For Newsom, length works as a weapon rather than a weakness, as it gives her all the time and room she needs to make the most of her ability as a singer, harpist, pianist and storyteller. A majority of the tracks play out as narratives, full of symbolism and motifs with a richness and vibrancy that would impress an author.
UCSB Takes Care of Business
Despite lacking the valuable services of junior center Mekia Valentine due to illness, the UCSB women’s basketball team still managed to bowl over Cal State Northridge 67-54 last night at the Matadome.

The win gives UCSB (10-16 overall, 7-7 in Big West) the regular-season sweep of CSUN (4-21, 2-11), having beaten the Matadors 69-55 previously at home.
