---- — PLATTSBURGH — The Press-Republican is kicking off Press-Republican Bingo on Tuesday.
Readers will find an official game card inside that day's print edition of the Press-Republican, with the first number being drawn on Wednesday.
One letter-number combination will be published each day. Patient (and lucky) players will ultimately get the chance to cash in on a $1,000 grand prize in the bingo game, which is sponsored by Parker Chevrolet.
"We like to sponsor things that are fun, and I like that people will get a lot of enjoyment out of opening the paper every day for their number and seeing Parker Chevrolet's name tied to this," said Rolla Parker, owner of Parker Chevrolet in Champlain.
"One thousand dollars would make a great down payment on a Chevy," he said with a laugh.
"We're always looking for ways to involve our readers, and we wanted to give not only our subscribers but our single-copy purchasers additional enjoyment over the next couple of months through the paper," said P-R Circulation Director Jim Frenya.
"We chose bingo for this readership game because we know it's popular in the North Country."
As each number is published, players will need to fill in the corresponding space on their game cards.
Cash prizes of $25 will be awarded to the first players who submit their cards to the Press-Republican with a completely filled row, column or diagonal.
One lucky player who fills all the spaces on his or her card will receive a grand prize of $1,000.
The game will be ongoing until all prizes have been awarded.
Non-subscribers can get in on the action by picking up a bingo card, while supplies last, at the Press-Republican office at 170 Margaret St., Plattsburgh. They will be able to drop in to check the announced number on any given day without having to purchase a copy of that day's paper. (Numbers won't be available over the phone, or by fax or email.)
Game cards are limited to one per household. Players must be at least 18 years of age to enter, and only original Press-Republican bingo cards will be accepted for validation and to claim of any prizes.
Any decisions made by game judges will be final.

Mills says Jamaican coaches excel despite serious challenges
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The man behind the global exploits of Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake says that Jamaican coaches, using meagre resources, have produced world-beaters and deserve a lot of credit.
Glen Mills, president and head coach of Racers Track Club, says the country's coaches are able to produce the fastest athletes on the planet, despite the challenges.
"It's a fantastic thing what they have been able to accomplish given the resources that is available to them," Mills declared.
Mills' athletes, Bolt, Blake, Warren Wier, Kemar Bailey-Cole and Rosemary White contributed to seven of Jamaica's 12 medals at the London Olympics.
"They have the talent and our coaches must be lauded for their ingenuity of producing Olympic champion and world champion in less than ideal conditions," said Mills who spent 22 years as Jamaica's head coach until three years ago.
Jamaican athletes have been enjoying world domination over the sprint events and their brilliant performances in last month's Olympics in London remain a major talking point in athletics.
Bolt and Blake, gold and silver medalist in the Olympic 100 and 200metres respectively, were among athletes contributing to Jamaica's best ever performance at the games.
Mill, 62, who, under his watch, inspired Jamaica to 71 world and 33 Olympic athletics medals, says athletes have trusted his advise over the years.
"I am a person who they are proud of and … they can trust me and take my advice and opinions, and that it means a lot to them" said Mills.
"It's always good to know that the persons you are working with give you the kind of respect that you worked for and I really appreciate their attitude and support towards me".

Soldiers complete live-fire exercise at Castlemartin
12:21pm Friday 24th January 2014 in News
LIVE FIRING: Lance Corporal Thomas Warner, from Aberavon, Port Talbot, 22, has been honing his skills shooting general purpose machine guns from the Husky vehicle. (3620016)
SOLDIERS from 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards (The Welsh Cavalry) have completed a five-day live-firing exercise on the Castlemartin ranges.
Exercise Pashtun Tempest involved more than 100 soldiers from the regiment operating the new Husky and Foxhound armoured vehicles, to prepare for a potential summer tour to Afghanistan – the final tour that British troops will be involved in.
Lieutenant Colonel William Davies, Commanding Officer for the QDG, said: "We've got more than 100 soldiers training here this week. We'll have a couple of roles on tour and, should we assume those roles, one in particular would involve us working closely with the Afghan National Army
"It will be a very interesting experience witnessing the closing days and months of a campaign that has been going on for more than a decade. It will be very different to previous tours we've been on and in historical terms it's a significant moment."
A summer tour would mark the QDG's third deployment on Operation Herrick in Afghanistan since 2008.
"Everyone will be looking forward to it but it's not without trepidation," said Lt Col Williams.
"Afghanistan is not for the faint-hearted and there are potentially bad things that can happen but we're doing a lot of training to mitigate against that and keep the threat to a minimum."
The Castlemartin range allowed soldiers to fire their personal weapons accurately before progressing to more complicated shoots, culminating in more complex scenarios where soldiers in section, troop and squadron-sized groupings undertake live-firing manoeuvres with support from mortars and airborne assets.

HERE Maps API - Advanced Routing
This article explains how to request routing information using the HERE Maps API and display routing details on screen. The structure of a route response is discussed in depth. Internationalization of the route instructions is also discussed.
Note: Use of Nokia's routing service is subject to terms and conditions, specifically it is prohibited to provide real time turn-by-turn navigation services, however the routing service may be used in most applications, provided that the routing itself is not the primary functionality. The relevant section of the terms and conditions is repeated below:
4 (i) You will not: use or incorporate, without Nokia's prior written permission, the Service, Location API Developer Package or any part thereof, in connection with any Application or other service (a) which has the primary functionality of providing turn-by-turn navigation services, real time navigation or route guidance; or (b) where such Application's functionality is substantially similar to the HERE Maps or navigation/location-based products distributed by Nokia or its affiliates; or (c) which has the primary purpose of capturing or collecting end user data;
The full terms and conditions for the use of the location APIs can be found here
Although a simple point-to-point routing example may be found on the API explorer, it does not go further than displaying a route on screen. Further development is required in order to full utilize the power of the routing service and obtain the most from the API. Given that it is usually easier to modify an existing example rather than build one from scratch, this example attempts to fill a gap by providing a series of library functions to do the following:
- Calculate a route based on two or more waypoints as defined by parameters in the query string.
- Alternatively, calculate a route based on two or more addresses defined in the query string.
- Display the shortest route found on a map on screen.
- Interrogate the details of the route response and display natural language turn-by-turn instructions for each of the maneuvers required.
- Offer alternative information for an international audience (e.g displaying miles rather than kilometers, turn-by-turn instructions in different languages. )
Tip: Since April 2012, the HERE Maps website has now started supporting routing deep links, e.g. to find the route from Madrid to Marseille via Barcelona, use the following URL: http://maps.nokia.com/drive/Madrid/Barcelona/Marseille . Creating these URLs would allow you to swiftly incorporate a desktop and mobile friendly solution, without the need to build everything from scratch provided you don't need to keep a user on your website. The basic commentary for this Worked Example makes the assumption that you wish provide your own routing solution from scratch in order to keep the user on your website. The library functions provided allow you to create, style and place the generated routing instructions where you see fit.
Preliminary Preparation
Prior to making a routing request, we need at least two waypoints, a start point and a destination. These are supplied by the query string parameters.
Parsing Query Parameters
The reading in of query parameters has been discussed in a previous article. A standard Library function called splitQueryString() has been created for splitting a query string into parts. This can used to extract addresses and/or geocoordinates from the request which can then be used as the input waypoints to calculate the route. For extended character sets (e.g. Chinese) it has been assumed that the addresses have been appropriately URI encoded, and therefore need to be decoded prior to use.
function splitQueryString() {
var param = new Array();
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var parms = query.split('&');
for (var i=0; i<parms.length; i++) {
var pos = parms[i].indexOf('=');
if (pos > 0) {
var key = parms[i].substring(0,pos);
var val = parms[i].substring(pos+1);
param[key] = decodeURI(val);
return param;
var param = splitQueryString();
It remains to decide the format of the query string to be parsed. Given that people tend to think in terms of addresses, it would be useful to accept a series of addresses in the format below:
However geocoding addresses (that is transforming them into latitude/longitude) is an inexact science, and no consideration has been given to the fact that the address may be misspelt or the address format may be wrong. It would be more accurate if geolocations could be specified by latitude and longitude directly, so the following format is also supported.
In order to support both of these waypoint formats, the first 10 parameters addr0...addr9 and lat/long0...lat/long9 are parsed in the function below.
var addresses = new Array();
var geoCodedWaypoints = new Array();
var expectedWaypoints = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++){
if ((param['addr' + i] === undefined) == false){
addresses.push(param['addr' + i]);
if (((param['lat' + i] === undefined) == false) && ((param['lat' + i] === undefined) == false)){
geoCodedWaypoints.push(new nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate
(parseFloat(param['lat' + i]), parseFloat(param['long'+ i])));
Geocoding addresses
If the user has supplied the waypoints as free text addresses, it is necessary to convert these into geo-coordinates before calculating the route. In order to reduce processing time, these calculations can be made concurrently. The details of how to make concurrent search requests has been discussed in a previous article. Whenever a geocode response has been obtained, an entry is added to the geoCodedWaypoints array. Once all the addresses have been processed, the map can be set up, and the calculation of the route invoked.
var i = addresses.length;
while(i--) {
searchTerm :addresses[i],
onComplete: new searchManager(i).onSearchComplete
function searchManager($index) {
this.$index = $index;
this.onSearchComplete = function (data, requestStatus) {
// If the search has finished we can process the results
if (requestStatus == "OK") {
geoCodedWaypoints [$index] = data.location.position;
addressContainer.objects.add(new nokia.maps.map.StandardMarker
( geoCodedWaypoints [$index],{text: ($index + 1)}));
//increment the counter to notify another manager has finished
} else if(requestStatus === "ERROR") {
// we'll also increment in case of an error
// if all managers are finished, we call the final function
if(managersFinished === addresses.length) {
// We can now continue with known Geolocations
// It does no harm in focusing on the appropriate area prior to making the
// routing calculation.
// hence we get the bounding box of the container
var bbox = addressContainer.getBoundingBox();
// if the bounding box is null then there are no objects inside
// meaning no markers have been added to it
if (bbox != null) {
// we have at least one address mapped so we zoomTo it
Making the route request and deciphering the result
Having obtained two waypoints, we can now make the route request. This consists of creating a router adding a callback function, making the request and obtaining the result. The code here is basically a repeat of the simple route example in the developer playground, and described in the Simple routing article. The main processing of the route occurs in the onRouteCalculated() method and will be discussed in greater detail below. In the example below, we are obtaining the shortest route for a vehicle - obviously the mode and type of transport may be altered as required.
var route;
var router = new nokia.maps.routing.Manager(); // create a route manager;
router.addObserver("state", onRouteCalculated);
var modes = [{
type: "shortest",
transportModes: ["car"],
options: "",
trafficMode: "default"
router.calculateRoute(waypoints, modes);
The function onRouteCalculated() will be called when a route is calculated. Assuming a route has been returned we can:
- Display a polyline showing the route on the map. (this is the same as the Playground example)
- Display textual instructions of the list of each of the maneuvers which make up the route.
- Add a small marker on each maneuver point which shows the associated text instruction and more visual information (i.e. Junction view and turnpoint).
In order to understand the details of the route processing it is necessary to understand the anatomy of a route:
- A route consists of one or more legs. A leg is is the route between two of the specified waypoints. A simple route will only have one leg. A route with intermediate waypoints (i.e go via.... ) will have multiple legs.
- legs consist of a series of maneuvers. A maneuver is a location where the driver must decide on an action (e.g. turn left here). Each maneuver will have an associated location and an associated turn instruction.
- The route's shape defines all of the twists and turns that make up the route in order to display the polyline on screen. The geometry is a series of geolocations, but only some of them have an associated maneuver,
since a road may bend round a series of corners, but the driver can only make a decision to turn at a junction.
Taking the first returned route, we then need to walk through each maneuver in turn to extract the necessary routing information:
var onRouteCalculated = function (observedRouter, key, value) {
if (value == "finished") {
var routes = observedRouter.getRoutes();
var mapRoute = new nokia.maps.routing.component.RouteResultSet(routes[0]).container;
route = routes[0];
display.zoomTo(mapRoute.getBoundingBox(), false, "default");
// Build human readable instructions for each maneuver.
var instructions = "";
var details = "
";
for (var i = 0; i < route.legs.length; i++){
for (var j = 0; j < route.legs[i].maneuvers.length; j++){
details = details + "
";
maneuver = route.legs[i].maneuvers[j];
instructions = route.legs[i].maneuvers[j].instruction;
addMarker( maneuver, 0, instructions);
details = details + zoomTolink(maneuver.position) + instructions;
details = details + "
";
details = details + "
";
document.getElementById("details").innerHTML = details;
} else if (value == "failed") {
// Something has gone horribly wrong e.g. route too long.
alert("The routing request failed.");
Distance Calculations
Another cultural difference is that various parts of the globe use different measuring systems. It makes sense to ensure that the turn-by-turn instructions use the system most familiar to the user. This can be supplied as an additional sb scale bar parameter.
- Firstly the parameter must be read in:
var param = new Array();
param['sb'] = 'k'; // default to metric measurements.
// Assume distances will be metric. i.e. scale bar in kilometers.
var metricMeasurements = ("m" != param['sb']);
- Then the scale bar map component can be altered accordingly:
display.addComponent( scaleBar);
scaleBar.set("showImperialUnits", (metricMeasurements == false), true);
Internally, all the distance calculations are made in meters, but this can be converted to Imperial measurements as shown below. For distances greater than 1000m (metric) or 1610m (imperial), Kilometers and Miles are preferred:
function calculateDistance(distance){
if (metricMeasurements){
if (distance < 1000){
return "" + maneuver.length + " m.";
} else {
return "" + Math.floor(distance/100)/10 + " km.";
} else {
if (distance < 1610){
return "" + Math.floor(distance/1.0936) + " yards";
} else {
return "" + Math.floor(distance/160.934)/10 + " miles";
The distance of each maneuver is currently not exposed directly, the following code obtains the distance and units directly from the  of the instruction and replaces the text.
// For imperial measurements, extract the distance span
if (metricMeasurements == false){
var ls = instructions.indexOf("")
var ln = instructions.indexOf("" , ls);
if (ls > -1 && ln > -1){
distNode = instructions.substring(ls + 21, ln);
var n=distNode.split(" ");
if (n[1] == "meters"){
imperialText = calculateDistance(n[0]);
} else {
imperialText = calculateDistance(n[0] * 1000);
instructions = instructions.substring(0, ls + 21)
+ imperialText + instructions.substring(ln);
Additional Map Controls
Marking the positions of the Maneuvers
Using the library functions to return static images as defined above, it is a simple matter to add these images to an info bubble associated with each maneuver position.
- A marker is added to each maneuver position - the Worked Example uses a small blue circle.
- A listener is added to the click event for the marker - this will display an Infobubble containing the HTML to display the turn-by-turn instruction text.
var infoBubbles = new nokia.maps.map.component.InfoBubbles();
display.addComponent( infoBubbles);
function addMarker( maneuver, turn, text, geometry){
var marker = new nokia.maps.map.Marker(
icon: "http://example.com/..../icon.png",
anchor: new nokia.maps.util.Point(5, 5)
marker.html = "
" + text + "
"
+ "<\/div>" ;
marker.addListener("click" , function(evt) {
infoBubbles.addBubble(evt.target.html, evt.target.coordinate);
}, false);
Zooming to the position of a Maneuver
By defining a GeoBoundingBox with a single coordinate and using the zoomTo() method, the map may be controlled to focus upon a selected maneuver
function zoomTolink(position){
return " <\/a> ";
Using the library of functions supplied in the Worked Example it is possible to add an in-depth routing service to a web application.

Find another route.
That's a key bit of advice that authorities are dispensing as they brace for weeks of heavy traffic following the opening Tuesday of the Graton Resort & Casino.
The roads — especially Highway 101 — are likely to be rough going as many thousands of vehicles are added to the normal traffic mix as patrons travel to the $800 million casino just outside Rohnert Park.
Graton Resort & Casino
"We're urging people to be patient, be patient, because you will be inconvenienced and you will be delayed," said CHP Officer Jon Sloat.
The 3,000 slot machine casino will be open 24 hours a day and has been publicized for months with a multimillion dollar ad campaign. In one indicator of interest, more than 100,000 people are expected to sign up for player rewards cards by opening day, General Manager Joe Hasson said last month.
The CHP is one of several agencies deploying extra resources to manage the expected crush of traffic making its way to the Bay Area's largest casino. The Sheriff's Office, Rohnert Park's public safety department and Petaluma police are also staffing up starting Tuesday.
"We've got a good plan," said Brian Masterson, Rohnert Park public safety director.
Rohnert Park will have five additional officers on traffic duty and has contracted five CHP officers to help out on city streets. The CHP is rolling out 15 additional motorcycle and patrol units. The Sheriff's Office and Petaluma police are supplying extra manpower.
Officers are prepared to take measures including over-riding traffic lights and opening carpool lanes to all vehicles to assist traffic flow, Sloat said.

The time has come, time for more predictions! I'm posting these a good week beforehand so everybody can do some research and what not (go read Adnan's previews of all the teams, or anything else you prefer).
All the group stage games will be posted in this thread!
When you go to post predictions, you can post in any matter you want, but if you do it day by day or want to make a correction, make a reply under your original post so it's much easier for me to keep track!
Scoring for the group stages works just like Premier League IKTS, 3 points for a correct prediction, 2 points for a correct win/draw + correct margin of victory, and a single point for a correct win/draw. Hopefully the turnout is good, and everybody has fun playing, and with that, good luck!

Game-Day Pies
Charge up your Super Bowl party with these robust artisan pizzas
Nothing pairs better with football and sports gatherings than hot, cheesy pizza, fresh from the oven. So to help you make a culinary game plan for Super Bowl Sunday, we huddled with a few club chefs to get their deliciously inventive takes on the big game's most popular portable meal, no delivery guy required. Excellent calls by all. From a hearty Southwestern deep-dish served piping hot with beef tips and salsa to an unexpected prosciutto, fig, and fennel taste sensation to a rustic and earthy grilled sausage and pesto pizza, these combos will surely impress your friends through the postgame show.
Here's a bold and beefy team of south-of-the-border ingredients from executive chef Bob Malone of Diamond Run Golf Club in Sewickley, Pa. Call it a Chicago-style pizza on steroids.
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 16-inch preformed deep-dish pizza crust
3/4 cup queso mozzarella or melted mozzarella
1 pound beef tips, tri-tip, or flat-iron steak, pan-seared and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons black beans, cooked
3 tablespoons corn kernels, roasted
1 red pepper, diced and sauteed
1 yellow pepper, diced and sauteed
3 tablespoons white or brown rice, cooked
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
sliced pickled jalapeños
Mexican salsa
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a cast-iron skillet or deep, round baking dish with olive oil and sprinkle the bottom with cornmeal. Press in the pizza crust dough evenly and push it up around the sides, about 1 to 2 inches.
Spread a layer of queso mozzarella evenly on the base of the dough and top with beef, vegetables, rice, and shredded cheddar cheese. Garnish with jalapeños and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted. Cool slightly before cutting.
Serve Mexican salsa on the side.
Yield: 6-8 servings
Executive chef Sebastian Heil of the Tower Club in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., shares his rustically shaped, yet sophisticated pizza, starring thinly shaved prosciutto, caramelized fennel, fresh figs, and tart balsamic reduction. A dynamite bite!
1 pound fresh pizza dough
2 tablespoons cornmeal, for dusting
1-1/2 cups sour cream
6 figs, sliced into 6 wheels per fig
2 fennel bulbs, thinly sliced and caramelized in olive oil
3 ounces prosciutto di Parma, sliced paper thin and torn in pieces
3 ounces dried ricotta salata, grated
White Balsamic Reduction (recipe follows)
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a pizza stone or sheet pan in the oven to preheat it, about 20 minutes.
Roll the pizza dough very thin on a lightly floured surface. Remove the pizza stone from the oven and dust it lightly with cornmeal. Place the pizza dough on the stone.
Evenly spread the sour cream on top of the dough, leaving about a 1/2 inch of crust around the edges without toppings. Top with sliced figs, caramelized fennel, and torn prosciutto. Bake for 12 to 17 minutes, or until crust is golden.
Transfer the pizza onto a large cutting board to avoid burning the crust with the residual heat from the pizza stone or pan. Sprinkle with ricotta salata and drizzle with White Balsamic Reduction. Season with salt and pepper.
1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
Add vinegar to a pan over medium heat. Stir slowly. Simmer about 3 minutes, until reduced to 3 tablespoons and vinegar becomes thicker.
For an irresistible blistery-edged crust, take the party outside. Executive chef Jeff Coonce of Gainey Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz., grills this creation that pops with pesto, earthy mushrooms, and Italian sausage.
Pizza Dough (recipe follows)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup prepared basil pesto
1/2 cup high-quality canned or fresh chopped tomatoes, drained
1/2 tablespoon roasted garlic, minced kosher salt
ground black pepper
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
6 shiitake mushrooms, julienned
1/4 cup spicy crumbled Italian sausage, cooked
1 cup multicolored microgreens
pinch of grated Parmesan cheese
Prepare an outdoor grill for direct heat using charcoal or wood. Brush the rolled out pizza dough with olive oil on one side. Place the dough on the grill, oil-side down. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. The top of the pizza dough should start bubbling with air pockets.
Using a large spatula or pizza peel, flip the dough over and grill until golden brown and the dough is just firm, another minute. Remove to a sheet pan. Cover the grill to retain heat.
Spread the pizza with a thin layer of pesto sauce. Scatter tomatoes and roasted garlic on top of the pesto. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mozzarella, mushrooms, and sausage. Return the pizza to the grill on the sheet pan. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes to melt the cheese.
Remove, slice as desired, and top with greens and Parmesan before serving.
Yield: 3-4 servings
1-1/2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 cup semolina flour
1/2 envelope instant dry yeast
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
3/4 cup water
In a large bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flours, yeast, salt, and rosemary. While the mixer is running, add the water. Mix until the dough forms into a ball.
Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth firm ball. Place the dough in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set it in a warm area until the dough doubles in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Rest dough for 10 minutes and then roll out a round pizza crust about 12 to 14 inches.
Yield: 1 piecrust

During a council work session Friday, council members said David Clark, who has served as acting chief for Jasper since April, Lt. Dante Fields of the Jasper Fire Department and Scott Harbison, current chief of the Adamsville Fire Department, were named by the Jasper Civil Service Board as finalists for the job.
Council members said interviews for the finalists will be held during a council work session at noon on Monday, Sept. 16, and council members will vote on who to hire the following day at the council's regular meeting. The work session where interviews will be held is open to the public.
Mayor Sonny Posey said each finalist for the job will address the council, followed by each council member asking the finalists two questions during the interview process.
Council president Gary Cowen said choosing a fire chief is an important step for the council.
"That's one of our primary public safety divisions, and it's very important that we make sure he has great knowledge in the art and skill of firefighting," Cowen said, "and is able to be a good manager for the people under him."
Cowen said the fire chief, after all, has lives depending on the job he does.
"You've got citizens' lives — plus the firefighters' lives — depending on the chief," he said.
Clark has worked full time with the Jasper Fire Department for the past 18 years and volunteered with the department for five years prior to that.
Fields has worked as a Jasper firefighter for the past 14 years.

PLATTSBURGH — After a one-year hiatus, the Chazy girls' soccer team is back on top in Section VII.
Utilizing two goals and three assists from Hannah Laurin, the seventh-ranked Eagles (15-2-1) blanked Moriah 7-0 in the Class D championship at Plattsburgh High Saturday.
"I'm so proud of my team, especially after losing last year and the thought that it could happen any year," Chazy coach Karin Sherman said. "So I'm just very proud we came out and did our thing."
The Eagles were able to pounce on the Vikings (9-7-1) from the get-go. Rachel Pombrio opened scoring with the game's first tally at 3:35.
"We focus on scoring first and keep on pounding, putting the ball in the net and never settling," Sherman said. "Most goals in soccer are scored in the first five or the last five minutes of the half. We set the tone within the first five minutes."
Laurin recorded her first goal of the match at the 21:37 mark on a one-time feed from Pombrio.
Chazy was able to use its speed to its advantage throughout, slipping behind the Moriah defense and getting point-blank opportunities in front.
"We have the speed and sometimes we don't use it when we should," Sherman said. "I thought we needed to come together and play our type of game. Sometimes, the girls hesitate too much. But we didn't (Saturday)."
Kinnan Latremore said the team's success was a result of one-touch passing and quickness.
"I think that's why we got a few of our offside balls," Latremore said. "We knew if we could move the ball up the field, we could get by them every time. Fortunately, it worked out well."
Latremore was advantageous with a penalty-kick opportunity just over seven minutes after Laurin's tally. The junior midfielder was able to slip a hard shot past Vikings' goalkeeper Lauren Cross at 28:56.

Adding to a list that includes The Walker Arts Center, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and the new Public Library, the latest architectural spectacular to open in Minneapolis is the Jean Nouvel-designed Guthrie Theatre. The building incorporates three performance spaces, the 1,100-seat Wurtele Thrust Stage, the 700-seat McGuire Proscenium Stage, and the 200-seat Dowling Studio black box space.
Nouvel was inspired by Minneapolis' industrial past, which is especially evident on the riverfront where the new theatre is located. The circular exterior wall of the thrust stage echoes the round grain silos of the area, and the large rectangle of the proscenium stage evokes the flour mills that were so important to the growth of the city. The structure is clad in dark blue metal, and instead of a traditional marquee, the architect inserted images on steel panels onto the side of the building. They include photographs from past Guthrie productions with actors Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn, and George Grizzard.
On top of the building are three programmable LED screens built by Hi Tech Electronic Displays of Clearwater, FL. The screens can broadcast information about productions or images from them. During the theatre's run of The Great Gatsby, the screens showed images of an eye. The tallest of the three "masts" stands 80', and images can rise vertically up the screen like smoke escaping the power plant chimneys across the Mississippi from the theatre. Nouvel also sees them as an answer to the Gold Medal Flour and Pillsbury signs atop the factories nearby.
The new complex is also designed to be inviting to non-ticket holders, incorporating a cantilevered "endless bridge" that juts out 12 stories above the river, with a viewing platform at one end. To reach the observation deck, visitors pass along a corridor with windows cut out to showcase specific views, chosen by Nouvel, and framed in reflective metal.
The new performance spaces were a collaboration between Nouvel, theatre consultants Fisher Dachs, and the Guthrie management, represented by Michael Gross, vice president of design and construction at The Keewaydin Group.
According to Gross, an important non-negotiable point for the Guthrie team was the recreation of the original thrust stage designed by the architect Ralph Rapson and designer Tanya Moiseiwitsch.
"The idea was to take all the wonderful things from the old space and replicate them, while addressing ADA issues and updating it," says Gross. The new Wurtele Thrust Stage replicates the "Alpine Slope" balcony of the original, which comes down to orchestra level. They have retained the multi-colored seats, and the seating remains segmented, although initially, the architect wanted to replace seating sections with concentric rings. Gross says another benefit of keeping the spirit of the iconic stage intact was that the actors were instantly familiar with the space, despite the move to a new building.
Legend has it that when Ralph Rapson toured the Wurtele Thrust Stage in the new building, he became very emotional seeing such a tribute to his original design. Frank Butler, the Guthrie's director of production, describes the new thrust stage as a "stunning update" of the original one at Vineland Place, but although drawings of the new stage would line up exactly if overlaid onto the old one, the new theatre designers have included greater functionality without compromising the intimacy of the original.
Douglas Stebbins, associate in charge of the project for Fisher Dachs, says, "From the beginning, we assumed that they were going to replicate the thrust stage, but we went to the staff and asked, 'What don't you like about the old space?'" After some discussion, the design team was able to improve some of the sight lines around the stage by wrapping the audience 160° around the center, down from 210° in the old space. They took care to make sure that none of the seats in the new space are further from the stage than in the old one, and the room has roughly similar dimensions.
Another improvement that has revolutionized the way productions are staged is the addition of a 90' fly tower and a new counterweight rigging system. The old space had less than a 50' high stage house, the result of an artistic decision to focus more on actors than scenery. This winter, the new rigging system will allow a ghost from A Christmas Carol to fly down onto the stage, as well as the hanging of more traditional scenic elements. Butler, while welcoming the new technology incorporated into the three performance spaces, says of the new rigging capacity, "We are all just so excited to be able to do what most other theatres have taken for granted for years!"
Around the thrust stage in the new Guthrie runs a ramp, with two vomitories at the proscenium and two in the house to allow for additional exits and an uneven stage landscape. Dubbed "the moat," the ramp is deeper than in the original theatre and sits on Serapid lifts so it can be raised up to stage level. This creates what stage crew term "the full flight deck," or the largest possible stage area, which they used for the Wurtele's inaugural production, The Great Gatsby. Lighting positions were also doubled, with the addition of three half circles of catwalks radiating outwards above the stage.
Before choosing new equipment, the Guthrie staff did extensive research and visited several manufacturers. Butler says, "Basically everything is ETC — dimming, fixtures, and control." The Wurtele features 466 ETC Source Fours, and equipment shared between the three spaces includes seven Robert Juliat Followspots, six 10" Fresnels, one 14" Fresnel, and Wybron Forerunner scrollers.
Butler chose the ETC Obsession II 4600 channel V5.1.1 console for each of the theatres. "We liked the ETC facility in Wisconsin and knew we could get support for the equipment, and we also needed staff to be able to train once and work in all three places so it simplified things for us," he says.
The McGuire Proscenium Stage lighting equipment also relies heavily on Source Fours: 32 50° fixtures, 82 36°, 152 26°, 96 19°, 12 10°, and 12 25-50° Source Fours Zooms. There are also 66 Source Four PARs.
The McGuire stage also has a 10'×33' orchestra pit, allowing the theatre to host musicals for the first time, and is on the same level as the Wurtele. The flexible-seating Dowling Studio a few stories higher up is equipped with 180 Source Fours, from 19 to 50°, 48 PAR 64s, and 24 PARnels.
One original request from the Guthrie was to find a way to place the scene shop onsite, easily accessible to the three performance spaces, since the scene shop for the original theatre was several miles offsite. Douglas Stebbins at Fisher Dachs says the designers thought about several scenarios until Nouvel came up with the idea of putting the scene shop above a municipal parking lot across the street and building a skywalk over to the theatre. "That led the public spaces to be elevated, where there is a view of the river," says Stebbins. "The skywalk has 25' doors and is on the same level as the two largest theatres so that scenery can be wheeled over easily." Pieces can be taken up to the Dowling Studio in a 10'×17' freight elevator.
"Having everybody under the same roof means we are able to take on much more production support," says Butler. The technical team can now meet more easily and create scenic pieces that don't have to fit into the back of a truck. A new onsite recording studio is connected to the rest of the theatre with a fiber optic network and Nexus Star router. Butler adds, "We can almost control anything from anywhere."

One of the nice perks about working for a running store is that we periodically get free pairs of new running shoes from the manufacturers (even part-timers like me). I ran for the first time yesterday morning in a bright yellow and red pair of Newton Gravitys. They're super light and the fabled Newton design is a wonderful marriage with my forefoot-focused running style. In the highest compliment I can pay a shoe, I forgot I had it on, and I can hardly wait for my next run in them. The revised Newton design for 2014 (more open in the toe box) was very comfy. Wonderful! Your mileage, of course, may vary.
Finding a good pair of running shoes is simpler than you might think. In fact, once you start thinking is when the trouble starts. Stop reading online reviews, stop listening to friends, and go with what really matters: how they feel on your feet. Go to a reputable running store in your area and start trying them on. And don't get your mind too involved in the decision. I've watched customers put on a pair of shoes and stand up with an utterly lost "what next?" look on their faces, walking gingerly around in their prospective new shoes like someone tiptoeing through broken glass, eyes darting back and forth in a labored attempt at concentration. "What am I supposed to be feeling?" a customer will say. Whatever you feel is what you're feeling! Whatever you feel is right. If it doesn't feel good to you, if it doesn't feel comfortable and gets out of your way so you can just run, then it's probably not the shoe for you.
And don't give up on a shoe in the first 10-20 steps. If your store has a treadmill or a space to run, take advantage of it. Really run in the shoe for a minute or two and wear it around for 10-15 minutes minimum. Your foot and the shoe may need a little time to get acquainted, which is fine. If some of those odd things you felt in the first 10 steps persist, then try other shoes to see if you have the same problem.
And if you can find two or more different pairs that work for you, buy them and switch them out during the week. Alternating shoes and running surfaces means you're going to hit different stress points and pressure points, and I am certain that has helped keep me very healthy over the past 20 years or so of running.
Besides finding a favorite new shoe, the past few days have been filled with larger matters of life, death, and loss. A friend died too young, and we said goodbye to one of my favorite writers, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. As often happens, thoughts of death brought me back to the Han Recitation, a Zen gatha that I posted on my Facebook page:
Resolving the matter of life and death is of prime importance
Everything bears the mark of impermanence
Everything passes quickly by like a fleeting arrow
Let everyone be mindful each moment
Do not let a moment pass by unaware!
A friend jokingly commented: "It doesn't rhyme." So I wrote my own rhyming version and posted it:
This whole life and death thing is pretty severe
So I humbly say to those who will hear:
Everything's temporary, no, nothing will last
The future is fiction and what's past is past
So when mowing the yard or washing your hair,
Enjoy every sandwich, be fully aware!
My friend commented again: "Now I'm just hungry." But Carol wrote, "I'm thankful for every day I spend with you." Which was unexpected and very sweet. There is always, always something to be thankful for, like new running shoes and life partners who are just that: partners for life.

The Illinois Senate voted late Wednesday to ban smoking at all state-supported colleges--outdoors as well as indoors.
The measure now goes to the house, where opponents are expected to mount an all-out fight to block it.
If this proposal became law, smoking would be illegal indoors and out, even on the broad expanse of the University of Illinois' world-renowned agricultural research farms.
At UIC, while we found plenty of smokers, few would speak against the proposed ban---except Rudy Mendoza.
Mendoza works as a cook at the student center and is trying to quit his tobacco habit.
"I'm not really that much of a smoker, but I smoke getting out of work right now," Mendoza said.
Others were enthusiastic about the general assembly's proposed ban on smoking at state-supported college campuses; nearly all of them non-smokers.
"I think it's a great idea, because it's very inconvenient coming out of class and walking into a puff of smoke," says UIC student Cakeshia Thompson.
"I'm pretty sure if we can't breathe it in, I'm pretty sure the animals can't breathe it in either. And the crops," says student Janelle Samuels.
The state university system's vast research farms downstate were actually one focus of Wednesday's debate in the State Senate.
In the end, a bare majority of 30 senators voted to approve the ban, sending it to the Illinois House. Sources there said its fate was uncertain, though it's a popular idea on UIC's distinctly urban setting.
"Good idea," another student says. "Because I hate when there's smoke blowing in my face like walking around campus."
Officials at the UIC campus have decided not to wait for the general assembly. They've announced that a total ban on smoking -- including the use of electronic cigarettes -- will take effect this summer. Smokers there will have to step off-campus to get a nicotine fix.

The 46,000 people reportedly infected by ads on job sites may be only a fraction of the victims of an ambitious, multistage attack that has stolen data belonging to several hundred thousand people who posted resumes on Monster.com, a researcher said this weekend.
According to Symantec security analyst Amado Hidalgo, a new Trojan horse called Infostealer.Monstres by Symantec has stolen more than 1.6 million records belonging to several hundred thousand people from Monster Worldwide's job search service. That data is then used to target the Monster.com users with credible phishing mail that plants more malware on their machines.
"We are investigating the reports related to this Trojan and will take any necessary steps indicated by that investigation," Monster.com spokesman Steve Sylven said Sunday in an e-mail.
The personal information filched from Monster.com includes names, e-mail addresses, home address, phone numbers and resume identification numbers, said Hidalgo, who traced the data to a remote server used by the attackers to store the stolen information. Infostealer.Monstres ripped off Monster.com by using legitimate log-ins, likely stolen from recruiters and human resource personnel who have access to the "Monster for employers" areas of the site.
Once inside, the Trojan horse ran automated searches for resumes of candidates located in certain countries or working in certain fields. The results were then uploaded to the attackers' remote server.
"Such a large database of highly personal information is a spammer's dream," said Hidalgo. In fact, that's exactly what the attackers are using their newly-acquired data for.
"The attackers first gather e-mail address and other personal information from resumes posted to Monster.com with Infostealer.Monstres," Hidalgo said. "Next, they will try to infect the computers of those candidates by sending targeted Monster.com phishing mails which install [Banker.c or Gpcoder.e]."
The first piece of malware, dubbed Banker.c by Symantec, is a run-of-the-mill information-stealing Trojan horse that monitors the infected PC for log-ons to online banking accounts. When it sniffs a log-on in process, Banker.c records the username and password, then transmits the data back to hacker HQ. Gpcoder.e, on the other hand, is "ransomware," the name given to Trojan horses that encrypt files on the hacked computer, then hold those files hostage until the user pays a fee to unlock the data.
Although both Banker.c and Gpcoder.e may be distributed in other ways -- SecureWorks last week said it had spotted something like the former coming from infected ads placed on job search sites -- Infostealer.Monstres' built-in mailing code and template lets it send messages posing as missives from Monster.com straight to the job-site users it finds in its automated searches.
Infostealer.Monstres' second-stage attack, which uses Gpcoder, is especially insidious. Realistic-looking e-mails that contain convincing personal information -- the very information stolen from Monster.com -- instruct the recipient to download a program called "Monster Job Seeker Tool." There is no tool, of course; victims download the ransomware Gpcoder.e instead.
Hidalgo's research led him to conclude that the three pieces of code -- Infostealer.Monstres, Banker.c, and Gpcoder.e -- are related, and probably the work of a single group.

Jeff Siegel's Santa Anita Analysis (Sat., Oct. 12, 2013)
An excellent Saturday program begins with a mile maiden turf affair that brings out a short priced morning line (7/5) favorite, #3 Cervaro. The Sadler-trained sophomore exits a hot race and although he was beaten as the choice in that affair, he deserves another chance as a logical rolling exotic single.
The second race is a competitive $12,500 sprint that finds class-dropping #8 Trulee Scrappin in an excellent spot to regain his winning form. The Mitchell-trained veteran exits a very strong race and should find this group well within his range. #3 Toss the Dice also is being lowered considerably on the class ladder and when he feels like it he can be very tough. #6 Silver Wings beat a bottom-rung group here last month and is being double jumped in class by Ellis. He shouldn't be out of his element at this level.
We see three main contenders in the third race, an abbreviated maiden claiming sprint for juveniles. #6 Takem by Surprise drops in for a tag for the first time after flashing decent speed in much tougher straight maiden races. He should stick a whole lot better at this level. #2 Capo chased straight maidens in his debut at Pomona and certainly has a right to move forward in this softer spot. Debuting #4 Run for Pleasure has shown enough in the morning for Glatt to indicate he'll be competitive at this level.
The fourth race marks the debut of the highly-regarded Tap It Rich, a $510,000 Keeneland yearling purchase by Tapit. He's been very impressive in the morning and looks more than fit to win first crack out of the box. This is a stronger-than-par maiden race, though, and both #3 Candy Boy (blinkers off, improving numbers) and #9 Gift Exchange (solid third sprinting in his debut at Del Mar) are worth using in rolling exotic play.
#3 Major Magic looks well-spotted for a huge run in the fifth race, a downhill turf sprint for mid-grade claimers. Now in the D'Amato barn and turning back to what might be his best trip, the Kitten's Joy looks very dangerous from off the pace. With good racing luck we're expecting him to be along in time, though #9 Trelawney, a dangerous class dropper from Mullins' barn, probably is worth using on your ticket as well.
The sixth race is an extended sprint for $25,000 sellers and probably requires a spread. #7 Cast a Doubt has been chasing tougher of late but could wake up with this class drop. He seems to have the proper style for seven furlongs. #2 Know More is an ex-classer showing up for a tag for the first time and is another likely to improve in this softer spot. He may be most effective if held up early and allowed to run late. #8 Congregationalist is winless in five prior starts over the Santa Anita main track but he ran well at this level at Del Mar and should be part of the pace throughout.
#1 Bella Viaggia is a quality California-bred filly and may be most at home as a turf sprinter. She gets ideal conditions in today's seventh race feature, the California Distaff Handicap, and looks likely to regain her winning form over a course she's proven she can handle Stevens should have her along in the final furlong as a straight play and rolling exotic single.
The eighth race is tough optional claiming sprint; we're expecting #4 Master Chef to step forward big time for new trainer Mulhall. The veteran gelding loves to win and loves this track, and has looked extra sharp in the morning while returning to conventional dirt. He's always runs best for Talamo, who is back aboard today. #13 Life a Riley handled a softer field in strong fashion last month and was promptly claimed by Spawr, who enlists Bejarano. With another forward move, the Bertrando colt could be heard from right back.
Entry-level California-breds clash over a mile on turf in the ninth race; you may find the need to include several in here. We'll try to survive using just #9 Brown Boss and #8 Turn On the Pumps. We strongly prefer 'Boss on top; the Hess-trained gelding is improving with racing and has won under Bejarano in the past. He's a handy sort that can be placed pretty much anywhere. Turn On the Pumps is a fit on speed figures and usually finishes with interest. He seems a like a logical exacta partner with 'Boss.
The finale is a straight maiden sprint for two-year-olds. #10 Mass Transit has done plenty of good work in the morning for a trainer who excels with debut runners. The son of City Zip acts like a quality sort and should be extremely live. #4 Pray Hard would seem to be the best of the known element; the Hollendorfer-trained gelding finished a strong second in a legitimate affair at Del Mar last month and has every right to continue his improving pattern.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS -- Illinois State and local police are cracking down on impaired drivers over the holiday, and the next couple of weekends.
Hundreds of seat belt and roadside safety checks will be aimed at keeping drunk drivers off the roads.
If drivers appear under the influence of drugs or alcohol or their Blood Alcohol Content is above the legal limit, licenses will be suspended.
That also goes for anyone who refuses to take a sobriety test.
"One driving fatality is one too many for the families and for the police," said Trooper Dustin Pierce, of IL State Police District 8. "Our goal is to implement enforcement efforts which will result in fewer crashes so that we drive zero fatalities to a reality."
Those convicted of DUI can also face jail time and fines of up to $25,000.
The holiday crackdown is sponsored by the Illinois Department of Transportation and more than 250 law enforcement agencies statewide.

I think it would be very difficult to be a vet and have high hopes for this season, as we had and to be staring 0-4 in the face and still play with urgency as if you where making the moves that need to be to make the playoff push. I'm sure is a drag.
You can lay into me already, but it has to be considered. I believe he has lost control of his team and it is starting to show in the performance on the field. IMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

text: Hands on with Twitpic's filter-packed photo app Technology 09 May 12 by Christina Bonnington Tweet Christina Bonnington Mobile device users already have plenty of photo editing and filter apps to choose from: Instagram, Hipstamatic, Camera+, and Snapseed are just a few. But apparently the world needs one more -- or at least that's what Twitter photo upload service Twitpic is hoping, as it finally released its own iOS app on 7 May.Twitpic has made it easy for Twitter users to post photos to the social platform since it was founded in 2008, but the service never really expanded beyond its supporting cast member role. So, when Twitter adopted a built-in photo uploading service for tweets, third-party photo providers like Twitpic likely (and rightly) decided to move on to greener pastures.And so we have the Twitpic app. Is it worth your time?Twitpic mixes photo editing, filters, and a social component in the form of an in-app timeline. If you're one of those staunch anti-Facebook types, it could be a viable alternative to Instagram, which is now a Facebook property.There's just one hitch: All your Twitter follows will also need to start using Twitpic if the whole social aspect of the app is to have any meaning.When you first open up Twitpic, you sign in to your Twitter account, and then you're taken to your Twitpic timeline, which collects you and your Twitter followers' recent uploads.Once you've snapped a photo (or grabbed one from your camera roll through the shutter button centered at the bottom of the app), you can immediately tweet it as is, or click "Add effects" to be taken to the photo editor. There you can add filter effects, enhance photos with one of four scenes (Auto, Night, Backlit or Balance), crop the image, and adjust its orientation or brightness.Twitpic offers more robust editing features than Instagram does, but not as many as you'll find in heavy-duty photo editors like iPhoto or even Camera+.I found the cropping tool to be a little difficult to use -- it doesn't support multitouch, which feels a bit unnatural on a device that supports it. As I dragged my fingers to adjust the crop, I sometimes accidentally moved the entire image rather than the cropped area. You adjust photo brightness through an analog-style dial: Flick right to increase brightness, left to reduce it.If you want to get artsy, there are 10 different filters, many of which will look familiar to Insta addicts. Vivid is a bit Lomo-like; Concorde, an Ansel Adams-worthy black and white; Strato, Nashville's counterpart. Unlike Instagram, Twitpic offers a soft focus filter, much to the joy of bumpy-skinned, duck-lipped, self-portrait-obsessed teenagers everywhere.To aid with Twitter-size caption posting, the app counts down from 140 characters so you know when you're approaching the limit.When you click on a photo in your timeline, you can see how many people have viewed it (as with the Twitpic uploading service). You can comment on other people's photos, too, but the experience isn't nearly as smooth as on Instagram: You have to click the photo, click the comment bubble icon in the corner, and then your comment posts as a tweet.If you regularly use Twitpic to upload images to Twitter, it's certainly worth giving the Twitpic app a download. If you're a die-hard Instagram user, though, the lacklustre social features won't give you any reason to switch.

Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 13-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Please be aware that significant changes have been made to the PAPPG to implement revised merit review criteria based on the National Science Board (NSB) report, National Science Foundation's Merit Review Criteria: Review and Revisions. While the two merit review criteria remain unchanged (Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts), guidance has been provided to clarify and improve the function of the criteria. Changes will affect the project summary and project description sections of proposals. Annual and final reports also will be affected.
A by-chapter summary of this and other significant changes is provided at the beginning of both the Grant Proposal Guide and the Award & Administration Guide.
Due Dates
This program aims to establish a national network of learning environments and resources for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at all levels. The program has four tracks:
The existing NSDL Resource Center will provide collaboration assistance across all projects; undertake strategic partnership development on behalf of projects particularly with respect to non-academic entities; coordinate and, in some cases, perform thematic research and evaluation studies related to the program; synthesize findings across the portfolio; and disseminate findings of the accomplishments of the NSDL program. The NSDL Technical Network Services project operates NSDL's infrastructure and NSDL.org; provides technical support for NSDL tools, services, and collections management; supports Pathways and other NSDL projects in contributing resources and collections to NSDL; and engages the NSDL community in identifying priorities for services developments.
In FY2010, the program will accept proposals for large grants in 1) the Pathways track, 2) Pathways - II, 3) specific sub-tracks of Services, and 4) Targeted Research. In all tracks, the program will also accept proposals for small grants that extend or enhance results from existing services, collections, or targeted research activity to enlarge the user audience for the NSDL network or improve capabilities for the user.
Technology-intensive projects that explore specific topics that have immediate applicability to collections, services, and other aspects of the development of the NSDL network should seek small grant support under the Services section of the program. In addition the program particularly encourages proposals for small grants from institutions and organizations new to NSDL that look to establish partnerships with existing Pathways project activities.
Educational Opportunity
This program provides educational opportunities for
Undergraduate Students,
Graduate Students,
K-12 Educators.
This program provides indirect funding for students at this level or focuses on educational developments for this group such as curricula development, training or retention. To inquire about possible funding opportunities not directly from NSF, please look at the active awards for this program.

Dons draw is not enough to stay out of League Two trouble (From Croydon Guardian)

McCallum at the double as Dons stretch unbeaten run to three games
11:05am Monday 14th January 2013 in Sport
By Julian Style
AFC Wimbledon dropped back into the League Two relegation places despite another two goals from loanee striker Paul McCallum.
On a weekend where all four teams surrounding the Dons at the foot of the table won, McCallum's double in a 2-2 draw against Wycombe Wanderes at Kingsmeadow was not enough to prevent Wimbledon dropping a place.
Neal Ardley's have only mustered two league wins at Kingsmeadow this season and they started off on the backfoot as, after eight minutes, Wycombe's Jo Kuffour's turn and shot took a wicked deflection off Will Antwi's leg and found the back of the net.
However, for the next hour the 4,500 fans that turned out, got right behind their team and witnessed a long period of Wimbledon dominance led by the untouchable West Ham loanee McCallum.
Seven minutes after falling behind, the Dons new boy Peter Sweeney whipped in a corner that was not cleared properly, and it fell to the grateful McCallum who smashed the ball on the half volley past the motionless keeper for the equaliser.
It was not long after when again McCallum nearly got the crowd cheering again - Luke Moore picked the ball up on the left hand side, turned the Wycombe defender inside out and fired in a dangerous low ball.
McCallum got ahead of his marker and flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot and it cannoned back off the upright.
The striker almost had another when a long ball forward from Curtis Osano caused confusion between at the back and McCallum pounced to round the keeper - however he could only find the side netting.
McCallum finally got the second goal, his fourth in three games, just before half time.
Stacy Long found the hitman who took one touch with his right foot to turn the defender, then a second touch with his left to drill a low and hard shot past Jordan Archer.
After the break, Ardley's men continured where they left off and they peppered shots in from left, right and centre.
Most notably, McCallum was denied the hat-trick when his goal bound header off Jonathan Meades's cross was saved at point blank range by Archer.
With 15 minutes to go, Wycombe found an unlikely equaliser when a freekick sent into the box was not dealt with by Meades and substitute Matt McClure darted in and poked the ball low beyond Neil Sullivan.
There was to be no more excitement, but the Dons are now three League games unbeaten and they take the record to fellow strugglers Accrington Stanley this weekend.
In the meantime, Dons host Horley Town on Tuesday in the Surrey Senior Cup.

BROWNSBURG — Thanks to an evening rain on Saturday night, there was $200,000 at stake in a pair of Traxxas Nitro Shootouts at the U.S. Nationals on Sunday.
The Traxxas Top Fuel event got down to a final four before the rain so two rounds were run Sunday, and three rounds of the Funny Car were contested as well. Each winner earned $100,000.
Jack Beckman had the most spectacular finish as he won the Traxxas Funny Car event. His car literally blew apart after crossing the finish line, but he still finished ahead of Cruz Pedregon.
"The first four seconds of the run was great," said Beckman. "The last 10 not so good. I bounced around quite a bit (after the body separated from the chasis), and I was sliding in my own oil. I just didn't want to hit the wall."
Beckman is winless so far this season. He enjoys the victory and the money, but it still feels a bit odd.
"You never know if your last win will be your last win," he said. "So you learn to appreciate all of them. But with this win, we have to go back out and race again (today)."
Shawn Langdon got past Steve Torrence in the Top Fuel Traxxas final.
"It was a great feeling to just be a part of it," said Langdon. "We have been having great runs all weekend. The only things that could be better would be to win the Nationals and the championship."
The only division where the top spot changed hands was in the Top Fuel category. Steve Torrence went into the day on top but got bumped out of that place by a couple of drivers.
Antron Brown finished strong to finish at No. 1, and Tony Schumacher is at No.2. Brown started his final run on the bubble at No. 16. Schumacher started his final run out of the final 16.
