Needing a play to keep the chains moving and their lead intact against Catholic Memorial at Gillette Stadium, Crowley made the play of the game. Facing third and 8 near midfield, Crowley was flushed out of the pocket after side-stepping a late-blitzing CM linebacker. With CMs Owen McGowan in hot pursuit, Crowley sprinted to the sideline and threaded a perfect cross-body throw to Jackson Delaney, who had broken back to the middle of the field after running an out route to the first-down sticks.

That was unreal, said Prep offensive guard Cooper Smith.

Said St. Pierre: I told him he aint fast, he knows. But hes a winner. That was the play of the game, in my opinion, keeping that drive alive. Thats just moxie. You cant teach that. Thats why hes a three-year starter for us.

Three plays after that 16-yard completion, Crowley lobbed a pass up the left seam, where Matt Duchemin got inside leverage on his defender and then juggled in the ball over the top of him for a 32-yard score. That made it a 21-7 fourth-quarter lead for St. Johns Prep, which won its second straight Division 1 title.

Crowley finished with 145 yards on 7-of-12 passing. That included a pretty throw to set up the Eagles second touchdown and 14-0 lead in the first, a simple smash concept that opened the deep left sideline for Duchemin, who was pushed out at the 1.

There were plenty of other factors that led to Preps win:

Commitment to power John DiBiaso-coached teams, going back to his quarter-century run at Everett, are legendary for their application of Double Wing schemes when in need of a jolt. The formations hallmark foot-to-foot line splits virtually eliminate blitzing and make it difficult to identify the right ballcarrier.

St. Johns Prep used some of those splits throughout the game, from more traditional formations, commanding the point of attack seemingly with brute force. That included the games first score, a 14-yard James Guy zone toss in which he smartly cut back after seeing a backside linebacker over-pursue, opening a canyon to run through.

Stifling pass defense Between sophomore Matt Mitchell and freshman Joenel Aguero, Preps secondary is going to be a problem for the next few years. Duchemin, the senior, said the secondarys point of emphasis was to keep CM receivers on their outside hip all night, and two plays in particular helped key the win.

In the first half, Duchemin came up with the Eagles first interception by making a great read. Backpedaling before the snap and covering CMs outside receiver, Duchemin broke toward the hash marks when he saw CMs Barrett Pratt overthrow a slot receiver, and slid for a diving interception.

Then in the fourth, with CM driving in Eagles territory on fourth and 6, linebacker Tripp Clark saw McGowan settle in a spot just beyond the first-down marker, and wisely settled in front of him, dropping the would-be pick but forcing a turnover on downs regardless.

We put in a new game plan and as DBs, weve got to play with swagger, so we just went out there and balled out, Duchemin said.

Mega morale It truly says something about St. Pierres skills as a motivator that, as overseer of a perennial top-five program, he could get the defending Division 1 state champs to fiercely buy into a David-vs.-Goliath mentality.

And we do mean fierce. As players soaked in their victory on the Gillette turf, the no-respect card was volleyballed around with gusto. Smith talked about wanting to change the way the state thinks about us. Crowley talked about embracing that we were the underdogs.

Their head coach was even more emphatic.

We had a huge chip on our shoulder all year, St. Pierre said. We were the returning state title winners, and everyones talking about Central Catholic, Springfield Central, and CM. Like yeah, St. Johns Prep is top five, but nobody really talked like we were in title contention. That [made the kids mad], to be quite honest. I wasnt too happy about it either.

Hes not wrong. If St. Pierre had been within earshot of the Mansfield fans in Friday nights Division 2 title game, he would have heard a smattering of We want CM! chants from the student section as the seconds counted down on the Hornets rout of Lincoln-Sudbury.

A few other observations from Saturdays Super Bowl slate . . .

As expected, Springfield Central rolled to a second straight title in Division 3. What started with a throttling of Everett at Memorial Stadium ended with a dominant postseason run in which the Golden Eagles outscored the opposition, 181-53, and saw workhorse tailback Marcus Crawford average nearly 9 yards a carry throughout the playoffs, with 11 touchdowns.

The Golden Eagles arent going away any time soon.

Crawford, the years biggest breakout candidate, will be back. So is 6-foot-5-inch receiver Joe Griffin and defensive lineman Terry Lockett, a monolith in the middle who counts Syracuse and Michigan among his current suitors. Centrals line averaged more than 270 pounds across, and its conceivable it will be even bigger in 2020.

Coach Valdamar Brower and his any time, anywhere approach to scheduling has the Eagles on everyones radar following the Everett rout by taking CM and Central Catholic to the wire. And with an enrollment of more than 2,000 students, theyll all but certainly be placed in Division 1 when the next realignment comes.

But that is a year away. So for now, the stalwarts of an otherwise quite competitive Division 3 landscape in Eastern Mass must groan, and sit back and enjoy watching freshman quarterback sensation William Pop Watson.

Watson was already hauling in FBS offers before he entered high school, and he backed up the hype in his very first game, throwing for more than 300 yards in that win over Everett. Saturday, he only completed six passes, but four of them went for touchdowns totaling 187 yards.

When was the last time a quarterback this good got this much praise early? The sky is the limit for Watson, whose father Bill Watson is now Centrals defensive coordinator after a successful run as head coach at Springfield Putnam.

He was a freshman, then we played Everett and then he grew up really fast, Brower said of Watson. Hes been carrying himself like a senior since the seventh grade.

With the MIAA at eight divisions for its statewide tournament, and only a limited amount of time to get in all the games at Gillette Stadium over two days, games must stay on time and they must be fast.

The byproduct of this was the shortening of the quarters from 12 to 10 minutes. The 12s were in play during the regular season and all games leading to Gillette. Outside of several injury delays, games mostly went quick, as there were no overtimes.

When you add it up, as Leicester coach Tim Griffiths noted after his Wolverines lost to Abington in the Division 7 final, its a significant amount of lost time to deal with.

Ten-minute quarters, thats eight less minutes. Thats a big difference from what were used to, he said. Regardless, [Abington] made plays and we didnt.

But the MIAA Football Committee, following national federation rules, is committed to 12-minute quarters going forward, and with the likelihood that there will be five divisions starting in 2021, it will be a moot point.

World Architecture Festival 2019: Day Two winners announced - Archinect

I suppose I shouldve known better. But one morning, back in July, my daughter and I walked the short walk to our old house in rural Ireland. I was quietly hoping she may have been a little intrigued about our destination.

Of course my old stomping ground was always going to be a bit of a step down from London, where weve just done the tourist things and spent the best part of a day wandering around transfixed at the Harry Potter wonder world at Watford. It hardly needed to be said that the village of Finea in Co Westmeath falls a little short compared to the majesty of Tower Bridge.

We are here in farming country with only scant signs of human activity. There is the unmistakable enduring smell of slurry being spread somewhere. Ive been surprised to see the honeysuckle with its distinct scent, still there, still thriving on the side of the road, near Fagans gate. There are also elderberry, blackthorn, and ash and sycamore saplings, but regular hedge slashings have put paid to their upward trajectories. The only traffic, large lorries from Plunketts quarry, have us standing well back in the ditch as they trundle past weighed down with their loads of ready-mix concrete, sand and blocks.

I wasnt sure what to expect. The smell of a turf fire? A discarded soccer ball or frisbee in the front yard? Maybe a neat stack of split firewood. Perhaps even an inquisitive collie or a cat stretched out on a windowsill basking in the sunshine. Or, maybe I was simply chasing ghosts. Id find out soon enough.

On we go, past Mastersons and Dermodys. I glance up at Maol hill where my brothers beasts are dotted like tiny Lego pieces in the top field, just below the remnant of the hazel copse. Wed head up there the following day. Around the bend and we are almost there, on the home straight. This section of road used to be the final hundred yards or so of our daily mile-long straggle home from school. Sometimes wed summon enough energy to sprint the last 20 yards or so anxious to get inside and retrieve our dinner from the bottom drawer of the range. For a few moments, I imagine I could almost be going home, one more time, only, of course, Im not.

Originally a thatched cottage, the upper floor was added at a later stage, about a 100 years ago, which housed our family of 12. Its windowless grey gable is more weathered, more mundane than I remember. Inside, the three bedrooms upstairsand the 14-step stairway linking them to the downstairs kitchen and parlour. Those bedrooms with their rattling sash windows and wafer-thin glass were nigh impossible to heat. Jackdaws casually commandeered the two inactive chimneys at either end of the roof every spring. Keeping the kitchen warm in winter was a perennial challenge for our old Stanley No 8 that my mother was forever force-feeding with turf and wood. But for all that, it was our homefor 30 years and I knew no different, and Im still not sure Id ever want to change any of it.

For years, the old man, a cautious man, had talked and talked about building a bungalow - for so long it seemed that wed simply shrugged and dismissed his talk as mere wishful thinking. It became our running joke and we were happy to indulge his flight of fancy. But his dream finally became a reality in his final few decades, long after most of us had gone, after he reluctantly sold a few acres, and they moved the few hundred metres to where they had a view of the spire of the church in Granard. They too had joined the world of ubiquitous modern-day bungalow dwellers, scourge or blight, some would argue, of contemporary Irish landscape. But it was their very own bungalow with its double-glazed windows, central heating and pebble-dashed exterior walls and clever-shaped chimney crowns that thwarted even the most determined jackdaw. It was a house that could hold its own with any other dwelling in the locality and our parents were inordinately proud.

As we drew closer that morning, it was obvious no one was at home. Id been told the house was up for sale. The curtains were not drawn. There was no sign of a car or even a bicycle, and the chimney was giving off no smoke. But at least the ancient fuchsia on the embankment was still going strong. Down the roughly quarried well-worn stone steps, we cantered, boldly, as if we still had some claim on this place and into the front yard that was now covered with crushed white rock like the stuff that decorates some of the plots in the local graveyard. Everywhere was spick and span. The interior had been totally transformed. Schmick, to use an Australian adjective, is the description that came to my mind. Devoid of any clutter and now just a single open plan space, it seemed inconceivable that this was the same space where wed been reared cheek by jowl.

Even the outhouse had been refitted with a shiny new slate roof, and a new door, painted a blood red. This shed, which also doubled as the old mans workshop, used to be a repository for all manner of things; fishing rods, bicycles and in winters, an ideal place to hang pheasants and ducks bagged on Sunday afternoons during the shooting season. The ancient looking wheelbarrow sprouting clumps of red geraniums looked contrived, incongruous. And perhaps because of all these faux additions, the place had taken on the unmistakable feel of a weekender or a bolthole that was devoid of any emotion or character.

Year after year, in all kinds of weather, and especially when the back field was too soggy, my brothers and I seized every available opportunity to kick a ball around in this yard, honing what we imagined were our putative soccer skills, as if we might be the next Frank Stapleton or Kenny Dalglish; while our mother fretted that at any given moment an errant ball could well come smashing through the kitchen window. Occasionally, we came close, but the modest size of the window meant it always escaped unscathed.

The sense of quiet that morning was unnerving. Ghosts of my crowded childhood were barely below the surface. We should go now, I had told my daughter, and I was surprised by my impatience. There is nothing to see here, its changed too much, I added, as if to explain my need to get going. She shrugged, indifferent, offering no protest and we turned and headed towards the stone steps, and before I knew it, we were away back down the road, where the superior pebble-dashed bungalow and its well-tended lawn, and its view of the church spire, and our hire car awaited.

Atlanta-based Acuity Brands, Inc. recently announced its partnership with CIRCADIAN ZircLight, Inc., Stoneham, Mass. The business partnership includes a licensing of CIRCADIAN ZircLight intellectual property and a collaboration intended to accelerate commercialization within North America of CIRCADIANs Zirc-branded technology through Acuity Brands portfolio of indoor luminaires.

Over the past five years, CIRCADIAN ZircLight has created evidence-based specifications for workplace lighting and developed LED chips, light engines, control systems, and luminaires to address the need for circadian lighting.

Circadian lighting supports the natural circadian rhythms of human beings, Earlywine adds. Our bodies are tuned to respond to the key circadian signal in natural light, which is blue-rich during the day and depleted of blue after sunset. He adds that CIRCADIAN ZircLights technology address this need in current lighting technology, which was largely designed without circadian considerations in mind.

Extensive research over the past fifteen years has shown that the spectrum, intensity, and timing of light exposure can impact human health and well-being by either maintaining or disrupting circadian rhythms, explains Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, CEO of CIRCADIAN ZircLight. For example, not having enough daytime exposure to blue-rich light may impact ones alertness and productivity. On the other hand, exposure to blue-rich light at night, whether through electronics (TV, mobile phones) or through lighting, can disrupt melatonin production and impact ones sleep quality.

This partnership reinforces both companies commitment to lighting designed for human productivity, health, and alertness.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) The Annual Governors Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony returns this Monday, but will be held in a different location.

The public is invited to the Christmas event, which will be at 5:30 p.m., Monday, Dec. 9.

The grand Christmas tree is usually lit at the State Capitol, but due to construction at the capitol, this years event will be held at the Oklahoma History Center, according to an Oklahoma Governors Office news release.

Students from 25 public schools across Oklahoma will design ornaments and decorate indoor, four-foot-tall Christmas trees with a theme of their choice prior to the lighting ceremony. Those trees will be displayed inside the History Center after the 5:30 p.m. public tree lighting.

Sarah and I look forward to celebrating the Christmas season with Oklahoma students and families on Monday, Governor Kevin Stitt said. This is an unique opportunity for us to come together as a state and commemorate a holiday season that promotes hope and peace for all.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister said the tree lighting is her favorite event of the year.

It is always a pleasure to see the creativity and excitement of our students and teachers, and the lighting of the tree is an excellent reminder of the joys of the season and the importance of family and community, Hofmeister said.

Atherton's Dec. 5 "tree lighting" ceremony was unique not only because the town hadn't hosted such an event before, but also because there was no tree to light up. But that didn't stop about 40 residents from gathering in Holbrook-Palmer Park for the town's holiday celebration.

In lieu of an actual tree, town officials illuminated the park's water tower after opening remarks from Mayor Bill Widmer and a countdown.

Students in the Menlo-Atherton High School choir, led by Director Patrick Maier, performed seasonal songs such as "Silent Night" and "Jingle Bells."

Following the ceremony, people headed to the park's indoor Pavilion for hot chocolate, cookies, holiday arts and crafts projects and photos with Santa Claus.

The Atherton Library used a 3D printer to create ornaments in the shapes of trees, snowflakes and other items, all made out of cornstarch. The library also handed out free books.

Children also decorated wooden ornaments and adorned gingerbread houses with frosting and sprinkles.

The circadian rhythm our biological internal clock that regulates the sleep-wake cycleand resets every 24 hours plays a major role in health. How exactly our bodies are able to synchronize with day-night cycles has been a matter of debate. Now, a new study discovered that human eyes have three types of specialized cells that sense light with important applications in preventing circadian rhythm disruptions.

Researchers at the Salk Institute developed a new method that can keep retina samples healthy and functional well after a donor passed away. Such samples were placed on an electrode grid that allowed the researchers to study how the retina reacted to light.

Several colors of light were tested, which showed that a small group of cells in the retina known as intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) started firing about 30 seconds after they interacted with a pulse of light. After the light was turned off, the cells took several seconds to stop firing.

The cells were the most sensitive to blue light, which is the type of light used in LCD screens employed by most smartphones and laptops. Blue light alsoinhibits the production of melatonin, keeping us awake and messing with our natural sleep cycles.

Follow-up experiments revealed that there are, in fact, three types of ipRGCs.

These cells may explain some very peculiar findings reported by other studies. For instance, blind people are able to align their sleep-wake cycles and circadian rhythms to the day-night cycle despite not being able to see. The new study may explain how they were able to sense light despite their visual impairment.

We have become mostly an indoor species, and we are removed from the natural cycle of daylight during the day and near-complete darkness at night, said Satchidananda Panda, senior author of the study and a professor at the Salk Institute.

Understanding how ipRGCs respond to the quality, quantity, duration, and sequence of light will help us design better lighting for neonatal ICUs, ICUs, childcare centers, schools, factories, offices, hospitals, retirement homes and even the space station, he added.

Although ipRGCs are responsible for sending light signals to the brain, they also work closely with rods and cones. The researchers believe that the ipRGCs may combine their light sensitivity with the light detected by purely visual cells to enhance brightness and add contrast.

This adds another dimension to designing better televisions, computer monitors and smartphone screens in which changing the proportion of blue light can trick the brain into seeing an image as bright or dim, says Panda.

In the future, the researchers plan on conducting more experiments on ipRGCs under different conditions of light color, intensity, and duration. The authors are also interested in how the cells will react to sequences of light (blue that turns into orange or vice-versa, for instance).

By understanding how each specialized light cells function in the eye, the researchers claim that is possible to access an entirely new spectrum of applications. For example, the insights could be used to design indoor lights that offer better day-night synchronization or which why not improve our moods.

Its also going to open a number of avenues to try new drugs or work on particular diseases that are specific to humans, says Ludovic Mure, a postdoctoral researcher in the Panda lab and first author of the new study.

The findings were reported in the journal Science.

Over the past five years, CIRCADIAN ZircLight has created evidence-based specifications for workplace lighting and developed LED chips, light engines, control systems, and luminaires to address the need for circadian lighting.

Circadian lighting supports the natural circadian rhythms of human beings, Earlywine adds. Our bodies are tuned to respond to the key circadian signal in natural light, which is blue-rich during the day and depleted of blue after sunset. He adds that CIRCADIAN ZircLights technology address this need in current lighting technology, which was largely designed without circadian considerations in mind.

Extensive research over the past fifteen years has shown that the spectrum, intensity, and timing of light exposure can impact human health and well-being by either maintaining or disrupting circadian rhythms, explains Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, CEO of CIRCADIAN ZircLight. For example, not having enough daytime exposure to blue-rich light may impact ones alertness and productivity. On the other hand, exposure to blue-rich light at night, whether through electronics (TV, mobile phones) or through lighting, can disrupt melatonin production and impact ones sleep quality.

This partnership reinforces both companies commitment to lighting designed for human productivity, health, and alertness.
