DTM 2011 - Bruno Spengler takes pole position for 4th time, Mercedes has 5 out of the first 6 start positions for Norisring
This is the second straight qualifying pole position for the Canadian Bruno Spegler. Unfortunately, the pole position in the previous race didn't transfer into a victory with him finishing in 3rd place. Audi finishing 1-2 in the previous race has tightened things up with Audi's Tomczyk taking over first in the drivers standings from Spengler. Mercedes is still in first in the team standings, barely.
Mercedes will have 5 out of the first 6 starting positions for the race.
Bruno Spengler (Mercedes-Benz Bank AMG C-Class) - pole position (48.222):
Im very happy with my performance today. The lap times on this circuit are incredibly close, and its really important to start from pole here. I was already into a good rhythm during free practice, and if we can show the same pace in the race, Im in with a very good chance of claiming my third win at the Norisring.
Gary Paffett (THOMAS SABO AMG Mercedes C-Cass) - second (48.418):
Of course, I would prefer to be on pole, but second place is a very good result. My times were improving all the way through qualifying and my THOMAS SABO AMG Mercedes C-Class performed very well. I like the track and hope to have a good race.
Jamie Green (AMG Mercedes C-Class) - third (48.532):
Things werent quite perfect in the practice session this morning, but my car performed very well in qualifying itself a big thank you to the entire team. Im pleased with my third place. As for the race, I expect to be in with a good chance of securing what would be my fourth victory in a row at the Norisring.
Ralf Schumacher (Salzgitter AMG Mercedes C-Class) - fifth (48.124):
It was very close in qualifying. Its a pity that I didnt make it into the top four, but we had a difficult day on Friday and I had very little track time, so Im glad that today went so well. It could have been much worse. We still have a good chance starting from fifth position.
Maro Engel (GQ AMG Mercedes C-Class) - sixth (48.189):
Sixth is a great result. The team did a fantastic job and my C-Class was working really well. For a while there, I thought I might make it through to the fourth segment, but then the other drivers stepped up a gear. Qualifying was a lot of fun and Im now looking forward to the race.

Anastasia's RelativeSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Mrs. Smith had flown all the way from Idaho to sit at this outdoor cafe in Russia and attempt to prove to a duchess that she was the lost princess Anastasia (which she, of course, was not). It seemed to be going well, when the duchess named a member of the former royal family and asked what relation he was to Anastasia. Mrs. Smith froze.
As it so happened, one of her friends was working at the cafe and he had agreed to listen and see if he could help her. He knew the answer, and though he could not talk to Mrs. Smith, write her a note, or make any obvious gestures, he got the message across. Mrs. Smith answered correctly, but later messed up when she agreed to give a blood sample (different puzzle).
Your question is, how did the friend tell Mrs. Smith who the relative was?
HintThe relative was Anastasia's father.
The friend was not a waiter.
Mrs. Smith knew a little something about music.
AnswerThe friend was in the small orchestra playing at the outdoor cafe. Between the pieces, he played three notes that, to anyone else, would sound just like tuning, but Mrs. Smith realized they were D-A-D.

Bible Heroines Bookends - Bat Mitzvah Gift
For the Bat Mitzvah girl who loves to read, and who you want to see be a reader for life. These bookends are handcrafted rolled copper in the shape of an open Torah set with silk-screened marble. The metal is then powder-coated for a more durable finish. You may commemorate a Bat Mitzvah by further personalizing your gift with the name and date of the event. In place of the names of Bible Heroines, you can order the Haftorah portion that is read at the Bat Mitzvah. This set features two bookends - one with an illustration of a Bat Mitzvah girl holding the Torah and your choice of one bookend with the names of Bible Heroines (in Hebrew and English). It makes a wonderful Bat Mitzvah or birthday gift. Commemorate further by personalizing your gift with the name and date of the event (added on a brass plaque under the illustration).

WKU professor to discuss expeditions to Mount Everest, Peru
|Date: Thursday, February 13th, 2014
WKU faculty member John All knows what it feels like to be on top of the world and will be sharing his research and mountain climbing expertise during a presentation on Feb. 26.
Dr. All, associate professor in WKU's Department of Geography and Geology and director of the American Climber Science Program, summited Mount Everest in 2010 and will be returning in mid-April for a two-month expedition.
He will be discussing his research expeditions to Mount Everest and Peru in "Science in the Death Zone: Studying Environmental Change in the Himalayas and Andes." The presentation will begin at 7 p.m. at Mass Media and Technology Hall Auditorium and is open to faculty, staff, students and the community.
Dr. All will be joined by University Photographer Clinton Lewis, who has accompanied Dr. All and his research team on 2011 and 2013 expeditions to Peru.
In the Himalayas, Andes, Alaskan Rockies and other locations, Dr. All and members of the ASCP have been studying the impacts of climate change on high-altitude mountain ranges such as reduced water supplies, lower water quality and altered seasonal patterns for agriculture.
"Mountains are cold and vulnerable," he said. "As conditions change, they are likely to be impacted."
In addition to discussing the research, Dr. All and Lewis want to encourage WKU students and others to take advantage of mountain research opportunities. Even though several WKU students are analyzing data from his research trips, Dr. All is hoping that some students will join future expeditions.
"We will be showing people what it's like climbing Everest or the Cordillera Blanca in Peru and living in those conditions," Dr. All said. "Maybe that will motivate some people to find out more."
Dr. All also will discuss the impact and opportunities provided by the Fulbright program. His 2010 summit of Mount Everest occurred while he was studying climate change in the Himalayas as part of a Fulbright Scholar program. (Dr. Cecile Garmon is president of the Kentucky Fulbright Association, housed at WKU.)
After he returns from Mount Everest in June, Dr. All will be leading another expedition to Peru this summer. And as part of the expedition to Everest, Dr. All will be blogging for Scientific American.

Invisible InkScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
There are two secret agents who want to send letters to one another but think that someone might try to read them. The first agent came up with an idea to send a letter to the other agent by writing with invisible ink. He then put the letter in his mailbox for delivery. When the other agent received the letter, he opened it and began to read its contents. How was it possible for the first agent to write with invisible ink and how was the other agent able to read it?
Answer1) The first agent wrote the letter with the liquid of a squeezed lemon (citric acid). When the paper is dried nothing can be noticed on the letter.
2) The other agent held the letter over a flame and did not touch it. The hidden ink (juice) becomes a reddish-brown color and the words can be clearly seen.

Radical RushLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Question Mark is the host of a new game show called "Radical Rush". It is a game of 4 rounds. A logic round, a rebus round, a mathematics round and a final face-off. One player is eliminated after each round, with the last player left being the winner. Each player is color-coded. Now you must work out the full names of the contestants, the age of the contestants, their color-code and which round they were eliminated in (and who won).
First names: David, Joanne, Richard, Xavier, Yvette
Last names: Bridge, Hall, Rade, Richburgh, Sands
Ages: 22, 24, 26, 29, 33
Color-codes: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange
Round Eliminated: Logic, Rebus, Maths, Face-off, Winner
Round 1 (LOGIC): This round was straight forward for Xavier, Miss Bridge and the player aged 29. The green player and the player aged 26 did not find this round as easy. It was a close call but in the end, the yellow player was eliminated.
Round 2 (REBUS): This round was slightly harder, however it was a walk in the park for Richard, who came in first place for this round. Yvette, Mr Rade and the red player did not find this round as easy. However, after she realised what she was doing wrong, The 22-year-old quickly took second place. Now it was just up to Xavier and the 29-year-old, however it was all over for Mr Rade.
Round 3 (MATHEMATICS): Once again, the difficulty level increases as the remaining three players try their math skills. No-one seemed to do particularly well here. The first place finisher was Miss Bridge. The battle for a spot in the Face-off was between Xavier and the green player. He put everything he knew into this round, however it wasn't enough to save Mr Hall, our unfortunate 33-year-old.
Face-off: Two players remain with the same goal: to become the very first winner of "Radical Rush". The 22-year-old and Mr Richburgh must race each-other in a maze. Whoever reaches the end first, wins the game. It was a race too close to call, however the red player was fast enough to steal victory from the very unfortunate orange player.
AnswerIn order of elimination:
ROUND 1: Logic
Joanne Sands, 26, Yellow
ROUND 2: Rebus
David Rade, 29, Blue
ROUND 3: Mathematics
Richard Hall, 33, Green
ROUND 4: Face-off
Yvette Bridge, 22, Orange
Xavier Richburgh, 24, Red
In round 1, we know that Xavier and Miss Bridge are not 26 and 29. Nor are they the green player. At the moment, it is unclear who the yellow player is.
It is not immediately clear who was eliminated from round 1. However we do know that Richard, Yvette and Xavier survived. We know that Richard is not Mr. Rade, because Mr Rade lost round 2, and Richard won.
In round 3, we find out that David was eliminated in round 2, because we know that Richard and Yvette made it to round 3, however we were unsure of Xavier. Although "Xavier and the green player" tells us that Xavier made it to round 3. It also tells us that Richard is the green player, and that Joanne is the yellow player and was eliminated in round 1, and tells us that Yvette is 22.
In the Face-off, we know that Yvette and one other player is left. That player could be Richard or Xavier. The player is red. We already know that Richard is green, so he was eliminated in round 3. However this doesn't tell us who the winner is. Well, in round 2, you can tell that Yvette is not the red player, so that means that she is the orange player and Xavier is red, and Xavier won.
You can also gather other clues with the information.

text: Honestly i dont think the absense of cena has that big of an effect. Sure kids love cena but my theory is that theyre arent as clued in as us smarks, so they really wouldnt be aware that hes going to be absent from the show. Even if they did, they still have brodus, ryder and santino that theyve presumably latched on to and theyre always on the show, so theyd still tune in to the program. The ratings always tank during football season, and i suspect its worse this year. The nfl seems more interesting this year for some reason. Whether it be replacement refs or coming off the heels of the bounty schedule or the fact that a lot of teams have stepped up and made damn near every game exciting, its been a lot of fun to watch. My honest opinion is that the nfl is delivering where the wwe is just the same old thing. And its not a bad thing. I still enjoy raw just as much as i did when i was a kid... and im 26 now. Football only runs till february so the ratings will pick up then. Or possibly sooner if the nfl falls into its same of groove of the same teams domimating every game and their product becomes predictable again.

LISA Forum 2010 was held in Crowne Plaza Hotel of SuZhou on June 28-30, 2010. It is my honor to give my presentation on "Globalization Support in Adobe Flash Platform" in my first attendence of the forum.
Because there is a local airport in SuZhou. The closest airport is in ShangHai, which is about 100km far way. All travellers who want to go to SuZhou by flight have to land in ShangHai, and switch the train to SuZhou. I don't like to take flight to travel, especially, I have to switch the traffic vehical, so I decided to take the train to SuZhou directly.
Because it was past the Dragon Boat Festival, and the college students have started their summer break, it is easy to get a train ticket. I bought my round-trip train tickets one week ahead, both are of sleeping car. The train leaves Beijing in the evening, and arrives SuZhou in the early morning, I can sleep in the train without reserving my hotel.
9:30PM, June 28, I took on the train D385 from Beijing to SuZhou. The train offers almost the same facilitates that are available in hotel. Each bed has a TV, a reading light, a pair of slippers, the clean sheet. I even found a power slot under the table.
The train arrived SuZhou Railway Station on time. It was a bit rainy. The weather was very hot and humid. SuZhou Railway Station is not as large as Beijing, and it was easy to find a taxi. The taxi took me to the conference venue quickly.
The hotel locates in SuZhou Industry Science Park. It is built in the side of a lake. The whole building looks like a huge ship. The conference hadn't started, when I arrived, so I took a rest in the lobby.
The meeting started at 9:00AM. The chairman of LISA, Mr. Michael Anbile, welcomed the attendees in his open speech. He emphasised the change that happened in China, and the focum of this year was named as "LISA 2010 China Focus".
The next speaker was from the host of this forum – Ms. Daisy Gao, the president of SuZhou Industry & Science Park (SIS Park). Ms. Gao welcomed the attendees to SuZhou, and introduced the roadmap of SIS Park, and the advantages of SuZhou on software development and outsourcing.
Next, the senior VP of hiSoft, Ms. Sarah Bajc gave the presentation about cloud computing and its impact to globalization. It was a very new topic to me, because I had never thought about the globalization requirement for cloud yet.
My presentation was schedule at 1:30PM. My topic is about globalization support in Adobe Flash Platform. This is a very technical topic for engineers. From the topics in the morning, I noticed that all topics were focusing the high level discussion. I started to worry about if I brought a right topic that people would be interested in.
Before my presentation started, my colleague, Mr. Dirk Meyer, came to me and asked me if I was nervous. I told him I was not. I had given presentations to different audiences on technical training sessions and Sun TechDay conferences. Today, my topic was a familiar area and it was just my daily work, why nervous? But I did appreciate Dirk's great help and support. He spent a lot of time to review my slides, and gave me many valuable comments. He even helped me on checking my spelling. He told me that he would stay in the last row of my session, and I could ask for his help wheneven I needed.
The number of audience was about 40. That was 40% of total audience. It seemed that my topic was not so boring.
The whole presentation was delivered well, because I had written down the words that I planned to say, and practiced for several times. The only problem was the time was a bit tight. A 40-minute session was definitely not enough for me to present many thing in detail. I had to mention them very briefly.
When I completed my presentation and was going to leave, a couple of attendees came to me. They told me that they liked my presentation. One of them is the globalization engineering manager from Trend Technologies. She came from NanJing. Another one was Mr. David Chen from Facebook globalization team. David was very glad that I came from Beijing, because he had stayed in Beijing for many years, before he moved to US. From our talking, I was surprised that David was a heart surgery doctor in Gerenal Hospital of Chinese Navy, and he was managing the community translation at Facebook. David introduced how Facebook was attracting the community translators, and managing their translation contribution with a complicated process, including translation, suggestion, review, vote and approval. Every participant could get the recognation and promotion in the community, as long as he contributed the high quality and big volume translation. With the help from the process, every community contributor enjoyed their work. Under the support from community, Facebook had been translated into 70+ languages. It was expected that Facebook could be localized into 100+ languages in the future.
From his introduction, I realized that Facebook had a very deep understand to community culture, though Facebook is still a very young company. And at the same time, Adobe hasn't found out what the sprit of community was, though Adobe has been promoting the community and offering the best translation tools for community people.

Welcome to our live election coverage, bringing you the latest reaction to the Tories winning an unexpected majority – taking 331 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons.
Labour's Ed Miliband, the Liberal Democrats' Nick Clegg and the UK Independence party's Nigel Farage have all resigned as leaders of their respective parties. Clegg, deputy PM for the last five years, hung on to his seat but his party lost all but eight of its MPs. Farage failed to win the seat he was contesting.

Team Giada: Down to Fourby Sara Levine in Food Network Star, May 29, 2012
Team Giada held strong in the first two episodes. Week one, Josh Lyons made it successfully through the pitch room, and then the team took home a win in week two's food tour challenge. Giada still had all five of her finalists going into week three — but not for long.
After ending up in the bottom of the Chopped desserts challenge, Josh faced the Producers' Challenge once again, and this time Giada's pitch-room plea wasn't enough to save him from elimination. Bob and Susie thought that as the front man of a rock band, Josh would be more comfortable in the spotlight, but he continued to stumble over his presentations. "I think he's talented," said Giada. "I just don't know that he was ready for this."
Hear more from Giada, Susie and Josh in his exclusive exit interview. Do you think it was Josh's time to go?

A continuation of the series. Please see Parts 1-3 for a description. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I first saw them. I do not have the time to catalog and describe each one. I will leave that work for you in the comments...sort of a class on Loetz identification.
In answer to some questions here. The owner of this collection is in negotiations with an entity that wants to build a Loetz Museum in Europe. His collection would be housed in its own wing. Lets hope that happens so these pieces, most of which are boxed and in storage, will see the light of day. These are literally, the tip of the iceberg.

Penn 360 - A Virtual Facilities Tour
PHILADELPHIA - With the recent completion of Penn Park, George A. Weiss Pavilion, Shoemaker Green and other state-of-the art facility upgrades, Penn Athletics has continued its efforts to provide its student-athletes, coaches and staff with the resources needed to stay atop the Ivy League and in contention for national championships. With the launch of Penn360, all Quaker fans can go behind the scenes and experience where the Quakers play.
Penn360, produced by Early Commit -- the premier provider of online, interactive content for college athletics -- provides Penn student-athletes, coaches, alumni and fans with an all-access showcase into the facilities that have produced some of the greatest moments in Penn's athletic history.
"We are proud of the tremendous facilities available to our student-athletes and coaches," Director of Athletics Steve Bilsky W'71 said. "A lot of work has gone into providing all members of the Penn community with state-of-the-art facilities to compete on at both the collegiate and recreational levels. Our new partnership with Early Commit and the launch of Penn360 allows for all Penn student-athletes, coaches, alumni and fans to connect with the campus in a new and exciting way."
Completely interactive, Penn360 affords 360-degree panoramic views of some of the most notable athletic venues not only the Ivy League, but all of collegiate athletics. Step inside Franklin Field, the nation's oldest collegiate football stadium and home to the annual Penn Relays. Sit courtside at The Palestra , Penn's home court which is truly known as "The Cathedral of College Basketball." Pull up dockside on Boathouse Row to experience where Penn's three rowing teams call home alongside the Schuylkill River in the shadows of Philadelphia's skyline. Take the field in brand-new Penn Park, Penn's $25-million renovation which is home to softball, tennis and two Sprinturf practice facilities. These facilities, and more, are joined by tours of Penn's athletic training, strength & conditioning, and academic facilities as well as the city of Philadelphia's most historic viewpoints -- the National Constitution Center, the Philadelphia Art Museum steps and the world-famous Rocky statue.

Did you know?
The annual Cape Argus Cycle Tour in Cape Town attracts up to 35 000 cyclists annually.
Cycling is very fashionable in the eco-friendly city of Cape Town, with many residents using dedicated cycling lanes for daily transport needs. Almost all the city's major attractions are accessible along bicycle lanes, making it possible to combine exercise and sightseeing.
In addition to all the cycle paths in the city centre, visitors can now cycle out to Milnerton along the MyCiti Cycle Route. This 8km ride, which ends at Woodbridge Island, is highly recommended.
A number of bicycle rental outlets offer short-term and long-term rentals. Various cycling tours are also offered for those wanting some local guidance.
Cape Town is amazingly clean, with far less pollution than most major cities around the world. The lack of traffic and high-rise buildings also allows for a more relaxing urban cycling experience. In addition, it's comparatively safe, although bicycles should always be chained up if left unattended in public areas.
Bike & Saddle are just one of the tour operators who offer urban cycling tours of Cape Town. Tour guides, conversant in English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese, take guests on a journey to city attractions such as the V&A Waterfront, Sea Point, Cape Town Stadium, the Bo Kaap, City Hall, Adderley Street and the Company's Garden. These sort of tours are suitable for anyone of basic fitness levels and cycling experience.

Best time to visit
The summer months (October to April) offer longer evenings for cyclists, as well as drier weather in general.
What will it cost
Bicycles can be rented from approx. R300 per day. Guided tours cost a little extra, but the local knowledge make it worthwhile.
What to pack
If you're cycling during summer, don't underestimate the amount of water you'll need to rehydrate. For a 2-hour cycle you will need 2l to 4l of water per person.And don't forget the sunscreen!
What's happening
The Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour takes place in March every year.

Our new sexpert, Dr. Julie Elledge teaches us what turns women and men on, and how to channel that in your relationship.
-Julie Elledge, Ph.D.
Does a moonlight walk on the beach followed by snuggling together in front of a crackling campfire with your lover get you in the mood to make love? Or, do you prefer a hot sweaty nooner in the backseat of the car in the shopping mall parking lot?
It is a curious subject of what stimulates sexual desire, and perhaps one of the most common reasons that couples seek counseling. When the stars align and both partner's sexual desires are in sync, it can lead to some exceptional sex. But, when two people don't have the same cravings, it can cause deep injury to the individuals and the relationship. It doesn't have to be that way. The root of the problem is a lack of understanding the nature of sexual desire.
Read Understanding the 5 Stages of a Relationship: How Couples Develop a Connection
Deep inside the primitive brain is the urge to mate. The sex drive doesn't discriminate with who — that comes through the more developed aspects of the brain, attraction and commitment. These three systems work together and separately depending on how the nurturing went. Life experiences like family, church, school, friends, gaming, movies, books, and community all help to shape how these drives express themselves in each of us. With so many variables, how can we possibly come to the committed relationship with identical sexual desires? From your rich history, your sexuality has been forming and it gets to come to bed with you. So what does that mean to sexual desire?
What stimulates your sexual desire is going to be different from your partner. Now there is good news here. Often your man is turned on by your desire and you are probably turned on by your man's desire for you if you give it a chance. Remember your kindergarten training? Taking turns in bed is a good idea, but this is not just about social skills. Let's get down to the nitty gritty. How do you turn on your sexual desire?
Intimate Scenarios
For some, intimacy gives rise to intimate sexual desire. Remember the beach example? That would be considered an intimate scenario along with romantic dinners, a good chick flick, slow massage, bathing together, holding hands, or looking into each others eyes and expressing love. Romance drives the intimate scenario. It affirms the love and commitment between the couple. Think of intimate scenarios as one bridge into desire.
For others, the invitation to erotic sexual desire comes through erotic scenarios. An erotic scenario emphasizes the differences between the individuals. What pleasures you and what pleasures him rules the scenario with role play, sex toys, light bondage, or sexual intrigue like almost getting caught in the shopping mall parking lot.

Is Walmart channeling Kurt Vonnegut? When Walmart unveiled its new logo last week, there was only one thing we thought of when we saw that logo.
Anyone who's read "Breakfast of Champions" remembers that Vonnegut peppered his writing with illustrations, one of which was a drawing of his own asshole:
Sure enough, we're not the only ones to have noticed. Terrific marketing job, Walmart!

Diastolic heart failure occurs when the lower left chamber (left ventricle) is not able to fill properly with blood during the diastolic (filling) phase. The amount of blood pumped out to the body is less than normal.
Diastole is the phase of your
heartbeat when your heart relaxes and fills with blood. Diastolic dysfunction
means that your left ventricle cannot relax properly during diastole. As a
result, your ventricle doesn't fill with enough blood before it pumps. If
diastolic dysfunction is severe enough, it can lead to heart failure.
Diastolic heart failure happens because the left ventricle's muscle
becomes too stiff or thickened. To compensate for stiff heart muscle, your
heart has to increase the pressure inside the ventricle to properly fill the
ventricle. Over time, this increased filling causes blood to build up inside
the left atrium and eventually into the lungs, which leads to fluid congestion
and the symptoms of heart failure.
Diastolic heart failure may not lower the heart's ejection fraction. Ejection fraction is a measurement of how well the heart is pumping out blood. This ejection fraction is typically lower in people who have systolic heart failure. But in diastolic heart
failure, your left ventricle may pump well during systole; it is just not
filling with enough blood during diastole. Your ventricle may have a normal
ejection fraction, but it has less blood inside it to pump out. As a result,
your ventricle pumps out less blood with each beat.
The most common cause of
diastolic heart failure is the natural effect of
aging on the heart. As you age, your heart muscle tends to stiffen, which can
prevent your heart from filling with blood properly, leading to diastolic heart
But there are many health problems that can impair your left
ventricle's ability to fill properly with blood during diastole.
What is it?
How it causes heart failure
High blood pressure
Elevated pressure in your arteries

Following a 14-point loss at Yale on Oct. 20, the Quakers fell to 2-4 on the year. Their only chance of earning another Ivy title was to win each of the last four games against the top four teams in the league. Not an easy feat for any team, especially one that had just lost by two touchdowns against the league's worst team.
Written off by every reasonable football fan, the Quakers responded with one of the most improbable and thrilling Ivy titles in league history.
Brown Recap/Highlights
First, the Quakers returned to Franklin Field for Homecoming where they found themselves trailing Brown by three with under three minutes to play. Sophomore kicker Connor Loftus then connected on a career-long 45-yard field goal to tie the game. Moments later, Trevor Niemann's interception set up Loftus' game-winning kick from 30 yards out with 17 seconds to go.
Princeton Recap/Highlights
Mathmatically, the Quakers were still in it after the dramatic Homecoming win, but a matchup with arch rival and first-place Princeton awaited. Penn trailed by seven midway through the fourth quarter. But Daniel Ritt tipped a pass that fell into the hands of C.J. Mooney who skirted 15 yards untouched for the game-tying score with 7:31 to play. After a defensive stop, quarterback Billy Ragone ran in unscathed from three yards out to put Penn up 28-21 with 2:59 left. Princeton then drove the length of the field and faced third-and-goal with 30 seconds left. But senior Steve Lias poked the ball loose from the Tigers signal-caller and senior captain Brandon Copeland fell on the fumble to seal another unlikely comeback victory.
Harvard Recap/Highlights
The win at Princeton put Penn back in the title discussion, but that was only a formality for most. No. 25/16 Harvard was the undisputed class of the league at the time with an average margin of victory of more than 25 points against each of its previous five Ivy opponents, including an Ivy-record 69-0 win over Columbia the week prior. The Quakers shut down one of the nation's top offenses and led 21-14 at the break. But things took a turn for the worse when Ragone went down with a gruesome injury on the last play of the third quarter. Backup quarterback Andrew Holland immediately threw a touchdown pass to go up 28-14. Harvard closed the gap to seven again and had a chance to tie the game when they took over at the their own 14 with a little more than two minutes remaining. But with Ragone cheering on from a cart on the sideline, the Quakers registered three straight sacks capped by a Copeland safety that sent the Franklin Field crowd into a frenzy and clinched Penn a share of the Ivy League championship.
Cornell Recap/Highlights
Penn still had to win at Cornell to earn the Ivy title outright, but was without Ragone. The Quakers built a 28-13 lead heading into the final quarter of play, but back-to-back scores from the Big Red tied the game in the waning minutes. With the title on the line, Holland and the Quakers drove 63 yards in just six plays and Spencer Kulcsar scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:00 left. Cornell then drove deep into Penn territory and was just outside the red zone with time for one more play. The Big Red completed a pass to the 8-yard line, but the Quakers made the tackle immediately and watched the time expire on an unbelievable run toward the program's third outright title in four years.

Trowbridge mayor David Halik walked through the town centre blindfolded using a white stick on Saturday morning to understand the struggles facing people with sight problems.
Town councillor Halik was invited to do the 45-minute trip of the town, carrying out everyday tasks, by Trowbridge Lions Club.
The mayor visited Trowbridge's sensory garden and the market in Castle Place, bought a coffee and withdrew money from a cash machine.
Cllr Halik, who was partially guided by Trowbridge town crier Trevor Heeks, said: "It was a very interesting experience. As I didn't have my sight, my sense of hearing and smell seemed to really increase.
"After having an experience like that I'd encourage those who are planning pedestrian crossings and are wondering what considerations are needed for the blind to have a go as it's hard to make a judgement without experiencing what it's actually like."
In 1925, American political activist Helen Keller, the first deafblind person to get a US university degree, pleaded for the Lions Club to become 'knights of the blind' and since then their groups worldwide have worked to help those with visual impairments.
American Lion George A Bonham introduced blind people to using a white stick to help their mobility in 1930.
The society's groups across the world have raised about £400m to treat reversible blindness.
John Greenway, of Trowbridge Lions, said: "Getting the mayor involved has helped highlight the work we are doing supporting the blind and the difficulties they encounter.
"As a group we work hard to highlight preventable blindness and I'd encourage everyone to have regular eye tests."
Trowbridge Lions has collection boxes in the town's opticians which sees about 2,000 pairs of old glass donated each year.
These are sorted and given to disadvantaged people with vision problems all over the world who cannot afford glasses.

Parker died Monday afternoon in his Lufkin home, leaving a legacy of passionate advocacy for the wildlife, woods and waters he loved. The cause of Parker's death has not been determined. He was 73. Gov. Rick Perry appointed Parker to the commission in November 2003. The former homebuilder and past director of the National Association of Builders was also a past national trustee and past state chairman of Ducks Unlimited, among many other affiliations. "John Parker was well known for his passion, eloquence, and the courage of his convictions, and he was tireless and determined in anything he undertook," said Peter Holt of San Antonio, Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission chairman. "His passing is a great loss to those of us who knew him as friends, and to the cause of conservation in our state and nation." "It was abundantly clear to anyone who knew him that Commissioner Parker deeply loved wildlife and the outdoors, and he especially wanted young people to enjoy the natural heritage and proud traditions of hunting and fishing he valued so highly," said Carter Smith, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department executive director. "His passion for conservation was legendary. Needless to say, he will be missed greatly by all of us who care about the future of his beloved woods and waters." Parker was a champion of youth outreach programs, and he consistently pushed efforts to expand youth hunting opportunities and provide settings and incentives for young Texans to experience nature and the outdoors. Parker loved fishing as well and supported a successful campaign to bring a new freshwater fish hatchery to East Texas, a facility now under construction near Jasper. He was also a stalwart advocate for state parks and spoke passionately of the need for increased state funding for parks in 2006 at a time when awareness of park system needs was just beginning to build. "In 1933, Texans struggling during the Great Depression found hope in a vision of parks that could enhance their quality of life and provide jobs and economic vitality," Parker reminded readers in a February 2007 opinion-editorial published in the Lufkin Daily News. "There is reason to hope that our state is poised to again make a wise investment, which will benefit all Texans for many years to come." Through the efforts of Parker and many others, including fellow members of the commission, the governor and legislative leaders, the legislature passed a significant increase in funding for state and local parks later that year.

"Beautiful stickers that I used to seal my pocket fold with wedding invitations inside. Guests thought it was a great touch!"
"Very beautiful! As others have said, it does look more like a sand when printed than a gold ring but it does clearly state in the description that it does not have any metallic ink or foil. Perfect size to go on top of my jam jar favours."
"Super easy to personalize, I picked a certain pink and it was spot on what I wanted, the paper quality is very very good nice thick paper. Super girly and so perfect for my bridal shower!"
"Oh my goodness I love these! We put an ampersand instead of a letter and they look so cute. The pink went well with our invitations even though they weren't an exact match. (We did the "Flourishing Joy" ones.) They're going to go on our macaroon boxes and I think they're perfect."
"At first, we were skeptical with the quality of these gift tags, so we ordered a sample lot of 10 qty. We were impressed with the delivery time, the paper stock and quality of the print. Suffice to say, we ordered another lot of 110 qty with brace-cut corners. We have to say, these tags are gorgeous compliments to our wedding favors!"

A BOBSLEIGH star is looking forward to a new challenge, after announcing she is pregnant.
Blackburn-born Paula Walker, who competed for Team GB at the Sochi winter Olympics, is expecting her first baby with fellow bobsleigh pilot John Jackson.
Paula, who is also a corporal with the Royal Signals, announced on Twitter she would be missing the next season and swapping training for nappies.
But the 28-year-old said she hoped to be back competing as soon as possible.
She said: "This is the right time for John and me to start a family.
"I do not think the news has sunk in yet. It is a new challenge.
"I am going to have to take time out, but the intentions are to come back after the birth.
"We will just have to see how it all pans out."
Paula, who was the 2011 Junior World Champion, is due to give birth in November.
Her partner John, who already has three daughters, posted a picture of their baby's scan on Twitter.
Paula said they hoped to find out if they were having a boy, or a girl, in around four weeks' time.
The athlete said her family, who all live in Blackburn, were delighted with the news and that the child, when he or she arrives, would make her great-grandmother a great great-grandmother.
Paula said: "My mum will be popping down to Trowbridge, Wiltshire, where we live now as often as she can. She is over the moon. This will be her first grandchild.
"John will be continuing with sport and it will be interesting for me to watch it at home on the television with a baby on my knee.
"My phone has not stopped ringing and buzzing with messages on Facebook and Twitt-er. It has been really nice to have everybody's supp- ort."

BOLIVAR, Mo. – The Saint Leo volleyball team split the first day of the 2012 SBU Purple Bash hosted by Southwest Baptist University on Friday. On the Lions' opening day in Missouri, they downed Drury 3-1 in the opener but fell to Pittsburg State by the same score in the final game of the day.
Both matches had a similar feel as it took the Lions (5-1) nearly an entire set before their offense began to click. Against Drury (4-3) the Lions were able to turn it around, defeating the Panthers (20-25, 25-18, 25-16, 25-18) behind a team .236 attack average and nine team blocks.
On the flip side, the slow start against Pittsburg State (6-0) would cost Saint Leo as the Lions were only able to pull out a third-set victory in the (25-17, 25-23, 29-31, 25-21) loss. It was a contest that saw two of the Lions' biggest hitters post negative numbers in the first two games, forcing head coach Sam Cibrone to make some adjustments to the lineup that nearly worked in pulling out the win.
"I think in both matches we started out slow and it just caught up with us in the second match," Cibrone said. "I'm happy with the way we played in the first match as a whole; we regroup and played good for three games. The second match we played good for the second and third games and we lost focus again in the fourth game. There's some work to do."
The Lions will have that opportunity to get some more work in when they wake up bright and early to start the tournament's second day when they face Harding at 9 a.m. CDT (10 a.m. EDT).

MACCLENNY, Fla. - Family and friends of a 14-year-old girl killed last week held an emotional candelight vigil to remember her Sunday night.
Jordan Sommise died when she was thrown from the pickup truck she was riding in last Saturday night in Baker County. Another teen in that car is paralyzed and remains in the hospital. The driver was not badly injured.
A week and a day after the tragic crash, the community gathered to honor Sommise at a park in MacClenny.
Jordan's dad said the park's peaceful duck pond was her favorite. That's why her friends decided to make it the spot where they would say goodbye to a girl who touched many lives.
Friends told Channel 4 that if anyone could make someone smile, it was Jordan. The teenager had a gift of gab and a love for God, they said.
"She was one of my best friends. She helped me through a lot. It's devastating to know she's gone, but she'll always be in my heart," said Meagan Highsmith, Jordan's friend.
The family held a viewing and a funeral for Jordan in recent days, but this vigil was organized entirely by her friends as a way for the high school students to pay tribute in their special way.
"I've never seen anything like it. Everybody's just gotten together and pulled together like I've never seen before. She's brought us together," said Peyton Keefer, a friend of the late teenager
Jordan's friends said she loved the country, the Gators and trucks. But more than that, she loved people. Friends said she extended a helping hand to anyone who needed it.
"She always had a smile on her face. And hopefully this puts a smile on everybody else's face, just like she always had on hers," said Chase Wright.
With candles lit, heavy hearts and pictures of Jordan on a big screen, family and friends remembered the good times and fought back tears. They said they know she's smiling down on them from above.
"Don't want her to be forgotten. I know everybody's going to start going to their day to day lives, getting back to the norm. Just want everybody to remember what kind of girl she was. And we love her and miss her and will see her again," said Adam Kilpatrick, Jordan's brother-in-law.
Jordan's family members told Channel 4 they appreciate all the love and support this tight-knit community has given them. Jordan's dad, Duane Sommise, said he's not mad at the driver behind the wheel that terrible night, but he hopes this serves as a lesson to drivers to be careful and slow down.
