Here we go OK I've been at now for just about the full 12wks I've lost a total of 20lbs and rediscovered my Abs I Still have a lot of work to do but I'm really pleased with results thus far. I have my first show in 8 days I still cant believe it. This has been a crazy journey. I'm sorry the pics are not the best quality but I will have better updated pics when I post the final results along with pics from the show with beginning pics. Current weight is 168. I havent weighted this much since I was 18 and I'm going on 33. This journey has truly blown my mind. STAY MOTIVATED EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done!! You look great. All the best on your competition.
fit4life "The dream must be bigger than the pain"
Well wow - You look fabulous. Looking forward to hearing the results of the competition. Where will you be competing?
Wow! You look great! And I bet you'll do great on your competition. Let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the comments everyone, I will be competing in pensacola FL next SAT. Its the Physique category. I've never even been to a body building show so it just adds on to my nervousness. But regardless I'm going to see this through to the end and regardless of the results I'm only taking a couple of days off my diet and then Im back on my training regiment because this will not be my first and last show it is just the beginning. I've only been training for this for 3mos so thats not a lot of time so I'm going to keep at it.
Fit4Life your profile inspired me about two yrs ago after reading the book body for life challenge and then joining this website while in Germany. I"ve shared your results with many people to show them that anybody can do this with determination and staying consistent with your exercise and diet. I continue to use one of your quotes its my favorite:
" Do you want to wish you had or be glad you did"
Well I'm glad that I've did and will continue to do I truly plan to make this my lifestyle from this point on I can never go back to my old body lord willing that is. Thanks again and Take care. I hope I got your quote right take care and keep it up.
Looking great Simpdog, I think you have a great shot at the winning title if you continue. At what bodyfat percentage did your abs finally re-emerge? Just curious on this subject. I will be starting my C3 tommorrow and I am making that one of my top goals as well as a lower BMI and bodyfat level overall this time around. Thanks for your info and assistance on this one. My best wishes to you and Keep Moving Forward!
Thank you WPBill, Yes Im definetley going to keep at it. Forward progress I just tell myself I dont stop I will only continue to improve. As far as my abs I''m not sure what bodyfat perentage I was when they begin to come in but I can tell you I was doing cardio 5 to 6 days a week for at least 30 mins high intensity a lot of interval trng. My diet was pretty clean and still is pretty clean in the beginning I was eating about 6 to 8 meals a day every 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. To be honest as the weight came off the abs came in better I'm down to 170 right now which is really light at least compared to what i've weighed the last decade. My advice when it comes to abs it really starts in the Kitchen. If you master that the cardio and workouts will be a breeze. It truly is all about what you consume. Hope that helps and thanks again for the reply let me know if you have other questions take care.
Congrats on your transformation! I too, went on to compete after I finished my BFL journey in bikini (and also had never been to a show before either). It's such a high, and you will be hooked! Good luck!
Darius; Thankyou for those kind words. I have received encouragement from many bfler's over the years and I'm glad that I too can inspire others to live a healthy lifestyle. There is no reason that even in our 50's...60's and 70's that we can't be healthy and live active lifestyles. God Bless!!
You look great Simpdog. Go onto that stage with confidence, and a huge smile. :D
Pose hard up there!
Thanks again everyone for all the support and motivation. This website has helped me in many ways just reading other peoples story. In the beginning about two years ago I kept telling myself I wanted to be the person at the end of the challenge posting there results. Well here I am and I must say it feels GREAT!!!!! I leave out tomorrow morning for Pensacola for the show on Saturday. I weigh in tomorrow and prejudging Sat morning and night show that night this still seems unreal at this moment I cant wait to post pics from the show. Well a many thanks again to everyone and everyone keep doing what you do. Only Forward Progress. FIT4LIFE keep up the good work you are my MOTIVATION!!!!!. Take care everyone.
Hey Legs I checked out your profile. Great Pics and Great job on your show. Was that your first one. I was very impressed.
Best of luck and all our best wishes go with you Simpdog. Go there and take no prisioners on the dias champ! I thought of you yesterday when I saw a guy praticing his posing routine at the gym as he has for weeks now. Way to go and come home with a trophy if not you know you always did your best effort. Boooyeah!
So impressive Simpdog. Have a blessed and safe trip - We'll be looking for the good report!
Hey Darius: Just looked at your profile pics. You look incredible on that stage!!! How did you do? Was it fun?

Can I do a transformation at the same time I train for a marathon?
It is such a common question asked by trainees in body for life that it is even posed as an FAQ on the bodyforlife.com website: "FAQ - Q: I am training for a half-marathon this summer. Can I do the Body-for-LIFE program to help me get ready for it? Here is the brief answer that is given on the site: <br>"Endurance athletes tend to have a much higher training volume than is suggested in the Body-for-LIFE program (BFL). Both the duration and frequency of their cardio training is increased. This puts a premium on recovery to keep training quality high day after day and therefore additional demands on your nutritional program. To be successful, your caloric intake must be sufficient to complete a high volume of training. Simply eating more or bigger BFL meals may not suffice. The protein intake suggested in the program may be fine without increasing it. The carbohydrate and fat intake is likely to be inadequate, though. To structure a program that is adequate for decreasing body fat while endurance training, it may be best to consult books and magazines that are specific to your sport (running, biking, cross-country skiing). They should have fat loss programs that account for the specific demands of your training."
In essence, the website "punts" on the issue, referring the inquirer to "books and magazines that are specific to your sport." I think people need more information than that, and that's why this blog is written.
If you are talking marathon, you probably should choose which master you serve, Body for Life, or marathon running. They are literally inconsistent goals, and trying to do them both at the same time will likely result in unsatisfactory results in both. In fact, it more than likely will find you abandoning one or the other during the 12 weeks if you make a serious effort. Why? Simply because it is not possible to build in enough recovery time for the body to allow it to even continue levels of training, let alone become strengthened enough to continuously improve physical performance. Now, in posing this answer the way I have, I am assuming that the person wanting to do this is currently NEITHER a marathoner or a trained up bodybuilder. If that's not the case, then the answer certainly could be different.
For example, I trained to do a half marathon, and continued to do regular upper body workouts as well, during that entire time. I did not do regular lower body workouts, though I did do core exercises and I did do a regular regimen of good morning exercises. Good mornings are exercises done with a barbell on the shoulders and bending over with straight back and straight knees. They work the entire chain of muscles on the backside of the body, calves, hamstrings, glutes and spinae erectus muscles. They also work the stabilizer muscles around the hip joints and they provide a fabulous, functional stretch to the areas where runners constantly need help—the Achilles tendons, the plantar fascia and the hamstrings.
As for dietary needs, someone trying to do a marathon is likely to need about 50% of their caloric intake in low glycemic carbs, with an interspersing of high glycemic carbs during long training events. The rest would be made up ideally of 25% good fats or oils and 25% in high quality proteins.
Editor's note: I'm not actually sure that the website answer quoted above is still on this newer site, because I haven't checked. It was up on the old website for over a year.
Thanks, Mike.
Good info!
I favorited this thread for future reference.

Ralph Lauren - Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2008
Ralph Lauren Spring 2008(NEW YORK) For his 40th anniversary in fashion, Lauren staged the week's grandest show and after-party at the Central Park Conservancy. Robert De Niro, Diane Sawyer, Mayor Michael Bloomberg were just some of the many who came out to celebrate this American legend. The show included many of Lauren's signature themes-equestrian, old Hollywood, and Anglophilia, and alternated timeless looks with modern touches. The ruffled gowns, big polka dots on demure dresses, black gloves, and elegant wide-brim hats decorated with voile were beautiful and appropriate for a career anniversary, and definitely catered to the refined Upper East Side set. Lauren made up for his indulgent, ladies-who-lunch style with fluorescent green and black trenches and coats over black leggings tucked into short black boots and worn with jockey hats and ties. The modernity of these equestrian and punk combinations represented a new direction for Lauren. The show closed with bold-colored taffeta dresses which brought the designer back to his timeless glamour and put the 400 guests in party mood before the backdrop parted to reveal a candlelit garden.

The early history of this see is extremely obscure. The Scandinavian diocese, which included Man and the western isles of Scotland (The Southern Hebrides), was called Sodor (Suor-eyjar) in contradistinction to Nordr (Noror-eyjar) the Orkneys and Shetland. It is not known when Man was united with Sodor, but it may have been in the time of Magnus Barefoot (1098). Before that Man seems to have been a distinct see dependent on Dublin. When Man became the head of a separate kingdom, under the suzerainty of Norway, the joint Diocese of Sodor and Man was placed under the Archiepiscopate of Nidaros (Trondhjem) in Norway by Eugenius III (1152), an arrangement which was confirmed by Anastasius IV (1154). From then till 1458 Man remained under Drontheim, when Calixtus III transferred it to York.
The political connection of Man with Norway had been severed in 1266, after which it depended on Scotland till 1334 and finally on England. In the reign of Henry IV the king gave the island to the Stanleys, who thus acquired the patronage of the bishopries, but the bishops never attained the status of spiritual lords of Parliament. The last Catholic bishop was Thomas Stanley, who was appointed during the reign of Mary and was recognized as a bishop till his death in 1568. It is uncertain whether he accepted Elizabeth's changes or enjoyed immunity under the protection of the Stanleys. The cathedral, dedicated to St. Germain, was situated on St. Patrick's Isle and was built in 1245 on the site of an earlier building. It is now in a ruined state. There were only seventeen parishes in the island, all comprised in one archdeaconry. The arms of the see were: upon three ascents, the Virgin Mary standing with her arms distended between two pillars, on the dexter whereof a Church, in base the ancient arms of Man.

Don't want anyone to go through what I did.... Unfortunately – SERIOUSLY IF YOU HAVE HEALTHY HAIR DON'T GO HERE....... looks great the first time, but can't be repeated, most importantly lack of color expertise will damage your hair, unfortunately Never have had to write a review in a negative light before... Don't want others to go through what I did. Went to Dawn for color, yet it would never hold... The color kept fading, I had breakage, and my hair was so unhealthy.... Says she knows coloring, I trusted for I have not needed to color my hair, and was gravely disappointed. I kept going back hoping it would get better yet it didn't. Nice place, seemed like peaceful energy, they donate tips, yet what good is all of that if one's hair isn't healthy and isn't consistent and didn't last long... Same with the cut, Venessa, great cut once, yet couldn't do it again just as great... Kept cutting way too short, and angles, all wrong, making it difficult to style.... Save you're time and money, and don't be disappointed.....
Best Hair Studio...Hands Down...In San Diego! – Ubuntu is the best place in San Diego for hair, nails and make-up! Dawn and her staff make everyone feel special - like part of the family! And their expertise in everything from colour and cut to nails and make-up makes this THE go-to salon in San Diego County. Not to mention that they sell amazing products, they support and give to great organizations, and support other local San Diego businesses. Simply put, Ubuntu rocks. There is no other place I'd rather go.

text: Frankoma Pottery was originally known as The Frank Potteries when John F. Frank opened shop in 1933. The factory opened in Ada, Oklahoma, then moved to Sapulpa, Oklahoma in 1938. Early wares were made from a light cream-colored clay from Ada, Oklahoma, but in 1956 the company switched to a red burning clay from Sapulpa. The firm made dinnerwares, utilitarian and decorative kitchenwares, figurines, flowerpots, and limited edition and commemorative pieces. Important dinnerware lines include Lazybones, Mayan-Aztec, Oklahoma Plainsman, Wagon Wheel, and Westwind. John Frank died in 1973 and his daughter, Joniece, inherited the business. After financial problems, Frankoma was sold in 1991. The pottery operated under various owners for a few years and was bought by Joe Ragosta in 2008. It closed in 2010. The buildings, assets, name, and molds were sold at auction in 2011.

Nutrition Standards and Wellness to Take Center Stage at School Nutrition Conference
ALEXANDRIA, Va., (January 7, 2008) -- By navigating complex regulations, offering balanced, nutritionally sound meals and meeting financial constraints, school nutrition professionals are operating effective food and nutrition programs that positively impact children's health. From January 13 - 15, 2008, school nutrition professionals will join with representatives from food and beverage companies, kitchen equipment manufacturers, distributors, marketing professionals and more at the School Nutrition Association's annual Child Nutrition Industry Conference (CNIC) in Monterey, California to Share knowledge on nutrition standards, local wellness policy evaluation, USDA research and successful practices for using commodities. These conference attendees will build collaborative partnerships aimed at promoting healthy eating habits among children.
Studies have shown that today's healthy school lunches contain more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low fat dairy than brown bag lunches brought from home. School nutrition professionals are working to ensure nutrition integrity – advocating for policies that set nutrition standards based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans for all foods and beverages in the school environment. CNIC provides an opportunity for networking and relationship building to help achieve this goal.
The Conference includes sessions on innovative and healthful food, beverage and equipment items designed for today's nutritious school lunch; new research development in school nutrition and more. Over 350 attendees are expected for the three-day meeting that will include:
Prior to the Conference, on Saturday, January 12, 2007, SNA will host a National Nutrition Standards Summit. The Summit will bring together more than 100 SNA members from several membership sections as well as government and allied organization representatives. Invited attendees will discuss several proposed national nutrition standards. Feedback will be collected and used to develop final school nutrition principles expected to be approved by the SNA Board of Directors by April 2008.
Members of media are welcome to attend. Contact SNA at email address above to receive complimentary press registration.
The School Nutrition Association is a national, non-profit professional organization representing more than 55,000 members who provide high-quality, low-cost meals to students across the country. The Association and its members are dedicated to feeding children safe and nutritious meals. Founded in 1946, SNA is the only association devoted exclusively to protecting and enhancing children's health and well being through school meals and sound nutrition education.

Artistic Director, TheatreWorks, Singapore
Thursday, April 19, 20077:00 PM - 10:00 PMKaufman Hall 208Los Angeles, CA 90095
Bringing cultures, ideas and genres together, director Ong Keng Sen is one of the world's most provocative contemprorary voices in theater. His productions and initiatives have made theater a transcultural, transdisciplinary collaborative art. Keng Sen is known for his rejection of authenticity and his embracing of multiple realities and hybridity within Asia. His work is characterized by bold reinvention of classical methods and interweaving of theatrical traditions.
In 1994, Keng Sen initiated The Flying Circus Project, a creative strategy laboratory which is a robust encounter between contemporary arts and traditional performance. Believing that it is important to represent on stage an Asia of today, Keng Sen directed Lear which premiered in Tokyo. To date, this production has toured nine cities in Asia, Europe and Australia including the Festival of Perth. His rich body of international work ranges from the large scale critically acclaimed productions of LEAR and GEISHA to more intimate and personal stories based on the Milosevic trials and mass killings in Cambodia.

Reviewer: Quella Davis (Wadley, Georgia) 2.25.2014
Birthday Gift
I purchased this helmet for my boyfriend for his birthday. He has full face helmets but I wanted to get him a flip-up. I saw other reviews that said this helmet was cut small so i took their advice and ordered a size up and it fits him perfectly. This is a great helmet and the price is reasonable. Shipping was amazing. I ordered on a Tuesday and it was at my house on Thursday right on time for his birthday.
Reviewer: Jim A (Tarentum, Pa) 10.16.2013
Nice helmet for the money
Payed about the same price for the same helmet 8 years ago but without bluetooth capability. The flip up front is a great feature so I'd recomend this helmet.
Reviewer: DR Stuart (, ) 3.27.2013
Wonderful Fit.
I took the advice from other reviews, measured my head, looked at the size chart. Normally I would choose an XL or XXL but went with the XXXL. Fits like it was made for me. The only 'glitch' I have found so far is the two vents on top-sides do not seal at all. While they are small they will let some rain in. I have yet to extensively test the helmet but am looking forward to it.

Out of the Humidor
From the Print Edition:
Sylvester Stallone, July/August 2010
Dear Marvin,
Agreement is in order. Your editors' note regarding the Canadian women's hockey team was on point. To be caught up in a euphoric moment and drink a soda will not do the trick. The Canadian women's hockey team had a right to enjoy their moment. I believe a quote from the article on Chris Noth is applicable in this situation. He stated that his metaphor for life was "as you get older . . . as a person-you contract emotionally and spiritually. You have to keep stretching out and not let yourself contract." Can righteousness be stretched to become understanding?
Lauretta Johnson
San Diego, California
Dear Marvin,
I refer to your feature on the Oliva family ("Nicaragua's Next Giant"), specifically, where it mentions Sam Leccia's idea of creating the Nub for "getting to the sweet spot in a cigar quicker."
Sweet spot? It doesn't make sense to me. If the middle third or so of a cigar is considered the point where the flavors most closely match what the maker intended, I would think the cumulative effect of the first third has a huge bearing on what happens at that "sweet spot." Unlike with other art forms, you can't just eliminate the overture and cut to the chase. Cigars are about taste, and that's a continuum of sensations.
That said, I'm by no means against these short, fat, stubby new vitolas. The Montecristo Petit Edmundo and Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto are favorites of mine. But I do think their present popularity has as much to do with their brevity as their glorious volume and density of flavors.
Rehman Rashid
Jalan Kaloi, Kuala Lumpur
Dear Marvin,
Am I wrong in assuming that any publication should strive to increase their readership? So why is it you folks at Cigar Aficionado seem to do everything you can to alienate your core audience? (Which, perhaps mistakenly, I'm guessing are cigar smokers?) I find it ludicrous to believe that to live your so-called "good life" a man has to earn upwards of six figures and apparently be obsessed with the game of golf. Because that is the conclusion I reach from reading your magazine. Other than your cigar reviews and maybe one or two interview articles, there is little else in your publication to which I can relate. Seriously: $35,000 watches? Ham at $90 a pound? Vacations where I could not even afford one night's stay? That's an insult to most readers-especially in these times.
I'm an educated, hardworking man who provides for my family. I am not a millionaire, but believe it or not I like to enjoy a fine cigar several times a week. I just wish Cigar Aficionado would stop being so snobbish and realize that a lot of us "regular guys" enjoy premium cigars too. Who knows, you might not get invited to as many golf outings and fancy dinners, but maybe you could go back to being a monthly.
Christopher Salvetti
Dearborn Heights, Michigan
Editor's Response: Thanks for your letter. While we know that not every product reviewed can be afforded by all of our readers, we do try to search out the "best" in every category.

Dear Sirs,
I was just wondering about the prices of cigars. Let's say a box of Cohiba Esplendidos is around 465 Cuban convertible pesos (CUC) for a box. If I buy them in a Cuban cigar shop, does a retailer purchasing several hundred boxes get a discount, or does it pay the same price as everyone else? And the same question for Dominican cigars: Do retailers pay a different price than individuals?
Colin Little, Belleriver, Ontario,
submitted via Cigar Aficionado Online
Editor's Response: Cigar shops pay a different price for their cigars than do individuals. As with most retail channels, there is a retail price and a lower wholesale price.
In the world of Cuban cigars, the pricing and margin depends on the market. In general, a retailer buys from an agent, and then adds his or her margin to the price and then sells it to the consumer at a profit. Some markets have set markups, while others are free to do what they want.

In a move that has prompted a demand for a UN investigation by Iran's most celebrated human rights campaigner, the Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi, 36 universities have announced that 77 BA and BSc courses in the coming academic year will be "single gender" and effectively exclusive to men.
It follows years in which Iranian women students have outperformed men, a trend at odds with the traditional male-dominated outlook of the country's religious leaders. Women outnumbered men by three to two in passing this year's university entrance exam.
Senior clerics in Iran's theocratic regime have become concerned about the social side-effects of rising educational standards among women, including declining birth and marriage rates.
Under the new policy, women undergraduates will be excluded from a broad range of studies in some of the country's leading institutions, including English literature, English translation, hotel management, archaeology, nuclear physics, computer science, electrical engineering, industrial engineering and business management.

"I think what I mostly want to do is I want to block every person I get," Williams said. "And when I do, I want to punish him because I feel like from the last game I want to improve just a little bit more. And I think this is my chance to show just that I can block more and be a better blocker than just a better runner and catcher. I believe I can be more physical than I am now, so mostly coming into this last game I want to be in there blocking instead of running and getting touchdowns. I want to be the reason why other people get their touchdowns."
Late in the San Jose State game, BYU was down 20-14 and had just recovered an onside kick on the Cougars' 46-yard line. After Riley Nelson completed a pass to Ross Apo to the 21-yard line for a first down, San Jose State linebacker Keith Smith blitzed on the next play. Williams went to block Smith, but Smith jumped over the low block. The result was a sack on Nelson and a lost fumble. End of game.
"Yeah, yup it's still in my mind," said a somber Williams, still clearly affected by the outcome of that play. "The coaches help me a lot to not let it affect me for this next game, but to learn from it and try to improve from where I am now for the future."
Running the ball has never been much of an issue for the true freshman. As the season has worn on, Williams has also added catching the ball to his repertoire of skills. But the third pillar of being an effective running back at BYU is pass protection. It's a skill that takes some time to hone.
"Mostly, I learned the blocking schemes now, and I know them enough to where I can go out there and do my own thing blocking-wise as part of my skills," said Williams. "I'm not going to give up cut blocking. Cut blocking is still going to be one of my major ones, but I'm going to use them when it's time to use them. When I feel like I can go head up, then I'm going to go head up, which is about 85 percent of the time."
Williams has put a lot of time into honing his blocking skills.
"I mostly get one of the blocking bags and when they come at me I have to give them a real good push from where I'm at," Williams said. "I have to have a good base stance. I'm learning to have more of a base stance than a wide receiver type stance, so I'm learning to get a little more base and use my legs more for power instead of just trying to get in the way."
Williams takes it very personal – as was evident in his body language – when he sees the results of not performing a block well.
"I don't like to see my quarterback on the ground, even if it isn't my fault. I just feel like I need to block more just to help him out, and I feel like I just need to improve better if I'm going to make my true goal, which is the NFL. If I want to make it there, I have to be a better blocker than I am now."
So as the Cougars get set to face New Mexico State to close out the regular season, Williams wants to put his newfound focus on blocking to the test. But he also wants to achieve more.
"Probably just get a touchdown in these two last games mostly," said Williams with a smile. "I'm tied with somebody for touchdowns as a freshman. They said I'm tied for third with Harvey [Unga] for freshman touchdowns. Hopefully I can break it and get to second."
So far on the season, Williams has scored 12 touchdowns and leads the team in total points (72).
Following the season, Williams wants to physically prepare himself so he can be in a better position to take the next milestone of his BYU football career.
"Probably get a little bit bigger than what I am," Williams said with a chuckle. "I want to get over 205, maybe. I'm like 198."
Do teammates kid and tease him about his size despite his accomplishments?
"Nope, because the pads make me look big – the pads and the small bands," Williams said jokingly. "That's why I wear so many. And tattoos, they make me look big but I'm not, so it's just a little disguise that I use. When I get to that 215, I'll feel good about myself. Then I'll be able to run people over and stuff."
One thing is certain despite the final outcome of this season: when it comes to next year, Cougar fans have a lot to look forward to thanks to Williams, who should be focused and ready to take on the 2013 schedule.

I really enjoyed your Cure cover. You have a lovely voice!
I felt the same way a few years ago: I loved singing, but had no experience with instruments. I had the hardest time getting other people to play with me...so I just bit the bullet and learned to play something! I started with mandolin, but I highly recommend ukulele. It's easy to play and learn, and a lot of fun.
p.s. Your guitarist has a Mal Blum shirt! Awesome.

This was the fourth win for Donoho and the first loss for the Panthers this season. Senior quarterback Christ Carr led the Falcons in rushing with 160 out of 236 total yards.
"I'm extremely proud of my team," Donoho head coach Shannon Felder said. "We played hard, and the coaches knew this would be a hard fought game."
Donoho got off to a fast start, eventually building a 27-14 lead before Collinsville roared back.
Dalten Martin scored on the first drive on a 20-yard reception.
Collinsville went four-and-out on its first drive, but junior Jalyn Martin recovered a fumble on Donoho's next possession. After a false-start penalty, Martin took the ball up the middle for a 15-yard touchdown, tying the game with five minutes left in the first quarter.
Both teams struggled to move the ball for the rest of the quarter, but at the start of the second, Donoho quarterback Chris Carr put seven more on the board.
He kept the snap, broke two tackles in the backfield, and beat the defense to the corner for a 35-yard touchdown run.
The Panthers answered minutes later with a pass to junior receiver Christopher Leath who tied the score 14-14.
With 45 seconds left in the first half, Carr scrambled and, just before going down, flipped a short pass to Trey Brown, who ran it in for a 21-14 lead.
In the third quarter, the Falcons went up 27-14 when Justin Foster rushed 35 yards for a touchdown.
At the end of the third, the Panthers found themselves in Donoho territory, and capitalized with Martin running a touchdown out of the wildcat formation.
Foster snuffed a Collinsville drive with an interception, but the Panthers' Aaron Rodriguez took the ball back with his own interception.
On the next play, the Panthers ran a double pass, first to sophomore Dominick Brockitt, who then found Leath at the 20-yard line. Leath snagged the pass and blew through for a touchdown.
Donoho blocked the extra point, keeping the score tied at 27-27.
On the last drive, Donoho started and its own 10, and it ended with the Falcons putting Baker in position for his game-winning field goal.
"We played real flat in the first half," said Panthers head coach Ernie Willingham. "It took us a while to realize we were in a ball game. When they figured it out and started playing hard, we were two scores down."
Willingham acknowledged the talent of his players, but added his young team is inexperienced.
"We're improving," Willingham said. "We got to go back to work Monday."
Next Friday, the Falcons head to Falkville, while Collinsville hosts Cedar Bluff.

Pros – Find a good working environment and flexi working hours
Cons – If you have good approach in higher management (personal relations/relatives) then only you'll get benefits like salary and promotions otherwise they believe everyone is working for charity. They expect from employees for good work but they forgot their appreciations specially in yearly performance review. Normally best employees can get max 7% hike in 3 years and others who have a good approach in management can get promotions and hike twice in a year.
Advice to Senior Management – Check out the market outside and see their are many other organizations who respect their employees work and provide good opportunities.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

SAN ANTONIO — UTSA and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi will meet for the second time this spring when they square off in a 4 p.m. doubleheader on Wednesday at Roadrunner Field. The two games will serve as UTSA's final non-conference contests of the season.
The Roadrunners (20-19), who have dropped seven of their last eight games, will look to bounce back against their former Southland Conference foe and gain momentum heading into the final nine Western Athletic Conference games of the campaign.
Junior Siera Sproul leads the team with a .356 batting average and she became the third player on the squad to reach five home runs with a solo shot in the second game of last weekend's series at New Mexico State. Meanwhile, fellow junior Darian Blake is batting .429 with four doubles, a triple and three RBIs in her last 12 games to boost her season average to .352. The Birds own a .280 team mark and boast five hitters with an average better than .300.
The Islanders (8-31) have lost 16 of their last 18 outings, including losing two of three to Sam Houston State last weekend. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi rallied from a 4-0 deficit in game two of the series to snap a five-game losing streak before falling in Sunday's finale, 8-5. Led by Mickay Cochran's .286 average, the Islanders own a .224 team mark. Cochran leads the hitters with four homers, while Meagan McKinney's 19 RBIs are tops on the squad. Constance Brandenburg leads the pitching staff with five wins and 4.70 ERA.
UTSA leads the all-time series, 26-17, including a 12-5 mark in San Antonio. The Birds defeated the Islanders, 9-4, on March 13 in Corpus Christi.

Students create value between classroom, lab and the world outside
Opportunities can crop up at any moment and in the unlikeliest of places, but they are also cultivated by forward-thinkers seeking to reap other-than-market-variety success. Penn State students in several of the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences' intercollege graduate degree programs and graduate student groups are doing exactly that — creating their own opportunities for professional and academic advancement, research collaboration and fund-sourcing.
Researching the roles of rare genetic variants in disease
As scientists work toward further personalizing medical treatment through genomics, heritability -- the proportion of observed variation in a particular trait that can be attributed to inherited genetic factors -- is key to understanding more precisely how a person's DNA contributes to risk factors for such hereditary diseases as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's syndrome and various cancers.
Bighorn sheep researchers launch outreach website
To engage and inform the public, the Bighorn Sheep Disease Research Consortium -- including researchers from Penn State's Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences –- has launched bighornhealth.org.
Grad researcher investigates the role of specialized bone marrow cells
When breast cancer spreads, the disease typically invades the long bones of the body, such as the femur and tibia. Inside these long bones, giant marrow cells known as megakaryocytes (or MKs) go into overdrive in the presence of cancer and may contribute to destructive bone loss and embolisms. "The breast cancer survival rate is about 90 percent when it's detected early but drops considerably lower once the cancer has spread to the bones," says graduate student Walter Jackson. There hasn't been enough research on how these specialized bone marrow cells affect the spread of cancer cells, in spite of the fact that many cancer patients die of thromboembolism, or blood clots, he notes. "It's important that we learn more about bone metastasis and how to slow it down."
Genome of elastomeric materials creates novel materials
A wide range of biologically inspired materials may now be possible by combining protein studies, materials science and RNA sequencing, according to an international team of researchers.
Scientists mimic natural conditions in the lab to more accurately test stress
Events of adolescence can change individuals in dramatic ways that persist well into adulthood, according to a study by Penn State researchers, who used rats as a model for investigating long-term effects of stress.
New characterization of human genome mutability catalyzes biomedical research
As biomedical researchers continue to make progress toward the realization of personalized genomic medicine, their focus is increasingly tuned to highly mutable regions of the human genome that contribute significantly to genetic variation and many inherited disorders.
