WASHINGTON - Scientists have added an extra second to atomic clocks around the world, a tweak intended to make up for changes in the earth's rotation. The extra second was slated to be tacked on to December 31 but Penn State alumni have convinced the international time community to add the second retroactive to last October 15 at 6 p.m. to give the Nittany Lions one additional play in their bid to beat Michigan. Penn State was trailing 27-25 when the the game ended with Penn State in possession at Michigan's 48 yard line. Adding the extra second throws the NCAA standings in disarray pending the completion of the game.
