on setting up and maintaining mercy or water stations in areas such as where we were: the Buenos Aires National Refuge in the Sonoran Desert, south of Tucson. There are many of these stations spread out in remote areas on and off trails that migrants use. Each station is marked with a long, high flag pole that flies a navy blue flag. At every station is a barrel full of water and each week the barrels in all of these water stations are refilled and sometimes repaired or replaced if vandalized."
We're always amazed here at the ol' Summit Up World Headquarters by the kindness and generosity displayed by the fine people who call The Summit home. Keep up the good work.
That's about all we've got for today. 'Til we meet again …
