The Andover Inn's Lounge Looking Towards the East Wing
The Andover Inn's Lounge Looking Towards the East Wing
Benjamin Morse
Phillips Academy
The Andover Inn, also called Phillips Inn, has also had two buildings, as well as once being called Mansion House. The first hotel connected to the school was the former home of the Phillips family which was then called Mansion House. After it burned in 1887, the Stowe House was converted to a hotel and called first Mansion House and the Phillips Inn. The newest building was constructed in 1930 and remained the Phillips Inn until 1940 when it was christened the Andover Inn.

An Exclusive Interview with Oliver North
The Retired U.S. Marine Lieutenant Colonel Discusses Osama Bin Laden, the War on Terrorism and President Bush
(continued from page 6)
Today, Northoccupies a space in the American political landscape as an outspoken advocate of conservative causes. He is heard Monday through Friday on more than 100 radio stations nationwide with his "Common Sense Radio" program. He hosts a show on Fox News Channel called "War Stories," which is a combination of historical and documentary reports on famous battles or military subjects. In the wake of 9/11, North also has become one of the Fox News Channel's most visible and knowledgeable commentators about the war on terrorism, and he has 0capitalized on his prestigious standing in the U.S. military to gain almost unprecedented access to the troops in the field.
Before the intrigue and scandal surrounding his role in the secret funding of the Nicaraguan contra war, North had been a 22-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1968, and served in Vietnam. He won the Silver Star, the Bronze Star of Valor and two Purple Hearts for wounds in action. He was assigned to President Reagan's National Security Council staff as an aide in 1981 and, until his departure in 1986, he was involved in planning for the Grenada rescue operation, the capture of the Achille Lauro hijackers, the U.S. raid on Mohamar Khadafi's terrorist bases in Libya, and the rescue of American hostages in Beirut.
North's role in securing funds for the Nicaraguan contras put him squarely in the spotlight of a congressional inquiry, which investigated how the Reagan administration had ignored resolutions prohibiting any U.S. government money from reaching the guerrilla army. The scheme, which sought to gain the release of hostages held by Hezbollah in Lebanon, involved the sale of arms to Iran, also an illegal act, and the proceeds were funneled to the contras. Although North was indicted and convicted of three federal crimes, the charges were overturned on appeal. The ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals allowed that North's congressional testimony, under the grant of partial immunity, had unfairly influenced the jury. While North became the scapegoat for the scandal and was portrayed as having acted on his own, he maintained in a book about the subject that President Reagan had full knowledge of the plan and approved it.
The contra scandal, ironically, provided an unusual link for North to the September 11 attacks on New York and the Pentagon. It was widely reported that in North's testimony to Congress, he referred to Osama bin Laden as the terrorist who was trying to kill him. How that myth sprung up is unclear, but it is simply not true. Nonetheless, North did testify that Abu Nidal, the bin Laden of his time, had tried to kill him and his family. Perhaps most importantly, North's actual job in the Reagan White House was coordinator of an antiterror campaign in the National Security Council. From there, he had an early vantage point on the world of global terrorism and insights into how the larger terrorist network was linked, as well as how it was supported and somewhat controlled by the former Soviet Union. But North also had an early view of how terrorism began to change in the 1980s with the first hints of Islamic fundamentalism, and then how the movement was transformed into largely self-funded, self-directed terrorist armies.
In a wide-ranging interview with Cigar Aficionado Executive Editor Gordon Mott, North provided some of his own observations about the war on terrorism and Osama bin Laden.
Q: Let's get right to a difficult point. Given what we know today about Osama bin Laden's search to acquire weapons of mass destruction, did al Qaeda do us a favor in a twisted way by attacking when it did, given the relatively unsophisticated weapons bin Laden had at his disposal on September 11?
A: Were we fortunate that he pulled this attack when he did instead of waiting two years until they had a weapon of mass destruction? Well, granted, a 757 is a pretty effective weapon, but it doesn't take out a city.
But the World Trade Center is a casebook attack, a perfectly executed terrorist plan, although it wasn't particularly sophisticated. It's not high tech, even though it's using airplanes as missiles to take down two buildings. As we now know from Osama bin Laden's own videotape, he didn't expect the whole building to come down. He thought a few floors might collapse, but that was it.
What they did was they took advantage of very lax immigration controls, very lax airplane and aircraft security procedures. They took the time to plan it—probably three, four, maybe five years to plan it. And, in a very, very simple process, using a courier who carries the instruction to at least four, perhaps as many as ten different cells, they get instructions to carry it out. And as Osama himself says, some of those people aboard those planes didn't even know they were suicide terrorists. They didn't even know they were on a suicide mission.
Q: Do you think he believed it was a success?
A: He expected the casualties to be much greater. If al Qaeda really knew America, instead of attacking at 8:45 in the morning, the time to attack would have been 10:45 in the morning. Then, instead of 2,800 to 2,900 dead, you might have had 30,000 dead! But remember something about what I just said. This was a classic terrorist attack. The Irish Republican Army has done it. This kind of attack happens all the time in the Middle East. You set off the bomb. You wait twenty minutes for all the first responders to show up and then you set off the second one. That's what the World Trade Center was. That's why I say the World Trade Center was the perfect model. One airplane, twenty minutes later the other airplane.
There are a lot of folks who've looked at the attack that are convinced Flight 93, that went into the field in Pennsylvania, would probably have hit the White House twenty minutes after the plane that hit the Pentagon. The guy that hit the Pentagon just wasn't high enough when he made that turn, and basically wasn't in control when he hit it. He just didn't have quite enough flight training.
Q: Where do you think bin Laden is hiding?
A: I think bin Laden's dead. The guys on the ground are convinced that he's dead and they give two reasons. One, he hasn't been heard from since December; two, the guy is such a megalomaniac that there are hundreds of miles of videotape of this guy. It's not just the stuff we've seen. This guy was giving interviews for years to Al-Jazeera, which we all in the television business call Jihad TV. He had his own favorite news crew that he dealt with. He had his own favorite reporters with Al-Jazeera and a number of other Pakistani, Saudi Arabian and Yemeni and Egyptian newspapers. And we've not seen or heard from him since mid-December.
Q: Do you believe that he has been surprised by the U.S. response to the attacks?
A: Absolutely. He's shell-shocked, if he's still alive. I think he was shell-shocked the moment that that Penetrator landed on top of his bunker. He never imagined that an American president had the leadership ability or the guts to respond the way we have. I think he really did believe his own propaganda. Look at the things he's been saying about us, not only that we're 'the Satan,' but that we're hollow, we've no core, we've no courage. He believed it.
Q: If he is dead, as you believe, how do you assess the remaining capabilities of al Qaeda? A: There's an old Texas expression: when you fall into a snakepit, what snake do you kill first? That's the snake that last bit you! You grab it and you kill it. The organization without him as its visible leader is badly damaged. It's still dangerous. But he fired his best shot on 9/11. He took nineteen of his most effective terrorists and killed them. He had built a system. The president touched on this a couple of days after in the State of the Union. I won't try to paraphrase him, but look at what transpired in building up to 9/11. What bin Laden and his organization did is they took young men many times away from their families, put them into a tutoring system where he taught them to hate, taught them to kill, and taught them to kill themselves. That's all being broken up now.
So the long-range prognosis for al Qaeda's continued operations, and as a serious threat, is not good. Not just in Pakistan or even in Saudi Arabia, but in Indonesia, the Philippines. In much of the Islamic world there is a new awareness about how dangerous bin Laden's kind of philosophy is, or if you will, theology. It's a very twisted perspective on life. Therefore, as a viable entity, its long-range prognosis is not good. In the short range, I think we have to assume that security alerts like today [February 13] are going to continue. There are very likely dozens of other al Qaeda terrorists in the United States.
Q: When you were dealing with terrorism in your role in President Reagan's White House, there wasn't much doubt about where the terrorist groups were getting their support. It was a Cold War phenomenon that was being supported by the Soviet Union. In those days, was any thought given to this other version of terrorism, the Islamic fundamentalist group, and did anyone think then that it would transform into what it's become today?
A: I don't think anybody was looking at it back then, except maybe at Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad as kind of the blueprint for al Qaeda. Surely the guy who drove his truck bomb into the Marine barracks in 1983 and some of the terrorist bombings that we saw in Beirut from '83 onwards were suicide bombers. So, yes, people were looking at it in the context of the Middle East. We created the CIA counterterrorism center in those days, because William Casey was very concerned about where this was heading and it was a new dimension. Up till that point you didn't worry about attacks against U.S. targets inside America. Yeah, you had the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and you had the Black September organization and a bunch of organizations like that, but you didn't have it aimed specifically at the United States. There wasn't this kind of rampant, a-bombing-a-day kind of thing. All of the sudden in the '80s, there's this explosion of it.
Q: Hadn't there been terrorist attacks for years before that?
A: Sure. The British have dealt with it for years in Cyprus and in the Middle East; they'd had a lot of those kind of attacks addressed against them. Abu Nidal worked against them. But that's nothing compared to what happened to King Hussein. I think it was forty-one times they tried to kill him. Why? Because he was willing to sit down and talk to the Israelis. People looked at him and said, "Look. Our relationship with Israel is going to be a problem."
Islamic radical terrorism the likes of which we are now seeing was never on the table as big a threat as it is now. I don't think that anybody ever anticipated that the Wahabi movement in places like Saudi Arabia would get to be as big and as dangerous as it's been. I mean, if the financial backing, and if you will, the general guidance for terrorism in the '70s and early '80s was coming out of the Soviet Union, the financial and, if you will, the philosophical guidance today is coming from places like Saudi Arabia. There's a lot of money there, but there's probably less control over the organizations.
There's probably less ability for somebody in Saudi Arabia to say stop to Hamas, because that organization has got money in the bank. We started tracking financial transactions back in the '80s. We were all over the Libyan movement of money, for example: from Tripoli and Benghazi to the Peoples Committee for Libyan Students in Germany and in McLean, Virginia. We watched it. When the FBI detected the attack on my family on February 11, 1987, it was because we'd been watching those guys. But nobody was watching the growth of al Qaeda and its type of organization in mosques and in college campuses around the country.
Q: But you believe the transformation of radical Islamic fundamentalism had already started at that point?
A: In fact, it starts in 1979 with the Ayotollah Khomeini coming back to Iran. He leaves Iraq, goes to Paris and then comes back to Tehran. That's where it begins and at that point, it's under the control of the religious mullahs. Tehran could say to the Islamic Jihad or to the Hezbollah, "OK, guys, knock it off." But there's separate money for it now and you've got separate leadership. I mean, the Iranians couldn't control somebody like Osama bin Laden if they wanted to. And I don't think the Saudis could, either. Even so, what we've got is something that may ultimately be more easily controlled than the Soviet support for the global terrorist network, because it was so widespread back then. The Soviets just kind of supported it with concrete things. Their questions to the terrorist groups were things like, "You need some more munitions? You need a little training? You need a little refuge? You need medical treatment?"
Q: Would you say giving terrorists refuge, a place to rest and recuperate, may be as important as anything else you can give them?
A: Exactly. And, today, the number of places where these people can go take summer vacation has gotten a whole lot smaller. The commitment of their followers is much more zealous. Case in point, the Mukhabarat, which is the foreign intelligence service of the Iraqi government, have long been sponsors of terrorism. They're just like what Khadafi used to be. I mean, they've got their operatives running around the world bumping off opponents of the regime all over the place. It happens all the time. But the fact of the matter is, that no terrorist was ever willing to die for Saddam Hussein or even Mohamar Khadafi. They were willing to plant a bomb for him, but they didn't want to ride the bomb in. What makes Osama so dangerous, and what makes radical Islam so dangerous today, is that they not only are willing to die, they want to die. So, that's what the Israelis have been up against now for the last fifteen years and what we're now up against in reality for at least the next fifteen years.
Q: In your conversations since September 11, do you have a sense of when the intelligence community realized that Osama was the focal point that they needed to be worried about?
A: This sounds like I'm criticizing the CIA. I'm not. But it's not the responsibility of the CIA to do things that the administration tells them not to do. In 1995, largely due to pressure about bad things the CIA had done in Guatemala, Senator [Robert] Torrecelli goes and convinces the CIA that if you guys even talk to somebody who's got a criminal record or a bad human rights record, I'm going to cut you guys off. We have then what they internally called out at Langley, the Torricelli sanction.
We could already see the growth of radical Islam with the bombings of the Beirut barracks, the bombings of our embassies, repeated bombings in the 1980s with suicide bombers. The Israelis were already going through it. Organizations like Hamas didn't just bloom overnight; the Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah were already doing it. Osama bin Laden himself does not become a visible threat until the early '90s. By the mid-'90s, people are starting to say, "Wait a second. World Trade Center [bombing]?" We've got no ability to even penetrate these guys because of the Torricelli sanctions.
What's happened is that the CIA has been trying to find out information. But I don't care how sophisticated your satellites are, how many guys you've got sitting around with headphones on, or how many miles of tape that you're making out at the National Security Agency or General Command Headquarters or any of the listening sites around the world—you can't get information that way. Unless you can get inside those organizations, you can't forecast where this event's going to take place. So what happens is you get the living daylights surprised out of you, because all of the sudden here's this guy Osama and we don't know anything about him. In large measure that's the consequence of not having human intelligence.
I keep telling people that. You know to the extent that the government every once in a while wants to hear from an old geezer like me. First of all, [bin Laden] fired his best shot on 9/11. If he'd had things like anthrax, botulinum toxin and Hanta virus and all these other kinds of [things like] Sarin gas, suitcase nukes … it's nuts. If he had any of those, he would have used them first.
Q: What kind of methods does an intelligence operation have to use to get that kind of insider's information?
A: You can't recruit a guy who knows what's going on in a terrorist organization from Mother Theresa's sisters of the poor. You can't find them there. You've got to deal with the bad guys. That realization doesn't happen until 9/11. 9/11 changed that forever and hopefully for the good. Now, does that mean that we're going to be dealing with people who are very bad people? Yes it does. We're going to have to deal with people who are inside those organizations, who have already passed the litmus test. The litmus test to being accepted as a member of a terrorist organization is, before I accept you, you're going to have to go out and commit an act of terrorism. You're going to have to hurt or kill somebody.

7 Days Of THE LORD & THE MASTER: Day #1 - The Music Of Andrew Lloyd Webber & Stephen Sondheim
Today we shine a special spotlight on the spectacular entertainment set to be presented this coming Monday, June 16, at Joe's Pub, THE LORD & THE MASTER: BROADWAYWORLD.COM SINGS THE MUSIC OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER & STEPHEN SONDHEIM, tickets available here, with a tribute to the men Behind The Music themselves.
Send In The Music Of The Night
"The Music Of The Night". "Send In The Clowns". "Memory". "Being Alive". "Jesus Christ Superstar". "No One Is Alone". "Don't Cry For Me Argentina". "Not While I'm Around". And, those are just the biggest hit songs! Without a doubt, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim have collectively created many of the most highly-awarded and most universally recognizable musicals of the 20th and 21st century, both firmly establishing themselves as major composers on the Great White Way in the early 1970s, while also having many of their most famous productions running on Broadway concurrently. Of course, Stephen Sondheim made an early mark on popular culture with his lyrics for Golden Age classics WEST SIDE STORY and GYPSY before breaking out on his own as composer/lyricist of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM and ANYONE CAN WHISTLE in the 1960s. In 1970, COMPANY ensconced him as a Tony Award-winning composer and lyricist in his own right, with a string of momentous musicals following shortly thereafter, including FOLLIES, A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC and PACIFIC OVERTURES, closing out the decade with modern musical masterpiece SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET in 1979. Similarly, Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice found early success in the late 1960s with their pop operetta JOSEPH & THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, with the pair soon after achieving worldwide acclaim byway of international smash hit concept albums for JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR in 1970 and EVITA in 1976, followed by successful stage iterations. Lloyd Webber's hit composer status increased further with CATS in 1981, with the show arriving the same year as Sondheim's final major partnership with collaborator and director Hal Prince, on MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, many Lloyd Webber and Sondheim shows shared a year, if not a Broadway season, with Sondheim's SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE and INTO THE WOODS arriving right alongside Lloyd Webber's SONG & DANCE, STARLIGHT EXPRESS and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, respectively. Sondheim began the 1990s with the daring ASSASSINS while Lloyd Webber romanced ASPECTS OF LOVE, with the two ironically reversing topics next when Lloyd Webber took on a piece of American iconography via SUNSET BOULEVARD and Sondheim explored matters of the heart in PASSION. Additionally, Lloyd Webber and Sondheim both took home Best Original Song Academy Awards during this time, with Sondheim's DICK TRACY contributions and Lloyd Webber's new EVITA motion picture addition scoring gold. In the following years, each composer has continued to attempt daring and idiosyncratic theatrical enterprises, with Sondheim expanding THE FROGS into a full-length evening and penning three distinctly different versions of the biomusical now known as ROAD SHOW, while also supervising various revues, film adaptations and celebrations of his material into the new millennium. Lloyd Webber finished out the 1990s with WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND before embarking on THE BEAUTIFUL GAME and THE WOMAN IN WHITE, as well as a stage adaptation of THE WIZARD OF OZ, and, most recently, the West End musical STEPHEN WARD.
Focusing primarily on the many years in which their musicals ran simultaneously, while also introducing some rarely-heard and new-to-NYC material at the same time, this Monday night's BroadwayWorld special concert event, THE LORD & THE MASTER: BROADWAYWORLD.COM SINGS ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER & STEPHEN SONDHEIM, will be highlighted by contemporary takes on a number of famous songs by both music masters while exploring some fascinating and entertaining hidden treasures, too.
Tickets for THE LORD & THE MASTER: BROADWAYWORLD.COM SINGS ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER & STEPHEN SONDHEIM are available here.
So, now, let's look at some of the musical highlights we can anticipate arriving in this Monday night's show as well as some of the greatest songs by these two theatrical titans.
First, a sample of Stephen Sondheim's first musical, SATURDAY NIGHT.
Next, Josh Young stops the show with a song from Lloyd Webber's first Broadway foray, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR.
Now, a taste of Sondheim's celebrated concept musical COMPANY.
After that, EVITA's biggest showstopper, "Don't Cry For Me Argentina".
Sondheim's biggest breakout hit to date is "Send In The Clowns".
Lloyd Webber's WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND boasts the most successful song from a musical in history, "No Matter What".
Who could forget Frank Sinatra's take on this MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG gem?
That same season, Lloyd Webber premiered the mega-hit CATS.
Barbra Streisand soars with this INTO THE WOODS standout.
Lloyd Webber's biggest hit to date is THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, here sampled in a special superstar duet iteration.
Here is a standout from Sondheim's most recent musical, ROAD SHOW.
Lastly, sneak a listen to Lloyd Webber's newest show, STEPHEN WARD.
BONUS: Sharing the Great White Way with EVITA in 1979 was also Sondheim's SWEENEY TODD - featuring a song recently seen on GLEE.
BONUS #2: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Gary Barlow perform their Diamond Jubilee celebratory anthem "Sing".
So, what is your absolute favorite musical by each of these musical theatre icons? Furthermore, what is your top song by each? Considering their career trajectories and artistic outputs are so wildly dissimilar, it seems unfair to even compare them, let alone to contemplate choosing a winner. Surely, both the Lord and the Master can harmoniously co-exist in life and in the theatre realm, and the many striking parallels between their astounding careers will be explored in revelatory detail on Monday at Joe's Pub.
Tickets for THE LORD & THE MASTER: BROADWAYWORLD.COM SINGS ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER & STEPHEN SONDHEIM are available here.

Most of us are familiar with the idea that during endurance exercise muscle fibers become depleted of carbohydrate or better known as muscle glycogen. This is why adequate carbohydrate needs to be ingested by endurance athletes, or they will become fatigued very quickly. Dr. Per Tesch recently showed that glycogen loss in both fast and slow twitch fibers also occurs with weight training. Muscle glycogen depletion of fibers from a thigh muscle was determined by a muscle biopsy before and after five sets of 10 reps of knee extension exercises. Sets were completed using 30, 45 and 60% of a one rep max. Significant glycogen loss in both fast and slow twitch fibers was shown after all three workouts, but was greatest after the sets at 60% of the one rep max.

Kingston & Poly Athletics Club are celebrating a historic weekend after their young female team stormed to their first Lily B league and cup double.
Going into the Kingsmeadow cup final meeting last Saturday, Kingston had already secured the league plate.
The cup, competed for by the top six teams in the league, turned out to be a one-sided affair with Kingston dominating the points tally.
Two of Kingston's young stars came back from adversity to claim important wins.
Laura Darcey suffered a fall early in the meeting, but came back to win the high jump (1.45m) and long jump (4.27m), while Amber Dummett struggled through an ankle injury to claim the 1,500m in seven minutes, 44.1 seconds.
The meeting had to be abandoned before the relay events due to lightning, but the Kingston girls had already done enough to win the title, beating Croydon Harriers into first place by 54 points, with Guildford & Godalming in third 108 points behind.
Meanwhile, last Saturday's Kingston parkrun was won by Kevin Best, of Kingston-based running club Stragglers.
Best clocked 18 minutes, 26 seconds to claim first place.

The Fort Bragg Police Department is seeking the public's help finding a man suspected of setting fire to an unoccupied vacation home Sunday and manufacturing illegal drugs there, according to the FBPD.
Police took a report at 7:48 a.m. Feb. 3 that smoke was seen in the area of 130 Noyo Heights Drive in Fort Bragg. As city firefighters were extinguishing the fire, police learned the home was the unoccupied vacation home of a family from out of the area, according to the FBPD.
Neighbors reported seeing a young, Caucasian man at the home during the past few days leading up to the fire. The man had allegedly told neighbors he was doing yard work and staying at the home. Other neighbors reported recently seeing lights on inside the vacation home, but said they hadn't seen any suspicious activity, according to the FBPD.
The property owners reportedly told police they hadn't given permission for anyone to stay in the home or to do any yard work or maintenance.

Award-winning animator and Playboy cartoonist Dean Yeagle has granted The CS Moore Studio the license to release a statue based on his vivacious pinup dream girl, Mandy. The Dean Yeagle Mandy & Skoots Statue will be sculpted by Clayburn Moore, widely regarded for his beautiful interpretations of the female form.
After Dean's curvaceous Mandy appeared online in 2002 (a neo-Mandy was featured in one of Dean's Playboy cartoons that year), she's appeared in art books and original pieces for collectors and a number of Paris art galleries. Over the years she has developed a devoted fan following, eagerly waiting to see what situations the winsome cutie and her dog Skoots will find themselves in next.
The 1/6 scale statue, which will be produced in both cold-cast porcelain and true bronze, will show a surprised Mandy covering herself as she reaches after the mischievous Skoots, who has just absconded with her bikini top. Naughty Skoots!
"Dean Yeagle's Mandy is one of the great characters of the cartooning world," said Moore. "This will be a really fun piece to sculpt and I hope collectors will love her."
"I think that my background in animation has given Mandy a feeling of life and vitality that has been a great part of her appeal. Then again, maybe it's the fact that she so rarely wears any clothes..." says Dean.
The Dean Yeagle Mandy & Skoots Statue is scheduled to ship in 4th Quarter 2012.

During Hanukkah, it is Jewish tradition to eat food that is deep fried in oil, a tasty and caloric reminder of the Holy Temple miracle (learn more here). Once a year, we are given guilt-free rein to enjoy fried foods like latkes. In fact, we're encouraged to do so! Now that's a tradition I can totally get on board with.
The perfect latke is crispy on the outside while hot, soft and fluffy in the center. It's aromatic and salty and oniony and delectable. A well made latke is nearly impossible to resist. Forget the calories and fat, forget all of that. If you're going to make latkes, indulge yourself and make them the way they were meant to be enjoyed… fried, salted and devoured. I've been making latkes for about 10 years now. In that time, I've made hundreds and hundreds of latkes. I've managed to learn quite a bit about what works and what doesn't in a latke recipe. Sharing is caring, so I'm going to pass along some of my best tips here! You're welcome. 🙂
When it comes to making a hot, crispy, fluffy, delicious latke, there are many schools of thought. Some folks like to fry their latkes in olive oil. Others use "liquid gold," schmaltz– aka chicken fat– to fry the latkes. It tastes amazing, but lordy is it ever fattening (though I will admit to using it from time to time!). There are those who say that you must add garlic and seasonings to give the latkes flavor. Others believe in the basics– onion, salt and pepper. There's the question of size– some like large, flat latkes and some prefer small, crisp, hash brown-style treats. Some use matzo meal to bind the latkes, others use flour. And then of course, there are the toppings… applesauce or sour cream? Some will even top their latkes with ketchup– blasphemy! Don't worry, I won't judge you. Whatever floats your latke boat. It's all good!
Over the years, I've really honed my latke technique. I generally use grapeseed or peanut oil for frying– each has a high smoke point, making them ideal for deep frying. Sometimes I'll add a few tablespoons of schmaltz to the oil to give it a schmaltzy flavor. I use fine potato shreds, rather than large ones, which helps the latkes to hold together better. I squeeze the heck out of the potato and onion shreds to remove as much liquid as possible. I also add some potato starch to the mix, which helps bind the latkes without making them gummy. And I always drain them on a wire cooling rack… this keeps them from sitting in their own oil and getting soggy.
Recently, I decided to use Japanese panko-style breadcrumbs as a binder for the latkes, instead of matzo meal or flour. I loved the resulting latkes– they were golden brown and super crispy, while perfectly light and fluffy inside. Panko has the ideal texture for holding these bad boys together. Follow the steps in the recipe carefully, and you're sure to end up with a seriously delicious plate of latkes. Chag Sameach!

Crispy Panko Potato Latkes
- 2 1/2 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tbsp potato starch
- Salt and pepper
- Grapeseed or peanut oil for frying
You will also need
- hand grater or food processor shredding disc attachment with fine holes, clean tea towel or layers of cheesecloth, skillet or electric skillet for frying, metal spatula, wire cooling rack
- Before you begin making the latkes, place your wire cooling rack close to the area where you will be frying the latkes. Place a layer of paper towels below the cooling rack to catch excess oil.
- Peel the potatoes, then grate them using a hand grater or food processor shredding attachment with fine holes (small shreds). I really recommend using the food processor, it saves a ton of time and will help you avoid onion tears when grating the onion.
- Place grated potato into a bowl and immediately cover with cold water.
- Meanwhile, grate the onion using the same grater or attachment you used for the potatoes (fine holes for small shreds).
- Drain the potato shreds in a colander. Rinse and dry the bowl used to soak the shreds and set aside.
- Place drained potato shreds and grated onion in the center of a clean tea towel or multiple layers of cheesecloth.
- Wrap the shreds up in the cloth, twisting the cloth to secure the bundle, and squeeze firmly to remove excess liquid from the shreds.
- Pour potato and onion into the clean, dry bowl. Stir the shreds with a fork to make sure the grated onion is evenly mixed throughout the potato shreds.
- Pour oil into skillet to a depth of 1/8 inch. Heat slowly over medium to about 365 degrees F. While oil is heating, use the fork to stir the panko breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, potato starch, salt and pepper into the potato shreds. You can add salt and pepper to taste. I add about 3/4 tsp of salt and a 1/4 tsp of pepper. You can sprinkle on more salt to taste after cooking, if desired. Take care to make sure the egg and seasonings are fully mixed throughout the potato shreds.
- Scoop up 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture. I do this by using a 1/4 cup measuring cup and filling it 3/4 of the way full.
- Squeeze the mixture firmly in your palm over an empty dish to remove any excess liquid (if you squeezed the potatoes out thoroughly in the cloth, you may not have much excess liquid to squeeze out).
- Shape the potato mixture into a tightly compacted disk.
- Place the disk carefully into the hot oil. Latkes can break apart at this point, they're very delicate. If you can get them into the hot oil in one piece, chances are they will stick together--frying them is like the "glue" that holds them together. It takes a gentle touch, and it may take you some practice to get the "feel" for it.
- The oil should sizzle but not pop when the latke hits it; if the oil jumps wildly or smokes, it is too hot. If it only bubbles weakly, the oil is not hot enough. Use the first latke to test the oil temperature, and don't fry a whole batch until the temperature is right.
- Continue shaping the latkes in this way, using 3 tablespoons of potato mixture for each latke. Fry in batches of 4-5 latkes at a time (no more than that-- don't crowd the pan) for 2-3 minutes per side till brown and crispy. Note: If your latkes aren't holding together, stir more potato starch into the mixture, 2 teaspoons at a time, till the batter "holds." You can also add another egg to the mixture and more panko, if needed.
- Remove the latkes from the pan using metal spatula and place them on wire cooling rack to drain.
- I recommend serving latkes fresh within 10 minutes of frying them, if your cooking schedule permits. If you need to make them ahead, fry them 4 hours or less before serving. After letting the latkes drain on the wire cooling rack, place them on an ungreased, unlined cookie sheet. Leave them at room temperature till ready to reheat. Place in a 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes (7 if using a convection oven), until heated through, just prior to serving. Serve latkes with applesauce and/or sour cream, if desired.

It's not uncommon to see a recruit drop a school and pick another one. It happened dozens of times with the class of 2012, so it's not surprising that some 2013 recruits are already doing it.
That was the case Thursday when running back Johnny Jefferson dropped his commitment to Texas A&M and immediately joined Baylor's 2013 class.
What's interesting though is that new Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin has gone public saying that he won't be patient with committed recruits who start to look around after accepting a scholarship offer. Even though he can't speak about specific recruits because of NCAA rules, Sumlin can speak generically.
"If they want to look around, they're not committed to Texas A&M," Sumlin told The Dallas Morning News earlier this week. "Our guys understand that. Some have said they want to look around. If so, guess what? You're not committed to us."
SN's Recruiting Central: News on the 2013 class
As far as Jefferson, he doesn't appear to be the next Robert Griffin III level recruit for Baylor, but he is a nice consensus three-star pickup for the Bears. Last year, the 5-foot-10, 195-pound RB out of Shoemaker (Killeen, Texas) rushed for more than 800 yards and nine touchdowns. He had committed to the Aggies during a February junior day visit, but later felt he wanted to see other schools and took a trip to TCU and then to Baylor. That may have been at least part of why Sumlin said what he did this week, and the scholarship offer may have been rescinded. The school cannot comment on that.
Jefferson (4.45 seconds in the 40-yard dash) also reports scholarship offers from Houston, Notre Dame, Ohio State and UCLA, along with the aforementioned in-state offers.
Baylor is up to four recruits for 2013, while the Aggies drop down to a still-large class of 13.

We appear to be inching closer to a full vote on the farm bill as House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday named conferees for a farm bill conference with the Senate.
The House passed, by voice vote, a motion to go to conference with the Senate on Friday. The list of House conferees includes 17 Republicans and 12 Democrats.
"I am pleased to be at this point in the farm bill process where we are about to begin negotiations with our friends in the Senate and put a final bill together," says House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla). "This has been a long and challenging process, but that does not discount the product we have achieved with billions of dollars in savings and reforms, and policy that works for all of agriculture all across the country. There are challenging issues yet to overcome, but we have a solid team of negotiators in place. I am confident we can reach consensus and send a five-year farm bill to the president."
House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) also expressed relief the process is moving forward.
"Appointing conferees might be a sign that, after repeatedly delaying and undermining the Agriculture Committee's work, Republican Leaders are finally getting serious about the farm bill. Conferees are committed to working together and getting a farm bill done but bringing divisive resolutions to a vote and appointing conferees outside the Agriculture Committee has made our jobs a lot harder.
"The Democratic conferees represent our caucus and bring a great deal of expertise to the process. I am hopeful that if Republican Leadership can be reasonable and leave the conference committee alone to do its work that we will be able to finish a five-year, comprehensive farm bill this year."

High schools ban Reno video stalker
May 10, 2014
A Reno man, who admitted videotaping student athletes while they were at public sporting events, has been banned from high school campuses across Northern Nevada
Rodney Milton Skan, 59, faces a June 12 sentencing date after he admitted to a misdemeanor stalking charge in East Fork Justice Court on Monday
Skan's home was searched and more than 100 videos of female student athletes were found, District Attorney Mark Jackson said Tuesday.
Jackson said he has been issued no trespassing notices for high schools. Skan had videos of student athletes focusing on specific body parts going back three years, Jackson said.
He was arrested at a Saturday track meet held at Douglas High School after someone noticed he was taping an athlete when she wasn't competing. A school administrator and deputy watched Skan and then followed him into the parking lot where he was detained.
A previous incident involving a different man occurred in Carson City on April 26. The man was arrested for arresting one of the runners.

"This is the second incident of this nature reported to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office in the past two weeks, although the previous incident occurred in Carson City, the students are from Douglas High," Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Pat Brooks said. "The investigation is ongoing."
As a result of the investigation to date, numerous other high school female athletes have been identified as victims.
Jackson said the stalking incidents involved several athletes.

A man was fatally shot and stabbed early Monday inside his truck near a Target store parking structure he had been hired to clean, and the slaying suspect was being treated at a hospital for possible drug intoxication, police said.
The victim, a man in his 30s whose name was not immediately released, was attacked near the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and Hatteras Street around 5 a.m., according to police and coroner's officials.
Detective Robert Bub of the Los Angeles Police Department's Van Nuys Division told City News Service the victim was shot and then stabbed. "He was just a hardworking guy who appeared to be at the wrong place at the wrong time," Bub said, adding that the victim was a member of a cleaning crew hired to clean the floors of the parking facility.
The crew had already started work prior to the attack. "For some reason, this man went down to check on the truck, and that's when he was attacked by our suspect," Bub said.
There were no known witnesses or video to the initial assault, but Bub said it appears the victim was shot first while he was sitting in the truck.
"One of the other crew members heard the commotion and called 9-1-1," Bub said. "When our officers arrived, the suspect was standing outside the truck and stabbing at the victim. He tried to run away, but he was taken into custody by the officers."
The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Bub said the gun and knife were recovered at the scene.
There doesn't appear to be any connection between the suspect, who is a reputed gang member, and the victim, who was not connected to any gang.
The suspect appeared to be under the influence of narcotics, according to Bub, who noted the man will be booked on suspicion of murder when he is out of the hospital. His name was not immediately released.

In her book "The Myths of Happiness," UC Riverside psychology professor Sonja Lyubomirsky looks at 10 different adult crisis points — beginning with relationships (marriage, singlehood, kids), moving on to money and work (job malaise, financial success and ruin) — and ending with problems inherent to middle age and beyond (health issues, aging, regrets) which can often be positive turning points in our lives.
More from Lyubomirsky's book:
"Our crisis points — times when in an instant we feel our lives will never be the same, when we come to a realization or take in a weighty piece of news — are key moments in our lives. They are the moments that we remember and pivot on, the ones we need to consider and respond to.
"This is true not just because such moments are 'big,' but because even seemingly devastating crossroads can be gateways to positive changes in our lives. Recent research reveals that people who have experienced some adversity (for example, several negative events or life-changing moments) are ultimately happier (and less distressed, traumatized, stressed, or impaired) than those who have experienced no adversity at all. Having a history of enduring several devastating moments 'toughens us up' and makes us better prepared to manage later challenges and traumas, big and small."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida's lieutenant governor has resigned because of her ties to an Internet cafe company embroiled in a gambling scandal that has resulted in 57 people being indicted.
[MONEY TRAIL: From casinos to politicians | READ: Allied Veterans Search Warrant | Full list of arrestees | WATCH: Tony Pipitone's full report]
Jennifer Carroll's resignation was announced Wednesday, one day after she gave her resignation letter to Gov. Rick Scott, who says he has no knowledge that Carroll broke the law.
Scott called her resignation disappointing. His chief of staff, Adam Hollingsworth, says Carroll's resignation was spurred by an investigation into the Allied Veterans of the World, which was once represented by Carroll.
Scott didn't say if he had asked Carroll to resign, but said he will wait until the annual legislation session is over before picking Carroll's replacement.
Fifty-seven individuals charged for their roles in the nonprofit Internet cafe company were recently arrested on racketeering charges. The owner was arrested Tuesday in connection to allegations that he made $290 million after supplying illegal gambling software in Florida and claiming the games' proceeds would benefit a veterans group.
Operation "Reveal the Deal" uncovered a sophisticated racketeering and money laundering scheme stemming from 49 illegal gambling centers operating under the guise of internet cafes, according to SCSO.
"Our investigation suggests the premise of charity is a lie," said Gerald Bailey of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Investigators said Allied Veterans of the World was led by four co-conspirators: Johnny Duncan, 62, of Boiling Springs, S.C., Jerry Bass, 62, of Jacksonville, Fla., Chase Burns, 37, of Fort Cobb, Okla., and Kelly Mathis, 49, also of Jacksonville, Fla.
Duncan serves as the former national commander of the organization, Bass is the current commander, and Mathis is the organization's attorney. Burns owns and operates International Internet Technologies and provided the software used by the gambling centers, according to Seminole County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators said they believe the four co-conspirators received more than $90 million in proceeds.
"Claiming to be an organization that helps veterans in order to run an illegal scheme insults every American who ever wore a military uniform," said Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Investigators found that during the period from January 2008 to January 2012, less than 2 percent of the $300 million in gambling center revenues was given to charity, according to investigators.
Authorities also interviewed Carroll, whose ties to the company were questioned when she was in the Legislature and proposed a bill that would benefit Internet cafes.
Allied Veterans of the World was founded in the late 1970s to help assist members of the armed forces.

•Find out how the business plans to keep your information secure. You'll want to check to see if the business plans on selling your information to third-parties. If they do, be on the lookout for unsolicited emails requesting your personal information; they could be scams that download malware on your computer.
•Ask if you can opt-out of receiving promotional emails. Now that the business has your email address, it's possible you'll start to receive coupons, newsletters and other promotional emails from them…and even from others if they've sold or shared your data. You may want to set up a separate email address to use for paperless receipts so that you can easily monitor it for spam.
•Beware of scams. Having receipts emailed can also make you susceptible to phishing and other identity theft scams. Scammers pose as retailers or banks with realistic-looking emails that may claim there are problems with your purchase and request that you click a link to fix it. The link may take you to a fraudulent site that asks for your personal information, or it might download malware on your computer that will search your hard drive for account numbers and passwords.
Make sure your anti-virus software is up-to-date. Whether or not you plan to increase your Internet and email use, it's always a good idea to make sure your system's security plan is updated regularly. Spammers feed off of online shoppers who fail to update security patches.

text: Homer Hickam's first foray into young adult novels a hit By Ronni Lynn Wood, Scott High School June 8, 2012 Story Share Courtesy photo CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Well known for his novel "Rocket Boys" (turned into the film "October Sky"), writer Homer Hickam has decided to branch off into the young adult genre with his newest book, "Crater." "Crater" is a science fiction novel that begins the "Helium-3" trilogy.In the novel, a teenager named Crater Trueblood works as a miner. The twist of the story is that he lives and works in a town on the moon, and the substance he mines is Helium-3.In his author's note, Hickam explained that Helium-3 is an actual isotope of helium that was found in the first rocks brought back from the moon. It is a real thing that could really solve Earth's energy problems.Hickam uses ideas from his life in Coalwood, the McDowell County mining town he grew up in, and from his time at NASA to create the novel. He is able to mesh two ideas that normally would seem completely unrelated.Although the story itself is very different from the works that brought Hickam fame, any fan of his novels will surely like this story. Readers will get pulled into Crater's life as he begins a perilous journey to retrieve something for the mine owner. Full of action, his story keeps readers interested and turning the pages. "Crater" combines romance, adventure, mining and space to create a science fiction novel that is hard to put down. It is very well researched, and Hickam has thought of everything needed for humans to live on the moon. There is a solution to every problem concerning human habitation.Crater is a truly interesting character. He is honest and naïve in the ways of the world. He thinks the best of everyone and is sometimes perceived as weak because of that. His kindness and intelligence, however, makes readers ally themselves with him and hope he does well.Throughout the novel, Hickam is able to incorporate details from his life that add to the story in small ways. For instance, there is a spaceship called a cycler that is named after Werner von Braun, the man who made Hickam want to design rockets and started his fascination with space. Hickam adds small details like that for his fans to pick up on.With this book, Hickam has created an unusual combination of space and mining. He is probably the only writer who would be able to make it work. "Crater" is a well-written novel, like one would expect from Hickam, and it will draw readers in as soon as they read the back cover description.If you are a person who likes science fiction, then you should give "Crater" a try. The same goes for readers of Hickam's "Coalwood" series."Crater" is the first book in the "Helium-3" trilogy, and if they're anything like "Crater," the other books will be hits as well. Personally, I look forward to them, as well as any other future works from Hickam.

I'm using Spring 3.0.5, I noticed while wiring up a ThreadPoolTaskExecutor as the task executor for a DefaultMessageListenerContainer that at runtime the number of consumer threads created by DMLC is actually +1 of the value set in call to setMaxConcurrentConsumers(), I only noticed it because I had set max size on ThreadPoolTaskExecutor to be same as max consumers on DMLC and the task executor had rejection policy as CALLER_RUNS with a queue size of 0, i just assumed those wouldn't matter anyways since the DMLC would never ask for more than n threads, but it turned out that the DMLC was creating one additional consumer thread and when it did..due to the CALLER_RUNS w/ zero queue capacity on the task executor, that caused a deadlock on all n threads, they all became blocked on DMLC call to isRunning(). I just wanted to mention this, there are many ways to avoid this with better choice of task executor config(or don't specify one and let the DMLC create it's own AsyncTaskExecutor), this was more a matter of my mis-config that led to some info i thought might be worthwhile to share.

Alcantara makes Major League debut vs. Reds
CINCINNATI -- Cubs manager Rick Renteria didn't waste any time getting Arismendy Alcantara in the lineup. The second baseman, called up from Triple-A Iowa while Darwin Barney is on paternity leave, was in the starting lineup Wednesday and batted second.
And he was very excited to be with the big league team. Alcantara went 0-for-4 in the Reds' 4-1 victory, but picked up an assist when he threw out Ramon Santiago, trying to extend a double to a triple, at third base in the second inning.
"It means a lot," Alcantara said before the game. "One of my dreams is to be in the big leagues and I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can. I'm just going to try to do my job. ... If I do good, they can bring me back."
Barney was expected back Friday. He flew to Chicago early Wednesday to be with wife, Lindsay, for the birth of their third child.
"He should be in there," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said of Alcantara, 22, who was batting .308 with 10 home runs, 24 doubles, 11 triples and 21 stolen bases in 88 games at Iowa. "Hopefully, he's able to enjoy it and be himself. He's been doing very well this season and hopefully he feels comfortable with his teammates here."
Alcantara was in big league camp this spring and benefited from the experience.
"Being around the veteran guys, they can talk to you and give you something and explain it to you better," he said.
Kyle Hendricks, who will make his Major League debut on Thursday in the Cubs' series finale against the Reds, flew with Alcantara from Omaha on Wednesday. Alcantara has played second, shortstop and center field. What was Hendricks' scouting report?
"He can play any of them," Hendricks said. "His arm is so good and he put in a lot of work and it didn't take long for him to look natural out there [in center]. He runs down balls and has great speed. he's definitely a natural out there."
And he's got more power than people might think looking at Alcantara's 5-foot 10-inch, 170-pound frame.
"He's right up there with [Javier] Baez and [Kris] Bryant as far as pop," Hendricks said.
Where would Alcantara like to play?
"Everywhere -- short, second base, outfield, everywhere," he said. "I just want to see my name in the lineup."

Nothing tastes as good as being fit feels...
It's a feel-good story. He looks like the team batboy but goes out and gets two hits seemingly every game. It's something fun to follow. I don't think anyone has him heading to Cooperstown at this point.
Well put.It's always exciting when a 17 year old is declaring war on the baseball so vehemently. I don't think people's expectations of Raton extend much beyond that.
No Reds minor leaguer has racked up hits the way Torreyes has since Redus hit .462 at Billings about 30 years ago.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Perhaps, but the fact he hasn't missed a beat in moving to a new league in a new country is certainly reason enough to be even more enthusiastic about the kid than we were a couple weeks ago.Well I think it is a little early to say he carried it on. He has less than 10 games played so far.

Torreyes got hit again last night. He must have at least 15 HBP this year. I have never seen video of him at the plate. Does he stand right on top of the plate or, being a little guy, does he dive into the ball?
From Ben Badler:
Is Ronald Torreyes a legitimate prospect for the Reds, or flukish breakout in VSL/AZL?
Badler - Built like a jockey, but very legit
Jim Callis on Torreyes:
Ronald Torreyes have a real shot to become a top prospect? #Reds
Callis - Not many 5-ft-7 top prospects. Good D at 2B, can handle bat.
I'd love nothing more than to see both Hamilton and Torreyes build upon last year and end up batting one-two in Cincy in about three or four years. Hamilton with a high OBP and his amazing speed and Torreyes behind him with good contact and a small strike zone. It's a long way off, but having your DP combination capable of hitting at the top of the order gives you room for a lot of flexibility (and pop) all the way down the order..

The actress tripped on her way to the stage, but by the time she got to the microphone, the Dolby Theatre crowd applauded her with a standing ovation.
The other nominees Sunday night were Emmanuelle Riva ("Amour"), Quvenzhane Wallis ("Beasts of the Southern Wild"), Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty") and Naomi Watts ("The Impossible").

Need some help from my collector friends. I purchased these 2 teak cans/walking sticks earlier today. Some age to them as the older gentleman told me he purchased them in the Phillipines when he was in the Navy. They look like walking sticks and are beautifully carved, but pull open to reveal a long sharp blade about 11" long. Some marks on the blade. What are they called and were they just something made for the tourists? Thanks for any information.

Just curious, if Colts win 10 or 11 games and have a better record than the 4th seed, do they host the game or no? I doubt Baltimore, New England, or Denver will really falter but just was curious.

"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

There's no doubt the defense and offensive lines are horrific and we're not making a run in the playoffs any time soon until those positions improve and get younger.
As far as the offense itself goes, I've been very impressed with TY Hilton. Vick Ballard has looked good too and he's a big RB who has potential to really barrel through people. We could also go with a two RB system moving forward featuring Ballard and Brown.
But again, the little things on this team are real detriments for the future. Luck needs to be protected much better and he can't be relied on to be Mr. Clutch every game.
The division winners get home field advantage regardless.
I think the defense has been OK (that is not to say 'great' by any stretch though). The system is just so much better now and at least forces teams to be honest. You can't just run all over them and control the clock. You have to mix the pass and the run... and if you put it in the air a lot then it becomes a battle of the QB's. And the Colts look to do OK in that scenario.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

I thought this was kinda neat:
You can pan 360 degrees through this Colts post-locker room celebration video. My favorite part is you can see Robert Mathis come out of nowhere and hop his way in and out of the middle of the celebration huddle.
Never half-a** two things. Whole-a** one thing.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.

Why didn't we run more plays with Fleener after his TD?I'm also talking in general that he may have been a bit underused.Know he had an injury and just came back but just wish we will see more plays involving him in the future.Liked his celebration.
I think it was discussed but AFAIK it didn't get changed...

I disagree. Alot of QBs are good but will not necessarily dominate the game. Only elite QBs can be counted on to do that. We'll see if luck is in that category with time.
Just can't ever count these guys --- and that quarterback --- out. This is the same M.O. every game --- alternate 2-3 good plays with a mistake, hang around and then pull out the win in the 4th. The offense will sandwich an impressive scoring drive with 3 straight 3-and-outs... the defense will sandwich 1 given up touchdown with 3-4 bend-but-don't-break stands.... and then in the 4th quarter it's game on. I had to leave and miss the 4th quarter, and was refreshing my phone like crazy, I couldn't believe when the text read out "Luck touchdown to Avery 0:00", but then again --- I could. At the end of the game, the kid makes plays against all odds.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
is there any video of the entire last drive? My recording shut off :x
I missed the game today, are they going to replay it later tonight?
Here's some data for ya:
- Indy lost the time of posession 22:22 to 37:28. That is domination on Detroit's part.
- Indy turned it over 3 times to Detroits 1.
- Indy was 4-15 on 3rd down --- uncharacteristically bad for them.
- Luck completed 44% of his passes for only 24 completions (4 of them were TDs, tho).
And yet.... they won.

Reminds me of Peyton Manning.
Could be game of the year for the Colts.
Smothered Chicken!
And I think Detroit has lost a lot of games this year this way. They win the stats but not the game.
On the other hand, the Colts tend to win even if they don't play well. We may not have a consistently good team on offense or defense, but we have guys that have a knack for making plays on both offense and defense in important points of a game.
http://www.indystar.com/article/2012...t|IndyStar.comAnd here's the thing that made it even sweeter, a thing you may have missed while watching on TV: On a Don Carey interception with 6:40 to play, Ndamukong Suh laid out Colts right tackle Winston Justice, who left the game with a concussion. Worse, Suh and his teammates stood over Justice and laughed and danced.
After the game, the Colts tough-minded right guard, Mike McGlynn, was still spitting mad. In fact, he didn't run into the end zone to celebrate. He was too busy jawing with Suh and some other Lions.
"Totally ignorant on their part," McGlynn said. "Just childish stuff. We're all battling out there; I don't know if the hit was legal or not, but clearly he was hurt, and they're out there dancing and pointing at him and laughing. Just blatant disrespect. They're good players but there's no room for that. It's disgusting, really.
"If that had happened to one of their players, we'd never do something like that. But that's what makes this even sweeter. That's why they lose. I hope they never win another game."

This was the first road game I ever attended(what a ride). The pure joy of colts fans sprinkled into the majoritys hearts being ripped out was quite an experience. Loved it.

I think this is the most pleasantly surprising season of any sports team I've ever followed. It might be cliche', but this really has been a storybook year.
Luck is at his best when he runs a hurried no huddle. You just expect him to complete a bunch of passes in that situation. As travmil said, that ball to Brazil might be the best ball he's thrown all year. It seems like we're getting a bit better on the deep ball. We had a few deep completions yesterday. Honestly, Reggie should have probably come up with that catch in the endzone on first down at the very end of the game. Luck couldn't have thrown a better ball. It's obvious why this guy was so hyped coming out. He's a super talented freak. Can you imagine how great he's going to be by year 3 or 4? He is going to be absolutely unstoppable.
We have some pretty talented receivers right now. Hilton, Avery, and Brazil have all shown plenty of potential in recent weeks and have come up with big plays. And of course there is Wayne. The catch by Brazil was just as great as the Luck throw.
I hope Fleener can stay healthy for the rest of the season. That was a great snag in the endzone. I wish we would have used our TE's more yesterday. It seems like we kinda went away from them after the Fleener TD. I want to see us use our two TE's like New England does with Gronk and Hernandez. I know that Fleener and Allen aren't as good as those two guys, but they are pretty damn talented rookies. Combine Fleener and Allen with the receivers I mentioned above and that leaves you with some pretty talented targets for Luck. All of these guys can make plays.
Our defense made big third down stops against Detroit all day. You can't really ask them to do much more on the road against a potent offense like Detroit. They gave our offense multiple opportunities and had we lost the game, it would have been on the offense for not making the most out of them.
You can't blame Vontae Davis for that Calvin Johnson TD. If you give Calvin Johnson that much time, then he's going to get himself in a position to catch the ball. He's the best WR in the NFL for a reason. That play wasn't Davis' fault. Stafford and Johnson just had waaaaaaaaay too much time.
We gotta keep this momentum going at home against Tennessee next week. 9-4 would be an absolute chokehold on a wildcard spot.

I've made my thoughts on Bob Lamey known here many times. I won't rehash them again. Suffice to say that listening to Kevin Lee take over yesterday was a breath of fresh air. Loved it.

Calne academy opens field of dreams
9:03am Tuesday 13th November 2012
By Anne Moore
9:03am Tuesday 13th November 2012
By Anne Moore
A school's vision of having classes run outdoors has become a reality.
Springfield Academy in Calne, which cares for vulnerable children, has opened its new Greenfield Campus on land it rents from Goatacre farmer Kevin Iles.
The campus will offer lessons in animal care and therapeutic sessions not just to Springfield pupils, but to students from other schools in the area.
Funding from the Springfields Charitable Trust has paid for a new barn, a custom built classroom so lessons can continue whatever the weather, as well as pens and paddocks.
Over the past two weeks animals have been moving into the new site, including Shetland ponies, hens rescued from battery farms and rare breed pigs. Many of these animals have come from animal sanctuaries and in the future the farm will be home to two donkeys from a donkey rescue centre.
There are also plans to revamp the farm's pond to have ducks there and to have a bee farm producing honey for sale.
Pupils from the Springfields have already visited the land, as have students from Hardenhuish in Chippenham, St John's in Marlborough and from both Devizes and Corsham schools.
The project will be managed by Laura Jones, a qualified zooologist who used to work at London Zoo, and more recently worked for the Greatwood horse rehabilitation centre in Marlborough.
Mrs Jones, who will be working alongside teaching assistant Harriet Baulu, said the new project would help children to learn more about the agricultural industry.
She said: "It's fascinating that children, who you just assume because they live in Wiltshire are familiar with animals, are not used to handling them. They can get a real sense of acheivement caring for animals."
Springfields headteacher Trystan Williams said: "The more facilities we have got the more children we can work with. This is coming from years of evidence based research and we are making the most of animals to have an impact on children's emotional and social health."

Officials confirmed a case of tuberculosis in a heifer from an Oliver County (N.D.) dairy herd.
According to a press release from the North Dakota Department of Agriculture, state and federal veterinarians are now investigating the case.
Susan Keller, the state veterinarian, said the case was found when the owner agreed to have the herd tested after an employee tested positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
The herd owner and employee are fully cooperating with officials, and more testing will be completed to determine the source of the disease and prevent its spread.
