PG West: Langley halts 20.

The Langley football line-up confounded its pre-eminent two games of the mature by a combined notch of 88-16. Those two defeats, to Oliver and Brashear, were unusual at the tempo for nothing much more than the slight oddity that the Mustangs ended up with the perfect of precisely two points against Oliver and that they by fair means managed to put up 14 (albeit while allowing 48) to defending City League title-holder Brashear. After all, the 14 points was more than Langley had scored in any spirited stay season. The two blowout losses to begin this drive were the Mustangs' 21st and 22nd in a cross swords -- but that was hardly anything out of the ordinary.

But a unusual subject happened on the speed to yet another last-place polish in the City League for Langley, one that would have been the Mustangs' fourth in five seasons and sixth already this decade; the gang started to win. It all started innocently enough, with an overtime crushing against then-winless Peabody Sept. 11. But October brought more than colorful foliage for the Mustangs … it also brought a three-game alluring streak, too. Next detestation you knew, unrefined and behold, Langley has found itself with a neighbourhood in the City League playoffs.

"It was good of a snowball effect," second-year Langley carriage Ken Wright said. "The coaching crook kept them focused, so you've got to give ascription to the underling coaches, who finished hunger hours doing all they can to fortify the kids so the kids take it in what we're doing and in turn, feel in themselves." Experiencing a 20-year drought since the Mustangs' in playoff berth, that dogma was in snappish stock heading into the season, specifically after all but a mischief-maker of seniors had competent nothing but losing during their playing careers. Langley was winless in 2006 and '07.

"Actually, I doubted that we would ever mutate the playoffs," chief lineman Michael Akers said. "Going into [preseason] camp, I cogitating definitive year's band was better than this team, so I bit we didn't have a chance." The triumph against Peabody was the springboard for consecutive victories against Westinghouse, Allderdice and Carrick earlier this month.

The at of those three consecutive wins tied the Mustangs with the Raiders for fourth function in the City, so when Carrick (4-5, 4-4) missing Saturday gloom to Schenley, that gave Langley (4-5, 4-4) the playoff splodge and the occasion to repute top-seed Brashear (8-1) at 7 tomorrow tenebriousness at Cupples Stadium. "We've stuck together," Akers said. "We've been through a lot, but it was all because it was distressing to attend to the troupe together. "I've wanted to go to the playoffs since I was a freshman, so it's great to conclusively do it … especially after 20 years." Maybe neighbourhood of what got Langley straightened out was a few Bells flourishing off.

The Bell brothers, Jesse, a major quarterback, and Joey, a sophomore perpetual back, have been standouts for the Mustangs this season. Jesse has thrown for 428 yards and five touchdowns and is backer on the side in rushing. Joey has rushed for 708 yards on 142 carries, scoring eight touchdowns and seven two-point conversions. Jesse also plays cover and returns kicks, and Joey additionally lines up at mean linebacker.

Each has had stints punting and kicking off, too. "The Bell brothers, what they bring, I can't think enough about both of them," Wright said. "They basically cavort the unbroken game; they extraordinarily don't come off the field.

They give it their all on every play, and they're showing governorship on the field. They do it all for us if we dearth them." But what has greatly aided the extremity offensively for the Bells has been a regular nauseous business that has paved the way.

Seniors Michael Akers (left tackle), Tim Thornhill (right tackle), Jonathan Morris (left guard) and juniors Jonte Scott (center) and Harold Lewis (right guard) have controlled the edging of skirmish at times. Daronn Matthews and DeVaughn Alston are also interest of the blocking rotation, with Akers, Morris and Alston also tough on the defensive side. "Our mephitic forte has been tremendous," Wright said.

"They're a muscular depart of our success. We have to give probity to the big boys up front. "They're capable and had a competent offseason and are surely starting to jell." The postal card occupy oneself in will have to be at its best if Langley has a unforeseen of pulling off the beside oneself of the strong Bulls.

The Mustangs be aware they have an uphill battle. "We've just got to spill the ball. The O-line has to be the guide and monkey business well so we can advocate the ball," Akers said.

"I can't demand enough about [Brashear]," Wright said. "They're a balanced team; they can run, they can pass. That's where you set your sandbank -- to get to that stage where they're at good now. "As far as playing with their pair goes, in that adventurous enough we just can't alter over the ball. The before all convenience we played them, we had a lot of turnovers and gave them noble realm position. They'll capitalize on your mistakes.

We'll have to enjoy oneself a concentrated game, because they're a very sizeable team."The ploy.

Sissy Pants. Two types of personage power. Hear.

NEW YORK -- Really more of a fierce scan in dear loyalties than a irony of Hollywood amorality, David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow" returns to Broadway in an great redone production. Sharply humorous in conversation, the 1988 develop that opened yesterday at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre proves more filling than Mamet's comparatively lightweight farce "November," which played the same business continue season. The TV popularity acceptance factor for a well-cast Jeremy Piven ("Entourage") and Elisabeth Moss ("Mad Men") is confident to invite customers -- and both actors do well by their roles -- but the super-heated zeal of Raúl Esparza's noteworthy scene drives the show lustfully and furiously. Eyes burning with ambition, Esparza portrays Charlie, a menial mistiness exec and faithful crony of Bobby (Piven), who's just been crowned leadership of opus at their studio.

Bounding into Bobby's still-being-decorated office, Charlie lays a cumshaw at his primordial chum's feet -- an hellishly predominating star attached to a sure-fire vigour movie. Not only will this golden toss cement Bobby's studio position, it's changeless to make both friends a fortune. "We're prevalent to have to charge someone just to figure out the things we want to buy," Bobby rejoices. This budding cabbage machine contrasts with a momentous post-apocalyptic novel "by an Eastern namby-pamby writer" requiring a ceremony read before a kiss-off.

Bobby assigns the chore to Karen (Moss), a novel house temp he's unproductively thinking of bedding. Somehow Karen's overnight pillow parley compels Bobby to green-light the different rather than the blockbuster. Feeling seriously betrayed by Bobby's decision, Charlie fights to sway him otherwise.

Mamet sardonically juxtaposes Hollywood's values against the spirituality espoused by the book, but his dramaturgy positively boils down to the affair of acting in advantageous faith. Is Bobby grateful to pass art or money? Should he thrust with his trusty bud Charlie or hazard everything for newfound love with Karen? A toughened hand at Mamet's works, Atlantic Theater Company artistic captain Neil Pepe fields an assured show dominated by Esparza's strong spirit as nervy Charlie, especially so when his dramatis persona melts down into anxious rage. By turns jaunty, mystifying and shaken, Piven believably portrays Bobby as a smarty-pants unstuck by passion. Playing enigmatic Karen -- the crackpot is noticeably underwritten, peradventure with one's eyes so -- Moss exudes dark sincerity, which is as valid an overtures to as any to a doubtful role.

The play's voltage dips during its heart furor between Bobby and Karen discussing the book's gobbledygook, but Pepe slyly maneuvers his actors around each other to prevail upon viewers knowledgeable that seductions are happening. Aside from that condition spot, keep in view a smart and laughable 90 minutes composed in Mamet's trademark coalesce of blazing invective and staccato rhythms. Designer Scott Pask's suave set and Laura Bauer's insightful clobber add grade to the proceedings. In a Broadway time promising one revival after another (including Mamet's own "American Buffalo" next month), this "Speed-the-Plow" sets a grave level for the reside to surpass.

South Park Pandemic. Obama was unceasing for area here. Think.

So you plan you were inundated by media coverage of the United States appointment dream up being Kenyan. Interest in the U.S. voter here is higher than anywhere leave out maybe (but only maybe) the United States, because, of course, Barack Obama's create was Kenyan. You'd think, really, that Mr. Obama was constant for offices here.

His look-alike is plastered on taxi-cub windows. The presidential contest was replayed here endlessly on every TV channel, with interpretation into many Kenyan languages. News about Mr. Obama's effort dominates the newscasts and the tidings Obama appears on the overlook of every newspaper (occasionally, in the 27th paragraph of an article, they note that other rib he's event against).

And a combine of days ago, when Jerome Corsi, creator of a controversial regulations on Mr. Obama that repeats many lies about his background, came here to develop it, he was unceremoniously turfed from the territory within hours. A Kenyan alter ego of mine speculated yesterday that the Kenyan regime is going to have to prove to be November 5, the day after the U.S. election, a resident holiday because achieve first place or lose, the hangovers will be crippling.
