There's just no stopping USC by California as the Trojans roll, 45-24 

In retrospect, the most surprising part of USC’s first offensive play in a 45-24 win over California on Thursday evening, a 61-yard Ronald Jones II run, was that the Golden Bears stopped him at all.

Jones had scythed inside left tackle Chad Wheeler, breezed past a linebacker grasping at air and flummoxed two defensive backs so thoroughly that they tripped over each other. By the time he ripped a tackler off his back and hightailed down the sideline, a final straggler could just manage to flush him out of bounds which, on Thursday, could almost count as a defensive highlight for the Bears.

The victory was USC’s fourth in a row. After an ignominious start, USC (5-3, 4-2) has reasserted itself as a factor in the Pac-12 South Division race, though it remains behind Utah and Colorado.

USC did what it was supposed to with the nation’s third-worst rushing defense. California vacated wide swaths of the field. USC was happy to fill the void. The Trojans diced the Bears, running at will.

It mattered little that the starter, Justin Davis, was not in uniform as he recovered from a high ankle sprain. Nor did it make a difference that Jones had sputtered in the first half this season. He hadn’t reached 100 yards yet this season. He surpassed that mark by the second quarter. He reached 200 yards for the first time in his career by the third quarter.

Two USC rushers finished with more than 100 yards: Jones accumulated 223 and Aca’Cedric Ware totaled 130.

Jones needed only 18 carries to tear apart California’s defense.

He caught a screen pass in the first quarter and nearly walked into the end zone. He escaped for a 42-yard scamper. He took a handoff in the third quarter, hopped inside the pulling center and cruised for a touchdown.

Somehow, it was USC’s first and only rushing touchdown of the evening. Quarterback Sam Darnold benefited from the rushing attack to turn a prodigious five-touchdowns, 231-yards game, though his evening was marred by turnovers.

When USC Coach Clay Helton jogged to the sideline at halftime, his mouth stretched in a grind, half amused, half pained.

The Trojans were overwhelming California with 451 yards of offense in the first 30 minutes, more than double California’s first-half total.

To that point, Darnold carved up California’s spacious secondary with four touchdown passes in the first half — two to Darreus Rogers, one to Jones and one to Deontay Burnett, making his first start at slot receiver for the injured Steven Mitchell Jr.

USC scored 28 points in the half — their second-highest total in any half this season. Yet Helton knew USC had let points get away.

“We should be up more than we are right now,” Helton said of the 28-10 lead before he joined the team in the halftime locker room.

The refrain has become familiar since Darnold became the starting quarterback, evidence of both his proficiency and his biggest weakness. Earlier this season, the Darnold-led USC offense gashed Utah’s defense but hobbled itself with three turnovers, one a Darnold fumble. A win over Colorado turned tense because of three more turnovers, two on Darnold fumbles.

Against Cal, Darnold endured his highest turnover total yet, with three. A blindside sack by DaVante Wilson jarred the ball loose in the first half. Darnold fumbled on the next possession too. The Bears converted the turnovers into 10 points. He lobbed an interception into double coverage in the fourth quarter.

“Regret it right now,” Helton said when he reemerged for the second half.

The regret intensified briefly when play resumed. USC punted after a three-play opening drive. California quarterback Davis Webb, who finished with 333 yards, orchestrated a 10-play, 71-yard touchdown drive, capped by a quarterback keeper for a touchdown, to pull California within 11 points.

Jones responded with his touchdown run on the very next drive, as if offended that Webb had beaten him to a rushing score.

Alaska May Offer a View to Future Elections

WASHINGTON — It’s tempting to write off anything that happens in Alaska politics as just plain weird, the result of irregular sunlight or too many low-altitude flights. And maybe that explains what’s happening in the country’s last undecided Senate race, where Senator Lisa Murkowski now seems likely to pull off an unlikely victory as a write-in candidate, after having been ousted by a Tea Party candidate in a Republican primary in August.

But it’s also possible that Alaska’s defiant electorate, like the California voters who just approved a radical change to their voting system, is actually telling us something important about where American politics is headed, at a time when our system for selecting candidates feels increasingly anachronistic.

Alaska election officials began scrutinizing and counting some 92,000 write-in votes on Wednesday — about 11,000 more votes than were cast for Joe Miller, Ms. Murkowski’s Republican opponent. Assuming almost all of those write-in votes ultimately end up in Ms. Murkowski’s column, she would be the first write-in candidate to win a Senate election since Strom Thurmond, who did it in 1954 after Democratic Party leaders in South Carolina gave him the boot for endorsing Dwight D. Eisenhower.

What makes Ms. Murkowski’s potential victory different and especially surprising is that she was, in fact, her party’s original preferred candidate. This means that a lot of voters who weren’t as ideological or as motivated as the Tea Partiers had to go to the trouble of spelling out her three-syllable name, rather than simply checking a box. If they made a movie, it would be called “The Establishment Strikes Back.”

The ballot review process in Juneau included a challenged write-in of “Lesa Murkoski” instead of Lisa Murkowski.

It’s impossible to know, of course, exactly whom Ms. Murkowski’s write-in votes came from. As many as half probably came from more moderate Republicans, judging from her vote totals in August and November. And polling before the election indicated that as many as a third of registered Democratic voters were open to switching their support to Ms. Murkowski, too, if that’s what it took to deny Mr. Miller a victory. (Among the things Mr. Miller became known for during the campaign: citing East Germany as an example of effective border security.)

But chances are that Ms. Murkowski also reeled in some significant bloc of unaffiliated voters, who make up about half the electorate in Alaska.

Something like 230,000 Alaskans appear to have cast ballots in this month’s midterm election, compared with fewer than 146,000 who voted in the Republican and Democratic primaries combined. A CNN/Time poll in the weeks before the election showed Ms. Murkowski edging Mr. Miller among independent voters, even though she wasn’t actually on the ballot.

What all of this probably means is that some critical number of independent voters decided they didn’t like the options the two parties had given them, and they were willing to go to the trouble of writing in a candidate who seemed to have a real chance of winning rather than pull levers A or B.

This was bound to happen somewhere. There was a time in America when our primary process made perfect sense, because most voters identified closely with one party or the other, and it was safe to assume that someone who wanted to participate would choose a team. In the 1950s, independents lagged behind both parties, making up less than a quarter of the electorate.

That number has risen steadily, however, especially among younger voters, to the point where independents have recently overtaken both parties, hovering around 40 percent. A recent Pew Center poll found that the number of voters who identified themselves as independents had risen five percentage points since 2002.

You have to wonder, given this trend, whether the primary process as we’ve known it can remain tenable. With each passing year, it seems, an ever smaller group of voters in either party — rallying, in a year like this one, around ever more extreme points of view — get to effectively determine the options for the rest of the electorate.

It’s a dynamic that this year prompted major change in California, the state where most innovations — fast food, computer chips, etc. — spring to life before sweeping eastward. In an initiative championed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and opposed by both parties, voters approved an open primary system in which candidates of all qualifying parties will be put on the same primary ballot. Then the top two vote-getters will enter a runoff in November, regardless of party.

The idea is that nonpartisan voters, too, will get to take part in winnowing down their choices for November. And candidates will have to appeal to a much wider array of voters during the primary phase of the campaign, rather than just to Tea Partiers or the most liberal activists.

This kind of system might well be the norm in America in 10 or 15 years, as a more independent generation of voters ascends toward middle age. If not, expect to see more primary uprisings among sharply ideological voters followed by more write-in rebellions like Lisa Murkowski’s. If anything’s weird in Alaska this year, it has more to do with the system than it does with the state.

Sheridan Smith pulls out of Funny Girl for up to a month because of stress

Star of West End show taking two- to four-week leave of absence due to stress and exhaustion, producers say

Sheridan Smith is to miss up to a month of performances as Fanny Brice in her West End show Funny Girl due to stress and exhaustion.

Concerns were raised after Smith missed three consecutive shows after the Baftas on Sunday night, with the Savoy theatre announcing that she was “indisposed”.

But in a statement on Thursday, the producers of the show said Smith would be taking a two- to four-week leave of absence during this “difficult time”, and would be replaced by her understudy, Natasha Barnes.

“The entire team at Funny Girl is thinking of Sheridan, and know she is getting the rest and support she needs during this very difficult and stressful time. We will all miss her enormously and send her our love and best wishes.”

They assured ticketholders that Smith’s departure was temporary, adding that “we are looking forward to her return to the show in due course”.

The announcement follows suggestions that Smith is struggling to deal with the emergence of news that her father, to whom she is very close, was diagnosed with cancer in March. It is the same disease which killed her brother a decade ago.

She had previously accused producers of pressuring her into returning to Funny Girl before she was ready. Shortly afterwards, a production was stopped just 15 minutes into the play.

The stoppage was attributed to technical difficulties, though there were reports that audience members claimed Smith was drunk and slurring her words on stage. This has been denied as “categorically untrue” by her publicist.

The incident was the subject of a quip by Graham Norton at the Baftas on Sunday, who said: “We’re all excited for a couple of drinks tonight. Or, as it’s known in theatrical circles, a few glasses of ‘technical difficulties’.”

Following the Baftas, Smith had also responded angrily to suggestions in the press that she had been a sore loser after missing out on the award for best actress for her role in The C WordThose with tickets for Funny Girl over the next month will be left disappointed by the announcement, as Smith’s critically acclaimed performance was the main draw for many.She said on Twitter that she was “not strong enough” to perform in Funny Girl on Monday, adding: “Well done press! U let down me, the cast & everyone who spent money to see me. I apologise profusely! Sorry!”

However, Barnes has garnered glowing reviews from audiences over the past three days, with praise that she had “blown everyone away”, and she received a standing ovation after the Wednesday matinee.

Funny Girl became the fastest-selling show at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London before transferring to the West End this year.

Assassin's Creed: five things we learned from the first trailer

Michael Fassbender’s movie already looks better than Warcraft, with Marion Cotillard on top femme fatale form and director Justin Kurzel embracing the video game

Along with Duncan Jones’s Warcraft it’s been billed as the video game movie that might just make us forget all about the cinematic crimes of Uwe Boll and his ilk, that can induce glorious amnesia for those struggling to wipe clean memories of Prince of Persia, Hitman or Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.

The omens so far are good. Assassin’s Creed comes from the team behind last year’s blistering new take on Macbeth, with director Justin Kurzel bringing back his stars Michael Fassbender (also a hands-on producer) and Marion Cotillard. Here are five takeaways from the first trailer for the film.

Marion Cotillard is doing her best femme fatale

How strange that the cute copine from France’s hit Taxi comedies has developed into one of the most sublime screen beauties of modern Hollywood. Ever since Christopher Nolan cast her as a limbo-bound spirit trapped in Leonardo DiCaprio’s consciousness in Inception, Cotillard has been the go-to actor for twisted femme fatales, a modern day Simone Simon, or Gallic Rita Hayworth. Her Sophia Rikkin here also recalls the Oscar-winner’s startling turn in Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises as Talia Al Ghul. Both are scions of an ancient order, Rikkin part of the Knights Templar, Al Ghul a descendant of the similarly destructive League of Assassins (DC Comics version). What perfect casting.

Michael Fassbender’s Callum Lynch has to die to live

As the trailer opens, our hero has just been tried and executed for doing some very bad things. So what a surprise to wake up and find he’s about to be primed for transfer to the past, where he’ll learn skills from an ancestor. Fans of the video game will recognise the tan and teal filtered medical facility as a base for Abstergo Industries, the modern day successor to the evil Knights Templar. We’re told Lynch is a descendant of the rival Assassin’s guild – in the games Abstergo is unaware of his background, and sends him back in search of powerful artefacts known as the “Pieces of Eden”.

Nobody expected the Spanish inquisition

Ok, that’s not strictly true. It’s long been established that Kurzel’s big screen adaptation will borrow a timeline the game series first visited in 2009’s Assassin’s Creed II. Once he’s picked up those vital skills, word is Lynch will return to the 21st century to use them on his sworn Templar enemies. For once, the fact that renaissance Spain looks like an all-CGI affair makes some sort of sense. This is a video game riff, after all.

Justin Kurzel has transformed video game tropes into nightmarish discombobulation

How do you take the clunky furniture required to make a video game such as Assassin’s Creed work and make it interesting for filmgoers? The answer, Kurzel appears to have decided, is to play on the inherent weirdness of the “Animus” device that transports players back in time on their PlayStations. To be plucked from reality and thrown into the body of an ancestor is to experience a nightmarish sense of discombobulation, the Australian film-maker seems to be saying. Those white coats and pristine clean facilities speak to an immediate sense of body horror as Kurzel chooses to flag up the unnatural quality of the game’s conceit, rather than ignore it.

Assassin’s Creed already looks like a much smoother game-to-movie transfer than Warcraft

Kurzel’s film will debut in December, six months after Duncan Jones’s troubled Warcraft, which trailers so far suggest might find itself weighed down by its own video game legacy. The film’s background as a multiplayer game seems to have persuaded Jones to throw in a multitude of colourful orcs and humans, with the fear being that few of them will really stand out for those who have not played the game. By contrast Assassin’s Creed, as the progeny of a game that’s traditionally been more of a single player affair, can focus entirely on its trump card, the intensely watchable Fassbender.

Ann Coulter writes book in praise of Donald Trump

NEW YORK (AP) — Ann Coulter's next book will be a story of praise — for Donald Trump.

Sentinel, a conservative imprint of Penguin Random House, announced Monday that Coulter's "In Trump We Trust: The New American Revolution" will be published Aug. 23. According to Sentinel, Coulter will call on "conservatives, moderates, and even disgruntled Democrats" to unite behind the presumptive Republican nominee, whom Coulter has supported for months.

Coulter shares with Trump a long history of inflammatory comments. She says in a statement that he is a "one-man wrecking ball against our dysfunctional and corrupt establishment."

Her other books include "Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama" and "Treason: Liberal Treachery From the Cold War to the War on Terror."

PARIS (AP) — France has restored to its rightful owners a drawing by Edgar Degas that was stolen by the Nazis from its Jewish owner in 1940.

In a moving ceremony in Paris on Monday, Culture Minister Audrey Azoulay said that "Trois danseuses en buste" — a late 19th-century charcoal sketch of three ballerinas — was found in 1951 in a cupboard in the Occupation-era German Embassy. It had since remained unclaimed in the Louvre.

Viviane Dreyfus accepted the drawing for her father, Maurice, who died in 1957 without ever speaking of the lost work.

She said she was "extremely touched," especially because she didn't know the work existed.

There are 2,000 unclaimed works sitting in French museums, of which at least 145 were stolen by the Nazis.

How That Big Ant-Man Reveal Ended Up in Captain America: Civil War

When we say Captain America: Civil War has the best superhero action scene of all time in it, we mean it. Part of that is the sheer amount of superheroes involved, part of that is the humor, another part is Spider-Man, but a big part is what Ant-Man does. So we talked to the people behind the scenes about how it went down.

Spoiler warning.

During the massive airport battle, Ant-Man goes the opposite way of his normal stuff and becomes Giant-Man, an incredibly tall and strong version of himself that completely begins to destroy team Iron Man. It feels like the kind of reveal that might have been been saved for the upcoming sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp but producer Kevin Feige felt this was the right time.

“It was just a great idea to turn the tide of the battle in a huge, shocking, unexpected way,” Feige told io9. “We have a lot of ideas for Ant-Man 2, none of which are contingent upon revealing Giant-Man, so we thought this would be the fun, unbelievable unexpected way to do that.”

Civil War’s writers, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely revealed that bringing Giant-Man into the film was something they really wanted to do but there was some pushback.

“The brothers [directors Joe and Anthony Russo] had to fight for it,” McFeely said. “They had to go to the studio and say, ‘No it’s not silly, it’s cool.’”

“Some people are like ‘What does Ant-Man do in a big fight? Well, he can become the most powerful thing,” Markus interjected. “It will be awesome and it is a literal escalation of the fight.”

“It’s a comic book movie!” McFeely continued. “In the grounded Winter Soldier, it’s Three Days of the Condor except in the middle there’s a talking robot that tells you HYDRA has been there the whole time. And a lot of people went, ‘That’s a little much.’ No, it’s a comic book movie! That’s okay. Same thing here, except it’s Giant-Man.’

According to Feige, the other good part of it was, “We knew if we got Spideywe could have him do the AT-AT thing.”

Yes, in the movie Spider-Man brings down Giant-Man just like Luke Skywalker brings down AT-AT’s on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back, by swinging around his legs. Spidey himself even references “that old movie,” a moment the writers didn’t want.

“The brothers really wanted to put it in there,” said McFeely. “We get a little queasy about referencing other movies. They don’t, and they were right.”

There's More to How We Taste Sweetness Than We Thought

Scientists assumed there is just a single type of taste receptor on the tongue responsible for our perception of sweetness. Now researchers from Monell Chemical Senses Center have found that those cells also contain gut enzymes, which contribute to sweet tastes. They describe their findings in a new paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The “taste map” that you may have seen in your elementary school science classes—which maps out different regions of the tongue according to which tastes it senses—has been pretty thoroughly debunked. Instead, taste receptors cover the entire tongue, with different foods tripping different receptors. And scientists thought the so-called T1R3+T1R2 receptor was the only one involved in our perception of sweetness, according to co-author Sunil Sukumaran.

But that’s only the first part of the process. There’s a second pathway for tasting sweetness. The intestines and pancreas also have sugar receptors, except these are only sensitive to simple sugars like glucose, and don’t pick up complex sugars like sucrose (glucose plus fructose). The same enzymes in the gut that break down sugars, so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream, are also present on the tongue, providing a second, subtle layer to how our perception of sweetness.

“It makes sense that the tongue and gut would share similar pathways, as both detect ingested chemicals that are important for metabolic energy,” said study co-author Karen Yee in a statement.

The better we get at figuring out how individual tastes work, the better we can also get at replicating those tastes in artificial sweeteners, so that they don’t taste quite so artificial. “Caloric sugars are sensed by both the T1r pathway and the newly identified pathway,” Sukumaran said. “Artificial sweeteners, on the other hand are sensed by the T1R pathway alone.”

How to Get Rid of Car Air Conditioner Odor

How to Get Rid of Car Air Conditioner Odor

Odor is a normal characteristic of automotive air conditioners. However, the odor's intensity can be reduced significantly by identifying and eliminating its root cause. An unpleasant odor emanating from the dash vents is commonly caused by mice or other small animals nesting in the air box -- which requires removing the nest from the inside of the duct or blower motor area -- or it can be caused by mold and bacteria growing on or around the air conditioner's evaporator core.

Step 1: Unclog the Evaporator Drain Tube

The most common contributor to mold and bacteria growth in the air box is a clogged evaporator drain tube. The drain tube should steadily drip water when the air conditioner is running, especially when it's humid outside. If this drain tube is clogged with leaves or other debris, the evaporator's condensation won't drain out causing water to stagnate. Find the drain tube by looking under the passenger side of the vehicle near the bottom of the firewall area. A metal coat hanger works well to gently push through the clog.

Tip

Water and debris can rush out of the drain tube when it is unclogged. Safety glasses are recommended for this under-car procedure.

Warning

The evaporator core can be punctured or damaged very easily by pushing the coat hanger too far. Do not allow the hanger to travel past the drain tube.

Step 2: Clean the Evaporator Core

If the odor continues after unclogging the drain tube, then you may need to use ananti-odor kit. Several products are available for this purpose. One product that can be purchased is a spray can with a long hose to reach through the vents and kill the mold and bacteria. This is the easiest method but not always the most effective. Other products are available, but they may require access to the evaporator core by either removing the blower motor, removing the blower resistor or by drilling a hole in the duct near the evaporator. If you buy the kit, follow the step-by-step manufacturer's instructions. These products typically use a chemical cleaner that is sprayed onto the evaporator and allowed to dry. You then apply another chemical to prevent further mold and bacterial growth.

Step 3: Replace the Cabin Filter

Many cars today use a cabin air filter to clean the incoming air. These filters typically need to be replaced every year or every 10,000 to 15,000 miles, according to vehicle manufacturers. A charcoal impregnated cabin filter can be purchased to help the elimination of odors. Access to replace the cabin filter may be from under the hood near the firewall, under the windshield or from behind the glove box. It is housed inside the air box.

Tip

Specific instructions explaining the replacement interval and procedure of the cabin air filter can be found in the vehicle's owner's manual.

To help prevent future mold and bacterial growth, when parking the vehicle set the HVAC system to the outside -- fresh-air -- mode. This can help dry out the air box.

How to Troubleshoot a Starter Solenoid

How to Troubleshoot a Starter Solenoid

Without it, your car cannot go anywhere. Yet, a starter solenoid's only job is to complete the circuit between the battery and the starter when you turn the key to start. However, not every start goes as smoothly as it should, and the solenoid might refuse to crank the engine, disengage the pinion gear or might keep the starter motor running. Fortunately, even with very little knowledge of electricity you can learn to troubleshoot a problematic solenoid. Gain the skills to test both on-starter and remote-mounted solenoids. For these tests, it is better if you have the help of an assistant.

Step 1

Check that your car battery is fully charged before beginning these tests.

Step 2

Move the gear to neutral if you are diagnosing a car with a standard transmission or park if you are diagnosing a car with an automatic transmission.

Step 3

Apply the parking brake and make sure to stay away from moving engine parts as you proceed with these tests.

Step 4

Disconnect the coil high tension cable from the distributor cap and ground it using a short jumper wire.

Step 5

Ask your assistant to turn the ignition key to start while you listen for a click at the starter solenoid. If you hear a firm click, go to step 9 if you have an on-starter solenoid; go to steps 10 and 11 if you have a remote-mounted solenoid. If you hear a weak click or repeated click sounds, go to the next step.

Step 6

Unplug the small control circuit wire at the solenoid terminal. If there are two small wires, disconnect the one marked with an "S"; otherwise, check the wiring diagram for your particular vehicle to locate this wire.

Step 7

Connect a jumper wire to the battery positive terminal. As you bring the other jumper wire’s end in touch with the solenoid’s control circuit terminal you should hear a solid click; if you do not hear any sounds or hear a weak or chattering sound, make sure the solenoid is properly grounded and there is no corrosion or other substance preventing a good ground. Repeat the test. If you still don’t hear a solid click, replace the solenoid.

Step 8

Unplug the small control circuit wire at the solenoid terminal. Ask your assistant to turn the key to start. Using a voltmeter, test for voltage at the control circuit wire. If the meter reads 0 volts, there is an open in that part of the circuit preventing the solenoid from operating the starter. Locate and fix the open.

Step 9

Ask your assistant to turn the key to start. Check for a voltage drop between the solenoid's battery terminal and the starter motor strap. The voltage drop should be no more than 0.2 volts; otherwise, replace the solenoid. Make sure the battery cable is well connected to the solenoid. Remember, this step is only for an on-starter solenoid.

Step 10

Ask your assistant to turn the key to start. Check for a voltage drop across the two cable connections on the solenoid. The voltage drop should not exceed 0.2 volts. If it does, make sure the cable connections are completely clean and well connected. If you still read over 0.2 volts, replace the solenoid. Remember, this step and the next one are only for remote-mounted solenoids.

Step 11

Unplug the small control circuit wire at the solenoid’s terminal. Using your multimeter, measure the resistance between the control circuit terminal and the solenoid’s ground bracket. If the resistance is above 5 ohms, replace the solenoid. Remember, this step is only for remote-mounted solenoids.
