Going for it - Football (gambling)


When a team facing a fourth down decides to try for a new first down instead of punting; if it fails, it loses possession of the ball.

Paraguana Peninsula (sh)




Peninsula, northwestern Venezuela.

Situated between the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Venezuela, it has a low elevation, infertile soil, and a sparse population. It became important in the 1950s and '60s with the development of the petroleum industry. Pipelines lead from the oil fields to the large refineries on the western side of the peninsula, which is accessible to deep-draft tankers.
