Chasing drug dealers on a college campus instead of at a high school this time, undercover cops Jenko (Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (Jonah Hill) are still trying to pass as brothers, even though Jenko is a virile side of beef and Schmidt is …
Well, what are any of us compared to Tatum?
Legs and lungs. A barely suppressed yawn of the human genome.
One could go on.
It is, in fact, all too easy to underestimate Tatum as an actor simply because he has such a striking physical presence and, more importantly, because he belongs in that small but blessed company of performers who seem to do their job out of plain enjoyment – and to give plain enjoyment – without a detailed game plan that culminates someday with an Oscar. Or two.
Hill, on the other hand, is the funnier actor. He has a more complicated technique, or maybe he's simply a more complicated person. The thing is that he can express neurosis, discomfort and unhappiness without derailing a joke. If anything, those are all part of his delivery.
There's something Ren and Stimpy about their pairing, or even Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, assuming that Don Quixote was pretty much cool with whatever might happen in their adventures.
The actors have pared their repartee down to a series of broken-off sentences and questions and, when all ordinary verbal communications fails, baffled looks and inadequate gestures. It's an excellent team performance.
This sequel is largely a set of variations on 21, and as long as many of them work (and they do) there's no cause to be unhappy. Even if the extended drug-trip gag isn't quite as good this time, it's still a good drug-trip gag.
The dumb comedy was once a fairly grubby but pleasantly disposable product – you could include John Candy's Going Berserk (1983) or Chris Elliott's Cabin Boy (1994) – but over time a much higher level of writing, production and performance elevated such movies.
To a degree, anyway. Anchorman is probably the masterpiece of stupid-smart. It includes subtitled dialogue between a dog and a bear.
Like that and many other dumb-smart comedies, 22 can feel like the work of alien beings of superior intelligence learning how to behave like cavemen, but you nonetheless are grateful for the care and professionalism behind it.
Bromance and Twins22 dwells, for some reason, almost to the point of obsession on the theme of bromance and male bonding: Jenko, joining the football team, forms a bond that borders on the homoerotic with a fellow player, and the movie includes not one but two sets of identical twins (including comedians Keith and Kenny Lucas, as dorm mates).
But this eventually comes to feel like something out a Mike Myers movie: There's no joke that can't be beaten until it's dead, then beaten just a little bit more and brought back to life.
22 does have one great surprise, actress Jillian Bell.
Bell plays a dour coed who has a habit of showing up like the ghost from The Ring and mocking Hill for being so transparently older than anyone else on campus. (She and Hill engage in foreplay that couldn't be more awkward if they were in a plunging elevator.)
She's so funny, Tatum and Hill graciously cede the movie to her.

Thursday, April 11, 2013
The Ashley Ridge baseball team claimed its third straight win Wednesday, a 10-0 victory over crosstown rival Fort Dorchester.
Sophomore pitcher John Sanchez threw a one-hitter as the Swamp Foxes (7-11, 3-4 in Region 8-AAAA) 10-runned the Patriots (8-10, 2-5) in six innings.
"John has been a little spark for us as of late," Ashley Ridge coach BJ Bellush said. "He has been throwing the ball well."
The win comes on the heels of a 2-1 victory over Bluffton Monday and a win in the Swamp Foxes' final game of the Hanahan Invitational Tournament last week.
"Our whole team is starting to buy into the things we are emphasizing," Bellush said. "They are starting to get the little things right and it has helped us go on a little roll. Hopefully we can stay on it and finish the season strong. We blew our first games against Bluffton and Colleton County. We made a lot of errors and gave up a lot of unearned runs. We have been working on cleaning that up and on attacking the baseball at the plate."
Josh Litchfield led the Ashley Ridge batters against the Fort, going 3 for 4 at the plate with two RBIs and two doubles. Bradley McLaughlin was 1 for 3 with three RBIs.
Ashley Ridge scored a run in the first inning and took a 3-0 lead in the second. But the Swamp Foxes big inning was the fifth, when they pushed four runs across the plate. Bradley McLaughlin had the key hit for the Swamp Foxes, a bases-loaded double to center field to take the score to 6-0.
Ashley Ridge then scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to end the game early.
The Swamp Foxes avenged an early-season loss to the Bobcats with its road victory earlier in the week. Junior Jason Miller earned the win on the mound to improve his pitching record to 2-3.
Both Swamp Fox runs came in the third and Ashley Ridge held the Bobcats to a single run in the fourth.
Sanchez was 2 for 3 at the plate and drove in both Swamp Fox runs. Rusty Grayson was also 2 for 3 for Ashley Ridge.

Just when it seemed impossible to find untrammeled singletrack in Europe or snorkel uncharted waters in Australia, we're here to remind you that optimism pays off. New parks and trail systems, wacky weather patterns, and cosmic events can make a well-traveled planet feel full of new frontiers again. Here are the best adventure destinations for 2012.
—Claire Martin
Ski and Snowboard Mammoth Mountain, California
Photograph by Peter Morning, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area
In December 2010, Mammoth Mountain Resort, located in the eastern Sierra Nevada, had the most recorded snow on the planet. By July 4, 2011 (the end of the season), it had received a whopping 661 inches (50 percent more than usual). Credit for the white bounty went to La Niña, the climatic phenomenon whereby cool Pacific Ocean temperatures create cold, wet conditions in the West and Pacific Northwest. And according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, La Niña will be back with a vengeance again this year, blanketing the resort's 3,500-plus skiable acres—which are among the most of any U.S. ski area. True to its name, Mammoth also has a 3,100-foot elevation drop and it's served by a total of 28 lifts, which leave the slopes blissfully uncrowded.
Go Now:
Tamarack Lodge, a collection of cabins centered around a main lodge and a cross-country ski center with 19 miles of trails, has affordable rooms lined with knotty pine panels and a shared bathroom down the hall (www.tamaracklodge.com, +1 760 934 2442, from $99). Or consider Tallus, a new collection of private homes for rent. It's at the luxurious end of the spectrum, with hot tubs, vaulted ceilings, and private screening rooms in each of the four- and five-bedroom houses (www.tallus.com, 800 568 9976, from $850 a night for a house that sleeps ten).
Raft the Bruneau and Jarbidge Rivers, Idaho

Far in the southwestern corner of Idaho, a hundred miles southeast of Boise on the border of Nevada and Oregon, is the newest staging ground for two world-class river trips. The Bruneau-Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness, one of the newest designated wilderness areas in the country, is a 90,000-acre parcel of land that protects its namesake rivers. It's also a dead ringer for Bryce and Zion National Parks.
"There is no more remote river system in the lower 48, hands down," says Peter Grubb, owner of the rafting outfitter ROW Adventures. The Class III-IV Bruneau River begins in northern Nevada and flows turquoise blue, heading north for 50 miles through red-rock canyons. The sheer walls of the Bruneau create a lush environment (a desert anomaly) with good opportunities for side hikes. The Bruneau, which is not dammed, is only raftable in May and June, when it churns with snowmelt. The Jarbidge is a sassier 29-mile, Class V romp through hoodoos and red volcanic spires. Redband trout run these rivers, and otters, bighorn sheep, and bobcats inhabit the region, along with 60 species of birds.
Go Now:
ROW Adventures leads five-day trips on the Bruneau, with nights spent camping on sandy beaches, and seven-day trips that combine time on both rivers (www.rowadventures.com, 800 451 6034, from $1,585 per person).
Mountain Bike Bosnia and Herzegovina
Photograph by Andy Ross, Exodus Travels
In 2009, the Lonely Planet guidebook company prophesied that Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Eastern European country perhaps still best known for its ethnically charged war in the 1990s and for hosting the 1984 Sarajevo Olympics, had a bright future ahead of it. The country was poised to become Eastern Europe's year-round center for adventure. Since then, skiers, hikers, and whitewater enthusiasts have indeed made their mark—and now mountain bikers are starting to do the same. The ancient highland caravan routes that linked mountain towns for centuries now make for a heavenly singletrack system for the knobby-tire set.
Go Now:
British outfitter Exodus leads weeklong mountain-biking trips starting in Sarajevo that incorporate Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman culture with present-day adventure. Highlights include a ride into Lukomir, the country's highest village at nearly 5,000 feet, and an exploration of a region near the Prenj massif, known as the Herzegovina Himalaya. The country is mostly landlocked, but Exodus's route hits several lakes and culminates with a climb to a waterfall followed by a screaming, 4,200-foot mountain bike descent, and eventually, a return to Sarajevo (www.exodus.co.uk, 800 843 4272, from $1,530 for eight days).
Snorkel the Ningaloo Coast, Australia

Western Australia's Ningaloo Reef recently caught the eye of the UNESCO World Heritage committee with its treasures: sponge gardens, giant staghorn coral formations, and the world's largest whale shark population. It was named the newest World Heritage site in the summer of 2011. Ningaloo is one of the largest fringing reefs in the world—a spot where the spawning coral in the spring, from April to July, lures in hundreds of whale sharks. The reef is close enough to shore (a quarter of a mile) that kayakers can easily explore it, and snorkelers can swim out to it. Below the water's surface is a mind-boggling amount of marine life, including 250 types of coral, 500 fish species, manta rays, and hawksbill, loggerhead, and green turtles.
Go Now:
Sal Salis, a luxury tent camp located on the shoreline within Cape Range National Park, has a cluster of tents nestled in the dunes just 165 feet from the water. Sal Salis guides can take guests on reef excursions, including swims with the whale sharks. They also lead hikes into a gorge within the park, where kangaroos and wallabies can be seen—along with gaping views of the coastline (www.salsalis.com.au, +6 129 571 6399, from $677 per night, including all meals and activities).
Surf Todos Santos, Baja, Mexico

Just five years ago, the surf hamlet of Todos Santos was mostly a cluster of run-down hotels and funky art galleries. Located 50 miles northwest of Cabo San Lucas on the Pacific side of Mexico's Baja Peninsula, the town was filled with bohemians, artists, and surf bums who congregated at a nearby right point break called Cerritos. But in the last couple of years, a handful of new hotels catering to surfers has sprung up, and there's been an influx of surf shops and teaching pros. The sandy bottom and rolling waves are beginner-friendly, but expert locals also flock here (and are willing to share their bounty).
Go Now:
Rancho Pescadero, a small eco-oasis perched in the sand dunes fronting the ocean just south of town, has its own organic garden, with ingredients going into dishes such as caramelized chipotle chicken enchiladas and the hotel's fresh guacamole. Fleets of surfboards and bikes are free for guests to use. The staff will arrange for surfing lessons at Cerritos or at any of the region's other breaks. Each night, guests meander out to the beach for a margarita-and-bonfire homage to the setting sun. In March, there's the added bonus of a front-row seat to the gray whale migration, as mother whales begin shepherding their offspring north toward Alaska for the summer (www.ranchopescadero.com; +1 910 300 8891, from $185).
Climb Mustagata, China
Photograph by Guillem Lopez , Alamy
Mustagata is known to be the easiest climbable 7,500-meter peak—to the extent that the 24,757-foot mountain is known at all. It is located in China's Pamir Mountains at the junction of the Himalaya, Karakoram, Hindu Kush, Tian Shan, and Kunlun ranges—a region climbers most closely associate with the world's second highest peak, K2. But Mustagata, unlike its exceedingly dangerous neighbor, is one of the safest high-altitude mountains, and it's now starting to make it onto climbers' and outfitters' hit lists.
The route to the summit is nontechnical and conducive to snowshoeing or skinning up and skiing or snowboarding back down. The peak is located within Mustagata National Park, home to a surprising diversity of wildlife given the high altitude, including marmots, ibex, snow leopards, sheep, and goats. The region is also inhabited by two nomadic tribes, who live in yurts and ride camels and horses. At the summit, reachable in a four- to eight-hour push from the highest camp, views of K2, Pakistan, the Tien Shan range, and Afghanistan make the climb well worth the effort.

Explore Maya Culture, Belize

For the past 52,000 years, the Maya people have anticipated the year 2012 as the end of one cosmic cycle and the beginning of a new one—the dawn of a new era, so to speak. "Next year, 2012, represents an important time for rebirth, reflection, and renewal for the Mayas, who still make up a significant portion of Belize's population," says Larry Waight of Belize's Lodge at Chaa Creek, located between the ancient Maya cities of Tikal and Caracol. All year, the lodge is highlighting Maya culture with workshops on ancient stone carving techniques, folklore, and Maya astronomy, and hiking and horseback riding excursions to temples.
Go Now:
The Lodge at Chaa Creek's monthly Maya Heartland 2012 trip includes forays into the rain forest on its 365-acre nature preserve and samples other important Maya sites nearby. The Maya Winter Solstice 2012 trip is timed to the actual changing of the Maya calendar, in late December. It's seven days of Maya immersion, with classes on folklore, music, medicinal plants, farming techniques, and cacao preparation. Canoeing to a ceremonial cave, snorkeling the Belize reef, and partaking in Maya spa treatments—including the lodge's signature cocoa massage—are bonuses (www.chaacreek.com, 877 709 8708, from $2,996 per person for seven days).
Kayak Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island
Photograph by Onne van der Wal, Corbis
With 400 miles of coastline and 1,500 miles of rivers, Rhode Island is a paddler's dream destination. But until a few years ago, there wasn't much infrastructure for sea kayakers who wanted to launch day trips or multiday expeditions. Then in 2007, a nonprofit organization called the Rhode Island Blueways Alliance began linking and mapping the paddling routes. It created a database of information and resources for kayaking Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island's rivers and coastline. In 2012, 20 new sections of paddling routes will be mapped and kayakers will have a menu of new options. This includes the Pawtuxet River, which saw the dismantling of a 300-year-old dam last August. The river now flows freely into Narragansett Bay, and this spring sea kayakers will be among the first to ever paddle into the river mouth from the bay.
Go Now:
The councils that oversee the state's 16 major watersheds will be leading groups of paddlers on forays of the newly mapped routes throughout the spring and summer. Check the Rhode Island Blueways Alliance website for schedules and maps (www.exploreri.org). On the Pawtuxet River, ecologists predict that schools of river herring and American shad will be making their first runs up the Pawtuxet by the spring. A wooded shoreline cloaks the surrounding suburbs and rapids near the old dam site provide a bit of excitement. Eastern Mountain Sports Kayak School in nearby Lincoln rents boats (www.kayak-ems.com, 800 310 4514, from $55 per day).
Hike Newfoundland, Canada

The easternmost hiking trail in North America, Newfoundland's East Coast Trail delivers hikers to a world of sea stacks, oceanside headlands, icebergs, and deep fjords. The trail opened in 2001 with 135 miles of pathways from Fort Amherst to Petty Harbour Maddox Cove. Each year, the East Coast Trail Association's expansion plans have grown increasingly ambitious. Crews have been busy building bridges and cutting trail between the 32 historic communities along the island's eastern edge. By the close of the 2011 season, more than 100 miles of new pathways were completed—which means a bounty for hikers in 2012. The very newest section, a 4.5-mile path from Pouch Cove to St. Francis, edges along cliffs and past a waterfall—with views of offshore islands as it snakes toward the lighthouse at St. Francis.
Go Now:
The trail is prime for day hikes, but it's also possible to hike from town to town, staying at inns or camping along the way. The Outfitters, an outdoors store in capital city St. John's, arranges daylong and overnight hiking packages on the trail—providing logistical information, equipment rentals (trekking poles and the like), trail maps, and beta (www.theoutfitters.nf.ca, 800 966 9658, from $20 for day-hike support and from $100 for overnights).
Canoe the Susquehanna River Water Trail, Allegheny Mountains, Pennsylvania
Photograph courtesy Endless Mountain Outfitters
One of the newest national recreation water trails in the country, the West Branch Susquehanna River Water Trail snakes for 228 miles through the oak, cherry, and maple hardwood forests of the Allegheny Mountains and into the habitat of the Northeast's largest elk herd. It's seriously wild territory, but it's located smack in the center of Pennsylvania, within driving distance of the state's major cities—Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, this was prime timber harvesting country, and the river served as a conduit for trees heading to the Chesapeake Bay. Today, the river begins as a small stream near the town of Cherry Tree and gradually widens as it meanders through farmland, state forest, and historic towns. It eventually connects with 266 miles of other waterways that make up the entire Susquehanna Water Trail system, the largest river-based water trail in the country.
Go Now:
Plentiful state forestland means this is canoe-camping territory, but it's also prime for day trips. McCracken Canoe, in Clearfield, rents boats (www.mccrackencanoe.com; +1 814 765 1410, $25 per day). Maps are available through the Lumber Heritage Region of Pennsylvania website (www.lumberheritage.org/watertrailmap1.htm).

5 Things Men Do to Ruin Their Own Sex Lives
#2. Never Assume Women Have the Same Turn-Ons as You
For the most part, men are a pretty easy machine to start. Show us some boobs, and we're good to go. Unfortunately for us, we can't expect any reaction other than laughter or screaming when we just whip out our cocks and exclaim, "It's go time, baby! You're about to take a cruise on the Fuck Boat!" As much as it makes teenage boys and sheltered men throw tantrums, women are far more complicated than that.
Yes, it's true that there are women who do occasionally like a quick, one-night "fuck me like a Prince song" fling, but overall it's safe to say that women take many factors into consideration before giving themselves to a partner. Especially in the relationship setting that we've been talking about. There's attitude, respect, trust, your willingness to listen, communication, foreplay, emotional connection, attention ...
Three bottles of wine.
No, it's not enough to have a good body and a nice car. Even if you're with a woman who's shallow enough to fall for that shit right out of the gates, the longer she's with you, the less all of that superficial bullshit means. And no, contrary to the ratings machines of pop culture television, the average woman doesn't fall for self-centered douchebags who constantly talk about how awesome they look. At least not the ones I've known. Maybe that's something else you could ask our Cracked ladies about in your comments section research.
The truly sad thing is that I know way too many guys who try to wrap their head around those factors that women take into consideration and instantly get pissed off because "I have to do all of that just to get into her pants?!" It's frustrating, because how are we supposed to keep all of that in mind while at the same time trying to appear interesting and charming on a date? And once we're locked into an actual relationship, how are we supposed to keep all of that up?
"Of course I love being with you, honey, look how happy I am."
Here's the crazy thing -- and you'll want to really pay attention here, because it's vital to getting laid: If you're not a piece of shit at heart, and you truly respect her in the first place, you won't even have to try. That's what she's looking for.
#1. Don't Expect Her to Be a Porn Star
This may come as a shock to some of our less-experienced readers, but sex isn't quite like what you see in porn clips. For most people at least. It's hard to keep that in mind when virtually every porn you see has guys slapping asses hard enough to leave hand-shaped welts, people spitting on each other's crotches and men twisting a woman's breasts into a contorted mass that looks like a lesser demon from the Hellraiser movies.
Even something as simple as dirty talk can be a mood killer if you don't know where the line is. That's kind of the point, though: knowing her well enough in a non-sexual sense to know what she does and doesn't like when it comes time to drop a fuck. You can't just bust a "You're my nasty little night elf whore" out of nowhere and expect her to explode in orgasm.
Via Wowwiki.com
"I hope you're specced for beast mastery. 'Cause this dick ain't gonna tame itself."
That's why you have to be careful with things like Internet porn. Did you know there's such a thing as "overstimulation"? Don't give me that look, this isn't even a debatable topic. It's Psychology 101, and what it means is that your brain adapts to the things that give you pleasure, causing you to seek out more extreme versions of that thing. Overstimulation is indulging in so much of that thing that your brain becomes desensitized to it, and you lose the ability to get excited about it. It's gotten so bad with Internet porn that recent studies are showing that men in their 20s consider erectile dysfunction completely normal for their age group. And here's how too much porn can give you a big ol' case of the flopdick:
You start out watching normal people having normal sex, and it's pretty damn cool. But the more you watch, the more your brain gets used to it. So you start watching more specific videos. Student/teacher sex, bondage, MILFs fucking the vacuum cleaner. When that gets old, you up the ante again and the cycle continues until one day you find that you're unable to get a boner unless you're watching East Brazilian mink farmers having sex with pregnant servants dressed in latex astronaut costumes.
"Yes! I knew if I looked long enough ..."
Now that's not saying that one porn video is going to take away your dragon slayer. Pretty much every sex expert in the world says that watching a porno together is a good way to add some excitement back into a stagnating sex life. It's the habitual use that's bad. That's when regular everyday sex starts to feel bland, and you find yourself asking your partner if she could put on this plastic elephant trunk while you go to your stereo and put "The Humpty Dance" on a loop. And the more you expect her to conform to your every desire, the less you're involving her in the act. You've inadvertently turned her into a warm sack of meat that's only there to facilitate your orgasm.
Her needs and desires get put on the back burner because she's too busy trying to be the impossible fantasy taking place inside your head. No, unlike the porn videos show, not many women were built to handle the 14-inch dildo that's as big around as your forearm. Nor do most of them have a desire to have a cock jammed into the back of their throat until they convulse and try not to puke on your pelvis. That's why the women in those videos get paid to do what they're doing. And it's why many of their moans in those kinds of extreme scenes aren't ones of pleasure.
"No, your 10-inch dick feels great in my ass. Can we maybe speed this along, please?"
The woman you're with wants to please you, because that's how people behave in a relationship. But she doesn't want to do it by becoming something she's not. If she's into that sort of thing, fine. But even then, when she does act out those fantasies, she has to be doing it with you and not for you. Otherwise, they're going to start killing her mood more frequently until she finally has enough and the fantasies are all you have left. But don't take my word for it. The comments section is just a few inches below these words. Ask. Women are just as human as you, and they have no reason to lie. You'll learn more from them than you ever could from me.

JOHNSTOWN - Load the box, they'll sling the ball around. Cover the receivers, they've got two big threats to run the ball.
Tyrone football coach Steve Guthoff knew what Richland's game plan was going to be Firday night, but his team could do nothing to slow down the high-powered Rams offense as the Golden Eagles fell in the District 6 Class AA semifinals, 43-22, at Herlinger Field.

Photo for the Mirror
by Tami Ogline Knopsnyder
Richland's Kyle Flick picks off a pass intended for Charles Wilson-Adams.
"Pick your poison," Guthoff said. "They have two primarily great receivers that we had to be aware of. You take some guys out of the box to cover them, then they hit you with [running back Tanner] Solarczyk. Their offensive line played outstanding tonight and really dominated up front. That was the story of the game. We couldn't contain their offense."
Top-seeded Richland (12-0) amassed an incredible 523 yards of offense - 336 on the ground - had 28 first downs, and completely picked apart Tyrone's defense.
"That's our expectation," Richland coach Brandon Bailey said. "Our goal is to hit 250 [yards] throwing and 250 running. Some people think that's a lot of yards, but that's our expectation. We're going to run a lot of plays."
And many of those plays were huge, including Solarczyk's 47-yard run that helped set up a late first-half Rams touchdown.
Just before the run, fourth-seeded Tyrone seemed poised to cut into Richland's 17-7 lead with a promising drive that killed 7:27 off the clock.
The Golden Eagles (8-4) methodically moved the ball 59 yards to the Rams 21 before a flag moved them back five yards.
On third-and-13, Erik Wagner almost connected with Charlie Wilson-Adams in the end zone, but Richland's Kyle Flick knocked the ball away at the last second.
Then on the next play James Oliver led Wagner too much on a halfback pass to turn the ball over on downs.
With 25 seconds left in the quarter, instead of kneeling on the ball and heading to halftime, Bailey took a chance and Solarczyk rumbled all the way to the Tyrone 27 yard line.
Two plays later, Matt Shaffer zipped a pass to Flick for a 17-yard score.
"Our kids made some great plays with some awesome blocks on Tanner's big run," Bailey said. "The throw to Flick was a great pass and a great catch. It's what those kids have been doing all season long.
"That was huge. They don't want to play from behind. They have an exceptional back, and they want to hand it to him 25 or 30 times. When you get down 17 points, then you have to change your game plan a little bit."
That's exactly what happened.
After forcing the Eagles to go three-and-out on their first possession of the third quarter, the Rams added to their lead on a 10-play, 71-yard drive capped by Shaffer's 17-yard TD run.
From there, since Tyrone was in catch-up mode, Richland successfully took the ball out of Oliver's hands.
The junior entered the game with 1,849 yards and 26 touchdowns.
He was held to just 36 yards on 14 touches.
"We felt we were going to be able to move the ball and do some things," Guthoff said. "They stopped us from getting the long runs. We needed to try to control the clock, we needed to try to get the four to five yards on the ground. But it got away from us in the second half."
Wilson-Adams tried to make things interesting in the second half, though.
Wagner connected with him nine times on the night for 246 yards and three touchdowns. Wilson-Adams made several knee-buckling moves and broke multiple tackles, especially on his 22- and 80-yard scoring receptions in the fourth quarter.
"It was just an outstanding effort," Guthoff said of Wilson-Adams. "Even with the shorter routes, just being able to catch the ball and make things happen. That's what we were looking for for most of the year and we finally got it right at the end.
"Chuck is an outstanding football player. And he's a great defensive back for us, too."
Offensively, Tyrone had just 39 rushing yards which indirectly paved the way for Wagner's 332-yard effort on 16-of-24 passing.
"It would have been nice to mix that in with the running game, but we were so out of rhythm offensively with what we were trying to do," Guthoff said. "We're not a team that's going to win by the pass."
There wasn't much that Richland didn't do well, including winning the turnover battle, 4-1.
"You're in playoff football," Guthoff said. "Turnovers are important. It's so cliche, but when you get in the playoffs, whoever turns the ball over is going to lose. That's pretty much the bottom line."
Solarczyk had 181 yards on 15 carries, added four receptions for 48 yards and had two rushing touchdowns. Shaffer finished the night completing 14-of-19 attempts for 140 yards. He added 81 rushing yards on 14 carries and had two rushing TDs.
Luke Shertzer hauled in eight passes for 92 yards, and Flick had four catches for 32 yards and a score.
"I give them lots of credit," Guthoff said. "They are an outstanding football team. We knew that coming in that we had our hands full. It didn't help that there were a lot of things that we didn't so well tonight."
"I think our players were great in all three facets," Bailey said. "Offensively, we kept them off balance with the run and the pass. Tanner had a big game, Matt had a big game running. Our receivers caught the things that were thrown to them. All of that happens because of the offensive line."
Richland advances to its second straight district title game and will face the winner of tonight's Forest Hills-Ligonier Valley contest.
"It's exciting," Bailey said. "Going over to play at Mansion Park, it's an awesome experience. I'm so happy that our kids get to experience that. As a player, I had the opportunity to do it twice and won one as a senior. That's a special moment that I will always remember. These kids were able to get there back-to-back years. That's something that they'll always have."

Myra Castleberry, 54, has gained international attention over the years for hugging tipsy men while picking their pockets.
In court today after her 60th arrest, Buffalo's "Hugging Bandit" pleaded not guilty to a grand larceny charge.
The Genesee-Moselle neighborhood woman was arraigned before State Supreme Court Justice Penny M. Wolfgang on the latest charge for a July 22 incident, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
Castleberry is accused of stealing a wallet from a 35-year-old man's pants pocket while he negotiated a cab fare near Jim's Steakout on Allen Street and Elmwood Avenue, according to the DA's office.
If convicted of the fourth-degree grand larceny charge, she faces a prison sentence of two to four years.
Laura El-Bahtity, a Legal Aid Bureau lawyer representing Castleberry, asked the judge to ban TV news cameras from the courtroom during the arraignment.
The judge refused.
Then El-Bahtity asked the judge to proceed with the court hearing without Castleberry being present.
El-Bahtity said the prosecution's case relies on an identification by a witness who was first shown a single photograph.
The defense lawyer called it "a case solely based on identification."
El-Bahtity told the judge she made the requests to prevent photographs of her client at the arraignment "to try to get as fair a jury pool as possible."
Assistant District Attorney Jaharr S. Pridgen asked for bail to be set at $50,000, given the defendant's 44 previous misdemeanor convictions and six felony convictions. Wolfgang did so.
Castlebarry tried to cover her face with her coat as she walked into the courtroom, and turned her back to the cameras during the times when her lawyer was not talking to the judge from the defense table.
In past years, Castleberry has been arrested for distracting intoxicated men in the city's entertainment district by fondling them and then stealing their wallets.
Police arrested Castleberry in 2007 on charges of grand larceny and false personation, and said at the time they suspected her in dozens of similar incidents going back at least a decade.
She pleaded guilty in May 2007 to the false personation charge and was sentenced to time served, according to City Court records.
In January 2008, she pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of petit larceny and, four months later, Castleberry was sentenced to one year in prison on that charge, according to the District Attorney's office.

Anti-poverty campaign mobilized youth
14 February 2006
by Patrick Barkham
London, UK: It has been written off as wristband idealism, but last year's Make Poverty History campaign mobilized a generation of politically active young people, according to a survey for Oxfam.
Eighty-four percent of 16- to 25-year-olds said the campaign and the Live8 concerts had had the biggest impact on them last year, ahead of London's Olympic bid victory and the general election.
Two-thirds of respondents said they had worn the white bands last year and a similar percentage intended to support charities this year by signing petitions or joining email campaigns. Nearly half said they would attend rallies or events this year, and 45% said they would donate money or goods to charity.
But the survey of 1,400 16- to 25-year-olds for Oxfam's website, Generation Why, also indicated that charities needed to work hard this year to maintain the impetus. More than half (54%) of those surveyed said they were uncertain about what should happen next.
Young people were not turned off by the celebrity-driven nature of Make Poverty History. More than three-quarters (78%) said celebrity endorsements got "the message to people who might not otherwise care", and 63% said actors and music stars could raise awareness of important issues. Just 6% said the involvement of celebrities trivialised the issues.
Oxfam has launched a campaign, I'm In, aimed at signing up a million young people to get involved in its work this year. The Generation Why website was set up in 2004 to help young people engage directly in its campaigns by blogging, writing articles, taking up e-card campaigns or volunteering to help out at festivals. The website had five times more visitors this January than last.
"These results show that Make Poverty History put important issues in front of many young people perhaps for the first time, and showed them how they could be a part of it," said Liz Leaver, Oxfam's youth coordinator. "More young people than ever want to take action, and are now looking for the best way to get involved. It is now up to charities like us to help translate that desire into positive action. Oxfam is committed to keeping young people engaged."

Under California Penal Code section 290, anyone convicted of a sexual offense is required to register their home address with local law enforcement. The sex registrants also must notify authorities within five days of relocating. There are nearly 3,300 convicted sex offenders residing in Riverside County, according to the District Attorney's Office.

ANIMART Announces the Track a))) Cow™ Calf to Calf™ Program
ANIMART Announces the Track a))) Cow™ Calf to Calf™ Program
ANIMART, Inc. announces the recent launch of the innovative Calf to Calf™ program.
The Calf to Calf™ program offers producers a 12 month 0% financing option which provides the complete Track a))) Cow™ electronic heat detection system (including the NEW Feed-O-Meter™ tags) and two FREE blood pregnancy tests per animal.
By implementing the Track a))) Cow™ system producers are able to monitor cow activity to breed cows as they come into "heat". They then can confirm pregnancy with the two FREE blood pregnancy tests. The pregnancy test results are reported quickly back to the producer and their Veterinarian. By combining these advanced reproduction tools with a 12 month, 0% financing program, Calf to Calf™ limits the impact on a producer's cash flow.
"The drought last year and the rains this year have stretched the cash flow of many producers. Calf to Calf™ is a program aimed at limiting impact of cash-on-hand for producers so they can continue to advance their operation's pregnancy rates," said Dan Ellsworth, President of ANIMART.
Electronic monitoring of cows can reduce labor, increase pregnancy rates and decrease the need for hormone treatment. Track a))) Cow™ delivers frequent, real-time data transfer providing the producer timely and actionable information.
Established in 1982 and headquartered in Beaver Dam, Wis., ANIMART, Inc. is a privately held provider of animal health and veterinary products as well as show equipment for dairy and livestock producers. ANIMART is committed to offering a full line of products and solutions to help dairy and livestock businesses succeed. More information about the company and its products can be accessed at www.animart.com.

A theme emerges when one looks at the list of highway projects expected to move from drawing board to construction zone up to a decade sooner than planned. The words "reconstruct, widen and add a lane" are used repeatedly.
The thrust of the work is to alleviate congestion and aggravation on Ohio highways. Call it the reverse Venturi effect: As more traffic is funneled into the same number of lanes, the flow of traffic slows, causing pressure to build among drivers.
It's important to note the plan touted Monday isn't meant to catch up on replacing crumbling roadways and decaying bridges. It's a way to accelerate projects to rebuild interchanges and add lanes of travel.
These plans originally were considered with the knowledge that funding wasn't adequate to foot the bill for them. ODOT still plans more work than its budget will allow, in case more money becomes available than expected.
Couple that with state and federal government policies which compel people to live in metropolitan areas, and roadway congestion increases in larger cities even though Ohio's population grew by less than 200,000 from 2000 to 2010.
Because the state can't go into debt the same way the federal government can, something akin to deficit spending - call it deficit planning - has occurred. Next, money will be borrowed against future Ohio Turnpike revenues to "catch up" on highway projects.
These projects may be crucial to Ohio's future. Otherwise, residents might tire of traffic congestion and delays, and opt to move elsewhere. But their completion would leave even more lane miles of pavement that must be maintained. And where will the money be found for that?
That's the question to be resolved as those turnpike bonds are repaid. Meanwhile, taxpayers can find a likely answer staring at them in the closest mirror.

Product Details
The ADIS16480 iSensor® device is a complete inertial system that includes a triaxial gyroscope, a triaxial accelerometer, triaxial magnetometer, pressure sensor, and an extended Kalman filter (EKF) for dynamic orientation sensing. Each inertial sensor in the ADIS16480 combines industry-leading iMEMS® technology with signal conditioning that optimizes dynamic performance. The factory calibration characterizes each sensor for sensitivity, bias, alignment, and linear acceleration (gyroscope bias). As a result, each sensor has its own dynamic compensation formulas that provide accurate sensor measurements. The sensors are further correlated and processed in the extended Kalman filter, which provides both automatic adaptive filtering, as well as user-programmable tuning. Thus, in addition to the IMU outputs, the device provides stable quaternion, Euler, and rotation matrix outputs in the local navigation frame.
The ADIS16480 provides a simple, cost-effective method for integrating accurate, multiaxis inertial sensing into industrial systems, especially when compared with the complexity and investment associated with discrete designs. All necessary motion testing and calibration are part of the production process at the factory, greatly reducing system integration time. Tight orthogonal alignment simplifies inertial frame alignment in navigation systems. The SPI and register structure provide a simple interface for data collection and configuration control.
The ADIS16480 uses the same footprint and connector system as the ADIS16488 and the ADIS16488A, which greatly simplifies the upgrade process. It comes in a module that is approximately 47 mm × 44 mm × 14 mm and has a standard connector interface. The ADIS16480 provides an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

|Polaron Coherence Condensation in Layered Colossal Resistive Manganites
Novel quantum phenomena, such as high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) and colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), arise in certain materials where the interactions between electrons are very strong, but the mechanism driving their appearance remains a major puzzle. Now, angle-resolved photoemission findings from an international team led by researchers from Stanford University and the ALS provide the first direct spectroscopic evidence that the transition from insulator to metal in CMR manganese oxides (manganites) results from coherent "polaron condensation." The new findings also suggest that coherence-driven transitions are a generic controlling factor for novel quantum phenomena in doped transition-metal oxides.
Describing a condensed system composed of 1023 electrons is a formidable task. The standard (mean-field Fermi-liquid) theory comes to the rescue with the concept of quasiparticle. A system composed of many strongly interacting particles can sometimes be described as if it were composed of a few weakly interacting "quasi-electrons," which one can roughly imagine as the electrons surrounded by a cloud of "screening" electrons. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) allows measuring quasiparticles directly, providing effective "single-particle" spectra from which one can construct a multidimensional map of the particle energy–momentum relationship (dispersion).
In strongly interacting materials like the CMR manganites, the quasiparticle concept can be more problematic. For example, earlier in ARPES experiments at Beamline 10.0.1 on the CMR manganite LSMO, a lanthanum-strontium-manganese oxide (La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7), the Stanford–ALS team observed polarons (see Pseudogaps, Polarons, and the Mystery of High-Tc Superconductivity). A polaron forms when an electron is strongly coupled to the atoms in a crystal. The polaron thus has a larger effective mass as it moves and a lower mobility than an isolated electron. However, the spectra exhibited only a small "polaronic quasiparticle" peak below the ferromagnetic transition temperature (Curie point) of about 120 K, accounting for only 10% of the total spectral weight (intensity), indicating that the interactions are so strong that quasiparticles barely survive in manganites.
Nonetheless, in their current detailed measurements of the temperature dependence of the ARPES spectra, the team was extremely surprised to find that the temperature dependence of the small quasiparticle peak in the ARPES spectra tracked extremely well the DC electrical conductivity. Remarkably, despite being such a minority, the polaronic quasiparticle was still able to track the evolution of the whole system, a behavior completely unexpected from conventional Fermi-liquid theory.
The temperature-dependence of the quasiparticle intensity closely resembles the state of affairs in the "underdoped" (i.e., d is smaller than needed for maximum superconductivity) HTSC Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (BiSCCO2212). Here, the superconducting transition is controlled by the condensation of phase-coherent paired electrons (Cooper pairs); however, the temperature dependence of the quasiparticle peak intensity resembles that of various collective properties related to the superfluid density, again an unexpected behavior, since quasiparticles should provide information about the strength of the pairing, but not reflect the coherence of cooper pairs.
The physical picture for the quasiparticle formation emerging from the new work is that the coherent polaronic metallic ground state appears in the ARPES spectra very rapidly as the wavefunctions of the individual "small" polarons that exist at higher temperature overlap and the polarons condense into a phase-coherent "many-body" quantum state. The proposed driving force for this transition is the sudden reduction of kinetic energy induced by the synergy of polaron condensation and the magnetic double-exchange interaction (see Polaron Behavior in CMR Manganites).
In sum, the commonality between the quasiparticle behavior in LSMO and underdoped BiSCCO2212 has to be identified with the coherence-driven nature of the transitions and with the polarons that are the basic constituents of the poorly understood metallic phase present in both CMR manganites and HTSC cuprates. Coherence-driven transitions may thus provide a rationale for understanding high-temperature quantum phenomena.

The desire or jealousy to have or to deal with an extremely large pannus. Often experienced by health care workers and medical students. A theory derived from classical Freudian psychology, Pannus Envy stems from the subconcious fixation on those who themselves have, or are physically near a large pannus.

Business Environmental Leadership Council (BELC)
C2ES's Business Environmental Leadership Council (BELC) was created in 1998 with the belief that business engagement is critical for developing efficient, effective solutions to the climate problem. We also believe that companies taking early action on climate strategies and policy will gain sustained competitive advantage over their peers.
Starting with 13 companies, the BELC is now the largest U.S.-based group of corporations focused on addressing the challenges of climate change and supporting mandatory climate policy. The BELC is comprised of industry leading, mostly Fortune 500 companies across a range of sectors with combined revenues of $2 trillion and 3.5 million employees. Many different sectors are represented, from high technology to diversified manufacturing; from oil and gas to transportation; from utilities to chemicals.
While individual companies hold their own views on policy specifics, they are united with C2ES in the belief that voluntary action alone will not be enough to address the climate challenge. In 2011, the BELC members accepted the following guiding principles:
- We accept the scientific consensus that climate change is occurring and that the impacts are already being felt. Delaying action will increase both the risks and the costs.
- Businesses can and should incorporate responses to climate change into their core corporate strategies by taking concrete steps in the U.S. and abroad to establish and meet greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets, and/or invest in low and zero GHG products, practices and technologies.
- The United States should significantly reduce its GHG emissions through economy-wide, mandatory approaches, which may vary by economic sector and include a flexible, market-based program. Complementary policies may also be necessary for sectors such as buildings, electricity generation, forestry, agriculture, and transportation that will help drive innovation and ease the transition to a low-carbon economy.
- Climate change is a global challenge that ultimately requires a global solution. An international climate framework must establish fair, effective, and binding commitments for all developed and major developing economies.

One of Summerville High School's top softball players and scholars will attend Charleston Southern University next school year.
Green Wave senior Taylor Powell, on Nov. 15, signed a national letter of intent to play for the Buccaneer softball team.
"I really like that CSU is faith oriented," Powell said. "I feel like it is a place where I can develop my Christianity and remain close to family. It should be a great foundation for the next step in my life. I love their coaches and the girls on the team and just the school in general."
Academically, Powell is the top-ranked student in her class. She plans to major in mathematics with an applied physics minor and eventually go to grad school to study biomedical engineering.
Her accomplishments on the softball field are also impressive.
"CSU is getting an all-around great," Green Wave coach Heather Tucker said. "Tay is a solid outfielder. She reads the ball off the bat well and has good speed. She does a great job of sacrificing her body to dive for balls. Offensively she is a triple threat from the left side of the plate … she can bunt, slap, and hit away. Tay is also a smart, quick base runner."
Powell has been a starter for the Green Wave team for the past two seasons. As the team's centerfielder last season, she earned All-region honors and the team's Amp Award based on her team spirit.
"She's the kid that stays late after almost every practice to get a little extra work in and she is always willing to stay with a teammate after practice to help them work on skills," Tucker said. "She is respected by her teammates because of the discipline and work ethic she displays."
Last season she had 48 hits, which tied her with leadoff batter Sarah Windham for most on the team. Powell was second only to Windham in the plate appearances (136), doubles (7), runs scored (21), batting average (.407) and on-base percentage (.444) categories.
Powell is the leadoff batter for her Carolina Fire travelball team, which qualified and played at nationals this year. She is also an FCA member.
She is hoping to see action with the Bucs as a freshman.
"Coach (Shane) Winkler's primary focus is offense so I feel like I can step in and compete for a starting spot, but I will have to put the work in and earn it," Powell said.
