Thanks for joining us and stick with ESPN FC for the report and post-match reaction.
For Arsenal, it's another three points and keeps the momentum going after the victory over Reading. Walcott failed to shine throughout much of the match as the central striker, but he earned the penalty that decided the game.
Arsenal secure a hard-fought victory. Wigan will rue missed chances - particularly Kone's one-on-one effort in the first half - but the hosts can be proud of their efforts given the injury problems that have beset them.
Koscielny does well to pressurise Gomez on the edge of the area and Arsenal break away.
Wigan try to work space around the edge of the box. Beausejour, at the second attempt, finds McArthur in the centre but the midfielder can't find the target with his shot.
Sagna tries a throughball for Walcott, but it's straight to the 'keeper.
Koscielny is on for Cazorla.
Gomez shoots against Vermaelen and there are more, slightly less vociferous, shouts for handball.
Gomez unleashes a shot that - the crowd believe - was handballed in the area. Kone could make the shouts irrelevant but Mertesacker does well and Wigan get nothing.
Gomez comes on for Maloney, who has put in a decent showing in attack.
Figueroa puts in a cross from the left, but McArthur can't make anything of it as he heads wide from the edge of the area.
McManaman turns well but Coquelin there to tidy up.
Stam makes a dangerous looking run but ends up too central. He finds McArthur, who knocks it on for Beausejour, but the momentum is lost and Arsenal get it away.
Maloney gets a bit of a soft booking for a push on Coquelin in the centre circle.
Wigan are on top, but they're struggling to make any real headway.
Wigan earn a corner and it appears McManaman has earned a second, but Sagna's interception took a nick off the substitute.
Figueroa once more tries a speculative shot as the corner falls in his direction. Over the bar once again.
Stam centres the ball but Mertesacker makes a vital interception with Kone ready to turn home.
Sagna looks to burst free, but ends up fouling Figueroa.
Wigan win a throw-in from Gibbs.
Coquelin comes on for Podolski. Wenger certainly looking to settle for the one goal here.
Kone is belatedly but correctly given offside.
Wilshere runs into traffic and loses possession.
Stam once more sends over a cross from the right that fails to find its target.
McManaman is on for Di Santo.
Walcott curls the free-kick over the bar. Not a bad effort but Al Habsi was never troubled.
Ramsey comes on for Oxlade-Chamberlain. The winger had been causing problems but Wenger may just want to settle things down at this stage.
Figueroa fouls Wilshere and Arsenal have a free-kick in a potentially dangerous area.
Oxlade-Chamberlain once more makes space for a cross, but Stam is able to head it away.
McArthur feeds Jones on the edge of the area and his shot bounces back off the stanchion.
Wigan get the corner - and a subsequent cross - clear and look to counter.
Oxlade-Chamberlain tries a speculative shot that is deflected behind for a corner.
Kone collects a pass from Beausejour, does brilliantly to make room for the shot, and then forces a save from the 'keeper.
The corner is cleared only as far as Figueroa, whose shot deflected off Arteta and nearly caught Szczesny out.
Beausejour sends in a decent cross and earns another corner.
The Di Santo sinbin explained: the ref noticed, during his chat, that the Argentine was wearing an earring and sent him off the field to remove it.
It's taken short and Jones ends up flicking it out of play.
Maloney sends in a cross that comes off Mertesacker for a corner.
Di Santo is finally allowed back on. We might need to wait until after the game to find out what happened there.
Wigan are still down to ten men - and the crowd are furious. Walcott, in the meantime, fails to make a chance count.
Di Santo is off the field for reasons no one seems to be able to understand.
Di Santo is penalised for a foul on Gibbs, and the ref has a word with him for his constant complaints. The home fans are not happy with the officiating today.
Podolski looks to feed the ball through for Gibbs, but it's overhit and the left-back can't latch onto it.
Wigan look to respond instantly, and McCarthy races at the defence before feeding Beausejour, who hits the ball across goal for a goal kick. Disappointing once more.
GOAL FOR ARSENAL! The Spaniard makes no mistake, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.
Gibbs sends a long cross from the left that Walcott collects out on the right. After playing a one-two with Cazorla, he's bundled over by Beausejour. Arteta steps up...
Gibbs chests the ball down to Szczesny, and it just has enough momentum to reach the goalkeeper.
Oxlade-Chamberlain swings another cross in and Arsenal win a corner. Once more, they're unable to make any real use of it.
Walcott is dispossessed as he attempts to turn and run.
Beausejour sends in a cross from the left that catches a few players on both sides out. Eventually, Maloney handballs and the Gunners win a free-kick.
Arsenal get a cross in from the right but it's out of play for a goal kick, seemingly bouncing off Podolski.
Cazorla wins a free-kick out on the left flank as Stam attempts a bit of skill that ends up with him losing possession.
Pododolski fails to clear the wall, and Oxlade-Chamberlain's blocked follow-up ends up with Al Habsi.
Oxlade-Chamberlain wins a slightly dubious free-kick as his flailing heel ctahces McCarthy as he takes a shot.
Figueroa, famed for his long-range goal against Stoke, attempts a speculative effort that never threatens to cause any problems.
AL HABSI SAVES FROM WALCOTT! Chamberlain cuts back for Walcott, who this time gets a shot away, but he's slightly off balance and the Wigan 'keeper is able to make the save. Great chance for the visitors.
McCarthy makes a burst into the box but takes a touch too many and Arsenal get it clear.
Maloney makes an impressive run down the left, beating Sagna, but Merteseacker shows enough tenacity to force a goal kick.
Oxlade-Chamberlain gets in behind the back after selling Beausejour a dummy before cutting back for Walcott, but Boyce makes a timely interception.
ESPN's Janusz Michallik tweets: "Walcott can play as a striker but tons to learn. Forces some runs. Not instinctive."
Sky pundit Jamie Redknapp says it "does his head in" that tackles like that for which Wilshere was booked are considered verboten these days.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jean Beausejour do battle.
The Wigan defence, despite the injury woes and McCarthy deployed out of position, can be very pleased with how they've handled this first half.
A fairly even first half, with both sides struggling to force any real chances. Arsenal, you suspect, would like to have Giroud available to give them another option.
Walcott looks to collect a pass over the top but has to settle for a throw-in. He's not had too much to work with in this first half.
Beausejour goes through but in the end can't seem to decide whether to cross or shoot and his effort is easily dealt with.
Oxlade-Chamberlain races down the right but Figueroa makes a strong challenge and it's a goal kick to Wigan.
McCarthy jumps up for a challenge and does Wilshere a bit of damage in the process. The ref's called a drop ball.
Di Santo tries his luck from range. While he catches it sweetly, it's comfortably over the bar.
Wilshere fouls Maloney and, amid calls for a red from the home fans, is shown yellow. It was one-footed and looked to be controlled.
The corner is hit deep but Wigan get it clear once more.
Arsenal look to have won a corner from Figueroa, but it hits the corner flag and goes for a throw-in. From the throw-in, Arsenal finally win a corner.
Maloney feeds Beausejour, but the linesman dubiously calls it offside.
A handball is given against Maloney in thw Wigan half, drawing boos from the home faithful.
Beausejour gets to the byline but then sends his cross into row Z.
McArthur does well to win the ball down the right, but his cross is blocked. Stam picks it up and his cross appears to be met by a hand - to the crowd at least - but the ref doesn't deem it handball.
Cazorla finds Walcott in the area, but he's closed down quickly and his shot is blocked. Neat work from the Spaniard, though.
Di Santo receives the ball out on the left, beats Sagna to work an angle, but his centre curls past everyone and out of play.
Stam once more gets himself into an excellent position out on the right, but once more the cross is poor.
McArthur bends a pass out to Stam on the right, but the cross in the end fails to cause any problems.
McCarthy sends a long ball up, losing possession. There haven't been many long balls today - as Martinez noted ahead of the game, these are two teams with a similar philosophy.
Arteta bends the free-kick into the danger area but it's headed clear for a throw-in.
...but then the Ox wins a free-kick from Beausejour out on the right.
Oxlade-Chamberlain tries to wriggle past three or four Wigan players and, inevitably, fails.
KONE MISSES! Di Santo plays a wonderful ball through for Kone but, with only the goalkeeper to beat, the Wigan forward steers wide. That should have been the opener.
The Arsenal fans are now looking to give their team a bit of a lift during a lull in the game.
Beusejour looks to make something happen but Arsenal quickly snuff out the danger, as they have done throughout the game so far.
Gibbs races into the box and cuts back to Walcott, whose shot is blocked. That could easily have been the opener.
Beausejour swings in a cross but Szczesny is able to leave it to go behind.
Wilshere goes down after appearing to have his foot trodden on, but the ref's not interested.
The game's being played a decent tempo but just needs a bit of cutting-edge if we're to see the deadlock broken. Wigan in particular have struggled to turn their build-up play into anything more threatening.
Podolski works a bit of space on the edge of the area before letting fly with a shot that is always rising a ends up high and wide.
Maloney again goes on the attack, forcing the Arsenal defenders onto the backfoot, but his pass for Kone fails to bear fruit.
Di Santo flicks the ball cleverly towards Maloney, whose throughball is misread and collected by Szczesny.
Walcott slides in a dangerous-looking cross but Boyce is able to get it clear.
At the other end, Podolski unleashes a shot that Al Habsi is able to parry and then, a few seconds later, the German sees a shot blocked.
Kone looks to seize on a defensive error and charges at the Arsenal defence. However, when Stam is clear to his right, he attempts a shot from range that does nothing to threaten the keeper.
Arsenal once more fail to make anything of the corner.
CHANCE! Arteta finds Oxlade-Chamberlain in the box and the England winger's shot is pushed behind for a corner.
ESPN FC's Michael Wade tweets: "Cazorla's hat trick against Reading has commentators fawning all over him. Don't think it is that big an achievement myself."
Kone collects a pass over the top of the defence but he's offside. It's not been the tidiest of starts to the game but Wigan are starting to get a foothold.
Neither side is able to hold onto the ball in a lengthy spell in the middle fo the field, but Di Santo eventually has the chance to centre, although his cross is cleared.
Stam eventually gets a cross in but it's hooked clear by Arteta.
There's a cracking atmosphere at the DW Stadium as Wigan look to build an attack through Beausejour.
Arsenal fail to make anything of the corner.
Sagna just keeps the ball in play as he races along the line to earn a corner for the visitors.
Arsenal are looking comfortable, knocking the ball around in these early stages.
KICK OFF Wigan get the game underway!
Roberto Martinez has told Sky it's a "big, big challenge". Injuries have caused problems for the Wigan boss today, although he can at least include captain Gary Caldwell among the bench.
Interestingly, Wigan midfielder James McCarthy will - according to Sky Sports - be playing as Wigan's centre back.
Theo Walcott will once again play in the centre of the Arsenal attack, with Arsene Wenger having praised his efforts in the victory over Reading.

10 Reasons Santa Is Better Than God
- Santa doesn't care if you believe in him or not. He's not that insecure.
- Santa rewards and punishes people based on their deeds, not whether or not they kissed his ass enough. (see #1.)
- Santa's punishment is, at worst, coal. Santa never flooded the planet (Gen.7:21-22,) had pregnant women be ripped up and have their little ones dashed upon rocks (Hos.13:16,) and never threatened anyone with eternal torment in a fiery pit (Matthew 13:41-42.) Santa isn't fucking psychotic.
- Santa's reward for goodness is presents. Something practical that you can use. Something you can get every year. You don't have to be dead to get it.
- Santa doesn't want you to be good for him, or for the reward of presents, or for the fear of coal, but to "be good for goodness sake."
- No one has ever killed, waged war, interfered with school curriculum, attacked science, or interfered with laws and government in Santa's name.Nor has anyone used Santa as an excuse for bigotry against minority groups. You don't see any "Santa hates fags" signs around, do you?
- None of Santa's elves have ever gone rogue and waged war with the North Pole. Santa is a competent leader and keeps his people in line. Or maybe hanging with Santa is just better.
- Santa does not demand brutal human sacrifice on a cross. He'd just appreciate some milk and cookies. And maybe some carrots for the reindeer. Torture? He'll pass.Oh, and he doesn't want any of your money, either.
- NORAD tracks Santa every year. That's just awesome.
You can also get your picture taken with Santa in stores. God has yet to pose with me or my dog.
- Although neither god nor Santa are real, no one judges your character for not believing in Santa.
"Higher Things" Part One: Atheists Know God, Apparently.
I once thought that the Washington Post was a legitimate newspaper with actual journalists, integrity, and interest in facts. Evidently, I was wrong, as has been shown to me by the mere existence of an ongoing column, Higher Things, written by Vasko Kohlmayer, man so devoted to his religion that he has completely divorced himself from reality.
The column is pure fail right from the title of the very first article. "Atheist or agnostic: We all know God" … As I pried my hand away from where it had impacted my face, I could tell already that this was going to be painful.
After I managed to stop smacking my face with my palm every damned time I read that nonsensical title, I started to actually read the article. It's just as illogical as the title would lead any rational person to expect. Hell, maybe it was even worse.
Kohlmayer starts with an anecdote, which was passed along to him from someone else (because those totally make for compelling evidence, right?) about someone he's known who had back pain until he started talking to
himself god. A 55 year old man with back pain? It must be because he was an atheist. Obviously his relief couldn't have come from his body's natural ability to heal over time, or from the help he received at the hospital, it must have been GAWD!
And, being someone who believes the bible, you know that the author took this story as truth. Not only did this actually happen (no need to verify anything like a journalist might, but god heals everyone who asks (never-mind how many Christians yet have persistent health problems). Moreover, that this atheist man knew that there was a god to reach to in time of need, therefore all atheists secretly believe in god, an assertion that is the main thrust of the article.
Hilariously, the author tries to claim personal experience. He claimed to have once been an atheist who knew there was a god, despite the meaning of the word "atheist." I always laugh when people try to claim to be former atheists. Maybe some exist, but for the most part the speaker is just misusing the word to refer to the time before they converted fully (or were "born-again") to their particular religion. Yeah, not really the same thing.
To back of his point, he does what any theist does when they have no real evidence to support their assertions, he quotes the bible. Paul says that god can be clearly seen, therefore everyone secretly believes not only in god, but in this particular version of it. Oh, well, I'm convinced. If a character in a book said it (even a book that has zero credibility with me,) it must be true.
It's difficult to make serious refutations when all a writer does is make nonsensical assertions, with only a fantasy book to back him up. The only response that an unsupported claim deserves is "no." Like the claim that god exists, the claim that atheists secretly believe in god is completely without merit. That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Seriously, the argument for the existence of god, in this post, boils down to "babies, flowers, sunsets, therefore GAWD!" I'm not kidding. I wish I was being facetious here, but I'm not. He really thinks that people secretly believe in god when they see those things.
Obviously, atheists and agnostics don't believe in god. That's what those fucking labels mean. I no more "know" that god exists than I "know" that leprechauns, unicorns, fairies, and elves do. Despite what this guy claims, I have never experienced god (no one has) even though I have tried very hard to while I searched desperately for an excuse to cling to the label "Christian" which had be foisted upon me by adults when I was a child. The assumption that I have had the "epiphany" of feeling god's presence is pulled completely out of the authors own ass and has no basis in reality. He's just making shit up.
I may as well say that the author secretly believes that the Wizards described in the Harry Potter books exist, simply because I do (as far as anyone knows, anyway,) and use the Harry Potter books themselves as evidence. Maybe I'll even pass along a story from someone, who knew someone, who knew someone, who knew someone who had a broken arm, who cast a healing spell on herself and was healed (but of course it took several weeks.) Ta-da, Kohlmayer secretly believes in wizards. And he calls atheists "self-deceived."
I don't secretly believe in your imaginary friend, jackass. Get over yourself. (Seriously, this sort of self-serving bullshit reminds me of all the natalism-obsessed people who obnoxiously insist that I want to ruin my finances, body, and life by having babies like them.) This guy has to believe that we secretly believe in god to make himself feel validated. Facing the fact that some people really don't buy the religious bullshit that he's fallen prey to might cause him to question the rationality of his own beliefs, and he can't have that.
All atheists and agnostics secretly believe in this author's particular version of god. Why? Because Kohlmayer is so insecure that he needs to believe that this is the case. Maybe, deep down, he knows that there really is no god and he's only wasted years of his life on this bullshit.
There's more where this load came from.

The mission of the Houston Methodist Hospital Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology is to provide the clinical training and didactic education necessary to produce highly competent ob/gyn physicians. To provide the best clinical training experience, our residents rotate through several institutions.
Houston Methodist Hospital
Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital
Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital
Houston Methodist Hospital is a 904-bed tertiary referral center, serving southeast Texas and western Louisiana. It is the largest hospital in the Texas Medical Center®, the single largest medical center in the world. There are 775 inpatient beds, 129 ICU beds, and 73 operating rooms. In May 2004, Methodist entered into a 30-year affiliation agreement with Weill Medical College of Cornell University. Along with this agreement has come a strong commitment from Houston Methodist Hospital Board of Directors to establish Methodist as a leader in academic medicine.
Houston Methodist Hospital Board of Directors has committed in excess of 500 million dollars to support the development of clinical care as well as clinical, translational, and basic science research. Houston Methodist Hospital serves as the primary teaching hospital of the residency program. While rotating at Methodist, residents will have a broad exposure to many complex disease processes including numerous vaginal and laparoscopic procedures. Pregnant patients with incredibly rare complications are encountered, cared for under the expertise of our skilled maternal fetal medicine physicians. Gynecologic oncology is strength; Methodist is the co-sponsor of a gynecologic oncology fellowship program together with UTMB Galveston. A program in REIF is being developed, headed by Drs. Timothy Hickman and Laurie McKenzie.
Houston Methodist consists of several outlying hospitals of which Houston Methodist Ob/Gyn residents also rotate to Methodist-Sugar Land Hospital and Methodist Willowbrook Hospital which offer excellent clinical experiences in laparoscopic surgery and urogynecology. The residents do not take night call at Houston Methodist.
Residents currently spend approximately 14 months at Houston Methodist Hospital or its outlying system hospitals, with plans of increasing to 19 months in 2010.
Located in Downtown Houston, and the oldest general hospital in the city, St Joseph is one of the busiest private obstetrics hospitals in the region. Residents rotate on the obstetrical and gynecological services at both the junior and senior resident levels. Residents care for a diverse patient population, and carry their own patient service as well as caring for private patients under the supervision of private faculty physicians. Maternal Fetal Medicine physicians from the University of Texas Medical School in Houston are on site each weekday, and are available 24/7. The hospital has a level III neonatal intensive care unit, a volume of nearly 6,000 deliveries per year, and 24-hour in-house anesthesia.
In total, residents spend approximately 30 months of their training at St Joseph Medical Center.
The Texas Medical Center was established in 1945 through the generous philanthropy of businessman Monroe Dunaway Anderson. Anderson believed that a medical center that consisted of many different hospitals, academic and research institutions, and support organizations should be established in Houston.
Today, there are 45 institutions in the Texas Medical Center dedicated to the highest standards of patient care, research, and education. These institutions include 13 renowned hospitals, two specialty institutions, two medical schools, four nursing schools, and schools of dentistry, public health, pharmacy, and virtually all health-related careers.

Hamburg SV v Bayern Munich: Preview
Although the cities of Hamburg and Bayern Munich are at opposite ends of Germany, this north against south clash is still rated as one of the biggest derbies in German football.
Hamburg have been in the Bundesliga since its inception 50 years ago while Bayern joined soon after, and they have been rivals all this time with something special about their encounters, especially for the fans.
Tomorrow, the HSV Arena stages the 95th clash between two sides who, after recent results, are no longer poles apart.
``It is always a special game, not only for Hamburg, but for any team in the Bundesliga because everybody would like to frustrate and to beat Bayern, and I would like that too,'' said Hamburg's Rafael van der Vaart.
``We have a lot of self-confidence at the moment and we are highly motivated.
``We need to be at our best, otherwise we can't win, but we want to show everybody that our win in Dortmund was not a one-off.''
Bayern will be out to prove that their home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, a result which ended an eight-game winning start to the season, was also a one-off, which has put Hamburg coach and former Bayern midfielder Thorsten Fink on his guard.
``Bayern are always more dangerous after a defeat,'' he said. ``They will want to react now and it all comes down to how we cope with them.
``We have the fans behind us and we are in good form, so we have to be disciplined and I think Bayern were harder to beat in their first six games than they are now.''
Hamburg have not been as hard for Bayern to beat as they have been in the last six years with not one win for the Bavarians in that period.
That record should come to an end tomorrow, just as a new record of consecutive wins should begin for Bayern, according to their forward Arjen Robben, who wore the captain's armband in the midweek DFB-Pokal win over Kaiserslautern.
``We want to start a new streak,'' he said. ``We are up for it and we want to establish our place at the top.''
Franck Ribery could be back in the Bayern squad after missing their last two games while Rafinha will also be included.
Hamburg are without the injured Ivo Ilicevic and Petr Jiracek.

Psychomotor Seizures in Dogs
By Tess Thompson
Epilepsy in its own right is not truly a disease. It is in fact a group of concurrent symptoms that are related to recurrent seizures, fits or convulsions. True or primary epilepsy does not have an identifiable cause and is considered to be hereditary. Secondary or symptomatic epilepsy on the other hand is acquired. It has an identifiable organic cause like brain tumor, head trauma or brain damage due to deficient supply of oxygen to the brain.
Canine and feline epilepsy may be the most common cause of seizures but they are definitely not the only cause. Convulsions and seizures may also occur due to environmental poisoning or food poisoning, low levels of sugar or calcium in the blood, accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, brain injury or infection and liver or kidney disease.
All forms of seizures do not involve convulsions or loss of consciousness. Some may be limited to behavioral changes only. Seizures are actually caused due to an over stimulation of the nerve cells. Excess electrical discharge in the neurons in the central nervous system confuses nerve signals that lead to abnormal behavior. A seizure is thus any period during which such disturbances occur. These disturbances may be minor, major or partial. In dogs, most seizures occur for the first time during the first two years of age.
Psychomotor seizures or focal seizures are a common form of feline and canine seizures. They derive their name from the specific region of the brain responsible for movement and behaviors. Usually the side of the body opposite to the affected side of the brain shows the symptoms produced by psychomotor seizures. These symptoms are known as contralateral symptoms. Psychomotor seizures are also known as Complex Partial Seizures, which are characterized by distortion of the thought process in humans. In dogs these are translated into lip smacking, hysterical running and abdominal distress among other symptoms.
During this type of a seizure, although the dog is conscious he may not be fully aware of his surroundings and is therefore likely to display unusual behaviors. Symptoms may include muscle twitching and other repeated behaviors like:
- Aggression
- Fly catching when none exist or imaginary biting
- Almost non-stop tail chasing or flank sucking
Two typical symptoms of a psychomotor seizure that cause the maximum frustration to owners are flank chewing and tail chasing.
Minor (petit mal) and major (grand mal) seizures normally have distinguishable pre-seizure symptoms known as an aura and post seizure symptoms that may last for a reasonable period after the seizure is over. But in psychomotor seizures the aura and the post seizure phase is not easily distinguishable.
A psychomotor seizure may be followed by abnormal behaviors that last for minutes or hours as well as generalized seizure. Mindless dog behavior should be taken seriously and attended to with the same vigor as you would any other physical disease.

Product Information
Hornady TAP ammunition is a good choice for personal defense, and is used extensively by law enforcement agencies. This due in part to the fact that the propellants used in the loading of this ammunition were engineered to minimize muzzle flash. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.
Special Note from Hornady Manufacturing:
We are making a running change to the TAP ammunition. This includes changing from Blackened Nickel Cases to Bright Silver Nickel cases. Using the Silver Nickel cases has all the advantages of Blackened Nickel and the added benefit of being able to see the cartridges more clearly in low light conditions as well as when checking for loaded chambers.

Development center starts construction
CAMP PENDLETON —Construction is underway on a $13.3 million child development center that will soon serve 250 Camp Pendleton infants, toddlers and school age kids. San Raphael Child Development Center is being built on the south end of Camp Pendleton near the Main Gate. Construction began in January and is expected to be completed by February 2012.
When completed San Raphael Child Development Center will be a 25,000 square-foot school with 18 classrooms, a 1,100 square-foot kitchen, lobby and administrative offices. Classrooms and offices will open into a central 500 square-foot piazza and atelier.
The piazza and atelier provide a multipurpose room and artists studio for children to practice self-expression.
"Children are allowed and encouraged to express themselves with art, easels, tables and display areas," John Pyjar, principal-in-charge for domusstudio architecture, said. "Interaction between children, sense of community and parental involvement are encouraged in the piazza."
The child development center will be built with environmental friendly recycled tile, carpet and wall finishes, solar panels and low water landscaping.
The playground will have natural vegetation, artificial turf and playground equipment made from recycled materials. There will also be shade structures and nature pathways that will allow children to connection to the environment and explore nature.
The design of the child development center supports the Reggio Emilia Approach that will be used for instruction. The Reggio Emilia teaching method focuses on the principals of child self-mastery, responsibility and discovery through teacher reinforcement.
"The layout of the school's administration and classroom buildings is designed to open into a central, secure gathering piazza," Pyjar said. "The design and massing break down the large child development center building into smaller residential scale masses and forms to create spaces familiar and emotionally safe to the children while providing rich and varied experiential spaces."
The new child development center will help serve the 45,000 Camp Pendleton families who live on and off base. Currently there are six child development centers on base.
All child development centers located on Camp Pendleton are run by the Family Care department of Marine Corps Community Services.

I have been contemplating getting this done for awhile. I recently got snow leopard to update my macbook. So I'd like to load it on my custom built i7. The i7 is currently dualbooting with Windows 7 64 and tinyXP. I have 2x 640gb wd caviar black sata drives partitioned into 4 equal drives. 1 for 7 1 for tiny xp. want to use 1 for osx. and leave the last one as an audio drive for protools.
here are the i7 specs:
I have an external HD (USB or FW) with a partition that I just made to install snow leopard on my macbook. so its a bootable partition with the full snow leopard img on it. I still have the dmg so if I needed to modify this partition so it will run on my pc I can do that. I just need to know where to start....
Thanks in advance! Also im looking forward to becoming an active member of the forum!

Windows Workstation Auditing
The demanding nature of User Workstations Auditing arises from the need of a secure corporate network environment. The user actions monitored, audited and reported by ADAudit Plus on the corporate network are 'Logon Duration', 'Logon Failures', 'Logon History', 'Terminal Services Activity', and 'Users Logon Duration on Computers'. Now, Administrators can view the exact time of User Workstation Logon & Logoff time along with the Logon Duration. This critical data is at the utmost ease to view in the event of unauthorized entry or regular monitoring. Reports can be scheduled and also be monitored with ADAudit Plus 'One View' Dashboard, which allows for critical reports based on Domains to be viewed as Graphical Reports / Summary View along with the related Alerts. Instant email alerts are sent to configured addresses in case of unauthorized / critical user activity in the Windows Active Directory Environment.
Windows User Workstation Audit Highlights
Exhaustive Pre-Configured Reports and Email Alerts

Auburn University offers a variety of elective courses for students. Within the College of Liberal Arts, the program of Women's Studies offers just under 20 classes. This past semester, a junior named Laurel McQuinn enrolled in Introduction to Women's Studies. Unfamiliar with the program, McQuinn quickly learned how much an elective course could offer.
"To be honest, I was just looking for an easy A," said McQuinn. "Your first couple years as a college student are usually filled with your core curriculum classes. Once I became an upperclassman I realized I still had a few elective hours that needed to be filled."
Students at Auburn University have the ability to look up classes for their next semester by using AU Access, but that is not where McQuinn learned about Women's Studies courses.
"I actually learned about the classes from a friend of mine," said McQuinn. "I really had no idea that Auburn even had a program about Women's Studies, but much to my surprise, I have learned a lot."
Introduction to Women's Studies introduces issues and critical information that some students have never heard of before. This course offers a new understanding of how Women's Studies has changed over the years and suggests new perspectives for those enrolled. Feminist approaches to academics, appreciation for the diversity of feminist thoughts and experiences and communication through lectures and writing is included in this particular course.
"I have never been a fan of writing, but the things we write about in my Women's Studies class keep me interested," said McQuinn. "I don't mind the writing assignments anymore because I have gained so much knowledge from doing them. I think some people have the wrong idea of what these courses offer."
McQuinn says that a lot of students stray away from Women's Studies classes because she thinks they are intimidated of what might be taught. However, this program is not about forcing beliefs or ideas on students. The Women's Studies program at Auburn is like any other course that is provided by the university. Each professor wants to engaged students in learning, but keep them interested in the material at the same time.
"I definitely believe people need to do more research about them before passing up the opportunity to take these courses. It isn't about power for women or making you believe that women are better. There aren't too many guys that take these classes, obviously. I really do think that this program is beneficial to those who give the courses a chance. You never know, you could learn something, too!"

GFW catwalk report: Westminster
By admin on June 10th, 2008
The Westminster show is always a treat and with people like GQ ed Dylan Jones in the audience you know the calibre is going to be high.
Sarah Senouci's collection consisted of impeccably-finished English summer attire gently infused with retro Americana. Stand By Me met Brideshead Revisited as romantic foppishness combined with dusty farmboy.
Check and and madras shirts were accessorised with bandanas and a windcheater gave a modern touch. Trousers were either of the slouchy Oxford Bags variety or aristocratic britches.

Saints Wrap up Calendar Year with Win Over Anderson
Contact: Steve Cunha, firstname.lastname@example.com
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia men's basketball team wrapped up the 2011 calendar year with a 70-49 victory over Anderson University on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Hall.
There is no place like home for the Saints (6-5, 1-0 PBC) who improved their home record to 5-1 at home on the young season. The loss snaps a four-game winning streak for Anderson (7-3, 2-0 SAC).
With the win the Saints improve to 3-1 against the South Atlantic Conference this season.
The Trojans held their only lead of the game after Taylor Shugart hit a jumper one minute into the game to put them up 2-0 and the Saints responded with a 26-8 run over the next 10 minutes to pull away.
North Georgia had their best defensive effort of the season, holding Anderson to 28.6 percent shooting from the field.
The Saints held their biggest lead of the half when Clarence Tillman made a jumper with two and half minutes remaining to put the home team up 31-14.
Over the final two minutes of the opening half both teams traded baskets and after Travis Core made a pair of free throws, the Saints took a 36-20 advantage heading into the break.
North Georgia picked up right where they left off in the second half, controlling the pace of the play and forcing the Trojans to take tough shots.
The Saints stretched their lead to as many as 26 with three minutes remaining in the game when Tillman stole an errant pass and threw down a tomahawk jam much to delight of the home crowd.
Once again the two-headed monster of Scott Windom and Tillman led the Saints offensive attack. Windom poured in 18 points and Tillman scored a game-high 22 and pulled 11 boards to register his first double-double of the season.
Freshman Travis Core continued to impress, scoring 10 points off the bench while adding four rebounds and four assists.
The Trojans struggled in their half court sets all afternoon, turning the ball over 15 times that led to 14 Saints' points.
North Georgia's control of the tempo is evident in the box score as they outscored the Trojans 12-0 in fast break points.
Anderson was led by Nick Trull who scored 11 points, despite shooting a season-worst 3-17 from the field, while Taylor Shugart added eight points and eight rebounds.
The Saints return to action on Tuesday, January 3, when they travel to Morrow, Georgia, to face Clayton State in the first game of a two-game Peach Belt Conference road trip to open the 2012 calendar year.

You can also register/renew as an individual member. Individual memberships can be secured through U.S. Figure Skating Online or by calling Member Services at 719.635.5200.
2. Coaches Registration (requires liability insurance and background screening)
All coaches must complete the U.S. Figure Skating registration requirement in order to be allowed to instruct/coach at the following sanctioned activities:
- International competitions on behalf of Team USA
- Developmental International competitions
- Qualifying and nonqualifying competitions
- Test sessions
- All performances including ice shows, exhibitions, recitals and carnivals
- Any other sanctioned club activities (including club ice)
Cost is $30 per year and includes:
- Background screening
- Cost of insurance is in addition to registration fee
Background Screening Information
U.S. Figure Skating has established a working relationship with the National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCSI), which will provide comprehensive background screening services. NCSI is one of the leaders in providing background screening to youth-serving organizations. U.S. Figure Skating has worked with NCSI to ensure that this process is convenient, secure and confidential. The process for screening is simple and generally takes about five minutes. When U.S. Figure Skating receives a "green light" from NCSI and has verified liability insurance, the registration process will be finalized, and a U.S. Figure Skating coaches registration card will be issued. In addition, the coach's name will appear on the list of registered coaches available on the U.S. Figure Skating website.
To complete the registration, you will need the following:
- If you have a membership number from U.S. Figure Skating, please visit the Members Only site to begin the coaches registration. NOTE: You will need your membership number and password.
- If you DO NOT have a membership number OR have not had a U.S. Figure Skating membership in the last two years, please contact Member Services and type "COACHES REGISTRATION ID" in the subject line and include your name in the body of the email.
To complete the background screening, follow the link on the coaches registration form. You will need the following:
- Social Security number (highly secure)
- Name history - past five years
- Address history - past five years
- U.S. Figure Skating membership number
Review of background search findings: Should an applicant contest a U.S. Figure Skating decision to deny participation as a coach in U.S. Figure Skating activities based on a "red light" finding from the background search, the applicant has the right to appeal the decision to U.S. Figure Skating pursuant to a process established by U.S. Figure Skating.
Note: If you are under the age of 18, you do not need to complete the coach registration at this time as NCSI cannot perform screens on persons under 18.
After the registration is complete, please print a temporary registration card and carry it with you to sanctioned events and competitions. The actual registration card will be mailed to you. Treat this as a driver's license; while you may not always be asked to show it, you are required to have it with you at all U.S. Figure Skating events at which you are coaching.
3. Continuing Education Requirement (CER) Compliance
U.S. Figure Skating requires all coaches who are coaching at nonqualifying, qualifying or test track competitions and/or test sessions to fulfill a Continuing Education Requirement (CER) beginning this year. This will be done in the form of online or in-person courses, followed by an online test through the PSA online learning system.
- All CER courses are available online through the PSA.

Research Interests
My work examines how exercise and stress affect the immune system in young and aged subjects. My current research examines the role of regulatory T cells and how exercise can alter the functional ability of these cells. I have a passion for strength and resistance training and how the musculoskeletal system can be maintained and enhanced throughout the lifespan. Academically I have an absolute love for animal and environmental physiology, and how different individuals and species adapt to wildly varying climates and conditions.

Complementary Therapy Program Program does not offer yoga classes, but recognizes the benefits of them. Therefore, the following information is provided. This service may be offered in the future.
The Sanskrit definition of "yoga" is the union of body and mind. Iyengar, Ashtanga , Kripalu and Sivananda are some of the different styles of yoga available. These styles and many others are what is known as "hatha yoga." Hatha yoga focuses on the physical body. Anyone at any age can begin a yoga practice.
BenefitsYoga can be used as a complement to cancer treatment and after treatment to help the healing process. A yoga practice may decrease stress, calm the mind, relax and invigorate the body, and increase mobility. Many postures help stretch and strengthen the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Other exercises help improve body mechanics, posture, and strengthen the bones.
What's Involved?Hatha yoga is practiced through the use of an extensive series of body postures, movements, and breathing techniques and involves bending, twisting, and holding body positions in a specific way. The physical postures are performed while standing, sitting, or lying on the floor. An experienced teacher will consider your physical condition and needs to determine what postures are appropriate for you. The practice of yoga does not require spiritual beliefs or religious observances.
Choosing an InstructorYoga classes are offered at fitness centers, yoga studios and hospitals. Yoga teacher training varies widely, so ask instructors about their training and credentials. You may try several different styles and/or teachers before you find one that is suitable for your needs. There are also numerous books and videos about yoga available.

Resilience and Economic Growth in Arid Lands – Accelerated Growth aims to increase economic resilience among pastoral communities in Kenya's arid counties by strengthening the livestock value chain. The activity will foster more sustainable management of natural resources, address issues related to governance of grazing land, water and other natural resources help mitigate conflicts, and allow for diversification of the livelihoods of pastoralists. Interventions will target actors at all levels of the value chain—from livestock keepers to middlemen, traders, transporters and buyers— in order to improve incomes and stimulate growth.
USAID has created a constellation of seven Development Labs that harness the intellectual power of great American and international academic institutions and that catalyze the development and application of new science, technology, and engineering approaches and tools to solve some of the world's most challenging development problems.
The Kenya Arid Lands Disaster Risk Reduction program works to increase access to clean water and improve sanitation and hygiene in Kenya's arid lands. The program is part of a larger effort to assist the Kenyan government and local communities to increase their resilience to droughts and flooding caused by a changing climate while simultaneously increasing access to improved water, sanitation and hygiene services.
The project will promote value chain growth and diversification, increase the productivity and incomes of smallholder farmers and other actors along the value chain working in the dairy, maize and other staples and horticulture sectors. The project will work with more than 30 Kenyan government and private sector organizations.
The Kenya Horticulture Competitiveness Project, part of the U.S. Government's "Feed the Future" initiative, is improving food security and nutrition and raising incomes for over 200,000 smallholder farmers. The project is helping farmers to grow more and better quality fruits, vegetables, and flowers, with a special focus on strengthening the value chains related to eight crops: Sweet potato, Irish potato, passion fruit, mango, banana, tomato, cabbage, peas and beans.
Part of the U.S. Government's Feed the Future Initiative, Resilience and Economic Growth in Arid Lands – Improving Resilience is reducing hunger and poverty, increasing resilience and social stability, and building a foundation for economic growth among pastoral communities in Kenya's arid and semi-arid lands. It unites humanitarian and development assistance to build resilience and expand economic opportunities in the arid lands through disaster risk and conflict reduction, natural resource management, and strengthening of livestock and other sectors.
Within Central America a rapidly deteriorating security situation has led to significantly decreased levels of citizen safety, fueled in part by the social and economic exclusion of large parts of the population. The U.S. government has developed a new vision on how to assist Central American governments as they work to address this critical issue.
The Global Give Back Circle is an innovative education, empowerment, and employment transition program for disadvantaged girls in Kenya. The three core goals are to transition each girl to become empowered, selfless and capable. Girls receive scholarships and mentorship, and in return have to offer voluntary service to their community while mentoring the next generation of scholarship awardees. Over 21 partners from the public and private sectors support the project, including Microsoft, Safaricom, Standard Chartered Bank Kenya, MasterCard Foundation, Equity Bank, Deloitte & Touche Kenya, KPMG Kenya, PWC Kenya, Barclays Bank Kenya, Ernst & Young USA and USAID.

John and Doris Norton have donated many millions to educational, medical and cultural programs in Tucson.
Their latest gift is personal.
The Paradise Valley philanthropists generously gave $1 million check to support prostate cancer research and establish the John Norton Endowed Chair for Prostate Cancer Research at the Arizona Cancer Center. Doris and John Norton announced their gift at the 2008 Evening in the Park, an annual dinner and silent auction held by the Phoenix Friends of the Arizona Cancer Center. Frederick Ahmann, MD, an oncologist who treated Norton for prostate cancer, fills the chair.
"I made Dr. Ahmann promise I would die of something else," says Norton, a prostate cancer survivor since 1991. "I thought I would do something nice for him."
"We are on the threshold of new and better ways to treat prostate cancer," adds Norton. "We must financially support people with the qualities and abilities of Dr. Ahmann so that they are able to concentrate on research that will further our knowledge and provide better treatment of this disease."
A professor of medicine and surgery, Ahmann has developed screenings and treatments for prostate cancer.
"There is no more deserving physician scientist to receive a named prostate cancer chair," says Arizona Cancer Center Director David S. Alberts, MD.
After Norton's prostate cancer returned several years ago, Norton says his physician in Phoenix told him, "If you want to go to the best oncologist in the Southwestern United States, you need to go to the University of Arizona and see Dr. Ahmann."
"I would like to make sure there is a wider and more in-depth recognition of the Arizona Cancer Center," says Norton, "so that more people in Maricopa County will not only take advantage of it and use it, but support it financially."

Pope shows he's no twit with polite pontifications
Apple will be literally thanking the heavens today after Pope Benedict XVI sent his first tweet from an iPad. You just can't buy that kind of publicity.
According to news.com.au @ponitfex, as he is known on Twitter, exceeded one million followers last night after his debut tweet. Take that, Justin Bieber.
Here's what the Tweet said:
"Dear friends, I am pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter. Thank you for your generous response. I bless all of you from my heart."
Awww, thanks @pontifex and right back at you. Nice to see someone behaving themselves on Twitter for once, hopefully it will rub off.
He's certainly got some leverage. The @pontifex handle is distributed in eight languages and the 85 year old is also up for questions, having responded to his many followers throughout the day.
By the way, the Vatican has asked that any questions of faith need to be sent using #askpontifex hashtag.
Imagine the possibilities – confession on DM? Weddings by proxy? Mass tweeted live? Not to mention speculation about who @pontifex will follow - @God perhaps?
Yep, @pontifex will be one to watch.

M'mmmm – the Vatican is giving children cancer via its Vatican Radio.
I can only imagine what it will do to our children via Twitter?
john says:
I just can't help thinking of the south park episode that sums up the catholic church's and the pope's inability to deal with the problems facing Catholicism.
You can see what I mean at 1min16secs.
I saw the same message in Sydney Mardigras in the late 1980's when some older men got dressed up as bishops and had leashes around young men - I just thought it was funny, I didn't realise it was a message and it was real.
Now I can see the message is main stream.
Philosopher says:
sounds good, if it teaches the kiddies to learn classical Latin. I would imagine this is the language he uses in his tweets? De gustibus non est disputandum.
NESLIHAN KUROSAWA says:
Hi Lucy,
Spreading the message of peace and goodwill by someone like the Pope Benedict XVI through one of the biggest social media networks like Twitter, seems to be very timely indeed just in time for Christmas. It only goes to show that we are never too old to learn and enjoy what the latest technology offers to us all. it is all about closing the gaps in our society and reaching our goals somehow. I wish that we had more religious and community leaders doing the same thing. Because once we get to know the other belief and cultural systems, our preconceived ideas and prejudices might disappear for good, hopefully!
Instead of treating the others from different backgrounds who may not be exactly the same way as ours with suspicion and distrust, we could actually learn much more from one another. It is all about forgetting the differences that divide us and concentrate on the things which might unite us for a change! So should we all wish and pray for having more peace, less hunger and misery in our world? Is it all about being informed about the power of positive thinking and may be as well as the positive influence of the latest craze we tend to call Twitting. Kind regards.
Justin of Earlwood says:
Sorry, you think the Pope using an iPad is a publicity boon for Apple?
There is no surer sign that Apple has lost its edginess than one of the worlds best known, most uncool octogenarians using their products.
Nathan says:
Yes, how terrible, someone out there is using twitter to spread positive messages, as opposed to indulging in trolling and abuse - truly, society is going to hell in a handbasket that this travesty is taking place! Don't force me to listen to your mindless, brainwashing, Christian sermons, it distracts me from spreading my own mindless, brainwashing, anti-institution rhetoric!
Some of you people really need to get a grip. That, or up your medication a bit, seems to be slipping.
jamie says:
FYI The Queen of England prefers a Samsung Galaxy Tablet over the iPad.
How this information even warrants an article of its own speaks volumes of the insecurities of the said community.
sunny says:
I would have thought Ricky Ponting already had the @pontifex tag locked down ..or some tag sitter who could have made a fortune selling it back to the Pope.
Augustus Caesar says:
Rather than sending out his meaningless blessings Jozef would be better employed chasing all those Paedophile Priests, including a few from Australia, he is hiding in Vatican City out of the place.
Oh! Silly old me, he is only carrying on a habit he became addicted to when he covered-up for an offending priest or two in Austria.
Bring back the old, decent, honest religions & gods we used to have. We had a god for everything. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly and what fun they all were!
Yawn says:
Omg what a surprise. Religion-haters are on here bleating their protests and stupidity once again. It's getting really old people. Your once loud pig-like squeal about how bad religion is is just a faint buzz….like a tiny little mosquito. Have some respect for those who have faith in something. I don't agree with you but I tolerate your (ridiculous) views. Grow up, stop being a bogan and set an example for the younger generation. Who will teach our children to accept other races, cultures and religions? You wont but count on the fact that I will.

Collection Overview
Table of contents
Correspondence, reports, membership and personnel files, judicial and investigatory dossiers, administrative files and registers, and videorecordings relating to political conditions in, and governance of, Iraq. Collected by the Iraq Memory Foundation from the Ba'th Regional Command headquarters and from secondary sources.
The Hiẓb al-Ba'th al-'Arabī al-Ishtirākī (Ba'th Arab Socialist Party) came to power in Iraq through a military coup in July 1968. Over time, party members systematically penetrated all governmental and military institutions. The Ba'th Party was able to influence or control the Iraqi government in two ways. One was through government employees and military personnel who were also party members. The second was the party's ability to influence governmental decisions at lower levels. Because the party had units that were functionally parallel to those of the government, the party could monitor activities in all government units.
