EAST LANSING -- Everybody knows about program wins, but if there is such a thing as a program play Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio called midway through the fourth quarter of Saturday's 35-31 victory against Penn State.
With the Spartans trailing 31-28 and facing fourth-and-5 at their own 25, Dantonio called for a fake punt -- specifically a direct snap to senior Jehuu Caulcrick who was lined up as a blocking back.
The senior started running off right tackle, but the Nittanly Lions sniffed out the play.
"Nothing was happening there and out of the corner of my eye I saw the outside open up," Caulcrick said.
So he changed directions and rushed for 17 yards around left end and first down.
Eight plays later, Caulcrick dove in for the game-winning 1-yard touchdown with 4:08 left.
"Well, it didn't look good," Dantonio said of the situation. "I really felt like we had to make a tough call there. "I checked with (defensive coordinator Pat) Narduzzi and said, 'We're going to fake it, how are you (geared up defensively).'
"He said, 'Let's go.' And I said, 'All right, we're in.' I just feel like you have to take great risks sometimes to get great rewards. It was certainly at a time probably not too many people thought we'd fake it."
Caulcrick ran for a season-high 99 yards on 22 carries.
"It didn't work out as we planned it, but guys stuck to their blocks and kept fighting and something good happened," Caulcrick said. "We weren't going to hold anything back and whatever happens, happens."
"He did one of my moves, bouncing and getting to the outside," shifty junior running back Javon Ringer said. "It was great to see him running so hard and powerful in his last game in Spartan Stadium. It was a great feeling for me."
Penn State coach Joe Paterno said the Lions played the fake perfectly.
"I think we had it where he was going to go, but the kid just did a good job," Paterno said. "I really didn't see it, but it was no surprise."
Going bowling
The reward in this case is a bowl game. The Spartans are in contention with Indiana and Purdue, teams they beat earlier in the season, for the Insight and Motor City bowls.
They also have a realistic outside shot at the Champs Sports Bowl if Illinois was to get an at-large BCS bid. The 9-3 Illini currently are 19th in the BCS rankings and would have to move up to 12th for such an event to take place.
Hawaii also poses a threat to the Big Ten getting an at-large berth if it can crack the Top 12.
"There are no deals in smoke-filled rooms," said Motor City Bowl executive director Ken Hoffman, who watched the MSU-Penn State game from the press box.. "This won't be resolved (today) and it could be Dec. 2nd at the earliest."
Thomas' record day
Junior wide receiver Devin Thomas became MSU's single-season leader in receptions with his first catch, a 19-yarder in the first quarter. Thomas broke a tie at the top with Charles Rogers, who caught 68 passes in 2002.
In the third quarter, Thomas moved ahead of Plaxico Burress into third place on MSU's single-season receiving yardage list. He also became the first Spartans player to record seven 100-yard receiving games and only the seventh to catch three touchdown passes in a game.
"It feels real good to give the team a chance to win the game," Thomas said. "I just ran my routes and (quarterback Brian) Hoyer found me. It was a situation where we trying to send the seniors out on top."
More trickery
One of the most important plays came in the third quarter when backup wideout Ryan Allison took a handoff on a reverse and threw a 23-yard pass to tight end Kellen Davis, who was tackled at the Lions' 2-yard line. Two plays later, Hoyer threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to fullback Jeff McPherson -- it was the first score of his career -- to cut Penn State's lead to 24-14.
"We've been practicing that for a couple weeks (with Allison)," Davis said. "We tried it against Ohio State with Devin, but he's got no kind of arm. He throws like a girl. But Allison has a little bit more of an arm and he was able to make the throw."
Hoyer has up-and-down day
Hoyer completed 16-of-21 for 257 yards to move into fourth place on MSU's single-season passing yardage list, but he committed three turnovers on two interceptions and a fumbled snap, which Penn State converted into 17 points.
But, Hoyer was brilliant on a 12-yard touchdown pass to Thomas in the first quarter, a 33-yarder down the middle to a wide-open Thomas in the third and a 26-yarder only Thomas could reach in the right side of the end zone with 11:04 left.
"This was something I've been working towards all season and it just shows the maturity I gaine," said Hoyer, who threw just five interceptions in the previous 11 games. "You can't let two interceptions get you down because there's 30 more minutes to play."

Trip Report: 017
Flight Category: J-ILR (See Report End)
Date: 12-Oct-06
Dep.Arr.Time: 1935/1945/13:10hrs (Delayed by 01:30hrs)
Flight: AIR CANADA AC 66, 6612 miles
Routing: ICN-YYZ
Aircraft: 343
Seat: Executive First, 4K
I > Background:
Part of a month long amazing passage to India for a wedding, with some stops in Asia to see friends. Routing was CCS-MIA-EWR-SIN-CGK-SIN-CCU-DEL-CCU-BOM-CCU-IXZ-CCU-IXA-GAU-CCU-SIN-ICN-YYZ-EWR-CCS with a mix of J and Y class of travel. This focuses on the AC J-class segment from ICN to YYZ. Other trip reports for this trip will be EWR-SIN (SQ/J-Cabin), SIN-CGK (KI), CGK-SIN (VF), CCU-DEL (SG), DEL-CCU (IC), IXZ-CCU (DN), CCU-IXA (CD), IXA-GAU (IT), GAU-CCU (6E), and CCU-SIN (SQ/J-Cabin). I think these reports will be "firsts" for revenue flights on CD, IT (mainline) and 6E and cover IXA, GAU, IXZ-CCU, and CCU-DEL for the first time on Airliners.Net.
II > Pre-Flight:
a) Before Airport:
Booking for the sector was made using my travel agent in CCS. I was frustrated that the agent could not book my seat directly and I had to call AC to have my seat confirmed. Later on it did not matter, as my seat was given out at ICN (sad.)
b) At Airport:
ICN is an excellent airport – just zillions of miles ahead of SEL. Anyways, since I was on a connecting flight on SQ ex-SIN, this travel report will not deal with check-in and other aspects of a normal trip report. SQ could not issue my AC boarding passes for the ICN-YYZ leg both at CCU or at SIN; I found this very strange given how much Star Alliance touts their inter-connectedness. Anyways, upon disembarkation from SQ 18 (SEL-ICN), I made my way to the Raffles Class Lounge to relax for an hour. Interestingly, I find the SQ Raffles Lounge much better than the OZ business class lounge at ICN. Does anyone else agree? The lounge was good - complete with showers, internet terminals, hot food (though it would frequently run off), and relaxation rooms. After checking my email and grabbing a bite to eat, I headed to the relaxation room to basically change into new clothes. The departure board had already indicated that the flight was delayed by an 1:30hrs so I decided to even catch a quick power nap.
Around 2035 (30 minutes prior to the new departure time), I made my way to the gate where a new boarding pass was waiting with my name hand-written. My 2A seat assignment was gone and they had initially given me a middle-row seat. However, I managed to convince them to move me to a window – this was not much of a problem was the flight was fairly empty. Boarding was rapid and at ICN there are always 2 entrances – J and Y – which makes boarding go far smoother.
The first thing that hits you on entering Air Canada's J class is how old the product looks. Poorly lit, the cabin looks straight out of the mid 1980s. The dark green old-fashioned J class seats were quite the nostalgic experience and even now I cannot decide whether it was good to have taken one last inter-continental flight on such a old-school product. Complimenting the "step back in time", were the crew who after all the flights in Asia were just old. Nothing wrong with the age factor – but it was a HUGE shock to suddenly get crew who did not smile and were only here "primarily for my safety." I started missing Asian airlines immediately! The other thing that struck me was how empty the premium cabin was (perhaps due to their product?) J class load was around 20%, while Y class was filled like sardines! Anyways, push-back was 1:30 hrs delayed due to late arrival of inbound aircraft and the captain mentioned that there would be no way of making up the time due to strong headwinds.

III> In-Flight:
a) Service Schedule + Impressions:
Pre-takeoff included a hot towel and a choice of drinks. Post take-off, amenity kits were distributed along with noise-canceling head-phones. Soon thereafter, dinner was served. 2-3 hours prior to arrival, a breakfast was served – though, we were arriving at 845pm – joys of time travel I guess – hehe. Oh, the amenity kits were nothing amazing – but definitely a nice touch and carried all the essentials.
b) Aircraft + Seats:
The 343 does not win awards for economics or for interior cabin (vs. other similar aircrafts); however, it is an extremely beautiful aircraft from the outside! Anyways, as mentioned, the AC-J class cabin looked extremely tired and the seats were very old-fashioned. Though I could have done with the 160 degree recline and the above-average pitch (for old-styled J), the material of the seat was not as comfortable as one would expect. I was lucky that there was no one who sat next to me. Oh, and what's up with the very primitive seat controls?
Beautiful Airbus 340
Views from Aircraft:
Seat Leg-Room:
Seat Recline + Angle View:
c) Meal + Beverage:
AC's meal and beverage service included dinner soon after take off, and a breakfast 2-3hrs prior to landing in Toronto. In between, one could go to the snack bar to grab some fruits. The snack bar was a trolley the crew left on the middle aisle between seat rows 3 and 4 and the overall presentation looked incredibly tacky. One could also ask the flight attendants for a noodle bowl or some Dim Sum.
Dinner menu read as follows:
TASTE OF ASIA: Grilled Scallop on diced Ratatouille
APPPETIZER: Salmon Tataki with marinated Dill Prawn, Eggplant Caviar, and Tapenade
SALAD: Mixed Greens with Olive Oil and Balsamic
MAIN COURSE: Cream of Cauliflower Soup ( They ran out – despite J load being 30% ) and choices of :: Beef Tenderloin :: Chicken Breast Florentine :: Braised Halibut with Oyster Sauce
DESSERT: Opera Cake :: Vanilla Ice-Cream :: Fresh Fruit
CHEESE CORNERS: "Gourmet" Cheese with Crackers
Food was not delivered from the cart. Instead flight attendants would come to the cabin and just bring the food in. I chose the rather good Halibut and capped it off with a nice Vanilla ice-cream sundae. Oh, the "Taste of Asia" was just weird. We were served scallop on a soup spoon – I am sure this was AC's way of being creative … but it looked rather cheap to me.
Besides dinner, the other main meal was breakfast. I chose the Cheese Omelet which was definitely better than the crap I had been eating on SQ's J class breakfast menu on-board EWR-SIN.
JUICE SELECTION: Orange or Pineapple
MAIN COURSE: Cheese Omelet :: Steamed Rice with Seafood :: Apple Crepes
ASSORTED YOGHURT and CEREAL
AC's beverage menu was pretty basic. In addition to the range of cocktails, champagne was limited to Drappier Carte-D'Or (uugh); cheap white wine (basically a local Canadian and one from Bel-Air); cheapish red-wine (again, Canadian/Jackson-Triggs Merlot and a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon); and Cockburn Special Reserve Port. Aperitifs include Dubonnet. Spirits include Smirnoff, Bombay Sapphire (YAY), Black Label, Crown Royal Scotch Whiskey, Jack D, Bacardi White, and Rhum Blanc. Liqeuers included V.S.O.P. Cognac, Kahlua, Grand Marnier, and Bailey's. Oh, the poor beer selection included Molson and Coors light in inter-continental business!
(Looked very cheap – did they run out of serving dishes - hehe)
d) Inflight Entertainment:
One word, OUT DATED. A small screen playing 8 non AVOD movies which went with some poor-noise canceling head gear does not make good IFE.
(In-flight magazines, Boarding Passes, etc.)
e) Crew:
Air Canada's crew just did not display the level of personal warmth that is the hallmark of Asian carriers. I found their crew to be as dismal as NW's cross-pacific J crew. Perhaps I was in a culture shock after a month of mostly exemplary service on Asian carriers, but AC's crew was aloof and detached and DID NOT SMILE. They just did their job and disappeared into the cabin. Also, why was there 5 crew members assigned to the J class cabin? I mean, its not like they left the galleys much. Having said that, I don't think I would extrapolate my experience to the entire Air Canada cabin crew as I had received really excellent crew service on an AC YYZ-YVR flight a month backl. Check: AC 131: 02/SEP/06: YYZ-YVR: Y Cabin (pics) (by Abrelosojos Sep 13 2006 in Trip Reports).
IV> Post-Flight:
The new terminal at YYZ is really good and my bags arrived fast enough.
Toronto Pearson Airport, International Terminal:
V> Impressions + Scores:
Air Canada's service looked shoddy. It lacked the finesse of many of their Asian counterparts and many aspects looked plain cheap. Worse, the cabin staff was BLAH and the IFE dismal. For a premium ticket, I expect much more and would recommend passengers research other alternatives prior to choosing AC on a given segment.

Ciaran Murphy at Kavi Gupta Gallery
June 25, 2008 · Print This Article
The first exhibition of paintings by Ciaran Murphy at Kavi Gupta gallery features twelve paintings on canvas, all small or medium in size. They're painted in a style that's become all the rage of late– that low key, often monochromatic rendering of disparate objects and interiors, you know the one. The one Luc Tuymans made famous; the one that brought back small painting from the bombastic Eighties. We've all learned to appreciate a little meditative, personally scaled rumination on delicate palettes and sensitive brushwork. I know I have.
Ciaran's paintings do just what this brand of painting aims to do. Well, some of them. The idea is really lovely; what at first seems simply under-described, gives way to a transcendent moment of reverie. That by flinging off all sorts of extra baggage, the paintings may, if done well, describe ever so much more than the ones that contain excessive information. In the case of this exhibition, the effect is achieved so well in a few of the works. "Frozen Tree†is a superb painting. Barely breathing through the flat gray field of color is a vibrant, odd fleshy tone of under painting. The fallen tree and its exposed root clump are rendered just enough, and not too much. The root clump, like an explosion on the otherwise quiet composition, makes the work a succinct beauty. "Storm Damage†and "Circular Cloud Formation†achieve the same thing- calligraphic gestures doled out in minimum, and with confidence. Like a good haiku, if I dare say.
What troubles me though is where the work devolves into forced naiveté, as in "Late Eveningâ€, a small square painting with a clumpy brown hill dominating the lower two –thirds of the work, leaving room for a flat turquoise sky fitted with a tiny sliver of moon. Here it seems like a failed study. He describes only what is put down in paint. (There's a hill, and there's a moon.) It's the difference between thinking about doing (those striated ridges on the hill feel labored, contrived) and simply doing, as in "Seven Sticksâ€, where a lovely, subtle confidence shows in the decisive mark-making. I'm also not a huge fan of the places in the show that seem overwrought, as in "Huntingâ€. Let the paint do the work, my friend.
Overall, it's a good show. I love seeing the paintings all together, even if they represent a body of work in progress. I liked seeing Murphy's undecided relationship with description on parade and I can't wait to see more work by him- I have a keen sense that a more signature vision will emerge. And I think it's going to be really good then.

Amika True Tattoo Clip-Free Curler
We're sorry, this product is no longer available.
The SPECIAL EDITION Amika True Tattoo Clip-Free Curler has an 18/25 mm tourmaline barrel that easily creates silky, smooth curls.
Northwest Texas
Mar 26, 2012
Does What I Heard It Would Do!
Well, I should start off by saying, I have the type of hair that does NOT hold curls. My hair is smooth texture average thickness.
I watched a YouTube channel with a girl that does amazing hair-dos, she recommended this Amika True Tattoo Clip-Free Curler. She claimed people have even had two day curls with it.
Turned out to be true!
I didn't use any hair product at all, not even after curling with it.
On the THIRD day, I actually had to wash my curls/waves out!
I was impressed since I have such wimpy hair.
If I was to lose or break my Amika True Tattoo Clip-Free Curler for some reason, I would honestly spend the money to replace it.
Pros: Curls really did stay in all day (at least)!
Didn't have to use hairspray.
The tattoo design is awesome.
Cons: I burned the heck out of my fingers when using it the first time. I actually broke down and used the glove that is included to finish off curling my hair. It was fine after that.
The curls (on my hair type anyway) were more very significant, tight waves, rather than loopy ringlet type curls (some of you may consider that a pro! It looked very beachy and natural).
Hope this review helps!

Quick, Easy, Really Great <3
I have had this curling iron for about 2 months now. I had been searching for a long time for a clipless curling iron before hand, so I had done my research before making my purchase. To be honest, this is a really great curling iron. I am not very good with making new hairstyles, but you can do so much with a clipless iron, that you cannot do with a regular curling iron.
I have frizzy curly hair already, but sometimes, it is so hard to have defined curls, and this even helps me with that. You only need to hold it in your hair for a few seconds, and your hair comes out with beautiful, clean and very shine curls. I don't even use hairspray and they stay on for the whole day. I have a Sedu straightener and sometimes, my hair will not stay straight the whole day (that's how stubborn my hair is sometimes). And this curling iron actually eliminates frizz, defines very pretty and natural looking curls, with a very pretty shine.
I am actually looking into getting the Amika 3p because I would like more variety with smaller and larger curls, especially since they are tourmaline infused rods.
Over all very satisfied. If any downfall I have to complain about, it would have to be the awkward position of the on-off switch (wish it were a button).
one more thing
CAUTION this gets hot super duper quickly.. and when I say hot, i mean it. SUPER HOT.. First few times I was getting used to it, I got burned quite a few times. But after using it so much (close to 2-3 times a week), I find it easier to handle.
Really great product (:

This curling rod gives great curls, last overnight, not the best glove, makes hair slippery and hard to hold, this takes practice but better than burning your fingers : ) Would recommend this product

Good On Even Fine Straight Hair!
All my life I have been trying to curl my hair, and it always fell out within one hour. I use the medium curler from Amika now, and my curls stay in,(with the 2-1 hair spray), until the next time I wash my hair. I really love this and recommend it for women who have a difficult time keeping curls in their hair.

Mario Lemieux called his Hall of Fame buddy Paul Coffey not many days ago to gauge his interest in participating in a Penguins alumni game against former Washington Capitals players in conjunction with the upcoming Winter Classic.
Coffey, the fleet defenseman who fed the highly skilled center so many pucks in the late 1980s and early '90s, was quickly on board.
"Are you going to be up the middle for the long pass?" Coffey asked.
"I'm not going to be as fast as I used to be," Lemieux told him.
"Well, the pass is probably not going to be on your blade, either," Coffey replied.
Hockey players, huh?
"Guys just pick up where they left off," Coffey said Friday. "They laugh at the same jokes. Their mannerisms are always the same."
The alumni game will be outdoors at 9:30 a.m. Dec. 31 at Heinz Field, site of the Jan. 1 outdoor Winter Classic between the current Penguins and Capitals. Following the alumni game, the Penguins will hold a practice at 11:30 a.m. on the Heinz Field rink. One $25 ticket is good for the alumni game and practice.
Because of preparation that will be ongoing and to keep things manageable, capacity for the Dec. 31 events is limited to 10,000.
Only a handful of names have been confirmed, but Coffey and Lemieux will be joined by fellow Hall of Famers Ron Francis and Bryan Trottier -- they all were a part of one or both of the Penguins' first two Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992 -- as well as recently retired winger Bill Guerin and 1985 second overall draft pick Craig Simpson.
Former Penguins coach and general manager Eddie Johnston will be one of the club's coaches, and Jack Riley, the team's original general manager, has been asked to serve as honorary GM.
The only Capitals alumnus known so far is Peter Bondra, who was part of an earlier version of a strong Penguins-Washington rivalry through the 1990s. That preceded the intense rivalry now that centers around Sidney Crosby of the Penguins and Alex Ovechkin of the Capitals.
RSVPs are still arriving. Simpson, for example, read about the game online Friday and contacted the Penguins. He already was scheduled to be in Pittsburgh to work at the Winter Classic as a broadcaster for a Canadian network.
There are whispers that at least one or two players who suited up for both NHL teams will participate and perhaps switch sides during the game -- but, no, star winger Jaromir Jagr, who fits that category, is not expected to be here. He is playing in Europe.
The game pitting former players was the brainchild of Lemieux, now a Penguins co-owner. He reached out to Coffey and Francis, and their enthusiastic response spurred Lemieux to push to make sure the game happened.
Lemieux, 45, has not played in a game since he retired in January 2006. But he dons skates when he coaches his son, Austin. He and Crosby were the first to skate at Consol Energy Center. And Lemieux occasionally skates with individual children at the request of charities. But this might be the last time anyone gets to see him play.
"It's been a long time since a lot of us have had an opportunity to skate with Mario," Trottier said. "That brings a lot of added excitement for everyone -- us players, fans, everyone.
"This will bring back some great relationships with the alumni, a lot of memories from childhood skating outdoors on the frozen ponds. It's really, really special. Mario's one of my favorite people in all the world. To whatever degree he supported this or helped make it happen, God bless him."
The format for the alumni game is still being worked out, but there will be no hitting -- Guerin, 40, probably will be the whippersnapper of the lot.
If weather conditions don't allow for the alumni game to be played on the Heinz Field rink, it will be moved indoors to Consol Energy Center.
Although the event will serve as something of a reunion and no doubt offer the former players a chance to reminisce and laugh, it's still a game.
"We've got to get some practice just to get the rust off," Trottier, 54, said. "When it comes to playing, whatever level of skill, all the guys will be competitive. It's no hitting, so that will make the next day a little less tense. We all recognize where we are in life."
Coffey, 49, was asked about his first reaction when Lemieux called.
"I looked down to see how big my gut was," he cracked. "I'm in training -- I did a couple pushups yesterday."
In reality, he is thrilled that he can bring his two sons to watch not only the alumni game but also the Winter Classic. Coffey played for Edmonton in the first outdoor NHL game, the 2003 Heritage Classic, a 4-3 Montreal win in frigid Edmonton.
"The good thing about it is, we're still somewhat young enough to at least go out there and play," Coffey said.
Tickets for the alumni game will be available starting at 10 a.m. Friday at www.ticketmaster.com or 1-800-745-3000.

On top of all his other self-inflicted woes, U.S. Rep. William Jefferson must be a candidate for whiplash. In the past week alone, the news of the day has cast Jefferson in two dizzyingly distinct roles: that of a senior statesman graciously welcoming the House of Representatives' top officials to his hurricane-ravaged district, and that of a desperate politician clinging to his privileged post by his fingernails.
Jefferson made a point of planting himself front and center during the House Democratic leadership's most recent New Orleans tour. A front page newspaper photo Monday showed him at the side of U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, the House whip and a key quarterback for Katrina aid out of Washington.
Yet campaign finance reports filed days earlier painted a very different picture.
While congressional incumbents usually have no trouble raising money from interest groups and regular citizens looking to build up some chits, the report suggests Jefferson has few remaining friends, powerful or otherwise.
Two years after he pulled off a stunning victory despite the criminal investigation that has since produced an indictment and a string of damaging headlines, almost nobody is betting on a repeat.
Yes, there are contributions from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which Jefferson headed back in happier times, from a colleague, and a few from PACs. But the amazing thing is that Jefferson's once-reliable fund-raising base has been reduced down to his innermost circle.
Of the roughly $45,500 Jefferson raised between April and June -- a paltry sum for a senior member facing a reelection fight -- $13,800, or about one third, came from his own family.
Jefferson's wife, Andrea, his two oldest daughters, Jamila Jefferson Jones and ex-state Rep. Jalila Jefferson-Bullock, and their respective husbands, Philip Jones and Torey Bullock, each donated $2,300, the maximum allowed by law. Another maximum contribution came from the two daughters' law firm, although Jefferson will probably have to refund the money, since corporate donations are prohibited by the federal law governing congressional campaigns.
Meanwhile, the congressman still owes himself more than a quarter of a million dollars in loan repayments from the last election.
If the pictures from the congressional junket suggest a politician still in the game, his finance reports indicate that Jefferson is so focused on mere survival that he can't be bothered worrying about appearances.
Not only is he willing to lean on his own kids. He's not even trying to hide his close connection to other relatives who are in trouble with the law. A campaign document filed in mid-July was signed by Jefferson's niece Angela Coleman, Assessor Betty Jefferson's daughter and co-defendant in a federal case surrounding the alleged looting of state and federally sponsored charities, more than a month after she was indicted.
That's just one of four distinct investigations in which family members are either charged or prominently mentioned, including the congressman's own bribery case, set for trial in December.
If Jefferson's dual roles over the past few days have confused anyone, things will become clearer today, when the congressional tour ends.
Clyburn, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and the rest will go back to their lives in Washington.
As much as he'd like to join them, Jefferson is stuck back here with his.
. . . . . . .
CORRECTION: Sunday's column identified former assessor Ken Carter as a member of the Dryades YMCA board. Executive Director Doug Evans said Carter left the board in 2006 but remains active in the organization.

This weekend SHARK supported riders took to the track at Oulton Park, Cheshire for the seventh round of the British Superbike Championship, taking five podium finishes between them and collecting valuable season points.
In the British Superbike races Alex Lowes secured his position in the championship Showdown. In the opening race pole-sitter Lowes finished third after a long battle with James Ellison and Shane Byrne. During the second race whilst pushing for another podium, Lowes lost the front of his machine on the last lap and crashed out of the running unhurt.
The last race of the day saw Lowes take his second podium of the weekend in third place. Lowes is currently sitting third in the overall championship standings, 54 points behind leader Shane Byrne. Meanwhile fellow SHARK-riders James Westmoreland and Howie Mainwaring-Smart finished their weekends in the top-ten respectively with Westy ninth and sixth, and Mainwaring-Smart tenth and eighth.
The British Supersport class saw SHARK's Ben Wilson finish third on the podium in race one, but he suffered a DNF in the second race. Despite not finishing in race two Wilson remains third in the championship standings.
In the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 class it was a SHARK sixth, seventh, ninth and 11th with Victor Cox, David Johnson, Danny Johnson and Lee Jackson securing points. The overall standings are similar with Cox sixth, Johnson (Danny) eighth and Jackson ninth. Meanwhile in the Pirelli National Superstock 600 class Jordan Simpkin finished just off the podium in fourth place.
The British Motostar M3 class saw a SHARK 2-3 on the podium with Joe Francis and Jordan Weaving, whilst Andy Reid won the 125. Francis leads the championship by 11 points.
Finally, the Ducati 848 Challenge saw Marty Nutt finish both races in third place; Nutt leads the championship by nine points.
The next British Superbike round will be over the August Bank Holiday weekend 24-26 August at Cadwell Park, Lincolnshire.
Alex Lowes:
It's been a hard weekend, probably the hardest of the year – we have stood still since we raced here back in May and the rest have got a bit better and I'm not as competitive as I want to be. I've given everything in these races and really do not have a lot to show for it. Even so I've qualified for the Showdown and I enjoyed that last race and hope that it is a sign of things to come when we get into the actual Showdown.
Ben Wilson:
We all went for the same tyre in that race but I think I maybe worked mine a little bit harder than the others. But third is not a bad result for me considering that last time we were here back in May I was unable to start the first race and then was placed on the back of the grid for race two. I recorded the fastest lap again today and have been told its a new lap record, not bad on a worn tyre! Gearlink Kawasaki have put a fantastic bike under me this weekend and thats been proved with another podium finish here today.

Trying to decide which of this weekend's new releases you want to see? Don't stand around at the box office waiting to decide -- al.com producer Ben Flanagan breaks down this weekend's newest offerings in this week's edition of al.com's Flick Fix.MAN OF STEEL (PG-13)
We have our new Superman movie. Finally. With Batman movie savior Christopher Nolan on board as producer and story consultant, it feels like the most famous comic book hero ever is in good hands. Some have trepidations about director Zack Snyder after visually impressive but thematically thin efforts like "300" and "Sucker Punch," but I think Snyder's as good as any candidate to lead the franchise in a proper cinematic direction. With a dynamite supporting cast featuring Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and others, "Man of Steel" himself Henry Cavill has a great opportunity to break through not only as a mainstream movie star, but as the guy who brought Superman back to the movies following Brandon Routh's earnest but ultimately misfired "Superman Returns" effort in 2006. I'm not what you'd call a big Superman fan either, and I'm jacked to see this one, thanks mostly to the latest trailer (below) and Hans Zimmer's incredible music. SEE IT, folks. Rotten Tomatoes: 59% (Note: One of the blurbs for this literally just says, "Whatever." So yeah, grain of salt and whatnot.)
I actually caught this Thursday night and found it an often hilarious and creative use of the stars' (who play idiotic versions of themselves) time. Hollywood in-jokes get old fans for even ardent film fans, but these guys make it work in totally trivializing the actual importance of what movie stars do for a living and poking fun at their own public images in often disgusting ways. Everyone brings their A-game, but I'd tap Danny McBride or James Franco as the cast's MVP this go-around. Fantastic references to their own own like "Pineapple Express" and misfires like "Green Hornet," and look out for dozens of cameos throughout. Interesting, slightly experimental comedy (and VERY R-rated). SEE IT. Rotten Tomatoes: 84%

With a property tax cap for homeowners across the state - except for New York City homeowners - taking center stage in Albany, members of the borough's delegation pointed to legislation they advanced earlier this year, co-sponsored by state Sen. Andrew Lanza (R-Staten Island) and Assemblyman Michael Cusick (D-Mid-Island).
It would cap the yearly growth of property taxes at either 2 percent or the level of the Consumer Price Index, whichever is less.
In line with that, Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-East Shore/Brooklyn) has created an online petition, at www.nyctaxcap.com, and urged Islanders to sign "to make our voices heard ... so we can let Albany know that a property tax cap exempting New York City is unfair and unacceptable."
Also from Lanza and Ms. Malliotakis is legislation calling for an independent audit of Metropolitan Transportation Authority finances.
"The MTA consistently deals with a deficit of its own creation and consistently comes to the taxpayers with their hands out," said Lanza. "The MTA's finances should be independently examined to seek greater efficiencies and cut expenses, just like the rest of us have had to do in our own households and businesses."
Said Ms. Malliotakis: "By decreasing services while increasing fares and tolls, the MTA has demonstrated that their problems stem not from a lack of revenue, but from mismanagement and inefficiency. ... An independent audit of the MTA's finances would allow the public to see how their money is being spent, while enabling state government to pinpoint the waste and inefficiency that has allowed the agency's spending to spiral out of control."
Also this week, Ms. Malliotakis was named to The Capitol newspaper's "40 Rising Stars Under 40" list, an annual collection of up-and-comers on the statewide political scene. She was also selected by the State Legislative Leaders Foundation to participate in the upcoming "Emerging Leaders Program" at the University of Virginia. One representative is chosen from each state.

MOBILE, Alabama - The future season of South Alabama football wasn't the only thing on display in Saturday's annual Red vs. Blue spring game at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Those who looked closely could find some of the future players as well.
Wide receiver Caleb Alves (Palm Bay Senior High, Melbourne, Fla.), defensive lineman Jacob Chaffin (Spain Park, Birmingham), tight end Caleb Hayman (Gainesville, Ga., High) and quarterback Brett Sheehan (Collins Hill, Ga., High), each one a Class of 2013 signee, were among those attending Saturday's game.
SPRING AWARDS: The Jags' coaching staff announced the winners of the team's various spring awards following the team's final practice.
On defense, Will Thompson (defensive line), E.J. May (cornerback), Maleki Harris (linebacker) and Charles Watson (safety) were tabbed as the top players at their positions. On offense, Steven Foster (offensive line), Julien Valentin (running back), Jake Howton (receiver), Ryan Onkka (tight end) and Brandon Bridge (quarterback) were the players selected as the stand outs at their respective positions.

This was the first year the Garner-Hayfield/Ventura boys golf team competed as a 3A team in Sectional competition and the Cardinals met up with some powerhouse programs, such as Decorah, Clear Lake
and Waverly-Shell Rock. The meet was held on Friday, May 10, in Decorah.
"As a team, we represented ourselves well with a fourth place finish in the eight-team field," said Coach Ken Krause. "Especially being a young squad with no seniors."
G-H/V had consistent scoring, with Mitch Lunning and Jacob Heinemann leading the way with 88s. Braedon Johnston carded a 90 and Matt Schroeders was only one stroke behind him with a 91 for the team total of 359. Cory Boeckman and Ryan Grunwald had 97 and 99 respectively.
"Mitch had a strong first nine with a 40 and Jacob matched him with a 40 on the back nine," said Krause.
Decorah won the meet with a 311, followed by Clear Lake with a 330 and Waverly-Shell Rock with 340.

Readers are still sharing their reactions to "Eclipse," latest movie in "The Twilight Saga." In terms of box-office performance, "Eclipse" has been, as the Hollywood Reporter says, "bloody good," though it is lagging behind its "Twilight" precedecessor, "New Moon."
In terms of viewer reaction? Here's what Madisun
had to say, in a thoughtful breakdown of all the films so far in "The Twilight Saga":
In Twilight I loved Hardwicke's haunting music, emotional depth and sexiness. Twilight's direction made it easy for me to suspend my disbelief and fall into a world of vegetarian vampires and enticing crushes. One major thing I missed was the playful relationship between Edward and Bella and the meadow scene.
In New Moon I appreciated the special effects and the flow of the movie. I thought Bella's excruciating break down was artistically portrayed through her absent gaze and the camera moving around her in circles as the months passed. On thing I missed was the quick ending in Italy. I wish we would have seen more of the travels. Also, although I love Taylor Lautner I think he needs to perfect his dramatic acting, it was not believable to me that he was ever truly feeling the depth that Jacob does in the book. I give him credit for doing his best. I also thought they should have added scenes where Edward hides out and looks and feels monstrously hideous like Meyers describes in the book.
Lastly, Eclipse. I loved the action. It was exciting and cinematically beautiful. I think the beginning needed creepier music or something, I just wasn't scared for Riley. I wanted that horror film, want to close my eyes because I don't know what will be next feel. The newborns and Victoria were not scary enough either. The book describes them much more hideously.
I loved the chase with Victoria and how the Cullens and the wolves prepared for the fight. Alice and Jasper's clip was adorable. Even though Jasper's new Texas draw was distracting, it was still a fairly good portrayal.
Although I liked most of the scenes through the middle of the movie, I felt like I was just getting a series of sneak previews that barely touched on the emotional depth and content that the book delivered. I think the movie (like the predecessors) could have been extended an extra hour to allow depth, surprise and appreciation of such a great story.
Well, readers? More thoughts, reactions, critical appraisals of "Eclipse," as well as the other "Twilight Saga" movies? Here's the place to share them.

Queen Elizabeth Makes Marriage Equality Law Final
In England, it's not over until the Queen says so. And now the battle for marriage equality in England and Wales is over, because the queen has given her royal assent to the marriage equality law finalized by Parliament this week. The royal approval is considered a formality, given the figurehead nature of the queen, but it's important symbolic recognition of the achievement. Same-sex marriages will be officially recognized starting next summer.
In the meantime, it's worth noting how smoothly marriage equality went in England compared to allegedly more sophisticated France. More than 400,000 people turned out in Paris to rally against marriage equality there, in what turned out to be a violent protest. While there has been grousing from the right wing in England, there has been nothing like the naked (or occasionally swim-suited) animosity to marriage equality that has characterized the French response. Of course, France has a more traditional streak, informed by conservative Catholicism, so perhaps the reaction isn't surprising. That doesn't make it any less disappointing, though.
Why is Queen Elizabeth getting any credit for this? Her signing it is a ceremonial formality. She SURE AS HELL didn't endorse it, didn't campaign for it.
Elizabeth has NEVER been supportive of the gay community, period!
@Kamuriie: Even I as possibly the most ardent Anti-Royal is just letting it go today.
We've won.
@ Kamuriie
The royal family, most notably the Queem Mother but princess Di etc etc, have never been anti gay. Many accusations can be thrown at them, but homophobia? They'd be no one left at Buckingham palace.
@Kamuriie: Queen Elizabeth isn't getting "credit" for marriage equality. The article is simply stating that the last formality for passing this law has been passed.
My suggestion? Take a few deep breathes, maybe go for a walk. You seriously need to cool off.
Neither Queen Elizabeth nor Prince Phillip had any choice in this matter. The English Parliament passed the Marriage Equality bill and whether the queen likes it or not she had to give her "assent".
Ironic that America was founded by those escaping oppression by the Church of England, and 200+ years later, England has marriage equality and America continues to operate under the oppression of evangelical christians.
Lord Mountbatten would have been happy to hear the news
@Spike: I think you mean founded by people who were pissed off at our liberal [at the time] attitudes towards other religions and sects. They left because they weren't allowed to persecute, not because they were persecuted.
The queen celebrated by phoning up Helen Mirim to say "Hey baby, put on that red dress I bought for you and get your sweet ass over here for some Royal lovin!
We Few! We happy few!
Ooh..too bad. I guess if Prince William waited, he could have married the boy he really loved instead of Pippa Longstocking
While royal assent is a formality, should the Queen inform the Government that she would have problems with the legislation the government doesn't bring it forward, especially if it is a matter of social rather than fiscal policy. She is a traditionalist when it comes to religion and probably had the more conservative elements of the CofE, which is exempted from this legislation, advising her to refuse assent (see the rather homophobic Bishop of York). That would have happened before the bill was introduced. So, assent was guaranteed once it was introduced by the government, which had to overcome a backbench revolt from its own MPs. This bill carried due to opposition (Labor) support combined with Lib Dem and front bench (government ministers) Conservative support. One other thing, the staff that works for the Queen is overwhelmingly gay. While they may not consider marriage (they often consider themselves celibate while in royal service), they would not be happy if this bill failed due to the withholding of assent. The attitude towards LGBTTQ at the Palace has changed a great deal since Diana, who was seen as the most supportive royal due to her AIDS advocacy. She often shamed Thatcher over the disease, which angered the "Iron Lady" no end. Yet, when she brought it up with the Queen, she was told that the family was "not inclined" to reign Diana in as it but them in a better light. Queen Elizabeth II may not be the swiftest to realize public sentiment, but she does eventually "get it" and hasn't sat on the British throne all these years without gaining some political smarts. Also note that Scotland is not covered by this legislation, nor is Northern Ireland, whose MPs were adamantly against it in Commons.
Why is it that if someone doesn't agree with left wing people, they're branded as 'right wing' like it's some sort of curse? If that were true, then left wing is also to be cursed, as it does PLENTY of crazy stuff that is not for the good of society. Maybe you should just say socially conservative people instead. At the most, antiquated is civil enough to call them.
Not this 'If-I-call-them-right-wing-then-automatically-they-are-evil' crap. There are evil left wing people too, and probably more of them, as the Western world is dominated by lefties now.
Also, @2eo; the French are past the Vichy government. For quite some time now. I don't get the overly histrionic reaction from you either. It was a tiny, albeit loud minority who caused issues in France.
@Redpalacebulleaglesox: What the hell are you smoking ? The royal family's gay servants "consider themselves celibate" ??!!! No they don't. I know a few of them and they frequent gay bars and gay saunas all the time in London. You may be trying to impress the non-British people on this website with your alleged knowledge of the royal family but it is complete lies !
Also, Diana NEVER publicly supported gay people. NEVER. She publicly supported AIDS patients – that is a very different matter and she only did that to get more publicity from the UK media than Charles. Diana was playing with fire – she knew she could irritate the royals by winning more headlines and more media coverage than them so she hired a PR firm to find out which charities/causes etc would get her the most attention. AIDS patients and landmines were just two of the items the PR company suggested. Diana did all of it for HERSELF – not for anyone else. When she died she didn't leave a penny to any of those charities she claimed to support – NOT ONE PENNY ! None of the royals are nice or decent people. People need to wake up to what monsters they are !
@Kamuriie: You are 100% correct. I am glad you commented. It annoys me so much how stupid and blind gay people are when it comes to the evil British royal family !
@Icebloo: speaking of stupid and blind…
I think the Royal family walk a very tight line when it comes to anything that is political or a hot potato as the whole gay marriage subject is, they have to be seen to remain neutral and however much this may infuriate certain sections of our society at any given time they (the Royals and in particular Her Majesty the Queen) cannot be seen to lean in any particular direction and must merely support her democratically elected governments policies and decisions some of which she may or may not agree with.
How Her Majesty the Queen feels about gay marriage is I feel sure more likely to be influenced by a generation model rather than "what's trending", frankly I doubt she gives it much thought and is far too busy with other matters of state and personal matters such as her frail and ageing husband, the birth of the future King or Queen (her Great Grandchild) and much like any other human being lets much of what goes on around her in the modern world pass her by.I shouldn't think she cares either way if gay people marry or not and even as head of the Church Of England,it's just not on her list.
The Royals have an unenviable position, so privileged in many ways yet watched and monitored at every turn..they, like all figureheads are the servants really, servants of the state and the people, their people and you won't find a greater and more dedicated servant of the people than Elizabeth the II who at 87 does a sterling job..I am damn certain there aren't too many 87 year olds that could manage her timetable or do her hours..the standing still alone for hour after hour is at that age a considerable feat.
Gay Marriage like many "bills" before have passed though the commons and the Lords and Her Majesty signs these bills as a mere formality. To expect her to actively campaign on behalf of any section of her people is ludicrous, she is a Monarch not a politician.
I will never understand the British relationship with the monarchy. To bow down to a monarch and seek her approval of democratically enacted laws is medieval. And to call themselves subjects of the monarchy no less.
@jar: Well that's because you live in a republic state and not a Sovereign state..even though technically we have Government which is a democratically elected party..The Monarch acts as a figurehead and does the final signing off of her governments policies..equally whilst we are her subjects we do not feel under a monarchistic thumb..(Not entirely sure Monarchistic is a real word)..We don't spend every waking hour tugging our forelocks and doffing our caps..we have respect (well most do) and as such the Queen is much loved here and throughout the world.
To really understand it, the concept and living with/under a Monarch in a sovereign state you have to live in one I guess..That said a republic is totally alien to many here..you have new leaders what every 10 to 12 years provided they win the election..The queen has reigned for well over 60 years, she is a constant in an ever changing political landscape..

Inky ruby. Deeply pitched aromas of black and blue fruits, smoky minerals, licorice and roasted coffee, with a floral quality adding lift. Broad, palate-coating blackberry and bitter cherry flavors gain flesh and sweetness with air. At once rich and lively, finishing with strong back-end thrust and supple tannins that add shape.

The 2010 season brought with it a succession of disappointing events. Fortunately for the 49ers, they landed their number one choice to fill the head coaching vacancy when they hired Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Harbaugh has undoubtedly began evaluating the talent he has on the roster going into next year, so I thought it would be an excellent time to compose this list. This is a list ranking the 22 starters from the 2010 season, going into the 2011 season.
This list is not designed to investigate who is staying and who is going, or should be in the starting lineup next season. It is also not an evaluation of their performance in 2010, but rather a look at where they stack up heading into next season.
I would also like to add that if multiple players started at a given position --due to injury or otherwise-- the player who received the majority of starts will appear on this list.
While this list would likely lead up to the team's MVP, I thought it would be fitting to work our way down, as the 49ers finished the season 6-10.

By Chelle Delaney: Quay County Sun
A report from a construction engineer indicates that the century-old Sands-Dorsey building is "a very real safety hazard in its current condition."
However, the report recommends that "the main facade and structural perimeter walls be stabilized and preserved."
Sections of the report, prepared by Sonya Cooper, a construction engineer and head of the Engineering Technology & Surveying Department of New Mexico State University, were read Thursday at the City Commission meeting by City Manager John Sutherland.
Sutherland also said the building's owner, Bob Hengstenberg, had been cited by the city's code enforcement officer.
Sutherland said that Hengstenberg had 10 days to start working on the building and had to complete the work with 90 days, according to the letter from the city.
The Federal Revival Style building burned in a June 8 fire that "without immediate attention, this impressive edifice faces imminent collapse over time," said Cooper's report.
Cooper's report, which included contributions from Jean Fulton of the Cornerstones Community Partnerships, was funded by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The report outlines a series of 12 steps that can be taken to stabilize and make the building safe. One of the first steps recommended is to cover all the windows with plywood and those on the ground floor affected by the fire appear to have been covered.
"The Sands-Dorsey is historically significant, and is one of Tucumcari's architectural gems," the report states. "The stabilization and preservation of the exterior walls including the front facade are the recommended courses of action. If, however, a lack of community resolve and/or a scarcity of resources undermines or prevents an emergency stabilization and eventual preservation effort, the building must be condemned and razed by qualified professionals. A feasibility study conducted by a qualified historic architect and structural engineer could compare … costs associated with each alternative. Regardless, a course of 'No Action' is not an option."
In the other business before the commission:
• A 5:15 p.m. Tuesday work session was scheduled to discuss: a proposal to transfer property, near the new landfill on Highway 54, for a planned feedlot; the pros and cons of annexation of property where the new landfill is currently under construction; and a limit on certain expenditures. The work session will be at City Hall in the commissioner's chambers.
• Charlie Sandoval, head of the city's water department, discussed water pressure problems regarding RAD, the Rural Area Development water users coop, that serves rural residents east of Tucumcari.
"We still don't have any answers," Sandoval said. "No one deserves that."
However, Sandoval said the pressure issues do not appear on this the city's side of the water delivery.
Sandoval also said that his department and the city would continue to assist RAD in whatever way they could to solve the problem.

By Sean Greene 4:30pm, September 13, 2013Citing a violation of University and team policies, Delaware has suspended sophomore linebacker Jeff Williams for one month, beginning with Saturday's game at Navy.
Williams has accounted for 10 tackles (one for loss) with two fumble recoveries in Delaware's season-opening wins over Jacksonville and Delaware State.
While not stating the reason for the suspension in a release from the school, Delaware head coach Dave Brock was quoted as saying: "The student-athletes who are part of the University of Delaware football program will be held to a high standard. When these standards are not met, there will be consequences and our players will be held accountable."
Williams' suspension will span four games: Navy, Wagner, James Madison, and Maine.
In the statement Williams said: "I understand that the choices I make affect more than just myself and I want to apologize to my teammates, my coaches, my family, the University, and the Blue Hen fans. I accept the consequences and I will take this time to work on making choices in the future that will benefit people around me."

WEST DEPTFORD TWP. — West Deptford High School student Josh Mazza may be able to tell many adults a thing or two about how the New Jersey and U.S. governments work.
Mazza impressed members of American Legion Post 100 in the township's Colonial Manor section such that they chose to sponsor his trip to the Legion's Jersey Boys' State event.
The week-long exercises held each year beginning on Fathers Day weekend typically include nearly 900 high school junior boys from all over New Jersey. Legion posts choose youngsters from high schools in their areas, based partly on high grades and potential.
The boys attend seminars and listen to guest speaks who this year included Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Robert Menendez. Among other activities, they form a government for a fictional 51st state, along with the local governments beneath it.
The students elect officials from the governor down from among themselves.
Mazza, a baritone player for the high school band, also rehearsed with fellow musicians each day to prepare for two concerts wrapping up the event.
The Boys' State aims to instill an interest in and a dedication to statesmanship, the workings of American democracy and the mechanisms of both state and federal government.
