Spring 2004: Infancy
Office Hours: TBA
I am interested in the development of visuo-spatial understanding, cognition, and attention in infants and preschool age children. I am involved in two streams of research, one of which addresses the question of how infants learn about their visuospatial environment with regard to the statistical regularities inherent in their perceptual world, and the other of which investigates the roles of attention and memory in both preschoolers' and adults' task switching abilities. I employ several different methodologies in my research projects, using both corneal reflection eye-tracking and habituation/dishabituation with infants, executive function tasks with preschoolers/adults, and EEG/ERP recordings from infants.
To learn more about my work, please vist the website of my resarch group, the Learning Lab. You can also download my CV or download some of my recent papers.

The New Springville woman spent time in Illinois after elementary school; she also attended college in Virginia. But she's always returned.
Sixteen years after moving to her West Shore neighborhood, the mother of three is glad to be so close to everything she needs.
Ms. Letendre, a substitute teacher at St. Patrick's School in Richmond, said her four-bedroom home, which includes an apartment and basement, is perfect for her family, which includes her snow-bird parents when they're in New York.
Plus, "The shopping here is just unbelievable."
It's convenient to be able to walk to the many stores in New Springville, and it reminds Ms. Letendre of shopping in Brooklyn.
"It's accessible to everything. It's pretty nice," she said. "I love it."
In addition, the schools in her neighborhood are very good.
"It's everything a person could ask for," Ms. Letendre noted.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Niagara's rise to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference title with one of the nation's younger teams earned Joe Mihalich the league's coach of the year award Thursday night at the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Picked fifth in the conference preseason poll, Niagara blew away expectations by going 13-5 and emerging atop the conference's best-balanced finish in at least a decade. This was the first time this millennium the MAAC had, in the same season, seven teams finish .500 or better in league play and six go .500 or better overall.
Iona's Lamont "Momo" Jones, the conference's leading scorer, received the player of the year honor, denying the bid of Niagara point guard Juan'ya Green to become the award's first sophomore winner since La Salle's Lionel Simmons in 1987-88.
Mihalich probably wrapped up the award when Niagara won two late-season road games with leading scorer Antoine Mason sidelined by an ankle injury. Niagara's the 40th youngest team among the nation's 325-plus Division I teams, according to statistics often cited by Mihalich.
"When I say this it's going to sound self-serving and I don't want it to sound that way, but when you get honored in a game like this it does mean something," said Mihalich, a three-time winner. "This is a league of good coaches. I mean, every team, every coach, I have an enormous amount of respect for. There's not an easy game. One win's a lot so to get 13, we're really proud of that."
Mihalich thanked and named all three of his assistants — Kyle Neptune, Mike Farrelly and Shane Nichols. "I'm not trying to get corny here, but my staff's phenomenal," Mihalich said. "They're awesome. When I hire an assistant, I don't hire a guy who's not eventually going to be a head coach, who doesn't want to be a head coach. And I'm hard on them. I'm no day at the beach. So you feel like a hypocrite because you're up there and you get recognized and they don't get as much as they should."
Other award winners
Men: Defense Player of the Year – Rhamel Brown, Manhattan; Newcomer of the Year – Shane Reynolds, Manhattan, and Amadou Sidibe, Fairfield.
Women: Coach of the Year – Brian Giorgis, Marist; Player of the Year – Damika Martinez, Iona (a sophomore); Defensive Player of the Year – Leanne Ockenden, Marist; Newcomer of the Year – Joy Adams, Iona.
Tournament action
The men's action gets under way with tonight's pre-quarterfinals. The winner of the 8-9 game between Marist and Siena moves on to face Niagara at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. No. 5 Canisius plays No. 4 Iona at 4:30 Saturday.

Biology Dept. News
Student News:
Senior Toni-Ann Mastracchio transferred to SCSU with a background in veterinary science and an interest in animal ethics; she is the advisee of Dr. Dunbar. She is currently applying to research-intense graduate programs, most notably Colorado State University. As such, Toni-Ann has been in contact with the esteemed Dr. Temple Grandin (internationally recognized expert in livestock animal behavior and advocate for autism) to discuss potential research projects within the university's College of Agricultural Sciences. Toni-Ann thanks the Biology Department for helping her pursue her dream. Best of luck, Toni-Ann!
Thomas Ferri (B.S. in Biology candidate) received the Spring 2015 Student Government
Association Undergraduate Research Fund to support his Independent Study and Research
on microbiomes in tropical bats. Tommy will travel to Belize to examine the quantity
and quality of gut microbes by diet type across several tropical bat species. His
data will help explain relationships between microbiomes and bat physiologies, species radiation and ecological
niches. This project is supervised by Dr. Miranda Dunbar and in collaboration with
Dr. Elizabeth Roberts.
Christopher Wisniewski (B.S. in Biology with Certification candidate) received the
Spring 2015 Student Government Association Undergraduate Research Fund to support
his Independent Study and Research on White-nose syndrome (WNS). WNS is a highly infectious fungal disease that is killing millions of bats in the
U.S. The spread and mortality is so great that it is predicted that once common species
will become extinct from our region. Chris will examine WNS from a variety of perspectives
in hopes to culminate data and create innovative conservation strategies and thus
help direct habitat/species management practices. This project is supervised by Dr.
Miranda Dunbar, and was recently highlighted on WTNH TV, FOXCT channels, and the New Haven Register.
SCSU Biotech Club members are now in the process of forming an iGEM team to compete at MIT for fall 2016. iGEM is the "International Genetically Engineered Machine" competition where interdisciplinary (usually Math, Physics, Biology, Computer Science, Chemistry) student teams perform a Synthetic Biology project over the summer to create or redesign genetic 'circuits' in living cells that allow the cells to perform a useful function for humans. If you are interested in joining the team, please contact Dr. Edgington, or the Club President by email, or come to their meeting. Look for their meeting starting up in the Fall 2015 semester.
FALL 2015 Club meeting times:
SCSu Biology Club: TBA, JE244.
SCSU Biotech / Syn-Bio Club: TBA, SCI bldg.
SCSU Botany Club: TBA, JE230.
All Majors are welcome for all of the clubs!
Faculty News:
Did you know that the SCSU Biology Dept. is involved in TWO
National educational programs?
Both programs seek to engage undergraduates and promote retention through performing
authentic research that is embedded within a course (also called a 'CUR', 'CURE',
or 'CRE'). Both courses in addition to providing content, seek to address a current
real-world global problem, and fulfill degree program requirements in the ''Cell/Molecular"
content category.
The 'Small World Initiative' (SWI) seeks to address the increasing problem of antibiotic resistant 'superbugs' or bacteria, by having students isolate soil microorganisms that may produce new antimicrobial products. The program was created at the Yale Center for Scientific Teaching. Dr. Roberts directs and incorporates the SWI program in the course BIO233 General Microbiology I for the first time this spring 2015, and annually thereafter.
The second program is called "SEA-PHAGES" and was created by Dr. Graham Hatfull and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Science Education Alliance division. The SEA-PHAGES acronym stands for "Science Education Alliance's Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science", and it is "a two-semester, discovery-based undergraduate research course that begins with simple digging in the soil to find new viruses, but progresses through a variety of microbiology [& molecular] techniques, and eventually to complex genome annotation and bioinformatic analyses." Dr. Edgington will be offering the SEA-PHAGES program to Biology Majors in two new courses (BIO 298 Genomics I, & BIO386 Genomics II). SCSU freshman students have already isolated nearly 60 novel bacterial viruses called 'bacteriophages' through the program. BIO 298 'Genomics I' will be offered for the first time this Fall 2015 term by 'Instructor permission required', so please email Dr. Edgington if you:
|(1) are a Freshman or Sophomore who plans to take both courses sequentially
|(2) have taken BIO102 or BIO103 ( BIO220 recommended)
|(3) have an interest in contributing data to an international program through lab-based research.
|(4) want to become a SCSU Phage Hunter!
The Biology department has a NEW International summer course (BIO327 Field Natural History in Belize, 3 credits, 2015) available for student registration for ecological studies with Dr. Dunbar in Belize. The course is at the Lamanai Outpost Lodge in northwestern Belize in the Orange Walk District, which is nestled in the jungle on the bank of New River and adjacent to the Lamanai Maya Archeological Reserve. The course for summer 2015 is currently full and has a waiting list. Contact Dr. Dunbar for additional details and questions.
The new science building opens this fall 2015!
The offices and research labs of Dr. Roberts, Crawford, and Edgington will be moving into the brand new Science Building this fall 2015 semester. They have been busy ordering equipment and planning the logistics of the move , which will likely occur in August. Stop by and say 'Hi' this fall!
Welcome NEW BIOLOGY FACULTY members:
The department welcomes three new faculty members, Dr. Meghan Barboza , Dr. Michael Fisher, and Dr. Rachel Jeffrey! See the Faculty/Staff webpage for more details.
Dr. Barboza's research interests include chemical signaling in aquatic mammals and microanatomic comparisons of chemoreceptive organs. Her overarching research question is 'How do aquatic mammals locate potential mates?' Her PhD research focused on the anatomic description of structures related to taste and smell in the Florida manatee as well as potential expressive organs such as anal glands. In addition Dr. Barboza completed behavioral research to determine whether male manatees can detect changes in female manatee urine from different reproductive states. Currently she is completing histologic examination of manatee facial and intraoral structures and is beginning to collect samples from other marine mammals including seals and cetaceans.
Dr. Fisher has broad training in Microbiology. His graduate thesis focused on the molecular mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis with an emphasis on respiratory infections. During his first postdoctoral fellowship he studied genetic variation in M. tuberculosis. Over the past several years he has changed research focus from bacterial pathogenesis to genetic regulation in cyanobacteria. The goal of his research is to genetically engineer strains of cyanobacteria for industrial application including bioproduct development and bioremediation. Dr. Fisher's strong belief that research and teaching are complimentary influences his pedagogy. Examples from research are often used in his courses and students are encouraged to critique this new information and infer broader implications of scientific research.
Dr. Jeffrey focuses her research on the neurobiology of memory. She specifically is interested in the synapse, the connection between two neurons, and how it changes on a molecular and biochemical level. Her Ph.D. research looked at how neurons signal from the synapse to the nucleus during long-term memory using primary cultured neurons. In her postdoctoral research she examined how proteins are modified at the synapse during memory using a complement of behavior paradigms, microscopy and biochemical tools in rodents Currently, she is characterizing the novel role of a family of proteins during memory. Her overarching goal is to include students in her research using microscopy, biochemistry, and behavior so that they appreciate both the material that they learn in class as well as the fascinating workings of the brain.
Other faculty news:
Dr. Roberts:
Dr. Roberts was recently awarded an NSF grant to aid in outfitting her lab with modern molecular biology equipment. She has also had a research manuscript with her postdoctoral PI, Steven Lindow, accepted for publication in the ISME journal. ISME journal is the premier journal in Dr. Roberts' field of microbial ecology with an impact factor of 8.951! A link will be posted when the paper is available online. The paper is titled: "Loline alkaloid production by fungal endophytes of Fescue species select for particular epiphytic bacterial microflora", Elizabeth Roberts PhD and Steven Lindow PhD. Finally, the Department congratulates Dr. Roberts for being awarded only one of two University-wide SCSU "Junior Faculty Fellowships" for the Spring of 2014, in which she will be able to spend the majority of her time advancing her productive research agenda due to a reduced teaching schedule. Dr. Roberts will be working on establishing a bioremediation system to remove Atrazine from soil using bacteria found on the leaves and roots of grasses.
Dr. Crawford:
Dr. Crawford has recently gained media attention for her research on Christmas fern extracts that have demonstrated anti-cancer properties in pre-clinical testing in tissue culture. Click here for the full article from SCSU News.
Dr. Edgington:
Dr. Edgington was one of six faculty around the country named a SEA-PHAGES 'Genome Inspection & Finishing Team (GIFT) Scholar' for the next year by the HHMI SEA-PHAGES program. During the winter break he helped to assemble, check, finish, and post eight bacteriophage genomes using bioinformatics computer programs. This June, he was a Faculty Facilitator to help teach a HHMI SEA-PHAGES In Situ workshop for the new 8th cohort SEA-PHAGES faculty and TA's at UMBC. Recently, he was also accepted into the second round of invitations to become an Oxford Nanopore Technologies "MinION Access Programme" participant. The MinION™ device is a small USB flash drive-sized instrument that can sequence long reads of DNA molecules in real-time using biological nanopores. Amazingly for data acquisition, the device is simply plugged into a USB3 port of a laptop. "Currently, several hundred participants in the MinION Access programme (MAP) are working with the MinION system to explore how its features - including long read lengths, real-time digital data, portability and compressed workflows - might help to answer a range of biological questions."

The ego mechanisms of defense (both "coping" and "defensive") were observed in the life-styles of 30 men over a 25-year period of prospective follow-up. The results suggest that most ego mechanisms of defense, although first described in pathologically abnormal populations, can be observed in an adult population specially selected for "health." For some individuals a fixed constellation of defensive styles persisted for decades. For others, choice of ego mechanism appeared to evolve parallel to a maturing life adaptation. Because of prolonged follow-up it was possible to define with some assurance the relative success of occupational, marital, and medical adaptation. Theoretically mature choices of ego mechanisms appeared clinically correlated with the more successful life adjustments.

What practical problems arise from leaving Jehovah's Witnesses? This question was inspired by a poster whose JW friend refused to be a reference for an apartment. I wonder if most JW's know deep down that they need to maintain some ties with non-JW's in case they find themselves either deciding to leave or ostracized for some reason.
Practical Problems Arising From Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses - not on jw.org

The key is to prepare before exiting. Make some worldly friends. Establish some contacts to help you get a job. At the very least, register with a temp agency, as temporary jobs often can lead to full-time employment.
If there are unbelieving relatives or friends from high school who will take you in until you get established, ask them for help. They may be delighted to help you exit the cult. It helped me to move to the other end of the country, where I had a cousin, and where jobs were plentiful at that time.
Best wishes to your friend. and to all struggling with becoming free,
The biggest problem has to be having to leave Bethel. Especially if you never developed any job skills, no money or health insurance.
Then there are the ex JW's who worked for another JW, so you get to lose your friends, job, maybe close family.
And some people wonder why some ex's don't DA themselves right away.
Maybe a non believer needs a year or two to get everything in place before they fade away.

"I wonder if most JW's know deep down that they need to maintain some ties with non-JW's in case they find themselves either deciding to leave or ostracized for some reason."
I think that's true of many dubs. While still a dub, I married a non-dub, despite the many warnings and threats from the elders. Subconsciously, I think I knew marrying a dub was to invite a world of trouble. It also helped that I loved my husband! After 41 years of marriage, I still do.
Rules for the Practical Side of Leaving the Dubs:
1. If any of your dub family wish to stay in touch with you, great. Discard all other dubs. They're dead weight.
2. Immediately get some education, whether academic or trade, to be able to make a decent living.
3. Read about the WTS cult and cults in general. This will remove any lingering doubts and will help you rescue any salvageable family.
4. You will have nightmares about being back in the cult. These are normal; they will fade.
5. Cultivate friendships among the "worldly." Join a club, develop a hobby, volunteer at the SPCA.
6. If you develop any doubts or fears about your decision, come to this site. We will help.
One of the most important life lessons is that real happiness comes from a combination of having a strong family, and giving service to something greater than yourself. this can actually give you true sustainable happiness.
everything else is really just fads. even sex in a way, if you have been sexually frustrated in the jw org and go out and start going sex crazy, even that wears off. what happens is it becomes more of a necessity , becomes an addiction if you lean on it too hard, and it will not give you happiness over time. anything that is not in the first sentence is just a vice that brings a temporary rush. it would be similar to buying a new ferrari; right away yea you will be really hyped, but over time, it isn't nearly the kick that it once was. and then what, as the years go by it just becomes less and less valuable.....pretty much anything that is outside that first sentence is going to fall all in this same category of being a quick rush that really won't do much for you overall.
happiness is a fundamental practical matter, shouldn't even really call it happiness, more like relative contentment. if you don't feel that you have some connection with a relative contentment and you leave the organization, it may be ugly. i know that if i didn't have what i have going on, and i just had some very minor responsibilities and not much else, (as well as the family and friends that have been telling me to get out of there for years) ,i would just dwell on all the negativity that the WT put into my life, and probably jump off a building. not trying to make a joke out of it at all. because from their perspective, you are now to be shunned and all that, so if you don't have something significant to step into , then you got a bunch of people thinking they are benefiting you by trying to make you feel like the biggest dick on earth....just could see how ugly that would get.
As the Saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. If your friends, family and source of income is all tied to the religion, it will be much more difficult to leave. Even if you are not yet ready to leave, start looking at broadening out in your relationships. It will seem strange at first, especially if you have never done this, but take baby steps at first.
Don't feel you have to explain anything to anyone, you are an adult, and answer to no one. The dubbies are good at butting into each other's lives, don't let them. Practice making people respect your boundaries. When some dubs came to my door and I told them I was a former Witness, they asked me what congregation I was from, as if they were entitled to that personal information. While I never should have told them anything, it really is none of their business. When I first left, I probably would have told them, I hadn't yet learned to put up those barriers. The less information given, the better.
The points raised in the OP highlight one of the main reasons the GB wants their followers to not form friendships with non-JWs: It keeps them dependent.
If and when you leave, you'll be all alone. Many can't make it so they return like an abused spouse.
raymond frantz
I knew this guy who left in the early 80's because he didn't accept the 607 chronology ,he didn't try to cause a problem ,he went about his business quietly .Problem was that his employer was JW and his wife was a JW too. Man ,did they percecute him like a dog? Name calling ,emotional blackmailing ,finally one extra active CO got his employer to sack him because his was an apostate .This place wasn't easy to find another job .I still remember him .All that time I thought he was a nasty apostate .These bastards I'll never forget for telling us lies ...
When I suggested to my JW acquaintance that something might be wrong with disfellowshipping b/c the disfellowshipped person loses his/her social structure, her exact words to me were, "They can find other people. They knew the deal before they got baptized." What do you think of her comment? Is she being fair or perhaps overly callous?
Return of Parakeet provided very sound advice. And 00Dad right on with your analysis as to the reason why.
Adding to RofP, it is extremely difficult for young adults to break free and start their life from scratch when they loose their entire support network, financially, physically and emotionally.
My kids friends, some whom are on the fence JWs are in that very predicament. They are confused, afraid the loose their family/friends and paralyzed with fear as how to enter the world, where or how to begin. They have been kept in a bubble their entire life as parents coddled and helicoptered over them fearing the end was coming before they would enter high school - and quite a few are home schooled. The few I have met are drifting aimlessly without emotional support from their own parents other than bribes to stay in, bribes of money, possessions, love etc, thereby hindering the growth of them into mature individuals who are self sufficient.
My heart goes out to these kids and I found that I have become a surrogate mother helping them with decision making when entering college, encouraging them when they need support, giving accolades when they do well and listening when they are feeling down. I want to see each and every young adult succeed. I was robbed of my youth and pursuing a higher education - the least I can do is help them!!
Many can't make it so they return like an abused spouse. ______00DAD
To shun is a barbaric way to control resources of those in need
Even in a divorce, a spouse has to pay support to the children
and sometimes transitional support
The absent parent is free to choose to shun the spouse and kids
their is no law that forces them to visit to my knowledge
but they are not free to shun life sustainin' support
JW business owners with close links to the organization but who have doubts about the organization have to carefully weigh up the pros and cons of leaving because it could have serious consequences for their business or employment and could even risk their livelihood.
A JW acquaintance of mine had a carpet cleaning business with quite a few JWs and JW-friendly customers. When his meeting attendance declined over a matter of months he was left in no doubt that he risked losing JW customers. He decided to become more regular in his meeting attendance and put in the occasional field service to reduce his anxiety over losing business. These gestures certainly helped allay his anxiety. Ulitimately though both he and his wife realized they were living a lie for the sake of the business and he purposely developed a customer base outside of his JW circles and he eventually left the organization.
There was a Robert Bryant and family in California that was df'd and lost all his customers. He and family moved to McMinnville and things seemed to be okay but then he killed his family and himself. There could have been other factors in play, but start picking up non-jw customers that won't drop you if you are inactive or df'd by jws.
When I had my own business, I made it a point not to work for other jws. It prevented misunderstandings and b eing stiffed by a jw customer.
To shun is to judge. Period. These fanatics don't even realize they are going against scripture in "judging" others.
What's worse, they don't judge for themselves, but according to the decision of a commitee that has judged for them.
They don't even have the curiosity to question the commitee! Absurd and wicked.
// When I had my own business, I made it a point not to work for other jws. It prevented misunderstandings and b eing stiffed by a jw customer.//
Smart move Blondie! I agree — NEVER do business with a JW. THey COUNT on the fact that you will never sue them.
Make sure you have a job not tied to JW - this is number 1!
I would recommend getting a job in a big company, or university, anywhere where there is a big group of people your own age (whatever that is ). Having a social network is so important. A lot of JW find socializing awkward, particularly out in the world. Work socializing makes it easier, because you already have something in common to talk about. A lot of big companies run sport teams, volunteer at charities etc, do it all.
Sport/ gyms give you another layer of social activity.
I think a practical problem can be the combination of extra free time & loss of all your old friends & activities. Tire yourself out, walk to work & home, get a second job on the weekends, to much spare time to think can be so hard....and can lead to self medicating with drugs and alcohol - not a good idea.
Also, if you grew up JW there are lots of things you just don't know, like politics, history, current affairs etc, start learning on the Internet, everything can be googled. If you don't know something and get caught out, just laugh, no one is judging you like they do in the org.
JW paint the world as a grim depraved place...it isn't so! It's full of amazing people and experiences!

MAD MEN 7x07: Everyone is starving
May 26, 2014 - Ray Eckenrode
Episode title: "Waterloo"
Significance: At the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon was defeated once and for all after his 100-day return from exile on the Isle of Elba. In 1969, Don Draper, back from exile for just about 100 days, escapes a similar fate thanks to the timely death of Bert Cooper, the cunning (and dare we say leadership) of Roger Sterling and the dollar signs in the eyes of Pete Campbell and Joan Harris.
Time passages: The episode takes place during the week of July 16-22, 1969, as Apollo 11 carries men to the moon for the first time.
Episode essay I:
Quick hits:
Historical notes:
About last week: A sentiment we've expressed a couple times over the years is the idea that "Mad Men" is largely about convincing us the idyllic America of the '50s didn't really exist. It didn't really dawn on us until a few days later that Peggy expressed that exact sentiment last week.
Sweet tweets:
Lines of the night:
Next week: Ugh, there is no next week as "Mad Men" disappears for nine months or so before the final seven episodes run next spring, even though they are being shot as you read this (and won't it be interesting to see how spoilerphobe Matt Weiner keeps that under wraps for that long).

SUMMIT POINT - Summit Point has seen a lot of baseball and softball teams winning and playing tough this summer.
The league sent four teams to the Virginia state tournament and three teams to the Southeast Regional tournament in Glen Allen, Va.
Although the 12U and 14U Summit Point Tsunami played hard to take home their respective state titles, and the 10U was runner-up, it was the youngest of the bunch that ultimately took home the biggest title it could.
Article Photos
Members of the 10U Southeastern Regional champions in Babe Ruth softball from Summit Point include Hannah Ruffner, Lizzy Condon, Alyssa Petrarca, Sophie Crowder, Allie Lamp, Natalie James, Sophie Pell, Mallory Steele, Mallory Zajicek and Kaley Powers. Coaches are Kenny Ruffner and Charlie Lamp and manager Rich Pell. (Submitted photo)
The 10U Tsunami went all their way in their division to win the Southeast Regional, the final tournament for the age group, taking the championship.
It was a first for Summit Point.
Their journey started as the USSSA Northern Virginia Invitational champions where they went 5-0 in the recreational division. The 10U girls then became the Virginia state runner-up after losing the championship game to Rockville, Va.
That led them to the home stretch.
The Tsunami avenged their state championship loss, beating Rockville 7-2 in the final four bracket of the regional tournament. Avenging their only other loss, Summit Point also won 9-2 over Pitt County, N.C. in the championship, after dropping their first game in pool play to the North Carolina team.
"They were excited to play the team that gave them their only loss," manager Rich Pell said of his girls. "When we lost to them, we didn't swing the bat very well."
In the two teams' first faceoff, the Summit Point girls had trouble at the plate, striking out 13 times. A much improved offense, striking out only three times in the rematch, and no errors capped an overall strong tournament.
"There wasn't one girl that carried the team. It was a team effort," Pell said.
Summit Point never trailed during the regional tournament, and all 10 girls on the team had at least one hit and scored a run. Their coach said that one or two hitters did what the team needed offensively each game.
"It could have been our No. 1 hitter or our No. 7 hitter," Pell said.
The two big wins of revenge told the story of the rest of the tournament, which Pell said had pretty much all lopsided wins for his team.
The Tsunami outscored opponents 46-16 in regionals, and even at the state level, Summit Point was big on offense, outscoring the opposition 54-25.
"Our pitching led the way, but without the hitting and fielding, we couldn't have done what we did," the manager said.
He added that he felt their tough pitching gave the other girls an extra boost in confidence. They relied on three arms on the mound to pull them through defensively, Natalie James, Hannah Ruffner and Sophie Pell.
"I could put any of them out there, and I could get strikes from them," he said, adding that those strikes helped the fielders' confidence, knowing they could depend on the pitchers.
Rich Pell mentioned that he saw a strong outfield in the championship game, and the girls held tough on the fundamentals of softball.
"They didn't do anything flashy. They just did what they needed to do," Pell said, pleased that his whole team contributed and held strong to lead them to the Southeast Regional title.
There is no World Series for this age group in the Babe Ruth organization.

In the hours that I have had to digest that glorious performance in Barcelona, I have been trying continually to make sense of what happened but I'm not sure that I can. The sheer scale of achievement against such seemingly insurmountable odds is breathtaking. And it was done by the team that I have followed for my entire life.
Never have I felt so honoured to be affiliated to Chelsea Football Club. You could roll Rorke's Drift and the Spartans at Thermopylae into one and still the ten heroes clad in white would merit comparison. Perhaps that is over-doing it a bit and maybe if I read that last statement back to myself when the dust settles on this season I will be a touch embarrassed to compare a football pitch to the battlefield. But right now that is exactly how it feels.
In a match overflowing with so much incident it is impossible to know where to start. Take Gary Cahill's injury and the introduction of the hitherto unreliable Jose Bosingwa; take Busquets' smart opener; take John Terry's moment of utter madness; take the swift incision of Andres Iniesta's goal; take Ramires' exquisite chip following Lampard's perfectly weighted through ball; take the penalty miss by the world's best player; take Lionel Messi then hitting the post; take Fernando Torres casting his demons aside in injury time. The match had turning point after turning point. The peaks and troughs of hope and despair were unlike anything I have witnessed in 30 years of watching football.
But if I thought I had experienced the full spectrum of emotions, spare a thought for those who will miss the final in Munich. Geoff Shreeves' merciless bursting of Branislav Ivanovic's happy bubble by informing him that his booking at Camp Nou triggered a suspension was horribly misjudged. The question might have been valid but perhaps better placed at the end of the interview rather than as the very first question. Watching Ivanovic's heart break live on television was one of the most gut-wrenching post-match interviews I have ever seen.
The loss of Ramires from the final is possibly even more distressing such was the Brazilian's impact on both legs of the semi-final. His tireless energy was exemplary as was his quite magnificent finish on the stroke of half time and, together with Drogba and the indefatigable Ashley Cole – has anyone ever seen two better performances from a left back than he has provided in the last seven days? – he encapsulated the desire and spirit of this reborn Chelsea team. Ramires will be sorely missed so Michael Essien will need to accelerate his return to form if he is to ably fill his shoes.
A special mention must also go to Raul Meireles, a player for whom I have previously found trouble hiding my disdain. However, I stand corrected. He has improved markedly since Roberto Di Matteo's installation in the managerial hotseat and his second half display yesterday was his best 45 minutes in a blue shirt. Patrolling just in front of the penalty area in tandem with Lampard, the pair hunted down Barcelona's advancing midfield and blunted the European champions' main area of attack. John Obi Mikel is another to flourish under the new regime and has transformed perceptions in a matter of weeks. Previously deemed to be one of those destined for the exit door this summer he now, aged just 25, looks to be an integral part of the club's future. He will have to maintain this level of performance of course but maybe, just maybe, he is about to fulfil his potential.
One player that has not attracted any plaudits is Terry. Only he will know what went through his head when he decided to send a message to Alexis Sanchez via a raised knee. Our captain trotted out the familiar refrain of those who have grossly overstepped the mark when he insisted that he was "not that type of player". But in his case, he is correct which makes his actions all the more mystifying. His attempts to excuse himself were almost laughable but he has since apologised and I, for one, am prepared to forgive him. No player has given more to the Chelsea cause – perhaps in the entire history of the club – than John Terry. Remember he has been playing with broken ribs for the past few weeks and anyone who has suffered that injury will tell you quite how painful and hindering that can be. His punishment – which is fully deserved – is that he will watch events in Bavaria from the sidelines and that is punishment enough.
Among the plethora of outstanding displays, there was one that was not so obvious. One that has merited some attention but maybe not as much as it should. That of referee Cuneyt Cakir. There was understandable concern prior to kick off that such a huge match riven with history and sub-plot was handed to someone without previous experience of the Champions League knockout stages. Yet he controlled proceedings with the air of a veteran. He correctly called all the major decisions with the possible exception of the penalty but I confess that at the time it looked like a clear spot-kick to me. He had no choice but to send Terry from the field and he was wise both to Drogba's attempts at time-wasting and the futile attempts from Barcelona players to win cheap free-kicks.
Apart from all the things that ultimately matter such as goals, red cards and penalty misses, there were also less obvious memories that gave the body a fuzzy glow. Tell me who amongst you didn't smile at Lampard showing Cesc Fabregas who was boss by following up an earlier tussle with a scything challenge to halt a Catalan counter-attack? The pair have previous and Frank was never going to back down against his former Arsenal adversary. Less bone-crunching and more heart-warming were the celebrations at the final whistle. Images of Cole on his knees while smiling to the heavens and Bosingwa's expression of delight mixed with disbelief will never fade but seared into the back of the mind is the footage of Drogba charging exultant from the bench to embrace Torres in the wake of the Spaniard's tie-sealing strike.
After 90 minutes of nerves being shredded, you could not have hoped for a more perfect ending but for all the ecstasy enjoyed by Chelsea it was hard not to be impressed by those clad in Barcelona colours, whether on the pitch or in the stands. After the match was put beyond doubt by Torres, the Camp Nou erupted in applause. How much of it was aimed at Chelsea's performance is unclear but it was an impressive display of loyalty to a Barca team that has given them so much pleasure over the last few years. The vanquished players were dignified in defeat, waiting to shake hands with the victors, and in the ensuing morass of interviews Pep Guardiola and his charges – with the notable exception of a certain former Gunner – were all magnanimous in their praise of Chelsea despite the crushing weight of disappointment on their shoulders.
But top level sport is ultimately about the winners and last night was a night not just to remember but to relive again and again. Whatever happens in Munich, 24th April 2012 will have a permanent place in the pantheon of great Chelsea moments and has a valid claim to be the greatest of them all.

Thank you..I love that
"Whatever happens in Munich .. "
NOOO, chelsea MUST win it!!!
I dont know what to stay really. Chelsea all day everyday baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UCL Trophy here we come
Got me in tears of joy with such dramatic win from CHELSEA!
Blues up up in the air...
You've said it all.
Phil, that was a great read. Rourke's drift sprang to my mind also. Ashley Cole's never say die as he competed for a ball down by the corner flag just as we had gone 2-0 down on the night was inspiring as was Drogba's "go out and fight" message to Torres when he came on. We lost four players and Bayern have lost three through bookings. It has crossed my mind that Yossi might actually be available via an appeal as the loan will have ended. Having said that the banned players might turn out to be a blessing in disguise as there are a bunch who will not have one eye on the final and hence will probably compete above the norm and inspire the others to do the same. Plus of course we get the other spur of a ongoing sense of injustice. I believe fourth and winning both cups is a real possibility. RDM can certainly rest Cole and Lampard a bit - Drogba too.
Bayern have three more games - the league has gone from them so there is nothing to play for in two of the matches as their position
(post continued) cannot change thus there will be the danger they go off the boil. Then a week before the CL final they have the German cup whilst we have Blackburn at home who hopefully (I'm such a bad sport!) will have been relegated by then and will just roll over and die. I am praying for extra-time, high drama and a demoralizing defeat for Bayern in that match. I firmly believe that we are watching destiny unravel before our very eyes. If you are coming to the friendly in Philly drop me a line. I will be there with a friend and may be able to get us behind the scenes.
Great article! Torres with the dagger was my favorite moment!
Phil, a piece of great accolade that every Chelsea fan will agree with you but an ominous lack of recognition for Roberto Di Matteo. This is the missing piece of jigsaw puzzle.,
RDM is unsung hero of this Chelsea's revival and nothing can be taken away from him by motivating Chelsea players to believe in themselves and Chelsea don't need another Mourinho or Guardiola, he rightfully deserves the job. Apart from having good tactics, he builds harmony in Chelsea's dressing room. I think all Chelsea fans will be disappointed if he is not appointed. RDM has both Chelsea's blood and DNA.
Chelsea is now in the final stretch and the players need belief and conviction that they can with both the Champions League and FA Cup. It is really immaterial who is available or not because of suspensions, as long as the team performs as a unit. In a game, they have to mutually compliment each others' strengths and help out in areas of weaknesses. Chelsea has the reserves to beat all odds!
Bravo, what a perfect recap.
Great article and assessment. Chelsea were worthy winners and although an Arsenal supporter I loved every minute of Chelsea putting those arrogant Catalans in their place. Hopefully you can go on to beat a very good Bayern in Munich. It would be another miracle but who doesnt believe now!
The one sour note was Terry. I know you Chelsea supporters love him but to say this is out of character is a joke. The guy is s dirty as they come. I rememebr in the first leg when Puyol hurt his hand and was obviously saying something to Terry about it. Terry then reached out and grabbed Puyol's hand. Puyol obviously in pain withdrew his hand and had a shocked look on his face while Terry's had almost no emotion, he almost seemed sadistic.
That is the sort of person Terry is. I am sad to say it because he can be a great player but as a man he has no scruples, is cold calculating and dirty.
Also shame Ramires is out. He has been a titan over the two legs. I dont know if he can be replaced.
Interesting article.. But, may I suggest including the following?
Question: Who was TMOT..the man of the match?
Answer: Goal frame!
chelsea will be trashed by newcastle.
This is great article, well detailed. We are very excited here in Nigeria with the resilence, courage and strenght of Chelsea fc. Hopefully its time for them to lift the ECL trophy still believing its God that gives success. Bravo!
torres made me shed tears of joy....that goal was extra-ordinary.should i say...magnificent
Great article. Best part of the game was the anguish on Victor Valdes' face as Torres rounded him for the 'killer-goal'. All i can say is thank you God for giving so much strength to Chelsea. I pray You repeat it against Bayern. Amen.
I am a die hard United fan, and couldnt help smiling to watch an english team down barca's boring style. I hate watching barca and their passing game, if I wanted to watch a passing practice I'd go to the pre-match warm up.
But you are wrong about Terry. He isnt just that type of player, he is that type of person. Anybody remember the Wayne Bridge incident? Yeah. He is a scum bag and deserves to miss the final. More so, he doesnt even deserve to call himself captain, for either club nor country.
He has shown time and again that he doesnt have the merits to be a captain. Your boy lampard would be a much better fit, or even cole or cech, who both could make a case for man of the match. Who threw themselves in for everything for the cause of the team...and oh yeah they didnt cheat on their wives with a colleagues girl. Burn in hell Terry.
As for Chelsea, bring it home to England!
A good read from you all. Barca is a very good strong team. But Chelsea has always been a handful for them all through this decade. The Blues are worthy of the accolade. You did not single out Petr Cech though. Now what a pair of safe hands he has been since the rebirth of Chelsea under RDM. The memory of that night at Camp Nou will last me till next year's UCL. Bravo, Chelsea! Thank you Roman Abramovich.
I'm an Arsenal supporter, but I'll readily admit that there was something incredibly touching about Chelsea's victory; I couldn't help smiling when Torres scored. Down to 10 men, with several injuries, written off before the 1st leg, it was a truly astounding performance from the Blues *applause*. Chelsea fans have every right to be truly over the moon; my team's former wantaway captain's unfair remarks are indeed worthy of censure and ridicule.
Like many here, I have been very impressed by RDM's rotation, composure and tactics; and he deserves the permanent job surely; the fact that he has managed to put Chelsea in finals of FA and UCL, while keeping them in the hunt for 4th place (albeit with some woodwork luck) is truly managerial masterclass!
One final word for JT; the guy seriously has no class. I know he's a legend for Chelsea fans, and yes a great player, but also apparently racist, promiscuous, and violent. Does not deserve to be captain of what is a truly great team.
Great read. Surely d entire team and d back room staff deserve praises. It was a grt collective battle well fought and won deservedly. About Terry, he obviously lost his head a fraction there, but really has he ever done that b4 in his career? Has he ever blatantly attacked any player on d field, he made a mistake he apologised we shld forget, forgive and move on. Rooney has done much worst stuff blatantly keeping opponents but was nevaer castigated. Terry has being what none has being for Chelsea. Pls he has his punishment and that Just and appropriate. Chelsea u have really made a season for urselves. Go blues and RDM for manager.
Fantastic read for sure. Loved every piece of it, particularly,"After 90 minutes of nerves being shredded....".....so true!!! I love this team and its passion, all true Chelsea fans and their passion. Let's back our team, let's send them positive vibes, and let's complete what we all hope will be our greatest season ever!!!
I love the win by the Blues and what a goal that was from Torres! Keep RDM permanently.
Ok, Chelsea won. That's all that matters, I know. A year from now nobody will remember the game - people will remember the score. So yes, as a Chelsea fan you can be proud of the RESULT. But how can you be proud of the TEAM?! How can you be proud of the football style they showed?! Sitting with 6 players on it's on 11-meter mark the entire game? Launching the balls to the stands any time a player could put his foot on the ball? Yes, Drogba is a great striker. But he's also the most pathetic actor ever seen on a football pitch. I mean the guy is built like a bulldog, and yet, in every single episode where any degree of physicality is involved, Drogba ends up on writhing "in pain" on the ground. Come on.... Disgusting. Congrats on the result, but there was nothing inspiring, let alone epic about it.
a very good article for a great match. i think almost every chelsea supporter will say that this match was one of the best in chelsea's recent history.... it was poetic , amazing and heartwarming at the same time... i hope we win the final to mark this as one of the best time in CFC's history
A great recollection of a great night and What spirit Chelsea exhibited..I Was at a bar watching the game with Barcelona fans and they were ridiculing me but just picture me on a table shouting TORRESS CHELSEAAA!! over and over again to the top of my lungs...I was in tears not long after filled with emotion. I'm happy for Torres...and all the boys played their heart out. I believe and we're gonna bring it home in the final...
There was nothing about that Chelsea performance that wasn't extraordinary. Just an amazing game to watch. I've watched the replay about 5 times already and I still get goosebumps watching the celebrations after Torres' goal. CHELSEA!
great article. i just want to answer @ barca fan, who singled out Drogba for criticism. while you accuse him of play acting while built as a bulldog, check the build of Sanchez and Sergio,equate it to their theatrics.... then write another comment. accept it dude, you were well and truelly beaten by a BETTER team and a BETTER coach.
"But how can you be proud of the TEAM?! How can you be proud of the football style they showed?! Sitting with 6 players on it's on 11-meter mark the entire game? Launching the balls to the stands any time a player could put his foot on the ball? Yes, Drogba is a great striker. But he's also the most pathetic actor ever seen on a football pitch."
I just want to point out two things:
a.) The fact is that the 'park-the-bus' game plan works exceptionally well against Barcelona, they are unable to deal with a stray long ball (Torres' Goal) and cannot adapt to beat a 10 man team? Not to even mention Messi's miss.
b.) Complaining about Drogba 'acting' is hilarious coming from a Barca supporter. Dani Alves is probably the biggest play actor ever (Pepe red card... zero contact) Further more the way you worded it proves that Barcelona supporters place emphasis on diving and winning penalties. "Pathetic actor" proves that point.
True,it does look like chelsea have the reputation to consider...march on the blues,there is nothing that can stop you know.
Phil. You forgot to give Petr Cech individual credit in both legs of the semi finals for his many crucial saves.I thought the comeback against Napoli was great,outstanding,unbelievable.....but this performance against Barcelona...out of this world!!!!
Well done CHELSEA FC
Thank god for he made it for us, up chelsea we are the no 1 .
Life-long Man.Utd. supporter but I have to say I've never been prouder of a TEAM performance than what I witnessed in this game.
Absolutely fantastic....well done Chelsea FC.
blues al d way.barca has their tititaka,and we hav our parkn bus style.wat matters is dat at de end of d game,parkn bus beat tititaka.but stil i pay tribute 2 messi,d guys talent cant b matched.blues al d way.
After watching the match again and scrutinizing the details I have come to one conclusion. Alexis Sánchez is aflopping pussy and a marginal, at best, football player. Absolutely Terry desreved a red card but Alexis spent almost as much time on the ground writhing in fake agony as he did playing. Check out Mikel's booking in the 31st minute. He barely touches him and Alexis completes a full 360 degree spin and then rolls on the ground for several seconds grabbing his leg in fake agony. The worst part is that the ref bought it. People say Chelsea's defensive stand isn't good football. WHat about blatant flopping? Even on Terry's red card it took him a second to realize he should fall down and pretend to be hurt. What a pussy.
I am United fan,but love lampard,to me he is TMOM..he created both goals at stamford bridge & the Camp Nou to Ramires ..its a crucial goal that make chelsea where it is now...best of luck in the Final...at least Chelsea will put EPL recognition as the best league in the world
I entirely disagree with the view of Miereles and unless this player is moved into the attack, I desperately hope he moves on in the summer. He gave his all for the entire game, but he is too much of a liability in big games and doesn't have enough influence in games where the possesion is more even. He was arguably responsible for the first goal of this match and completely at fault of giving the ball away for the second. All that after giving the ball away several times within the opening 20-30 minutes. Paired with his poor display in the first leg against Napoli and relative anonimity all season, I'd like to see him go. I hold Kalou and Malouda in the same regard, I am amazed Kalou is getting so much playing time. While I thank all of these players for their time at the club, these are the players that must move on in the summer. Drogba, Lampard, Cole, Terry? They still have something to give and I would leave it up to the players and club to decide if they stay. KTBFFH!!
Congratulations, Phil!
I finally got a chance to see your match after I'd landed in Madrid on Wednesday. It gave me hope that we could do the same!
And we did. Very much looking forward to facing your boys in our stadium on the 19th.
Auf gehts, Bayern!
it was an emotional moment wen d exit of barcelona was sealed by d fantastic goal of torress,. What a great dai in d history of cfc. To d barca fans who always seem to moan with endless xcuses abt d reason for their failure.. Chelsea read u like a book as if it was a final exam, and we excelled. We are nt normally like dat on d pitch, bt we had to, under dat circumstance which eventually did pay off. Barca sucks..
read all the comments.arsenal supporter.hope chelsea fall on their faces.bayern all the way.reason:john terry,racist bastard,dirty player all the way.ashley cole,bigger jerk.has no class.left arsenal,wrote book,trash arsenal.all the way bayern.chelsea luck is out.no way in hell are they gonna beat bayern.luck is out.
All d way BLUE!!, we d Nigeria Chelsea fans were dumbfounded by this great performance by our super ten players and d inspiring work of our interim manager RDM who we awaits his call as a manager after d season.
Indeed chelsea players suprised us. And 4 Bacelona 'some days are like that'. WIN IT ALL BLUES!!! YIIIIAAAHH!
life has tot us all that the only constant tin in life is change,i always knew that Barcelona superiority would not last 4 ever,every situation has an end so kudos 2 Chelsea fantastic game from Barcelona but d Chelsea 10 fought like titans and deserved d win,rdm knows his team and worked wit d strength of d team and it yielded d required result he wanted i really don't need a Guadiola,a Mourinho could interest me but apart from the special one i think rdm deserves a go at managing Chelsea he is of d Chelsea blood,and he understands d team he has presently i don't know about d future but i think he has an edge over any other coach maybe except d special one,blue for life,blue in and out
please am begging abramovich to sign guardiola into chelsea,or he will kill chelsea football career,RMD is a good one or he can go for Mourinho,any thing apart from this will amount to chelseas failure.THE BLUES SAYS NO TO GUARDIOLA!!!!!!!!!!!.
It wasn't an easy match for the 2 teams...Sincerely,Barca is a great club,they play good football but something is still missing in the team.They need to cultivate the habit of playing 1-2 in front of the net of their opponent,when they need to fire a serious shot.I think that was what caused them defeat ...I am so much proud of my Team Chelsea, We played a very good football that day and i was so glad about it ....Up Chelsea and i wish all the Chelsea fans success .We own the cup and we are bringing it home ...
i am so glad to see chelsea win.
but for the final i would like to give some opinion.
for RDM, I think chelsea defend can handle bayern's attack anyway, no matter we have 4 players suspend
so for the final, the match winning point is surprise
the surprise to fans and opponent in barc game is R7 play at left wing in 1st and right back on 2nd match,
the key point is within 3 touch to able to shoot in penalty area. (that's what i have said to my friend before the 2 matches)
here for RDM, i would mention again, make surprise for Bayern, surprise can be anyone on any position.
bayern weakness is defending, Drogba, i don't think they can handle. very sure.
bayern can dominate in many matches because their midfield seem strong and comparely strong in their league and champion leauge
chelsea midfield in 3 men, i think the strongest in the world, but let show that we are weaker, let them dominate and finally they will pay for that
i am sure chelsea will win
God's time is d best, this is our time and of course the best time 4 chelsea to finally lift d holy grail to d glory of God Almighty. My message to FCB is this 'Those who neglect history always fall into misery' since 1992 no team have defendend dat title and its still lingering. Viva bluz, viva RDM. Wel done phil. Nice article.
BarcaFan.. Let me remind you one thing, 3 seasons back on Stamford Bridge, Pique played VolleyBall in the penalty area and I bet you wont even remember the incident and there are many more like that(Check the link just for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5x0iM0oQps). You should not blame others when you have the best actor in Sergio Busquets in the game. Please give me a break.. if you dont like parking the Bus, leave ball possession. Do not try to dictate the game rules and regulation.
ok gentleman,is Chelsea's luck gonna run dry soon ? It's about time,how much longer they can ride their luck,,incredible piece of history was written ,incredible team with no talent and no quality,the gods were smiling on these boys in blue since Napoli's game,,just not sure how Napoli let this tie slip away from them,a much better team than Chelsea,,that tie should be over after 45 min in London,napoli wasted handfull of chances and that cost them dearly,now let's talk about Barcelona,a team way superior than Blues,looked like Barcelona did not want to go to final,even Drogba was not flooping all over the field with his big frame and looking through his fingers,but I must admit Barca went out in style,no controversy,no rolling on the field(Busquets and Pedro),,without a doubt this team is still the best in the world,Bayern is going to win the final quite easily,they are extremely happy to play Chelsea not Barca giants,Franky,Schweine and Robben will have the good time in Munich
Great article Phil..... Truly feel ur emotion even after a few days.... All they need is to win it now to make this an unforgettable season.
i was happiest.....how could the ref award a penalty for just touching one's back barca deserved that...forza milan..forza chelsea
i love chelsea, my blood is blue, so i will 4eva b blue.... The battle is still 1/2 way won, my joy will b full whn i watch chelsea lift d trophy @ alienz arena cm may 19th... On Terry's red card, ds man has helped d team in both thick and thin moments, he loves d club which made him not 2 compromise his stand whn m. City came 4 him wt dr mouth watering offer, he is committed 2 d club which he dispalyed in d 1st leg of d semi-final match whn puyol was trying 2 distract him wt his hand dat was surpose 2 b taken 2 d authopedics, he risks his life for d club @ present by playing-on with a broken rib, and he has also apologised 4 his wrong did...... He deserves 2 b forgiven.... And lets hope 4 d best in our finals (FAC and UCL).... Blue 4 a life time..
To those who criticize Chelsea for their defensive methodology against Barca, go fly a kite. Oh, boo hoo, Chelsea don't play the way I want them to play so my club can win. Boo hoo. Wahhhhhhhh! Seriously, these people are ridiculous. Chelsea knew that a stout, defensively-minded approach was their only prayer. Good on RDM and the club for exposing Barca's glaring weakness--they can't win playing anything but a wide open game. Maybe if they bought a few players over 5 feet tall, they could swing in crosses and corners, but no, they have the Xavis and Messis of the world. On that note, with Pep leaving Barca, I'd love to see him bring Messi to Chels'.
All I can say it was a brilliant team spirit and brevity from the chelsea players to battle out in such a scintillating encounter against a formidable well marshaled barcelona side. Truly it was an incredible night full of passion and believe from the ten warriors dressed in white, they stuck to they tactic and it payed off dividends to the fullest credit to the entire chelsea team and all the other supporters wherever you are across the globe. Whoever saying we parked the bus might not be wrong but not many teams have succeeded from that against barcelona who more than ever encounter with many teams who just but a few never arrive with ultra defending mentallity so bravo chelsea......go all the way to lift the trophy and wind up a remarkable year in our champions league history as we embrace the glory in munich against all odds. Credit to RDM for rejuvinating the team spirit and elavating our belief as fans which a while ago under the stewardship of AVB was in turmoil.MOUorRDMperiod
The only worrying thing, is, hopefully the Chelsea team do not fall flat on their faces at the crunch times. They have overcome QPR and Newcastle won't be a big test either. Liverpool in the FA Cup is the first big test and then Liverpool again at Anfield to keep the fight for fourth alive.They would be in a good frame of mind if they overcome these for the biggest test at Bayern. That's no easy task. Imagine playing away against Man United or other top opponents it is not easy to get a win. I hope they practise their penalty kicks.
God made every thing for us.we did not pay kobo,played kobo and scored kobo.lets thank God for He made ll for us
Thanks for all your comments, hugely appreciated as always. Keep them coming!
I agree that more praise could have been written about Cech and RDM in particular but wanted to focus on some unsung heroes like Mikel and Meireles.
To Barca Fan - I totally disagree. Everybody will remember the game as well as the reult in a years time just like they remember Inter Milan's display in 2010.
To Kristos - you may be right about Napoli and Barca but, as Guardiola conceded, the game is about putting the ball in the net and against both teams Chelsea did it more often, no away goals needed.
Now bring on Bayern!

Urine has many nutrients and can be self consumed up to three times safely (recycled) before it becomes dangerous. This is common knowledge in special operations which I was a part of for some years. How this is in relevance to his qualification to be an ATG is beyond me. What a truly ingenious way to display your ignorance and level of maturity. Even as a joke it is a poor one. Go do some research and at least educate yourself then if you still don't agree come up with a better argument than the title of this piss poor thread (no pun intended).
You might not agree with his methods but that doesn't give you a right to criticize him or question his greatness over something overall as insignificant as this.

Beyond Sport, Beyond Expectations
Posted by Eric Frothingham on 09/12/12
A Symbol for Change
When Nick Keller, founder of Beyond Sport, walked out on stage during the 2012 Beyond Sport Summit to deliver his closing remarks, he carried with him an unmistakable (and virtually-indestructible!) blue One World Futbol. At that moment, we knew something incredible was happening. And, it was happening without us having any advance knowledge.
Holding up the One World Futbol, Keller spoke about our ball and about One World Futbol Project's support of multiple organizations at the Summit— winners, finalists, panelists, and attendees. He used the One World Futbol as a visual representation of the opportunity for network members to support each other and further the overall cause of sport for positive social change. The power of this moment remains with me and underscores that we are bringing people together to unite behind a common goal and positively impact the lives of youth around the world.
The Summit
From July 23rd through July 25th (the week before the opening of the Olympics), Tim Jahnigen and I attended the 2012 Beyond Sport Summit in London. Beyond Sport is a global organization that promotes, develops and supports the use of sport to create positive social change across the world. The Beyond Sport Summit is one of the most prominent international gatherings of organizations working in and supporting the field of sport for positive social change. This unique, annual event is specifically designed to celebrate, promote and drive forward sport-led social change. Among the many notable presenters this year were former Prime Minister Tony Blair and legendary boxer, philanthropist and social activist, Muhammed Ali.
Not only was it my first time attending this incredible Summit, but it was the first major international event for One World Futbol Project (OWFP) since the announcement of our partnership with Chevrolet (May 2012). The new partnership with Chevrolet gives OWFP a global platform to support organizations that use sport and play as a key component in their development programs around the world, bringing the joy of play to youth in disadvantaged communities so that children can be children no matter where they live.
One World, One Ball — One World Futbol
A main feature of the Beyond Sport Summit is the Beyond Sport Awards, which provide the winners with varying levels of funding, business and strategic support as well as global recognition. It was tremendously gratifying to learn One World Futbol Project had played and continues to play a significant role with winning and finalist organizations on multiple continents.
GOALS Haiti —Winner: Best New Project Award — has incorporated One World Futbols in their programs for more than a year. Since the 2010 earthquake, GOALS Haiti has used sport to mobilize communities in Haiti, empowering young people and adults to organize themselves to develop projects that improve shelter, leadership and infrastructure.

Grand vistas can take your breath away, the sun on sandy beaches can bake you into lizardlike indolence and craggy peaks can make your imagination soar. But for getting away from the modern world, give me a waterfall.
The gurgle of even the modest falls in this region screens out the cacophony of 20th-century clanks and rumbles. The play of water dancing on the rocks or into the pool below delights the eye.
You don't need to drive to Niagara Falls or even up the Northeast Extension to Pennsylvania's Ricketts Glen State Park (lovely as those falls are).

• In a prospective longitudinal study of children of severely schizophrenic mothers, premorbid behavioral data on individuals diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia spectrum disorder were compared with the same data on individuals diagnosed as not suffering from any mental disorder. Future schizophrenia spectrum individuals were passive babies who exhibited short attention spans. In school, they experienced interpersonal difficulties and displayed disturbing behavior, reflecting poor affective control. From clinical assessments at a mean of 15 years of age, formal cognitive disturbance and defective emotional rapport emerged as premorbid characteristics of schizophrenia spectrum disorder. These results seem to indicate that signs of defective emotional contact and formal thought disorder are important for the psychopathology of schizophrenia. Furthermore, the premorbid similarity of borderline schizophrenia and schizophrenia suggests a basic relationship between these two disorders.
