Wallis and Futuna, officially the Territory of the Wallis and Futuna Islands[5] (French: Wallis et Futuna or Territoire des îles Wallis et Futuna, Fakauvea and Fakafutuna: Uvea mo Futuna), is a French island collectivity in the South Pacific between Tuvalu to the northwest, Rotuma of Fiji to the west, the main part of Fiji to the southwest, Tonga to the southeast, Samoa to the east, the New Zealand-associated state of Tokelau to the northeast and to a more distant north the Phoenix Islands (Kiribati). Wallis and Futuna is not part of French Polynesia, nor even contiguous with it, as the former are located at the very opposite western end of Polynesia.
Its land area is 264 km2 (102 sq mi) with a population of about 15,000. Mata-Utu is the capital and biggest city. The territory is made up of three main volcanic tropical islands along with a number of tiny islets, and is split into two island groups that lie about 260 km (160 mi) apart, namely Wallis Islands (Uvea) in the northeast, and Hoorn Islands (also called the Futuna Islands) in the southwest, including Futuna Island proper and the mostly uninhabited Alofi Island.
Since 2003 Wallis and Futuna has been a French overseas collectivity (collectivité d'outre-mer, or COM). Between 1961 and 2003, it had the status of a French overseas territory (territoire d'outre-mer, or TOM), though its official name did not change when the status changed.
The territory is divided into three traditional kingdoms (royaumes coutumiers): Uvea, on the island of Wallis, Sigave, on the western part of the island of Futuna, and Alo, on the island of Alofi and on the eastern part of the island of Futuna (only Uvea is further subdivided, into three districts):

The capital of the collectivity is Matāʻutu on the island of Uvéa, the most populous of the Wallis Islands. As an overseas collectivity of France, it is governed under the French constitution of 28 September 1958, and has universal suffrage for those over 18 years of age. The French president is elected by popular vote for a five-year term; the high administrator is appointed by the French president on the advice of the French Ministry of the Interior; the presidents of the Territorial Government and the Territorial Assembly are elected by the members of the assembly.
The head of state is President François Hollande of France as represented by the Administrator-Superior Michel Jeanjean (since July 2010). The President of the Territorial Assembly is Petelo Hanisi since 11 December 2013.[6] The Council of the Territory consists of three kings (monarchs of the three pre-colonial kingdoms) and three members appointed by the high administrator on the advice of the Territorial Assembly.
The legislative branch consists of the unicameral Territorial Assembly or Assemblée territoriale of 20 seats; the members are elected by popular vote to serve five-year terms. Wallis and Futuna elects one senator to the French Senate and one deputy to the French National Assembly.
Justice is generally administered under French law by a tribunal of first instance in Mata-Utu, but the three traditional kingdoms administer justice according to customary law (only for non-criminal cases). The court of appeal is in Nouméa, New Caledonia.
The territory participates in the Franc Zone, and as a permanent member of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community and as an observer of the Pacific Islands Forum.
Although the Dutch and the British were the European discoverers of the islands in the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the French who were the first Europeans to settle in the territory, with the arrival of French missionaries in 1837, who converted the population to Roman Catholicism. Pierre Chanel, canonized as a saint in 1954, is a major patron of the island of Futuna and the region. The Wallis Islands are named after the British explorer, Samuel Wallis.[citation needed]
On 5 April 1842, the missionaries asked for the protection of France after the rebellion of a part of the local population. On 5 April 1887, the queen of Uvea (on the island of Wallis) signed a treaty officially establishing a French protectorate. The kings of Sigave and Alo on the islands of Futuna and Alofi also signed a treaty establishing a French protectorate on 16 February 1888. The islands were put under the authority of the French colony of New Caledonia.
In 1917, the three traditional kingdoms were annexed to France and turned into the Colony of Wallis and Futuna, which was still under the authority of the Colony of New Caledonia.[citation needed]
During World War II the island's administration was pro-Vichy until a Free French corvette from New Caledonia deposed the regime on 26 May 1942. Units of the US Marine Corps landed on Wallis on 29 May 1942.[7]
In 1959, the inhabitants of the islands voted to become a French overseas territory, effective in 1961, thus ending their subordination to New Caledonia.[8]
In 2005, the 50th king, Tomasi Kulimoetoke II, faced being deposed after giving sanctuary to his grandson who was convicted of manslaughter. The king claimed his grandson should be judged by tribal law rather than by the French penal system. There were riots in the streets involving the king's supporters, who were victorious over attempts to replace the king. Two years later, Tomasi Kulimoetoke died on 7 May 2007. The state was in a six-month period of mourning. During this period, mentioning a successor was forbidden.[9] On 25 July 2008, Kapiliele Faupala was installed as king despite protests from some of the royal clans.
Wallis and Futuna is located about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to New Zealand, at 13°18′S 176°12′W / 13.300°S 176.200°WCoordinates: 13°18′S 176°12′W / 13.300°S 176.200°W, (225 mi west of Samoa and 300 mi (480 km) north-east of Fiji).
The territory includes the island of Uvéa (the most populous), the island of Futuna, the essentially uninhabited island of Alofi (the population of Alofi was reportedly eaten by the cannibal people of Futuna in one single raid in the 19th century), and 20 uninhabited islets, totaling 274 square kilometres (106 sq mi) with 129 kilometres (80 mi) of coastline. The highest point in the territory is Mont Puke (on the island of Futuna) at 524 metres (1,719 ft).
The islands have a hot, rainy season from November to April with associated storms caused by the passage of tropical cyclones over the islands. There is a cool, dry season from May to October caused by the predominance of the south-east trade winds during this time. Average annual rainfall is 2,500 to 3,000 millimetres (98–118 in) with rainfall likely on at least 260 days each year. The average humidity is 80% and the average temperature is 26.6 °C (79.9 °F), rarely falling below 24.0 °C (75.2 °F) and ranging between 28.0 °C (82.4 °F) and 32.0 °C (89.6 °F) during the rainy season.
Only five percent of the islands' land area is arable land; permanent crops cover another 20%. Deforestation (only small portions of the original forests remain), largely as a result of the continued use of wood as the main fuel source, is a serious problem; as a consequence of cutting down the forests, the mountainous terrain of Futuna is particularly prone to erosion. There are no permanent settlements on Alofi because of the lack of natural fresh water resources.
The two island groups lie about 260 km apart:
- Wallis Islands (Uvea), in the northeast
- Wallis Island (Uvea)
- Hoorn Islands (Futuna Islands), in the southwest
The GDP of Wallis and Futuna in 2005 was 188 million US dollars at market exchange rates.[4] The territory's economy is limited to traditional subsistence agriculture, with about 80% of the labor force earning its livelihood from agriculture (coconuts and vegetables), livestock (mostly pigs), and fishing. About 4% of the population is employed in government. Revenues come from French government subsidies, licensing of fishing rights to Japan and South Korea, import taxes, and remittances from expatriate workers in New Caledonia, French Polynesia and France. Industries include copra, handicrafts, fishing, and lumber. In 1991, BNP Nouvelle-Calédonie, a subsidiary of BNP Paribas, established a subsidiary, Banque de Wallis et Futuna, which currently is the only bank in the territory. Two years earlier Banque Indosuez had closed the branch at Mata-Utu that it had opened in 1977, leaving the territory without any bank.
The total population of the territory at the July 2008 census was 13,484 (68.4% on the island of Wallis, 31.6% on the island of Futuna),[3] down from 14,944 at the July 2003 census.[10] The vast majority of the population are of Polynesian ethnicity, with a small minority of Metropolitan French descent and/or native-born whites of French descent. More than 16,000 Wallisians and Futunians live as expatriates in New Caledonia, which is more than the total population of Wallis and Futuna. The overwhelming majority of the people in Wallis and Futuna are Catholic.
At the 2008 census, among the population whose age was 14 and older, 60.2% of people reported that the language they speak the most at home is Wallisian, 29.9% reported that the language they speak the most at home is Futunan, and 9.7% reported that the language they speak the most at home is French.[11] On Wallis Island, the languages most spoken at home were Wallisian (86.1%), French (12.1%), and Futunan (1.5%).[11] On Futuna, the languages most spoken at home were Futunan (94.9%), French (4.2%), and Wallisian (0.8%).[11]
At the same 2008 census, 88.5% of people whose age was 14 or older reported that they could speak, read and write either Wallisian or Futunan, whereas 7.2% reported that they had no knowledge of either Wallisian or Futunan.[11] 78.2% of people whose age was 14 or older reported that they could speak, read and write French, whereas 17.3% reported that they had no knowledge of French.[11] On Wallis Island, 81.1% of people whose age was 14 or older reported that they could speak, read and write French, whereas 14.3% reported that they had no knowledge of French.[11] On Futuna, 71.6% of people whose age was 14 or older reported that they could speak, read and write French, whereas 24.3% reported that they had no knowledge of French.[11]
Historical population[edit]
|Official figures from past censuses.[3][10]
The culture of Wallis and Futuna is Polynesian, and is very similar to the cultures of its neighbouring nations Samoa and Tonga. The Wallisian and Futunan cultures share very similar components in language, dance, cuisine and modes of celebration.
Fishing and agriculture are the traditional practices and most people live in traditional fate houses in an oval shape made of thatch.[12] Kava, as with many Polynesian islands, is a popular beverage brewed in the two islands, and is a traditional offering in rituals.[12] Highly detailed tapa cloth art is a specialty of Wallis and Futuna.[13]
Transport and communications[edit]
In 1994, the territory had 1,125 telephones in use, had one AM radio station, and two television broadcast stations. Communication costs are high, costing up to ten times as much as western countries. The island of Wallis has about 100 kilometres (62 mi) of highway, of which 16 are paved, while the island of Futuna has only 20 kilometres (12 mi), none paved. The territory has two main ports and harbours, Mata-Utu and Leava (on the island of Futuna), that support its merchant marine fleet consisting of three ships (two passenger ships and a petroleum tanker), totaling 92,060 GRT or 45,881 tonnes. There are two airports, one on Wallis with a paved runway of 2.1 kilometres (1.3 mi), and one on Futuna with a 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) unpaved strip. New Caledonia-based Aircalin operates the only commercial flights that go to Wallis, where it has an office in Mata-Utu. There are no commercial boat operators.
The territory's data code and country code (top level Internet domain) is .wf. Currently this is suspended in favor of the .fr and .nc (Nouvelle Calédonie) data code.

Apple has begun mass production of iPad mini, according to The Wall Street Journal
Read the full: Apple starts production of iPad Mini, claims WSJ | Apple - CNET NewsThe paper cited Asian component suppliers within Apple's supply chain, referencing two people familiar with the device who declined to be named.
According to the sources, Apple's rumored product, dubbed the "iPad Mini," will have a 7.85-inch liquid-crystal display -- noticeably smaller than the 9.7-inch screen of the existing iPad, now in its third generation. It will also be lower-resolution than the iPad 3's Retina display.
The iPad Mini is thought to be Apple's response to the smaller, less expensive tablets offered by its rivals, including Google, Samsung and Amazon.

PARIS, France - After a dramatic completion to a suspended semifinal, theFrench Open doubles final is set, with No.4 seeds Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci taking on No.7 seeds Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova on Friday.
Kirilenko and Petrova rallied from 64 41 down to split sets with fifth-seeded Czechs Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka on Wednesday before darkness suspended play. After Thursday's resumption, there were no breaks of serve until the Russians broke Hlavackova's at 6-5 to close out their 46 75 75 defeat of the defending champions.
Kirilenko and Petrova are 3-0 in finals, including a win over Errani and Vinci for their biggest triumph - in Miami earlier this year. However, the Italians have since beaten them in the semifinals of Madrid and the quarterfinals of Rome.
Errani and Vinci had a more routine semifinal victory, 64 62, over No.12 seedsNuria Llagostera Vives and María José Martínez Sánchez on Wednesday. The closest they came to trouble was when they dropped three straight games after jumping out to a 3-0 first set lead, but they only lost three more games the rest of the way. Errani is having a dream fortnight, as she is also into the singles final, making her the first player to make the final of both French Open events since Kim Clijsters was runner-up in singles and won the doubles in 2003.
The triumph stretched Errani and Vinci's win streak to 18, longest since Cara Black and Liezel Huber won 22 in a row in 2007. They are going for their 11th title as a duo, their sixth of the year and their fourth in a row, having captured Barcelona, Madrid and Rome coming into Roland Garros. They are also 22-0 on clay this year. This will be their second straight major final, having been runners-up in January's Australian Open final to another pair of Russians,Svetlana Kuznetsova and Vera Zvonareva.

DAVAI ...HAT-TRICK for Anastasia in Monterrey !!!
MOSCOW, April 8 (R-Sport) - Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova held firm against tough resistance from Angelique Kerber to win the Monterrey Open in Mexico for the third time.
Pavlyuchenkova has never lost in Monterrey, winning the title every time she has entered the tournament and continued that record in a 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over Germany's Kerber.
"It's amazing. I still can't believe it, really," she was quoted as saying on the WTA website.
"After my first match this week I said it would be a dream come true to win it three times in a row, and I did, so the dream really did come true."
Kerber fought till the end in the final, winning four games in a row to come back from 5-0 down in the decider, but conceded she had lost to the better player on the day.
"Anastasia was playing very well today," the German said on the WTA website. "She was just hitting the ball better at the most important moments."
Monterrey accounts for three of Pavlyuchenkova's four career WTA title wins, the other coming in Istanbul in 2010. Following the win, she rises six places to 20th in the world rankings, while Kerber remains sixth in an unchanged top ten.
In the doubles final, top seeds Timea Babos and Kimiko Date-Krumm won 6-1, 6-4 against Eva Birnerova and Tamarine Tamasugarn, seeded third.
The Monterrey Open is a hard-court WTA International tournament with a $235,000 prize fund.
MOSCOW, April 15 (R-Sport) - Five-time Grand Slam champion Martina Hingis is to coach Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the Russian announced Monday.
Pavlyuchenkova rose to 20th in the world on the back of her third title in Monterrey last week, and has enlisted the retired Swiss star's help for this weekend's Fed Cup match and beyond.
"Now I'm starting my collaboration with Martina Hingis and we are going to try all the clay court series," the 21-year-old said on her website.
"She is coming to Moscow this week to help me for Fed Cup."
Pavlyuchenkova teams up with Maria Kirilenko, Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina for this weekend's World Group semifinal against Slovakia on red clay in Moscow. Slovakia is led by world No. 15 Dominika Cibulkova.
Hingis will attempt to improve the Russian's consistency after first-round defeats at the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami and elsewhere.
TEAM RUSSIA CAME BACK FROM 20 to 22...Doubles with Makarova/Vesnina made the difference ...DAVAI !!!
DAVAI and congratulations to Nastya Pavly; first clay title at Portugal Open over Suarez Navarro 75 62
"someone" is very HAPPY...know her?
Hingis was Anna Kournikova's partner in doubles in tennis. Unfortunatly Hingis was tested positively so she had to quit tournaments. It is a great lesson for tennis players who use drugs today to improve their results in tennis.

Designers are often mislead about risk assessments in the design process from a poor understanding of how construction safety relates to the general application of health and safety under the Health and Safety at Work Etc Act 1974. The key to correct application of health and safety legislation in design is to focus on Design Risk Management as required under the Management Regulations and the CDM Regulations.
This seminar will focus on the process for Design Risk Management and how designers can discharge their duties under health and safety legislation (including the CDM Regs).
This session will include:
• Update on Statistics
• The HASAWA as the Umbrella Legislation in Construction
• Construction Specific Safety Legislations
• Legislation to be Considered by Designers
• Design Risk Management – The Process
• Design Risk Management (Good Practice) v Design Risk Assessment (Bad Practice)
This will be supported by real-life examples.

Fantastic facility – Ate here on Valentine's day with the old lady and was quite impressed by the ambiance of their facility. Steaks were great but nothing out of the park. The ambiance is what keeps me coming back to Ruth Chris.
Classic Ruth's Chris – We ate here on New Years Eve -- had a reservation -- and waited 20 minutes to be seated. The table we got was out in the middle of the aisle -- we were not happy to say the least. We would have spent the evening having servers and other guests running into our table all night. We were getting ready to request a new table when another group requested a new table -- they had a table right up against the window --which to us was the perfect table. Our server noticed we weren't happy with our table and asked us if we wanted to switch to the other table -- so we got a great table.
The food was good -- although the salads were definitey rushed. You could tell they were trying to get people out that night. But I don't pay that kind of money to be rushed out. So once they served us the main course -- we took our time to eat.
One thing was strange --- we've been to at least 20 Ruth's Chris restaurants all over the country -- and this is I believe the first one that didn't have sin cake. My husband was disappointed as that is his favorite.
My steak was a bit on the fatty side, and they were not served sizzling -- which is irratating. You just know they are sitting back there waiting to be served. I order my steak med. rare so it can finish cooking on the plate -- but when it's not sizziling when it comes out -- then it doesn't finish cooking all the way.... so that was another disappointment.
Overall we have had many other great meals at other RC restaurants -- and even at this location before. I think because of the holiday they were packed and that made the meal suffer a little. Too bad they can't maintain the same level of service/food quality when they are super busy as when they have just a normal night.
Sophisticated American chain serves up corn-fed USDA prime cuts and New Orleans-style appetizers and sides. – In Short
This offshoot of a popular New Orleans hangout for politicians features decor of dark woods and comfortable booths, with a separate bar scene. Choice cuts of custom-aged beef arrive in sizzling butter on 500-degree plates. The menu also offers chicken, pork and seafood entrees along with Creole appetizers like shrimp remoulade. Family-style sides include gargantuan onion rings, creamed spinach and various styles of potatoes. Traditional homemade desserts like cheesecake and bread pudding conclude the meal.
Just Not The Same!!! – Ruth Chris is by far one of my favorite place to eat, but not this one! I've ate at atleast six different locations and this is not on par with any of the others. Ambiance does not exisit at the San Degio location. The resturant was unappealing. It was outdated with dirty smelly carpet.! Our dinner lacked flavor. One of my favorite side dishes to order is the heir loom tomatoes, but when I ate it here it tasted awful. It was soggy and on the bitter side. For my entree I had the rib eye and it didn't have the signature Ruth Chris flavor. Although I ordered medium rare, the steak tasted dry. I don't recommend this restaurant at all!!!
Absolutely Incredible! – I've gotta admit that this restaurant is absolutely incredible. Delicious and worth every penny. Yes, pricey but if you are looking for a good piece of meat this is the place to go for the steak. They cook it just right! Combined with a bottle of red wine and the mash potatoes you have a delectable unforgetable meal! I would recommend this to anyone anyday!!
BEST PLACE EVER – This the best place ever. Ruth Chris is my favorite restaurant they have the richest food. You can never go wrong, everything is soooooo delicious. The desserts they serve are to die for, two people can share. This is the perfect place to treat your self and you won't regret what you've spent. The atmosphere is very relaxing and special just perfect for that special person your dining with. I would recommend Ruth Chris Steak House to everyone. Go at least once, I guarantee you'll be hooked.

In the Lehigh Valley's retail world, 2011 was chock-full of big restaurant news
And 2012 may mirror that.
The Valley's burgeoning world of casual eats will get even meatier when Wally's Wicked Wings opens Jan. 7 at the former Zing Bar & Grill on Route 309 in Richland Township.
The casual fare of wings, sandwiches and beer has really taken off in recent years.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
Karl Knepper noticed the trend, and decided to put his mark on the burgeoning market.
Wally's menu is anchored by traditional and boneless wings dipped in a choice of 17 different sauces, such as honey barbecue, general tso's, mild millie and sweet chili.
There are also buffalo shrimp, chicken fingers, pierogies, sweet potato fries, smokehouse ribs, fish and chips, burgers, and sandwiches like buffalo shrimp wraps, Reubens and pulled pork.
Knepper worked at Zing's Bar & Grill until the place closed in July. The wings venture keeps much of the interior unchanged, though there is an additional lounge and a new green and blue color palate.
Libations include 12 beers on tap and dozens in bottles, along with 100-ounce table taps and buckets of beer.
Knepper said there are plans to open additional Wally Wicked Wings, but those details will come later.
Wally's website: http://www.wallyswickedwings.com
Vietnamese restaurant Hai Ky Pho Ga is expected to open soon at the former Jamaican restaurant Island in the Sun space at 1236 MacArthur Road, Whitehall Township. The storefront has been vacant since Island in the Sun moved to downtown Allentown in 2010.
The Amigo Mio Café has reopened after a short hiatus. The Mexican eatery at 545 Cleveland St., Allentown, is known as much for its subtle ambience as authentic food like flauta and chicken molé verde.
Colleague Nicole Radzievich" reported that Bethlehem candymaker Just Born is bolstering its presence in the Christmas City with plans to open a retail store in the The Shoppes at the Sands luxury outlet mall.
This will be Just Born's third retail store. The maker of Peeps and Mike & Ike has retail stores in Maryland and Minnesota.
I reported days ago that the long-vacant Jack Jones Buick building on Broad Street in west Bethlehem could house Starbucks and Rita's Italian Ice.
Well, that's if developer Abe Atiyeh has his way.
Atiyeh recently purchased the 24,000-square-foot building and hopes to use the upper level for commercial office space, and the lower level for retailers, he said.
Atiyeh is trying to court Starbucks and Rita's Italian Ice for the space. If Starbucks says no, Atiyeh said he could seek popular doughnut peddler Yum Yum Bake Shop.
Let's recap some of 2011's restaurant churn and look toward the horizon, too.
In the last 12 months, we witnessed some high-profile openings like cigar-inspired eateries Wooden Match at former Main Street Depot in downtown Bethlehem and Leaf Restaurant Cigar Bar & Lounge in Forks Township, Thai Thai House in Emmaus, Black & Blue in Easton, Tilted Kilt on Allentown's Lehigh Street, Buffalo Wild Wings in Lower Nazareth Township, Molinari's and Horns in south Bethlehem. El Toro Loco restaurant replaced Montana West in Richland Township, and regionally known eateries such as Big Woody's, Roosevelt's 21st and P.J. Whelihans added more locations to the area.
The year also meant a sea of changes that included new ownership and major upgrades to the popular South Whitehall Township eatery The Paddock. Mountainside Restaurant & Lounge traded its fine dining concept for a sports bar theme. The Mint turned a bank branch into a restaurant in west Bethlehem, Blue grillhouse in Bethlehem Township underwent a major renovation and the long-vacant Bowers Hotel in Maxatawny Township reopened. Strange Brew gave life to an Allentown space dark since Jelly Beans Southside Jam closed years ago.
We can't forget the fanfare when the burgers chain White Castle opened its only Pennsylvania restaurant on MacArthur Road weeks ago. The restaurant set a corporate record for opening-week sales, beating the previous revenue total by 8.3 percent, officials told colleague Dan Hartzell.
All news wasn't good, though. The year was peppered with high-profile closings such as Jack Creek Steakhouse & Cantina in Hanover Township, Lehigh County, Charlie Brown's in South Whitehall, Bob Evans in Allentown, and the Tap & Table gastropub in Upper Milford Township.
Now, 2012 is shaping to be a similar 365-day-marathon of news for the fork-and-knife crowd.
Retail-rich Whitehall Township plans to welcome the Valley's inaugural Chipotle when the Mexican restaurant opens in the Lehigh Valley Mall in the spring. The buffet chain Golden Corral is looking to open a location at the mall as well. Other eateries on the horizon for the township are Buffalo Wild Wings on Grape Street, which plans to set up across from the Keystone Pub still under construction in Whitehall Township.
Some other restaurant news that may come this year are the opening of Checkers' inaugural Valley restaurant at S. Fourth Street and Emmaus Avenue in south Allentown, the addition of a pub at Wegmans' Allentown store, and a White Castle restaurant on Route 22 in Phillipsburg. Don Juan Mexican Grill wants more than just its location in Easton, and the burgeoning steakhouse chain Logan's Roadhouse is building a restaurant in the Airport Center shopping plaza.
One more thing about White Castle: The chain made national headlines days ago when it unveiled testing of wine and beer sales at a restaurant in Indiana.
I thought people went to White Castle to sober up.
This is not really a new venture in the fast-food world since chains like Burger King and McDonald's have been peddling beer at restaurants in Europe for quite awhile.
News reports said White Castle could try the idea at more of its 400 restaurants.
Retail Watch keeps track of new store, restaurant and bank development in the Lehigh Valley.

LINCOLN — When Penn State snapped the football 10 yards away from the end zone on a second-quarter play, Nebraska cornerback Ciante Evans was raising his hands above his head and shouting toward one of his teammates.
The football didn't go to Evans' side of the field, but there were plenty of other confused Huskers scrambling in that moment. And the 10-yard touchdown pass, which put Penn State up 17-6, wasn't the only time that members of the Nebraska defense were out of position or late to react against the efficient and fast-paced offensive attack.
And that's why NU's defensive coaching staff took responsibility within the locker room for the 20-6 halftime deficit, vowing to make quicker and simpler play calls in the second half. The strategic adjustment helped change the momentum in Saturday's 32-23 win over the Nittany Lions.
"The hardest part in the first half was getting the call on the field," senior defensive end Cameron Meredith said. "They started running a lot of hurry-up, and we were really flustered by it because we were trying to get a call."
Nebraska knew the Nittany Lions would operate without a huddle at some point Saturday. It wasn't supposed to be that often, though.
Film study doesn't always reveal an offense's tempo or its sudden increase in pace, but defensive coordinator John Papuchis said tapes showed PSU opponents occasionally wouldn't be lined up at the snap — a sign that the Nittany Lions were moving quicker than expected. Papuchis said other coaches told NU's staff to be ready for it, too.
Yet Penn State burned Nebraska with a quick snap often in the first half.
It was most evident on quarterback Matt McGloin's 10-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jesse James late in the second quarter — and during the sequence of plays leading up to that score.
The Huskers used all three of their first-half timeouts on defense, the third and final one called with 3:34 left before halftime because they had 12 players on the field. Two plays later, they were called offside because a two-player substitution took too much time and the guys leaving the field didn't reach the sideline before McGloin snapped the football.
After a 4-yard run, McGloin found James wide open in the flat, and the freshman rumbled in untouched.
"Half were playing one defense; half were playing another," Papuchis said.
Coach Bo Pelini said it was his fault.
"I saw what they were going to come out in and I made a bad call, and that put our guys in a bad situation," Pelini said.
|See which team's fans won the battle on social media.
Nebraska's defense is often at its best when it's mixing up pass coverage schemes and varying blitz packages, never letting an opponent get comfortable. That was the game plan Saturday, anyway.
Penn State was moving too fast, though. The Nittany Lions mixed up their formations and broke a few tendencies.
On the game's fourth play, the Nittany Lions split two tight ends out wide with two receivers lined up in slot positions, leaving one 232-pounder in the backfield. Nebraska was prepared for that formation, a tweaked four-receiver set.
But NU initially expected a screen or a draw. A pre-snap adjustment wasn't relayed in time. And Zach Zwinak darted right up the middle for a 50-yard touchdown to put Penn State up 7-0 not even two minutes into the game.
"You don't want the tempo to force you into being vanilla, but you don't want to be too cute, to where it leads to big plays," Papuchis said. "It's a fine line."
The Huskers were on the wrong side of that line in the first half. And they were frustrated because of it.
Down 20-6, Nebraska had allowed 5.3 yards per carry and 16 yards per completion through two quarters. Had Alonzo Whaley not forced a fumble inside the red zone (recovered by Will Compton), the deficit would have likely been worse.
Tempers flared a bit after mistakes. TV cameras caught safety Daimion Stafford involved in what appeared to be a heated exchange with Pelini. Evans said the message at halftime was simply to "calm down."
Controlling their emotions helped the Huskers find a rhythm Saturday, according to Papuchis.
"One thing I talked to our guys (about) after the game — both us as coaches and them as players — is when things get chaotic, we've got to stay even-keel," Papuchis said. "I think we learned that lesson."
Penn State managed just 3.5 yards per run after halftime. McGloin, who started 10 for 17, completed just 8 of his final 20 pass attempts for 80 yards.
Stafford's third-quarter interception set up Imani Cross' second touchdown, tying the game at 20.
Penn State answered with a field goal, but once again, the Huskers found a way to stiffen with the game on the line. They limited three of the Nittany Lions' last four drives to fewer than five plays. The other PSU possession went inside the NU 5-yard line, but David Santos knocked the football out of Matt Lehman's hands as the tight end attempted to stretch across the goal line.
Of the last 13 drives that have started in the fourth quarter against Nebraska's defense, none have resulted in points for the opposition. Fewer than 4 yards per play. Two interceptions, a fumble, a safety and a missed field goal.
Penn State had three possessions in the final five minutes Saturday and never recorded a first down.
"Our guys are great at making adjustments," Papuchis said. "But we have to be better as coaches."

Reed junior center fielder Mary Dettling and Spanish Springs junior pitcher Brette Lawrence were named the co-Player of the Year.
Dettling nearly played error-free in the outfield this season, but she also did plenty of damage at the plate, leading her team in batting average (.491), RBI (34), doubles (10), triples (2), home runs (3), walks (19), on-base percentage (.564) and slugging percentage (.696). Dettling's 55 hits and 39 runs were second most on the team.
"Mary had a phenomenal year as a junior. I think she had an outstanding year as a sophomore and I actually considered putting her up last year," Reed softball coach Jon Wunder said. "I was pretty confident going into the season that she had a good shot at it, and she didn't disappoint…She was a big contributor on our team, and I'm glad we have her another year."
Lawrence was the Cougars' ace pitcher, but one of the best hitters as well, leading the team in batting average (.486), hits (54), RBI (32), doubles (12) and on-base percentage (.533).
In the circle, the southpaw racked up a 20-7 record with a 1.33 ERA. She pitched 26 complete games and had nine shutouts. In 173 innings pitched, Lawrence struck out 155 and allowed 143 hits.
"I feel like it's a pretty big deal. It's exciting," Lawrence said. "I think I had a pretty good season, a lot better than last year. My batting average was higher, and I definitely pitched a lot more, which I like. I'm pumped for next year."
Reed's ace pitcher this season, sophomore Jackie Sertic, shared Pitcher of the Year honors with Damonte Ranch junior Kalyn Paque.
Sertic finished with a 12-3 record and three saves. Her ERA was a paltry 1.51, and she struck out 109 hitters in 111.1 innings, while walking 23 and giving up 110 hits. She also went the distance nine times.
"Jackie and Megan (Dettling) alternated games pretty much all season. Her and Jackie's records were comparable. I put them both up and left it up to the coaches," Wunder said. "From what I heard from the coaches when they voted, I think it was just Jackie's mound presence. To Jackie's credit, she's one of those kids who can start a game and be successful or come in in relief. She relished the opportunity to come in during a tough game in relief.
"I think that's really a compliment to her. It's hard to believe she's only a sophomore."
Reed and Spanish Springs had plenty of other players recognized by the North's coaches.
Reed senior second baseman Cori Gammon was a first team all-league selection after leading the Blue and Gold with 56 hits and 40 runs scored from the leadoff spot. Her .463 batting average was second on the team, and she also drove in 25 RBI.
Teammate junior Lindsay Yearman was named a first team outfielder after batting .337 with 16 runs and 18 RBI.
Sophomore pitcher Megan Dettling (12-4, 2.42 ERA, 104 K's in 81 IP) and senior designated player Shivaun Landeros (.295, 20 runs, 22 RBI) were also placed on the first team.
For the Cougs, senior outfielder Bella Rovens and junior catcher Sidney Sinclair were first teamers. Rovens hit .329 with 24 runs scored, while Sinclair had a .419 batting average and drove in 20 runs.
Spanish Springs' leading home run hitter, junior outfielder Kelsey Stroshine, was named to the second team after launching five homers and hitting at a .333 clip. Her 27 RBI were second on the team.
A fellow outfielder from Reed also made the second team. Senior Hannah Martini was third on the Raiders with 30 runs and 36 hits, finishing with a .305 batting average.
Also on the second team for Reed were senior third baseman Andi Lee (.343, 35 hits, 26 RBI, 20 runs) and senior catcher Makaela Moore (.265, 20 runs, 26 hits, 27 RBI).
Spanish Springs had a freshman selected to the second team as first baseman/pitcher Ally Batastini was given a second team utility honor. She was second on the team with 28 hits despite batting .289. She had 20 RBI and three home runs. Batastini was 5-3 in the circle with a 2.82 ERA and a shutout.
Receiving honorable mentions for Reed were sophomore shortstop Laura Frost and junior first baseman Danaya Thompson.
For Spanish Springs, senior second baseman Dani Smith and sophomore shortstop Bayley Broadwater were the honorable mentions. Broadwater impressed in limited plate appearances, blasting her way to a .625 slugging percentage and a .375 batting average in only 48 at-bats.
After Reed rolled to a 19-1 record in league play, fellow coaches couldn't ignore that and voted Wunder Coach of the Year in his second season as head coach of the Raiders.
"It's one of those things where we went 19-1 in league. I think the other coaches are just congratulating you on a good season," Wunder said. "I honestly believe this when I say this, but I consider it a team award. I know they have to give it to me because I'm the head coach. But I had a great group of players and a great group of coaches. To me that's a team award that so happens to get my name attached to it."
•In the 3A, despite a bumpy season, Sparks received five all-league honors.
Freshman pitcher Jocelyn Vasquez led the way as a first-team honoree along with junior outfielder Riley Regas.
On the second team list, the Railroaders got junior outfielder Michelle Cardenas.
Rounding out the all-league awards were honorable mentions sophomore infielder Stephanie Miller and sophomore pitcher Madisyn Lock.

Colorado's largest gold discovery was the Cripple Creek district in 1893. This one district alone produced over 22 million ounces of gold. The Cripple Creek district contains the largest remaining gold mine in Colorado with an estimated annual production of 224,000 ounces in 2008.
Gold prospectors in the Leadville area kept finding an unknown dark mineral in their gold pans. This was later recognized as silver ore and lead to the development of the Leadville, Gilman, and Kokomo districts, which produced about 1.9 million tons of zinc, 1.3 million tons of lead, 333 million ounces of silver, and 3.6 million ounces of gold through 1998. The Black Cloud Mine was the last working mine in the district and it closed in 1999.
Molybdenum was discovered in the Climax area around Fremont Pass north of Leadville in 1879. The strange greasy metal had no known uses at the time of its discovery; however, by World War I, it had come to be used as an alloy for hardening steel for armaments. The Climax Mine continued to increase production through World War II and into the 1970s. The state of the art Henderson Mine in Clear Creek County opened in 1976. Both mines produced until a price crash occurred in the mid-1980s. The Climax Mine was placed in suspension in 1986, and only the Henderson Mine continues to produce molybdenum in Colorado. Climax bagan the prcess of re-opening in 2008, but the re-opening was suspended because the spot price of molybdenum fell from over $30 per pound to under $10 per pound in a matter of weeks.
Many uranium deposits were discovered in the southwestern portion of Colorado and in the Front Range during the 1950s. The most significant uranium mine was the Schwartzwalder Mine between Golden and Boulder. As recently as 1997 the mine produced about 500,000 pounds of uranium oxide. The mine was closed in 2000.
Colorado is famous for its aquamarine, rhodochrosite, beryl, and diamond gemstones. Diamonds were discovered in 1975. The Kelsey Lake Mine in Larimer County began commercial production in 1996 and quickly produced some outstanding gem quality diamonds-as large as 14 and 26 carats.
Sand and gravel, crushed stone, gypsum, limestone, clay, and other rock materials are important commodities that provide the basic infrastructure materials for Colorado's booming economy of the late 1990s and 2000s. Production of these commodities has increased steadily over the past decade. The Yule Marble quarry in central Colorado produces some of the finest white marble in the world. Marble from the Yule quarry was used for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and part of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Companies are using a solution-mining process to produce sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) from bedded nahcolite deposits in the Piceance Basin of northwest Colorado. The newest operator, American Soda LLC, plans to use an additional process to convert the sodium bicarbonate to sodium carbonate (more commonly known as soda ash—used primarily in the glass industry). American Soda plans to produce a million tons of soda ash in 2001, its first full year of operation.
Coal mining in Colorado began soon after the first settlers and miners arrived in the Front Range. The area around Boulder and Weld counties once had over 100 producing coal mines. Coal is still produced, primarily from open cut and underground mines in the northwest part of the state. Production in 2004 was over 40 million tons making Colorado number 6 out of 30 coal-producing states. However, in 2010 Colorado dropped to 11th in the nation.
