First He Invented The Phone. Then, Bell Left A Voice Message

Skip to Main Content

As the inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell is credited with bringing countless voices to our ears. And now, for the first time, here he is imploring us to hear his own voice:

Though the quality of the sound recordings is poor, we know what Alexander Graham Bell was saying because he left transcripts.

Smithsonian's National Museum of American History

The sound is scratchy. You have to strain to decipher it, but the words are clear. They're from Bell's lips, recorded in 1885 but unveiled just last week by the Smithsonian.

"It lets us know what the past was really like. It fills in a gap for people," says Shari Stout, collections manager at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

Stout is part of the team that helped uncover Bell's voice. It reveals in part, that while Bell hailed from Scotland, he spent enough time in the United States that he doesn't have much of a Scottish accent. Bell also came from a family of elocutionists, and as Stout points out, he speaks pronounces words correctly and distinctly.

Bell made the recordings with his partners at the Volta Lab in Washington, D.C. They're among hundreds of experimental discs and cylinders Bell left with the Smithsonian, evidently to protect against a patent dispute.

"They're all different materials," Stout says. "Sometimes they use plaster, sometimes tinfoil, things that look like cardboard ? it's very bizarre."

The recordings have sat collecting dust for more than a century. They were too delicate for experts to attempt to extract the sound ? until now.

"This is new technology that's been developed by our partners at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab; it's a non-invasive technology using lasers," Stout says. "They started out recovering commercial records. It turns out our curator read about it in The New York Times."

Bell was a bit mundane in the words he chose to put down for posterity. You can hear him at one point counting in dollar denominations. Stout says they're not really sure why Bell was counting money, but they have an idea.

"One of the speculations is that they may have been inventing this technology with the hope toward using it as a business machine," he says. Eventually what came from that technology was applied toward the invention of the dictaphone.

Bell's contribution to sound recording tends to be overshadowed by Thomas Edison's invention of the phonograph in 1877. That could change as the Smithsonian sorts through its cache of recordings. There may be more long-silent treasures we have yet to hear.

"We have a few Berliner pieces and some Edison tinfoils, but the bulk of our collection is from the Bell collection," Stout says. "So we have plenty of things hiding in our cupboard."

Wahlberg's "Pain & Gain" knocks Cruise from box office lead

By Lisa Richwine and Andrea Burzynski

(Reuters) - Mark Wahlberg's dark comedy "Pain & Gain" brought enough box office muscle to knock Tom Cruise out of the No. 1 spot on movie charts in the United States and Canada.

Another box office heavyweight, Robert Downey Jr., scored big overseas with the international debut of Marvel superhero sequel "Iron Man 3."

"Pain & Gain" took in $20 million at U.S. and Canadian theaters over its first three days, according to studio estimates released on Sunday. Cruise's sci-fi thriller, "Oblivion," slipped to second place with $17.4 million.

"Iron Man 3" hauled in $195.3 million in 42 international markets, distributor Walt Disney Co said, a total that surpassed the international opening of "The Avengers." The movie arrives in the United States and Canada on Friday to kick off Hollywood's lucrative summer blockbuster season.

Receipts for "Pain & Gain" beat pre-weekend forecasts for a debut of at least $15 million. The film is based on the real-life story of Miami bodybuilders who kidnap a wealthy deli owner and plan to steal his fortune. When their plot goes awry, the criminals scramble to escape being caught.

"We were estimating high teens, so anything with a two in front is good," said Don Harris, president of domestic theatrical distribution at Paramount Pictures, the Viacom Inc unit that released the movie.

Paramount Pictures produced "Pain & Gain" for $26 million. Dwayne Johnson stars alongside Wahlberg in the film, which is directed by Michael Bay of the blockbuster "Transformers" series.

"Oblivion," a post-apocalyptic drama about the last humans on Earth, brought its two-week total in North America (the United States and Canada) to $64.7 million. Comcast Corp's Universal Pictures estimated international sales through Sunday at $134.1 million, bringing the film's worldwide total to $198.8 million.

Baseball drama "42," about Jackie Robinson's debut as Major League Baseball's first black player, finished in third place with $10.7 million domestically.

In fourth place, new romantic comedy "The Big Wedding" earned $7.5 million. Despite a big-name cast including Robert DeNiro, Susan Sarandon and Katherine Heigl, the movie was ravaged by critics. Only 6 percent of reviews on the Rotten Tomatoes website recommended the film.

Lions Gate Entertainment Corp distributed "The Big Wedding," and Millennium Films covered most of the $35 million production cost.

In the No. 5 slot, animated Stone Age comedy "The Croods" grossed $6.6 million.

North American ticket sales for all movies this year reached nearly $2.9 billion, running 11.8 percent behind sales at the same point in 2012, according to the box office division of Hollywood.com.

The release of "Iron Man 3" next weekend is expected to jump-start domestic sales. Boxoffice.com is projecting $151 million in North American receipts over the film's first three days, which would rank as the biggest opening so far this year.

Disney's executive vice president for motion picture distribution Dave Hollis declined to make a prediction for the film's U.S. opening, but was optimistic based on the overseas numbers.

"To say that we are encouraged by these results is an understatement," Hollis said.

"Oblivion" was distributed by Universal Pictures, a unit of Comcast Corp. Time Warner Inc's Warner Bros studio released "42," while "The Croods" was produced by Dreamworks Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox, a unit of News Corp.

Scientists control chirality in carbon nanotubes

Apr. 29, 2013 ? An ultimate goal in the field of carbon nanotube research is to synthesise single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with controlled chiralities. Twenty years after the discovery of SWNTs, scientists from Aalto University in Finland, A.M. Prokhorov General Physics Institute RAS in Russia and the Center for Electron Nanoscopy of Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have managed to control chirality in carbon nanotubes during their chemical vapor deposition synthesis.

Carbon nanotube structure is defined by a pair of integers known as chiral indices (n,m), in other words, chirality.

"Chirality defines the optical and electronic properties of carbon nanotubes, so controlling it is a key to exploiting their practical applications," says Professor Esko I. Kauppinen, the leader of the Nanomaterials Group in Aalto University School of Science.

Over the years, substantial progress has been made to develop various structure-controlled synthesis methods. However, precise control over the chiral structure of SWNTs has been largely hindered by a lack of practical means to direct the formation of the metal nanoparticle catalysts and their catalytic dynamics during tube growth.

"We achieved an epitaxial formation of Co nanoparticles by reducing a well-developed solid solution in CO," reveals Maoshuai He, a postdoctoral researcher at Aalto University School of Chemical Technology.

"For the first time, the new catalyst was employed for selective growth of SWNTs," adds senior staff scientist Hua Jiang from Aalto University School of Science.

By introducing the new catalysts into a conventional CVD reactor, the research team demonstrated preferential growth of semiconducting SWNTs (?90%) with an exceptionally high population of (6,5) tubes (53%) at 500 ?C. Furthermore, they also showed a shift of the chiral preference from (6,5) tubes at 500 ?C to (7, 6) and (9, 4) nanotubes at 400 ?C.

"These findings open new perspectives both for structural control of SWNTs and for elucidating their growth mechanisms, thus are important for the fundamental understanding of science behind nanotube growth," comments Professor Juha Lehtonen from Aalto University.

This work is financially supported by the CNB-E project in Aalto University through the Multidisciplinary Institute of Digitalization and Energy (MIDE) program and the Aalto Energy Efficiency program project (MOPPI). This work made use of facilities at Nanomicroscopy Center of Aalto University in Finland and at the Center for Electron Nanoscopy at the Technical University in Denmark sponsored by the A.P. M?ller and Chastine Mc-Kinney M?ller Foundation.

The Newsmaker Memo: An Interview With Pioneering Climate Scientist James Hansen

Having directed NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies for most of the past four decades, Dr. James E. Hansen retired this month to devote himself to the scientific activism that has brought both awards and catcalls during his long and distinguished career. On April 24, he will receive the Ridenhour Courage Prize in Washington, D.C., for "bravely and urgently telling the truth about climate change."

Hansen recently spoke with The National Memo about the dangers of global warming, the benefits of nuclear power, the failures of both Republican and Democratic administrations, the imperatives of scientific advocacy ? and how a carbon tax might actually replace "cap and trade," which seems to be disintegrating in Europe.

Now 72, Hansen is the son of a tenant farmer who studied with the legendary space scientist James Van Allen at the University of Iowa, before going on to postgraduate work in the Netherlands and at Columbia University, where the Goddard Institute is located. He joined NASA in 1972, planning to study the effect of gas clouds on the climate of Venus, but eventually realized that investigating climate changes on Earth was "probably more important ? a planet that is changing before our eyes and has people living on it."

By 1981, his team at NASA-Goddard published its first major paper on carbon dioxide and climate in the journal Science, which prompted page-one coverage in The New York Times.

"We said we can't burn all the coal without producing a very different planet," Hansen recalls. But "it wasn't until 1988 that I gave testimony which got a lot of attention, and that was because that was the year of a heat wave and tremendous drought in the Midwest United States." Hansen's warnings increasingly irked the Republican oilmen in the Reagan and Bush administrations, who tried to silence or fire him, but they never drove him out.

"Being at NASA and having the access to both computing capability and satellite observation capability is kind of the ideal research situation to try to understand global climate change. So of course I preferred to stay in the government ? and I was fortunate that (the late) Senator John Heinz, a moderate Republican from Pennsylvania, came to my rescue when John Sununu (chief of staff in the first Bush White House) was on the warpath and wanted to have me fired."

Publicly, he remained quiet for 15 years. "But the message in the science had become clearer and clearer ... It was well accepted by (2004) that the planet really was getting warmer and the cause was human-made greenhouse gases. And yet the policies still took no account of that, and the plan was to build more and more coal-fired power plants."

He finally spoke out again at the University of Iowa ? "to make clear that the Bush administration was not taking effective action." That speech "drew the attention of the Bush administration," he says, laughing, "and they decided to assign someone to keep track of me and prevent me from speaking out." (Eventually the Times reported that, too.)

In recent years, Hansen has been arrested in climate protests at the White House and elsewhere, and in retirement plans to intensify his activism. Freed from the strictures of government, he plans to assist in "legal actions against state and federal government for not adequately protecting the rights of young people and future generations. And also contributing to the cases where they're trying to stop coal exports from the West Coast ? and the (Keystone) tar sands pipeline. In May I'm going to Europe for a week to try to persuade some governments there that they should be putting an extra fee or tax on tar-sands oil because it is more damaging per unit of energy than the easily extractable oil."

In order to remain effective, "I really have to say on top of the science, so most of my time will be spent on scientific research. ... But I also want to be involved in trying to make clear the implications of the science for policy. It seems to me that scientists are well trained for connecting dots ? and I never quite understood why even the really good NASA high-level people would always caution me to 'stick to the science, don't mention policy."

Catastrophic climate change can be averted, Hansen says, but only if we start "putting an honest price on the fossil fuels that includes their environmental costs, both their effect on human health, those costs being paid completely by the public, their effects in air pollution and water pollution, but also their effects on climate."

He scorns the current "dishonest" cap-and-trade scheme. "You have to have a simple system which is transparent and which actually reduces the fossil fuel use. There's really no value added by bringing the big banks into the problem. But with the cap-and-trade (system), the prices fluctuate and because there's so much politics involved the prices can collapse, and so no one has any confidence in that system.

"And the banks of course" ? he laughs ? "JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, they have skilled trading units, hundreds of highly capable people who will make big dollars out of trades ? but it adds nothing of value to the system, and where does that money come from? It doesn't come out of thin air; it comes out of the public, the people, paying more for their energy. "

The so-called cap-and-trade "offsets," which award carbon credits for preserving trees, "can be really hokey, really hard to verify ? and they don't actually pay attention to the physics of the problem, which tells you that the fossil fuel carbon that you put into the atmosphere will stay in the climate system for millennia. ... That means that there is a limit on how much fossil fuel you can burn. And they're trying to trade other things in there as if they were equivalent to this fossil fuel carbon, but they're not."

Instead, Hansen favors a simple carbon tax or what he calls "fee and dividend," with a rising surcharge on fossil fuels that is rebated in full to all taxpayers.

"The reason for the fee is simple ? it really needs to be collected at the domestic mine or port of entry so that it's just across the board ? but unless you're giving that money to the public, the public will never allow the fee to continue to rise because they will see the impact on the cost of gasoline at the pump and in their utility bills until there are some alternatives."

The alternative that Hansen favors ? a rapid worldwide expansion of nuclear power ? is highly controversial among environmentalists, to say the least.

"I just published a paper with (fellow Goddard scientist) Pushker Kharecha, in which we point out the number of lives that have been saved by nuclear power. And that's nuclear power of the early generations, 50-year-old technology. Even with that old technology, the accidents that did occur ? the number of lives lost ? was very limited in comparison to the number that are killed every year by coal, by the air and by water pollution from fossil fuel burning and fossil fuel mining. "

Hansen believes that new cooling systems and advanced reactor designs can answer concerns about accidents like the meltdown at Fukushima, Japan ? "that's solvable now" ? and how to dispose of radioactive waste. "With a fourth generation of nuclear power, you can have a technology that will burn more than 99 percent of the energy in the fuel. It would mean that you don't need to mine uranium for the next thousand years. We have got enough excess weapons material and nuclear waste to provide the fuel for many centuries."

Hansen knows this isn't a popular viewpoint. "There are certain environmental organizations ? especially the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Rocky Mountain Institute, the Natural Resources Defense Council ? which are just dead set against nuclear power. And I understand where they were coming from, several decades ago."

Today he worries that solar, wind and other renewable sources will not soon provide sufficient reliable energy. "I think that nuclear is probably needed, but I'm quite happy to just say 'let's put a rising price on carbon and let the market decide.' I hope that Germany or California is successful in their efforts to get these so-called renewables to provide most of the energy but I think that's unlikely. ... If we would put this price on carbon it would favor renewables, and it would favor energy efficiency, and it would favor nuclear power ? it would favor anything that is carbon-free. That's the way to do it ? not by government deciding, this is the winning technology."

He stands with the environmentalists in strong opposition to the Keystone XL project, however. "If you make that pipeline, that sort of guarantees that over time, you're eventually going to exploit a lot of that (tar sands) resource. And it doesn't make any sense economically if you look at it ? the only reason they go ahead with it is that it's partly subsidized and it's not made to pay for its cost to society. If we could stop it and get any sort of a price on carbon that even partially reflects the cost of CO2 to society, then tar sands would simply not be exploited."

According to a paper he will soon release, "simple economic modeling shows that if you put a moderate rising price on carbon ? $10 a ton, going up $10 a ton for 10 years ? by the end of 10 years you would reduce United States emissions by 30 percent. And that's 10 times or 11 times more than the volume of the Keystone pipeline. So there are much more effective ways of assuring our energy independence and contributing to stabilizing climate than trying to develop more fossil fuel sources." Government should also adopt much tighter regulations to conserve energy in appliances, buildings and transportation, he adds.

Politically, Hansen urges Americans to support Citizens Climate Lobby, a group advocating a simple flat carbon fee, with the money distributed to the public. He is considering whether to help found a "grandparents" movement against climate change. "But frankly in the United States it looks very difficult with our present two parties to get prompt action. I think we need a third party. Money has too big an influence on our politics in Washington and somehow we need to do something about that."

Movie review: 'The Company You Keep' has Redford considering ...

"The Company You Keep" ? Robert Redford (who directed) plays a former '60s radical trying to clear his name in this political drama. (Opens April 26)

Movie review: ?The Company You Keep? has Redford considering radicals and regret

"The Company You Keep" has the contours of a chase thriller ? and under another director, it could have been a tense action movie along the lines of director Tony Scott?s "Spy Game" (which, liked this movie, has Robert Redford in the lead).

But Redford also is the director of "The Company You Keep," so this adaptation of Neil Gordon?s novel (by "The Limey" screenwriter Lem Dobbs) is a more thoughtful, introspective drama about the choices of youth and the regrets of old age.

?

HHH

?The Company You Keep?

Director-star Robert Redford constructs a thinking man?s thriller, looking back at antiwar radicalism and the regrets of its practitioners.

Where ? Area theaters.

When ? Opens Friday, April 26

Rating ? R for language.

Running time ? 121 minutes.

In upstate New York, Sharon Solarz (Susan Sarandon) is arrested by the FBI after living secretly under another name for 30 years ? a fugitive from the Weather Underground, the radical antiwar group that bombed government buildings and robbed banks mostly in the 1970s. Sharon?s arrest draws the attention of Ben Shepard (Shia Labeouf), an eager young reporter in Albany, who starts digging around and finds a link to a local attorney, Jim Grant (played by Redford).

Grant wants nothing to do with Shepard; he wants only to help his clients and care for his 12-year-old daughter, Isabel (Jackie Evancho). But as Ben starts digging deeper, he uncovers Grant?s secret: He?s actually Nick Sloan, another Weather Underground member who?s been in hiding since a Michigan bank robbery that left a security guard dead.

Grant/Sloan goes into action, heading to New York to leave Isabel with his long-estranged brother Daniel (Chris Cooper) before embarking on a cross-country trek ? with the Feds on his tail ? to clear his name. To do so, he must find another fugitive, Mimi (Julie Christie), the only person who could clear him in the bank-robbery case.

During his trek, Grant/Sloan encounters a rogue?s gallery of aged character actors, including Nick Nolte, Sam Elliott, Richard Jenkins and Brendan Gleeson. Meanwhile, Ben gets to meet younger, cuter supporting players ? namely, a young FBI agent (Anna Kendrick) and a police chief?s daughter (Brit Marling).

Redford structures Dobbs? script into a series of dialogues, and from those conversations come the ideas Redford wants to explore. There is banter about the carelessness of modern journalism and the short-sightedness of current politics.

What really gets Redford fired up is a serious examination of how the ideals of his generation of antiwar radicals were right, though their tactics were wrong. It?s a dichotomy that may be too subtle for talk radio ? in fact, many right-wing writers have slagged Redford as an "apologist" for what they label left-wing terrorists. But it?s an uncomfortable idea that builds more tension into "The Company You Keep" than an average car chase could have.

travel & leisure: Impress Your Client's With an Orlando Limousine

By John Adams

You need to know how to travel with style when you're here in Orlando on business. There are many corporate headquarters in Orlando now and many satellite offices, too. It has much to offer with its magical Disney theme parks and its golf courses that are among the most beautiful in the world.

Anything you do must spell your class and preference. In case you are visiting Orlando on business or getting your customers to visit the city, getting in touch with an Orlando limo service would be the right thing to do. This way, you can make your clients feel important and well cared for. Make their travel comfortable and earn their appreciation.

Advantages to Orlando Limo Travel: Orlando is more difficult to navigate than lots of other urban areas in the nation. With all the tourists, the roads can be jammed and it could take you twenty minutes to go five miles. Picture doing that in a tiny rental car trying to get yourself around a new city. But that's not the way things have to be.

There are plenty of places to visit and have faith in your limo driver to take you anywhere on time by using the favored routes in the midst of traffic, while you savor the rest and comfort you are entitled to. You could relish the comfort of limo from the airport to your destination or wherever you need to go.

Leave a great impression by taking advantage of luxurious services. People based in Orlando should not forget the option of hiring a limousine and chauffeur to host guests. If you just hire a car, your guests may lose their way and waste their time unnecessarily. Nevertheless, choosing a limo service would provide an enjoyable and luxurious experience that is well above expectations.

Entertain people in style and luxury. Hiring a cab would give an impression that you are being cheap. Hiring a limousine is the socially appropriate way of sending your honored guests to a five star restaurant. Be sure to hire a limousine that meets your touring needs in Orlando.

You may need to book travel for yourself or for your clients while in Orlando and among these should be a limousine service. The driver is a guide who also recommends the best eateries, sites, and events. And as you're being driven around, you get to sit back and relax.

The moment you tour Orlando in a limousine, every other method of traveling will seem lame. It is no doubt the preferred method of touring the whole city in luxury and style. Nothing can beat the experience!

Alternative Westerns?

So, I'll preface this by saying that I'm a fan of westerns, both of the traditional nature, or the alternative type. (I'll address my definition of alternative western further on in this.) Unfortunately, though, I don't see many of these types of roleplays on this website, so I thought I'd make an interest check to see if anyone else has an interest in this.

What do I mean by alternative western? Well, I'm sure you're all familiar with the traditional western; all of those John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies that take place in the American West during the 19th century - and sometimes the early 20th. But, those aren't the only types of fiction you can consider a western. In fact, the western genre can be applied to many other types of fiction...

And, without further adieu, I will present a list of ways the western can be used, and by extension, the alternative types of western that I'd be interested in roleplaying.

Space Western/Sci-Fi Western

Science fiction is probably the genre that most easily translates to westerns. The final frontier and all that. I've had a story idea floating around in my head for quite some time, and that would make it easier for me to get things going.

I'd also like to point out the difference between a space western and a sci-fi western. A space western generally takes place in the future where society in general has access to advanced technology and space travel. Whereas, a sci-fi western is a story that takes place during the American West during the 19th century, but there's certain advanced technologies available. Firefly is a good example of a space western while Cowboys vs. Aliens is a good example of a sci-fi western.

I'd be open for either one.

Japanese Western

First of all, I'd like to point out that by 'Japanese', I'm not referring to anime or manga. While I don't have a particular dislike for anime or manga, it's usually safe to say that I'm also not a huge fan of it either.

What I mean by 'Japanese' is more to do with more ancient and traditional Japanese culture. I'll admit that this pair has always intrigued me. If you compare feudal Japan with the American West, you'll find that there are a lot of similarities between the two eras, at least in the manner that they're both romanticized.

Although a space western/sci-fi western might be easier to do than a feudal Japanese style western, in some ways I'm more interested in doing the latter type since it isn't quite as common.

Fantasy/Supernatural Western

While this is an interesting pairing and may be more difficult to pull off than the first two, it's entirely doable in my opinion. You could include races from high fantasy (elves, dwarves, orcs, etc.) into a western-type environment, or it could be set in a western environment where people have the ability to use magic with monsters and other supernatural creatures present. It could even include some horror where a supernatural monster or monsters are after people who are in the American west.

Post-Apocalyptic Western

This too has a range of options available, particularly as far as the definition of post-apocalyptic goes. It could be a natural disaster that destroyed a large portion of the population. It could be a nuclear event that had similar results. Or, it could even be Armageddon where demons and angels wage war on Earth while some of the human population also remains. Some of these post-apocalyptic scenarios could fall under another category, such as sci-fi or fantasy/supernatural.

Now, I hope I haven't bored you with my wall-o-text. If any of these ideas strike your fancy, please feel free to say something. If you have any ideas, questions, or suggestions, you are also more than welcome to voice them.

Thanks for reading!

Report: Apple to release updated phone this summer

NEW YORK (AP) ? Apple is set for a possible summer launch of the next iPhone, rather than a fall launch like the last two models, according to a report Tuesday in The Wall Street Journal.

Apple Inc. is also working on a cheaper iPhone model that could win it some market share in developing countries, the paper said. It cited unnamed people "familiar with the device's production."

The report is in line with the expectations of company watchers and Wall Street analysts. The iPhone 5 costs around $600, and while Apple maintains older iPhones in production, even those aren't cheap enough to compete effectively against low-end smartphones running Google Inc.'s Android software.

Apple doesn't comment on future products before its launch events. Its executives usually emphasize that the company's goal is to make the best products, not the cheapest ones.

The Journal said Apple is set to start production of the new iPhone within the next three months. It's apparently relying on sources among the Asian companies that supply components for the phone and assemble it.

First turtle genome shows beauty more than shell-deep

When hibernating, western painted turtles can freeze solid and stop breathing. After a long winter without oxygen, submerged in ice-covered ponds, they just wake and pick up where they left off.

An international team of researchers have sequenced the turtle genome looking for novel genes to explain these unique physiological adaptations. However, the turtles don't rely on unique mutations for their superpowers. Instead, they find new ways of activating commonplace gene networks.

For example, the researchers identified 19 genes in the brain and 23 in the heart that are activated in low-oxygen conditions, including one gene, APOLD1, which was expressed nearly 130 times as much as normal. These genes also are present in humans, so they are good candidates to explore for treatments for tissue damage due to oxygen deprivation.

"This is a back-door route for turtles to evolve," says co-author Patrick Minx?of The Genome Institute at Washington University in St Louis. "Rather than evolve new genes, they adapted existing genes for new uses."

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) ? California coach Lindsay Gottlieb was in elementary school the last time a West Coast women's basketball program not named Stanford reached the Final Four.

Gottlieb understood the drought and the difficulty in getting to the national semifinals. That's partly why the grin on her face was so wide Monday night when Cal finally snapped that 25-year streak, sending the Golden Bears to New Orleans for the Final Four.

"These kids are brought in," Gottlieb said. "So many things go into it and then you have to get a little lucky and then things have to go right, so I'm really conscious of this is special."

Layshia Clarendon scored 17 of her 25 points in the second half and overtime, and California rallied from 10 down with less than 7 minutes left to beat Georgia 65-62 in the Spokane Regional final, advancing to the national semifinals for the first time in school history.

Long Beach State in 1988 was the last team from the western part of the country other than Stanford to reach the Final Four. During that 25-year span, eight different programs in the West reached the regional finals. But whether it was Long Beach State, Washington, USC, UCLA, Colorado, Utah, Arizona State or Gonzaga, they all came up one game short of advancing ? sometimes at the hands of Stanford.

Not these Golden Bears (32-3), who were picked by President Barack Obama to win the regional in his bracket.

"This is still better than my wildest dreams," Gottlieb said.

The loss ended Georgia coach Andy Landers' hope of reaching the Final Four for the first time since 1999. Georgia last reached the regional finals in 2004 and this was the Lady Bulldogs' 11th trip to the regional finals.

And it nearly became Landers' sixth Final Four.

"They made more plays than we did and they deserve to win the game," Landers said. "I'm disappointed, but I'm proud of our basketball team and the run that we have made."

Shacobia Barbee led Georgia (28-7) with 14 points and 10 rebounds, but the Lady Bulldogs' surprising postseason run that included an upset of Stanford came to a painful end.

"I don't think the words can even explain right now. Disappointed, hurt," said Georgia's Jasmine James, who had 11 points before fouling out. "To have something that you've always wanted to be able to do, just be so close, and to end up getting outworked for it, it hurts."

California will go to the Final Four on the side of the bracket completely blown open by the stunning loss of top-ranked Baylor in the regional semifinals. The Golden Bears will play Tennessee or Louisville in the national semifinals.

It didn't look like another game awaited the Golden Bears, who trailed 49-39 with 6:46 left after Barbee hit a pair of free throws. The Bears got back in it by halftime, overcoming a horrible shooting start, but each run early in the second half was rebuffed by the Lady Bulldogs. Cal missed 18 of its first 19 shots to start the game.

Finally Cal found an answer. Afure Jemerigbe hit her first 3-pointer after missing her previous six attempts. Clarendon scored four straight points and Talia Caldwell got a bucket in the paint. Caldwell then hit a putback of Jemerigbe's missed free throw to tie it at 50.

Tiaria Griffin missed from 3-point range for Georgia and Cal's Brittany Boyd was fouled driving to the rim by James, her fifth foul, leaving Georgia without its floor leader. Boyd hit both free throws and Cal had its first lead since 17-16.

Not having James on the floor had an immediate effect. Georgia turned it over on its next two possessions, helped by a pair of blocked shots by Jemerigbe, the second with 51 seconds left.

But the Bears' free throw struggles that nearly cost them in the second round against South Florida returned when Jemerigbe missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 27 seconds left. Griffin missed another 3-point attempt, but Anne Marie Armstrong got the rebound and scored with 8.5 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. It was Georgia's only field goal over the final 7:45.

"Our whole season has prepped us well for this night," Caldwell said. "Our team's been there, we have done that, so we knew what we needed to get done."

Georgia went up 55-52 when Khaalidah Miller hit a 3 to start overtime, but the Bears then took command. Jemerigbe hit a 3-pointer with 2:48 left to give Cal a 59-55 lead and Clarendon added a rebound putback for a 61-55 advantage with 1:26 remaining.

Barbee hit a pair of free throws with 1:03 left, but instead of fouling, Georgia chose to play defense. Clarendon made them pay, spinning away from Barbee and hitting a 15-footer with 37.9 seconds left for a 63-57 lead.

Georgia got within 64-62, but Clarendon split free throws with 2.1 seconds left and Barbee's desperation shot was off.

"I was smiling a lot in the second half even though we were losing," Clarendon said. "This is why you play basketball for these big moments. Really enjoy them and just relish them."

Timeline: A month of provocations from North Korea

North Korea has delivered a drumbeat of war threats and ominous announcements since March 7, when the United Nations Security Council imposed sanctions against it for conducting a nuclear test in February. Here are the most significant:

? March 7: Before the U.N. vote, a spokesman for Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry says North Korea will exercise its right for a pre-emptive nuclear attack against the United States.

? March 8: The North says it will cancel a hotline and a nonaggression pact with rival South Korea.

? March 11: Following through on a threat made the previous week, Pyongyang says it has nullified the 60-year-old armistice ending the Korean War. South Korea and the U.N. say the North cannot end the pact unilaterally.

? March 12: North Korea state media report that the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, urged front-line troops to be on "maximum alert" and warned that "war can break out right now."

? March 20: Coordinated cyberattacks in South Korea knock out computers and servers at three major TV networks and three banks. The source of the attacks remains under investigation but North Korean involvement is suspected. A week later, organizations of North Korean defectors say their systems were also attacked.

? March 22: The North condemns a U.N. resolution approving a formal investigation into its suspected human rights violations and says it will ignore the measure.

? March 27: North Korea cuts a military hotline to its Kaesong industrial complex, which is jointly run with the South and is the last major example of inter-Korean cooperation. Operations at the complex continued.

? March 29: Kim convenes an "urgent operation meeting" of senior generals just after midnight, signs a rocket preparation plan and orders his forces on standby to strike the U.S. mainland, South Korea, Guam and Hawaii. State media quote him as saying that "the time has come to settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists."

? March 30: North Korea warns that "inter-Korean relations have naturally entered the state of war," and that it would retaliate against any U.S. and South Korean provocations without notice. It says in a statement that provocations "will not be limited to a local war, but develop into an all-out war, a nuclear war."

? March 31: The Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party warns that North Korea's nuclear weapons are "the nation's life" and will not be traded even for "billions of dollars."

? April 2: North Korea's atomic energy department says it will restart facilities at its main Nyongbyon nuclear complex, including a plutonium reactor and a uranium enrichment plant. The U.S. says it would be "extremely alarming" if Pyongyang follows through.

? April 3: North Korea bars South Koreans from going to their jobs at the Kaesong industrial complex, and also closes the border to trucks carrying raw materials for the factories.
