The No. 23 Chattanooga Mocs host what is being called the biggest regular season game in Finley Stadium history this weekend against No. 15 Wofford. For just the second time since the facility opened in 1997, two ranked teams face off on Davenport Field. This time, there is a Southern Conference Championship on the line.
The Mocs are 7-2 overall for the first time since 1980, but are more importantly in first place in the SoCon race at 5-1. The Terriers are 5-3 and tied with Samford for second in the league standings at 4-1.
Kickoff is set for 2:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) on Saturday, Nov. 9. Since this is the final home game of the regular season, the Mocs will also recognize its graduating group as a part of Senior Day festivities. There are 13 seniors who will be honored, including Bryant Belew, Hunter Dockery, Wes Dothard, Dean Haynes, D.J. Key, Derrick Lott, Gunner Miller, Chaz Moore, C.J. Murrell, Kevin Revis, Devin Scates, Patrick Sutton and Kadeem Wise.
The Mocs are riding a five-game winning streak, the longest in league action since joining the SoCon in 1977. This is the first seven-win season for Chattanooga since 1997. The Mocs have not had an eight-win campaign since 1980 when head coach Russ Huesman was a junior defensive back for the Mocs.
Wofford is coming off a bye week following a 34-27 home loss to Samford on Oct. 26. The Terriers have reloaded and are in the hunt for another championship, despite only returning five starters on offense and defense.
Saturday is Military Appreciation Day at Finley Stadium. There will be special military-themed recognitions going on throughout the game and 1,000 camouflaged Power C T-shirts will be handed out at the gate. All active military, veterans and their families will get in FREE. This offer is also extended to our hometown heroes. All emergency personnel, police and fire can get in free in uniform or with a valid ID.
Tickets for the game are available now at the UTC Ticket Office by calling (423) 266-MOCS (6627) or online on GoMocs.com. Remember to use the promo code #gomocs to get print-at-home $13 general admission tickets.
The Mocs Sports Network broadcasts the game on ESPN Radio 105.1 The Zone in Chattanooga. Jim Reynolds is in his 34th year as the play-by-play Voice of the Mocs. Todd Agne has provided the color commentary for the past 17 years, while Will Poindexter is back as the sideline reporter. A free audio stream of the game is available through MocsVision on GoMocs.com.
The game will also broadcast on ESPN3.com. Darren Goldwater is the play-by-play announcer and Paul Maguire is the color commentator. This is the third of four Mocs football games on ESPN3 this fall.
With three weeks left in the regular season there are four teams still alive in the Southern Conference championship race. The Mocs lead with way with a 5-1 league record. Wofford and Samford are tied for second with a 4-1 tally, while Furman is still alive at 3-2. UTC controls its own destiny. Win against Wofford this week and at Samford on Nov. 16 and the Mocs are SoCon Champs for the first time since 1984.
This is the 10th week the Mocs have been ranked in the Russ Huesman era (since 1999). UTC is 3-6 when ranked in the top-25 since 2010. The Mocs are 5-13 against ranked opponents under Huesman. UTC has defeated at least one ranked team in each of the previous four years of the Huesman era.
The Mocs will say goodbye to five, fifth year seniors who were instrumental in laying the groundwork for the Russ Huesman era. Hunter Dockery (OL), Wes Dothard (OL), D.J. Key (DB), Gunner Miller (LB) and Kadeem Wise (DB) all committed to UTC less than two months after Coach Huesman took the job in 2009. They have all made their mark on the program, and their 24 wins as a class at No. 7 all-time at UTC. They could break into the top-5 before the end of the year.
UTC's 35-28 win at Appalachian State on Nov. 2 secured the Mocs fourth winning record in the last five years, all during the Russ Huesman era. UTC only had four winning seasons in the 23 years prior to Huesman's arrival in 2009 (1986-2008).
A win against Wofford on Saturday would give Chattanooga a 6-1 record in SoCon action. The Mocs have never won six SoCon games in one season.
On first reference, it is acceptable to refer to us as the "University of Tennessee at Chattanooga". After that, we prefer to be called "Chattanooga" or "UTC." Our nickname is "Mocs."

• UTC has five on various preseason All-American teams, including senior linebacker Wes Dothard, senior defensive back D.J. Key, senior defensive back Kadeem Wise, junior defensive end Davis Tull and junior tight end Faysal Shafaat.
• UTC is picked to finish third in the SoCon by the league's coaches, the highest preseason prediction for the Mocs since 1991.
• Chattanooga had nine players named to the preseason All-SoCon teams, including five on the first team defense (Dothard, Key, Wise, Tull and senior defensive lineman Derrick Lott).
UTC posted six straight games with at least 200 rushing yards between Georgia State and Elon. That run was snapped last week against The Citadel. Ironically, UTC had 197 rushing yards before they took a knee on three straight snaps to end the game. The Mocs were right back at it with 228 rushing yards at Appalachian State.
Coach Huesman is 30-23 in his five seasons with the Mocs. He just passed his former coach, Bill Oliver (1980-83), for fourth on the Mocs all-time coaching win list. Oliver went 29-14-1 in four seasons as coach of the Mocs. Joe Morrison (1973-79) is third with a 44-29-4 record in seven seasons.
The Mocs have five defensive players on the preseason All-SoCon first team and four earned preseason All-American honors. UTC is currently leading the league in scoring defense (18.8 ppg), total defense (325.6 ypg) and pass defense (148.6). However, not one of UTC's defenders is in the top 10 in the SoCon in tackles. Senior D.J. Key is No. 11 with 7.8 stops per game.
Seniors Wes Dothard and D.J. Key are both broke into the Mocs record book for career tackles at Appalachian State. Dothard currently has 283 career stops and needs 11 more to pass Ron Fague (1994-97) for eighthall-time at UTC. Key has totaled 278 in his career and is 10th all-time at UTC.
Thanks to a 13-tackle effort at Elon on Oct. 19, senior Wes Dothard earned his fourth career SoCon Defensive Player of the Week award. That ties him with Junior Jackson (1986-89) for the most weekly defensive honors by a Moc from the league in school history.
Jacob Huesman is putting up some impressive numbers at quarterback this season. The sophomore captain is second in the SoCon and No. 11 in the nation with a 66.1 completion % (121-183). He is third in the league with a 143.8 pass efficiency rating. He leads the SoCon and is No. 16 in the nation in points responsible for with 15 TD passes and eight rushing scores. His 15 TD throws are second in the SoCon. He is also fifth in the league in total offense (222.3), fifth in rushing (86.7) and fifth in passing (135.7).
Huesman is also starting to make a mark on the Mocs career lists. He has 28 touchdown passes and needs eight more to pass Mickey Brokas (1970-73) for No. 5 all-time at UTC. He should also break into the top 10 for career passing yards (2,833) before the end of the season. He also topped 1,000 career rushing yards (1,684) against Georgia State.
After a statistically slow start to the season, junior defensive end Davis Tull has posted 5.5 sacks in the last four games. His one sack at Elon gave him 24.0 for his career, passing former teammate Josh Williams (2009-12) for the Mocs all-time record. Tull, the preseason SoCon Defensive Player of the Year and Buck Buchanan Award candidate, is currently leading the SoCon and No. 13 in the FCS with 7.5 sacks on the year.
There are a number of Mocs listed among the active career leaders in the FCS. Senior DB Kadeem Wise is sixth among active players in the FCS with 11 interceptions. Senior LB Wes Dothard and junior DL Davis Tull are both No. 3 nationally with seven forced fumbles in their careers. Dothard is also No. 11 among active FCS player with 7.2 tackles per game. Tull is No. 5 in career sacks (25.0) and No. 6 TFLs per game (1.22).
Junior running back Keon Williams has twice been named the league's offensive player of the week this season. He is fourth in the league with 85.9 rushing yards per game and second in the SoCon with nine rushing TDs. He has five 100-yard games this season, and is second in the SoCon with 5.9 yards per carry. His averages are skewed after being injured on the opening kickoff last week against The Citadel. He did not play an offensive snap against the Bulldogs and missed the Appalachian State game with an ankle injury.
Junior PK Nick Pollard is No. 5 on the Mocs all-time scoring list with 165 career points. He needs 11 more to pass Dennis Waters (1986-88) for fourth. He is also second all-time in career PATs with 99. He needs 12 more to pass Matt Vick (1997-00) for the top spot.
The Mocs did not have a red zone stop on defense this season coming into the App. State game, despite allowing a SoCon-low nine TDs on 19 trips. UTC had two red zone stops at ASU, including Appalachian State's final possession. For the season, UTC has only allowed opponents inside their 20, 25 times. That is the second fewest in the SoCon. Of those 25 trips, only 13 have been TDs, which is also the second fewest in the SoCon.

Russ Huesman is 30-23 in his five years at Chattanooga after being hired as the 22nd head coach at UTC on Dec. 22, 2008. A 1983 graduate of UTC and a former defensive back, Huesman guided Chattanooga to a 6-5 mark in 2009, equaling the number of wins UTC had seen in the previous three years combined. Huesman is 26-19 against FCS teams with 13 of those losses coming against ranked opponents, including eight in the top-10. He is 21-16 in SoCon action, including 11-8 at home. He has an 0-4 record against Appalachian State.
Prior to his return to Chattanooga, Huesman spent the 25 seasons building a reputation as one of the top defensive-minded assistant coaches in the country. He spent five seasons as the defensive coordinator at the University of Richmond before joining UTC and also coached at Memphis (1998-2003) and William & Mary (14 yrs), serving as the Defensive Coordinator for the 1996-97 seasons.

MP's plea to keep 6 Rifles in Cornwall
Posted: March 17, 2014|
Ministers have been urged to make a "speedy and right" decision on whether to keep a historic platoon of part-time soldiers in Cornwall.
In July, the Government announced 6 Rifles D company would abandon its base in Truro from 2016. It will retain its presence in Plymouth while extending its footprint to Barnstaple, North Devon.
Earlier this year, ministers confirmed they were looking again at the move, which would end the Rifles' links to Cornwall stretching back to the 18th century.
Sarah Newton, MP for Truro and Falmouth, has argued moving the regiment away from the Duchy will damage efforts to recruit a reservist Army in Cornwall.
In the House of Commons, the Conservative MP questioned Armed Forces Minister Mark Francois on the future of 6 Rifles.
She said: "We have had good news in Cornwall about more RAF reservists being stationed at RAF St Mawgan, but the continued uncertainty about the future of The Rifles in Cornwall is a major concern.
"People in Cornwall want to support their country and to have the opportunity to serve as Army reservists. May I therefore urge you to make a speedy, and the right, decision to enable people to serve from Truro?"
In reply, the minister said: "I know you are concerned about the future of reserves in her constituency following the proposed relocation of D company, 6 Rifles, and I welcome her strong interest in this issue on behalf of her constituents.
"I understand that my predecessor gave her a commitment that we would look closely at this decision, but that examination is not yet complete."
He added the Truro Army Reserve centre would not be closed, though acknowledged the base would be scaled-back to be the home of medical and logistics units, as well as supporting local cadet forces.
He went on: "However, I do understand the strong historical attachment The Rifles have to Cornwall, so I hope to be able to give her a clear answer on this matter in the near future."
The move is part of massive Army reform that will see 20,000 regular full-time soldiers axed, and replaced by 30,000 reservists.
Later in the session, Sir Nick Harvey, North Devon Liberal Democrat MP, championed the centre in Barnstaple as "the only opportunity for people to participate" in the reserves from west Somerset to north Cornwall.
"If we are to achieve the targets we set ourselves nationally for increasing the size of the reserves, it is very important that people in all communities, however rural, have a realistic opportunity to participate in the reserves," he said.
Mr Francois said he understood the point.

"Vicki is an enthusiastic person who has always wanted to teach. I believe part of the attraction for her in working for our department is that we are a teaching institution. During the time Vicki worked for us, she helped coordinate several major departmental seminars/events. One of Vicki's admirable qualities is that she is able to take a 'negative' and turn it into a 'positive'. An example of this would be that since I have known her, she has been asked to lecture as a motivational speaker to various self-help groups. I know that she has also coordinated several charity events in her community and works to help individuals in her church who need assistance."
Christopher M. Jobe, MD
I am Vicki Cosby-Jefferson and education is my first love. I currently live in Loma Linda, CA which is located in San Bernardino County, also known as one-half of "the Inland Empire" which covers the Riverside/San Bernardino area of California. San Bernardino County is the largest county in California and reaches from North to the border of Nevada, covers over half of Death Valley and then eastward to the border of Arizona.
In September 2004 I entered the Master of Education program in Adult Education/Distance Learning at the University of Phoenix. I had just completed a bachelors degree in Business Management after a 15-year sabbatical; and after working for 20+ years as an administrative support assistant for various universities and corporations through temporary agencies. At last the time had come to follow the dream--obtain my most fervent goal--teach.
Teaching has always been a really personal goal for me. As a young girl while other girls played with their Barbie dolls, I would set up crates in my mother's garage and teach school to the children in the neighborhood; anyway to kids that I could round up and hold hostage. Thank goodness for temporary employment because it gave me a chance to perform a variety of tasks, wear many hats, learn a variety of administrative support functions and duties preparing me to teach office technology. One of these chances was demonstrating IBM's first personal computer and one of their most popular software--Displaywrite IV. Demonstrations were done for the benefit of corporations, so they would invest in the phenomenon known as the PC.
In 1981, after my position with IBM ended, I was employed by The Ohio State University as secretary to the Information Director of the National Center for Research in Vocational Education where I trained the administrative support staff on the use of their first PC and its accompanying software--Displaywrite IV. While working at the research center I assisted in writing a "how-to" manual for the Displaywrite software and using the personal computer. Working with Dr. Morgan Lewis, who was the Director of Information at the research center, I acquired some fantastic transferrable skills which related to obtaining hands-on learning in vocational education, as well as obtaining a deep understanding on how it enhances not just a person's employability but their self-esteem especially in welfare recipients and ex-offenders. This research eventually became a part of the Carl D. Perkins Act which is still in use today as the Workforce Initiative Act. I also learned that changing your life comes from within, and no amount of manipulation or punishments will change that but if the seed of change is previously planted in a positive manner then the possibility of the "mind change" may occur much earlier than waiting for a crisis intervention.
From 1983 to 1984 I worked for Columbus State Community College, Business & Industry Section as a laboratory assistant in Office Administration where I tutored in Business English, Business Mathematics, Typing, Accounting, Psychology and Sociology under Mrs. Phyllis Hardy. It was unique because I had to learn the subjects as I tutored which gave me the ability to really think on my feet. In 1985 I worked with the international law students at Capital University Law School where I assisted the international students with their internships rotations at various government facilities and law firms. I also functioned as lab assistant organized and developed their lecture tapes (cassette) for their courses in international law.
Briefly after this period I took a short assignment for the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center as personal secretary to both Dr. Deshpal Verma, who specialized in plant growth manipulation and the late Dr. Muttaiyah Sundralingham of the Molecular Genetics Research Center. While working in both of their research centers, I assisted them with applications for grants, assisting with the needs of their PhD candidates; and for Dr. Verma I had the honor of working with him on the implementation of an international conference in India on plant growth. This was a very interesting experience especially since I never left the State of Ohio during the entire development of the conference.
In 1995 I assisted the Director of the African American and African Studies Extension, S. Yolanda Robinson in developing a local historical community festival; a seminar on reforming the curriculum for students of black history which was sponsored by the African Heritage Studies Association (AHSA). I was honored by being given the title of secretary to this association, an office that had never been held by anyone who did not have a degree of significance (PhD).
In 1999 I earned 320 hours tutoring in reading literacy and became certified as a Laubach literacy tutor. Finally in 2006-2007 I accepted a temporary assignment training the claims department staff on how to recognize and extract information from foremans and equipment reports for a highway construction company. There I developed a "how-to" manual on reading construction blueprints, maps and codes of different construction areas and functions performed by the work crews. The experience and the work allowed me to understand how to assess, evaluate, train and instruct the adult learner. The end result from my experiences and education was the completion of my MAED/Adult Education degree in July, 2006. Or so I thought!
Something was missing from my education, so I took education one step further by enrolling in another master's program specializing in curriculum & instruction. It is my belief that having this additional degree will enhance my ability to teach, train and instruct the juvenile offender, the adult ex-offender, and the hard-to-hire" thereby enhancing my employability in a variety of careers. In the interim I hope to find a position as an administrative assistant and/or a position teaching office technology in the community college, and if I am allowed to teach a history class (my second love).
So my goals are to teach office technology in a correctional facility and/or contract with government agencies/community programs to motivate and train the juvenile offender, the adult ex-offender, and the "hard-to-hire" clients who need to get into the workforce; and help them become more literate while giving them a second chance in life. I believe that my life experience parallel theirs, so I speak with authority on the subject of reintegration into society, total life change and rehabilitation. More often than not the "hard-to-hire" has given up. This is where I fit in. I want to be one of the keys to their Pandora's Box because at the bottom of their box is HOPE! After letting turmoil, grief, pain and bad choices out of the box. It is a matter of getting the "hard-to-hire to acknowledge that there is something at the bottom of their box which has not been thoroughly looked through or at--We all have a box from Pandora. As human beings we often make decisions that cause negative reactions to happen in our lives but there is always hope--which means there is a possibility for change. You must be persistent and follow through with hope for a better day. You must believe that you can change, and that a positive life is in your hands; you just need to dig deep into your Pandora's Box.
Attending the University of Phoenix, the training and experience that I have gained through my courses, and interacting with those who already have careers as teachers, instructors and trainers has given me the opportunity to grow, hone my strengths and skills related to adult education. It is my burning desire to accomplish my personal goals. I want to assist in organizing programs of educational value but more than this I want to teach. As a multiple minority I must give 115% of myself to the goal, and be equal in intellect to those who have not had my experiences. Yet, I know that God is in charge, it is He that guides my path. I have been allowed to live two lives in one lifetime; and I have been been blessed with a chance to rethink my life, relive my dreams--and reach for the sky. But most all I looked into the bottom of my Pandora's Box.

Smartypants Quiz Answers and Winners
Here are the ANSWERS of yesterday's Smartypants Quiz. Winners are being determined and will be posted very shortly. (WooHoo! [NOT] It ain't a Smartypants Quiz without an error. Please see #8. Ugh.)
(Let me know how you liked the morning quiz time!)
1. Which Amendment to the US Constitution grants people the right to keep and bear arms?
ANSWER: The second amendment
2. Name the only mammal that can truly fly.
ANSWER: The Bat
3. Name five pairs of U.S. presidents who share the same last name.
ANSWER: Bush, Adams, Roosevelt, Harrison, and Johnson
4. If laid end to end, approximately how many miles of blood vessels are in the average human body?
a. 500 miles
b. 7,500 miles
c. 60,000 miles

ANSWER: Leonardo da Vinci
8. Which of the following four wars claimed the lives of the most soldiers?
a: Revolutionary War
b: Civil War
c: World War I
d: World War II
ANSWER: d. World War II
NOTE: ***Slapping myself across the face*** I tell you, no one with four children should trust themselves to write error-free quizzes. I intended to type "American Soldiers", as that was the intent of my question—in fact, I was sure I'd specified it. Unfortunately, I omitted "American"—so the correct answer to the question as phrased is World War II.
9. Before Alaska became a state, what was the tallest U.S. mountain?
ANSWER: Mt. Whitney
10. Which of the following serves as a passageway for both air and food?
a. trachea
b. pharynx
c. larynx
ANSWER: b. pharynx
11. Identify this performer, whose breakthrough single was released in summer 2009:
ANSWER: Justin Bieber
12. "Desultory" means
a. evil
b. lacking a plan, purpose, or enthusiasm
c. mandatory

14. What is the largest country in South America?
a: Columbia
b: Argentina
c: Brazil
d: Peru
ANSWER: c. Brazil
15. What was the name of the last movie in which John Wayne appeared?
ANSWER: The Shootist
NOTE: There've been some questions about the 1993/94 film "La Classe Américaine" being John Wayne's last film. However, because that film consists entirely of cut and pasted scenes from John Wayne's old movies (and pieced together to create a new movie), I'm going to say the original answer of "The Shootist" stands.
16. Who sculpted the Pieta?
ANSWER: Michelangelo
17. What TV Show featured a husband-wife team played by Norman Fell & Audra Lindley?
ANSWER: Three's Company (The Ropers would also be acceptable)
18. What is equal to -459.69 degrees Fahrenheit?
ANSWER: Absolute zero or 0K or Zero Kelvin (the Celsius conversion would also work)
(Note: I think the correct number is actually -459.67…my finger slipped.)
19. What word can be defined in the following two ways:
a. thread
b. a long tale
ANSWER: Yarn
20. How many 9's are between 1 and 100?
So sorry about the delay in announcing the winners, folks—and of course, so sorry about the discrepancy with question #8. After a lot of thought, though, I've decided that answer D (World War II) stands since I did not specify American soldiers. Of the four choices, WWII had the highest number of overall deaths.
In addition, I clarified above that the Celsius conversion in #18 will also be accepted!
I've also determined that I need 800 proofreaders before I post the next quiz.
And that I need to take more vitamins.
GRAND PRIZE WINNER – The first person to correctly answer all questions is…#3 Daniel Wang! Congrats, Daniel—you win an Amazon Kindle! Great job.
FIRST PLACE WINNER – The randomly selected person in the Top 100 who correctly answered all questions is…#30 Eve Jorgensen Congrats, Eve!

#861 Lynn
#950 AlishaJaybird

And a serious THANK YOU to all of you for liking me despite my myriad…uh…imperfections.
And my…uh…freakishness.
See you next time,

Becky On Thursday, March 25 at 1:50 pm
I missed the quiz because I was actually doing work! Boo….
Carole & Chewy On Thursday, March 25 at 1:52 pm
I always feel, as a homeschooler, I should know all these answers.
I don't. Congrats to those who do….
Matt K On Thursday, March 25 at 1:52 pm
I believe number 8 is wrong. If you're talking about United States soldiers, Civil war would be correct, but you don't specify soldiers of JUST the united states in the question…
"Which of the following four wars claimed the lives of the most soldiers?"
Jen On Thursday, March 25 at 1:52 pm
I disagree with your answer for #8…you didn't specify *American* soldier's deaths. (In that case, Civil War is correct.)
Stacey On Thursday, March 25 at 1:53 pm
I didn't like the morning quiz. I didn't get to play as I'm not usually home during those hours. Just more reason for me to upgrade to the iphone!
misspfui On Thursday, March 25 at 1:53 pm
the civil war killed more AMERICAN soldiers, but the word war II killed more soldiers overall.
if civil war is the answer, then the question was wrong.
desert On Thursday, March 25 at 1:53 pm
ohhhh.I got two wrong!! well being the first one to comment is a good enough prize I guess…right?
Taryn E On Thursday, March 25 at 1:54 pm
Think you need to research the answer to #8…. approx 620,000 died in the the Am Civil War, making it the deadliest in US History. However, your question wasn't which claimed the lives of the most AMERICAN soldiers! World War I remains the deadliest in terms of total number of soldiers: The Allies lost 5.7 million soldiers and the Central Powers about 4 million.
Emilee On Thursday, March 25 at 1:54 pm
I loved the morning quizzes. You should do them in the AM more often! =]
Iris M On Thursday, March 25 at 1:54 pm
I just googled how many soldiers died during the Civil War, and it told me that roughly 612, 000 did. In World War I roughly 16 million died; during the Revolutionary War no known figures exist, but apparently as many as 80,000 perished either in action or from diseases. But the big one everywhere was World War II as technology had advanced so much… according to all accounts, between 50 and 70 million died. Wow, this made me really depressed.
shakeyfan On Thursday, March 25 at 1:55 pm
I'm ambivalent about the AM quiz. It's often difficult to work a PM quiz around bath/bedtime, etc., but on a weekday I'm teaching! Either way, I love to play the quizzes. Thanks, Ree!
Amber F. On Thursday, March 25 at 1:55 pm
Ree, I believe the correct answer for question 8 should be d, World War II. The question asks how many soldiers died, not how many AMERICAN soldiers. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_disasters_by_death_toll
Brooke On Thursday, March 25 at 1:56 pm
Hi Ree,
I know I didn't win because I answered #8 wrong. But I did want to let you know that #15 could be answered 2 ways. The shootist was the last film John Wayne made but…In 1993, Wayne appeared posthumously as George Abitbol, the central character in the French television film La Classe américaine. So the last movie he appeared in was La Classe Americaine. Just didn't want someone to miss out on the prize if that was their only wrong answer.
Ashley from Maine On Thursday, March 25 at 1:56 pm
I liked the morning quiz time…my brain is fresher! Although, it's afternoon where I am
Gail On Thursday, March 25 at 1:57 pm
Excellent quiz and congratulations to the winners!
Sarah A. On Thursday, March 25 at 1:58 pm
Not that I'm bitter about getting it wrong or anything, but how is # 8 the Civil War? Millions of Russian and German soldiers alone died during WWII. Am I reading the question totally wrong? It didn't specify Americans.
(I'm out of the running anyway, because I'm poky. Just curious!)
Megan Murray Gessel On Thursday, March 25 at 1:58 pm
I don't mean to be a pill, but I think you have number 8 wrong. You didn't specify the nationality of the soldiers…by far the biggest casualty count for soldiers was World War 2.
ELS On Thursday, March 25 at 1:59 pm
Is it possible your answer to #8 is incorrect? Even though the Civil War was responsible for the most American soldier deaths, the most soldier deaths total is easily WWII at over 20 million. The question didn't limit itself to U.S. soldiers though, so I think the answer should be WWII…
todd On Thursday, March 25 at 1:59 pm
Goofed and gave "ghost characters," for the bard.
Laurel On Thursday, March 25 at 1:59 pm
Thanks Ree, fun quiz and I learned a few things!
I have just been reading up on your "Ask PW" . . . I think we are due for another! I also really like the "Dear Ree" advice giving, would love more of that!
You're the best Thanks for brightening my day.
suzanne On Thursday, March 25 at 2:00 pm
I must be missing something — I thought there were only 19 9s between 1-100….
1 – 9
2 – 19
3 – 29
4 – 39
5 – 49
6 – 59
7 – 69
8 – 79
9 – 89
10 – 90
11 – 91
12 – 92
13 – 93
14 – 94
15 – 95
16 – 96
17 – 97
18 – 98
19 – 99
wendysuzyq On Thursday, March 25 at 2:01 pm
I am sad, sad, sad! I got all of them right except for #8 because I went off of the sidebar that listed casualties and losses here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war_2 which give different numbers than the text.
Oh bother – one darn question. So close to maybe getting in the amazon drawing.
suzanne On Thursday, March 25 at 2:01 pm
i just saw it — 99 has two nines.
i knew i was missing something
Oana On Thursday, March 25 at 2:02 pm
Ohh SOLDIERS! Grrr.
Megan (Best of Fates) On Thursday, March 25 at 2:02 pm
Okay – I didn't actually read the quiz the first time (I only look when the answers are also there) but for the question 8, you meant american soldiers, right? Because like 40 million soldiers were killed in WWII, and I don't know off the top of my head how many were killed in the Civil War, but I'm guess in the hundreds of thousands.
Jorie On Thursday, March 25 at 2:03 pm
Doh – I didn't realize that the war casualties question was about US deaths only. I thought it was total casualties. My streak is holding true – I got them all right…except one
Flan On Thursday, March 25 at 2:04 pm
I think question 8 is a little unclear…the Civil War is the correct answer if you are asking about U.S. soldiers, but WWII had many more soldiers killed overall.
SignGuySteve On Thursday, March 25 at 2:04 pm
The Civl War – 618,000 dead
World War II – 68-70 million dead??????
Eric Rogers On Thursday, March 25 at 2:04 pm
i think you should look at #8 and #20 again.
Melissa On Thursday, March 25 at 2:04 pm
Your answer to number 8 isn't quite correct. The question asks how many service people died, not how many American service people died. When you add in deaths of service people from other countries, WW
II was by far the deadlier war, not to mention the numbers of civilian deaths. In China alone, there were 3-4 million military deaths. Germany, more than 5 million. Soviet union, 8-10 million. Military deaths!
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties
Civil War 498,332 Americans
WWII 405,399 Americans +
a On Thursday, March 25 at 2:06 pm
According to my searches, WWII claimed the most soldiers. However, if you had meant the most American soldiers, then the answer would have been the Civil War…
Am I wrong?
Dee DC On Thursday, March 25 at 2:06 pm
I missed two of them, but more soldiers were killed in WW2 than in the Civil War, but the American Civil War had more American soldiers. Is that what you meant?
Lindsay C. On Thursday, March 25 at 2:07 pm
Dang- only missed the war one. I went with the wording on the question and didn't count only US soldier deaths. Oh wells
Memoria On Thursday, March 25 at 2:08 pm
Great quiz, Ree. I just thought I'd mention that "Pieta" is spelled incorrectly. It should be "Pietà" with a grave accent on the "a". I love your quizzes, by the way.
Mike V @ DadCooksDinner On Thursday, March 25 at 2:08 pm
Um…I think, in question 8, you mean the lives of American soldiers. World War 2 had the highest total casualties for soldiers of all nationalities.
(Sorry to be a smartypants about this; should have brought it up when I first saw the question.)
Sheree On Thursday, March 25 at 2:09 pm
Morning quiz is OK. I'm a pansy-ass (I'm not a morning person), but I do get up before the crack of noon. This was the first time I entered one of your quizzes and you're right about thinking (you tricked me on one). Smartypants
the domestic fringe On Thursday, March 25 at 2:09 pm
Your quizzes can be a basis for a new educational program…think about it. You could publish your own SmartyPants curriculum.
Michelle On Thursday, March 25 at 2:10 pm
lol I am really confused on question 20…..can someone help me figure out how you get 20 9s between 1 and 100? I first came up with 10 then realized that 99 should be counted as 2 9s so the total I would have come up with was 11…am I missing something?? I count 9, 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89, 99 total of 11 9s.
Allison On Thursday, March 25 at 2:10 pm
#18 really stressed me out! I thought maybe u had typed the wrong number, but then I spent an hour thinking maybe you were being tricky and wanted a conversion. My answer is the one with all the ARGH's in it. lol
On #20 I thought it was a trick question! "How many 9's are between 1 and 100?" I put NONE. lol I loved the daytime quiz. Thanks REE!
Melissa On Thursday, March 25 at 2:10 pm
Me again! I wrote about question 8, and now I have gotten to the end, and have another issue with #18. I answered:
(-459.69) degrees Fahrenheit = -0.0111111111 kelvin (among other things–since I couldn't find a nice round number like I assumed you wanted) and this answer is correct for your question, which as you admit, contains a typo.
sara spain On Thursday, March 25 at 2:11 pm
Hi Ree, just saw the answers you posted to the quiz and I actually disagree with #8. 55 million soldiers were killed in WW2 while approx. 700K in the Civil War. Am I missing something?
megs On Thursday, March 25 at 2:11 pm
#20 is 20????
Clare On Thursday, March 25 at 2:11 pm
I must comment, on behalf of my British historian husband on our 4th anniversary – the way that Number 8 is phrased, the correct answer would be D, World War II. If you specified AMERICAN military casualties, then yes, B is correct.
Sorry for my nit-picking – it's only because it's our anniversary. Other days he can defend his own nerdiness.
Jenny Everman On Thursday, March 25 at 2:14 pm
Love the new time!!!!
KarenMcG On Thursday, March 25 at 2:16 pm
Every time I counted them, I am only coming up with 19 "9's" between 1 and 100. Duh. 99. Oh well!
Raina (the garden of yum) On Thursday, March 25 at 2:16 pm
That was fun! Thank you. It was hard but I liked that. I liked the morning..last time I was up too late.
Sandy ( Your Life, Organized ) On Thursday, March 25 at 2:16 pm
LOL Thanks for the fun!!!
Krista S. On Thursday, March 25 at 2:16 pm
I know I am not in the running for winning this thing, as I totally botched one of the questions.
BUT, I still take issue with Q8. Did you mean US soldiers, or soldiers in general? Because you did not specify… so soldiers total would be WWII, US soldiers would be the Civil War.
missg On Thursday, March 25 at 2:16 pm
On number 8) you did not specify American Soldiers?
Jana On Thursday, March 25 at 2:18 pm
Can you give us the totals for question #8? That was the question that I had the hardest time with and I put WW2 because I found somewhere that Russia alone had about 3 million soldiers killed and there were only about 600,000 soldiers killed in the civil war. I've probably got the wrong information, so I'm just curious to see what the REAL numbers are!:)
charlane On Thursday, March 25 at 2:18 pm
I think "Civil War" is wrong because that is the that killed the most US soldiers..not total soldiers or am I wrong?
Shabnam On Thursday, March 25 at 2:20 pm
Thanks for doing these!! I like the morning quiz time (even though I had a conflict and was not able to get to it until the evening this time). During the evening I'm usually putting my kids to bed or something. I'm two hours ahead so during the day hits just at about my lunch break!
I guess you'll see my answers but may disagree with Civil War unless you meant US soldiers? And the last film in which John Wayne "appeared" since he "appeared" in one 1993. I thought you were trying to be tricky…joke's on me, huh?
One day my schedule will allow me to be in the triple digits in your comments! Thanks for doing these. It's a great exercise for the brain! (and google).
wanda On Thursday, March 25 at 2:21 pm
REE my husband said he dont care what you said ww2 lost the most solders but i am never asking him anymore questions , but
i was impressed that he got the yarn question right and the absolute zero question and then he called me an old bat love you Ree
Kay On Thursday, March 25 at 2:24 pm
Oh, Ree, I hate to be one of those annoying people who complains when you announce the "correct" answer and it differs from what they chose as the "right" answer, but here goes…
For question #8, you asked: "Which of the following four wars claimed the lives of the most soldiers?"
Most sources agree that the military casualities suffered in World War II range from 22 million to 25 million, while the Civil War claimed the lives of between 618 thousand and 620 thousand.
I mean no disrespect to American military members (past & present) or their families, but the wording of question #8 mentions only "soldiers", not *American* soldiers. Clearly, answer "d – World War II" correctly answers the question as it was asked, because more soldiers — worldwide — died in that war than in any of the others you listed. My apologies if this comment bothers some people, but I thought it should be noted.
Thank you for offering these quizzes.
misspfui On Thursday, March 25 at 2:25 pm
@ #21, susan:
look at your number 19 there. it's 99 – so two nines
Amelia On Thursday, March 25 at 2:25 pm
Agree with post-ers on Question #8, post-er #13 on John Wayne question and with with post-er #40 on the farenheit question. Didn't know what you were looking for in terms of metric–perhaps it would have been clearer, "-459.67 degrees farenheit is equal to 0 degrees (blank)."
I dig the (east coast) lunch time quiz start. Did it on my lunch break.
Rose D. On Thursday, March 25 at 2:26 pm
I agree, #8 didn't specify American Soldiers. (I'm out anyway, due to missing the two nines in 99)
Kelly On Thursday, March 25 at 2:26 pm
This is the first quiz I've done, but the morning time basically eliminates any chance of me doing it regularly. (I have class then.) I hate that – so much fun. I love stuff like this.
Jill On Thursday, March 25 at 2:27 pm
Since you asked, I do not like the new time. My kids and I attend story time every Wednesday at 10:00 AM. Please go back to Sunday at 5. Thanks a bunch!
Beth On Thursday, March 25 at 2:29 pm
Oh shoot! I read the war question wrong, and thought it asked which had the LEAST number of casualties. Dang, I always seem to make a stupid mistake on these quizzes and blow it!
Laurie in MInne*SNOW*ta On Thursday, March 25 at 2:31 pm
LOL…I was SO proud of myself for counting 99 as two 9's…but neglected the REST of the 90's!!
Shabnam On Thursday, March 25 at 2:31 pm
Here's the link for the last picture in which John Wayne "appeared" in case you're interested. I was going to be a smarty pants and put shootist first and then add the one he appeared in posthumously. Clearly I'm not a smarty pants! :O Thanks again for doing these!! They are so much fun! And I do them with my husband who usually knows so much more about history and geography due to his Spanish education! ;0
ElizabethLS On Thursday, March 25 at 2:31 pm
I know I didn't win because I missed #20 (stupid mistake on my part) but I really like the time of day you had this quiz!
Danielle B On Thursday, March 25 at 2:35 pm
For those of you confused about the number of 9's, it's 20.
9, 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99 (2 of them in 99) = 20
wendysuzyq On Thursday, March 25 at 2:38 pm
Well I am glad I am not the only one that misunderstood #8! WAHHHHH!
Andrea On Thursday, March 25 at 2:40 pm
It was very hard for me to participate, since I was at work for the first 6 hours the quiz was posted.
Sarah B. On Thursday, March 25 at 2:42 pm
Hello! Love these quizzes, but just wanted to weigh in that I prefer the evening ones. I didn't even get to this one, so that shows how good morning is for me! Thanks!
Krista B On Thursday, March 25 at 2:43 pm
So close – yet so far away! I was foiled by #20 – it was 11 AM my time and was trying to fit it in quick on my phone between meetings at work the 6 PM your time ones work for me because that is right after my little ones go to bed.
Michelle On Thursday, March 25 at 2:43 pm
omg thank you Danielle B!! LOL I am a total idiot!! LOL I forgot about all the 90s LOL Thanks!
Robyn On Thursday, March 25 at 2:44 pm
Grr…I had them all right…until you changed the answer to the controversial #8. I am Canadian, but since you are American, I just assumed you meant American troops…hence "the Civil War".
Scott On Thursday, March 25 at 2:44 pm
I don't see any comments about #9 (the highest mountain before Alaska became a state):
The answer should still be Mount McKinley. This is a bit confusing, as you say "before Alaska became a _state_" and then "tallest _U.S._ mountain", NOT "tallest U.S. mountain inside a US state. Alaska was a district and then territory of the US well before it became a state in 1959. I would still consider Mt. McKinley to be a US mountain at this time. Note, barring this would be akin to saying that the White House, residing in the District of Columbia, is not a U.S. building.
stacey c. On Thursday, March 25 at 2:47 pm
LOVE the new morning quiz time!
Crunchy On Thursday, March 25 at 2:47 pm
I missed #8; I read "American" into the question. AHH!!
However I was going to take issue with the John Wayne question, but I see Shabnam has beaten me to the punch. No problem!
Thanks for doing the footwork on these! My kids had a blast doing this one! We were racing looking stuff up.
Catherine On Thursday, March 25 at 2:48 pm
I think the answer to #20 should be 1! The number 9
Alena On Thursday, March 25 at 2:48 pm
I like it in the morning. I'm actually able to do it in the morning during Sophia's morning nap! Which means I may never be first, but at least I'll have a chance!
Chrissie M On Thursday, March 25 at 2:50 pm
Loved the new time. The evening ones are always during the time we're getting our son ready for bed and I always miss it. Proud of myself got all of them right but the war question. I went with American soldiers. . need to read a little better next time
Emily V On Thursday, March 25 at 2:50 pm
I think you should toss out #8. I've been in many a classroom where the overwhelming majority of students pointing out the error would cause the teacher to drop the question from the quiz altogether.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that #8 was the only question I missed….
Theresa On Thursday, March 25 at 2:52 pm
I didn't mind the morning (noon my time) quiz but I probably prefer the evening (8 or 9 pm my time =P) one just because then my smartypants hubby is home and can help me- I had to call him yesterday about the -459.69 F question LOL! and it's a good thing I have a niece with Justin Beiber's CD and that my daughter just happened to notice it when we were over their house or I wouldn't have gotten that one! Although my daughter only remembered that his name "was Jason B or something" and that was enough =]
anyway thanks for the FUN, Ree!
Jennifer On Thursday, March 25 at 2:53 pm
I can't participate in daytime quizzes because I teach during the day. Sad I missed this one, but I think I may want to do smartypants quizzes in my own classroom for extra credit
Minnie On Thursday, March 25 at 2:54 pm
I thought the last one was a trick question, there's only one 9, the rest have nine's in them but aren't called nine…I get too many of those emails with the trick questions. (plus, I'm a smart-a** myself…lol)

Great fun! Thanks.
Shannon R On Thursday, March 25 at 2:55 pm
I was confused on #8, too. Since Revolutionary War and Civil War were included in the answer choices, I just assumed the question meant American soldiers. Which would make Civil War the correct answer.
Becky J On Thursday, March 25 at 2:56 pm
Well, NOW I am disappointed – I had them all right INCULDING #8, because I read your mind correctly, Ree (I answered Civil War), if not your exact question…. Shoot. Oh, well…. Love the quiz!
Janie On Thursday, March 25 at 2:57 pm
Dang.. I had them all right, until the q8 issue. I interpreted it as American soldiers. Oh well, maybe next time. I do love the quizzes in the morning

How would someone know from just a list of movies that John Wayne has been in, that La Classe Americaine was a combination of all his old movies?

We (daughter and I) love the morning quizzes. We are too busy on Saturday evenings to do them. Maybe you can alternate to please everyone?! Thank you for doing them.
HopSing On Thursday, March 25 at 2:59 pm
I liked the morning quiz time. It's nice to change it around so that different folks have a chance to work it into their schedules. Thanks so much for the quizzes. They are a blast!
Joanna from Colorado On Thursday, March 25 at 3:00 pm
I liked the morning quiz time. It's when I'm most in learning-mode.
Marcy On Thursday, March 25 at 3:02 pm
Was in PW's brain cause I was thinking American soldiers!
Gabriele Smith On Thursday, March 25 at 3:02 pm
No nitpicking here – I'm just thrilled to have gotten all the answers right for once! I'm giving myself a big shiny star sticker, just cuz I can!
Melissa On Thursday, March 25 at 3:05 pm
Haha, I actually got one wrong! It was fun, though. I got the one wrong I shouldn't have, too! I can't wait for the next one.
Sarah A. On Thursday, March 25 at 3:06 pm
Sorry to add to the "You got #8 wrong!" pile-on! Thank you for your awesome blog and super-fun quizzes. I like evening because it's just me, I can concentrate, and if I'm lucky, answer really fast *and* get them all right. (Maybe someday!) The daytime quiz was great, too, because my 3 kids got to help out. It took a little longer, but we all learned some neat stuff! Thanks again xoxo
misspfui On Thursday, March 25 at 3:07 pm
loved the new quiz time btw. apparently i'm not great with calculating the accurate time difference (i thought pacific time to finnish time was +10 hours?), so i took the quiz an hour too late.
Rebecca Robinson On Thursday, March 25 at 3:08 pm
Well, I really screwed up #20. I thought you were referring to the English sentence, "How Many 9's Are There Between 1 And 100?" and said zero because the only thing between your 1 and your 100 in that sentence is the character string " And ". I think I tend to read riddles into questions too often!
Kristin On Thursday, March 25 at 3:10 pm
oops, I thought #20 said how many 9's between 1-10! My answer would have been right if that was the question. Darn!
Jessica C On Thursday, March 25 at 3:12 pm
aw maaan… i was so proud of myself for completing the quiz, but now i see i got a couple wrong =P one day i will win that kindle you so generously offer so often!! =)
Solange On Thursday, March 25 at 3:15 pm
I'm not nitpicking…but i googled that temperature and nothing came up…I googled the correct answer and I got the answer…I got all of them right but that one!!
Love you anyways!
Linda Irwin On Thursday, March 25 at 3:18 pm
ok, I was on the wrong post! I see that now! lol

Pour over cone vs French Press coffee
Is the pour over cone type coffee any better or worse than french press coffee? Do people find it more convenient?
I currently have Keurig, but I am think of switching for cost/quality reasons. I understand I'll never match the ease of that, but I really don't want to make too much of a production out of coffee.

Alex Werder
Hometown: East Brunswick, NJ
Major: Political Science
Minor: Chinese
Study Abroad: China (Beijing and Harbin Extended Term)
Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: Coffee
Best Adjective to Describe You: Active
In 10 words or less, why should a student want to be involved in this department?
Learning a new language helps us think in new way.
What initially drew you to this department? What keeps you coming back?
3 trimesters of a language is one of only a few graduation requirements that we have at K. But there is no reason why requirements should not also push us outside of our comfort zone. For anyone that has never studied an East Asian language, Chinese is a challenge, no doubt about it. But what keeps me coming back is the sense of accomplishment and excitement as my language level improved to the point where I lived for a full year in China. If you asked me 3 years ago if that would've been my story, I would have told you that you were nuts!
What's your biggest piece of advice to first years and sophomores in this department?
When you decide what language to study at K, keep study abroad in mind. After you leave K, the chances to pick up and live abroad for 3, 6, or 9 months at a time are next to none. Take this once in a lifetime chance to explore a part of the world that you might not have the guts to otherwise on the adventure of a lifetime that is study abroad.
How does your department connect to your other interests and activities?
One fifth of the world speaks Chinese and I am planning on going into either law or politics. Both fields will undoubtedly be engaging with China in the foreseeable future and I am not only studying a language I am interested in, but getting a leg up on others in my field.
What's the most valuable thing you've learned at K?
There is no other time in life that people want to help you as much as they do when you are a college student and no community that you will ever be a part of for the rest of your life will be solely designed to support you on your path to success. Don't let it go to waste!
What has been your favorite class at K? Why?
My sophomore seminar Human Rights and International Law has absolutely been my favorite class at K. This class ignited my interest in the law and was an opportunity to see my political interests channeled into a meaningful field of study.
What is your SIP?
My SIP is going to take an in-depth look at the American Constitution and the American people's relationship to our founding document. Founding to Floundering: How Constitution Worship Brought the American Political System to the Brink.
What are your career aspirations/next steps after K?
Pending successful completion of the LSAT, probably heading off to law school!

Battle of Khylo (or Khylo as it is known) similarly to Foefire, is a structured PvP map. Unlike Foefire however, its secondary mechanic isn't guild lords but trebuchets. Like all the other sPvP maps, Khylo is a conquest map with three capture points. The first team to 500 points is the winner and although manning your team's trebuchet won't provide you points directly (unlike killing the guild lord in Foefire) it will provide you with a devastating tool to turn the tides in your favour.
The three capture points are Windmill to the north of the map, Clocktower in the centre and Mansion to the south. The Blue team respawn in the northeast of the map and the Red team the southwest corners, with each team having to work their way out of their base to reach the capture points.
As briefly mentioned above, each team has a trebuchet just nearby to their base. The trebuchets are both on raised platforms for maximum height and spotting opportunities and can only be reached using the single ramp up to them. Interacting with the trebuchet will see your skills replaced with turn left, fire and turn right. Holding down the fire button (skill 2) will charge the trebuchet shot. The longer you hold the skill down (similar to channelling) the further your trebuchet will fire.
The trebuchet can comfortably reach all three capture points and deals massive damage to anyone struck by its fire. Not only does it deal huge damage but will also knock enemy players back and down, creating excellent spike opportunities. Having your party call targets on the points you are fighting on will allow you to quickly gain the upper hand as your trebuchet operator sends death from above.
As the trebuchet can be interacted with, it can also be destroyed by the opposing team. Although it can sustain a reasonable amount of damage, it doesn't take long for a single individual to render it useless. You can repair it by obtaining a repair kit (just near the Clocktower) but this is time consuming and requires you to carry the repair kit all the way back to the trebuchet. Protecting your trebuchet, rather than letting it be destroyed is a more practical approach.
Unlike Foefire or Forest of Niflhel, Khylo is a confined, scrappy affair. Littered with boxes and crates as well as tight paths and routes, melee users can excel here. Although there are some areas where you can take real advantage of ranged opportunities, such as on the gantry around the Clocktower, wide open spaces are few and far between.
Similarly to Sanctum at the centre of Foefire, the Clocktower is arguably the most important point in Khylo as it allows you access onto the surrounding gantry, to reach both the Mansion and Windmill quickly. The height advantage surrounding Clocktower also makes it incredibly easy to spot incoming players and tip off your trebuchet operator. Unlike in Foefire however, you can comfortably win without ever holding Clocktower simply by working your way around it.
Do's and Dont's of Kyhlo
In this section we've provided a list of what you should and shouldn't do during the course of a Khylo match. There is some overlap from our Foefire guide and our original Do's and Dont's, but we consider that certain principals apply across all structured PvP maps. This list is not exhaustive and if you have any suggestions of your own, do share them by leaving a comment below.
Do Plan Ahead
This includes your choice of weapons, skills, routes around the map and your role. Do you want to focus just on destroying the opponent's trebuchet? Do you want to just fire your team's trebuchet? Are you just going to capture points? Are you going to roam, killing off the opponent's players who are just capturing points? Are you taking a mixed role?
All of these require adaptation. If you are just firing the trebuchet, it's likely you'll spend a great deal of time being on your own or defending it by yourself, so taking several defensive skills will buy you time if you are attacked by multiple players. If taking capture points you'll need skills and weapon sets that help you traverse the map quickly. Skills that grant swiftness or passive speed increases such as Signet of the Hunt are great, while the Theif's Shortbow (Infiltrators Arrow) or Ranger Warhorn are two examples of excellent weapons for this role.
Don't Camp The Point
You might feel secure in a large group, but organised teams will easily work around you, snapping up capture points as your large group struggles to keep up. Or worse, fire a trebuchet right in the middle of you. All doing the same thing, such as 5 people securing the Clocktower when no opponents are there, is much less effective than splitting your team down to attack multiple points. Don't be afraid to pair up or go solo and break away from the pack. If you do have skills that grant swiftness, you couldn't be better placed than to roam and assist with capturing points.
Do Use The Trebuchet
It takes a little practice with the recent changes to the camera when operating, but after a few test fires you'll quickly be raining down death on your opponents. No only does it deal massive damage, but it also knocks opponents down. Its range can reach both the Windmill and the Mansion with ease so you can provide a great deal of support to your team who are fighting at capture points; choosing not to use the trebuchet, when the opposing team may be using theirs, will really make life difficult for you. The most effective tactic you can have is a "spotter" or "caller" which is one member of your team making use of the gantry around the Clocktower. This individual will quickly be able to tell you where opposing players are, allowing you to change targets when needed, to support your team mates on the ground.
Don't Ignore Their Trebuchet
As tempting as it is, ignoring the enemies trebuchet (if it is being operated) will see your team be at a huge disadvantage. Not only does it deal enormous damage, but also knocks anyone back that it hits. If your opposing team are using their trebuchet, stopping them quickly and destroying it will seriously delay their ability to deal massive damage to your team. Having to take time out to repair the trebuchet will buy you valuable time to secure capture points or kill anyone trying to secure the repair kit. If you have decided you are focusing purely on capturing capture points, it's a good idea to also task yourself with disrupting your opponent's use of the trebuchet. If you aren't confident in fighting someone 1 on 1, ask for help.
Do Destroy It Anyway
Even if your opponent isn't using their trebuchet, destroy it anyway. This will stop any of the opposing team who decide to suddenly use it, from doing so and will buy you precious time as they go off in search of a repair kit. It might appear a little out of your way but is well worth doing. By yourself, it might take around 60 seconds to disable the enemies trebuchet but this is a small period of time for what will undoubtedly save your team a headache later in the match. You should be aware however that you have to have direct damage skills to harm the trebuchet; conditions are no go!
Don't Camp The Clocktower
The Clocktower should be renamed "Please Fire At Me" as it is guaranteed to be the first target for anyone manning the trebuchet. Camping it, although guaranteeing you plenty of combat, will see you barraged constantly that most often than not, will result in your death. Get in, get it captured and get out (preferably through the windows!). If you insist on holding the Clocktower, the best thing to do is stand outside the windows so that you can still see the point but will be out of any trebuchet fire. That way you can jump back in if needed while still calling targets for players approaching other capture points.
Do Use the Gantry
As one of the highest points in the map (besides the roof) the gantry surrounding the Clocktower is an excellent vantage point. It quickly allows you to reach the other two capture points, spot incoming players and if you have a ranged weapon, attack from afar.
Don't Always Fight
Knowing when to pick your fights is the sign of a player being aware of the wider picture. Jumping into a fight when you know you will lose will only provide the opposing team with easy points and hinder your team, as you are forced to re-spawn. Turning away from combat and heading in the opposite direction to another control point will stretch the opposing team and provide you with valuable points.
Do Communicate
Talk to your team before the match starts and let them know what you plan on doing and let them know through the course of the match if it changes. Don't be afraid to call tactics and ask for someone to help you at a control point or attacking your opponent's trebuchet.
Do Be Wary of choke points
The slope up to the Windmill and stairs up to the Mansion are notorious choke points, especially if you only have melee weapons equipped. Ranged classes can cause huge damage to you on your way up or worse, will immobilise you and your group and rain down area of effect damage. Try to attack these capture points from both sides but be wary when doing so, the Red base over looks the Windmill and the Blue Base overlooks the Mansion, so you might run in to trouble.
Do Use the Clocktower Roof
It is the highest point on the map when stood on the roof and will allow you to gain a birdseye view of your surroundings. Unlike the gantry however, standing on the roof will only provide you with a view of the map and won't allow you any attacking opportunities (or very few) using the roof to reach the opposite side of the clock tower is much quicker than walking all the way around.
Don't Standstill
Even if you decide your build is best suited to defending capture points, arguably you will be doing a disservice to your team by just staying in one place. If you really don't want to stray too far from one particular control point, try to break the map down. Covering an area, from Clocktower to Windmill or Clocktower to Mansion will be much more effective.
Do Remember Capture Points
This might sound obvious and it's certainly fun just killing the opposing team, but the easiest way to secure points and quickly is to capture points! It might be less exciting waiting for a capture point to come under your team's control, rather than hitting someone in the face with a greatsword, but your team will see the benefits.
Don't Forget Your Repair Kit
If your team are unlucky enough to have their trebuchet destroyed, the best thing you can do is repair it as quickly as possible. You can find your repair kit just outside the entrance to the Clocktower at either end. Once you've interacted with the repair kit you'll not be able to use any skills but can drop the bundle if you get into trouble. The best tactic is to have another member of your team come with you, not only to escort you but preferably one who can cast area of effect swiftness, so you can run much quicker to your disabled trebuchet.

Treb is not so hard if you
Treb is not so hard if you just allow yourself the time to learn where your activation bar is and where you need to be pointed for each location. If you pay attention, it doesn't take long to become pretty fast at switching target areas. Khylo is the tightest fighting of any map currently out, and I know I am guilty of not paying enough attention to line of sight for defensive purposes. If you are getting hammered, jump a wall or dodge around a corner.

Oral History of the Public School Principalship
The Oral History of the Public School Principalship gathers the knowledge and wisdom of former public school administrators, most of who served in the Clark County School District (CCSD) during the past 30 to 40 years.
People to be interviewed are identified with the assistance of present and former CCSD personnel. They are then interviewed by advanced graduate students in the department of educational leadership on an extensive number of educational issues. These are issues of interest to educators in the district, the state, and the nation.
Following transcription and classroom discussion/ analysis of the output, copies of the interviews are filed in hard-copy format with the Special Collections Division of UNLV's Lied Library. In addition, copies are uploaded to a website that provides access to scholars and others seeking information on local school operations. The project is part of a nationwide collection effort underway since 1986.

Towson running back Terrance West and Maryland defensive back Dexter McDougle were among the 335 players officially invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis later this month.
West will use the agility, speed and strength drills at the Combine to try to convince NFL executives that the gaudy numbers he put up at Towson can successfully transfer to the NFL.
West, a 5-foot-11, 223-pound Baltimore native, opted to leave Towson with one year of eligibility left.
West ran for 2,509 yards and had 42 total touchdowns this season -- both Football Championship Subdivision records -- as he led the Tigers to the national championship game. He finished his Towson career with 86 career touchdowns -- three shy of Brian Westbrook's NCAA record for the former I-AA division --and 4,584 rushing yards.
West, who has been training in Florida to prepare for the Combine, has been viewed as a mid-round draft pick, but some analysts believe he could go as high as the second round.
McDougle, the lone Terps player invited to the Combine, missed most of his senior season after suffering a shoulder injury against Connecticut in September. McDougle, a 5-10, 195-pound cornerback, is viewed as a final-round draft pick or rookie free agent candidate.
Another player of local interest invited to the Combine was Virginia Tech cornerback Kyle Fuller, a Baltimore native who attended Mount St. Joseph. Fuller, a projected second-round pick, would become the third Fuller brother to reach the NFL.
West, incidentally, was one of 85 underclassmen invited to the Combine; a record 96 underclassmen declared for the draft, with 11 of them not invited to the Combine.
One of those not invited was New Haven tight end Mike Flacco, the younger brother of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. Mike Flacco, 26, was in the Orioles minor league system before returning to play for New Haven last season. The 6-foot-5, 245-pounder played just one season of college football before declaring for the draft.

Louise Redknapp showed off her summer tan on the red carpet at the 2011 GQ Men Of The Year Awards in London tonight.
Her gorgeous blue Stella McCartney Fall 2011 dress hugged her in all the right places, but she appears to be too broad for this look.
The dress has an athletic style top half with a velvet lower half with black side panels.
The TV presenter accessorized with simple black heels and an embellished Bottega Veneta clutch. She also wore a chic timepiece and diamond cocktail rings.
Lazy hair completed Louise's look.
You may recognize this dress as it has already been worn by Penelope Cruz to the Cannes Film Festival "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" Photocall.
