After 2 long months of working hard and busting our butts, the finale of Away We Happened is finally here! This is definitely one of my favorite episodes in the whole series and, more than the others, I think the episode takes you on its own journey. A lot of you had been asking for longer episodes so this one is about twice as long as the previous ones too. :)
If you need to catch up on past episodes, here they are:
Ep 1: http://youtu.be/M-18osIewxg
Ep 2: http://youtu.be/9Ka0aGyFGOk
Ep 3: http://youtu.be/jh4hjR-s7hY
Ep 4: http://youtu.be/tkPd-alWwmA
Ep 5: http://youtu.be/uNkx6OKoUME
We really wanted to make the finale good for you all so I hope you enjoy it!
You can check out the finale video below:
Inevitably, after the misunderstandings of the last episode, Daniel and Jean are both a bit conflicted on what to do next.
Jean and Daniel both receive good advice from their besties about their actions and how it reflects their relationship choices. Definitely some solid words from both sides, despite the severe pain Ben looks like he's in! Trust me, it looked even more convincing in person.
Once again, Jean and Lynn run into Jeremy. How is he everywhere?!
Here's a pretty hilarious bit of movie magic that shows what we have to do behind the scenes to make things look good. These, my friends, are apple boxes. You all know how petite I am and Chris happens to be quite long and lean. For most shots my heels worked out fine, but in close-ups the angle would be too steep to look right. I have my own temporary platform to walk past in a rush! Haha.
Obviously there is a resolution at the end with Jean & Daniel but in case you didn't watch the episode yet, I won't give away any spoilers! You'll just have to watch and see what happens. ;)
It is a bittersweet end since all of us put so much work and effort into each episode. Now that it's over it seems unreal to have to say goodbye to the amazing people I've met throughout this process!
Thank you SO much to Wong Fu Productions, Wes, Phil, and Ted, Intertrend, and AT&T for building such an incredible story and collaboration. Each week, it was a joy to receive the script and see what would happen to our characters next. I was constantly in awe of everyone's hard work and dedication since we could see what goes on behind-the-scenes first hand. I only have the deepest respect for you.
Also to my co-stars Amy, Ki Hong, and Chris, your acting talent and hilarious personalities kept everyone on set motivated and inspired. I feel like these last few weeks have been like acting bootcamp for Victor and me, so I am honored to work alongside such proficient actors whose skill is really palpable. I hope to continue improving and someday feel as comfortable acting in front of a camera as you guys!
And of course, Victor, thanks so much for being the hyper-talented guy that you are and also truly a good person on the inside and a dear friend. The series would not have been the same with another male lead. Your friendship is something I will continue to cherish! Oh yeah and that battleship? That's mine. ;)
To my husband Ben, thank you for being so patient and chill no matter what ups and downs each week brought us! You are the rock that gives me strength and I could never ask for a more loyal and supportive partner to have here with me as my life takes us in places we could never expect! Happy 4 years anniversary honey! I love you!!
Last but not least, thank you to all of my readers and viewers who have encouraged me over the last 4 years. I don't know what I did to deserve your love and faithfulness but I remind myself everyday that I would not be fulfilling my dreams if it weren't for you all and, God willing, I can continue to create content with substance that touches your hearts as you've touched mine. Here come the tears. Ahhh....
Please let me know in the comments if you enjoyed the series and, now that I'll be back into "From Head To Toe" mode, let me also know what videos and blog posts you'd like to see! Product reviews? Tutorials? Vlogs? Fashion? I'm looking forward to what happens next!

Who says cats are lazy?
A cat owner captures footage of one of her pet's favorite activities, running on a treadmill.
It may have started off as a challenge, but this feline didn't just give up and lounge around.
Instead, he/she gets back on the treadmill and finishes the workout at high speeds.

Yup, the Clippers need a steal. we need that next pillar besides CP and BG.
Get a real Center like Drummond and try to sign sign Delfino, Mayo, Kirlinko, etc. there are great options out there.
Fill up our starter spots with way above average players.
You loved Bledsoe and stated in the past (a few months ago) when I asked you specifically if you thought EB could play sg and you answer was an
emphatic YES. Now you've just realized he's only 6'-1" and could get 10 mil and he can't guard the guys you just mentioned...hmmm.
The only one out of that bunch, that is actually a SG's and play the majority of minutes there and is a really tough coverage is Kobe. I think The Beard and Wade would be in that Kobe group obviously and their a rough coverage for any sg, tall or short.
The rest of the average to above average group of SG's I don't see a problem for him to be able to defend well especially with his length.
I'll take the overall shorter better player for 10 mil, then the taller average DeRozan for 9.5.
Their not trading Drummond.
My understanding is the deal is for both Toronto players not one. I really think that Andrea and Derozan would be awesome. I Think Derozan is a stud and we can put Andrea at the 3
He can hit 3pts and would be a Mismatch for other teams. Also
Derozan is very close to being a All-Star. I would hate to give up bled. But this deal to me is the best one I have seen!
the thread title should be changed butler for bargnani. bledsoe is not involved.
Bargnani has never played the sf position and he'd really get killed on defense there, when he's already bad enough. He'd play at the 4 where he wasn't that "bad"' but not for the money you'd have to fork out for that over paid one trick pony.
There are much better less "costly" deals out there.
I'd love these guys if we were a 25 win team, not a playoff team. Bargnani is injury prone and his only good asset is that he's tall and can shoot the 3.
DeRozan is one of thee most inconsistent players I have ever seen in my life. I know this because I've had him on my fantasy team for the last couple of years. He'll get you 22, 31, 20 points then 4, 6, 3, 9, 8, 7, 11, 8, 14, 6 etc all in a row. He isn't a very good shooter either, and his best asset is that he gets to the line. His defense is highly suspect as well.
If the Clippers do trade for DeRozan, I liked what ESPN said about sending Butler for Bargnani. THAT I can live with.
Also, is it just me or is anyone curious as to what the Pistons may or may not be offering for Eric Bledsoe? If the name Drummond pops up I'd ship out DJ in a heartbeat. Drummond will be the #1 center in this league within 3 years from this date.
I have to admit not being very familiar with Bargnani's work. Dang he's got touch from everywhere. His best years have seen him go to the line at least 5 times a game. Can block shots.
The only issue is rebounding and overall defense. But he's played for one team the whole time. I'm starting to wonder just what this guy could do under Doc.
Rather get good all round player and see what he can achieve under Doc, then hoping for an over paid average offensive player to be better, who isn't very good at anything else.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... nan01.html
My guess is it would be someone like Stunkey and yes I said Stunkey not Stuckey. OR, maybe Greg Monroe. Pistons don't have anyone we really need honestly, I mean we could use some of their bench players but they make a good amount of cash, and the Pistons aren't going to give us a draft pick within the next couple of seasons worth a damn either. They will likely put as much protection on any 1st rounder they'd send.
Stunkey is clearly bad, and is not a 2 guard, who is probably the guy they'd try to send. Only other guy I can think of they might want to ditch would be Brandon Knight, who also is neither a PG nor a SG. And we don't need him either. Jerebko would be a solid addition as would Will bynum but clearly for 10-18 MPG guys. I wouldn't trade Bledsoe and probably Butler for bench players and a draft pick we wouldn't see for like 10 years. Leaving only Monroe and Drummond we could ask for, or want.
Yea I mean you just have to think of yourself, my team has Drummond this athletic high school aged guy who did a great job as a rookie big man, what is the lost of players I would trade him for? Basically all th players that other teams wouldn't trade,certnly not a Bledsoe, and I like Bledsoe a lot, but not even close.
And that player is......?
Raptors played him at SF when Jermaine O'neal first came, it was Bargnani/Bosh/JO.
It wasn't pretty, JO was later traded for Marion too, lol
If from the Raptors, Amir Johnson, but I don't think they do it.
If in general, well there are many options for that, but depends if you mean in a trade for Bledsoe, or as a big man.
Give me a little time and come up with one or two or...
Off the top of my head here's a guy with Detroit that we should look.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... bjo01.html
Preferably someone that can be traded straight up for Butler and to a team that would take Butler. Just to make it fair
Ariza, Afflalo.
Pistons aren't interested in Butler, they wanted bledsoe. Same with Orlando.
Ariza would make sense if they didn't just draft Otto Porter.
Hey, has the format changed for anyone? Man, that actually hurts my eyes. lol
Yeah it changed, it's awful IMO
Lol, nevermind it's back to normal.
Who really knows for sure what both teams want until you start negotiations. Butler's expiring is easily worth those two? I do know they want to rid themselves of those players.
Bled to Detroit for the player I mentioned above plus a 1st rounder.
I'd do the Detroit trade but if it was Singler instead. He's deadly from 3.
Ok, but I'd still rather have the other guy who can do more, than just shoot 3's. the other guy is below average at the 3pt line, but above average at FG% and rebounding. Plus he's a good defender.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/pla ... lky01.html
Think you need to re-check that Agent. Bargnani wasn't a starter until Bosh got hurt for 15 games. Don't think he's played the sf spot except for maybe a minute or two, lol. He started out a PF.
Anyway we no he can't play the 3 very well.
@BaxterHolmes: RT @HowardBeckNYT NYK appear close to acquiring Andrea Bargnani from Toronto, per source. NY offering Camby, Novak, 2 picks (1st rd/2nd rd).
Well, No Barg for us. You can exhale now Tense. He fits really good with NYK. Space the floor for Melo and Tyson.
Yea...first NY drafts Hardaway and now this. Perfect. NY, NY what are you doing, lol.
Our NY Knick fan CP3Heliflopter is going to crazy.
This just got more interesting.
Bledsoe, Butler for DeRozen, Novak and 1st round pick.
Is there a link or is this your idea of a trade?
That's just my idea since TOR just got Novie
Would rather do the Magic deal instead.Affalo fits us a lot better than DeRozen and his contract is cheaper.Novak can lit it up from 3 but can't do anything else.Nicholson is a young PF with some potential who we can trade later on.And I think the Magic's 1st rounder will be higher than the first rounder we would get from the Raptors.Money wise and talent wise the Magic trade is a lot better than the Raptors trade in my opinion.
Lol, did the Knicks have to throw in 2 picks to get this deal done? Shouldn't they have been the ones getting picks in this deal.
Per Howard Beck of the NY Times "Knicks and Raptors have agreed to deal to send Bargnani to New York. Awaiting league approval."
Good riddance to him and i'm shocked that the knickerbockers would take on Barg's salary and gave away picks to boot!
Now they got two expensive and injury prone PF's to take up room on the bench.If we still consider doing the trade for DeRozan I would want Camby in it but I don't think he can stay healthy.He is making 4 Mill which is a lot but his money isn't guaranteed the following year.If only he could stay healthy I would love to bring him back.He was like a big brother to the locker room and I think could help DJ out a lot.But it is extremely risky because if he can't stay healthy that means we are paying 4 Mill for a bench warmer.Then it's Ryan Gomes all over again.
i don't get it if we swapped caron butler for bargnani, would he come off the bench? unless they would trade deandre jordan elsewhere and make bargnani our starting center.
bargnani was traded to knicks.
Masai Ujiri owning the knicks so hard.
I don't believe you can trade players you have just received in a trade as a package with other players. Toronto could trade us Novak for something, but not Novak and someone else.
The Raptors should have been the ones to throw in picks.
Pretty shabby deal for the Knicks. They aren't just throwing money at their problems, they are throwing money and picks..
They are taking a page directly out of the Lakers book.
Maybe Isaiah Thomas snuck back into the GM's office.
I've always liked Jerebko, but saw no reason for Detroit to trade him, but he's a player I would want from Detroit, he would be a nice backup forward for this team
Thanks New York for doing this. It's actually not that bad for them, they can't make many moves at their tax level anyways. So they have to take these kind of risks. Bargnani last about the same time as Camby and Novak, actually I think Novak has an extra year. It sets them up to be free of most of their contracts in 2016.
Also the draft pick was one they sorta already owed to Denver
yup. So this trade scenario is over.
Now that Barg. Is out of the picture I wonder what the raptors can offer?
Also out of all the trade rumors 76ers are in the mix and I like a player in Thaddeus young !?
Yes, I think so too.
Knicks to get Bargnani and remain a horrible franchise that will eventually surpass the Cubs streak of years without a Championship at some point in the history of the Earth. GJ Knicks! I wonder who will lead the Knicks in assists and how many assists per game? Melo don't pass, Amare don't pass, Tyson don't pass, JR don't pass, Bargs don't pass, Felton is a turnover machine.
Maybe Pablo Pridgioni leads the league in assists because he can't do anything but pass the ball with his over the hill butt.

Toyota Motor Corp. and Audi AG are demonstrating active safety technologies that could one day serve as building blocks for the emergence of driverless vehicles.
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week, the two automakers are showing off vehicles arrayed with sensors and automated control systems that make it possible for cars to observe their own surroundings. Audi is even showcasing a "piloted driving system" that helps drivers steer a car in congested traffic speeds up to 37mp/h (60km/h). The technology also enables vehicles to accelerate, brake, and park by themselves.
"Our goal is a system that constantly perceives, processes, and responds to its surroundings, that scans the movement of objects around it, identifies a green light from a red light, and measures the trajectory, roll, pitch, and yaw of the vehicle as it steers, accelerates, and brakes along the most efficient route to its programmed destination," said Mark Templin, Lexus Group vice president and general manager, in a prepared statement at a CES press conference on Monday.
Although most automakers are still hesitant to talk about it, the goal also involves the eventual development of driverless vehicles. This week, Audi said that the state of Nevada issued the company a license to allow testing of autonomous vehicles on its public roads. Audi, along with Google Inc., are the only two companies to receive such a license. Audi's licensing follows on the heels of a September announcement by the State of California that it, too, is allowing the testing of self-driving cars on its roads.
At CES, Toyota is demonstrating a multitude of technologies that could one day form the foundation for such autonomous driving. The giant automaker is showing off a Lexus vehicle equipped with 360-degree LIDAR (light detection and ranging) laser, which can detect objects as far away as 70 meters, on its roof. It also employs three high-definition color cameras that can detect objects 150 meters away, radars on its front bumper and sides, a distance measurement indicator, inertial measurement units on the roof, and GPS antennae.

Dear Actionline: What should we do? � Ron LeBlanc, City Manager (Sent from my Motorola ATRIX� 4G on AT&T)
This is curiously reminiscent of a Batman episode � when Commissioner Gordon calls the Caped Crusader on the special red Bat-Phone.
But that�s where the similarities to Batman end.
As much as Action Line prides himself on being inclusive and open-minded, there are no plans for a boy-wonder sidekick dressed in tights.
A secret cave and a rocket-propelled car, however, would be cool. So would having a butler named Alfred. But that�s beside the point.
The issue vexing our fair city is �The Case of the Phone Call ADU Switcheroo.�
First, some background. For 2� years, the city has been trying to revise, update and rewrite the Land Use and Development Code. The rules now in effect are from 1989 and have been amended 160 times.
The new code is promised to be �reflective of community plans and values.�
One of the proposed changes is to legalize ADUs, or accessory dwelling units. It�s basically a new rule allowing landowners in certain neighborhoods to turn their garage into an apartment or build an addition to rent out.
That has longtime resident Bruce Garlick upset. We�re talking ballistic upset.
Bruce lives on West Second Avenue, one of the neighborhoods where ADUs would be allowed.
He doesn�t like ADUs because he already has one nearby, complete with loud parties, three barking dogs, parking problems, trash and other quality-of-life issues.
�I purchased my house more than 30 years ago specifically for the neighborhood. The new code could double the density around me,� Bruce said.
�I didn�t buy my house to be in a crowded neighborhood.�
What galls Bruce is that few residents are outraged that the city is plowing ahead with something that would �create 500 new building lots� in the city.
So he decided to do something sneaky. He called The Durango Herald classified ad department and placed this hoax online ad one Thursday:
�ABSOLUTELY FREE BUILDING LOTS IN DURANGO � absolutely free building lots in Durango Colorado for up to 500 lucky people. Call 970-375-4850 to see if you could be a winner.�
The phone number was the direct line for the city�s Planning and Community Development offices.
By Monday, the office received 25 calls, planning director Greg Hoch wrote in an email to Ron LeBlanc and the city attorney seeking guidance.
Ron did what any good city manager would do: He whipped out his cellphone and sent Action Line a text message.
So Action Line called Bruce Garlick. In a pleasant and thoughtful conversation, he said his scheme was to �get people involved and draw attention to something that�s a big deal, but no one seems to care about.�
It got the city�s attention all right. And now it has yours.
Should the city accommodate landowners who want an income stream and provide more apartments that presumably would be affordable? Or are ADUs a misguided step toward garage-dwelling sharecroppers? Some think so, including online commenter Carl Rand who defined ADUs as �Sweetie-villes of poorly made student misery cells above camping gear and kayaks.�
Some people think ADUs are A-OK. Others react to ADUs with OMG or WTF.
Whatever three initials reflect your opinion, we all need to be informed and involved. The code is scheduled for adoption April 23. It�s not too late for your voice to be heard, pro or con.
Info on the proposed code is at www.durangocodeupdate.com along with dates for near-future meetings.
And regarding free stuff in the classified, know that it�s pretty much limited to kittens, puppies, roosters and an occasional �free, you haul� waterbed.
Maybe that used waterbed could be a lovely accessory for your ADU.
Email questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you knew the proposed land-use and development code requires �sexually oriented theater/dancing establishments� to have one parking space per 50 square feet of floor area.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND — Jason Day and Marc Leishman kept the Australian flag flying high at the RBC Heritage.
Four days after countryman Adam Scott became the first Australian to win the Masters, Day and Leishman shot 4-under 67 and trailed leader Brian Davis by two shots Thursday after the first round at Harbour Town Golf Links.
Davis lost a playoff to Jim Furyk in 2010 at Harbour Town after calling a penalty on himself. This time, the Englishman birdied eight of his final 14 holes for a 65 to pull past Day and Leishman, who were back in contention after falling short Sunday at Augusta National.
Kevin Streelman and Charley Hoffman were a stroke behind Davis at 66, while Johnson Wagner also shot 67. U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson led a large group at 68.
Day and Leishman can't make history for their country at the RBC Heritage – only enhance it. Several Aussies have won at Harbour Town, including Graham Marsh in 1977 and Greg Norman 11 years later. Aaron Baddeley was the last Australian to take the champion's tartan jacket in 2006.
"For a population that I think is around 23 million people in Australia, and the last time I checked the land size is a little bit bigger than North America," Day says. "We do pretty well in sports."
Davis was toe-to-toe with Furyk three year ago until he brushed a loose reed with his club in the marsh area left of the 18th green. Davis immediately called the infraction, which essentially gave Furyk the crown.
Davis, never better than second on the PGA Tour, still gets stopped at country clubs and airports by admirers of his honest act on the course in a situation where victory would've made Davis' career much smoother.
"I'd like to do something else in this tournament so I don't get remembered just for that," he said, chuckling.
If Davis keeps playing like he did in the first round, he might reach that goal come Sunday. He was 1 over on his first four holes when he put his approach on the par-5 fifth about 6 feet away for an eagle try. Davis missed and left disappointed with a birdie, but that began a run of eight birdies on his final 14 holes. He rolled in a 22-foot birdie putt on the tricky 17th hole to reach 6 under and score in the 60s for the 10th time in his last 13 rounds at Harbour Town.
"I wasn't worried about my score or about my misses, I was just playing," Davis said.
Masters champion Scott is taking the week off, as are the world's top two players in Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Day and Leishman excelled despite the fatigue that builds up playing a major – "I felt like I was there for a month," Day said of Augusta – and both found their stride in a group of three that included Simpson, who'll defend his major championship in two months at Merion.
None of the three made bogey on the round. Simpson headed up a group three shots behind that included defending RBC Heritage champ Carl Pettersson and Bill Haas. Luke Donald, sixth in the world, was another stroke back at 69.
Leishman didn't play much since last Sunday. He took an ocean swim Wednesday and felt refreshed and primed for another run to the top before some time away from the course. "I'm planning on being in contention all week and then really enjoying my two weeks off," he said.
Not all the Masters contenders who chose to play – there were 14 of the world's top 29 golfers in the field – came back with a strong round. Brandt Snedeker, at No. 5 the highest-ranked player in the field, bogeyed four of his first nine holes and was eight shots back after a 73.
Snedeker came into last Sunday with a share of the Masters lead, but fell off with a final-round 75.
"A few loose shots here and there and maybe a little overconfidence," Snedeker said. "I was kind of thinking the course was going to be really easy. And it's never easy. It's a good little wake up call."
Day and Leishman are glad for the strong start and eager to bring more golf glory to fans back home. "It's exciting for the future of Australian golf," Leishman said. "Hopefully, we can all keep playing well and keep the excitement levels up."

Just wanted to post this for visibility. When I'm on mobile trying to quick reply, the side menu bar often opens unprovoked and covers the text box. Have to "open it" (big plus sign) ten close it (-) to make it shift off to the side again. With long posts it helps itself to covering my visibility again.
What is the mobile device you are using? Anyone else having this issue & would it help if I moved the + to the left side like on the desktop browser?
I use an iphone. I found a workaround where I close the keyboard and come back to it, but it's still a pain in the butt not being able to read half of your post. Not sure how moving the menu would affect this, but it may be worth a shot!

EL PASO, Texas — A season that began with so much promise for Southern California will end Monday in a place few would have expected to see the Trojans this bowl season.
Instead of the BCS, the Trojans (7-5) will face Georgia Tech (6-7) in Sun Bowl. Both teams are unranked and riding two-game losing streaks, and Southern Cal will be without injured quarterback Matt Barkley (shoulder).
Barkley, the first three-time captain in team history, injured his right shoulder injury in the loss to UCLA. It was announced Thursday that Barkley was not cleared to play in the Sun Bowl. He put together one of the greatest careers in Southern Cal history and is expected to be one of the first quarterback drafted by the NFL in April.
Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said he doesn't expect Southern Cal to change much offensively with Wittek.
"Surely he's an excellent player," Johnson said of Barkley, "but I think the young man that played in his place is also very talented. We only had the one game to break it down, but you can see he's got good feet, a very strong arm and he's very capable. I doubt they're going to change what they do."
And neither will Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets, with their triple-option offense, are fourth in the nation in rushing, averaging 323 yards per game. Quarterback Tevin Washington has run for 19 touchdowns.
"It's very difficult (to prepare for)," Kiffin said of Tech's offense. "Luckily, we had a month to prepare for it. I don't know how people do it in a week. It took us a week to get the (scout) team to play them. It's different. In a weird way, it's like playing Oregon. There are not a lot of plays being run, but they're so good at it."
The Yellow Jackets have to prepare for a Southern Cal offense that features two of the best receivers in the nation in Lee and junior Robert Woods, who is expected to make a decision after the game regarding whether or not he plans to enter the NFL draft. Woods is Southern Cal's all-time receptions leader, while Lee won the Biletnikoff Award and finished fourth in this year's Heisman voting.
"The two wide receivers are so talented," Johnson said. "They've got a good offensive line, an adequate running game. They're just very talented all up and down at every position."
Sun Bowl
Southern California (7-5) vs. Georgia Tech (6-7), noon EST (CBS)
Line: Southern Cal by 7½
Series Record: Southern Cal leads 2-1
What's at stake: For a team coming off a two-year bowl ban and which entered the season ranked No. 1, the Sun Bowl is a consolation prize for Southern Cal. And it will have to play without QB Matt Barkley, who is out with a shoulder injury. But as much as the Trojans want to get a win, Georgia Tech may actually be the more desperate team. The Yellow Jackets are bowl eligible for the 16th consecutive season (the fourth-longest such streak in the country), but they've lost their last seven bowl games, including a 30-27 overtime loss to Utah in last year's Sun Bowl.
Key matchup: Southern Cal QB Max Wittek vs. Georgia Tech's defense. Wittek has a lot of weapons at his disposal and has had extra time to prepare for Georgia Tech's No. 53-ranked defense, but he'll be making just his second college start.
Players to watch: Southern Cal WR Marqise Lee, the Pac-12 offensive player of the year and Biletnikoff Award winner who finished fourth in the Heisman voting, leads the nation in catches (95), is second in yards (1,764) and second in yards per game (147) and has 14 TD catches. WR Robert Woods, who is Southern Cal's all-time receptions leader, has 73 catches for 813 yards and 11 TDs.
Georgia Tech QB Tevin Washington, the ACC's all-time leader in QB rushing TDs (37), has passed for 1,764 yards and seven TDs and rushed for 638 and 19 TDs. He leads a Tech offense that is No. 4 in the nation in rushing at 323 yards per game.

Yesterday saw another early start, not only I am starting to get further away from home, but also I wanted some time at the ancestral villages of Singleton and West Dean once I had reached the other end of the days walk. This is the last section of the walk that is wholly in the county of West Sussex, next time I will be crossing the border into Hampshire.
I had walked the first few miles of the route before, but that must have been 15 to 20 years ago and the only thing I remember is the first hill, Bury Hill (pictured below), which rises up from the River Arun at Amberley, West Sussex.
I remember vividly how last time the climb nearly killed me, but all this walking I have been doing must be paying off because it was nowhere near as bad as I had imagined it would be, and now I look at the photo it doesn't look that daunting at all.
On the whole this section of the South Downs Way wasn't quite as flat as some of the previous sections, and several times the path dropped down into a valley before climbing back up onto the hills on the opposite side. It is quite re-assuring to be able to look across the valley and see the path continuing onwards, such as the photo below which shows Bignor Hill as seen from Westburton Hill.
I have frequently seen or heard that the South Downs Ways follows ancient pathways, and just past Bignor Hill there is an excellent example of this, where part of South Downs Way passes along Stane Street, the Roman road running from Chichester to London. This is commemorated by the fingerpost (shown below) pointing the way to Noviomagus (Chichester) and Londinium (London), although I think the other small sign should have said "NO CHARIOTS" rather than "NO CARS".
Nearby Stane Street is Glatting Beacon (pictured below), which dominates the sky line with it's two radio masts bristling with aerials and dishes. Also amongst the trees is a trig point, but I deliberately skipped this one (and an earlier one on Bury Hill) to save time. The views southwards from just below Glatting Beacon are quite fantastic, down to the City of Chichester and the coast, as usual the view was a bit hazy.
As I walked further west the hills started to become more wooded, although there were still gaps where some spectacular views opened up, mostly to the north, such as in the photo below from the fingerpost near Crown Tegleaze.
Further west still, on Graffham Down, the nature of the path changes completely as it enters into a woodland corridor, completely blocking the views to the north and south for about a mile and a half, and providing some welcome shade from the midday sun.
Soon though the shade vanished and I was out on Heyshott Down, and on the look out for the trig point (pictured below). I had thought it would be nice to stop and sit by the trig point and have my lunch, as it was almost guaranteed to have some fine views. Unfortunately the field was occupied by cattle, and I didn't fancy sharing my lunch with them. A footpath leads across the field, straight past the trig point, so I went and got some photos, whilst watching where I was treading!
From Heyshott Down the path descended for the final time that day to Hillbarn Farm and the nearby car park on the main road. As seems to be the norm I ended the walk next to a busy road, and as is my usual luck I was about a minute from the bus stop when I saw the bus rush past the end of the farm track.
At least it gave me time to find a shady spot in the car park and sit down and eat my lunch and take the weight off my feet. The buses here, just south of the village of Cocking, are pretty frequent (every half hour) and fortunately the route back to Chichester (and the train home), would take me through Singleton and West Dean, where I could do some ancestral wandering.

This is one of the most surprising articles I found in my recent trawl of the British Newspaper Archive. It comes from the 10th September 1850 edition Sussex Advertiser and concerns my 4x great-grandfather William Trower and the residence in question was almost certainly Harwoods Farm in Henfield, Sussex.
BURGLARY.-On the morning of Sunday, the 1st inst., the residence of Mr William Trower, near New Inn, was broken into by four men, disguised in masks and with muffled shoes. The most violent threats and imprecations were used by the villians against Mr Trower and his wife, whom they awoke for the purpose of demanding where their money was. They remained in the house nearly two hours, and after ransacking it in every part, regaled themselves with some home-made wine they found on the premises. On leaving they took many articles of clothing and provisions, and it is hoped that the property, most of which can be identified, may lead to the detection of the ruffians.
I detect a hint of sensationalism in this story and a touch of humour with the ruffians regaling themselves with some home-made wine, although of course there is a serious crime underlying the story, which I have not been able to follow-up on yet. I would love to find out if anyone was ever brought to justice for the crime.
What is particularly surprising to me is that my 4x great-grandparents had anything worth considering stealing. I have always envisaged them being a fairly poor family, albeit a family that had their own farm, but maybe I need to look again at that picture I have of them.

The costs of wind power are falling, not only for turbine cost and performance, but also for operating and maintaining onshore wind farms. In just the last four years, operation and maintenance costs have dropped 38 percent, according to the Bloomberg New Energy Finance Wind Operations and Maintenance Price Index.
The figures are based on average prices for full service operation and maintenance contracts in onshore wind farms between 2008 and 2012. For the report, which appeared in the first issue of the O&M Price Index, Bloomberg analysts examined confidential operation and maintenance contract data from 38 major wind power developers and service providers around the world.
Service providers consisted of turbine manufacturers, primarily in Europe and the Americas. The price data included 104 confidential and undisclosed contracts in more than 24 markets. Typical contracts considered in the report included replacement costs of major components -- for example, blades, gearboxes, and generators -- as well as scheduled and unscheduled maintenance work.
Compared to the costs of gas-fired and coal-fired generation, the capital costs of wind power have already become more competitive due to better turbine siting and wind farm management, as well as lower cost, more technically advanced turbines, said Michael Liebreich, chief executive of Bloomberg New Energy Finance, in a press release.
Wind project owners and investors are becoming increasingly interested in improving the performance and efficiency of wind assets, since better planning and more efficient management of spare parts can improve output and generators margins by cutting unplanned, unexpected downtime.
We've previously reported on remote-controlled climbing robots developed to make wind tower maintenance easier, cheaper, and safer by doing it remotely. Although these have not yet been deployed in anything resembling huge numbers, their use could also bring maintenance costs down even more in the future.

Very true. I don't trust him, his BB IQ seems very low.. Maybe Doc is waiting for Odom?
Intriguing. I suppose Doc is also having to manage the PG cover issue regardig when CP will be healthy and the Collison toe issue.
During Doc's interview, he said he wanted Jamal in the floor in the 4th quarter but he looks tired so he give him a few minutes rest and put JJ back fortunately Jj start shooting so he let him continue playing
Darius Morris looked like complete garbage so he is gone. Hopefully we can get a decent backup big. We have three backup bigs that are complete dead weight....
I agree....BIG TIME! DEAD WEIGHT IT IS.
Is anyone else a little annoyed at the fact that not only is Blake's block on Valancuinas' dunk isn't on any highlight reels, but that it also wasn't counted as a block in the stat sheet? I mean it wasn't the block of the year, but it was a pretty damn good block.
My guess is they'll sign another PG (Wayns?) to a 10 contract and then make a move right before or after Paul returns to sign a big (Odom?).
Me. I couldn't believe it when it was left off the box score.
We are in dire need of a big off the bench DJ is slowing on this trip. Having solid relief could keep him and Blake fresh. I would take Kaman even at this point.

I am watching the scrimmage right now and my laker fan girl friend asks "who will take kobe's spot on the next Olympic team?" Got me thinking because I could not really give an answer; Russell Westbrook? Klay Thompson? two dudes I do not want to see in the play offs.
lebron or durant make the move to the 2?
I was thinking James Harden if he plays.
By the way, this should be in the NBA forum.
I forgot James Harden but he needs the ball a lot, kind of a chucker, probably the best shooting guard in the league but not the best fit.
Yeah, that is possible. They can definitely shut down the foreign shooting guards.
that is true, but he is still a great spot up shooter. he did a lot of that in OKC, with Westbrook and Durant shooting most of the shots and driving.
Lebron at the 5 Durant at the 4. Lets run and gun! Can you imagine a team where Lebron plays the 5? I can't even begin to think of the fast breaks
2k cheese right there
Curry! Duh!
lol and kobe wasn't/is not a chucker?
The NBA sure is lacking young talent at SG.
I think Paul George would fit well along with Harden. Curry and Klay would also be good options. The team is stacked at PG, and a lot of those are scoring PG's so I don't think there will be that much trouble filling the spot.
Gonna be someone who scores a lot and fits the role of the World's style of basketball. Remember, they use Lebron and Melo at PF, and rarely use true centers at the Center spot. Most of the world shoots from long range and plays along the perimeter.
I'd place a bet that it'll be Harden or maybe a guy that isn't even in the league yet. Regardless, it'll be a top player in the league, even someone like Russell Westbrook could be a serious candidate. Durant will play the 3 and Lebron at the 4 as always.
Meh just consider WB and Rose SGs.
Harden. Euro-style basketball favors his euro-stepping ways.

Stephen Hawking has a mighty mind imprisoned in a helpless body.
Almost everything he does has to be done with the aid of human technology. He speaks with an artificial voice, moves about in artificial conveyances, writes with the aid of high-tech devices.
His god-given voice, his mobility, and most of his motor functions have been lost since 1963, when he was diagnosed, at age 21, with motor neurone disease. Deprived of normal interaction with the outside world, he began exploring the universe with his remarkable mind. Using that versatile conveyance, he discovered black holes and waded through dark energy and dark matter, while examining the Higgs boson.
I use the expression "god-given voice" advisedly, knowing that Hawking and I have different understandings of the concept. In fact, he might well object to my using it all. It was he who wrote, "The universe can create itself out of nothing, and God is no longer necessary."
I could, with greater confidence, observe that Stephen Hawking was never necessary. The universe had already existed for eons untold before his mind began to explore it.
Yet I can understand why he would put more stock in human knowledge than in divine revelation, or even divine existence.
Until his debilitating disease struck, Hawking was an active student at England's Oxford University, with a lively interest in classical music and science fiction. As the cox of his rowing team, he was known as something of a daredevil.
His physics tutor observed of him:
"It was only necessary for him to know that something could be done, and he could do it without looking to see how other people did it."
So Hawking figured it was possible to learn how the universe was created without asking God. If he couldn't create it himself, he could at least tell us how it was created. And he apparently believes he has a handle on the answer: The universe created itself out of nothing.
"The fact that we human beings, who are ourselves mere collections of fundamental particles of nature, have been able to come this close to an understanding of the laws governing us and our universe is a great triumph," he declared.
Like almost all other inhabitants of this planet, I am poorly qualified to take on Stephen Hawking in a contest of logic, just as he is unqualified to take on Adam Scott in a round of golf.
Moreover, he is a man I profoundly admire. He can't take a hike, go swimming, row a boat, play tennis or golf, or embrace those he loves. Yet, he can get around the virtually limitless universe with an ease that I can only marvel at.
If I needed to understand how the Higgs boson imbues matter with the quality of mass, I would address the question to Hawking.
If I wanted to find out how God fits into the overall picture, I would have to inquire elsewhere.
For whether God is the designer and builder of the universe or an irrelevant concept invented by the ancients to explain the unexplainable, he is not Stephen Hawking.
And if I were suddenly and unexpectedly confronted with irrefutable evidence that God did not exist, I would be left with a profound feeling of depression.
For if there is no God, then it follows that the human mind is the greatest repository of knowledge and wisdom in the known universe. And the truth is, the smarter we get, the more advanced our technology becomes, the more we botch things up.
The greatest minds have been playing a guessing game over the origin of the universe. The once-promising "steady state" theory has been debunked. It held that the universe, though expanding, still looks the same, has had no beginning, and will have no end.
The Big Bang theory is now the narrative of choice. It postulates that the universe began as a singularity — an object that was infinitely small but with a mass that was infinitely great. It proceeded to "explode," and we and everything that exists are all fragments of that singularity.
Ordinary minds have trouble wrapping themselves around these concepts. We tend to find authorities we admire who are much better versed than we, and accept their versions of reality.
It reminds me of a long-time Virginia congressman I once interviewed, who told me how he made up his mind on complex issues involving the economy.
He would check to find out what Wilbur Mills thought about it. Mills was the Arkansas congressman who chaired the Ways and Means committee. What Mills thought, his Virginia colleague thought.
Mills may have been infallible when it came to budgetary matters, but he was eventually dethroned when he ended up drunk in the wee hours with an Argentine stripper who had left his car and jumped into Washington's Tidal Basin.
I place Stephen Hawking on a much higher moral and intellectual plane than I do Wilbur Mills. But I'm not yet ready to accept him as the ultimate authority on God and the universe.
Galileo once referred to the universe as "this grand book, which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it ..."
Just wondering what the scientific formula is for consciousness. Or for love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, and self-control.
Maybe we should ask God.

Another potential problem for disc brake systems can occur if the system is improperly assembled using an actuator intended for drum brakes. Drum brake actuators include a check valve in the master cylinder to maintain a low amount of pressure in the brake line even when not braking. This improves the responsiveness of drum brakes, but isn't enough pressure to cause drum brakes to drag. However, for disc brakes, this residual line pressure will cause the brakes to drag and overheat. So it is important to ensure that the master cylinder does not have a check valve when installed with disc brakes.
Once I understood all this, I could begin to troubleshoot the brake system. The combined boat and trailer weighed around 6,500 pounds, and my tow vehicle is a full-size truck with plenty of power and a tow rating well in excess of the trailer weight. Although towing the trailer makes a very noticeable load on the truck, the additional drag from the trailer brakes caused by low pressure in the brake lines is not noticeable when driving. Therefore, low pressure in the brake lines could be the cause of smoking brakes.
I had successfully towed the trailer a number of times prior to this problem, so I concluded there was not a fundamental flaw with the design or initial installation of the brake system. Nonetheless, I inspected the actuator and noted that it had a label stating it did not contain a check valve and that it was for disc brake systems.
Since the wheels were all smoking at the same time, I also concluded the problem was most likely with a common part of the hydraulic system rather than a common problem at all four wheels. I inspected the brake lines, and they were all clear -- no kinks or sharp bends that might retain pressure. I also checked the individual brake calipers just to be sure there was nothing causing interference. Therefore, the likely cause of the problem was at the actuator assembly as it was the only remaining component in the system that could affect all the brakes.
The actuator on the trailer contained a bypass solenoid, which should relieve any residual brake pressure while in reverse. However, its likely failure mode would be either to not activate when it should (allowing the brakes to be applied when backing), or to have some type of blockage preventing the brakes from applying in the forward direction. Neither of these scenarios fit the problem of low-level brake pressure in the forward direction.
I conducted a simple test of the actuator to ensure it was properly applying and releasing the brakes. I jacked up one trailer wheel, and then simulated the braking action of the tow vehicle by manually compressing the coupler into actuator while rotating the wheel (with a helper). The brake applied and stopped the wheel from rotating, just as the brake should. However, when I released the coupler and re-extended it from the actuator, the wheel remained locked and would not rotate! Ah ha! This confirmed that somehow the actuator was keeping brake pressure in the system. But how? I had released and fully re-extended the coupler from the actuator. There was no check valve in the master cylinder. There were no kinks in the brake lines.
I removed a small cover from the actuator housing and looked inside. It appeared at first that the piston rod for the master cylinder was in a fully extended position, which should have relieved the hydraulic pressure. However, I saw that the coupler only pushes against the piston rod for the compression force. The design does not positively pull the piston rod back out when the coupler re-extends. On closer inspection, I observed that the piston rod was not quite fully extended. I reached inside the actuator housing and managed to fully extend the piston rod. I then rechecked the trailer wheel and saw that it rotated freely. This showed that the master cylinder was keeping pressure in the brake system because the piston did not fully extend upon release of the coupler.

The following snow report should make skiers and snowboarders smile.
If history is any indication, there always will be enough powder at Purgatory to make it worth the trip up the hill.
But the snowpack isn�t consistent, said Chet Anderson, one of Purgatory�s founders.
�There�s a bigger deviation in yearly snowfall at Purgatory than you see elsewhere,� Anderson said. �The snowpack at Aspen or Vail will be more evenly distributed.�
Purgatory�s snowpack is a phenomenon of the Southwest Colorado climate, Anderson said.
Whatever the reason, since the Purgatory resort, now Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort, opened in 1965-66, the winter�s average total snowfall � generally November into April � has been 234.6 inches.
As of Wednesday, DMR has received 168 inches of snow this season, according to its website.
In only a couple of 47 ski seasons has the snow level truly disappointed.
(In contrast to the variable snowfall, the price of a daily lift ticket for an adult age 18 to 64 has increased � from $4.50 in 1965-66 to $75 today.)
There�s always snow at Purgatory, but measuring it isn�t a science, said Robert McDaniel, a member of the resort�s ski patrol since 1977-78 and former director of the Animas Museum in Durango for more than 30 years.
McDaniel�s affinity for history led him to methodical data gathering and recording of snow levels for future reference.
�I�m glad to pull all this information together,� McDaniel said. �This gave me a reason to go back and fill in a few gaps and put all the snowfall records in order for posterity.�
He offered some caveats:
Purgatory doesn�t have sophisticated instruments to measure snowfall and water content. It�s done by hand with platters and yardsticks.
The seasonal totals for the first seven years is based on U.S. Forest Service estimates.
Human-made snow � the system was installed before the 1982-83 season � doesn�t count in the totals.
Snow that fell in a given year before ski patrol personnel started working or after the resort closed for the season wasn�t counted.
On days the resort didn�t open, ski patrol members weren�t on duty to measure snowfall.
�It�s quite possible there are a few errors in the chart I put together,� McDaniel said. �For purposes of averages and long-term trends, however, any remaining errors will be inconsequential.�
Despite the annual variation in the snowpack, the total season average snowfall, with a few exceptions, has occurred without tremendous fluctuation.
Extremely heavy snowfalls occurred in 1978-79 (500 inches), 1974-75 (458 inches) and five years in which the total ranged from 311 to 339 inches.
The lowest total was 46.5 inches in 1976-77 when the ski season opened Jan. 6 and closed Feb. 17.
The viability of the 1980-81 season also appeared in doubt, but it escaped disaster at the last moment, McDaniel said.
�March was the only big month, and it saved us,� McDaniel said. �We got back-to-back dumps in the nick of time.�
The season total was 144 inches.
�Prior to those big snowstorms, the base area basically had no snow,� McDaniel said. �We had to spread straw on the mud so people could get to the lifts.�
Paul Folwell recalls that lean year.
�We had shovel crews that would cover rocks and dirt and mud,� he said. �We spent a lot of time shoveling snow from trees and elsewhere.�
Folwell, now a studio painter whose work sometimes reflects skiing, was at the resort from the outset. Among his duties as mountain manager was supervising maintenance and the ski patrol.
�I did a lot of research on snowmaking, but I left in 1982 before they actually began doing it that winter,� Folwell said. �I also took a lot of snow measurements on the Cascade Divide in case they expanded that way, which they never did.�
Overall, in 47 seasons, total snow numbers fell into the 100-inch range 14 times, in the 200-inch range 25 times and in the 300-inch range 5 times. Then there were the three anomalies � 46.5, 458 and 500.
No monthly snowfall totals were available for the first nine years of the 47 seasons. But the cumulative monthly totals in inches for 38 years were: October, 212; November, 1,029; December, 1,824.5; January, 1,864.5; February, 1,929.5; March, 1,777.5; and April, 440.5.
It snows less at the beginning and the end of a season. Snow fell in October six years and in April 26 years.
Chet Anderson, the early-day resort developer, began checking out potential sites for skiing in 1962.
�Purgatory was one of the better locations,� Anderson said. �It was close to Durango, there was a highway to it and it had snow.�
Anderson didn�t have a financial interest in the venture, but he was involved in site development. He was the general manager and later did construction and planning. He left for good in 1990.

The Aiken County Sheriff's Office is investigating an armed robbery at the Family Dollar on Sand Bar Ferry Road in Beech Island on Saturday night.
A cashier at the store said that while he was ringing up a customer, a black man entered the store, pointed what appeared to be a pistol that was covered by a purple towel at him and said, "Give me the money." The cashier said he gave the man the drop box from the cash register that contained an unknown amount of money and an unknown amount of money that was already out of the register.
The subject then left the store through the front door and fled toward Sand Bar Ferry Road.
The responding officer's report described the subject as a 25- to 30-year-old male with a "medium brown complexion," He weighs 160 to 180 pounds and is 6 feet to 6 feet 3 inches tall. The subject was wearing a white T-shirt and gray pants. A black hood and scarf covered his head.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Will Sheehey scored a career-high 22 points and Cody Zeller had 19 as No. 1 Indiana rolled over Purdue 83-55 on Saturday, routing the Boilermakers for the second time in 2½ weeks.
Indiana (23-3, 11-2 Big Ten) bucked the recent trend of No. 1 teams losing and will likely keep the top spot for a third straight week. It also will retain at least a share of the league lead.
The Hoosiers have won eight of their last nine games.
Terone Johnson and Anthony Johnson each had 11 points to lead Purdue (12-14, 5-8), which has lost five of six and became the first team in school history to lose twice to Indiana in the same season by 20 or more points.
Indiana led 21-18 less than nine minutes into the game, extended the margin to 33-14 and never let Purdue get closer than 10 again.
No. 5 Gonzaga 71, San Francisco 61
SAN FRANCISCO — Kelly Olynyk had 26 points and nine rebounds and Elias Harris added 17 points and 13 rebounds to help Gonzaga snap a three-year losing streak at War Memorial Gymnasium.
The Bulldogs' frontline tandem bullied and bruised their way to a fast start and furious finish. Olynyk finished 13 for 17 from the floor and Harris went 7 of 15 as both keyed an 11-0 run in the final minutes that put the Zags (25-2, 12-0 West Coast Conference) ahead for good.
Cole Dickerson scored 15 points and Cody Doolin added 14 to help the Dons (11-15, 4-9) rally back after trailing by 15 in the first half. Unlike the last three years when USF stunned Gonzaga at home, the Bulldogs regrouped and showed why they're ranked so high.
No. 7 Florida 83, Auburn 52
AUBURN, Ala. — Mike Rosario scored 22 points, Kenny Boynton had 16 and Florida routed Auburn.
The Gators (21-3, 11-1 Southeastern Conference) raced to a 25-point halftime lead and set a season high with 15 3-pointers on 30 attempts
It matched the worst loss for Auburn (9-16, 3-9) in coach Tony Barbee's three seasons, tying a 90-59 defeat against Mississippi on Feb. 16, 2011.
The Gators have won their last three SEC games by an average of 24 points since their only league loss at Arkansas.
No. 11 Butler 68, Fordham 63
NEW YORK — Rotnei Clarke scored 22 points and Butler handed Fordham its sixth straight loss and ninth in the last 10 games.
Clarke was the key figure for the Bulldogs (21-5, 8-3 Atlantic 10) late in the game when the Rams (6-20, 2-9) were able to close to 65-63 with 18 seconds to play.
The Bulldogs closed it out by making four of six free throws the rest of the way to improve to 36-10 after a loss under coach Brad Stevens. Butler lost to Charlotte 71-67 on Wednesday.
No. 18 Marquette 79, No. 16 Pittsburgh 69
MILWAUKEE — Vander Blue scored 19 points to help Marquette a share of first place in the Big East.
Blue was 7 of 8 from the field and 3 for 4 on free throws to go with six rebounds for the Golden Eagles (18-6, 9-3), who pulled into a tie with Georgetown atop the conference.
The Golden Eagles, who lost to the Hoyas, 63-55 on Monday, shot 57 percent (26 for 46) to win their 23rd straight home game – the fourth-longest active streak in the country.
Lamar Patterson scored 19 points to lead Pittsburgh (20-6, 8-5), which entered the game fifth in the nation in scoring defense (54.4 ppg).
No. 17 Oklahoma St. 84, Oklahoma 79, OT
STILLWATER, Okla. — Marcus Smart scored 28 points, Le'Bryan Nash added a season-high 26 and Oklahoma State got its third straight down-to-the-wire win at home.
Smart fed Nash for a right-handed slam with 53 seconds left in overtime to put the Cowboys (19-5, 9-3 Big 12) up 80-79, and Oklahoma couldn't come up with an answer. Markel Brown's steal led to a fastbreak layup by Michael Cobbins, and Smart blocked Steven Pledger's attempt at a tying 3-pointer that gave Oklahoma State the ball back with 18 seconds to go.
Smart sealed it with two free throws, and Cowboys fans stormed the court after winning their seventh straight game. The Cowboys' last two home wins were by two points apiece.
Romero Osby led the Sooners (16-8, 7-5) with 18 points and 15 rebounds, and Sam Grooms had a career-best 18 points.
Providence 71, No. 21 Notre Dame 54
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Kadeem Batts scored 20 points and Vincent Council had 11 assists to become Providence's career leader.
Bryce Cotton, the Big East scoring leader, had 19 points and LaDontae Henton 13 for the Friars (14-11, 6-7). Providence has won four straight, including a victory over then-No. 17 Cincinnati on Feb. 6.
Council also had 11 rebounds and seven points. His 671 assists surpassed the 662 of Ernie DiGregorio from 1970-73. Council needs two assists to match the Big East record of 426 set by Syracuse's Sherman Douglas from 1985-89..
Jack Cooley led Notre Dame (20-6, 8-5) with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
No. 24 Colorado St. 89, Air Force 86
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — Dorian Green scored 22 points to help Colorado State get its sixth straight win.
The Rams led 82-72 with 1:05 remaining, but the Falcons pulled within four twice in the final minute. Michael Lyons hit a 3-pointer for Air Force with 2 seconds left, but Colorado State inbounded the ball without incident to close the game.
The Rams (21-4, 8-2 Mountain West) have won eight of nine and dropped the Falcons to 11-2 at Clune Arena.
Tennessee 88, No. 25 Kentucky 58
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Trae Golden had 24 points and eight assists as Tennessee got its most lopsided win in the 216-game history of this series.
Kentucky (17-8, 8-4 Southeastern Conference) was playing its first game without star center Nerlens Noel, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Tuesday during a loss to No. 7 Florida.
The Wildcats looked like a completely different team without him.
Jordan McRae scored 15 points and Kenny Hall had 12 points as Tennessee (14-10, 6-6) shot 58 percent and won its third straight game. Jarnell Stokes had nine points and nine rebounds, ending his string of six consecutive double-doubles.
Kyle Wiltjer scored 18 points, Julius Mays had 12 points and Jarrod Polson had a career-high 11 for Kentucky. Willie Cauley-Stein, Alex Poythress and Ryan Harrow all fouled out.

Women chatted over their teacups, saucers and scones, while holiday carols were sung at the Aiken Women's Christian Connection Holiday High Tea at Woodside Plantation Country Club from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Tuesday's event, offering early Christmas cheer and fellowship, was organized with the help of tea aficionados Sedley Roach and Connie Gantt, who both believe one cup of tea a day keeps a person healthy and happy.
Every teacup, plate, silverware and teapots came from the private collections of Roach and Ganntt. Each lady drank from an unique cup – some painted and filigreed with birds and flowers.
Between the scones, finger sandwiches and cookies, local musician Vicki Rutland led the Aiken Christian Women's Connection in singing "Deck the Halls," "Silent Night" and "Jingle Bell Rock."
Then, guest speaker Marynell Wallace presented her speech "What in Heaven's Name Are You Doing?"
Wallace, the youngest of four children and the only girl, said she never felt she was good enough when it came to school, relationships or other facets of life.
Her mother and she were at constant odds with one another, and Wallace often heard the question, "What in heaven's name are you doing?" Her answer often was, "I don't know."
"As an adult, I continued to try to be good enough. From the time I took my first drink, I knew I could be good at this," Wallace said. "I drank to feel something, to try to fill the emptiness in my heart. At least the alcohol deadened the whispers of, 'You're not good enough.'"
Even after waking up in a lake after a blackout, Wallace continued drinking until a friend called her on it. She completed a recovery program and has been sober for 33 years.
But, she said it wasn't until she turned over her feelings of rejection to God at a retreat that she realized "God doesn't love people because we're good, he loves people because he's good."
"God is with me no matter where I am. I want everyone to know I am living for his glory, not my own," she said.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to correctly name the private collections the teacups, plates, silverware and teapots were from. The Aiken Standard regrets the error.
