Pritchett continued to lead the running game with 123 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, while Peyton Hobson had three carries for 49 yards and a touchdown. Dante Torres (1-14), Dickenson (3-10), and Jakob Culbertson (2-4) also carried the ball. |
Centerville opened the season ranked 12th in the Indiana Football Coaches Association Class 2A State poll – a monumental difference from four seasons ago, when Benedict and Pritchett were just freshman. |
Benedict started at quarterback that year, as the Bulldogs finished the regular season winless, going 1-10 overall with their only win coming in the sectional opener against Switzerland County, which went 0-10 that year. |
His sophomore year, the Bulldogs’ first under Padgett, they went 3-7, and last year, improved to 7-3. |
“I think last year was a great learning experience for our players,” Padgett said. “It’s a great way to send off that great senior class, and I think it’s something that got us turned in the right direction, and really put us in some big games where we had to come through and play in some tight games. |
That senior class a year ago included Reese VanDevender, who scored a team-best 12 rushing touchdowns and was second to Pritchett with 817 yards on the ground. |
Kody Witham, an Indiana All-Star, was third on the team with 288 yards. |
So Pritchett will need new faces to help carry the load, and that’s where Benedict comes in. |
“He did run the ball more than he threw, and that kind of opened our eyes that he should obviously be a running back – especially after losing Kody and Reese,” Pritchett said. |
Torres, VanWinkle, Hobson, Jared Rasner, Alfredo Calderon, Clete Schilling, Jostyn Stidwell, Culbertson, Austin Wimer and Dalton Stevens are also seniors on the Bulldogs roster. After what they’ve been through, they’re primed for a big senior year. |
The nine TEC teams play at Ball State University this weekend, and Centerville's got the primetime game, 7 p.m. Saturday night against last year's TEC champion Class A No. 10 Hagerstown. |
With Benedict at running back -- with the ability to throw the ball, catch the ball, and run the ball -- the Bulldogs open the possibility of all sorts of trick plays. |
“Maybe," Pritchett says with a smile. "We’ll just see how it goes. Coach isn’t all about trick plays, we’re just all about smashmouth football, so I think we’ll probably just stick to that. |
“Our expectations are obviously high. Our season record has gone up every year. We’re looking to keep it up, and it just shows the younger guys what we’re all about." |
iOS 5.1 beta code contains references to two processors. |
Apple is working on an enhanced A5 processor and a completely new A6 processor for the upcoming iPad 3, according to information gleaned by 9to5Mac. |
There's been a log of speculation in the media about whether Apple is revamping the A5 processor for the iPad 3 (rumor has it that it will be called the A5X) or working on a completely updated piece of silicon (rumored to be the called the A6). There's even been an alleged leaked photo of the A5X. |
Well, buried in the iOS 5.1 beta code are references to two new processors, the S5L8945X and the S5L8950X. The original A4 chip in the iPad was called the S5L8930X, while the A5 chip in the iPad 2 was called S5L8940X. This would seem to suggest that the S5L8945X is an updated A5 processor and that the S5L8950X is the A... |
Apple developed both chips simultaneously to see which would better fit the new iPad. |
Apple will sell a cheaper iPad with the A5X chip, while the higher-end iPad 3 has the A6. |
Personally, I don't believe that Apple is working on either a cheaper iPad 3 or an 8-inch version. I'm more inclined to believe that this is either legacy code from a development model or a processor for another device. |
TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte, Philippines — Mayor Alfred Romualdez would rather stay mum for apparently being on the receiving end of criticism for the government’s lackluster approach to the “Yolanda” tragedy but his maternal cousin, Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr., stood up for the executive and had put the blame on the nationa... |
“There are a lot of people (affected) for days who were not able to eat much less have water to drink and they are even checking people on the list,” Marcos told the Philippine Daily Inquirer as he tried to illustrate how the national government has been undertaking its relief efforts. |
Marcos said the problem has been made complicated by the confiscation being done by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). |
“Everyone is offering their boats and assets to ferry it for free, but the problem is the DSWD has confiscated the relief,” he said. |
He cited the case of goods the Marcos and Romualdez families had tried to deliver to Tacloban and outlying towns, which ended up confiscated by the DSWD for still unclear reasons. |
Marcos said he tried to understand the act as part of government efforts to streamline the distribution of assistance but the people could not understand as they starved and felt thirsty. |
“That’s ok, but the thing is they won’t release them,” he said. |
Marcos said it appeared the national government did not trust local leaders too. |
“They should trust their officials because not only they are victims. Not only they are victims but they are also the first responder in their village,” Marcos said. |
Marcos said the devastation has been so great “that it’s going to take years before the Leyte folks will be able to get back on their feet,” and the cooperation of everyone would be needed to rebuild the province. |
Romualdez earlier expressed his displeasure with the national government, but would rather not say it on record. |
But he said there were many “lessons learned” and that it has become important for the government and residents of Tacloban to take a long term approach to prevent another catastrophe from happening. |
“I think they have to study and review the procedure,” Romualdez said, referring to the government measures adopted prior to and after the calamity. |
Starting with weather forecast capability, Romualdez said it was important to know the circumstances that could create a storm. |
“The weather was beautiful before that (Yolanda) came in. So you ask yourself what causes some typhoons to form because out of nowhere this came in,” he said. |
He said the typhoon, initially forecast to have wind speed of 218-280 kilometers per hour, actually went beyond 300 kph during the onslaught. |
He even likened the storm wind to that produced by a jet engine. |
“So I think this is something to be looked up and studied because this might affect our building code,” he said. |
He said for instance, that the school buildings code adopted nationwide prescribed that buildings withstand a 160-kph wind, but this would mean it could not withstand winds of more than 200 kph. |
“Look at Batanes, it is build to withstand and save lives,” said Romualdez. |
He, however, acknowledged no amount of preparedness could prevent the destruction brought by Yolanda (international name Haiyan). |
Romualdez also said the city government had prepared Tacloban to its best, and days before Yolanda, residents were already told to evacuate. |
He said he and other officials should not be faulted. |
“We have a handbook in disaster preparedness,” he said. |
“It is important for our future generation to know how to respond to a crisis like this. And it should be a template that nobody can change. It should be followed to the letter,” he said. |
Jim Cornette has unloaded on Sami Callihan, after the IMPACT! Wrestling star threw a chair at wrestling legend Kevin Sullivan during a Rockstar Pro event in Ohio. |
Cornette said how he refused to address Callihan on Twitter, as he did not want to give him the exposure. |
Cornette continued, saying how in his many years in the business, he has never met someone who makes as many mistakes as Callihan. |
"The only thing [Callihan] is doing right is making it a part of his gimmick." |
The attack by Callihan left 68-year-old Sullivan with a nasty welt on his head. |
Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson brought her mom, actress Melanie Griffith, as her date to the Oscars — but that date got real tense, real fast. |
A red carpet interview with ABC’s Lara Spencer started off uncomfortable — watch Johnson wince as Spencer calls her Griffith’s “little girl” — and quickly escalated into an excruciatingly awkward ordeal. Of course, Spencer brings up Fifty Shades, and the fact that basically everyone has seen it. Then she asks Griffith ... |
Watch above as Johnson grows increasingly exasperated with her mother in the ultimate “Moooooommmmm!” moment. |

In a post-Jayalalithaa Tamil Nadu, superstar Rajinikanth’s entry to politics is ideally timed. But can he pull off more than just a superhit movie? |
Naan arasiyal-kku vandhal, yen vazhi, thani vazhi-aa irukkum,” (“If I join politics, my path will be a unique path”) –– this is Rajinikanth, speaking in 2012 at the launch of the book Chidambaram: Oru Paarvai. |
The Superstar was of course referencing his punchline from his 1999 monster hit Padayappa. The path he has chosen since announcing his decision to join politics on the last day of 2017 has been pragmatic rather than unique. The actor’s as yet unnamed political party will contest all 234 seats in the Tamil Nadu election... |
As a first step, Rajinikanth launched the Rajini Makkal Mandram (Rajini People’s Foundation), a website and Android only app (not available for the relatively privileged iOS users), designed as membership drive gateways for the party. Members of Rajinikanth fan clubs across Tamil Nadu are currently visiting each of the... |
The idea that Thalaivar wants to gather only good people around him is sound, but that is easier said than done in the morass that is politics. It is expected that those fresh to politics will be encouraged than those with previous political experience wanting to climb on the Rajinikanth bandwagon. What is not immediat... |
The 67-year-old Shivaji Rao Gaekwad could not have chosen a more opportune time to enter the political arena. After the unexpected death of chief minister J. Jayalalithaa in 2016, matters within the ruling AIADMK party have been fractious with O. Paneerselvam and K. Palaniswami jostling for power before settling on an ... |
Rajinikanth’s contemporary, friend and frequent co-star Kamal Haasan has also announced his intent to join politics and will announce details on February 21. Upon asked whether they would join hands, both stars hedged with a ‘time will tell’ response. |
The INC-AIADMK alliance duly lost. Much later, speaking after Jayalalithaa’s death, a contrite Rajinikanth said, “I was one of the main reasons why she lost the elections.” He praised her as a role model and lauded her for carrying on the legacy of her mentor MG Ramachandran who took her party from strength to strength... |
Ever since he flung open the gates in his introductory scene in his debut, Apoorva Raagangal (1975), Rajinikanth has been a disruptor. Dishevelled and sporting a stubble, Rajinikanth strides forward. The frame freezes and the text ‘Shruti Bedam’ (A Variation of Pitch) appears. The film’s director, the late legend K. Ba... |
Fair skinned heroes like MGR, Sivaji Ganesan and Sivakumar dominated Tamil cinema at the time of Rajinikanth’s debut. The increasingly popular Kamal Haasan was also fair complexioned. It took a visionary filmmaker like Balachander to go against the grain and cast the dark skinned Rajinikanth, albeit in a negative role.... |
Following Apoorva Raagangal, Rajinikanth was cast in a series of negative roles in films like Katha Sangama, Anthuleni Katha, Moondru Mudichu, Baalu Jenu, Avargal and 16 Vayathinile. What shone through was the actor’s sense of style and mannerisms, something that he had deployed to great effect in his years as a bus co... |
By now Rajinikanth was pulling multiple shifts and working around the clock. Though he was popular, his superstardom was carefully constructed. Upon the advice of Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth gradually moved to solo hero movies and away from multi-starrers. The image building exercise began with Bairavi (1978). The film’s... |
The actor was also cast in roles that endeared him to family audiences in films like Mullum Malarum and Aarilirundhu Arubathu Varai. SP Muthuraman, who directed Rajinikanth in 25 films, describes Murattukkalai (1980) as a turning point in the actor’s career. Muthuraman, the writer Panju Arunachalam and AVM Studio’s M. ... |
Rajinikanth’s immense popularity soon grew into a cult and spawned more than 50,000 fan clubs. But the actor, always simple, continued to remain respectful to his co-workers irrespective of their level of importance on the project. In real life he was modest and self-deprecating and unlike many of his contemporaries re... |
Of Rajinikanth’s later films, Baashha (1995) is a watershed. For half of the film he plays a mild mannered auto-driver. He explodes only at the interval point, a calculated risk taken by directed by Suresh Krissna. Baashha is like Sholay, a phenomenon that defies analysis. Rajinikanth’s punchline from the film ‘Naan or... |
He was even forgiven Krissna’s Baba (2002) that tanked at the box office. In the film, his well-wishers urge him to solve the political crisis in the state and become the chief minister, but he demurs, handing the job instead to an honest politician. His character states that a direct entry into politics is not require... |
A decade and a half on from Baba, Rajinikanth’s political story is indeed continuing, complete with the Baba mudra. What it translates to in realpolitik remains to be seen. |
Rajinikanth has been teasing his fans with politics onscreen for a long time. In 1982’s Thanikkattu Raja for example, he plays a people’s man and the saviour of the poor. In one of the film’s song sequences he sings, “I am not Puratchi Thalaivar, I am not Dr Kalaignar, I am an ordinary man and your friend,” Puratchi Th... |
In 1990’s Athisaya Piravi, Rajinikanth plays Kaalai, a man who dies too early due to a clerical error made by Yama’s assistant Chitragupta. When Kaalai asks to be sent back to earth, Chitragupta’s assistant Vichitragupta (played by the late Cho Ramaswamy, political commentator and Rajinikanth’s great friend) says that ... |
In Uzhaippali (1993) his character is named Thamizharasan (King of Tamil Nadu). |
In Muthu (1995), there is a not so subtle sequence where Rajinikanth is persuaded to get on a stage – it seems a heavy-handed shorthand for the political stage – and in the Kuluvalile song there is a verse that asks which party he would join. |
In Arunachalam (1997), Rajinikanth’s character floats a political party and there is a song with the lyrics “A lion has begun a journey”. In the ‘Devuda devuda’ song in Chandramukhi (2005), Rajinikanth’s character asks the almighty to bless his fans and addresses the working classes (including janitors, sewage cleaners... |
But since the summer, he has worked to keep the focus on Clinton’s email scandal by picking apart the technology used by her staff, the FBI’s recommendation not to press charges, the Justice Department’s decision to grant immunity to some of her staffers and the classifications and redactions in her investigative file. |
Through it all, Gowdy has been the public face of Republicans accusing those government agencies of showing Clinton favoritism. |
