A second-half comeback lifted Stratford High School to a 42-28 victory over Sumter in a non-region football game on Friday night.
The Knights improved to 2-0 by rallying from a 28-21 deficit in Sumter. It was Stratford's fourth win in the series over the last five games.
Coach Ray Stackley's squad travels to Fort Dorchester on Friday. The Patriots are 2-0 after convincing victories over Carolina Forest and Cane Bay. The Knights have won two straight over Fort Dorchester and three of four, including last season's 28-21 win that was Stackley's 250th career victory.
"Fort Dorchester is much improved," he said. "They are very athletic on both sides of the ball. Their quarterback (Kobe Garrett) is very dangerous running and throwing and their defensive front is as big and as athletic as we will see all year … we will have to play better than we have been playing to be successful."
Garrett and the Patriots figure to be a stern test. Against Cane Bay, Garrett threw four touchdown passes to four different receivers and running backs Matt Murray and Nahshon Cyrus combined for nearly 200 yards.
Cane Bay finished with less than 170 yards of total offense.
"Our kids played hard," Fort Dorchester coach Steve LaPrad said. "We moved the ball well and our defense played like we expect it to in the second half but we need to clean some things up. Hopefully with a good week of practice we can straighten the other things out."
Against Sumter, quarterback Jacob Park was 19 of 33 for 334 yards and three touchdowns. The Georgia commitment tossed two touchdowns to Jordan Johnson and another to Thad Thompson.
Johnson and Tyree Scroggins each caught six passes for 97 and 79 yards respectively. Johnson added a rushing touchdown for the Knights.
Thompson had three grabs for 94 yards while Jamek Jones added three catches for 63 yards.
Defensively, linebacker Cecil Smith led the way with 13 tackles and 2.5 sacs. Linebacker Michael Simmons, linebacker T.J. Deveaux and defensive lineman Joe Cook added 10 tackles apiece.
Deveaux also had 2.5 sacks, while Cook added a sack and a half. Defensive lineman Rodrigo Hernandez and cornerback Sheldon Reid added eight and six tackles respectively.
Reid also made an interception.
After Fort Dorchester, the Knights host Ashley Ridge on Sept. 20 and travel to Colleton County on Sept. 27.

Throughout history, climate change has adversely impacted low-income communities, which have become particularly vulnerable to flooding, high carbon emissions and co-pollutants. These events have led to displacement and high levels of cancer, asthma and other respiratory illnesses.
Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice (DWEJ) was established in 1994 to respond to the disproportional burdens facing people of color and low-income residents in environmentally distressed communities.
At a time when urban centers are depressed with job loss, aging infrastructure and numerous abandoned properties, DWEJ is on the cutting edge of finding unique solutions that integrate environmental justice, city revitalization and economic development.
Over the past several months, DWEJ and other environmental justice advocates have worked closely on the federal climate legislation – H.R. 2454 (American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009) and S.1733 (Clean Energy Jobs and America Power Act) to ensure that stringent measures are adopted to closely monitor and regulate cap and trade, significantly increase green job opportunities for historically under-represented communities, and substantially curtail carbon emissions in low-income communities.
The passage of a climate justice energy bill is critically important because it will strengthen the United States position of negotiation in future Conference of Parties (COP) climate negotiations.
We must have a strong focus on substantially reducing green house gasses, carbon dioxide, providing financial support for adaptation and technology transfer for developing countries and small island states.
Thousands of people descended upon Copenhagen, Denmark, Dec. 7-18, ranging from world presidents to foreign ministers, to party leaders to non-government organizations (NGO's) to business groups, in anticipation of a climate agreement being reached. This Climate Conference (COP15) was considered the largest ever, drawing over 40,000 people. Indeed, it was considered a who's who of who's who premier functions.
There were 192 nations and over 110 heads of state in attendance. What a perfect and unique opportunity to develop a binding agreement that would immediately develop and enforce short- and long-term goals for reducing green house gasses. All of the necessary players were represented. The stage was set.
As DWEJ has played an active role in proposing amendments to the federal energy legislation, we were very excited to join with other environmental justice advocates to participate in the Climate Conference for the duration.
This experience enabled us to meet with key stakeholders to express our concerns and share our recommendations about reducing global warming and addressing its adverse impact on vulnerable communities, nationally and internationally.
DWEJ met with several world government leaders, particularly African countries, to build a consensus on establishing a meaningful treaty during the conference.
We were particularly focused on ensuring that the global temperature should be closer to 1.5 Celsius, which will ease the devastation of global warming and agricultural development in particular. We are also concerned that developed countries, particularly the United States and China, have not made more aggressive commitments to reducing carbon emissions in the short term.
Reportedly, the United States and China are the two top carbon emitters. Recently, China surpassed the U.S. Together, they account for over 40 percent of carbon emissions. We shared these concerns with the White House, as well as the EPA, during the Copenhagen Conference.
In order to create a meaningful binding international treaty that is advantageous for developed countries, developing countries and small island states, there must be a more concerted effort from the United States, China, Brazil and India to appoint advisors with a vested interest in promoting environmental justice.
This is fundamentally important if we are going to reduce the adverse effects of climate change on national and international vulnerable communities.
Additionally, it is our fervent desire that developed countries will engage in more strategic conversations with non-government organizations (NGO's) and other stakeholders who endeavor to achieve a strong semblance of environmental justice.

From sleek show horses and polished livestock to chocolate cakes and cornbread, Blair and surrounding counties were well represented at the 2010 Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg.
This year's show saw record attendance, Jean Kummer, spokeswoman for the state Department of Agriculture, said Friday. With the increase of nearly 5,000 parked cars at the show - there is no charge for admission, only parking - Kummer estimated nearly a half million people visited the Farm Show Complex between Jan. 9-16.
"Some days, attendance was up 25 percent over last year," she said. "A few days, it was just really packed with people. It's exciting that that many people were coming in to learn about agriculture."
I can vouch for that. On Jan. 9 and again on Jan. 14, Mirror photographer Patrick Waksmunski and I made the trek to Harrisburg to cover local people who were competing in the farm show.
While the farm show staff provides us with a list of area exhibitors beforehand, meeting up with them is usually a matter of luck.
When we were standing in the press office, overlooking one of the arenas, Patrick noticed one of the men throwing horseshoes was wearing a T-shirt with his name and hometown of Hollidaysburg. Patrick made it to the arena just as Bill Helsel tossed his last two horseshoes to break a tie and win the competition.
Sometimes, other media help. A photographer from The Reading Eagle tipped us off that Tim and Jeneen Awckland of New Paris had won a champion ribbon with one of their draft horses.
There's more to the farm show, though, than horse shows and horseshoes. There's a large food court, where commodity interest groups from the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association to the Pennsylvania Dairymen's Association sell their products. Kummer said food court sales were up 15 percent this year.
Maybe you have no interest in the showmanship and judging of the state's finest Holsteins, but you can't resist milkshakes and fried cheese cubes.
What I love about the farm show is that it's an education in the food production process, from start to finish. The milkshakes, cheese cubes and hamburgers wouldn't be possible without the hay and grains on display. Everything we eat - even if it's processed beyond recognition from its natural form - comes from the farm.
In an age when most of us are far removed from food production, a walk through the farm show can be more enlightening than ever.
The 2011 show is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 8-15. If you eat, it's worth a trip to the capital.

Consecutive losses to begin the season left the Tyrone Area Golden Eagles with little margin for error the rest of the way.
They haven't needed any, so far.
The Eagles have responded in the last month with astronomical scores, lopsided wins and record-setting rushing numbers.
"They rose to the challenge. They understood that we all had to get better," said Steve Guthoff, who is in his first year as head coach of the Eagles after a couple of stints as an assistant.
How much better the Eagles have gotten will be put to the test on Friday night when Mountain League front-runner Clearfield brings its unbeaten record to Gray-Veterans Memorial Field for one of the most-anticipated games in the region on this week's high school football docket.
Tyrone is 4-2 overall and 4-1 in the league, a half-game behind the Bison and a half-game ahead of third-place Central. The game, which features two of the most prolific offenses in this part of the state and also carries some big ramifications for the Eagles in their quest for a high playoff seed, kicks off at 7 p.m.
"Wow. They do a lot of things right," Guthoff said of the Bison. "They have good coaching and talented players. That's a pretty nice combination to have."
Guthoff could make a similar claim. The Eagles entered the season returning the like of Charles Wilson-Adams, Maverick Mills, Ben Makdad, Seth Welch, Corey Snyder, Hayden Zook, Lucas Woomer, Seth Umholtz and Ryan Fink from a team that played for the PIAA Class AA championship last year and added some pretty talented athletes like James Oliver, Erik Wagner, Justin Reader and Aleic Hunter to the starting mix.
All that wasn't adding up to wins early in the year. The Eagles have turned it around, though. Tyrone has outscored its last four opponents by 201 points. Oliver, a junior, broke the school record for rushing yards in a game last week with 342 in a little more than a half of action; he's leading the area with 1,209 yards. Led by Oliver and Hunter, the Eagles are averaging more than 10 yards per carry in the last month.
"We just needed some time. That's really what it came down to," Guthoff said. "As much as things looked really rough the first couple of weeks, I knew we had some good ballplayers. It was really just a matter of getting them playing time, especially defensively."
Guthoff added some formations to the offense and tweaked the line scheme in addition to making some minor but significant personnel moves as the players started to get comfortable with the coaching changes.
"On both sides of the ball, there's a period of time when a team has to adapt to a new coaching staff," said Clearfield coach Tim Janocko, who is in his 28th year with the Bison. "They've done that, and they've been playing well the past four weeks."
The Bison have been, too, as well as the first two weeks. A one-point thriller against Central in the third game of the season was the closest Clearfield has come to being knocked off. The Bison's next closest contest was 15 points; they won a game by 47 points earlier this year and their last two victories are by a combined 56 points.
As with most Janocko teams, the offense takes center stage. Junior Christian Lezzer has made a successful transition from receiver to quarterback, completing more than 59 percent of his passes for 757 yards in addition to gaining 642 yards on the ground. Running back Tyler Stratton has rushed for 700 yards, and 11 of Trey Jordan's team-high 20 receptions have gone for scores.
Clearfield is averaging 40.2 points.
"Lezzer can throw, he can run. We've got to know where he is all the time. This might be the best one-two running combination we see all year," Guthoff said. "We've got to make sure we swarm to the ball, because these guys are going to make people miss. They're good. We're going to have two, three, four people on one tackle."
Players like Oliver present a similar problem for the Bison.
"It'll be a challenge," Janocko said. "There's no question."
This will be the first time the teams have squared off since 2008-09, when they each won a game at home. The Eagles and Bison have a pair of common opponents - Clearfield beat Bellefonte by 35 in addition to its 34-33 win against Central, while Tyrone topped Bellefonte by 38 after losing 28-0 to Central.
The Eagles played Central in the second week of the season.
The matchup has all the makings of being competitive, with potentially a lot of scoring.
"We have the potential to move the ball. They have the potential to move the ball and to put points on the board," Janocko said. "It's going to come down to who makes the last play, or at least who makes the big play in a key situation."

Environmental Protection Agency officials, who sometimes employ a divide-and-conquer strategy to increase the regulatory burden on job-creating businesses, lost a battle in court this week.
The EPA is attempting to enforce expensive new regulations on some farmers in West Virginia and other states. One of them, Eastern Panhandle chicken producer Lois Alt, has balked and taken the agency to court.
Officials of the West Virginia Farm Bureau want to intervene in the case, because of its implications for many other farmers. But the EPA argued the Farm Bureau should not be a party because, according to the agency, the cirumstances allegedly are unique to Alt's case.
That is absolutely ridiculous, as U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey ruled this week. He issued an order that the Farm Bureau can intervene because the case does have implications for other farmers.
Clearly, the EPA wanted to isolate Alt in order to overwhelm one farmer - so it could use the case to enforce rules against others. Bailey was right to reject that, simply to ensure justice is done.
Big-government regulators don't like it when the public is reminded of the ramifications of agencies' edicts. President Barack Obama's policies on coal are an excellent example.
EPA officials are well aware that many Americans don't understand coal-fired power plants are responsible for the reasonably priced electricity tens of millions of consumers enjoy. Obama and those in his administration would prefer that voters not make the link between a devastated coal industry and higher utility bills.
In Alt's case, the EPA wanted to set a precedent for many farmers by battling her alone in court. Bailey did the right thing by killing that strategy.

ALBANY – The state on Thursday closed a loophole, based on a 2009 murder case in Tonawanda, that previously permitted individuals convicted of murdering a family member to have a say over their burial.
The new provision, one of several in a domestic violence-related measure signed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, seeks to prevent a repeat of the case involving Stephen Shepherd, who was convicted of murdering his wife three years ago in the couple's home. Over the objections of her family, Shepherd had his wife's remains buried at a Buddhist site in the Catskills at a spot the couple had frequented.
The new law bans someone who has been charged with murder – or was under an order of protection – from controlling what happens to the remains of the dead person. The new provision allows a court to intervene and waive the new requirements under certain conditions.
The loophole closing was pushed by State Sen. Michael Ranzenhofer, an Amherst Republican, and Assemblyman Robin Schimminger, a Kenmore Democrat, following the Shepherd murder case. Family members of the murdered woman say they had sought to stop Shepherd from deciding the burial plans and said the site he selected was meant as a final act of hostility toward the woman and her family.
Ranzenhofer said previous state law on the matter contained a "disturbing loophole … that only serves to compound a family's grief after the tragic passing of a loved one."
The new law takes effect in 30 days.
Elaine O'Toole, a cousin of the slain woman, said Constance Shepherd's body sat in a morgue for more than a month before her husband released the body to an attorney.
"It was just a fiasco," O'Toole, a Tonawanda resident, said of the episode.
One area Buddhist leader, Ray Eigen Ball, told The Buffalo News earlier this year before the bill was approved in June that Constance Shepherd was a frequent visitor to the Catskills' Buddhist monastery site and that her husband followed through on her wishes to be buried there. He said some of her family had wanted a Catholic burial for the woman, a faith, he said, she had abandoned.
O'Toole told The News the family was given no say, although she praised a local Buddhist group for their handling of her ashes that were taken to a mountain monastery downstate.
"Whether she wanted to be buried there or not has nothing to do with the story," O'Toole added. "What has to do with the story is that her family, not the abuser, would have the final say.
"I hope, as the cliche goes, that no other family has to go through this. … It was really very painful."
Stephen Shepherd, 59 at the time of the killing, pleaded guilty in 2009 to first-degree manslaughter in the death of his 49-year-old wife in their home, which had been foreclosed upon days earlier. He worked as a bank fraud investigator at HSBC and is in prison on a 21-year sentence.
Lawmakers noted the problem is not rare, citing the case of family members of Aasiya Hassan who were unable to obtain rights to her remains after she was beheaded by her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, in their Orchard Park television studio in 2009, a week after she filed for divorce.
"Persons who exhibit extreme hostility towards a decedent, as evidenced by an order of protection or being the subject of criminal charges arising out of the treatment of such decedent, are not suitable persons to plan final funeral and burial arrangements," states a legislative bill memo accompanying the new law.
The new legislation closing the Shepherd case loophole also includes stronger punishments for domestic violence cases, including felony-level charges against someone convicted during a previous five-year period of domestic violence against a family member.
Judges will also now be required to consider risk factors in bail decisions for defendants charged with an act of violence against a family member.

Blueberry-Meyer Lemon Muffins
- Yield:makes 12 muffins
- Active time:20 minutes
- Total time:60 minutes
This recipe appears in:Bake the Book: Blueberry-Meyer Lemon Muffins
These muffins are dense where others are fluffy, and moist where some are dry. As an added plus, they are easy enough to whip up before work.
Excerpted from Sweet by Valerie Gordon (Artisan Books). Copyright 2013. Photographs by Peden and Munk.
- 2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick/3 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (7 ounces) sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) crème fraîche
- 2 tablespoons grated Meyer lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice
- 2 cups (8 ounces) blueberries, rinsed and dried
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Coat the cups of a muffin tin with nonstick baking spray or brush generously with melted butter.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl, using a handheld mixer), cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Mix the egg, crème fraîche, lemon zest, and juice together in a small bowl with a fork or small whisk. Add to the creamed butter and mix until fully combined, about 2 minutes; the batter will appear a little lumpy. Add the dry ingredients in two batches, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and the paddle attachment. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the blueberries to avoid crushing them.
Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, scoop about 1/3 cup batter into each muffin cup. Pick up the muffin tin and knock it firmly against the work surface a couple of times to level the batter and release any air pockets. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with 1/4 teaspoon sugar.
Bake for 13 minutes, then rotate the muffin tin and bake for an additional 13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool the muffins in the pan on a cooling rack for 15 to 20 minutes before removing them.
Storing: The muffins can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container or frozen for up to 2 months in Ziploc freezer bags.

The judges really were on crack giving M-T/M PCS 2.5 points higher than to D/R.
M-T/M skated with a lot of power, yes, but their program was quite empty and they don't have the polish that D/R managed to acquire. D/R had much more complex choreography and a program with a lot of detail in it, presented beautifully.
I understand that M-T/M really gave it 110% and had this "WOW effect" but the judges should be able to see beyond that and judge PCS appopriately.
I also think that Castelli/Shnapir were overmarked both on the GOE and the PCS. I was very surprised that Zhang/Bartolomay didn't manage to beat them in the FS at least.
I'd also have Lawrence/Swiegers further ahead of Pang/Zhang in the FS. They skated beautifully, good flow, quite elegant. P/Z, on the other hand, were a hot mess. Yeah 4twist was great but they didn't even pretend to skate to the music and it looked like she was being dragged across the ice by him.
That said, I'm more impressed that Mt/M actually have that wow effect now. When we first saw this program, I didn't think they'd be able to truly fill an arena with it, and they've done so.
i'm glad that some of you share my opinion about pairs world-wide being a complete mess this season (minus V/T and S/S)
I'm actually really excited for the Zhang/Bartolomay partnership. The improved so much this season, and 4CC was a great experience for them...i'm excited to see what they do next season and beyond. Their programs lack intricacies and true difficulty right now, but what they are doing, is really good. as long as they stay together and don't rush towards success i think they could be a very good team.
Castelli/Schnapir are always fun to watch, and their lifts are gorgeous, but consistency and not having the best international track-record is an issue for them...we all know at this point that they have harder technical elements that they can do, but until they stop making small/silly mistakes, it's still not enough.
I always respect Duhamel/Radford for going for the hard stuff (and when they hit the lutzs it's always a reminder of what other pairs teams AREN'T doing), but i just don't find them interesting, and at times they look sloppy. obviously they benefit from the TES boost if they hit, and there's a maturity in their skating that isn't over-wrought...but i feel a little bit ho-hum when I watch them...like they just dont' stand out.
Switching subjects: I know this is off the wall, but I wonder if a good dance coach would take them on. I think Dance is much more innovative than the other disciplines now, and dance teams seem to have better carriage, choreography, steps, line... and DEFINITELY better pair spins than the pairs do. Yeah, I know we're supposed to call them "dance spins" but you get what I mean. In addition, dance lifts may lack some of the daring that pairs lifts do, but overall they're more inventive and interesting.
Wouldn't it be crazy to get someone like Marina to choreograph a program for them... just an awesome program with the tricks sprinkled in.
On the other hand, I didn't really like D/R's program either. They are trying something different artistically this year, but it's not clicking. The program feels sort of workmanlike; it doesn't sing. And trying for a more lyrical style is somehow highlighting their differences as skaters, rather than their pairs quality. Eric handles the sweeping, romantic movement rather well, but I don't see that as much with Meagan.
I enjoyed Zhang/Bartholomay quite a bit, but don't think they deserved to beat C/S. Z/B started off well, but the program got away from them a bit in the second half. Not only did they fall on the second throw, but also their pairs spin and final lift were well behind the music and needed to be rotating much faster. I think they did really well to get 4th, though. And I do like this team. They seem really well matched in most ways--their personalities work well together on ice--so I look forward to seeing more of them. Hopefully they'll get some GP assignments next year. My advice to them: Get away from Peterson and find a new coach who can help you develop artistically. Peterson IMO is almost as bad as Tom Z when it comes to stunting his skaters' artistic growth.
Program Components Explanations
I do agree that Z/B's program started very well but they seemed to have run out of steam in the second half.
I think they were more elegant than C/S, though. The huge height difference between Castelli and Shnapir really highlights their subpar posture and lines (his in particular). And I wasn't buying their program at all. I felt like it did have some in-character tango-ish movements but that was mostly posing here and there and it didn't flow well or work well as a whole.

The two Canadians teams just added their names into the mix for a world medal. B and L are coming back from injured and have sort of moved ahead of K and S - for now - and I am not so sure why K and S were dropped so abruptly. Pang and Tong with his injury and age are hugely questionable. The Italians are inconsistent. T and T are gone and even if they were skating were hit or miss. sui and han are coming back from injury so the door is open if eithe rteam can skate clean. They aren't all that special but such is life.

Victoria McGowan returned to the line-up Friday, but Jama Sharp stole the spotlight early.
Sharp scored 18 first-half points on 7-of-9 shooting as Stetson (1-2) defeated Florida A&M (1-1) 88-67 in the Hatters' home opener Friday night at the Edmunds Center.
The Hatters have now won 20 of their last 22 games at home dating back to January of 2011.
"I thought we played well, it was nice to win, and nice to be at home," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "We had a nice start, Jama Sharp hitting those four threes kind of opened up the game for us. I was just really pleased with our effort. We still have work to do and we have to get better in certain areas."
After being sidelined with an injury the last game and a half, McGowan scored 23 points and collected 12 rebounds while playing 33 minutes. It was her 17th career 20+ point game and her 10th career double-double. She also added seven assists and five steals.
"Victoria does everything, she is just a great player," Bria said. "The worst thing that happened for our opponent was that she had to sit out a game and a half because she came out like a warrior, like it was her first game ever. I thought she did a really good job of handling the press and finding her open teammates. She made a lot of great passes."
Sharp got the Hatters off to a blistering start, connecting on back-to-back three-pointers in the first 65 seconds of the game. Stetson went on to hit seven of its first eight shots from the floor en route to an 18-13 lead less than five minutes into the ball game.
The Rattlers battled back and took a one point lead on a three-pointer by Kimberly Sparkman with 6:43 remaining in the half.
"Florida A&M is a good team, they are scrappy, and they really gave us problems early in the game," Bria said.
The lead didn't last long as Shanasa Sanders answered with a three of her own. She then forced a FAMU turnover that led to an uncontested lay-up by Sharp, and the Hatters were back ahead by four.
Stetson finished the half on a 6-0 run, capped by two lay-ups by McGowan, to take a 46-38 lead into the locker room.
Stetson quickly extended the lead in the second half. Another McGowan lay-up at the 18:24 mark put Stetson ahead by 10, and C.J. Coddington converted a steal into a fastbreak bucket to give Stetson a commanding 65-45 lead with 11 minutes remaining.
Sanders (15) and Cherisse Burris (12) also scored in double figures for the Hatters.
Jasmine Grice led the Rattlers with 19 points.
The Hatters will travel to Tallahassee to take on Florida State on Sunday at 2 p.m. The Seminoles are 2-0 and receiving votes in the AP Top 25 poll. The audio broadcast of the game can be heard for free on HatterVision, or on the radio via WJTV 1490 AM in DeLand or WSBB 1230 AM in New Smyrna Beach (myam1230.com).
Notes: Stetson outscored Florida A&M 46-16 in the paint and 10-2 on fastbreak points … Janelle Mills became the 26th player in school history to play in 100 career games … Neither team missed a free throw in the first half (FAMU 13-13, Stetson 2-2) … McGowan moved up to 16th on Stetson's all-time scoring list … Sasha Sims recorded a block for the seventh straight game ... Stetson leads the Atlantic Sun with 23 three-point field goals ... Sharp's seven field goals was a career-high.

Lemme is an abreviation of "let me". Although used mostly in text, this vocal verbatim is a key component of the language of modern youths. Since the pronounciation of "let me" requires too many syllables, lemme has become an accepted form of expressing this action.

Record-breaking cold gripped the East Coast for most of the winter months. The rest of the country experienced unseasonably warm weather spikes and early tornadoes, while Australia suffered from wildfires and another 1,000 year flood.
Climate change has scientists studying how changing patterns are going to impact people, wildlife and biodiversity. Many species, like the American Pica, a small alpine mammal highly vulnerable to warmer temperatures, are predicted to face possible extinction from global warming. But other creatures and some insects are already adapting and doing quite well in a warming world.
Bark beetles thrive in higher temperatures.
A report referenced in Science Daily explains that throngs of bark beetles have bored their way through more than 6 billion trees in the western US and British Columbia since the 1990s. Populations of the destructive tree-killers have increased to epidemic proportions in a warmer climate and dead trees have fueled progressively more wildfires each year throughout the Pacific Northwest and Canada.
However, scientists have discovered that one of the most dangerous ramifications of beetle-infested trees is that they inject 20 times more volatile organic compounds into the air than healthy trees. Beetles bore holes for the purpose of laying their eggs and the tree's natural defense system releases the unhealthy and pollution-causing chemicals.
Increasing floods combined with warmer weather will increase mosquito-borne diseases.
According to a study done at Yale School of Public Health, global warming may increase the infection rates of mosquito-borne diseases by creating a more mosquito-friendly habitat. Warming weather and more historic floods, heavy rainfall and superstorms are likely to increase rates of malaria, Lyme disease, Tuberculosis and dengue, a debilitating viral disease found in tropical areas and transmitted by mosquito bites.
"The environmental changes wrought by global warming will undoubtedly result in major ecologic changes that will alter patterns and intensity of some infectious diseases," said Gerald Friedland, professor of medicine and epidemiology and public health at the Yale School of Medicine.
In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency states that disease-causing pathogens are transmitted through animals like deer, birds, rodents and insects and that climate change may be altering the natural habits of such transmitters. A hotter, steamier planet is certain to allow diseases to proliferate in response to changes in water levels, heat and air quality. Gastrointestinal distress will take on a whole new level.
Hotter temperatures could force rat snakes to become night stalkers.
Snakes are ectotherms, meaning that a snake's body temperature is regulated by its environment.
A study by scientists at University of Illinois found that rat snakes appear to be increasingly active at night to avoid blazing daytime temperatures. In future years, such a change may cause an explosion in their population because they will be less vulnerable to their natural predators, which are hawks and small carnivores.
Rat snakes were chosen for the study, because they have a broad geographical range and there are numerous subspecies of the non-venomous reptile.
The study showed that rat snakes in Canada, Illinois and Texas would all benefit from global warming. "It would actually make the environment thermally better for them," said lead researcher, Patrick Weatherhead.
Scientists concede that more research will be done on how climate change will impact people, pathogens and wildlife.
Nonetheless, it appears that mankind's existence on a warming planet will be plagued with increased gastrointestinal disease, thriving insects and prolific reptiles along with a yearly onslaught of devastating climate events.
No word yet on how heat will benefit fire ants, cockroaches and termites.

Of The Post and Courier staff
The excavation of the Confederate submarine Hunley may
end next week before all the artifacts in the vessel can be recovered.
Project manager Bob Neyland said Tuesday that archaeologists
likely will have to come back to three silted areas in the sub in the summer or fall.
They include the front and rear sections of the crew compartment
where some of the propeller, steering and diving mechanics are, and under a wooden bench
where the crew sat.
Archaeologists think there might be storage boxes buried beneath
the bench with some of the crew's personal items. If so, the boxes will be X-rayed.
The excavation is scheduled to wind down next week. Some team
members have other commitments.
Neyland said there is still a chance sub commander Lt. George
Dixon's lucky gold coin could be found in the next few days if he did indeed bring it on
board with him. Work is proceeding to remove Dixon's remains from the heavily concreted
front section of the sub.
The work also has slowed down greatly because of the tight
conditions. "We've reached a point where only one person at a time can work in Grid
One," Neyland said.

Cherie Lias first turned to the University at Buffalo's Educational Opportunity Center in 1995 to prepare for the GED exam, and she returned for the registered medical assistant program last fall after being out of work for four years.
The Buffalo resident can't say enough about the value of the center's career-boosting programs, but she readily admits that its longtime home in downtown Buffalo is showing its age.
That's why Lias is thrilled that the EOC is moving this summer to brand-new digs on the edge of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
"The new building is awesome. It's state of the art. It's airy. It's wonderful," said Lias, 48, of Buffalo.
UB this morning is unveiling the new $26 million, 68,000-square-foot EOC facility at Ellicott and Goodell streets.
Officials say the new structure will better serve the 1,900 low-income students who receive vocational training and exam-preparation courses through the EOC each year, with enhanced technology and a foothold on the Medical Campus to boost the center's allied health programs.
"To see it come to fruition is really nice," said Debra E.J. Thompson, the EOC's director of instructional services, a 25-year employee who helped in the building's planning.
UB's EOC – one of a network of centers across the state – has been operated out of 465 Washington St. since it opened 40 years ago.
Its 80 or 90 faculty and staff members serve nearly 2,000 students annually who don't pay tuition but must meet income, academic and state residency requirements to be eligible.
The EOC prepares students for college and civil service exams and offers certification courses for dental assistants, medical technicians and a variety of other jobs.
Lias entered the medical assistant program at the urging of her daughter, Tierra Jones, who went through it a year earlier, and she hopes to get a job in a doctor's office or at a hospital.
Lias has been out of work since she was overwhelmed by the violent deaths of two of her sons – Antonio Jones, who was shot, and Ernest Jones II, who was stabbed – just months apart in 2008 and 2009. Returning to the EOC, she said, "was my way of getting my life back together."
She gave an address at her graduation ceremony last month, and she will speak at today's news conference.
The cutting-edge technology built into the new facility, including improved wireless and broadband Internet, is the biggest change from Washington Street, said Julius Gregg Adams, the EOC's executive director.
Each classroom will have an interactive whiteboard, connected to a computer, and the library will be more digitally focused. Adams said the enhanced technology will let the EOC explore offering online courses. "The goal is to move in that direction," he said.
The location of the new building should boost the center's allied health programs, which are meant to position students to find work at the Medical Campus.
As an example of the links between the center and the campus, EOC faculty members teach a class at Roswell Park Cancer Institute on introductory Spanish for health care workers that serves EOC students and institute employees. "Part of my job is reaching out to Kaleida, Catholic Health, Roswell Park, to see if there are ways we can partner," Adams said. Beyond geography, just being in a new building will mean a lot to EOC students, said Thompson, who worked as an part-time instructor and a full-time faculty member before taking her administrative position with the center. "It's such an attitude change," she said.
The new building at 555 Ellicott St. is linked through a glass atrium to the UB Downtown Gateway Building, 77 Goodell St., which opened in 2009 in the former M. Wile building and houses programs including the school's Office of Government and Community Relations.
UB announced plans for the new EOC facility in 2007, touting it as a major investment in downtown Buffalo, and construction began in 2010. The university has since opened a Clinical and Translational Research Center on the Medical Campus and announced plans to move its Medical School there.
The EOC will move its staff and programs to the energy-efficient building designed by Holt Architects in stages, starting later this month and wrapping up in August.
"As we move forward in building a strong, knowledge-based economy in our region," UB President Satish K. Tripathi said in a statement, "this state-of-the-art collaborative learning environment will play a key role in expanding the educational and vocational opportunities that will come with this innovation economy."

While considering a few topics for future columns, I received a question from a reader on the subject of garden tools, and so here is your answer, Penny, buried in a lot more words.
The tools we use in the garden affect our work to a large extent. Well-chosen tools make digging, weeding, trimming and all the other tasks we perform easier, or they impede our ongoing efforts to keep things in order.
Generally, you get what you pay for.
Cheap tools will bend and break with hard use and probably will be discarded at the end of the year, while the investment in a good, quality item surely will pay off in long and productive life.
So, what tools are really necessary? The first one that comes to mind is the spade/shovel, and this is on my mind because I was driven to the dictionary to settle a difference of opinion. And I found I was wrong, and had been for all my gardening lifetime.
A shovel is "a flattened tool with a handle and a somewhat flattened scoop for picking up dirt, snow or the like," while a spade is a "digging tool with a flat, iron blade."
So my treasured spade handed down from my sister-in-law's mother, and probably a hundred years old, is actually a shovel.
Whatever its name, a shovel needs to be kept as clean as possible, and a dip in the rain barrel after use is effective. The edge should be sharpened at least once a year, using a file or whetstone. Wipe some motor oil or WD-40 on the edge and file away by using long, even strokes. Then file the opposite side just enough to smooth it out. The wooden handle will appreciate a wipe with linseed oil before winter storage.
I have several trowels because I mislay them frequently. My current favorite is stainless steel and fairly large. It is in constant use for planting, weeding and cultivating, and I wouldn't be without it.
Fortunately, it has never stayed lost for too long. Which makes me think a stainless steel shovel would be wonderful, but very expensive.
A three-pronged hand fork is useful, especially when the ground is as hard as it is now. It loosens the soil and allows precious water to soak in further. A hand weeder is similar, but angled spikes go into the soil. These hand tools have various and interchangeable names that do not matter. A specialized tool for removing dandelions and similar deep-rooted weeds is useful.
Pruners are a necessity, and I carry mine with me when I take the dogs for their early-morning walk around the garden. There is always something that needs snipping, and I invariably end up with a handful of twigs, unwanted redbud seedlings and tough weeds.
Again, it is worth the money to buy good ones. Unfortunately, I need to have two of them on hand. ( See "trowel" above.) For trees and shrubs, you probably will need long-handled pruners or loppers for thicker branches.
I rarely use my hoe because I do all my weeding on my knees with the help of my garden seat/stool/kneeler. But the years are starting to catch up with me, and I should start to get used to a hoe and save my aching back.
There are other tools you may like, including a rake, leaf rake, garden fork and, of course, there are numerous varieties available, as well as power tools that make work lighter.
But the only other one I use is an old steak knife (four or five of them, actually); it is the best thing to get at those rosette-shaped weeds that are so hard to get hold of.
The knife just angles into the soil and slices off the root, and then you can dig it out with the tip.
So there you are. Buy the best you can afford, keep them clean and sharp and, most of all, do as I say and not as I do.

The director of a proposed movie about the Buffalo Bills toured Ralph Wilson Stadium on Thursday and visited other local sites with a location scout.
Ivan Reitman, best known for directing "Ghostbusters" and "Stripes," was also seen with Tim Clark, director of the Buffalo Niagara Film Commission, who declined official comment. A spokesman with the Bills confirmed the tour and said Reitman also met team CEO Russell Brandon.
The "Draft Day" screenplay, by Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman, tells the story of a Bills general manager who has the first overall pick in the National Football League draft. He spends draft day making deals in an attempt to improve the team and restore the franchise to its former standing.
Kevin Costner, who has been in his share of popular sports films, including "Field of Dreams" and "Bull Durham," reportedly has signed on to play the fictitious Bills general manager.
Whether the film is made here, sources say, will depend on whether decison-makers at Lionsgate Films, which acquired the rights to the movie from Paramount Pictures, consider it economically prudent to produce it in Western New York. A shortage of union crew members and filmmaking infrastructure often make it more costly to do so.
"Draft Day" was recently resuscitated from a list of Hollywood's top unproduced screenplays, according to the Hollywood Reporter. It received the most votes – by a wide margin – out of 78 films in an industry survey of nearly 300 Hollywood executives. Past films from the compiled list of undeveloped films that were later made include Academy Award winners "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The King's Speech."

Chances are good that we will see more deals. Its a way of reducing excess inventory without officially lowering the price. As long as the economy is slow, Canon is going to have surpluses.
I paid $3499 in full for my 5D3 a couple months ago. I don't feel sour towards these new lower prices at all.
I ordered one Sunday and got a message Sunday night. saying that a UPS label had been generated. A tracking number was included. I saw somewhere in the Adorama messages that orders placed on Sunday would be sent out before the holiday. Unfortunately, my order apparently did not make it out of the building before they locked the doors and went home. UPS says they still have not received the package. Good thing I have plenty of cameras to use while I wait!Has anyone else been watching their tracking number?
Quote from: ScottyP on September 16, 2012, 06:38:14 PMMaybe B&H will respond with $2,699.00. Price war!I think it is possible. Again, I´d like to thank libertyranger, the guy who posted the first link. It was a party!The last 100 orders:http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidsLogin&_trksid=p2047675.l2564&rt=nc&item=390468355036I am waiting new offers like this. Afterall, I will have to buy the lenses
Maybe B&H will respond with $2,699.00. Price war!
Has anyone else been watching their tracking number?
Adorama has sold 818 5D Mark III's on ebay alone, which has netted them well over $2,400,000!.. not too shabby.. 100 5D3's were sold alone in the last 9 or so hours of that sale!! and that was when everyone was likely sleeping.
Everyone will just wait for the next.

Myrtle Beach, SC – The Stetson University golf teams finished the second day of the GolfWeek Program Challenge with improved scores and positioning heading into Tuesday's final round of play.
The Stetson women made the biggest improvement, shaving eight shots off their score from Sunday's round of 318. Monday's 310 moved the Hatters up three spots in the field of 12 teams into eighth place. Stetson is just six shots behind Western Carolina for sixth in the field.
The Hatters were led by junior Ryan Ashburn, who fired a one-over par 73 on Monday, a nine stroke improvement over her opening round. Ashburn (82-73=155) is tied for 20th overall in the field, three shots outside the top 15.
Stetson's Sammi Smith (76-80=156) is tied for 26th, Claudia Redinger (79-79=158) is tied for 32nd, Mallory Viera (81-80=161) is tied for 41st and Jenna Hoecker (86-78=164) is in 52nd place.
On the men's side, the Hatters followed an opening round score of 298 with a one shot improvement. All five players for Stetson have been consistent with their play, with an overall scoring average of 75.2.
The Hatters' trio of freshmen are leading the way for Stetson. Michael Primavera (71-74=145) is two over par for the tournament, tied for 20th place. Fellow freshmen Dustin Dingus (75-73=148) is three shots back. Andrew Peterson (76-74=150) improved by two shots with his second round performance.
Juniors Matt Taylor (76-76=152) and Tyler White (79-78=157) have been consistent with their play through two rounds.
Defending event champion Campbell University leads both the men's and women's fields. The Camels (282-290=572) are four-under par as a team on the men's side, and hold a two shot lead over Jacksonville State (290-284=290-284). Both James Madison (281-295=576) and Troy (296-281=577) are within striking distance entering the final day of play.
On the women's side, the Camels (286-288=574) have a commanding lead over second place Central Arkansas (304-298=602) with James Madison (302-303=605) and Boston College (300-305=605) tied for third.
The top individual players so far in the women's tournament are Troy's Sofia Bjorkman (67-75=142) and Central Arkansas' Julia Roth (71-71=142), both at even par. Players from Campbell hold down five of the next eight positions on the leader board.
The men's individual field is led by Trey Smith of James Madison at five-under par (68-67=135). He has a two shot lead over Gran Houser (68-69=137) of Campbell and a four-shot advantage over Jacksonville State's Tomasz Anderson (70-69=139) and Austen Moix of Central Arkansas (71-68=139).
The Stetson men will open play in the final round at 8:20 a.m. on Tuesday, starting from the back nine of the True Blue Course. The Hatters are paired with players from Georgetown and Northern Iowa.
The Stetson women will get started at 7:30 a.m. from the back nine at Caledonia, and are paired with Georgetown and Austin Peay State.

An Elvis impersonator has sent poison in a letter to the president.
It is about time that Congress appoints a committee to study the relationship of Elvis impersonators to violence in America. Are they represented more in maximum security prisons than are the general population? Is there something in the Presleyterian theology that incites to aggressive behavior? Is this a group that attracts aberrant personalities? Are Elvis impersonators with 10 songs on their karaoke CDs inherently more dangerous if they have 30 songs?
What should I do to protect myself and my family if an Elvis impersonator moves next door? These are serious questions for serious problems here in America.
Parents should consider how their children should react if someone at a party puts on an Elvis song. Could it be that we are facing a new wave of Elvis-inspired hip-swinging radicals? Imagine the shame of someone picking your child out of a line-up of anti-government weirdos.
These are trying times, and it is about time we lobby our government to protect us from Elvis impersonators.

The Oscar-winning actor, 54, scolded an audience member Wednesday during the opening night of his one-man show, Clarence Darrow, when a ringing cell phone blasted through London's Old Vic theater during a pivotal stage speech.
"If you don't answer that, I will!" Spacey pointedly said in character, reports the Independent newspaper, after the guilty party failed to silence the phone quickly. (The audience clearly appreciated the unscripted line, which was met with loud applause.)
The House of Cards star, who is wrapping up a 10-yeat stint as the Old Vic's artistic director, is not the only performer to call out an audience member for bad behavior.
In April, Neil Patrick Harris stayed in character yet made his annoyance apparent when a female audience member yelled out "I love you, Neil" while he was performing the title role in Broadway's Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
"Who's Neil? I'm not Neil," he first replied, before adding, "I'm doing something up here, motherf–––." (In the context of the show, this isn't as confrontational as it might seem.)
Also adhering to the rules of theater attendance? James McAvoy, who halted a performance of Macbeth in London's West End last year. The actor shouted at an audience member who was filming the show without permission, reports the Telegraph.
But leave it to Broadway diva Patti LuPone to top them all.
In 2009, she dramatically stopped a Broadway performance of Gypsy for more than two minutes to berate someone in the audience for snapping photos. She demanded the offender be removed from the premises, then thanked the rest of the audience for abiding by the rules before transforming back into character of stage mother supreme, Mama Rose.
Later that year, LuPone made a similar move in Vegas when she caught someone snapping photos of her while performing "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" from Evita – and later defended her actions to The New York Times.

Comptroller should withdraw funds from losing investment
The New York State attorney general and comptroller are gaining steady public support in their opposition to the governor's plans to include high-volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in the state's energy portfolio. Even the governor's recent State of the State address seemed to indicate that he may back off of hydrofracking, and instead invest in wind, solar and bio-gas in conjunction with localized energy transmission infrastructure, which may prove to be resilient against the next superstorm.
Enter the comptroller. With the triple threat of environmental issues – agricultural water usurpation and pollution; the recent surge in public awareness of the frailties in our energy infrastructure; and a glut of hydrofracked domestic gas, so low in prices that bulk sales overseas have been proposed to raise local demand (so much for energy independence) – it may be time for Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli to pull state retirement funds from a losing investment.
This should place the last nail in the coffin of recalcitrant builders who attempt a foot in the door by building gas transport infrastructure in local jurisdictions too spooked by the threat of lawsuits to jump the gun on a statewide ban.

Drivetrains in GTA IV
Redirected from Drivetrains in GTA 4
this wiki
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the way a car's drivetrain and engine are set up can have a drastic effect on occasions such as police chases and enemy gang wars (escaping, for example). This section will break down the different drivetrains along with the cars so you don't need to.
Front Wheel Drive
Front wheel drive (FWD) is when a car's engine power is channeled to the front wheels. FWD cars cost a lot less than other drivetrain types because of less moving parts. There are only a handful of FWD cars in GTA IV. In addition, front egine, front wheel drive (FF) cars tend to have understeer when accelerating mid-turn, because accelerating causes the weight of the vehicle to shift onto the rear axle, resulting in decreased acceleration and decreased steering ability.
Rear Wheel Drive
Rear wheel drive (RWD) is when a car's engine power is sent to the rear wheels. RWD cars tend to be more expensive because they tend to have higher horsepower and more moving parts. Front-engine, rear wheel drive (FR) drivetrain layouts are commonly used in drifting, other rear wheel drive configurations are used in oval racing, circuit racing and drag racing. There are a lot of RWD cars in GTA IV.
Four Wheel Drive/ All Wheel Drive
Four wheel drive/ All wheel drive (4WD/AWD respectively) is when the engine power is transferred to all four wheels of a car. Acceleration is usually great but sometimes less than FWD cars because the model may have a lower power-to-mass ratio. Still, it provides great acceleration, great offroad capabilities, and the ability to climb rocks, walls, etc. In theory, it is the best drivetrain layout because the effects of understeer and oversteer counterbalance each other. In practise, 4WD/AWD vehicles tend to suffer greater drivetrain power losses due to the increased weight and parts, sometimes resulting in an overall decrease in performance.
Note that a few AWD cars may have uneven torque distribution (e.g. 30% front, 70% rear). This will affect acceleration, handling and drifting capabilities. Greater front torque distribution causes characteristics of FWD vehicles to show through, while greater rear torque distribution causes characteristics of RWD vehicles.
- Comet (20% front 80% rear)
- Infernus (20% front 80% rear)
- Police Stinger (20% front 80% rear)
- Sultan (40% front 60% rear)
- Sultan RS (30% front 70% rear)
- Vincent (40% front 60% rear)

Throw out Friday�s lopsided result in West Chester, Pa., and the Fort Lewis College women�s lacrosse program learned a valuable lesson on their East Coast swing through Pennsylvania.
�We played some very good teams,� FLC head coach Kelsey MacDonald said Saturday. �What�s frustrating is we competed out here, which is great, but now we have to start winning those games.�
FLC lost 9-8 in overtime to the Millersville Marauders on Saturday in Millersville, Pa., one day after being on the wrong end of a 20-3 rout to No. 3 West Chester in West Chester, Pa. FLC started the road trip with a 10-9 win over Chestnut Hill on Thursday in Plymouth Meeting, Pa.
FLC led Millersville 8-3, then allowed six unanswered goals to lose.
�It was just one of those games where we played great for 90 percent, but the other 10 percent we let up, made some silly mistakes, and the other team capitalized,� MacDonald said.
Alyssa Spencer, the Skyhawks� freshman goalie from Durango High School, �played a great game, made some amazing saves,� said MacDonald, who also praised the Skyhawks� defense.
�We lost it in the midfield transition,� she said.
Kathryn Dunn and Abby Kvidera scored two goals each for FLC. Jessica Norby had a goal and an assist. Marissa DiCecco, Ellie Carpenter and Brook Wineland each scored a goal, and Toki Tajima-Prodnuk had an assist.
FLC (3-3, 2-1 WILA) will host McKendree in a Western Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association game at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Ray Dennison Memorial Field on the FLC campus, the Skyhawks� home opener. However, MacDonald said the game potentially could be moved to Alamosa because of the weather.

SPRING CREEK, Nev. – No. 41 came much like the previous 40.
The Truckee football team used its suffocating defense to extend its winning streak to 41 games Friday with a 34-3 victory against Spring Creek.
It was tough sledding all night for the Spartan offense, which had a tough time getting first downs, let alone sustain drives, against the three-time defending state champions. Spring Creek (2-3) earned exactly one first down in the first half and didn't do much better in the final two quarters.
"(Truckee) is good," said Spring Creek coach Joel Jund. "They've been doing it for years and (Friday) was no different. They are great defensively and that is why they are great."
The line of scrimmage was dominated by Truckee's defense and Spring Creek's ground attack was limited to short gains most of the night. The Spartans rushed the ball 39 times, but had just 87 yards to show for it.
Spring Creek's defense did a respectable job, limiting the Wolverines' ability to make big plays. But Truckee still had enough firepower on that side of the ball to accumulate 381 total yards.
Truckee (4-0) put the ball in the air 28 times and passed for 193 yards and Graham Christian led the ground attack with 91 rushing yards.
The Wolverines, however, didn't need all that much offense to put this game out of reach with the way they played defense.
"Defensively (Truckee) is awesome," Jund said. "They just play. They hit you and it's tough to get a first down. When you get a first down, you want to get the ball out of there and keep it. … We need to be more consistent if we want to win some of these games coming up. We've just got to find that right combination of run/throw."
While Spring Creek's offense struggled, the Spartans' defense and special teams had moments of brilliance. Cory Beach and Bo Weber both grabbed interceptions in the second half and Spring Creek's punt team recovered a muffed punt in the first half.
Also, Spring Creek's lone score came on a 33-yard Colby Patton field goal as time expired at the end of the game.
But the game belonged to Truckee. The Wolverines scored three rushing touchdowns – 13- and 31-yard runs by Christian and a 3-yard scamper by Austin Vance – quarterback Erik Holmer connected with tight end Zak Pettit for a 77-yard touchdown pass and Tyler Griffin streaked down the sideline for a 60-yard score on a punt return.
The loss sets Spring Creek back in the standings as the second half of the season looms. The Spartans have another tough game next week as they travel to Fallon. With three losses, Spring Creek can't afford too many more slip-ups if it wants to find a place in the postseason.

5 Awful Things Nobody Tells You About Being an Actor
#2. Your Faith Will Be Exploited
Acting requires about as much faith as religious fanaticism. Performers rely on directors and editors like zealots rely on God; both of them are just doing their best and hoping that the higher powers don't make them look like an idiot in the end. Actress Rosalind Russell once said, "Acting is standing up naked and turning around very slowly." The point being, actors have to play pretend so earnestly that an audience is willing to forget that it's really just someone standing in front of a green screen, reacting to a water weenie.
That's Faith.
As an actor, you also have to trust implicitly that writers, directors and editors have your best interest at heart. And generally speaking, they don't. Actors have an arguably deserved reputation for being kind of shitty people. Anyone making a movie, particularly a low-budget or non-union film, will try to interact with the talent as little as possible for fear that they'll want something. In addition, a director has a thousand other things to worry about than whether or not an actor looks completely ridiculous. The consequence, however, is far more severe for you than anyone else. You are the one immortalized on camera with a crying face that looks eerily similar to a pooping face, or while wearing nothing but a dress that is subtly but irrefutably see-through under set lights.
Even if you luck into a film, commercial or show that does well and of which you are proud to be a part, the saddest truth of all is still to come ...
#1. You Won't Make Enough Money to Live On
Among the miniscule number of actors who actually book jobs, there is an even tinier fraction of people who manage to make a living doing it. First, there is the matter of digging yourself out of a hole of expenses. The costs surrounding a struggling actor can seem almost like a malicious scheme to take money from naive, handsome people. I've already mentioned that headshots cost hundreds of dollars, but you'll need one for commercials, and one for dramas, and one for vampire movies, and one for sports stories. Ultimately, you will have around five different headshots of which you will need to print hundreds. On top of that, you can expect to do the whole process over again in three years when you no longer look like the person in the picture.
You can also prepare to sink around $60 a week into parking tickets. This will obviously vary from city to city, but in Los Angeles, there isn't a reliable public transportation system to get you everywhere you need to go for auditions. Driving is the only option, and metered parking is ubiquitous. An audition can take anywhere from 10 minutes to two hours, so you never really know how much time you'll need, and you can't run out in the middle of an audition to feed the meter. So be prepared to collect at least one parking ticket a week.
"Hahaha. Fuck you for following your dreams."
Lastly, when you do finally get a job that pays you actual money, you will owe around 15 percent of that to a manager and 10 percent of it to an agent, all before taxes. These are the people responsible for getting you auditions and, ironically, ensuring that you aren't screwed over once you book a job. Add actual taxes to that and your take is less than 50 percent of whatever dollar amount appears in the contract. So, assuming you are doing a SAG Ultra-Low Budget shoot because you aren't a member of the union yet, you will probably be paid around $100 a day, of which you will actually take home about $40, or roughly the price of a Greyhound ticket back home.
