LiveHorsemeat scandal: Somerset County Council investigating school meals
Enable automatic updates every minute? YES NO
SOMERSET County Council has said it is investigating whether school meals being served to pupils is laced with horsemeat.
A spokesman told the County Gazette: "We are liaising with schools and catering contractors to make sure that the food chain to Somerset schools is safe."
LJ Potter Partners says it has taken steps to recall meat delivered to France.
The firm also said it hasn't processed horses this week.
A full statement read: "LJ Potter Partners warned DEFRA that the Horse Passport Regulations would not ensure public health when the regulations were being drafted into British Law.
"All equines humanely destroyed by us have been accompanied by their passport permitting entry to the food chain.
"In addition to EU Regulations all suppliers are required to sign a declaration declaring that the animal has not been treated with drugs that would require permanent exclusion from the food chain, and that withdrawal periods have been observed for permitted drugs; prior to the 2005 regulations we required a strict 28 day withdrawal from all medication and in those circumstances we had zero positive test results for residues of Phenylbutozone during a period covering more than 20 years.
"We wish to produce meat that is wholesome, nutritious, good value and, most importantly, safe.
"The current EU Regulations have been proved, beyond all doubt, to be ineffective in permitting us to do this; they additionally are inappropriately excluding large numbers of horses from the legitimate food chain.
"It is our belief that this has been the causal condition that has led to large numbers of horses entering the food chain illegitimately.
"The fraudulent misrepresentation of horsemeat is a direct consequence of ignorant, mis-informed, badly drafted EU legislation.
"It is our belief that the majority of equines with a passport signed out of the food chain have a similar residue profile to those permitted to enter the food chain, and that the current news story proves that the Horse Passport Regulations 2005 & 2009 are wholly inappropriate to the control of equines permitted to enter the food chain.
"Having been informed of positive samples taken over the past two weeks, we have already taken steps to recall meat delivered to France in order to protect our French customers.
"We have, also, not processed horses this week to permit the FSA to put in place a test that is able to provide results prior to meat being despatched.
"We believe that this interim measure will ensure public safety. We will not process horses again until these measures are in place.
"We firmly believe that the humane destruction of horses for the human food chain has an important role to play in ensuring horse welfare, as otherwise unwanted horses would be left to enter a downward spiral to neglect.
"We are seeking a fundamental reappraisal of the legislation to permit our legitimate industry to perform its dual role in protecting horse welfare and providing customers who wish to purchase and consume horsemeat with a product in which they can be confident."
THE County Gazette has this afternoon been told by Stillman's that traces of bute found in carcasses slaughtered at its abattoir has nothing to do with them.
The firm says LJ Potter Partners, which slaughtered the six horse carcasses, simply rents its abattoir in Staplegrove one day a week.
Stillman's reiterated it does not buy or sell anything to do with horses.
BUTE, also known as phenylbutazone, in an anti-inflammatory drug potentially dangerous to humans.
But the UK's chief medical officer Dame Sally Davies said the risk was low.
In a statement, she said: "We are working closely with FSA and Defra to investigate how horsemeat got into the UK food chain.
"There is nothing to suggest a safety risk to consumers who may have eaten the products. All of the retailers involved so far have removed potentially affected products from their shelves.
"Phenylbutazone is used to treat some people who suffer from ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis.
"However, there are international checks to prevent phenylbutazone from entering the food chain because there is a low risk of serious effects – such as aplastic anaemia – in some people.
"As such, it presents a limited public health risk and I support the FSA advice that it should be excluded from the food chain.
"There is currently no indication that phenylbutazone – bute – is present in any of the products that have been identified in this country but the FSA has ordered further tests to confirm this.
"It's understandable that people will be concerned, but it is important to emphasise that, even if bute is found to be present at low levels, there is a very low risk indeed that it would cause any harm to health."
A SLAUGHTERHOUSE in Somerset has been caught up in the horsemeat scandal.
Six horse carcasses slaughtered by LJ Potter Partners at Stillman's (Somerset) Ltd 'may have entered the food chain,' the Food Standards Agency announced today (February 14).
The FSA has been testing for the presence of bute, which is not allowed to enter the food chain, since January 30 and said traces were found in six carcasses from Stillman's and sent to France.
The agency is gathering information on the carcasses and will work with the French authorities to trace them.

Ben Volin @BenVolinPBP Sherman also credits OL coach Jim Turner for helping John Jerry lose about 35 pounds since the start of camp
and it shows, jerry playing solid
Yet the OL guru couldn't accomplish this. Sparano is looking more inept as this season goes along. Glad he is the Jets problem now.
Jim Turner has done great work this year.
its that Navy Seal workout regimen.
Once Dmac is drafted a Dmac Jersey will spontaneously materialize in the closet of each and every Dolfan...
...and not that replica crap either...
Yup Jerry has played great, especially considering that at one point I thought he should have been cut! A few were critical of him yesterday but he was going up against a pro bowler, players like that will get past you at some point.
Turner is a great coach IMO. I like his approach to the game and we all saw Jerry throw up those 35 lbs. on Hardknocks too.
Hopefully the light has turned on for Jerry and he continues to maintain his weight even in the off season.

"...the best quarterback I believe is Dan Marino..."

It probably helped that he was embarrassed on national television. I know it definitely would have helped motivate me!

I LOVE THIS RUG! It really makes my room look like a design catalogue. If you have pets or small children I would be careful since the way the rug is designed it doesn't make it easy to get stains out of without leaving the rug to look like you've rubbed it. FYI.
This rug is absolutely gorgeous. I purchased it for my closet and it makes me smile every time I step on it. It makes my closet feel so luxurious. The rug is very soft and the color is a beautiful silver. My children also love how soft this rug is - they get on the floor and roll around on it. It is so completely worth the price, if I had a space to put another, I would purchase this rug again. Thanks overstock!
excellent looks and feels great. perfect description very minimal initial shedding
It's pretty thin, wish it was a bit thicker. It doesn't seem to stainless like wool, especially it's not washable.
I kept coming back to this rug online, because I wanted a new bedroom rug. Finally I purchased it, and am very happy I did! The REAL color of this rug is somewhat different than the online picture, at least in a room with little natural light. It is silvery sea foam, and not the soft gray that the online photo shows. The actual pattern on the rug is formed by a high-low cut of the soft fibers, making a modern, stepped diamond shape. I purchased a rug pad from Overstock at the same time, so that it would support, and keep the new rug where it belongs on my wood floors. Make sure you get a pad slightly bigger so you can trim it to the rugs actual size, as it's not a regular size. The sheen on the rug is beautiful, and the color oddly enough, worked for the room. I am an Overstock.com fan, so any little variation in the finish or color didn't change my decision to keep this rug. I left off one star because of the color description for those that want a true 'gray' rug.
Very nice rug, looks like silk, the geometric pattern is very trendy with mid century style. Highly recommended. Looks very luxurious and expansive!!
This rug is PAPER THIN. It is a very very very light gray, it almost looks white.
I initially ordered this rug for my tv/family room but changed my mind and placed it on the living room due to concern with cleaning. Its a beautiful rug, bright and slick but not advisable for a a traffic area.

12 'True Blood' Hotties for the Holidays -- Thank You, Santa Claus! (PHOTOS)

On the first day of Christmas, my True Blood gave to me: Hot vampires in their skivvies ... Okay, so we don't even have 12 days of Christmas left (yikes!). There's still no place like Bon Temps for the holidays, and you can never have too many hot vampires/werewolves/shifters, right? And since Santa can't really leave Alexander Skarsgard, Stephen Moyer, Joe Manganiello, Ryan Kwanten, or Sam Trammell under the tree, we figured a gorgeous gallery of our favorite guys was the next best gift we could give to our fellow Truebies ...

"Anything is good if it's made of chocolate." ~Jo Brand
Last weekend I got together with some of my favorite girls for a little chat, a lot of chow and a ton of laughs. We try to meet up every couple of months on a Saturday afternoon for a few hours and reconnect over good food and a tasty cocktail.
Val brought a dessert that was absolutely delicious...peanut butter cup bars. They were sweet and light and almost too good to be true. Almost. Since they were very real and I really enjoyed the one I had. Ok, the two I had. Oh alright what is this, the Spanish Inquisition? I had three. Sheesh!
Val sent us the recipe, which she found on browneyedbaker.com. It is a must try.
Val's Amazing Peanut Butter Cup Bars
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- Line an 8×8-inch square pan with foil, leaving enough to hang over the sides, then butter the foil. Set aside.
- In a saucepan melt ½ cup of butter over low heat.
- Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar until smooth.
- Stir peanut butter and graham cracker crumbs until combined and smooth.
- Spread peanut butter mixture into the pan and smooth the top.
- In the empty saucepan melt ¼ cup unsalted butter.
- Add chocolate and stir until almost completely melted.
- Remove from heat and continue stirring until completely melted.
- Pour melted chocolate over peanut butter layer and smooth into an even layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Remove from the pan using the foil overhangs and place on a cutting board.
- Use a pizza cutter to slice into 16 bars.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

YAKIMA, WA - The holidays are a time when families get together and enjoy each other's company, but for many elderly people that is not the case.
"Depression is very, very common in our community this time of the year, winter however, makes depression worse," said Dr. Qilin Lu from Yakima Regional Hospital.
Doctors and caregivers said they see depression rise during the holiday season because they are alone, and sometimes forgotten
"Not forgetting about them because they feel forgotten and this is one population that is forgotten," said Karen Sousley from Chesterley Meadows elder Care in Yakima.
But they say there is a way to get their spirits up
"There's three things, three components really that we try to focus on and more than anything it's going to be a sense of community and social involvement," Sousley said.
Doctors said however that might not be enough, even the weather adds to the depression.
"There's a condition called seasonal affective disorder where it not only affects the people who already have depression, it affects a normal person," Dr. Lu said.
Exercise and nutrition can help reduce this. Care providers said even the smallest gesture can make the biggest impact.
"Just extra hellos, or a knock at the door, just want to see how you're doing. I just can't say enough about reaching out to your own parents and loved ones and never assume that they don't have that feeling," Sousley said.
Doctors and caregivers said another trigger for holiday depression is this might be their first Christmas alone because of a loved one who passed away or they are unable to travel to be with their families.

circleofsnakes: From an unknown New Orleans newspaper, October 1982:
COPS HEX VOODOO PUNKERS NEW ORLEANS (UPI) - Seven punk rock music fans looking for the tomb of a voodoo queen and arrested for trespassing have filed complaints against city police. A police spokesman declined comment on the case Sunday pending results of an internal investigation. Police arrested 18 people including members of the punk band The Misfits. Police said several members of the group carried chains and many of the women sported bald heads or Mohawk haircuts. A 16 year old girl arrested at the cemetery filed a false arrest and battery complaint, claiming an officer struck her in the face with a flashlight when she refused to say whether she was male or female. Carlos Diaz, 27, of Metarie, LA, told police the group went to the cemetery to find the tomb of legendary voodoo queen Marie Laveau following a performance by the band. He said they looked through the cemetery gates, but had not entered the grounds when they were arrested.
From an interview with Glenn in spring 1983:
Glenn: ...like the New Orleans police -- Gestapo! They took us and 20 fans -- 3 paddy wagons. Interviewer: Do you have a militant stand against cops? Glenn: Cops have fucked with us all our lives. Down in New Orleans we got arrested for being in a graveyard late at night. Interviewer: What do the Misfits have to say about the world? Glenn: It sucks. Interviewer: Thanks.

Life in Words: African Women Poets
Often we see the dominance of men in literary writing; anywhere from poetry to novels. Strong women writers can many times be seen as a rare commodity or something that does not happen all the time. When it comes to women of color, and specifically African women, such writers and their skills are downplayed or not recognized. Even writings concerning the history of literary do their job in leaving out the importance and influence of women writers. Many times we see works which men give their perspectives and criticisms of women.
Although there are many insightful writings out there which men have written on African women, no one can tell an African women's story better than an African woman herself. Women poets especially, African women, have often been demoted and ignored. Even many African poetry compilations have done a poor job of showcasing the many different talents of our women by including only a couple poets in them, creating an imbalance and false representation.

Get ready for some horrible close ups. Thank God my skin doesn't look like this when I see it in the mirror!!
This isn't really a pretty post but I thought you might like to know what skincare I've been using recently and the kind of results I have been seeing.
|Image Skincare Regime
At the end of May I went along to the Dorchester Hotel to find out all about Image Skincare, which is a US brand whose mantra is 'Age Later'. Well obviously I like the sound of that!
I had a chat with Lisa Johnson, the International Trainer for Image Skincare and told her all about my skincare concerns. There are quite a few, but mainly include lines and wrinkles, firmness, enlarged pores and pigmentation.
Lisa then prescribed products from each of Image's skincare lines – see photo above.
Keep reading for Before and After photos.
I have been using the products as directed for about a month and I have to say, I absolutely love them. I feel that my complexion is more even, it looks clear and more glowing and my lines aren't as noticeable.

|Image Skincare Regime – Right Side of Face
Before (left) and After (right)
As you'll see I have more pigmentation on my right side (where I have generally had more UV exposure through glass when driving and working at a desk), but there is still an improvement to be seen on my left side.
|Image Skincare Regime – Right Left of Face
Before (left) and After (right)
I think the most striking thing is the improvement in pigmentation.
In this picture you can also see an improvement in the appearance of lines.
|Image Skincare Regime – Right Left of Face
Before (left) and After (right)
Obviously, everything looks better with a touch of makeup but you get the picture!!
To kick start the regime, I went to see the lovely Marie Reynolds at FOUR London for the Image Signature face lift. This was an amazing treatment that had an instant effect on my skin in terms of brightness and firmness. Marie is absolutely amazing – check out her treatment list here. Marie has a brilliant skincare blog that is a must-read for any beauty addict. I'd recommend a visit to Marie unreservedly.
In the mornings I use the Vital C Hydrating Anti Ageing Serum which smell absolutely delicious! I follow this with a light application of Ageless The Max Eye Creme and then Ageless The Max Creme which are super luxurious. I don't leave the house without applying the Daily Defense Hydrating Moisturiser SPF30.
|Image Skincare Day Routine
At night I use the MD Reconstructive Facial Cleanser, followed by the Ageless Skin Bleaching Serum (sounds harsh but smells and feels great!) , then the eye cream and moisturiser I use in the morning.
|Image Skincare Night Routine
Once a week I use the Ageless Total Resurfacing Masque which is an amazing exfoliating mask that leaves my skin glowing and bright.
|Image Skincare Ageless Total Resurfacing Masque
I am going to continue with this regime and update you in another month. I have to say I am rather excited to see my everything progresses.
What do you think to the results so far?

I have crafted from my childhood. My mother taught me to sew, and encouraged my participation in 4-H Club. My projects were always sewing! It seems I have sewed forever, and still love the sense of accomplishment, the beauty of fiber and fabric, and the challenge to make something beautiful for far less than I could buy it ready-made. I now sew for my home, for my eight precious grandchildren, and once in awhile for myself.

Task Force deplores Bush's choice as he further divides the country with a hard right idealogical nominee
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 — Today, President Bush nominated U.S. Circuit Court Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Statement from Matt Foreman, Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
"President Bush capitulated to the howling from the extreme, evangelical right and threw them red meat in the form of U.S. Circuit Court Judge Samuel Alito. The country will now be put through a wrenching, divisive and damaging confirmation process. One more travesty inflicted on this nation by the president and his right wing allies."
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Summary: This is a hike that almost anyone do, but it also is a work-out. No special equipment is needed (like ropes), but dress for all ocasions as the weather can be different from the bottom of the hike to the top. From the " " camp ground take the clearly marked trail. Follow the trail back over the road to the point where the trail rises sharply up the hill. It levels out at the Morain Lake turn-off at the tree-line. Then starts a level walk for about 1/2 mile until the climb starts again. The trail gets a little hard to follow through the rock field as your reach the false summit where you get a great view, of Broken Top and Mt. Bachlor. Then it is the final push through a steep red lava field. On the top it is a walk around the volcano rim to the highest point and a great view of the Middle and North Sisters. About 5 hours up and 3 hours down with plenty of rests or it can be done much faster.
Trailhead: From Bend Oregon take Colorado Lake Drive to past Mt. Bachlor ski resort (follow signs to Mt. Bachlor) don't turn into the ski resort but stay on the main road until you see the turn off on the left for Devil's Lake camp ground. Trail head is clearly marked. (Lat:44.03463 Lon:-121.76455)

I do a fair amount of running and cycling which helped make the ascent not too difficult. It was the descent that really took a toll on the legs. Spectacular view at the top for sure!
Reviewed by Dave on 9/24/2009
Great hike! A definite must-do for any enthusiast. Be sure to take trekking poles and gaiters. For the complete experience circumambulate the summit crater prior to descending.
Reviewed by Anne37 on 9/22/2009
Unrivaled views, probably the best I've seen in the Cascades. My time was 5 brutal hours up, 3 tedious hours down, but don't be fooled: this is a very strenuous day hike... although the flat stretch across Wickiup Plain is a nice treat. Leave at dawn, and go fast and light - I treated water chemically at Lewis Glacier so as to carry less going up. The elevation gain is considerable, but I was exhausted more from the scree slog on the way up - you might want to bring gaiters and shoes or boots with good ankle support so that you can shuffle down through the scree quickly.
Reviewed by harold on 2/18/2009
Failed to summit the first time (at age 58). Trained better and have summited 5 times since. The view is beyond spectacular, people are friendly on the trail, and its a great workout. Can't imagine a better way to spend a summer day. Advice: you'll have a better experience if you do some training such as running or extended walks especially up hills.
Reviewed by todd on 5/18/2008
my five day trip began at south sister and continued north to green lakes. day 2 golden lake. day 3 Camp lake which was a must see to believe. day 4 between the south and middle sister to mesa creek. day 5 moraine lake. This was the most beautiful extended trip so far!!
Reviewed by kyle d on 4/13/2007
Very nice hike (late review hiked in summer 06). Nothing technical, but long and somewhat steep. Just be advised, I took my girlfriend and she decided to do it without hiking boots. Let's just say her toenails are just now recovering. For those who enjoy taking dogs, feel free, consider bringing boots for them since the scree can take a toll. I have a lab and she was tuckered by days end. Wonderful views!! I agree with others, avoid mid-late summer due to the crowds of people.
Reviewed by Jeff on 8/29/2006
I make this hike every summerand it's great every time. Not for the weak legged. Take your time and enjoy the views, you can see forever. Pack plenty of water, I took 3 liters. This is a hike you can do alone on a good day as you'll have plenty of company.
Reviewed by Jeff on 5/2/2006
I did this hike last summer and will do it again in a few months. It's a very pretty view and since the crater is filled with snow it's neat to have a snowball fight in the middle of summer!

"Adjusted," exhibition catalogue, Museum Ludwig, Cologne is available at the gallery.
Born in 1947 in Bronxville, New York; lives in New York City
Attended Cornell University (BFA 1969)
Published in conjunction with her exhibition currently on view at Museum Ludwig in Cologne, this volume presents an overview of Lawler's eclectic body of work, including recent works, which offer insightful and witty revelations about the way art is "consumed" in our current culture, and the way it is modified, or "adjusted," by the manner in which it is displayed. Texts by curator Philipp Kaiser, Benjamin Buchloh, Hal Foster and Sven Lütticken.
MIT Press
This book includes the earliest published text on Lawler's work; an examination of her ephemera; a rare interview with the artist conducted by Douglas Crimp; a conversation between George Baker and Andrea Fraser on Lawler's work; and essays by writers Rosalind Krauss, Rosalyn Deutsche and Helen Molesworth, who edited the volume along with Taylor Walsh. October Files is available at the gallery.
This new hardcover book brings together Louise Lawler's images of Gerhard Richter's paintings as they exist and are handled in the context of museums, galleries, auction houses, and collections. With a text by Tim Griffin, the book is available at the gallery.
Edited by Marc Blondeau and Philippe Davet
In 1984, Louise Lawler was granted access to the homes of visionary collectors Burton and Emily Tremaine, and she has since tracked the works she photographed there as they have wended their way through museums and auction houses. With texts by Stephen Melville and Andrea Miller-Keller, this publication gathers almost all the Tremaine Pictures produced between 1984 and 2007.
The MIT Press
Editor Helen Molesworth
"Twice Untitled and Other Pictures," published in conjunction with Lawler's first major museum exhibition in the United States, organized by the Wexner Center for the Arts, eats away at the standard museum practices of chronology, linear development, and the presentation of masterpieces, opting instead to explore such dynamic themes and undercurrents in Lawler's practice as her relationship to sculpture, her long history of collaborative projects, her production of such ephemera as napkins, matchbooks, and announcement cards, and the steady political dimension of her work. With essays by art historian and political theorist Rosalyn Deutsche and curators Ann Goldstein and Helen Molesworth, "Twice Untitled and Other Pictures" promises to be an essential volume for anyone interested in late 20th and early 21st-century art.
From an exhibition of Degas' materpieces to an Andy Warhol installation, this book invites you to discover Louise Lawler's unique vision of modern and contemporary art. Lawler is fascinated by what "happens" to the art object after it leaves the artist's studio - where it goes, how it's displayed, how it's valued, what it means. In a Lawler photograph taken in a private home, the furnishings and objects surrounding the art are given as much attention as the art; in a museum, the view out of a window next to the artwork; in an auction house, the label identifying the artwork. Her striking and provocative photographs show us how the environment that surrounds it affects our perception of art and how it in turn affects all aspects of that environment.

History and overview
Gompa (Tibetan: དགོན་པ།, ZYPY: Gönba) and ling are Buddhist ecclesiastical fortifications of learning, lineage and sadhana (that may be understood as a conflation of a fortification, a monastery or nunnery, and a university (Sanskrit: vihara)), located in Tibet, India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Their design and interior details vary from region to region, however, all follow a general sacred geometrical mandala design of a central prayer hall containing a Buddha murti or thangka, benches for the monks or nuns to engage in prayer or meditation and attached living accommodation. The gompa or ling may also be accompanied by any number of stupas. The siting and aspect of the architectural constructions, satellite buildings and grounds were founded on ancient principles of geodesic lore and environmental metaphysics.[citation needed]
A gompa can also be just a meditation room or hall, without the attached living quarters. Meditation rooms in urban Buddhist centres are often referred to as gompas. They are a tradition in Ladakh.

In case you needed one more reason to be stoked that it's Friday, Hellyeah just released 2 new songs!
Check 'em out!
I enjoyed "Band of Brothers". Nice to see that Hellyeah is sticking with that metal vibe and staying away from that Southern Rock vibe they had on their earlier albums. I grew up in the Ohio River Valley. I've heard enough Southern Rock, thanks.
*In addition to being all "Hell yeah!" about the new Hellyeah, "Scary" Terry Stevens is a radio host for Midwest Communications. You can Book Face with him here .

Midterm Workshops of the STRP, 20-24 July 2004 -- the inevitable pix
Nick Davidson says, "From 20-24 July 2004, members and observers of the Convention's Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), joined by invited technical experts including authors of chapters of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, the CBD Secretariat and the Chair of the Standing Committee, met in a series of intensive and very successful workshops in Wageningen, the Netherlands. The workshops were hosted by Wetlands International as part of their provision of the STRP Support Service." Here is his brief report.
The workshops reviewed progress against the large number of tasks in the Panel's 2003-2005 Work Plan, and made significant progress in refining and further developing technical review papers and a suite of guidelines and advice for Contracting Parties, for consideration by COP9 in 2005. Panel leads for each task are now drafting materials for consultation with STRP National Focal Points and consideration by the 12th meeting of the STRP in February 2005.

Georgia Tech returner Jamal Golden came through with another big special-teams play, this one a 56-yard punt return at the start of the third quarter. Golden took the punt on one hop at the Tech 43 and burst through a seam and down the right sideline, getting stopped just shy of the goal line.
Quarterback Tevin Washington scored two plays later to give Tech a 14-7 lead over USC that held up the rest of the day.
"He under-kicked his coverage," Golden said. "I was thinking, catch it on one hop and try to make it to the end zone."
It was nearly his third return for a score this season. Golden broke Tech's 14-year drought on kickoff returns by taking back two long runs for scores this season.
Golden also played more snaps on defense than usual. With safety Isaiah Johnson out for the game with a leg injury, Chris Milton started in his place, but Milton was forced out with an undisclosed injury. Golden, who typically plays cornerback, worked at safety.
"I was not going to be the guy to let my team down," Golden said.
Just short: With six carries in the Sun Bowl, Tech A-back Orwin Smith would have become the school's all-time leading in yards-per-carry average for all players with 200 carries. He got just four carries. He finishes with a 9.3 yards-per-carry average on 198 attempts.
"I feel like A.P.," he said with a laugh, a reference to Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who came up nine yards short of the NFL single-season rushing record Sunday.
Regardless, Smith played a crucial role in the game with his 17-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter that put Tech up 21-7. Smith left the game in the first half after dislocating his shoulder.
After missing the Georgia and ACC Championship game with an ankle injury, he wondered if his Tech career would end with his missing almost all of his last three games. However, team doctor John Xerogeanes worked his shoulder back into place and he played the second half.
"I just kind of prayed on it and just took the chance and went back out there," he said.
Monkey off back: Coach Paul Johnson earned his first bowl win at Tech after losing his first four. He has received plenty of criticism from fans and media for Tech's inability to win in the postseason, but he downplayed the personal significance of the win.
"I'm happy for these guys," he said, referring to the players. "I don't worry about that stuff. I think I'm happy for our players and the Georgia Tech fans and everybody involved."
Remarkable run: Going back to the second half of the ACC championship game against Florida State, Tech allowed seven points in its final six quarters of the season. It's no small achievement given that FSU is ranked No. 12 in the country in scoring offense and USC is No. 34.
Furthermore, Tech played Monday without Johnson, the team's leading tackler, and also much of the game without outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu, the team's best pass rusher. He was forced from the game with an arm injury.
Not bad work for a defense that had given up 40 points in three consecutive games earlier in the season and six times in all. The longest play Tech allowed was a 25-yard run by Silas Redd.
"We didn't cause them any issues, but at the end of the day, they didn't miss any tackles," USC coach Lane Kiffin said. "They tackled really well."
Golden credited interim defensive coordinator Charles Kelly, who took over for Al Groh after the sixth game of the season.
"He's the reason we played like we did in the second half of the Florida State game and the bowl game," Golden said.
Etc.: Cornerback Rod Sweeting was named MVP. Center Jay Finch was named the lineman of the game. Golden was named special-teams player of the game. … Attendance for the game was 47,922. Capacity is 50,426. … Tech wore gold helmets, blue jerseys and white pants, the first time it wore that combination. … The officiating crew, which had to reverse itself early in the game with it incorrectly ruled a USC field goal as good, was supplied by the Big Ten.

Well done jackets. It was clear from the body language and off-field behavior who really wanted the win.
Also, I have never seen as clueless a coach as Kiffen among all GT's opponent coaches since CPJ arrived in '08. In his wraparound shades (what for? It was mostly cloudy.), big black parka, and laminated playsheet from which he was calling the same ineffective plays again and again, I don't he cut a very credible figure as a coach to his 4 and 5 star talent. Wittek started the game ok, but horrible playcalling and the blustery conditions sapped his confidence and ability, and the second half he was simply going through the motions.
But credit goes to our defense, especially in the absence of top playmakers Attaochu and I. Johnson. Cross and Dieke tipped a lot of passes, Watts stepped up as the role of the primary attacking linebacker, Nealy got some crucial breaks, and Sweeting led the secondary. However, I think USC missed a trick by not going deep more (wasted two awesome receivers) and not calling the hurry-up, with which we've had problems all season. Though that's hard to accomplish with an inexperienced QB.
Our offense was not spectacular; just good enough to win the game. I think the Vad-Tevin mentoring process throughout the season worked out really well in this game. Tevin was genuinely happy on the sidelines when Vad got things going in the first half. I think this rotation policy in the last 6-7 games will pay off handsomely in the spring.
Special teams were decent, but stupid penalties towards the end were disappointing. I can understand though that the players were very nervous going into the 4th quarter (they were in a similar position last year when they failed to hold off a late comeback charge by Utah). Also they were quite giddy/excited – we hadn't won a bowl game in 8 years, after all.
Charles Kelly is a decent and hardworking coach: you could tell from the tears in his eyes at the end of the game how much this job means to him. I'm sure with solid recruiting he can turn out to be a great defensive coach.
December 31st, 2012
10:45 pm
Without the shoulder injury, it's almost certain that Orwin would have gotten enough carries to earn his place in the ACC record book. Nevertheless, he's had a great career and I wish him the greatest success in the future … wherever and whatever that future may hold. I appreciate the athletic and academic success of Orwin, Tevin, Izaan, and the rest of this year's senior class. I hope our younger players will follow their example, practice hard, study hard, and give their best efforts both on the field and in the classroom.

I loved this win even more with al lof the experts picking USC. Just shows that playing hard and smart will win over talent alone. With around 16 starters returning and a more favorable schedule, I think 2013 could be a very nice season.

Any bowl win is great…this one is special as it breaks the bowl drought and it was against a big-name opponent in USC.
With Clemson beating LSU in the Chicken sandwich bowl, its turning into a decent year for the ACC.

My hat is off to the coaching staff. Especially the defensive group. They took an absolute disaster and gave the guys the confidence to be better that they were. This team has gotten better each and every game the last half of the season. What a positive note to end on this year. This effort is what makes champions. I believe they will look back on this victory as a start of a new era for GT. One where they do what it takes to win and start believing in their ability. GREAT EFFORT.

Proud of our Jackets!!! Our guys played hard and played to win. We obviously wanted to win more than they did and our team gave it their all. Thanks GT football team for a great game and well deserved win! Go Jackets!

Orwin may not have reached the record books, but he'll be fondly remembered. From his first game to his last, he always played hard and performed well. As a GT fan, I'll never forget him. The other seniors I am thinking of off the top of my head are Uzzi, Cross and Barnes. I think these are the 3 most likely to make it in the NFL from this year's class. Best of luck to them. I do hope Orwin finds a spot somewhere as well. Can't forget Tevin leaving. He wasn't a physical warrior like Nesbitt, but he wasn't as bad as some fans portrayed him to be. He had his flaws, but he had strengths as well. He won't be remembered as fondly as other GT qbs who reached higher plateaus, but he played with dignity and he won't be forgotten. Looking at other seniors, Chris Jackson is done, and while he never reached the lofty expectations based on his initial recruiting rankings, I applaud him for finishing the job at GT and never quitting. Sweeting is done too. He'll be missed. I think he's had his share of ups and downs, but he's been a strong point in the defense throughout his career. The same can be said for McRae on the O-line. He's never been considered in the same breath as Uzzi, but he's played in just as many games, and has helped keep the line together throughout his tenure. Then there is Munroe, Morgan and Tanner. All have played and all have done what has been asked. And finally there is Paige who never saw significant time on O, but I do remember hearing his name on special teams.
Looking ahead, I see maybe 4 players who should even consider looking into entering the NFL early, but I think at least 3 of them are stretches at this point. So even assuming 4 of the current Jr's are lost, that still leaves 19 SR's next year. The recruiting class is small this year, but next year, with the potential for 23 SR's or even just 19, means that the recruiting class will be larger. It looks like CPJ's redshirting plan will be in full effect next year. This is yet another reason why I think college coaches at non-powerhouses(meaning the top 5-10 schools) need at least 6-7-8 years before they can be accurately judged(I'm very happy to have CPJ, but I was willing to give Chan another year, even though I didn't have much faith in him). CPJ will have his deepest team next year of his tenure. The 2008 and 2009 teams had stars from the last two Gailey classes, but they weren't as deep as next year's team will be. The question for CPJ going forward will be whether he has stars on both sides of the ball going forward. I think there are already some stars on the team who should(or in some cases will) be returning next year. The issue for me is that CPJ finally has the depth he's wanted starting next year(his 6th). In my opinion, this means that he should get something like 3 more years to see what he can do with depth, not only on the playing field, but also with the ability to recruit 25 players/yr. with the knowledge that the next season will also allow the recruiting of 25 players. Only now are we seeing his 2009/2010 classes mature(which were larger than 2011, 2012). But he's finally been able to catch up to his redshirting plans and get the classes evened out in numbers starting next year. This is a different trcik from recruiting to GSU where they are able to get the high profile D-1AA recruits every year and reload without evening out the numbers and different from Navy where no players leave early. I'm looking at keeping CPJ into year 8 before I start to call for his head(unless something goes terribly wrong the next two years).

Congrats to Uzzi, TW, Smith, Sweeting, Barnes and Cross for going out with a big win. They all made big plays at key moments in the game.
Kudos to the wind and the UCLA dude that crushed Barkley's shoulder. We'll take a bowl win any way we can get it at this point.
Holy cow what an incompetent offficiating crew. Maybe we shouldn't join the B10 after all.
Golden is a playmaker, simple as that. Sure hope Milton is ready for spring ball.
Think we will get a rematch at home with the Hokies on Labor Day?
January 1st, 2013
8:16 am
@BW, good points. I'm still boy sure Tech has the 3 or 4 stars needed for a 10-win season. Vad Lee is a star in the making. Bostic has shown a burst. On D, Attouchu is probably a star. Golden is very solid. Other than that I think we have a lot of solid role players. I'm not sure that's enough. I don't see any Anthony Allen, Jonathan Dwyer, Demaryus Thomas, Morgan Burnett, Michael Johnson, or Derrick Morgan type players on the roster. That's my only knock against Charles Kelley. I'm not sure he can bring in the right talent for major success. In my perfect world Kelley stays on as assistant head coach and we hire Giff Smith as our DC and recruiting coordinator. Under Smith, we put a DL in the NFL every year and landed some major talent at the end of his tenure. He is VERY connected in georgia high schools.
This team played outstanding against USC. But they don't have the talent to win a game where they come out flat, UF had a MTSU game against BGSU and South Carolina had one against Wofford. The difference is we lost because we didn't have the talent to compensate for a lack of effort. The team showed yesterday they can be competitive with nfl laden teams when they're dialed in.

Now its time to get some GOOD defensive line recruits, a good pass rush is all our team needs, we can eat up clock and yds and score with vad under center for the next 3 years. Fish-fry, gewt us some good down lineman and we are back in the top 25 easy….

We do need some better recruiting, hope CPJ will make that happen in staff changes
Geez how could a ref call a FG on a kick that was wide to the left? Big 10 refs? It would have been better to pick then out of the School for the Blind conference and let the seeing eye dogs make the calls
January 1st, 2013
9:28 am
I'm glad for the tears in the coaches eyes after the game, I had tears as well but some of the coaching this season has been horrendous and losing to MTSU, BYU and overtime to MIami to name a few was too much…………………………………………….
January 1st, 2013
10:05 am
If USC did not act like they wanted to be there, the Big 10 refs looked as if they were lost in the first 5 minutes of the game. How do you need to go to the video to see that the USC attempt at a FG was wide left? All you do is look up at the ball and the goal post, I mean, even a UGA grad knows how to do this! Refs almost took over in 2nd half with all the Tech Penalties at the end. I mean some real touch fouls, the NCAA refs this bowl season have really been stinkers. Nice Tech Win, something to build on for 2013, but Vad Lee has to protect the football more, needs some maturing for sure!
January 1st, 2013
10:38 am
And I thought I was longwinded.
We have gone through too many coaches.
Bud Carson came within a play of beating Uga three in a row.
He went on to be the D coor of the 4 time champion Steelers.
We needed to spend extra money to get a top O coordinator.
But the fans angered by his first three years were determined to sack him.
I can't see how we have hired anyone else better.
Ross u say.
Look at all 5 years of Ross without the excusemaking.
And then Ross had questionable ethics in getting Swilling to play another year to his disadvantage and split himself when the big money came his way.
But if he was so great, why didn't Homer raise his pay enough to keep him?
We can't afford to match a pro team?
Actually we can't afford not to.
Think how much easier the recruiting would have been if we kept Ross.
I'm hoping the turnaround continues next year and if u do actually look at our history for once, u will see the turnaround for Ross started in 1989.
Though he still lost to Duke for the third straight time.

Al Groh managed to wreck two programs: Virginia's and ours.
After all the millions he had made coaching football, he would not give his Alma Mater a break and insisted on every last dime on his contract.
Red flag, right there.
Going around the ACC hoping to be hired when someone's D coordinator gets fired.
What a guy!
Red flag number 2.
Wonder if he shook Wommack hand when he visited our practices while hoping he was canned.
He should not have been allowed to do so.
With a better D coordinator, I wonder how different and likely better the last 3 years would have been.

The whole defense and David Sims should have been the players of the game! That was the best Defensive back performance for the entire year! Of course Lane Kiffin and their qb had something to do with it.
It's great to be a fuzzy bee! Oh He!! yes!

After the loss to LSU in the Chick-fil-A bowl a couple of years ago, CPJ said: "it doesn't matter what type of scheme you run when you are getting man-handled up front." GT simple man-handled USC. GT put up just as many point and allowed as few just as Notre Dame did against USC earlier this year. What happened to all those first and second round draft picks USC supposedly have on defense? Sorry Coach Lame, both teams played in the same weather conditions. IJS

I hope vad lives up to the hype next year (or Justin Thomas). There should really be no excuse not to. The defense has turned the corner. Special teams are doing much better. And the players come back with momentum. We will see cme September!!

Orwin would have had the record if he didn't get hurt.
Regardless, he will be remembered for all the great runs he made the past 4 years!
