SPARTANBURG, S.C. — A not-so-funny thing happened to Georgia Southern on the way to the Football Bowl Subdivision.
The Eagles might have been hoping to make a statement in their final year in the Southern Conference, but the Wofford Terriers had more resounding words Saturday night.
Southern was dominated along the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and lost to the Terriers 30-20 at Gibbs Stadium.
Georgia Southern dropped to 2-1 and watched its goal of going undefeated in the league trashed in its first conference game.
"You have no choice but to cross that one out," Eagles senior slotback Johnathan Bryant said. "It's a bit heartbreaking, but we'll go back to the drawing board."
Wofford (2-1, 2-0 Southern Conference) ran for 272 yards and dominated play by running between the tackles. Terriers running back Donovan Johnson tied a school record with 36 carries and 141 yards.
"They did a good job blocking us, and we didn't do a very job playing block. They whipped us," Georgia Southern coach Jeff Monken said. "We gave up a couple of big plays (just before halftime) and they're up at halftime."
It was the first time, Georgia Southern lost in Spartanburg since falling to the Terriers 21-17 on Sept. 17, 2005.
Jerick McKinnon, who became only the eighth Eagle to rush for more than 3,000 yards in his career, ran for 114 yards and scored twice on runs of 1 and 2 yards.
Torrance Hunt had the Eagles' other score on a 4-yard run.
Kevin Ellison, who started at quarterback, had 97 yards on 14 carries.
Jonny Martin scored two touchdowns for Wofford. Ray Smith ran for a score and Jeff Ashley probably had the back breaking touchdown, hauling in a 40-yard touchdown pass from Michael Weimer with 22 seconds left in the first half.
Georgia Southern finished with 342 rushing and outgained the Terriers 416-409, but the Eagles never looked in rhythm.
Wofford's defense had 10 tackles for losses. Linebacker Alvin Scioneaux had a team-tying 10 tackles, four for losses with a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
When asked if he thought playing two quarterbacks kept the offense out of sync, Monken was assertive.
"No, I don't," he said.
The Eagles struggled in the first half and fell behind 17-14 after the opening 30 minutes.
Right from the start, Wofford's offensive line opened gaping holes and drove 65 yards on 15 plays, culminating the march on Martin's 1-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0.
The Terriers chewed off runs of 14, 16 and 15 yards on consecutive plays on their next possession and had the Eagles so discombobulated that after faking a run, had tight end Michael Harpe wide open, but quarterback James Lawson threw low or Wofford might have doubled its lead.
The Terriers stalled at the Georgia Southern 33, and the Eagles finally got untracked. Ellison got his team out of a second-and-29 hole at the 30 by completing a 15-yard pass to Zach Walker, before scrambling 53 yards to the Wofford 2.
After a Terrier penalty, McKinnon scored from the 1 to tie the game at 7-7.
But time after time, Wofford showed its resilience. On the kickoff, Nick Colvin broke off a 71-yard return, setting up Kasey Redfern's 40-yard field goal.
Southern responded midway through the second quarter and marched to the Wofford 8. Connor Tierney, a former Aquinas standout, booted the 25-yard field goal, but the Terriers were flagged for roughing the kicker.
Georgia Southern took the points off the board and picked up the touchdown on the first play when slotback Hunt sprinted around end for a 4-yard touchdown and a 14-10 lead.
Wofford drove again, but the Eagles came out unscathed when safety Deion Stanley intercepted a pass in the end zone.
But Southern couldn't run out the first-half clock and the Terriers got another opportunity with 40 seconds left from the Wofford 40. Weimer completed a 20-yard pass to Ashley and on the next play found Ashley again for the remaining 40 yards and a 17-14 lead.
"We had opportunities to make it a game, but we made mistakes," McKinnon said. "There are a lot of things we have to clean up. We have to refocus and sharpen things up."

50MHz UK Activity Contest
This evening I have been listening (and having a few 5W QRP QSOs) in the RSGB 50MHz Activity Contest. This is a good opportunity to find out how effective my wire halo in the loft is. Well, I have worked the locals (G6UW, G3PYE/P and G4BWP) and managed a "QRZ the CW" from G3MEH about 50 miles away. I suspect the results would be several dB better with the halo further up in the air co-located within my 10m halo on the external mast.

Dane Pischke led the Bisons with 28 kills in the two matches. Alberta (19-1), which won 3-1 Friday, has clinched first in Canada West while Manitoba (13-7) is tied for fourth with UBC.
The unranked Bisons women posted an upset of their own on Friday, beating the No. 6-ranked Alberta Pandas 23-25, 26-24, 25-12, 25-23, but lost 3-0 on Saturday. Rachel Cockrell led the Bisons with 40 kills in the two matches. Manitoba (10-10) needs to win one match next weekend against the Saskatchewan Huskies (3-17) to clinch a playoff spot.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/5/2014 (1198 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Two questions arise from the documentary Tim's Vermeer.
One: How did Dutch master Johannes Vermeer paint pictures with almost photo-realistic detail in the 17th century?
Two: Why is the film on the subject produced and directed by the magician duo Penn and Teller?
To answer the second one first, Penn and Teller are illusionists, yes, but they have also been in the business of revealing the mechanics behind illusions.
And the first question? Instead of buying into the accepted notion that Vermeer was simply gifted with a dazzling visual genius, the magicians suggest that technology was available in the 17th century that would have given Vermeer the ability to create his paintings with a proto-photographic technique.
As luck would have it, producer Penn Jillette's friend, inventor Tim Jenison, came up with a precise model of how Vermeer might have done it, incorporating a huge glass lens, a camera obscura projection system and a mirror.
Better: Jenison, a self-made success owing to his invention of digital video breakthroughs, could fund his own project to recreate the Vermeer painting The Music Lesson, in spite of his claim he has no artistic talent.
The effort required Jenison to reconstruct a 400-year-old Dutch drawing room in a Texas facility, right down to the tapestry, rugs, plastered walls and the intricately designed virginal (harpsichord). Once completed, Jenison proceeded to reproduce the painting itself, brush stroke by brush stroke, over the better part of a year.
Supportive of Jenison's project is artist David Hockney, who has long theorized about Vermeer's use of technology.
Jenison's project has been deemed controversial, with some critics horrified at the suggestion that Vermeer was more of a technician than a real artist. On that score, Penn and Teller are remiss in digging up any stuffy art academics to repudiate Jenison's theory.
The film could make a stronger case that Vermeer's genius was revealed not in how he painted, but in what he chose to paint. Even a photographer gets credits for his or her use of light, colour and composition.
Nevertheless, the film is a fascinating piece of work that accomplishes its primary goal: it prompts a provocative reconsideration of art history as we know it, and it does so with a touch of wit and a healthy helping of awe.

Quest Helicopters, a new entrant in the rotorcraft industry, launched a new light-twin helicopter here at the show on Sunday. The AVQ is designed mainly in Ukraine but is to be manufactured in the United Arab Emirates.
The aircraft is an innovative design, featuring two counter-rotating dual rotors in tandem configuration and an ejection capsule for the occupants. First flight is planned for early 2013.
At the Dubai Air Show, Quest Helicopters is exhibiting a full-size mockup and a real cockpit and cabin prototype. Over the past few months it has also been known as "Project Q" although the project can be traced back to the Ru-Mas 240 design from Russian company, Maslova.
The design bureau, led by Volodymyr Udvenko, is also the designer of the AK1-3 helicopter kit, is located in Kharkov, Ukraine. The engines, Progress DB/Motor Sich A1-450M turboshafts, are a new Ukrainian design. They are FADEC-controlled. Rolls-Royce engines are being considered, too.
"This is a testbed," insisted Mike Creed, commercial and deputy project program director. Thanks to the dual-rotor, dual-engine configuration, "we can add plugs into the fuselage." Therefore, the company may decide its first production model will be "a four-seater or a fifteen-seater," depending on flight test results and market response. As for applications, Creed talked about "VIP, police, EMS and utility."
The safety ejection capsule is the main innovation on the AVQ. The cockpit and cabin, encapsulated together, separate from the rest of the airframe (with the two rotors remaining attached). Two parachutes deploy, bringing the two parts gently down to the ground. The safety altitude, from which the capsule can be safely jettisoned, is said to be as low as 300 feet. Four rocket boosters thrust the capsule.
Asked about certification, Creed appeared confident, saying the company would succeed "as long as we prove the design and the maintenance program is right." He said that the system had the potential to save many lives, just like the safety parachute on Cirrus light fixed-wing aircraft.
Moreover, the AVQ will be one of the first civil helicopters to have fly-by-wire controls. "We are talking to two suppliers," Creed said. These two companies are claimed to have already designed and certified helicopter fly-by-wire systems.
Another feature is a "telemetry downlink" maintenance monitoring.
Quest Helicopters is looking for a location in the UAE to build its factory, such as in Umm al-Quwain. It aims to start production in 2014. The idea is to be able to start deliveries immediately after the authorities give their approval. The company plans to assemble some 20 aircraft in the first year, ramping up to 40 in the third year.
According to Creed, Quest currently has a team of 10. It's CEO is Yousef Al Ansari and its chairman is investor Mahmood Al Ansari. The latter has committed to provide "up to $50 million" over five years, starting in 2010, to cover development spending until the first production aircraft is built. Asked about the low initial investment, Creed answered that Ukrainian costs are very competitive.
Quest Helicopters also has hopes that a proposed bilateral agreement between the European Aviation Safety Agency and Ukraine's civil aviation authority will come to fruition, allowing a single certification program to be used. UAE certification is planned, too.

London – Security company G4S on Saturday apologised for not being able to provide the contracted amount of personnel to safeguard the London Olympics which start in less than a fortnight.
G4S said in a statement that it will lose up to £50 million pounds for not meeting the promised number of personnel.
"We are deeply disappointed that we have not been able to fully deliver against our contract with (organising committee) Locog and that it has been necessary to call upon the additional military personnel," G4S chief executive Nick Buckles said.
"In partnership with the military and Locog, we are working flat out around the clock to resolve the situation. We are determined that together we will deliver a successful and secure Games. I would like to thank the members of the current security workforce who are already on the ground securing many of the Olympic sites across the country."
The British government raised the number of military personnel by 3,500 to 17,000 to fill the ranks after G4S admitted to delays and difficulties in processing applicants on time.
The firm had been under contract to provide 10,000 guards, but was likely to fall by around 30 per cent short of its contractual obligations.
"We have recently encountered significant difficulties in processing applicants in sufficient numbers through the necessary training, vetting and accreditation procedures. As a result, we will be unable to deliver all of the necessary workforce numbers," G4S said.
Downing Street warned Thursday that G4S, which has been paid £284 million for the contract, should "face the consequences for its failure to fulfil its contract."
G4S said it expects to have lose "in the range of £35 million to £50 million" for failing to meet its obligations. Company officials will also have to appear before a parliamentary hearing.
The Olympic Games run from July 27 to August 12, and will be followed by the Paralympics from August 29 to September 9. – Sapa-dpa

Stanford Center Advocates for Fair Use on Web
The Fair Use Project at Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society seeks to lay the groundwork for artists and academics to use copyrighted work without permission in certain situations.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Here's a piece of copyright law that's getting a lot of work on the Internet. It's called fair use. It's an exception to copyright that sometimes allows you to use somebody else's work without their permission. That's how we can play you clips of tape from other networks. Scholars use it all the time. And then there was the guy who turned a disco tune to his own purposes.
NPR's Laura Sydell reports.
LAURA SYDELL: Picasso once said good artists copy, great artists steal. Twenty-nine-year-old Javier Prato wasn't sure which one he was doing when he entered his video into a contest in December of 2005.
Mr. JAVIER PRATO (Amateur Video Maker): Filmmakers had to shoot somebody dancing. So I came up with this idea of putting a character dressed like Jesus Christ and singing "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor.
(Soundbite of song, "I Will Survive")
Ms. GLORIA GAYNOR (Singer): (Singing) At first I was afraid, I was petrified, thinking I could never live without you by my side.
SYDELL: Prato actually got in touch with Universal which owns the rights to "I Will Survive" to get permission to use the song. But they never responded. So he just sent it in to the contest. But then, some of his friends started sending it around on email.
Mr. PRATO: My fans, you know, who - people who loved the video, they just put it out there. I mean, I never - they were the ones who put it on YouTube.
SYDELL: Prato's video got extremely popular getting some 2 million hits on YouTube. He was approached by a company that wanted to attach ads to it so Prato could make some money. So he sent another letter to Universal asking permission for rights. Their response was a threatening letter.
Mr. PRATO: They told me, I had to take the video out. Take it off from all the Web sites that are out there, which, of course, I didn't have any control out of it. You know, I didn't - you know, threatened me to a lawsuit if - I have to call them back and discuss monetary losses.
SYDELL: Fortunately, Prato had heard of something called the Fair Use Project at Stanford University, a legal clinic that was founded last year specifically to help artists like Prato. The project's executive director, Anthony Falzone, says they sent out a letter on his behalf saying that Prato's work fits under an exception to copyright law.
Mr. ANTHONY FALZONE (Director, Fair Use Project): Parody is exactly the kind of thing that Fair Use protects. You get to use other people's copyrighted material if you want to parody it. And it shouldn't be taken down on YouTube or interfere with in any way.
SYDELL: Universal backed down on its threats to Prato. The Fair Use Project also recently had what it considers another victory. It was a party in a lawsuit against Viacom, which had sent a takedown notice to YouTube after a spoof of the Colbert report by Moveon.org appeared on the site.
(Soundbite of Colbert Report Spoof)
(Soundbite of bell)
Unidentified Man #1: (As Stephen Colbert) Truthiness(ph).
Unidentified Man #2: Stephen Colbert claims to be an unstoppable truth telling machine.
Unidentified Man #1: (As Stephen Colbert) I'm a steamroller of truth.
Unidentified Man #2: But what if all his talk about truth…
Unidentified Man #1: (As Stephen Colbert) Truth, truth, truth, truth, truth, truth, truth, truth.
Unidentified Man #2: …was the biggest lie of all?
SYDELL: Moveon.org dropped the suit after Viacom officials agreed that the takedown notice have been a mistake. And the company made specific commitments to be more careful in its evaluation of online videos. Falzone says increasingly, big companies, worried about losing control of their copyrighted material, are going overboard by sending out what he sees as frivolous warning letters.
Mr. FALZONE: The mere threat of a copyright lawsuit will scare the pants of your average person and very well may cause them to stop doing what they every right to do.
SYDELL: The Fair Use exception to copyright is not new. It's in part of American common law since the founding of the nation. Falzone of the Fair Use Project says it's meant for a lot more than parody.
Mr. FALZONE: Fair Use protects your right to comment on copyrighted work. Criticize it or conduct scholarly research using it.
SYDELL: So scholars can quote from a book at length, a filmmaker can take a clip from a movie to comment on it and NPR can use movie, television and other sorts of copyrighted material for journalism. The Fair Use Project at Stanford was inspired in part by a study done by two professors at American University.
Patricia Aufderheide is a professor of documentary film there and the director of the Center for Social Media.
Ms. PATRICIA AUFDERHEIDE (Professor of Documentary Film, American University; Director, Center for Social Media): Documentary filmmakers we discovered, were frequently excluding large sections of the documentary genre. They didn't want to do music films. They didn't want to do history films. They wouldn't dream of doing a film that critiqued popular music or popular movies.
SYDELL: And film distributors were weary of taking a risk on the films because insurance companies wouldn't offer legal protection. Now, Aufderheide says she and others at American University's Center for Social Media have put together a guide for filmmakers on Fair Use.
Robert Greenwald, director of the documentary, "Outfoxed," relied on guidance from the Fair Use Project when he made his movie, which was a critique of the conservative bias of Fox News.
Mr. ROBERT GREENWALD (Documentary Director): Without those clips from Fox News, what do you have? You have some experts saying Fox News is good, or Fox News is bad, total different ballgame.
SYDELL: In one segment from Greenwald's "Outfoxed," talk show host Bill O'Reilly appears to be caught in a lie when different segments from his show are shown side by side.
(Soundbite from "Outfoxed" documentary)
Mr. BILL O'REILLY (Host, "The O'Reilly Factor"): If you are so concerned about public figures being bad role models for children, please stop rudely interrupting your guests and telling them to shut up. Well, a shut up line has happened only once in six years, Ms. Evans(ph)…
Unidentified Woman: Oh, you know, I think that asking a student to stay in the closet in order to go (unintelligible)…
Mr. O'REILLY: I'm asking you to shut up about sex.
Unidentified Woman: …by asking an African-American student.
Mr. O'REILLY: No, no, no, no. Shut up.
Unidentified Man #2: Want to know what I'm doing?
Mr. O'REILLY: Shut up. Shut up.
Unidentified Man #2: Oh, please, don't tell me to shut up.
Mr. O'REILLY: If we have some respect…
Mr. GREENWALD: So without any of that guidance and the ability to utilize Fair Use, Fox, of course, would say no, you can't, and then the movie would never exist.
SYDELL: Yet, there are critiques of Stanford's Fair Use Project and the work of professors like Patricia Aufderheide. James DeLong of the Conservative Progress and Freedom Foundation thinks intellectual property is a commodity that should be more tightly protected.
Mr. JAMES DELONG (Senior Fellow, Conservative Progress and Freedom): Our concern is that there are elements, largely in the universities, which really do not favor intellectual property and would like to see it more or less undermined and destroyed. And our view is actually that Fair Use, to a certain degree, should be constricted rather than expanded.
SYDELL: DeLong would like to see some kind of online intellectual property bank where creative people could quickly pay a fee to get access to works they want to use. But video artist Javier Prato says that would hinder his creativity, especially since he does most of his videos as a way to advertise his abilities as an artist, not to make money.
Mr. PRATO: This is just fun. And YouTube and all the Web sites is giving me the chance to show my creativity. And that's great.
SYDELL: As cameras and desktop editing tools get cheaper, there are likely to be even more stories of young artists pushing the edges of creativity and copyright law.

Neil's Pancakes
Find out why the pancakes at Clinton Street Baking Company were voted the best in New York with this recipe from owner Neil Kleinberg. It comes from his "Clinton Street Baking Company Cookbook."
- Yield: Makes 18 to 20 3-inch pancakes
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, Episode 6043
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 6 large eggs, separated
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 teaspoons unmelted for cooking
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups blueberries or sliced bananas and 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar for dusting (optional)
- Maple Butter for Neil's Pancakes
Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large bowl.
In medium bowl, whisk together yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until combined. Whisk yolk mixture into flour mixture until just combined; batter will be slightly lumpy.
Place egg white in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or whisk by hand, until medium peaks form. Gently mix half the egg whites into batter with a rubber spatula. Gently fold in remaining whites. The egg whites should not be fully incorporated into the batter.
Heat a griddle until hot, about 350 to 375 degrees. Add remaining unmelted butter to hot griddle. Add 1/4 cup pancake batter and let set. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon blueberries or sliced bananas and 1 teaspoon chopped walnuts, if using, over pancakes. When bubbles begin to form, lift pancake; if golden brown, turn. Cook until golden brown on remaining side.
Transfer cooked pancake to a plate and keep warm. Repeat process with remaining batter, fruit, and nuts. Garnish with confectioners' sugar for blueberry pancakes and cinnamon sugar for banana-walnut. Serve warm with maple butter.

script_bff15 MAR, 2017Way too sweet for a pancake! And very sponge-y, more like a crepe than a pancake. I don't ever want to try this recipe again to see if I made a mistake by using Half and Half instead of milk. And I added another yolk maybe that changed the consistency?Reply
caroltopping16 DEC, 2010These were very impressive and tasted good too. I'll make them again.Reply

Cats vs mice is a nice strategy-defense game where you play the cats and you need to conquer the land of the mice.
Cats and mice have homes and they need to conquer the other house by colonizing them. This is very easy to do, just click on your home where you have some cats and send them in another house to populate the house. Each time, half of the cats are leaving to your new colonized home. You can also use blockers with pilllow or cactus. You can also send flying helicopter cats. There are 15 levels with different pattern, more and more difficult. The first level are easy but it's becoming more and more difficult when you beat the levels.
Cats vs mice is a very entertaining and sometimes a little frustrating but the overall experience is quite good.

A Sharply-Dressed Gentleman Celebrates Labor Day at the BeachSeptember 16th, 2009
A gentleman hardly considers his outright market domination and boardroom brilliance labor-intensive, yet he still makes the time to celebrate the hard work of the office-drones. As the final holiday of the summer season, a gentleman uses Labor Day parties to retire his summertime, sartorial ensemble. Sporting an immaculate seersucker jacket, a flamboyant shirt and his most seizure-inducing madras pants, a gentleman — over the course of an uproarious cocktail party — will strut his stuff like a pink flamingo, making ribald small talk with fellow party goers and staining said getup with booze, condiments, and hamburger grease, before tossing the tarnished threads into a massive beach bonfire, around which he dances drunk and naked, shouting in indecipherable tongues that only the Gentlemen Gods themselves can fully understand.

Composer-singer-actor Himesh Reshammiya has taken a huge risk by releasing his film Damadamm along with Shahrukh Khan's RA.One. The latest we heard about Himesh is that he is also looking forward to break acting and musical ground internationally with his English film A* Is Killed and the new album Da Edge. After acting in duds like Karzzzz, Radio and Kajraare, Himesh is trying to chalk out a new strategy for his career. "I'm really looking forward to my English film where I'm playing the role of Siddharth Patel," said the 38-year-old. The film, directed by Chrisophe Lenoir, is set for a December release and features Himesh as a musician. His other international project, the music album Da Edge, will release this month in 122 countries, under his own banner HR music, in collaboration with Universal music. "My album has 15 songs and the first single is 'I have been waiting for you so long'. It has been remixed by Edward Maya, the famous trance DJ. Roman White, who directs videos for Justin Bieber, is the video director," he said. Fully confident about Damadamm finding its audience this Diwali, he said, "It's a Diwali release and though it is releasing with huge competition like RA.One, I'm very confident that it will make a mark. I'm confident about it as a product and as a storyline because I know that the central character Sameer, played by me, will instantly connect with the audience. It's a very real character and it's a fun-loving, romantic film." While we wish Himesh all the luck, it seems he is spreading himself too thin. What do you think?

2014 Charlotte (Coca Cola 600) Q&A: NASCAR Sprint Cup - Marcos Ambrose
Posted by: ASkyler on May 22, 2014 - 05:41 PM
2014 Charlotte (Coca Cola 600) Q&A: NASCAR Sprint Cup - Marcos Ambrose
Marcos Ambrose, driver of the No. 9 Twisted Tea Ford Fusion, is still looking for his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win on an oval. Heâs hoping to get that this weekend and spoke about what itâs going to take during a Q&A session with media members today at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
MARCOS AMBROSE - No. 9 Twisted Tea Ford Fusion - CAN YOU TALK ABOUT TWISTED TEA COMING ON BOARD? "Itâs pretty exciting to bring a new sponsor into the sport. Twisted Tea has been around since the early 2000âs, so theyâre a fairly new brand and itâs just great to have them at the Sprint Cup level. Weâve got them here as the naming right sponsor for the 600 and also the second race at Dover, so weâve announced earlier that theyâre an associate sponsor for the entire year, but to get a car naming rights is a big step forward for them and we hope to run well in the 600 for Twisted Tea. Theyâre bringing a lot of folks out here to check us out, so I hope we run well."
HOW IS THE CAR? "The car is pretty good. The track is hot and slick. Charlotte in the afternoon when itâs hot like this is normally pretty nasty and the track was fairly treacherous out there and didnât have a lot of grip. The cars are very aggressive with the setups we run these days, they seem to be pretty stiff and jumpy, and when the track has lost grip like it has in the heat of the day theyâre always tough to hang on to, but weâre OK. We were 15th or 14th in the practice there and we just donât want to overreact to the conditions this afternoon because the 600 is gonna be run in the coolness of night and we know weâve got to be ready for that and not ready for the heat."
SHOULD THIS RACE ALWAYS BE 600 MILES? "Our mindset going into this race is certainly different than the other events that we go to. We know itâs going to be a much longer race. Physically, itâs a lot more demanding on the drivers and we have to make sure the car is comfortable enough to tick off a lot of laps around here. Iâve done well in the 600. I like the length. I like the fact that it is different and the endurance factor certainly comes into play for the 600, so I like it. I donât think we need to change it. We used to have a couple other big mileage races back in the day. This is the last one standing and I think itâs a bit of NASCAR history that should remain."
WHATâS YOUR APPROACH TO THIS RACE? "I think the mindset for most crew chiefs and drivers out there is that the race is gonna be won at night, so your car has to be the best at the end. You just have to be able to get there by staying on the lead lap and not spinning or crashing out by having a loose race car to start. I think thatâs really the mindset going in is that you donât overreact to the heat of the day. We were lucky enough to run well last week in the All-Star prelim and that allowed us to really get a feel for what our package is gonna be for the 600 when the night comes, and weâre gonna just tweak on that setup a little bit and not really think too much about what itâs feeling like out there right now."
WHAT IS YOUR TESTING STRATEGY THIS YEAR? ARE YOU GOING TO TEST ROAD COURSES? "Itâs certainly gonna be the easiest way for us to get locked into the Chase. We need to win races, so the road courses are obviously very important to us, but I would say that weâve put effort into the road course program, but no less anywhere else. I think that our short track program is pretty strong. Our intermediate program is an area weâve been testing at a lot and been thinking about a lot. We came here and tested about two-and-a-half or three weeks ago and that was a big help to us. Weâre gonna go to Michigan next week, so we have intermediates and big oval tracks that we really need to focus on to get our balance right. I would say that the road course is a factor, itâs a factor weâre thinking about but weâre not necessarily putting all of our eggs in that basket."
CAN YOU LOOK AHEAD TO DOVER? "I havenât thought too much about it, to be honest with you. Itâs a concrete race track and you always fight the rubber build-up there, so I think that the bottom is always the place to run at Dover. Iâd like to think with these new cars and the setups weâve got that perhaps the middle and top might come in a little bit, but that could just be wishful thinking, I donât know. Youâve got to really manage the tires that NASCAR and Goodyear bring and you just donât know what that rubber build-up is gonna be like until you see it in practice."
HAS THIS FORMAT CAUSED TEAMS TO CHANGE THERE STRATEGY WITH TESTING? "We certainly had to change the structure in our company to accommodate the extra testing and the extra workload on our employees that we seem to be testing a lot more. Goodyear is testing a lot more, so whenever you get invited to a Goodyear test you would be crazy not to accept, so weâve done a lot more miles this year in practice and testing and we have to change our mindset as far as what we need to do to make the Chase. Youâve just got to win a race. You pick a couple of tracks that you think youâre gonna be your best and certainly hope it works out, but it would be a long year if youâre just relying on two tracks. Youâve got to build your team to try to win anywhere and that consistency is what you need to win races. If you can run Top-5 once, the chances of you winning are pretty slim. If you can run Top-5 a lot, the chances of you winning are a lot greater. For me, thatâs really the approach is that we have to be strong everywhere, but the workload has definitely increased the last couple of years with the extra testing and the mileage that Goodyear and NASCAR are letting the teams do."
ARE OTHER TEAMS IN THE GARAGE TESTING MORE? "Weâre always playing catch-up at RPM, so Iâm not sure what the leading teams are up to - Iâm only part of their deal - but we certainly see and hear a lot of testing going on around the place, and a lot of focus once teams have made the Chase theyâre starting to strategize about once youâre locked in where do you want to put your test days. You certainly donât want to stack them at the front end of the season because you want to save them up to be ready for the Chase."
DO YOU ANTICIPATE RACING IN THE U.S. NEXT YEAR? "Yeah, I do. I do anticipate racing in the U.S. There are a lot of changes in the midst at RPM and Iâm part of that. I have to renew my contract with them, but Iâm gonna do whatever I can to get Richard Petty where he wants to go and his whole company."
HAS YOUR MANAGEMENT TALKED TO YOU ABOUT A MANUFACTURER AND HAVE YOU GIVEN THEM INPUT? "No, I havenât given them input, but we have a great opportunity at Richard Petty Motorsports to improve the situation. Whenever you get a period of time like this where you can shuffle the cards and shuffle the deck, it allows your team to get better. So I think theyâre in a great position. Theyâve got choices, which is the most important thing, and Iâm sure theyâll make the right choices for Richard Petty Motorsports and I fully support them whatever they choose to do."
HAVE YOU SEEN RPM DO MORE TESTING AND IMPROVE WITH MORE FINANCES AT ITS DISPOSAL? "Yeah. Look, Iâve been part of the Petty Motorsport family since they went through all the turmoil with the Gillett crossover and theyâve gone through various stages. Obviously, they had to really just get some stability and then now weâve gotten past stability and weâre working toward the future and bringing new sponsors to NASCAR. We definitely have more funding, we have more infrastructure, we have better people around us, and I think youâre going to the next level for Richard Petty Motorsports. I have seen direct results of the extra money thatâs gone into our company. I think we needed to to keep up and we certainly have made up some ground since 2013, but weâve got a ways to go. Youâve got to look at everything to get better and I know that everybody at Richard Petty Motorsports is doing that, they really are looking at it from the outside-in, seeing what they can do and where they need to go to be the best they can be."
MARCOS AMBROSE CONTINUED -- CAN YOU TALK ABOUT BEN RHODES? HE STARTED HIS CAREER WITH MARCOS AMBROSE MOTORSPORTS, SO DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH HIM? "I have no official association with Ben, but I obviously watch him closely. Heâs a great kid and a fantastic talent and heâs certainly somebody that needs be kept an eye on. Heâs doing great things. Heâs taken an opportunity that he had with Turner and heâs made the most of it, and heâs a great young kid and a great young driver, but I donât have any official association with him. I still speak to him from time to time and see him at the track, and I wish him the most success."
DID YOU OR YOUR FATHER HAVE ANY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LATE JACK BRABHAM? "My father knew the family a little bit. I know David Brabham and I guess the next generation of Brabhams, and now thereâs a third-generation of racers coming through with David and Geoffâs sons coming through doing very, very well in their own racing careers. They are Australiaâs version of the Petty family. The great thing about Jack Brabham was not only was he a fantastic race car driver, but he built his own cars. He was the engineer, he was the mechanic and he was the driver. To think of what he was able to achieve from very humble beginnings, he took himself to Europe and started his own company, building his own race cars for himself. Itâs a pretty amazing story and a lot of those guys back then were like that. Bruce McLaren was like that from New Zealand and Denny Hulme to a certain extent and Jack is certainly a big figure head in Australian racing and paved the way for guys like me to go to Europe and have a go. He was a great man. Iâve met him a few times and was sorry to see him go, but he left a great legacy for Australian racing no doubt."

We're addicted to the number. The number peers up at us and can either make or break our day. Or our self-esteem. Or our sanity.
So should we regularly weigh ourselves? Well, yeah. But it's not as important as you think. Here's 5 other ways to measure your gravitational affect on the earth.
- Your Clothes. How do they fit? I use the tightness of my belt as the first warning sign I've had too many nights of wings and beer. Don't ignore pants that don't fit the same as they once did. Or seams ripping when you exhale…
- Your Reflection. You see it every day. It can creep up on you, but if you pay attention it's a quick way to see if things are hanging like they once were.
- Your Trouble spots. Mine are my love handles. I can quickly feel the spare tire starting when I'm gaining a pound or two. I don't like how it feels. So I resolve to fix it.
- A Flight of Stairs. Here we're gauging our fitness. Which, of course, is directly tied to our weight and our…
- Self-Confidence. I've always experienced a little boost in confidence when I feel I'm at an appropriate weight. If you feel so good you're strutting, go with it. Who cares if you look like a fool.
You're more than a number…..
Any other ways you use to track weight sans scale?

|Official Title:
|Age at Menopause and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease Among Postmenopausal Women With Acute Coronary Syndromes
- Extent of coronary artery disease at angio corelab (Gensini and SYNTAX score) [ Time Frame: 1 day ]The primary study end-point will be the severity of coronary artery disease, as appraised by the Gensini score
|Study Start Date:
|April 2014
|Study Completion Date:
|October 2015
|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Stratification by gender and age, including 4 age categories
>=55-64 years
|Age >=65 to 74
|Age >=75 to 84
|Age >=85
Detailed Description:
Multicenter prospective study in consecutive patients hospitalized with a wide spectrum of ACS and clinical indication to coronary angiography.
Consecutive patients older than 55 years with an ACS undergoing coronary angiography are eligible for the study, irrespective of subsequent revascularization. Eligible are women and men with a 2:1 enrolment ratio.
Patients will be stratified according to gender and age, including four age categories: 55-64, 65-74, 75-85 and >85 years. Each age category will include 200 patients, and enrolment in each category will be stopped once this number has been reached.
A specific electronic web-based CRF will collect clinical and procedural data. Clinical data input will take place at the participating Centers. Angiographic data input will be performed at rthe angiographic corelab, blinded of clinical data.
The e-CRF will collect data on
- the characteristics of the ACS
- the relevant risk factors for CAD and known prognostically relevant variables
- prior clinical history (prior MI, PCI, CABG, heart failure, stroke)
- in women fertility history will be captured by specific items, including age at first and last menstrual period, past use of oral contraceptives, ongoing and past hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whether they had undergone a hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy, as well as information on the number of full-term pregnancies (the sum of live births and stillbirths). Age at menarche is defined as the age at the first menstrual period. Reproductive life span is automatically calculated calculated by subtracting the age at menarche from the age at menopause. The presence of hot flushes, their severity and duration in years will be also captured.
The extent of coronary artery disease will be evaluated at a central corelab using the Gensini score and the SYNTAX score
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|55 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients >55 years of age with all of the following characteristics:
- symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial ischemia within the previous 48 hours.
- The diagnosis of an ACS must be confirmed by a typical rise and fall in serum troponin levels as defined by the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction.
- ECG signs of myocardial ischemia defined as either transient or persistent ST segment elevation or depression >0.5 mm (but >1 mm in the case of ST-segment elevation), or persistent and definite T-wave inversion >1 mm, including the pseudonormalization of a previously negative T-wave, in ≥2 contiguous leads.

In 1919, when William Ifould, the principal librarian of the Mitchell Library, placed a newspaper advertisement offering ''good prices'' for the original diaries of Australian soldiers who had taken part in the Great War, there was a promising response.
But Ifould was a hard man to please: he was scathing of some offerings and rejected others in his quest for good-quality accounts for future students.
Now, as the centenary of the start of World War I nears, the diaries are being re-examined, rediscovered and digitised for a new audience online.
The stories make for remarkable reading. In the diary of Private George McClintock is found a pressed red poppy. It is thought McClintock, who served at Gallipoli and the Western Front, picked the flower on a battlefield.
In other diaries are French needlework postcards sent home to loved ones and a collection of sketches by signaller Jim Marshall, who was 17 when he signed up, from Newtown.
One real ''boy's own'' adventure emerges from the diary of Keith Harris, who was thought to be one of the youngest prisoners of war. Aged just 15, Harris was serving on the merchant ship Matunga when he was captured by the German raider SMS Wolf in 1917.
The Matunga had picked up stores and fuel in Newcastle and was bound for New Guinea when the Wolf picked up radio messages out of Sydney.
Harris wrote of the German raider: ''She came to within a distance of about 300 yards, turned broadside, and fired a shot across our bow, at the same time hoisting the German ensign, and ordered us to stop.
''We then saw a motor launch leaving the raider and making for us. The motor boat came alongside us and a Prize Crew came on board. The first words the German officer said were, 'Good morning, you are late'.'' So we were. We were about half a day late. We afterwards discovered that the Huns knew our every movement from the time we left Sydney.''
The Matunga was scuttled and the crew taken to Kiel in northern Germany, where they were marched by their captors to the bathhouse. The Germans clipped their hair as close as possible and the rest of the hair on their bodies was burnt off by a chemical-like blue-grey paint.
''We were on the way to work at 5.45am wondering what our work would be. Well we soon found out. After we had walked for three-quarters of an hour … and found we had to dig the stones and sand from between the sleepers on the railway lines … and put fresh stones in the place of the sand. We finished work for dinner at 12 noon, and it was enough to make one's heart ache to see what we had to eat. It was plain turnips cooked in water and dumped into cans as it was cooked. We started work again at 1pm, the sentries watching us like a cat watches a mouse, and if we stopped work you were liable to be struck with the butt end of a rifle, or a bayonet.
''One Sunday we heard a shot and went outside and found that somebody had shot a big cat. We jumped on this, cooked and ate it, and in the state we were in, enjoyed it. About a week later we caught another cat, and also killed and ate it. My word, weren't we hungry.''
After the Armistice, Harris was repatriated to England in December 1918. He sent a cable stating ''London Well - Love, Xmas Greetings'' to Mrs Harris, Northcliffe Street, Milsons Point, Sydney.
Another diarist, Thomas Ray Crooks, who served in Gallipoli and France, was awarded the Military Cross for ''conspicuous gallantry & devotion to duty'' for commanding a ''carrying party supplying the front line with grenades''.
The 30-year-old writes delightfully about the presentation ceremony with the King, held on his own because an administrative bungle meant that he missed the ceremony in the morning, when all the others received their medals.
''I missed the Investiture this morning at the Palace … and arrangements were made so that I should receive my Cross that afternoon. So at 3 o,clock I was taken to Buckingham Palace on my own and after wandering through several corridors and large, gaudy, halls etc, I was finally ushered into the King's presence, sure I felt a little excited being all on my own before the King-Emperor of the greatest Empire the world has ever known, (I also felt a wee bit proud of myself when he pinned the Military Cross on my breast and shook me by the hand), exactly what he said to me I cannot quite remember as I was in a sort of fairyland …''
Elise Edmonds, a librarian at the State Library, says some 1000 diaries by 400 diarists are being transcribed by a small group of volunteers fuelled by cups of tea.
''We have only just started but we have done 97 so far,'' she says. ''I don't think by 2014 we will have everything up but it is a developing and growing story.
''The interest is massive.''

Nakheel awards Jotun Paints Dh25m 'Discover Gardens' contract
Dubai based property developer Nakheel recently awarded Jotun Paints a Dh25 million contract for Dubai's Discovery Gardens project, in which Jotun will supply high quality paints and coatings for the development's structures.
The contract includes the supply of interior and exterior paints for the entire block of buildings that comprise the project by 2007, according to Khaleej Times. Discovery Gardens is a 420,000 square meter pre-designed development complex comprised of themed communities, including Mediterranean, Zen, Contemporary, Cactus, Mogul and Mesoamerican courtyard gardens.
Jotun Paints has already reportedly begun supplying its Fenomastic Gold brand to paint the project's interiors. For the project's exterior surfaces, it is supplying the Jotathane brand paint.
Speaking of the importance of the deal for the company, Arve Hermansen, General Manager for Decorative Sales, Jotun Paints stated: "This is an important win for us, one that reinforces our leadership position in the local market."
"Discovery Gardens is a one-of-its-kind residential project that is daunting in its scale, and Jotun Paints is uniquely positioned to undertake and successfully execute such mega projects within a short timeframe," he added.
Discovery Gardens features multi-sized spacious stucco colored apartments set amidst landscaped lawns lush foliage, and all modern amenities.

To help tribes become aware of the significance of tribal transportation issues through education and training, to help tribes define transportation systems that enhance community and economic development, promote desired land use, protect cultural resources, to orient and coordinate federal, state and local governments, and maximize efficient use of indigenous transportation resources.
In April 2007, the Interior-Aleutians Campus (I-AC), College of Rural and Community Development at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) were awarded a Tribal Technical Assistance Program grant by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration to bring the Alaska Tribal Technical Assistance Program (AKTTAP) to Alaska. The AKTTAP is housed at the Interior-Aleutians Campus of UAF and will continue to provide information while expanding the opportunities for access to education and technical assistance to further meet the needs of Alaska's Tribal Governments.
UAF and I-AC have extensive experience in providing distance education in Alaska and plan to build on that experience to expand and provide training and workshops at the village level, through audio, video, internet based, and even paper based independent study. The AKTTAP will also provide linkages to the materials and technical assistance available through the Alaska University Transportation Center (AUTC) and the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) located in Fairbanks. As one of the most significant benefits of bringing the program to Alaska, we are looking forward to increased involvement and collaboration with Alaska's Tribal Governments, with the overall goal of providing a greater opportunity for tribal input as well as increased responsiveness to the needs of Alaska's tribal communities.
The Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) and Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) are composed of a network of 58 Centers – one in every state, Puerto Rico and regional Centers serving tribal governments. The LTAP/TTAP Centers enable local counties, parishes, townships, cities and towns to improve their roads and bridges by supplying them with a variety of training programs, an information clearinghouse, new and existing technology updates, personalized technical assistance and newsletters.
Through these core services, Centers provide access to training and information that may not have otherwise been accessible. Centers are able to provide local road departments with workforce development services; resources to enhance safety and security; solutions to environmental, congestion, capacity and other issues; technical publications; and training videos and materials.

Work has started on a major upgrade to the cafe at Bramhope's Golden Acre Park.
The scheme, which will cost more than £170,000, will see a new conservatory added to the existing building. There will also be improved toilet facilities for disabled visitors and baby changing facilities.
The project will be funded through a Leeds City Council partnership with local company Franklin Windows, who are providing £100,000 worth of work in return for sponsorship benefits at the park and cafe.
The scheme was given the go-ahead by the council last year and building work started this month.
The cafe has been unable to cope with the volume of visitors at the busiest times of day, but the upgrade will increase the indoor seating capacity from 46 to 86.
Josh Franklin said: "Leeds is fortunate to have a number of parks, of which Golden Acre is particularly attractive.
"It is especially significant to us as my grandad, Clifford Franklin, loved it and when he died we erected a bench there in his memory.
"We at Franklin Windows Ltd are thrilled the project has now officially started. We are looking forward to transforming the Bakery Cafe with a beautifully designed conservatory.
"Our grandad would have been so proud to know we are creating part of the landscape at one of Leeds' loveliest locations whilst also ensuring that more visitors can enjoy the delights of the cafe."

Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom cameraphone confirmed by Bluetooth SIG filing, to sport 10x optical zoom
0. phoneArena posted on 10 May 2013, 05:04
Not that it should come as any surprise, but the upcoming Galaxy S4 Zoom cameraphone is allegedly going to sport a hearty 10x optical zoom, according to a Russian analyst who's leaked quite a few Samsung-based rumors already, like live shots of the S4 Mini and predicted the Galaxy Core introduction not long ago...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. hung2900 (Posts: 965; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
10x zoom without OIS is useless.
8. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
still better to have 1 better device than 2 great devices (great phone+great camera) for many! More than 50 % of photos on the internet are from phones = acceptable quality.....so why not having innovations? Are you for innovations? :)
9. EXkurogane (Posts: 863; Member since: 07 Mar 2013)
OIS is a separate issue, but the phone will be really bulky. Samsung is the one which will be making REAL bricks.
11. ahmed_ali_yossef2010 (Posts: 164; Member since: 26 Jul 2012)
even nokia made its pure view 808 bulky
what about samsung :)
13. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
The 808 Pureview is 13.9mm thick, the Galaxy S4 Zoom will be thicker right? Because of the big lens on it's back.
31. ahmed_ali_yossef2010 (Posts: 164; Member since: 26 Jul 2012)
it's 13.9 at the thinnest part but 18mm at the lens part
isn't this bulky ?
and yeah I meant that the s4 zoom will be thick
2. asingha94 (Posts: 295; Member since: 08 Apr 2012)
Pureview ftw!except that i can only believe in sony!samsung proved themselves that how behind they are from Nokia & sony camera technology by releasing galaxysh**!! Anyway who going to give a f**k about this ugly bulky brick!
10. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1310; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
sony hasn't proven anything yet, their smartphone cameras has lost to nokia, samsung and iphones so wtf are you talking about?
19. Kurai (unregistered)
apple and samsung use sony censors fyi . . .
28. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1310; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
and how does that explain sony's smartphones camera quality?
3. surethom (Posts: 956; Member since: 04 Mar 2009)
Please have 32gb internal memory or at least 16gb 8gb is more than usless all my apps, the OS will use almost all the 8gb.

It will surely come with a big @ss lens, protruding like a gigantic eyeball...
5. eness (Posts: 6; Member since: 03 May 2013)
damn its a super ugly phone
6. FlushGordon (unregistered)
How do you know?
You seen the prototype model already?
17. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
That was a reasonable assumption. Seeing as pretty much every device in SS's current portfolio look ugly.
18. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
Well, I think the Note 3 will look gorgeous.
Just wait and see........
22. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
Not unless it's metal and SS said the reason they don't use metal is that they need to make phones in large quantities.
12. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
Super ugly? Have you seen the phone already?
Really dude? Really?
20. Kurai (unregistered)
imo i don't think that samsung will not follow the same design language as the s4 like the one they did with the s3, young, fame, express, s3 mini, duos, etc . . . . . imo it will be entirely made of plastic and will resemble the s4 with a huge big boob on it's back . . .
21. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
I agree.
7. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
yeah sure just like last one epic FAILed camera with worse quality then even phones
14. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
I'll pass. The S4's Sony sensor hands down beats the Galaxy Camera's Samsung in every way but zooming, and this has the same sensor written all over it (considering this is basically a phoned down Galaxy Camera). The Sony Honami looks promising with a much larger Exmor RS, but then we have the horrific processing of the Xperia Z.
In the end, the Nokia EOS will be the category winner, unless Samsung pulls a super sensor out of it's a**.
15. shadez10 (Posts: 427; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
This will fail... i can smell it. LoL
23. lpratas (banned) (Posts: 398; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
This will fail? You know it? You are an envious because your Xperia Z, or HTC One or even your Iphone 5 doesn't has it, you understood, you moron?
29. Kurai (unregistered)
well, who wants a phone with a big large humongous hump at the back of their phone? . . if you're that desperate to have the best image quality, why not consider buying a dslr? if that is you have enough money
16. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
this king of zoom is useless unless you have OIS or if you use a tripod because even a little shake of hand becomes a huge problem at that zoom level. Edit: sorry didnt read the first comment.
24. docj8404 (Posts: 73; Member since: 23 Jan 2013)
I'm curious to not only see the form factor, but to see if this will be marketed as a mid-range device or a mid-upper range. I imagine that this could be a decent opportunity to provide a solid spec'd device (720p display, Dual-Core A-15 or Quad-Core A9 ,1.5-2GB RAM, 32-64GB onboard storage) along with a great camera experience, all in 4.3 - 4.5" screen space that is currently missing from the market.
25. Lyngdoh (Posts: 298; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
If it does'nt resemble galaxy s4 why does it have to be called s4 anyway? Can't they just called it galaxy zoom? Samsung marketing strategy everybody!

Before you say it.. I'm no apple fan.
27. docj8404 (Posts: 73; Member since: 23 Jan 2013)
@Lyngdoh... You do have a point. With the amount of phones, low - high end, that Samsung has flooded their markets with, the "Galaxy" name, in a way, has kind of been tainted, as I think the "Galaxy" moniker should of been reserved and exclusive for their high end devices/Flagships.

It was, quite literally, the craziest ending to a game the San Fernando Valley has seen in decades, if not forever.
The storied rivalry involved only makes it that much more remarkable. Video: Watch Crespi's winning play.
The fact one team raced back from a three-touchdown second-half deficit to win it just thickens the plot.
And the significance of the game simply adds to the drama and zaniness.
Bottom line, however you wish to describe the play that gave Crespi High a miraculous, unthinkable 34-28 victory over Notre Dame on Friday to push the Celts into the playoffs and deny the Knights a postseason berth for the first time in more than 25 years, it likely won't do it justice.
It was a you-had-to-be-there moment if there ever was one.
But here it goes.
With the score tied at 28 -- and only after the Celts scored 21 unanswered points through the third and fourth quarters -- Crespi snapped the ball from its own 30-yard-line with four seconds remaining.
Time had expired by the time Kenny Stenhouse lofted the ball to Michael Davison on the right sideline around the 45-yard line, with Davison making his way up the field, juking a couple of tacklers as he angled to the middle of the field.
Davison broke another tackle at midfield, then reached the Knights 45 just as a tackler wrapped him up.
But before he went down, he pitched the ball back to Terrence Williams, who fought his way to the left sideline, eluded a couple of tacklers and began weaving his way through traffic.
That is when it got really interesting.
He got to the 30, then the 25. Then it was on to the 15 and the 10.
Just then a Notre Dame tackler angled over to him and got a hold of his legs for what seemed to be a game-ending tackle.
But Williams fought through the tackle, got to the 5-yard line and dove toward the end zone, carrying the tackler with him as he crossed the goal line for the winning touchdown.
What ensued was bedlam.
"I wasn't going to be stopped, no way, no how," Williams screamed afterward. "I don't care if Ray Lewis was in front of me, he was going down and I was scoring."
As crazy as the play was, the Celts actually practice it.
"Wednesday practice, that's what we do," Davison said.
All part of the Crespi plan.
"It's about being prepared for whatever the situation is," Celts coach Jon Mack said.
It might go back further than that.
"A lot of us have been playing football together since we were little kids," Davison said. "It's chemistry. We knew what we were doing out there."
For the Knights, the loss was devastating, their season coming to an end earlier than it has in decades.
And to think, it all looked so promising after they built a 28-7 lead by the end of the first half.
Notre Dame did it by first rediscovering its offensive swagger, putting Crespi in a 21-point halftime hole behind the legs of Khalfani Muhammad and Wallace Dalglish, then relying on its defense
Muhammad scored two first-half touchdowns on runs of 18 and 1 yard. Dalglish added another first-half score on a 2-yard run.
Together, they carved up 131 yards rushing on Crespi over the first quarter.
In between, Notre Dame quarterback Matt Lathuras threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Cole Spurlin, who helped give the Knights field position when he intercepted Stenhouse in Crespi territory.
Crespi's lone touchdown of the first half came on a 63-yard pass from Stenhouse to Christopher Harper.
But it was all Crespi (7-3, 2-2) after that, their confidence growing through the second half.
The Celts cut the lead to 14 when Williams scored on a 2-yard run to make the score 28-14 with six minutes left in the third quarter.
Less then four minutes later, the lead was down to a touchdown after Stenhouse found Davison in the middle of the end zone on a 2-yard touchdown pass.
Just like that, Notre Dame (2-8, 1-3) was suddenly clinging to a 28-21 lead, its offense suddenly stagnant and the defense getting pushed around.
The downward spiral only continued.
After failing to cash in on Nick Holland's interception early in the fourth quarter, Notre Dame gave the ball back to the Celts on their 9-yard line, which became the starting point for a six-play, 89-yard scoring drive, Stenhouse getting the touchdown on a 2-yard keeper.
Notre Dame was offside on the PAT, and Crespi opted to go for two.
But before the Celts could get the play off they were penalized for taking too much time. Instead, of going for the conversion, they had to settle for a tie when Patrick Mcdonough kicked the extra point. All it did was set up one of the most miraculous plays in region history.
"It makes it that much sweeter," Williams said. "It was meant to be."
