The female equivalent to a male hard on. The woman's vagina swells up until it resembles a tazered, twitching piece of liver, and the man can enjoy a snug, responsive ride, much like a European Sports car that looks like the organ of a cow.
In due time, she had achieved a wide on. Fortunately Bert was finished before his ass cheeks collapsed.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A female equivalent to a hard-on. When experiencing intense erotic excitement, a lady's vaginal cavity expands to allow entry of penis/fist/vegetable etc. This causes a 'gap' that needs to be filled: a wide on. It is arguable that gay men can also experience an 'anal wide-on', which of course suggests that certain women could experience a 'double wide-on'.

T he search is on. And we all need to help.
Because York County could be the home of the eventual winner of an award honoring senior citizens who volunteer their time and energy to the community.
That one special person out of hundreds of special people who volunteer in this county.
I love these kinds of things, and since I was asked to help spread the word, I figured I'd do my best.
There could be, after all, a York countian with all the necessary qualifications to be chosen the most outstanding senior service volunteer in the state ... maybe even the country.
And if there is, we need to help find him or her.
Given the long history of volunteerism York countians are known for, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find the winner in York.
And that is the whole idea, said Kristin Danley-Greiner, a spokeswoman for Home Instead Senior Care, the sponsor for the Salute to Senior Service program.
The Salute to Senior Service program intends to honor "the contributions of adults 65 years of age and older who give at least 15 hours a month of volunteer service to their favorite causes," Danley-Greiner said.
That works out to about one morning or one afternoon a week. Lots of local volunteers give that much time or more. Some, a lot more.
Danley-Greiner added that nominations for outstanding senior volunteers "will be accepted between Feb. 1 and March 31." And the nominations can be made online at SalutetoSeniorService.com. Voting will take place between April 15 and April 30 on the same site.
"We are encouraging friends, co-workers, family members and nonprofit organizations to nominate deserving seniors for possible state and national honors," Danley-Greiner said.
Hey, I'm thinking this is a contest that can and should be won by a York countian.
The winner in each state will receive $500, and the national winner will be awarded $5,000 to be donated to the winner's charity or charities of choice, she said.
And it's a wide-open field -- it's a chance, Danley-Greiner said, "to honor seniors who donate their time and talents to local schools, hospitals and other community organizations."
That includes those who might volunteer in a nursing home, the YWCA or YMCA, Scouts, senior centers, after-school programs for kids, food kitchens and coaches in youth athletic programs. The sky's the limit.
Just in case anyone out there was thinking about nominating me for the more than 15 hours a month I spend working in my own backyard, forget it. That doesn't count. It might count if someone else were volunteering to work in my backyard, but that hasn't happened so you'll have to look somewhere else for your volunteer candidate.
Here in York County, there are viable candidates behind almost every door. You won't have to look terribly hard to find a volunteer that impresses you.
"We all know seniors who do so much for our community," said Laurie Hamilton, owner of a Home Instead Senior Care office serving York County. "These silent heroes give selflessly, expecting nothing in return. And yet their contributions often make a difference not only to the organizations they serve, but in changing how the public views growing older."
Home Instead doesn't use volunteers, but it certainly recognizes the value of senior volunteers in a variety of community settings.
And so should we all.
It'd be a feather in our cap if the top senior citizen volunteer in this state and country came from right here in York County.
So the search is on.
I'm looking.
You should look, too.

Jason Bateman and Ron Howard presented producer pal Brian Grazer with the Abe Burrows Entertainment Award at the Alzheimer's Association's "A Night at Sardi's" event - and I was there to land some scoop on Arrested Development's new season. The fresh episodes, which will be released by Netflix in May, pick up right where the show left off on Fox in 2006, executive producer Howard says.
"One of the very last lines in the show was when [I say in voice-over], 'I don't think [Arrested Development] is a TV show; maybe it's a movie,'" he says. "So in the new season, we create a heightened version of Imagine Entertainment," Howard and Grazer's production company.
"We talk about what could be our new Da Vinci Code," Grazer says, referencing the movie the duo produced in 2006. And according to Bateman, who plays Michael Bluth, "in one episode, I get stuck in an elevator with Ron and Brian." But it's not your typical close-quarters scenario. Howard says, "It has a lot to do with our inflated egos."

I know it happens and I know he has to grow up but some things are just hard on a Momma.
He's my baby.
I know you parents know what I'm talking about. You love watching your kids blossom into the people they are supposed to
be while inside a piece of you just cries out to keep them little forever.
And of course, I came home and started flipping through old pictures and I came across this one (at the top left). Do y'all remember me telling you about Alex's first table food being cheesecake? Well, here's the proof. I had forgotten that we had taken a picture of it!
|And here's my little builder now at 5 yrs old.
I use it for so many things - from breads to cinnamon roll dough.
I'm not expecting you to go out and buy a kitchen gadget just to make good bread.
You can do this by hand too.
I am a believer that sometimes the most simple and rustic of ingredients almost always produce a better food.
1 1/4 cups very warm water
3 ½ cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 package of active dry yeast
(mine requires that I put wet ingredients in first - then dry).
Start machine on dough setting. Quick tip: I usually take a peak at my dough in the first 10 minutes or so to make sure all the flour is getting incorporated into the dough. Sometimes I just need to scrape down the sides a bit. After that, I leave it alone.
When dough cycle is complete (usually about an hour to an hour and a half), remove dough and place on floured surface.
Bake loaves for 15-20 minutes until golden brown, turning the pan around once halfway during baking.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Allen Crabbe, the reigning Pac-12 Player of the Year who left Cal after his junior season to enter the NBA, is sitting on the bench for the first time since ... well, the first time.
Crabbe, a second-round pick acquired by the Portland Trail Blazers last summer in a draft-day deal, has played in only one of the team's past 12 games.
"It can be a humbling experience sometimes," Crabbe said Friday after practice. "It definitely is frustrating as a competitor, I'm not going to lie. It's a new adjustment for me, a process I have to go through and something I have to stay positive about."
Until now, Crabbe had been a starter for every team he played on since his freshman year in high school on the varsity squad.
It's a hard swallow, but Crabbe said he's getting plenty of support from family and friends, encouraging him to be patient.
"There are thousands of basketball players who want to be here," he said. "If I have an attitude because I'm not playing, I could be gone."
Blazers coach Terry Stotts understands Crabbe's frustration and appreciates that the 6-foot-6 shooting guard has not given in to it.
"I do know that he continues to impress," Stotts said. "He improved from summer league to training camp. He had a very good training camp."
And then, just as he had a chance to compete for playing time, Crabbe got sick and missed a week. He slipped out of the rotation and hasn't found a place in a deep backcourt.
"He's handling it well," Stotts said. "He stays engaged, he's working hard."
Stotts tells the story of one-time Ohio State star Michael Redd, who played a total of 35 minutes in six games as an NBA rookie. Three years later he was an All-Star for the Milwaukee Bucks and in 2008 played for the U.S. Olympic team.
"I think he's a very good player," Stotts said of Crabbe, who is averaging 2.8 points in the eight games he's played. "I'm very confident he's going to have a good career."
Crabbe said he has no regrets about his decision to leave college early and stressed it had nothing to do with the much-publicized sideline shove he got from coach Mike Montgomery on Feb. 17 during a game against USC.
"Everybody tries to act like our relationship wasn't good, just because of that one incident we had," said Crabbe, who remains satisfied with his decision to attend Cal. "I feel like me and Coach had a solid relationship."
He noted that he improved each year at Cal under Montgomery, and expects that to continue.
"I just feel like my path is never going to change -- I'm going to keep getting better," he said. "That's my job now, to get better and work on my craft. I have a lot more time to just eat, sleep basketball now."

It's a matter of simple mathematics: 1.3 billion > 300 million. Forget earning power, forget marketing, forget the rest. There are 1.3 billion people in China, and 300 million people here. That means they need a whole lot more sneakers.
What do you know about China and sneakers? The average sneakerhead has no doubt noticed the highly coveted annual LeBron China exclusives and the "Year of the..." Air Forces and Air Jordans. The average NBA fan no doubt noticed Reebok signing Yao Ming, and the proliferation of seemingly new brands — Peak, Anta, Li-Ning — on the feet of journeymen, rookies, and aging stars alike. The slightly more advanced sneakerhead or NBA fan may have sought out some of these shoes, only finding them on the web. The logical conclusion may be that these are small, upstart brands, trying to challenge the global leaders. The logical conclusion—in this case, anyway—is wrong.
When you have 1.3 billion potential consumers at home, it doesn't matter whether you can reach 300 million more people on a different continent. There's a reason Li-Ning and Peak have roughly 7,000 stand-alone stores each in China, and barely any market presence in the U.S. of A.. But here's the thing: The mathematics work both ways. Those 1.3 billion potential customers haven't escaped the notice of the big fish in the U.S., hence the China tours and China exclusives (and Hypebeast's very recently launched China edition). And China's sneakerhead counterparts see what we see, read what we read. Some are no doubt reading this. And let's be honest — no matter where you're from, would you rather emulate LeBron James or Shane Battier?
Which brings us to Li-Ning's signing of Dwyane Wade. As you have no doubt heard by now, when Wade's Jordan contract expired at the end of September, Li-Ning was waiting, pen in hand. Former
When you have 1.3 billion potential consumers at home, it doesn't matter whether you can reach 300 million more people on a different continent.
gymnast Li Ning's eponymous brand had already made forays into the NBA, signing former All-Star guard Baron Davis and 2010 No. 2 overall pick Evan Turner. Davis had been a star, and the hope was that Turner would one day become one. But Wade is something else—a superstar in his prime, coming off his second NBA title and his eighth All-Star appearance. This could be, if you'll pardon the phrase, a game-changer.
"The U.S. does half the world's business in athletic footwear," says Matt Powell of performance sports retailer Sports One. "Then Europe does another third. China is going to be the second biggest market after the U.S. very shortly if it isn't already, but it's still dramatically smaller than the U.S. On the flip though, they have four times the people we do, so as the economy continues to improve there, at some point China could be the biggest marketplace. But not in my lifetime."

SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers' already thin wide receiving corps got even thinner Friday with the loss of rookie Quinton Patton, who suffered a foot fracture in the team's 35-11 victory over the St. Louis Rams.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Patton, the club's fourth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech, would "miss some time" after fracturing a metatarsal bone but expects him to return later this season.
The injury occurred in a game in which Patton received his most extensive playing time to date, although he caught only one pass for zero yards Thursday night. It was his first NFL reception.
Patton's injury further muddles the No. 2 receiving spot behind Anquan Boldin, who had five catches for 90 yards including a touchdown against the Rams. Jonathan Baldwin's two catches for 19 yards were the only other receptions by a wide receiver.
Harbaugh didn't sound discouraged about it, however, when asked who might be the emerging No. 2.
"Everybody's got that license," he said. "I feel like it all means so much to them -- Kyle Williams, Quinton Patton, Jonathan Baldwin, Marlon Moore, Kassim Osgood."
Harbaugh singled out Baldwin, noting, "He made a couple of tough catches, he handled it, and there'll be more action for him."
Staley received extensive attention while down on the field but ultimately walked off the field under his own power.
"We'll see in the next couple of days, but it appears he was able to walk that off," the coach said.
"I actually backed off a little bit," Whitner said. "It could've been a little worse than what it was if I went full speed and actually launched myself into the guy. I don't know what I was supposed to do in that situation. I think I'm just supposed to let them catch a touchdown now. I think that's what the National Football League wants, but I'm not going to give them that."
Whitner said he'd appeal if fined by the NFL over the hit.
"I was just trying to get three points," he said.
Harbaugh said he used the clock and his timeouts to try to get the most advantageous setup for Dawson after the 49ers received a Rams punt with four seconds left.
"It would have been better if the ball had been closer to midfield, but Phil gave it a good run," he said. "Had that been a little bit more on line, maybe it would have had a shot.'"
"Energy is energy," he said. "There is positive energy, there's negative energy, and sometimes a person can get more from negative energy. Sometimes that can be a gift. Thank you very much. As long as all that's written is said against us, you feel a certain assurance of success. If people are heaping flowery words of praise upon you, then you feel more exposed before your enemies."
Did Harbaugh use that tactic as a player or coach?
"No, I was quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson there," he said. "I prefer (negative energy), but I really just try to concentrate on coaching the team. I have a big enough job as it is."
"Vernon is just a special creation," Harbaugh said. "He has different kind of blood flowing through him than you or I do, I'm sure. He'd never been sidelined for a game and had a (pull) in his hamstring. And then all of a sudden, he healed back together."
The coach wasn't sure if Davis was completely healthy.
"I don't know if it was 100 percent, but it was darn good," he said.

Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson isn't much of a talker, especially not to the media. He's a nice guy who will give an interview if you ask him in person. But he's not volunteering to be anybody's spokesperson.
Which is why when I texted him to ask for an interview, and he immediately responded in the affirmative, I knew he was feeling good.
"I'm ecstatic."
Why? Because he fulfilled one of his goals of playing for Team USA. After winning gold with the under-19 squad at the 2009 FIBA World Championships, Thompson set out to play with the men's national team. And last night he learned he was one of the 12 players selected to represent their country in the FIBA World Championships in Spain, which start Aug. 30.
All-Star guards Damian Lillard and John Wall didn't make the team. But Thompson did. Along with his Warriors Splash Brother, Stephen Curry. That's a big deal.
"This is crazy," said Thompson, who was taking a break from packing and on his way to lunch in New York City. "In my mind, I was going to make it no matter what. For what I can bring -- the ability to spread the court and guard 1 through 4 in international basketball, and I've practiced on getting into the lane a lot -- I was expecting to make it. I thought our first game in Brazil, I was a little rusty. But the last couple games, I think I played really well."
There is another reason. Today, the Warriors' decision not to trade Thompson in pursuit of Kevin Love became official.
Love will be traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers today. No, the Warriors didn't choose Thompson over Love. They chose Thompson, Curry and Lee over Love and the contract of Kevin Martin. They chose chemistry and well-roundedness over the potential that comes with Love's superstar talent.
"I'm happy. It makes me feel great," Thompson said. "The Warriors believe in me. That makes me want to work that much harder. They believe in me and Steph, they believe in the team we have. I believe in us, too. I think we have all the ingredients to win a championship."
A championship? With this roster?
"Absolutely," he said. "I think a lot of it hinges on our health. Our ability to improve our offense. Me and Curry have another year together. Another year with Andre Iguodala. Another year under the belt for Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green. We know what we're going to get from David Lee consistently. Andrew Bogut's coming in healthy. If Festus (Ezeli) comes back and plays like he did his rookie year, that's huge. We'd have another big body and we need that, especially in the West. It's going to be a grind."
Thompson said the rumors of being traded didn't bother him too much. But it was clear he was relieved. He said he knew the possibility was there and that Love was an enticing piece. Part of him even started mentally preparing for Minnesota. But he was in contact with new head coach Steve Kerr.
"He said he wanted to coach me. I took that as a good sign," Thompson said. "I've been in rumors before. It didn't really bother me that much. If it did go down, I would have been disappointed. It was more like a feeling of 'I hope they don't trade me.' But I wouldn't have been mad at them. I understand it's a business. We get paid to pack our bags and go do work."
Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski has gotten to see firsthand a big reason Kerr and the Warriors don't want to lose Thompson. Coach K used Thompson to harass opposing point guards much the way Mark Jackson did as Warriors coach. And Thompson's teammates are finding him for open 3s on the other end. He's grown into a pivotal weapon for Team USA.
Of course, being a productive player for Team USA, being the primary reason the Warriors didn't acquire Love, Thompson will have a much higher profile entering this season.
"I always thought people already do know who I am," Thompson said with a laugh. "I want to be great. That comes with pressure. It comes with eyes on you. In year four, I'm looking to take a huge leap like I did last year."
Thompson plans to make his mark as one who gets it done on both ends.
"Absolutely. One of the best ever, Michael Jordan, was one of the greatest defenders ever," He said. "I'm not saying I am Michael Jordan. But if you want to be a championship player, you have to play both ends. We've got some great players in this league who are two-way players. Kobe Bryant. LeBron. Paul George. Kawhi Leonard. I'd love to be known as a guy who gets you 20 points and locks down the best offensive player."
Thompson said he isn't worried that playing for Team USA will leave him tired for the long season the Warriors are expecting. He's a heavy-minutes guy with a big task. Conventional wisdom says he will need rest to prepare for the grueling task of chasing point guards and being a key cog to the offense.
The way he sees it, this experience will help him.
"I'm 24. I'm young. I shouldn't be tired," Thompson said. "I'm not playing 40 minutes. I'm playing 15 minutes, 20 minutes. It's even better than working out at home. I would never get this competition working at home. And it's a different style of basketball so I'll be learning some things I can add to my game. I'll be in great shape when I come into camp and be ready to go.
"I played at 220 last year," he added. "That was too heavy. I cut down to 215. I can feel the difference already. I have more energy. I've got to be in optimal shape. I've got to be able to move really fluidly on both sides of the ball. It's a tall task. Man, I'm young. If I take care of my body and eat right, I'll be able to do it. I did it last year, so I'm sure I can do it this year."

Minimal damage reported as storms pass through
Tornado reportedly touched down in Pickens County
Published: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 10:21 p.m.
No injuries and little damage were reported Thursday in Alabama as storms moved east from Mississippi, where a tornado killed one person in Kemper County, Miss.
The tornado hit eastern Mississippi on Thursday afternoon, killing at least one person and causing widespread damage, officials told The Associated Press.
It moved east into West Alabama and caused damage in Pickens and Fayette counties but passed Tuscaloosa County without causing significant damage.
"I just have one report of a 10-inch tree limb resting on the roof of a house on Ridge Avenue in Holt," David Hartin, Tuscaloosa County Emergency Management Agency director, said at 4:30 p.m. "That is the only thing I've gotten so far."
Wind gusts at different parts of Tuscaloosa and Northport were measured at about 30 miles per hour and a steady rain moved in.
The National Weather Service used weather radar to confirm that a tornado touched down in northern Pickens County. Alabama state troopers confirmed damage to one house and possibly a second house in the area of Pickens County Road 75, and reported several trees down in the area. Trees and power lines were down along Pine Grove Road near the Pine Grove community.
In Fayette, a tree and a pole were blown down on Seventh Street Southeast and a tree fell on a house on County Road 53 North near Glen Allen, according to the National Weather Service.
Area schools and the University of Alabama canceled classes and after-school activities because of the severe weather threat.
Dry weather is expected today and through the weekend.

DENVER -- For Todd McLellan, it wasn't really about the impressive 49 shots his team fired at Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov or the 25 others that were blocked.
After the Sharks suffered a blow to their Pacific Division title hopes with a 3-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday afternoon, the head coach was more focused on what happened in the defensive zone -- two soft goals that ultimately helped knock the Sharks out of first place when the Anaheim Ducks beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-1 on Saturday night.
"Right off the bat, we're not engaged, we're not ready to play," McLellan said. "If you can take those two moments out of the game, we don't need to get to three. Those were very preventable situations for us, things that we should be able to handle."
Colorado's win clinched its playoff appearance, but both teams were in essentially the same spot when the game started -- each knowing they were headed to the postseason, but working hard to secure home ice advantage as the Avalanche are neck-and-neck with the Chicago Blackhawks in the Central Division.
But even after watching star center Matt Duchene leave the game on his first shift with a knee injury after colliding with linemate Jamie McGinn, the Avalanche was able to jump out to an early lead at 1:33 of the first period when Paul Stastny skated away from Joe Pavelski for a quick wrist shot that backup goalie Alex Stalock let get past him on the short side.
"It snuck in," Stalock said. "That's one I have to have. It sucked that it was early and they got the lead early. Really, they didn't spend very much time in the zone. It's definitely one I'd like to have back, that's for sure."
The Sharks got that one back 94 seconds later when Pavelski took a feed from Joe Thornton and scored his team-leading 38th goal of the season on a power play.
What happened the next time the Sharks had a man advantage in the first period was more painful for San Jose as Dan Boyle wasn't able to control the puck at his blue line, and Cody McLeod skated in all alone to beat Stalock on a short-handed breakaway at 10:34 to regain the lead for the Avalanche.
"I took my eye off the puck for a fraction of a second to make sure I wasn't going to get drilled," Boyle said. "I just got a piece of it and missed it. It's an unfortunate bounce. These things happen. It's unfortunate."
Colorado jumped out to a 3-1 lead at 6:32 of the second period with a power play goal when a shot by McGinn bounced off the end boards right to John Mitchell and he found the back of the net before Stalock could cover the open side of the net.
San Jose had been applying pressure throughout the second period and it finally paid of at 8:35 when James Sheppard found Boyle pinching into the right faceoff circle for a shot that beat Varlamov to make it 3-2, but none of the 22 shots on net that followed -- the same number Colorado had for the entire game -- could get past the Avalanche netminder.
The Sharks now have six games left on the schedule -- two fewer Anaheim. Not only does a first-place finish guarantee home ice advantage the first two rounds of the playoffs, it also means a first-round opponent other than the Los Angeles Kings.
"We all know what we're playing for. We want that home ice as much as anybody around the league," Pavelski said. "We're going to play our best and try to get our game to where we need it to be and then go from there. We've got to stay the course. You throw up 50 shots you did a few things good."
While the Sharks could feel good about their overall effort, they weren't overlooking the hole they put themselves in.
"At the end of the day," Boyle said, "it's about two points, and we didn't get it."

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball team will start another road trip this Thursday, taking on Houston – Victoria at 5:30 in Riverside Stadium before beginning a three-game series against Sam Houston State on Friday night in the first Southland Conference series of the season. The four games will mark 10-of-11 games on the road for the team after starting the year with first 13 in Corpus Christi.
The Islanders (11-9) have faced UHV (9-16) five times in the last three years, winning all five, but having several close calls in the series. The Islanders won twice last season, winning by one run (3-2) in the first game, and picking up a two-run margin of victory (10-8) in the second game.
The offense for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi has been getting big contributions from several individuals, with Eric Weiss picking up five RBI, including the eventual game-winning grand slam, against Harvard this past Monday. Jonathan Gonzales had a 6-for-6 night with eight RBI in the series-opening win over Texas State last weekend.
Weiss is leading the team with a .351 average on the year, and he is second on the team with 17 RBI. Gonzales leads the team with 19 RBI this season, and is third in batting average at .338 through 20 games. Zach Taylor is second on the team at .345, while Jordan Lee is hitting .318 and Kyle Danford sits at .317 to round out the Islanders above the .300 this season.
Tyler Schnuriger will get the start for the Islanders. He is 0-2 with a 9.53 ERA on the year, taking losses against Texas – Pan American and UTSA during the 2013 campaign. He will look to bounce back in a starters role after coming out of the bullpen the past three appearances. His best outing of the year came against Dallas Baptist, with the sophomore coming on in relief and pitching 4.1 innings while giving up just one runs on six hits as he struck out four batters.
UHV is coming into the contest one a four-game winning streak, sweeping a series over Fisher College last weekend.
They are led in hitting by Joshua Boothe and Chad Kruse, who both sport a .347 batting average, while Brandon Bohanon follows closely with a .333 average and Dylan Blaha is at .326 on the season. The Jaguars have not yet named a starter for the game.
Live stats will be available for the game through www.GoIslanders.com.

Wolcott ends drought vs. Crusaders, keeps No. 1 seed in Class M
WATERBURY — Some nifty things come in dozens. Eggs. Doughnuts. Who doesn't like an omelet capped off with a glazed doughnut?
The Wolcott High football team could almost see the No. 12 flashing in front of its eyes Thursday, as in 12 straight losses to Holy Cross. Thanks to an outstanding throw and catch, the Eagles' nightmare is finished, but it came with a serious bout of cold sweats.
Matt Cyr made an incredible leaping catch of a Mike Nicol pass in the end zone with 2:43 to play, giving the Eagles a 21-14 victory against the Crusaders before a packed house at Municipal Stadium. The Eagles held onto the No. 1 seed for the Class M playoffs and will host Montville in the first round.
The seeding position, however, was less important than ending a losing streak against Holy Cross that had reached 11 years.
"Breaking the losing streak," Cyr said when asked which was more important, beating Holy Cross or holding onto the top seed. "I was 6 years old the last time we beat Holy Cross. I don't even remember it."
Cyr will likely remember the catch for the rest of his life.
Trailing 14-13 and in the midst of an offensively rough second half, Wolcott went 67 yards in just more than two minutes for the winning score. Nicol completed four passes for 64 yards on the drive, with Cyr coming up with the two biggest catches of the day.
His 29-yard grab on third-and-5 kept the drive alive. His 12-yard, jump-ball catch over Holy Cross defensive back Joe Caputo, who played the ball perfectly, sent the Wolcott faithful into happy histrionics.
"I told Matt before we left the huddle, 'Go up and get this ball,' and he got it," said Nicol, who passed for 132 yards and ran for 103 more. "It was an amazing jump ball. We saw we had the height advantage over there. We were looking for some momentum and we got it on that play."
It was the only momentum the Eagles (9-1) had in the second half after dominating the first two quarters. Wolcott took a 13-0 lead into halftime and had outgained the Crusaders (7-3) by almost 150 yards.
Behind its big offensive line, Holy Cross took control of the second half and didn't let go of it until late. The Crusaders turned Dave Morrone's interception of Nicol into an 8-yard, fourth-down touchdown run by Mike Chiovitti in the third quarter. Early in the fourth quarter, Holy Cross blocked a Wolcott punt and turned that into a 6-yard scoring run by quarterback Kristian Harmeling.
Seemingly out of nowhere, the Crusaders owned a 14-13 lead and came within five minutes of extending the winning streak to a dozen. But even while reeling, Wolcott was able to answer.
"We fought," Holy Cross coach Mike Giampetruzzi said. "We played hard, and that's what I asked them to do at the half. Don't quit, play four quarters of football. We did that.
"(Wolcott) is a good team and it shows. Good teams make good plays and they did that at the end. Good ball, good catch."
Holy Cross took possession with 2:36 to play with a chance. It converted a fourth-down play to get near midfield, but another fourth-down pass fell incomplete.
Wolcott's nightmare was over. Now it's time to move on to the dream of playing for a state title.
"Our goal was to go 9-1 and we did that," Eagles coach Jason Pace said. "We were able to keep that No. 1 seed. We're going to enjoy this today and start preparing for whoever it may be first thing (this) morning."

SAN FRANCISCO -- Just about every night is now a special event night at AT&T Park.
Tuesday was Jerry Garcia Tribute Night. This Friday is the second Filipino Heritage Night of the season, and Saturday is Fellowship Day. Later this month, the Giants will hold Bruce Lee Tribute Night, and in September they will welcome video gamers, social media mavens and yogis, among others.
There's only one thing missing from the ongoing party at Third and King: victory. The Giants have lost 22 of 30 home games since June 9.
The skid is astounding for a team that has finished with a losing record just three times in 14 seasons since moving to its waterfront home and at times has been almost unbeatable there. In four of those seasons, the Giants have won at least 50 of their 81 games at home, and they went a combined 97-65 there during the regular seasons of their two championship runs.
Even after Wednesday's rousing and controversial win over the Chicago White Sox, the Giants sit at 30-31 at AT&T Park, which has been sold out every night. They are 33-26 on the road, outscoring opponents by 32 runs. At home, the Giants have been outscored by four runs.
The streak has led to many a late night for manager Bruce Bochy and general manager Brian Sabean, both of whom live within walking distance of the ballpark. They stay in the manager's office deep into the night, trying to find a fix. Bochy said the brainstorming session after Tuesday's 3-2 loss was one of the longest yet.
"That was a tough one," he said slowly, a tired look on his face.
The problems have even led the manager to break out one of his favorite axioms. "This shouldn't happen," he said after the Giants were shut out at home one night last month. "It's got me buffaloed."
The Giants have spent two months trying to figure out what's going wrong at home. A deep dive inside the numbers shows there's no magic bullet. But if you ask around the clubhouse, the first issue that pops up is a lack of power.
The Giants hit 25 homers while going 22-9 at home through a sweep of the New York Mets on June 8. Then the Washington Nationals came into town, taking three of four and starting the tailspin. Since June 9 -- the start of that Nationals series and this skid -- the Giants have just 13 homers in 30 home games.
"I wasn't sure if we could sustain (the early pace) for the entire season, but we expect it to be a little better," hitting coach Hensley Meulens said. "The guys that have the power that can hit homers here are the guys in the middle -- Pablo (Sandoval), Hunter (Pence), Michael (Morse) and Buster (Posey). Hopefully they can regroup and gain some kind of strength in the last six weeks to get us back on track."
During the 8-22 stretch, Posey and Sandoval have homered three times apiece at home. Pence has homered twice in those 30 games, and Morse, who this spring confidently predicted he would be AT&T Park-proof, just once (and twice total since June 5).
But the power outage goes beyond homers. The Giants, who had 52 doubles in the first 31 home games, have just 30 in the past 30 games. The lineup's slugging percentage has dropped from .410 over the first 31 home games to .315 over the past 30. During this same stretch, the Giants are slugging .366 on the road.
"There's danger when there's an extra-base hit, and we've been missing that," Bochy said. "Those extra-base hits make life easier. It's hard to string three of four hits together against really good arms."
The Giants did that Wednesday, getting three consecutive RBI singles to pull away after an overturned play at the plate. But those rallies have been few and far between, and the problems have been exacerbated by an inability to do the little things. The Giants, who had 16 sacrifice flies and 18 stolen bases in their first 31 home games, have just three sac flies and four steals in the last 30 at home.
It's an easy equation. Take the loss of power, mix in a lack of execution and then sprinkle in a startling drop in on-base percentage (.317 to .279) and you have an explanation for why the Giants are averaging just 2.8 runs in their last 30 home games. (They averaged 4.3 runs in their first 31 home games, winning 22 of them.)
The hitters aren't the only ones responsible for this slide. The pitching staff's ERA has risen from 2.76 in the good times to 4.05 in the bad. The home woes started when the Giants gave up 17 runs in three straight losses to the Nationals and calcified when the bullpen blew three straight save opportunities in the following series against the Colorado Rockies.
The staff struggled mightily in June but pitched better in July and gave up just four runs in the first home series of August. It was before the first of those two games that Bochy met with the team and imparted a desperate message: Someway, somehow, grind out enough wins down the stretch to make the postseason. It doesn't matter whether they enter as division winners or a wild card.
"You've got a chance then," said Jake Peavy, who got his first win as a Giant on Wednesday. "Anything can happen -- we've seen that."
The Giants know that better than anybody, and they realize that if they can string together enough home wins to grab a playoff spot, the strange AT&T Park swoon will be old news. After all, the 2010 and 2012 titles were clinched on the road.
For more on the Giants, see Alex Pavlovic's Giants Extra blog at blogs.mercurynews.com/Giants.
The Giants' remarkably bad run at AT&T Park over their past 30 games makes perfect sense when key statistics from that stretch are compared with those from their first 31 home games:
First 31 Last 30
Runs/game 4.3 2.8
Home runs 25 13
Doubles 52 30
Slugging pct. .410 .315
Stolen bases 18 4
Sacrifice flies 16 3
Records 22-9 8-22

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia magistrates and top staffers would regain pay lost following the 2010 Census from a pending state Senate measure.
State law now links a magistrate court's salaries to its county's population. That triggered January pay cuts in Lewis, McDowell, Wetzel and Wyoming counties.
The Senate Finance Committee voted Monday to reverse those reductions by lowering the population threshold. That change would also raise pay in Barbour and Roane counties.
The Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed the measure last week. The full Senate could vote on passage Tuesday.
A divided House of Delegates approved a different bill earlier that would increase salaries for 38 magistrates statewide. The Senate measure would benefit 14 magistrates as well as staff. The state Supreme Court estimates it would increase personnel spending by $240,800 annually.

The driver of the car, Jeremiah Johnson, 33, led officers on a chase early Friday morning that exceeded speeds of 110 mph, police said. Johnson, who authorities say had been involved in a lengthy custody battled over the boy, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The boy was found crying behind the driver's seat under a pile of clothes and was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, the newspaper reported. Police have not released the boy's name.
The chase began in Clive when an officer tried to pull over Johnson's car and it sped away. The Iowa State Patrol eventually took over and followed the car into Indianola, where the car slammed into a parked, unoccupied police cruiser at an estimated 130 mph, The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/ZiuLSQ) reported.
Officers were unaware there was a child in the car during the chase, authorities said.
"If they would have found out a child was in there, they probably would have called (the chase) off," Iowa State Patrol spokesman Sgt. Scott Bright said. "Those pursuits become very dangerous."
Authorities said the boy's mother, who had been awarded custody in July, reported the 5-year-old missing and endangered to Des Moines police in November.
Last month, police in Buford, Ga.
Police say Johnson sped away when an officer asked him to step out of the car. At the time, police did not engage in a high-speed chase because the boy was in the car, but a warrant was issued for Johnson's arrest.

WASHINGTON (December 3, 2012)—The House Republicans negotiating with President Barack Obama in hopes of avoiding a plunge over the so-called fiscal cliff were proposing Monday to increase the eligibility age for Medicare and to lower cost-of-living hikes in Social Security benefits.
The proposal is a response to Mr. Obama's offer last week to hike taxes by $1.6 trillion over the coming decade, but to exempt Medicare and Social Security from cuts to beneficiaries.
The GOP plan also proposes to raise $800 billion in higher tax revenue over the decade, but would keep the Bush-era tax cuts - including those for wealthier earners being targeted by Mr. Obama in place for now.
U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said the GOP proposal is a "credible plan" for Mr. Obama and that he hopes the administration would "respond in a timely and responsible way."

November 2, 2005
She's 29 and spends almost every day of the week helping others in the community. Rumame Samuels is one of Lounge Magazine's 5 Under 35 winners, picked for her positive impact on the people around her. News 12 looks into this woman's passion and what keeps her going strong.
Every day for Rumame Samuels is a busy day. Working as Director of Compensation for the Medical College of Georgia means she always has research ahead of her, passing out competitive salaries. But what you see here is only part of what keeps this woman going.
"There's GALA, the group I just mentioned, concern, I sing with the Augusta Choral which I didn't mention earlier. Almost every night of the week, I'm going somewhere," Samuels said.
It's founding groups like GALA that's really helping area youth go somewhere. Rumame's pastor, Clarence Hill, will vouch for it.
"She speaks to the children and they listen and she has a way of getting their attention, informs them of things they need to know, not by things she's learned or read about but things she experienced in life," Hill said.
Rumame's success started at a very young age. Academically, she finished 4th and 5th grades in the same year, she was able to skip 8th grade, and she started high school when she was just 11 years old.
Years after that, Rumame earned her bachelors and masters degrees from Clemson University. Hard work that her parents always taught her she could do.
"Also, my strong spiritual values, strong faith in God has also driven me just to know that if I just have faith in Him, there's absolutely nothing I can't do," Samuels said.
And well, just five minutes with Rumame and you'll wonder what could she possibly think to start working on next.

Calvin met his matches on The Fashion Show when some New Jersey and Orange County Housewives had gala gowns designed for them. After some problems though, Caroline had a little tiff with Calvin that resulted in a ridiculous tantrum.
While the reviews were only slightly intense, there were some moments. It was clear that Isaac wants to hire Caroline's mouth, and also that Dina looked fierce. With all these Housewives and designers, it was almost surprising that there wasn't more drama.

Starting with the Turbo Processing Unit (TPU), 4-Way Optimization performs Auto Tuning, which automatically overclocks the CPU to within ~95% of its potential, a process that typically could take up to 2 days to manually overclock. Auto Tuning is even able to overclock 2 cores at a time, and can configured to prioritize either multiplier (default) or BLCK if desired.
The process then moves to the Energy Processing Unit (EPU), which customizes power saving profiles for periods of light use or idle states. Within this module are options to set a TDP cap for low power scenarios, as well as selectively shut off SATA and USB ports when idling.
Next, DIGI+ VRM optimizes digital power settings to take full advantage of the CPU's built-in digital power delivery, creating a more precise and stable overclocking experience through OCP and LLC presets.
Finally, Fan Xpert 2 tests and calibrates each individual case fan connected to your motherboard to create selectable cooling profiles that can be further customized upon completion. The ability to assign customized fan curves and/or all-or-nothing temperature thresholds to profiles is also included.

This morning calls flooded into the Abbeville Police Department, warning about threats of weapons being brought to Abbeville High School.
Multiple agencies were on hand this morning doing a complete sweep of Abbeville high school.
Nothing was found and school went on by 10 a.m. But as Police Chief Mike Jones said, investigators believe the stabbing and the threats are not only connected but gang related.
As Abbeville High students showed up for class Tuesday, law enforcement was right behind them.
Abbeville Police Chief Mike Jones said, "The police department received many, many calls from concerned parents saying that they had heard that there would be knives and guns at the school."
Henry County Sheriff Will Maddox said, "We got everyone we could to come out and check it out and make sure everything was ok. And we searched all the students book bags and around their desks. Just for a safety check to make sure nothing was brought to the school."
All was clear, but investigators say the threats were in retaliation for the stabbing death of 17-year-old Tyric Brown outside of a block party. The past few days have shown law enforcement they're dealing with a much larger problem.
Jones said, "We have at least three gangs in this town…That's what the fight was about. Sorry about the way it ended up but that's what caused it."
Chief Jones says the murder is part of a spike in gang activity over the past four months. "A lot of your robberies and burglaries and other stuff, gangs are doing that."
Something the five officers on the gang task force are hoping to change.
Maddox said, "We are going to come down on gangs. Anyone affiliated with a gang, you are our target at the moment."
Chief Jones and Sheriff Maddox said parents shouldn't be concerned about sending their kids to school. They say their officers are on call 24/7 and will continue to investigate who was behind the threats.
If you hear about any type of threat, no matter how small.., law enforcement urges you to report it.
They will continue to take every threat seriously, hoping to be proactive in preventing any type of tragedy.

Easter egg hunt at Seattle zoo turns violent
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 7:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 7:52 a.m.
SEATTLE (AP) — One of usually peaceful springtime rituals of childhood — the Easter egg hunt — turned nasty at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.
Blame the moms.
A statement on the Seattle Police Department blotter Monday says the "hard-boiled tale" began Sunday afternoon, "when one woman reportedly pushed a child aside as her own child was scrambling toward some brightly colored eggs."
Police say the two mothers began fighting and had to be separated three or four times. The fisticuffs left one woman with a bloody nose.
Only one mother was still there when officers arrived. She said she wasn't interested in pursuing charges against her attacker.
As the release puts it, that left officers without "any info that could crack the case."
