MOMENTS AFTER the Williams-Brice Stadium scoreboard game clock flipped to all zeroes, Dutch Fork coach Tom Knotts began looking to the future. His team's 34-22 Class 4A Division I championship loss to Gaffney was in the rearview mirror.
Knotts, heartbroken for the seniors who helped spearhead Dutch Fork's march to its first title-game appearance, was scouting the reaction to the loss by his team's sophomores and juniors.
"I'm kind of looking around to the underclassmen to see how they're reacting," Knotts said. "I see a few tears and I see some guys upset and I felt some intensity on the sideline in a lot of them."
Knotts has every reason to believe Saturday's game was only the beginning for Dutch Fork football.
"What we've been talking about is laying the foundation," Knotts said, "like what Gaffney's got."
What Gaffney has is a state record — for all classifications — 16 state championships. The title-game appearance was Gaffney's 14th since 1991. It represents the kind of run Knotts became accustomed to when he coached in North Carolina, where his teams at Charlotte Harding, West Charlotte and Charlotte Independence reached 11 title games and won eight over a 21-year period.
When he paraded around the Dutch Fork locker room minutes before kickoff, Knotts believed Saturday's would be the first in the same kind of run in South Carolina football.
Knotts flashed one of his Charlotte Independence championship rings to players.
"What a giant climb, what a great climb, seniors," Knotts shouted, knowing those seniors were with him his first two seasons at Dutch Fork when the Silver Foxes had matching 10-3 records. Then came the ascent to the title game with three consecutive playoff wins after an 8-3 regular season.
"Climbing to the top is the best part," Knotts said. "Let's go get it. Let's go get it."
Knotts then recounted how he had enlisted a guest speaker to address one of his Charlotte Independence championship teams before a title game. Knotts said he nearly fell out of his chair that day when the speaker mentioned that, no matter the game's outcome, the sun would rise the next morning.
"Hey, the sun ain't coming up tomorrow," Knotts told his team. "The sun is not coming up tomorrow, and this is what you're doing in your final hour. And that's fine. You put so much into this. You put so much into this. You've got to approach it like the sun is not going to come up tomorrow."
Dutch Fork might have had a there's-no-tomorrow approach, but it could not match Gaffney's today-is-the-day line of attack. Gaffney pounced on every one of Dutch Fork's numerous early mistakes, including an admitted coaching miscalculation by Knotts.
Knotts, whose team featured a punishing rushing attack in rolling up 41 points per game during the season, opted instead for the airways to disastrous first-quarter results. On its first four possessions, Dutch Fork ran the ball once for a loss of 1 yard. It attempted seven passes, completed two for 10 yards and threw two interceptions.
When Gaffney turned the second interception into a 25-yard touchdown drive and a 17-0 lead, the game's outcome was essentially decided. If not, then a two-play, 60-yard Gaffney touchdown drive at the end of the half — for a 24-7 lead — sealed it for sure.
Gaffney built its lead to 34-14 with six minutes remaining when Dutch Fork got possession at its 5-yard-line. The Silver Foxes covered 95 yards in 14 plays and consumed all but the game's final 21 seconds. Then they converted a two-point conversion.
"You're always scared that your team will quit on you at the end," Knotts said. "That's every coach's biggest fear is to have your team quit. I've had fear like everybody else. So, I was real proud of them for going in and stuffing it down their throat."
While the final touchdown helped soothe the wounds of the defeat somewhat, much hurt still remained as Knotts checked the reaction to the loss among his underclassmen and began looking ahead.
"Hopefully, in 15 or 20 years, we'll be the Gaffney of South Carolina," Knotts said. "The climb to the top is extremely hard, but it's been an enjoyable year. We're certainly not at the mountain top, but we're trying to get (with) the Byrneses and Gaffneys of the world."
And, he admitted, the sun would most assuredly come up this morning.

"When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love…" - Professor Slughorn1
I want to look at Snape to try and answer this question: Did Snape feel an attraction for Lily and what light might this shed on Snape's ultimate loyalties? Severus and Lily could have formed a friendship, or perhaps even more. If he did love Lily, he would desire revenge against James for taking her from him, and would stop at nothing to remove all human obstacles that stood between them, including the infant Harry. Before he passed the critical information of the prophecy to Lord Voldemort, Snape could have turned the situation to his own advantage, using it as an opportunity to remove James and have Lily. As we will see, Voldemort's murder of Lily could quite possibly have guaranteed Snape's ultimate choice of the Order over the Death Eaters.
Did Snape feel an attraction for Lily?
We know from Slughorn that both Lily and Snape excelled at potions, so, mudblood or not, Severus would undoubtedly hold much respect for her abilities and have something in common with her. As well as her potion's ability, Lily was a beautiful girl. Even Severus Snape would notice her beauty. We also know from Sirius that James and Lily only started dating in their seventh year. That leaves a two-year window between Snape's worst memory witnessed by Harry in the Pensieve, and James and Lily getting together. During this time Severus and Lily could have formed a friendship, or perhaps even more. Furthermore, JKR has already stated that James was not Lily's only admirer: "She was a popular girl." 2 Also, I believe I'm not the only one who thinks 'that awful boy' Petunia overheard telling Lily about the Dementors could be Severus Snape.3
Much is made of Lily's eyes, and Harry having Lily's eyes is significant to the Snape/Lily connection. As we have seen, Snape usually manages to control his temper with Sirius, one of his former tormentors, but he completely loses his cool when Harry calls him a coward, as Harry has made him do on many previous occasions: "his face was suddenly demented, inhuman, as though he was in as much pain as the yelping howling dog…" 4 I think Harry's eyes remind him of some past exchange with Lily: possibly a break up from a dating relationship or their friendship failed. Whichever was the case, Snape didn't need to actually be with her to fall in love with her. I would guess that Lily (and Harry's eyes are a living reminder of her) might have made Snape lose control of his emotions.
Snape's defining characteristics
Now Snape, as we know, does not go through life with his eyes closed. On the evidence of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, he is one of the most talented wizards and easily the most ice-cold and calculating character in the septology. For years has led a double life standing on the edge of a knife between the two most powerful wizards in the world. We know that he is closer and more vital to the Dark Lord than any other, his "favourite, his most trusted advisor." 5 Snape has two defining characteristics which make him the perfect double agent and enormously useful to both sides. The first is inscrutability as symbolized by his mastery of Occlumency.– So many times his reactions and feelings are unreadable and his thoughts unknowable. For example, "He looked slightly paler than usual, and his cold, black eyes glittered strangely" 6 or the famous twitch as he makes the unbreakable vow with Narcissa.
The second characteristic is sang-froid – cold blood. Snape, at all times, keeps a tight control over his emotions and plays situations expertly. His calm, needling provocation of Sirius into a state of rage in the kitchen of Grimmauld Place (while he himself remains calm) exemplifies this: "They were squaring up to each other, Sirius looking livid, Snape calculating, his eyes darting from Sirius's wand tip to his face." 7
We know that Snape is always thinking, always calculating, and as such is very likely to have thought through who might be the potential victims of Voldemort before he passed the critical information of the prophecy to him, and also how he could turn the situation to his own advantage, which seems always to be his primary motivation. Snape is loyal only to himself. Engineering a situation to his personal advantage is in keeping with his character.
I think it is likely that if Snape did love Lily, he would not only greatly desire revenge against James for taking her from him, but would also stop at nothing to remove all human obstacles that stood between them, including the infant Harry. Snape's love for Lily fed his hatred for James, and meant he would stop at nothing – even arranging the murder of her child – to possess Lily. Lily's life would be spared in return for Snape giving information of the prophesy to Lord Voldemort.
The Prophecy Connection
Snape first overheard the prophecy when under orders from Voldemort to infiltrate Dumbledore's inner circle, as he tells Bellatrix: ". . . you know, I presume, that it was on the Dark Lord's orders that I took up the post?" 8 It is possible that Snape knew what the prophecy meant and whom it would affect, and that he formed a plan to turn it to his own advantage. Snape used the prophecy information 'unexpectedly' pointing Voldemort to the Potters.
Snape acting as a double agent for Dumbledore could be a reason the Potters were forewarned that they were marked for death (unless Dumbledore had a second mole within the Death Eaters, which I think unlikely). Snape - even then right in Voldemort's inner circle - must have known that Wormtail was a fellow Death Eater and a traitor to the Order. He therefore knew that Wormtail would use his 'friendship' with James to lead Voldemort to the Potters' hiding place, if given the opportunity. As we know, this happened when Sirius, unfortunately, made Wormtail their secret keeper as a double bluff.
The upshot of this is that due to his knowledge of Wormtail's treachery, Snape knew that James and Harry Potter would be attacked and almost certainly killed, whether they had prior warning of Voldemort's intentions or not. But by providing his apparently life saving warning, he managed to induct himself straight into the Order. Snape therefore used the prophecy information to please both Voldemort and Dumbledore. However, Snape was ultimately hoping to achieve his own endgame of killing James and Harry, thus achieving revenge against James, but most importantly, leaving the way clear to rekindle his relationship with Lily. Snape's obsessive love for Lily fed his equally obsessive hatred for James, and meant he would stop at nothing – even arranging the murder of her child – to possess Lily.
Voldemort tried to spare Lily, and may have agreed with Snape, before the attack took place, to let her live. Rowling has confirmed that Voldemort would have let Lily live.9 Lily's James/Harry free life was to be Snape's reward for good service, and Lord Voldemort always rewards his loyal followers, doesn't he?
Dumbledore's Trust
We know Dumbledore was aware of the enmity between James and Snape, as he tells Harry "they did rather detest each other. Not unlike yourself and Mr. Malfoy." 10 Dumbledore would know that James's death would not cause Snape too many sleepless nights, and apparent remorse over marking James for death would be a big leap of faith to induct a Death Eater straight into the Order. Snape must have offered Dumbledore some other, more realistic proof of his remorse, and that could have been real feelings – love - for Lily.
I think that Snape may have been present at Godric's Hollow on the night of the attack, waiting for the smoke to clear, and the chance to move in and comfort Lily. When his plan backfired and Lily died, Snape's grief in the aftermath of her death would have been deep. And this deep true grief would be proof for Dumbledore that he wanted out of the Death Eaters. Dumbledore's trust would only have solidified when he witnessed Snape's emotional state. As Dumbledore tells Harry "You have no idea of the remorse Professor Snape felt when he realized how Lord Voldemort had interpreted the prophecy." 11
And Finally
Regardless of Snape's involvement in the murder plot and continuing status as a Death Eater, Voldemort's murder of Lily was the one thing I doubt Snape could forgive. It is quite possible that by doing so Lord Voldemort has guaranteed Snape's ultimate choice will be the Order over the Death Eaters, not out of loyalty to Dumbledore, but again because of Snape's own motivation: his desire for revenge against the Dark Lord. Rather than loyalty to the Order, I think that this desire for revenge against Voldemort for the death of Lily is the "iron clad reason for trusting Snape." 12 That meant Dumbledore felt secure enough to place total faith in him.
Snape's choice will be the key to the series because he has made himself the key member of both the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, indispensable to both sides to the point where the fate of the war may rest on his ultimate choice. Voldemort's life began with the obsessive love of Merope Gaunt for Tom Riddle senior; it would be fitting if the obsessive love of Snape for Lily were a major factor in finally ending it. It is an uncomfortable thought, however, that the fate of the wizarding world may hang on the choices of a hugely talented but virtually amoral and completely self-centred man, in many ways, if my theory of his use of the prophecy is correct, he is the ultimate Slytherin; he truly embodies the sorting hat's observation that those cunning folk use any means/to achieve their ends.13

In 2079, worldwide drought and nuclear plant meltdowns have diminished the earth's water supply by 88 per cent. The only hope for survival is to send war criminal Grant Clarke to Jupiter's distant moon, Europa. Clarke must obtain a sulphur-based bacteria and get it back to earth in time to decontaminate the nuclear waste and save the world's water supply.
That's the plot of Europa, a 17 minute thesis film directed by David Gidali and produced by Avi Quijada for the American Film Institute (AFI). Post production of the AFI student film was completed in December 2011 and we can't wait for its release.
We are also still eagerly awaiting the release of another sci-fi water film, Shekhar Kapur's Paani. Elizabeth director Kapur announced the plans for his big budget film (the cost has apparently increased from US$ 30 million to US$ 50 million) at Cannes in 2010, but so far there is no confirmation that filming has actually started.

This straightforward and inspiring book takes readers into schools where educators believe—and prove—that all children, even those considered "hard-to-teach," can learn to high standards.
Every American must read this book. It demonstrates unequivocally that an unyielding belief in the ability of all children—regardless of background—to excel at the highest levels combined with a relentless commitment to excellent instruction can radically transform public education in this nation. If every school in America adopted the lessons of 'It's Being Done,' then the achievement gap—in my view, the greatest injustice facing our nation—would be relegated to the history books. — Jason Kamras, 2005 National Teacher of the Year
Can a good school enable disadvantaged children to catch up? Some say, 'No, we must change society first.' This scrupulous and humane book shows that a good school can make a decisive difference in giving every child a chance to achieve the American Dream. Karin Chenoweth is to be warmly thanked for showing in detail how some schools and their devoted staffs have refuted the idea that demography is fate. — E. D. Hirsch, Jr., Professor Emeritus, University of Virginia
"'It's Being Done' is a refreshingly honest and thoughtful analysis of American K-12 education. It comes at a time when so many people are asking if it is possible not to leave children behind, especially children who are poor and of color. Chenoweth's research carefully documents important examples of academic achievement among these children in a variety of challenging circumstances. She identifies the many characteristics of successful schools, including setting high expectations for students, data-driven instruction, the wise use of school time, ongoing professional development of teachers, and comprehensive leadership teams made up of principals, teachers, parents, and community members. 'It's Being Done' will contribute significantly to the national conversation on the education of our children. Perhaps more important, it will give us reason to hope. — Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, President, University of Maryland, Baltimore County

I'm a Farve Fan, remember the first game I ever saw him play. He was awesome against FSU, the Noles were ranked #1 in the nation, it was their first game playing Southern Miss. Farve picked them apart with his quick release and throwing darts to his receivers. Man did he fit in a lot of passes and get rid of the ball early before the FSU rush could get to him.
Being an old Gator fan I was screaming at the TV, rooting for the upset. It happened and I knew I was watching someone very special. What a football player...
His return each season is almost Epic, it's show Brett the love Day...
It's - The day the Earth Stood Still...
Same thing happened last year... The 17th or 18th of August will be named the Brett Favre Day!
On this new National Holiday, indecision is the command....
restaurants will develop long lines because people will take hours to make their minds up over the menu
hospital emergency rooms will overfill because the doctors won't be able to make their minds up as too what tests and x-rays to order for their patients
construction, auto repair, fast foods, stores across the country will close due to indecision and waste, well they'll think about closing...
maybe you'll get paid for this holiday, your boss will have to figure this one out the day after of course....

For the first time, I think there was an actual decision for Favre to make in regards to playing this year...his ankle is still being bothersome, and he may not be 100% when the season starts.
That said, did anyone really think he wouldn't play this year?
- 15 starts get him to 300 for his career -- which has never been done -- Bruce Matthews is the NFL's all-time leader in career starts with 292.
- 671 passing yards this season get him to 70,000 for his career.
- Three touchdowns get him to 500 for his career.
Plus, Favre is a guy who cares about his legacy and his records. He wants to go out a winner, and every year he plays tacks on another year that Peyton will have to play to top Favre in any number of career statistical categories. I think Manning can go to 40 if he wants. His body has held up fairly well over the years, and, like Favre, I really can't imagine him doing anything else. Just my two cents...

There was only one fighter who failed to make weight yesterday at the UFC 159 weigh-ins; welterweight Nick Catone weighed in at 173 lbs and did not re-weigh, thereby losing 20% of his purse. Today it's been confirmed that his fight with James Head is now off, and Catone is currently in the hospital for dehydration. Damon Martin of Bleacher Report tweeted the news earlier this morning:
Nick Catone had to go the hospital with dehydration. His fight with James Head has been cancelled for tonight's #UFC159 card.
— Damon Martin (@DamonMartin) April 27, 2013
James Head will receive his show money, but unfortunately for him he will not get to fight this evening.
Catone/Head was slated for the Facebook prelims, so that means UFC 159 soldiers on with 11 fights in total, and presumably this means the start of the card will be pushed from 6:30 PM ET to roughly 7 PM ET.
