Hogan should use Anderson as an insider
TNA clearly doesn't know how to use Anderson right now so here's my idea. Next week, Anderson is the first one eliminated in the contenders for the TNA Heavyweight Title. Anderson is mad and tells Hogan that he's a main-eventer and he's tired of being threated like shit.
Later in the night, there's match between Zema Ion and RVD, Aces and Eights interferes and beat both of them. TNA roster comes out, the two groups fight eachother and Anderson finally comes out but helps Aces and Eights.
The week after, Aces and Eights offers Anderson to join the group and Anderson accepts. Anderson will play the "heel" for a few months but what everyone doesn't know is that it's actually a plan between Anderson and Hogan to find out who are under the masks of Aces and Eights.
Re: Hogan should use Anderson as an insider
I prefer Severus Snape
Re: Hogan should use Anderson as an insider
Its not a bad idea Anderson would be one with his overall character and stuff would play the Insider guy role well but in my opinion Anderson just gonna turn heel completely he's really stale as a face and this Asshole stuff
Re: Hogan should use Anderson as an insider
Anderson would be one of TNA's top stars today, if they wouldn't have screwed him up in 2010 by turning him face. He was awesome back then. He should just return to be a full fledged heel. You could take Bully Ray for this role. He has every right to be mad at Hogan.
Re: Hogan should use Anderson as an insider
Why not just fired him in camara?
Just have Anderson take shots at Bully Ray and question his integrity and how he could be in cahoots with Devon. And let TNA slowly reveal Anderson as being jealous of the attention Bully is getting and how he's seemingly been replaced. Have Anderson claim that if he teamed alongside Sting at BFG then he would have won it for TNA. Have Bully resent those statements and have Kaz and Daniels stir the pot by stating the obvious, that the A&8's have turned the TNA roster against each-other and TNA could also link Kurt and AJ's problems to this, though I admit this is just an excuse to see more of Kaz and Daniels it could still work.
That way we can get a Bully v. Anderson match as the secondary main event at Turning Point, before the match Anderson discovers the dead man's hand, Bully and Anderson beat the shit out of each other and the match ends with a A&8 interference Anderson and Bully fight them off Bully turns around and walks into a mic check, Anderson drops the dead man's hand on Bully's chest and there you go. And for TNA to fill the logical gap that states; when and why the fuck did Anderson join A&8's and to explain that Anderson and A&8's can open the next Impact and Anderson can just explain how he talked to Devon after BFG and he can talk about how he saw the light and he's tired of being used and abused by TNA and how even though he got injured representing TNA nobody gave a crap about him and everyone was so pre-occupied with A&8.
I really like the Anderson being used as a spy idea it's a bit reminiscent of Angle in the Invasion storyline but with Anderson TNA could at least make it seem less goofy. Though it's hard to make this storyline seem any less cartoonish.

Re: Hogan should use Anderson as an insider
Or just fire his stupid arse?
Re: Hogan should use Anderson as an insider
Oh yeah! Just what we need, another flip flop Anderson turn, cause it worked really well in the past!
Re: Hogan should use Anderson as an insider
Anderson is really a guy that needs a fresh change, I propose finding him a tag team partner and making him a mainstay in the division until singles opportunities open up because there is really is nothing for him to do at the moment. TNA is squeezing a lot of guys on the shows as is.

This project is designed to explore the opinions and perspectives of parents who have used donor insemination to become parents, with a focus on their families and relationships. Of particular interest to me are parents' experiences with other families that have used the same donor, as well as their feelings and thoughts about contact (e.g., if parents have not made contact with other families). Participants complete confidential telephone interviews (approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour) with either me or a trained graduate research assistant.

Blue Ribbon Organizations are those organizations that go the extra mile to help their community while having a positive environmental impact. Here on MasterGardening Blog we love supporting a good cause therefore, we will occasionally be featuring these remarkable groups of people so they get the attention they deserve. The very first of these is Grow Food Grow Hope, an inspiring project helping provide real food for their community.
Guest Post by: Jessica Braun, Grow Food Grow Hope
Grow Food, Grow Hope is located in Wilmington, Ohio and is an AmeriCorps* VISTA project carried out by nine VISTA volunteers and a number of integral community partners. It is a Wilmington College sponsored project which seeks to raise awareness of the benefits of local food production, backyard and community gardening, and increasing self-sustainability in our daily food habits. Their primary focus areas include community and backyard gardening, food access, nutrition education, farmers markets, youth and community outreach and assisting the local economy through the "Buy Local" campaign.
The catalyst for the formation of Grow Food, Grow Hope was the departure of the area's largest employer in 2008. When the business abruptly took 8,000 jobs from the county with a population of just over 43,000, unemployment skyrocketed. Numerous community members were facing poverty and challenges in providing for their families for the first time in their lives. Faculty and staff at Wilmington College, which has a history steeped in service and agriculture, developed Grow Food, Grow Hope in an attempt to allow all community members greater access to fresh and nutritious foods.
As an organization, they facilitate a community garden on the Wilmington College campus, where families and volunteers tend to 40 plots of kitchen-ready vegetables and herbs. There are also community gardens at local apartment complexes and retirement communities. This year they were able to expand their Backyard Garden Project from 20 to 35 gardens in which families receive garden beds at their own homes and are taught the basics of gardening through visits by staff and volunteers.
Grow Food Grow Hope also maintains a Demonstration Garden at J.W. Denver Williams Memorial Park, edible landscaping garden beds downtown which benefit Sugartree Ministries, and a small garden at the Clinton County Homeless Shelter where tenants tend the beds with weekly visits from the program staff. They work with the Chair of Wilmington College Agricultural Department, Monte Anderson, and Wilmington College Farm Manager, Randy Gerber, who have devoted 44,000 square feet on the Wilmington College farm for bulk vegetable production and distribution to local food pantries. They also partner with the city of Wilmington and the Clinton County Regional Planning Commission in a Buy Local First campaign, and the Clinton County Farmer's Market, as well as local growers and farmers to create the Clinton County Fresh Network.
As an AmeriCorps* VISTA program, Grow Food, Grow Hope's service to Wilmington and the people in their community is the primary concern. Their aim is to engage, empower and interact with local citizens, and invite you to join them in their efforts to reduce the effects of poverty. By growing a little food, we can sow a lot of hope.
You can follow GFGH's progress, donate, or check out our wish list online at www.growfoodgrowhope.com, on Twitter (twitter.com/growfoodandhope) and on Facebook.
For more information call (937) 382-6661 ext. 321, or email email@example.com.

Medical and Graduate Student Opportunities
The UAB Department of Ophthalmology offers research opportunities for UAB medical students and graduate students in both basic and clinical research. Areas of faculty interest include:
More in-depth information is found on research faculty section of our website. There is also an online database that hosts descriptions of research projects open to medical, graduate, and undergraduate students at UAB.
There are two types of research projects for UAB medical students:
This is a course requirement of the School of Medicine and typically occurs during the second or third year of medical school. It is an intensive two month experience during which the student works closely with a faculty member toward publishable research. The grade for the course is dependent upon successful completion and active participation.
Interested students should apply several months prior to their scheduled block – see below for details on how to apply.
These occur during the summer following the first year of medical school and are funded on a competitive basis through the School of Medicine or through grants from extramural organizations such as research foundations.
They are competitive and limited in number so first year medical students considering a summer research project are strongly recommended to make inquiries about summer research by January 1.
For the summer research program through the School of Medicine, students are advised to go to Medical Student Summer Research Program (MSSRP) website or contact MSSRP Director Dr. Robin Lorenz's office at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Some outside foundation which offer student funding for summer research projects are listed below.
UAB students interested in working with a faculty member on a research project should contact that faculty member directly by email and include a statement of interest and a current CV.

He shares a limo with his brother, writes no memos and moves almost unnoticed through a room. Yet, unassuming as he is, Laurence A. Tisch swept up the chips in one of the biggest corporate poker games in history. After a tense, 9½-hour meeting, the CBS board of directors ousted its faltering chairman, Thomas Wyman, and named Tisch acting chief executive officer. Tisch succeeded where corporate raiders from Ted Turner to the right-wing Fairness-in-Media had failed. "He is brilliant," says one Wall Street observer. "He gained effective control of CBS without paying a premium price for it."
Though he is a newcomer to broadcasting, Larry Tisch, 63, is hardly a stranger to power or profits. As chairman of the conglomerate Loews Corp., he commands an estimated $17.5 billion empire built on his canniness as a financial analyst and investor. One of his four sons has described him—admiringly—as a "bottom dweller," one who spots and buys undervalued properties and then hangs on for the long haul.
Born in Brooklyn, the son of a clothing manufacturer who also owned a summer camp in the Pennsylvania Pocono mountains, Larry was a bright young boy who sped through public schools and at age 15 became a freshman at New York University. (He has since lavished more than $10 million on the school to which he once commuted by subway; he is now chairman of NYU's board of trustees.) Graduating cum laude at 19, he went on to earn a master's in industry and management from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. After serving in the Army and as a decipherer of enemy codes for the OSS during World War II, he attended Harvard Law School, but soon dropped out to plunge into the real world of profit-and-loss statements. While still in his 20s, Larry, with his younger brother Preston Robert (called Bob), now 60, sold the family-owned camp and took out a loan to buy a 300-room New Jersey resort hotel called Laurel-in-the-Pines. Larry, the master strategist, and Bob, the day-today detail man, eventually assembled a domain that today includes the 14-hotel Loews chain, the CNA Insurance Companies, Loriilard Tobacco (neither smokes), and the Bulova Watch Company, Inc. Bob has taken on interests outside the family—he was appointed U.S. Postmaster General last month—but the Tisch brothers, says an associate, "are still as close as peanut butter and jelly."
Similarly, the Tisches conduct their family enterprises almost like a mom-and-pop shop. The four sons of Larry and his wife of 38 years, Wilma (called Billie), are all directly or indirectly involved in the family business. Andrew, 36, is a Loews director and president of Bulova; Dan, 35, is a managing director of the Salomon Bros, investment banking firm; it reportedly was his "Hi, Dad" call that alerted his father to the then undervalued CBS stock last year. James, 33, is VP of finance for Loews, and Tom, 31, is a private investor. "Everything you hear about how close Larry is to his family is true," says Washington journalist Elizabeth Drew, a first cousin. "They are all very much in touch and spend a lot of time together. It's a rare thing to see a family that is obviously fond of each other and quite demonstrative about it."
For all their wealth, Drew adds, the Tisches prefer to be "a low-profile family that leads a strikingly unpretentious life. That doesn't mean they're ashamed of their wealth, but there is nothing flashy about it." Indeed, Tisch's office at Loews' Manhattan headquarters is underpopulated with secretaries, and the furnishings are as spare as a motel room. Every Friday he knocks off at 1 p.m. for a longstanding bridge game at a private New York club, and on weekends he regularly plays tennis at his stone, split-level home in Rye, N.Y. He and his sons meet weekly with a Hasidic rabbi to read the Bible and Talmud.
Along with CBS founder William Paley, who gave up retirement at 84 (he turns 85 on Sept. 28) to resume temporarily as chairman, Tisch as acting CEO will seek to reverse CBS' sagging ratings, revenues and reputation. But he has more on his mind than just the bottom line. "What's motivating Larry at this stage of his life is not making money but making a contribution," says Newton Minow, a former FCC chairman, now a CBS board member. "He feels that CBS is a treasure—that's the word he uses—that he wants to preserve."
Early indications suggest that what Tisch means to preserve most is the independence of the network, particularly its troubled news division, which internal critics say has become too showbizzy. "What if we did a story you didn't like?" asked CBS' Mike Wallace point blank at a recent dinner with Tisch. "Would you pick up the phone?" The newly appointed CEO replied without hesitation: "You cover the news. I wouldn't pick up any phone."
Tisch, who owns nearly 25 percent of CBS' stock and is thus its single largest shareholder, insists that his watch at the network will last only until a permanent chief is named. In the meantime, he is not likely to succumb to the seductive glitz that TV engenders in its practitioners. "It's hard to be humble when you have a billion-and-a-half bucks," says Ted Mann, head of the Mann theater chain and a longtime friend. "But, somehow, Larry is."
In a Blink of the CBS Eye, Financial Wizard Larry Tisch Takes Charge of a TV Giant

Sponsor Animal Update: Penny

Penny: 4th Quarter 2007
Our beautiful resident cat, Penny has been just great lately. She's in good health and good spirits, but can be a very finicky feline, as her moods can change on a dime. She enjoys strutting her stuff in front of the other cats in the cat room, and enjoys stealing the attention of all the human visitors. A bit on the temperamental side, Penny also enjoys her quiet time. Some days, she's all about hugs and snugs, while other days, all she really wants is to perch in the window and bask in the sun.

NASA on Monday confirmed the discovery by its Kepler spacecraft of its first planet outside our solar system to exist in the "habitable zone" -- a distance from its star at which liquid water on its surface is possible.
The planet, Kepler-22b, is slightly larger than Earth and orbits a star about 600 light years away. It's 15 percent closer to its star than Earth is to the sun, but Kepler-22b's star is dimmer and smaller than ours. The planet's year is 290 days.
NASA has yet to confirm whether the planet has a rocky surface or is gaseous or liquid, or if it has an atmosphere. Of the more than 1,000 new exo-planets (meaning planets outside our solar system) discovered by the Kepler mission, 54 have been thought to orbit within the habitable (i.e. "Goldilocks", as in "not too hot, not too cold") zone. This is the first confirmation.
A NASA scientist called the discovery "a major milestone on the road to finding Earth's twin." The discovery has been heralded as the dawn of a new age of exo-planetary exploration.
Jumping way ahead, let's say Kepler-22b is indeed Earth's "twin" and is home to intelligent life that has configured itself into something resembling a society. As Chris Wilson recently illustrated in Slate, the chances of being able to make contact with such as society are remote if not, indeed, astronomical.
Since the planet in question is some 600 light years away, the life would need to have evolved roughly 600 years ahead of us in order for us to detect signs of it. Likewise, if they've been pointing a radio telescope in our direction, they would now be looking at Earth circa 1400, when humans did not have the capacity to send signals into space.
Wilson explains:
It's perfectly possible that our fantasy civilization would be 500 years ahead of us—but no more likely than its being 500 years behind us, or 1 billion years behind, or awaiting us 1 billion years in the future. The universe is about 13 billion years old, and Earth's arrival on the scene 4.5 billion years ago did not occur at some divine moment of planet formation. It's possible that this other, Earth-like planet was at one point dotted with thriving alien cities, that it sustained an intelligent species for millions of years, but that life there winked out at around the same time we humans were working out the kinks in having opposable thumbs. If so, our neighbor's dying signals would have passed us by millennia before we could invent the radio dishes to capture them.
Perspective is a bummer, huh? Keep on watching the skis. I mean skies.

Evaluation Forms
The official Faculty Performance and Development Evaluation Form is used to identify specific indicators of achievement, to pin-point areas of greatest/least effectiveness, to stimulate improved performance, to develop mutually understood goals, and to provide career development guidance. The performance evaluation occurs annually. Faculty members and supervisors should complete the Faculty Performance and Development Form online, print the completed form and save it for their records.
Faculty Performance and Development Evaluations are conducted in annual face-to-face meetings of the department chair and the faculty member.
See this related download for the Faculty Performance and Development Evaluation Form.
Beginning of the Process
The department chair e-mails the faculty member being evaluated, directs him/her to the evaluation form on the website, and schedules an appointment for the face-to-face meeting. Prior to the face-to-face meeting, the faculty member reviews the Professor or Adjunct Professor Job Description (found in the online Faculty Handbook) and performs a self appraisal using the Performance and Development Evaluation form. The department chair completes the Evaluation assessment.
During the face-to-face meeting with the faculty member
The department chair and the faculty member will cooperatively review and discuss the Evaluation instrument ratings (Department Chair Evaluation assessment and Faculty self appraisal), Job Description, and prior year Goals and Objectives. They will establish and document Goals and Objectives for the upcoming evaluation period. (Criteria for Goals and Objectives will be based on individual faculty goals that correlate to College objectives.)
Completion of the Process
The department chair and the faculty member sign the Goals and Objectives page and forward the entire document to the appropriate Dean's office. It is the sole responsibility of each School Dean to acquire all official evaluation documents, forward copies to Human Resources for retention in the employee's official personnel file, and make employment recommendations.

The Williamsport Music Club will hold its monthly meeting at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 22 at Robert M. Sides Family Music Center, 201 Mulberry St.
Barbara Smith, program chair for the year, has offered a challenge with the theme "A Musical Buffet." Shirley Knade, program chair for October, has called the program "Spicy Treats."
The song of the month, "O God, Beneath Thy Guiding Hand" with words by Leonard Bacon set to the tune of "Duke Street," music by John Hatton, will be presented by Lucy Henry and accompanied by Barbara Hall.
Article Photos
The Williamsport Music Club will host female group 'Nothing But Treble,' pictured, at the October meeting.
The first "spicy treat" is "Scarborough Fair," an English folk song arranged by Christopher Ruck, sung by soprano Barbara Smith and accompanied by Shirley Knade.
The mood will change to a classic, "Toccata" from "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" by J.S. Bach, played by organist Richard Lakey. The club also will host a performance from female group "Nothing But Treble," comprised of Sharon Ippolito, Marisa Hickey, Tess Gist, Denise Connor and Jacquie Engel.
They will add "spicy treats" to the program with the following musical selections: "When Will I Be Loved?," "Walking On Sunshine," "Stand By Me," "Killing Me Softly With His Song," "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman" and "Dancing Queen."
Another "spicy" musical mix comes from P.D.Q. Bach, a composer named Peter Shickele whose alter ego is a fictitious member of the Bach family.
The male singing group Gesang Verein Harmonia Mennerchor will perform works including "Art of the Ground Round," "Please, Kind Sir," "Jane, My Jane" and "Nellie is a Nice Girl."
The group includes Len Cagle, Alan Cohick, David Craig, David Doerr, Donald Fisher, Fred Fisher, Mark Fisher, Bob Frederickson, Tim Kohler, Oscar Knade, Robert Lacerra, Joe Laver, Frank Magaro, Francis Powers, Ron Sellinger, Martin Snella, Robert Stopper, William Tomke and Jamie Wither. Micahel Connor is director of the group and Jeff Johnson is the accompanist.
"Nothing But Treble" will then return, singing "Fields of Gold," "I Hope You Dance," "Always Be My Baby," "Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel)," "Sweet Dreams" and "Turn the Beat Around."
Hostesses for the evening will be Lee and Carol Waltz. The program is free and open to the public. The Williamsport Music Club is a federated member of the state and national music clubs.

Q. I received the following email from email@example.com with an attachment named Update-KB5546-x86.exe:
Mail server report.
Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being sent from your computer. Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus type (Network Worms). Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer unnoticeably. After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail addresses. Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer restoring.
Best regards,
Customers support service
I have AT&T Yahoo DSL and run Windows XP Professional. Is this a legitimate deal? I checked on Snopes.com and couldn't find anything.
A. One of the most important rules of thumb when it comes to e-mail is to never, ever open an attachment unless you are absolutely certain that it is legitimate. And even if you are sure you probably shouldn't open it until you are double-plus, ultra sure.
In this case the attachment is an executable file, a program that the sender wants you to install on your computer. Even if it was legitimate, I would not install it. It's just too risky.
As it turns out, this is not even remotely legitimate. What you are seeing is a spam e-mail generated by a variant of the Warezov worm. The good news is that you are likely not infected. The bad news is that someone on the Internet with your e-mail address is.
This type of virus/worm infects a computer and then mails itself to everyone in the infected computer's address book. It generates an e-mail that tries to appear legitimate and trick you into installing the virus/worm. They even went so far as to name the file the same as a Microsoft update install file.
The first thing that usually tips me off to a hoax like this is the bad grammar. This one is not as bad as some I have seen but the line "Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer restoring" is a dead give-away.
The next time you see something like this, don't limit yourself to Snopes. Go to Google and type in a line from the e-mail. I did this and found many Web sites that referenced the virus.
While we're talking about viruses and security, let me take this opportunity to encourage my readers to verify that your antivirus program is up to date and make sure you have all patches installed for your operating system.

Come to TREC for treats, fun
Come on, already!
Halloween is so close, but we're willing to bet quite a few kids out there would jump at the chance to load up on candy before the hordes of trick-or-treaters take to the streets on Oct. 31.
No problem. Bring the family to the annual TREC or Treat event this Saturday at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center for treats, activities and more.
Seriously. No tricks.
Dress in your best, most ghoulish costume and enter the Nature Shop's costume contest. Then stay for a showing of "Super Buddies" at noon and 2 p.m. on the Big Green Screen.
And let's not forget about the furry kids.
Bring your canines to the free Doggie Trick-or-Treat event on Sunday, 1 to 3 p.m., starting at the Stull Interpretive Center, Presque Isle State Park. Pups of all ages can take a naturalist-led hike, gather treats, participate in a costume contest and enjoy various activities.
All dogs must be leashed.

Why I love India
"The moment I start to think I'm right on the precipice of unravelling one of India's deep mysteries, she has an uncanny way of reminding me that it would take more than just a few lifetimes to do so. Indeed, demystifying India is a perpetual work in progress. And that is precisely what makes the country so deeply addictive for me. The constant exploration. The playful unpredictability. And knowing that, just when..." Read More

- Subjects:Classroom Management, Back-to-School Experiences, Travel and Vacations, Back to School, Autumn Themes
Going Places with a Journey-Themed Classroom
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2, 3–5
When I decided to give my classroom a "Journey" theme last year, it didn't take me long to realize how rich and adaptable it would be. I began developing my theme a few months before school started and had time to ask friends for help in gathering some of what I needed while they were doing their summer traveling. They brought me maps and travel brochures and several beautiful, old suitcases that were being discarded.
Journey Décor
- Old Suitcases — Use these in place of small tables. I find they also make great for extra storage, too!
- Globes — You will want a large and current globe for geographical studies, but also look for small, individual globes to place around the room.
- Maps and Travel Brochures — Laminate these and they will last for several years.
- Map Carpets — I have one large, colorful map of the United States, and a smaller one from a toy store that is meant to be used with toy cars.
- Luggage Tags — I place these tags on lanyards for hall and restroom passes.
- Directional Tools — Use compasses, direction signs, and other travel motif items throughout the classroom.
- Student List — Outside the door, above a little bench where another suitcase sits, my students names are listed on a poster titled "Passenger List."
- Bulletin Boards — These are reserved for maps and displays about places and travels.
Learning Through the Journey Theme
- Journey Bear — This is a stuffed bear that has traveled thousands of miles with me. I use him to engage my students in learning to read maps and also in counting lessons.
- Postcards — Each month my students write a short entry in a notebook about their trip through 2nd grade. At the end of the year, we turn these notebooks into a travel book.
- Concierge — Each day, one student assumes the role of our daily classroom helper, or concierge. This student is responsible for all jobs during that day and for keeping our travel log
- Packing Our Skills for the Year — At the first of the year, we use this unit to jump start our skills for the year.
- Music with a travel or location theme — I brought New York State of Mind, a book by Billy Joel that includes a CD of the song by the same name he wrote and recorded. My students love to practice their handwriting with this song in the background and they now have a copy of the lyrics in their notebooks so they can follow along. Look for a future post on using different genres of music in the classroom.
- Souvenirs — I use a representative object from each unit that I display in the classroom as a reminder of where we have been during the year.
Incorporating Journey Vocabulary Every Day
After reviewing the dictionary definitions of various travel-related words, we then use them as part of our classroom nomenclature. Below is a sampling of how we incorporate them.
- Expedition — field trip
- Itinerary — schedule
- Routes — paths we take to get around the building
- Check-in — morning
- Take-off — go home
- Excursion — reward time
- Travel Guide — textbook
- Plotting our Course — goal setting
- Bon Voyage — farewell to moving student
- Time Travel — studying and reading about historical events
Additinally, there are many travel words on my list that I intersperse in conversations and lessons as I teach.
It should be evident by now why I enjoy this theme so much. This is my second year of using it and I find new ways to incorporate it in my classroom every week.
Do you have a theme that motivates you and your students? Please comment and share your favorite classroom theme with us.

Also calling lost and found "Baggage Claim" :)
Hi Jane!
That is a great idea! Do you mind if I borrow it? I keep a running list on a page on my blog. Here is the url. http://ponderingpedagogy.blogspot.com/p/a-place-for-me-to-work-on-my-journey.html Have a wonderful year. I will continue to update my list through the year.
What a fantastic idea! I have also been thinking about how to incorporate a travel theme in my classroom. I've been creating a way to include passports and have students get a stamp once they master a certain skill/unit.
Please post more ways that you have used this theme throughout the year! I'm looking forward to reading more entries!
Have a great year.
Very useful information.
I have been preparing for a TRAVEl theme but JOURNEY seems to be a better one!
I have most of the materials and then some.
great! love this!! im using this for my classroom in china for "travel the world with English"
thank you so much
Love it!!!

Financial Aid
Federal Direct PLUS Loan: How to Apply
To apply for a Federal Direct PLUS Loan, you will need to log in to the U.S. Department of Education's Direct Lending website to:
- Apply for a PLUS Loan. A credit check will occur, and will be valid for 180 days) and
- Complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN). You must use your full legal first and last name when completing the MPN (no initials), or the Department of Education will be unable to link it to the loan record sent by the school.
You will need to sign in using your SSN, date of birth, and federally assigned PIN, which is the same number used to electronically sign the FAFSA.
- Your student must file a FAFSA before we can originate your PLUS Loan.
- The maximum PLUS Loan amount is the student's Cost of Attendance minus any other financial aid she/he is eligible to receive. If you apply for an amount exceeding this maximum, we will reduce your loan at the time of origination.
- Federal PLUS Loan funds will be evenly divided over the student's academic year, unless the loan period given on your application indicates differently.
- The PLUS Loan origination fee is 4.272% for loans first disbursed on or after October 1, 2015. Since this fee is deducted before loan funds are disbursed, the net amount released will be less than the actual gross loan amount borrowed.
- The interest rate is 6.84% for loans first disbursed between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016.
Apply for a Direct PLUS Loan now.
NOTE: Avoid disbursement delays! Make sure your child has added your name to his/her record with the Lewis & Clark Registrar's Office. This facilitates the disbursement of funds to the student account.

Automatic VS Manual Transmissions: Friends Or Enemies?
Starting in the 1950′s, automatic transmissions have been popular in the U.S.. In fact, they account for 84% of cars sold in North America. The same is not true for the rest of the world. Why is the U.S. so fond of the automatic? Some chalk it up to straight roads and a lot of stop and go traffic. So why would you go manual? Here's a list of each transmission features, both good and bad.
Go Manual
- Sometimes it pays to have more control over gears. To give you more control in tough climate conditions or when negotiating a steep curve.
- Cost, cost, cost. The mileage on your automatic transmission car will drop 10% compared to manual transmissions. Automatics are known to consume more fuel. Also, they'll probably be more expensive in the first place- $700 or so on average.
- If your automatic breaks down, you'll need jumper cables to restart the engine. Otherwise have those towing company numbers handy.
Go Automatic
First off, if you're a mechanic at heart, check out Wikipedia to learn how automatic transmissions work.
- Generally this kind of transmission is easier to operate. There are only two pedals, so it's almost like driving a go-cart. In a traffic jam, this is a big plus.
- You'll have your left foot free and both hands on the wheel.
- With new options like Manumatic transmissions, automatics may finally be gaining on manuals, combining ease of use with power.
Choosing a transmission is not as simple as "which transmission is better?". You should take into account the make of the car and your situation. For example, if you're buying an Audi mainly for performance reasons, you'll probably want to stick to a manual and use that power. But if you're a city commuter who doesn't want to shift those gears on the drive home, go with an automatic. If you'll be going to the mountains a lot, dealing with mud and rain, then a manual transmission is likely to hold up wonderfully. You get the idea…

BELLWOOD - More than 100 years ago, two sisters in Bellwood formed a club for women in their area. When the women gathered, they didn't talk about the latest fashions or popular hairstyles.
Misses Mary and Elizabeth Bell, who started the Kosmos Club in 1900, didn't want everyday chitchat for their group.
Meeting monthly at each other's houses, the women went deeper, exchanging intellectual ideas, talking about current events and the books they had read. They would end their get-togethers with desserts and coffee.
Article Photos
(Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec) Looking over past programs from earlier meetings of the Kosmos Club are (from left) Helen Geist, Peggy Martin, Jean Williamson and Sarah Helen McCloskey. The women recently met at the Lily Pad Dining Room at the Presbyterian Village at Hollidaysburg. The club was formed almost 120 years ago as a way for women to pursue intellectual interests and learn about their world.
Almost 120 years later, the club is still active, and although members said their focus has changed a little, they still seek out educational pursuits as part of their meetings.
The group now often travels to area historical or cultural sites, including the Johnstown Flood National Memorial, the Mishler Theatre, the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art in Loretto and Fort Roberdeau, to name a few.
Four members of the club are direct descendants of original charter members.
Sarah McCloskey of Bellwood is a descendant of the Bell sisters. She said the sisters took great care in choosing the name "Kosmos'' for the club.
"They were very specific about it, and they met to discuss it,'' McCloskey said. "It's a Greek word meaning 'of the world,' and that's what they wanted to know about, knowledge of the world.''
In the early days of the club, the proctoral was more formal. The sisters personally invited women in northern Blair County to join their club, and they drafted a charter and bylaws.
Jean Williamson of Antis Township, another descendant, recalled when members would come to meetings dressed in hats and white gloves. McCloskey remembered women draped in fur wraps and mink stoles.
According to a program from a club meeting in 1989, the Kosmos Club members are interested in things "relating to the universe and all nature.'' The program, which had a review of meetings for the year, listed various topics.
In August of that year, one member was asked to "recall a headline as a teenager and expand on it,'' and at the September meeting members listened as "a tragedy, and funny article (were) reported.''
Because they met in homes, the group limited itself to 22 members according to the club's charter, McCloskey said. Today, there is only half that number, but they continue their monthly meetings and make donations to each site they visit and to local charitable causes.
Anna Mae Huff of Tyrone said she thinks one reason the club has lasted so long is that the members come from a variety of backgrounds, making the group more diverse.
"We're not all alike,'' she said. "It's not like we're all farmers or we're all teachers. We're all different, so when we come together, it makes it more interesting.''
Betty Jacobus of Logan Spring Farm in Antis Township, who is another descendant of a charter member, said she thinks the original club members wanted to expand their knowledge and especially enjoyed reading. But things began to change in later years.
"After the second World War, people got busy, and there was more focus on telling interesting things that happened in life,'' she said. "Now I think we come together more because we like to see each other.''
They get a chance to chat because after they tour a site, they usually adjourn to a restaurant for lunch. But occasionally they still meet in private homes, such as when a few times a year, they have lunch at Jacobus' or McCloskey's house.
Last month, they had lunch at the Presbyterian Village at Hollidaysburg, where one of their members, Peggy Martin, lives. She is another descendant of a charter member.
As they ate, they looked over old programs and talked about the different sites that they had toured, some of them awe-inspiring such as the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona and some of them not as structurally impressive but just as interesting in their own way, like local fire and police stations.
"We have interests in what's around us,'' McCloskey said.
The group also has invited speakers to its meetings, such as Blair County President Judge Jolene G. Kopriva, District Justice Fred Miller of Tyrone, and former Blair County Commissioner Donna Gority among them.
Other club members include Judy Swayne of Antis Township, Helen Geist of Bellwood, Irene Turnbaugh of Fallentimber, Joyce Knowles of Antis Township, Joann Hample of Bellwood and Carole Holes of Bellwood.

Rural History and "reenactment history": Challenges, questions, opportunities
Panel organizer: Laura Sayre, research fellow, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (UMR 1041, INRA-SAD-AgroSup Dijon)
This panel will bring together historians and others interested in "agricultural history reenactment"—defined here as projects and situations in which various aspects of agricultural heritage are explored, invoked or put to use for specific contemporary ends. Living history farms and other kinds of agricultural museums; "protected geographical indications" attached to specific foods and modes of production (Gruyčre cheese, Welsh beef); antique tractor clubs and other enthusiasts' groups, competitions and festivals; the preservation of traditional crop varieties and livestock breeds with an eye to future agricultural resilience; the reconstruction of traditional agricultural landscape systems within international rural development efforts; reality television series focused on traditional foods and farming practices—all these and more testify to the enduring appeal of at least certain elements of agricultural history for both popular and scholarly constituencies. Critical analysis of these phenomena, however, is spread across a variety of academic fields (public history, rural sociology, anthropology, archaeology, media studies), while the idea of "reenactment history" remains marginal within the academy, seemingly tainted by its association with popular entertainment. This panel proposes to rehabilitate a notion of agricultural history reenactment as a unifying framework for considering a wide variety of contemporary (or indeed historical) efforts to come to terms with, reinterpret or otherwise make use of the rural and agricultural past as a means of contending with the present (and future) of food and farming. As such, it will engage directly with the conference's aim to discuss the future of rural history in an increasingly urbanized world: agricultural history reenactment appears to gain in popularity as the number of people directly engaged in agriculture falls, an inverse correlation that raises the stakes for historical integrity within reenactment projects. The panel will be open to scholars from a range of disciplines, studying instances of agricultural history reenactment in Europe or elsewhere. Questions to be addressed include: Why is agricultural history reenactment at once so popular and yet so curiously overlooked? What are its strengths and limitations as a means of constructing, contesting and conveying historical information? What role does agricultural history reenactment play in the maintenance of national and regional identities rooted in rural images, activities and landscapes?
Paper proposals for the session are requested by 15 February and should be sent to email@example.com
Note: this session is organized in association with an edited volume on agricultural reenactment history; individuals who are interested in possibly contributing to the book as well are especially welcome.

... Linus Omark and his one impressive NHL shootout goal, which wasn't all that impressive. The first one wasn't in the NHL, and the second was NOT a notable goal. Those who think that it was great are apparently spellbound by spin-o-ramas even when they have no bearing on a play. Omark could have done that move on his way to the shootout dot and it would have had as much impact on the play, namely none.

You're being very arbitrary. Babcock used Samuelsson in the shootout a total of three times in the latter's four seasons in Detroit.

love this site; love your comics. just a kind of grammar nazi comment. the line that says 'The code is 'cool' isn't it?' really would be more proper without the question mark, but a period instead, and maybe a comma to emphasize? :)
'The code is 'cool', isn't it.'
Accept that would be wrong.
I have to think that if he'd done that, someone else would have requested that he put the question mark back in for the same reason.
Language is for communication. Did you understand what he was trying to say? If you did, shut up.
Well said, Fred.
The comic is representing people talking. People who talk often use bad grammar. So it's realistic!
Anyone else find it ironic that "Jim & Joey" used "accept" when they meant "except?" I sure do.
People often use 'accept' when they should of used 'except'. I'd like to correct them all, but its not practical so I just grit my teeth and try not to loose my temper.
When people write "should of" instead of "should have", I get a little tense.
Period vs. question mark:
It depends on the way the sentence is presented. If Scott is asking if the code is "cool", then the question mark is appropriate. If Scott is stating that the code is "cool", then the period is appropriate.
So then the manner in which the sentence is presented is based on Scott's tone - I'd like to imagine he is asking the question dejectedly, realizing that he knows the answer, but still must ask to verify if his boss is, indeed, that stupid.
On the other hand, had a period been used, Scott would have been directly stating that the code is "cool", possibly in a mildly aggravated manner (like a parent towards a child who has misbehaved), preempting the need for confirmation, showing to the audience that he knows his boss is, indeed, that stupid.
Disregarding all the above stated, a comma is necessary between "cool" and "isn't":
"The code is 'cool', isn't it?"
The grammatical errors in this comic are acceptable. The grammatical errors in the comments it generated are exceptional.
Hi, Scott! I've been reading your comic for quite some time now and I love it! I'm sorry so many of your comments are related to grammar. You do tend to make a lot of errors but you're also hilarious. You'd think that would buy you some leeway.
Hilarious. I'm enjoying these so much...
I find it ironic that in ptbptb's comment about correcting everyone who uses "accept" when they mean "except" wrote "loose my temper" instead of "lose my temper"...
Grammartron was correct in saying there should have been a comma, but was incorrect in the placement of that comma. Punctuation always goes inside the quotation marks, so it should be "The code is 'cool,' isn't it?"
HeebieJeebie, I'm pretty sure ptbptb was just trolling with his "accept" statement. Trolling is a art.
i see what you did there meep.
Has anybody else. considered that Jim & Joey actually meant he/she/they/it wanted Runey to accept the fact that it's wrong, and didn't make a mistake? 'Cause I have.
All these people get angry over grammatical errors. They must spend their lives furiously restraining their hilariously out of control tempers for the good of society (and their not being in jail-ness).
For the sake of the greater good, I invite you to brutally criticize my grammar now.
I find this exceptionally hilarious to read. And I don't mean the comic. Although that was hilarious, too.
I think it would be a safe assumption that whenever he uses the word "nobody" he means you, regardless of context.
"....really would be more proper without the question mark, but a period instead"
No. The only thing worse than a "grammar nazi" is a wrong grammar nazi. "Isn't it?" is a question, and it doesn't matter if the sentence starts out as a statement.
love this site; love your comics. just a kind of grammar nazi comment. the line that says 'The code is 'cool' isn't it?' really would be more proper without the question mark, but a period instead, and maybe a comma to emphasize? :)
'The code is 'cool', isn't it.'
Wow. I love how you had the gall to criticize a perceived grammatical error in the comic, while failing to use proper capitalization and sentence structure. He is asking a question (hence the question mark) to verify what he believes is correct, not stating a fact that he knows for sure (which would call for a period). Also,"isn't it" is ALWAYS a question, it's never a statement of fact. The grammar is fine and in the future if you're going to attempt to criticize one's grammar, perhaps you should first make sure that your own grammar is at least beyond the elementary school level.
I'm not an english speaker, but i think the question mark is requested in this case because it, in fact, is a question!
he is questioning his boss "the code is "cool", right?"
damn! i'm so good!
Actually, punctuation is not "always" inside of the quotation marks.
For instance, a question mark or exclamation point will go inside or outside of the quotation depending upon whether the quote was a question or if the entire sentence was a question.
If I said, "You asked if you could have a dog," you would end that with a period, because it is a statement; however, if you said the following: You asked, "Can I have a dog?" The question mark will go inside the quotation because the whole sentence is a statement, but the quote (which ends the sentence) is a question.
Now, here's where we break conventional wisdom: You could write the sentence this way: Did you say, "I love you"?
Since the sentence as a whole is a question, and the quote is a statement, you put the question mark on the outside of the quotation. Question marks and exclamation points take priority; moreover, semicolons always go outside of the quotation.
"You learn something new every day"; I don't know who said that.
Oh, I just couldn't resist.
All questions, even rhetorical ones (the spoken tone of which more resemble a statement than an interrogative), get a question mark. Scott was right.
As for the protocol for placement of a question mark or period inside quotes vs. outside, the question is not a grammatical one, but a cultural one. Atari may be revealing his or her background by stating the rule as above...the whole story is that the British and Canadian English protocol places the punctuation mark outside of the quotes except for those that are in fact directly related to the content being quoted, and American English always places it inside quotes, with the sole exception of instances when quoted content immediately precedes a colon or semicolon (those go outside the quote marks, as Atari indicated). Consequently,
Did you see the series finale of "Lost?" I thought it was a stellar example of quality writing and artistry.
would be correct in American English, but not Canadian or British English. An appropriate response might be
You're an idiot, aren't you?
The above statement could be construed as rhetorical based on the delivery and the fact that the series finale was not really either of those things.
The subsequent posts this cartoon prompted are so entertaining it makes me wonder if it is not Scott just continuing the joke in the posts and not actual, different people. The fact that posts alone can continue two years or so after the comic is indicative in and of itself of how damn funny this was.
>Did you see the series finale of "Lost?" I thought it was a stellar example of quality writing and artistry.<
So, the show is called "Lost?"? Strange, never spotted that before...
Also, you're an idiot for using the grammatical structure of an Idiot people. Just kidding America. Y'all speak good an' things.
works for me if I read something (I can retain 98% of a book but only 40% wen someone tells me
Every question should get a question mark, right?
If your statement includes a quote which is a question, then the question mark should go inside the quotes.
John just said "Do you want to have lunch?"
If your question includes a quoted statement, then the question mark should go outside the quotes.
Did you hear John say "I'm having lunch"?
But what if your question includes a quote which is a question? Do you punctuate the quoted question? Or the question you are asking? The only logical answer is to do both.
Did you hear John say "Do you want to have lunch?"?
Is asking "Does that help?" sound too condescending?
You're welcome.
All you grammar Nazi's did it wrong. Punctuation goes INSIDE the quotation marks when adjacent to them.
The following is wrong: "The code is 'cool', isn't it?"
The following is right: "The code is 'cool,' isn't it?"
Commas, periods, question marks, and exclamation marks go INSIDE quotation marks when they are adjacent. I found it incredibly hilarious, and sad, that you all had an argument about two different wrong ways to write that sentence. Only Scott got it right.
Scott, reading these from the beginning, and it's all great. The puns, the verbal banter, the turns of phrase, they are heaven.
Bravo Loias, for your exceptional skill in being a grammar nazi, and for that, I award you with, this comment. If we were to write it in the way that you said to be "right", then the code would be 'cool,', not 'cool', which is what the character is trying to confirm. Also, in programming speak, those two would be a completely different code altogether (five characters and four characters, mind you). The placement of punctuations have already been explained well enough by Rocky Stone, something that you seem to have completely ignored.
You wrote, "Did you see the series finale of "Lost?" I thought it was a stellar example of quality writing and artistry.
would be correct in American English, but not Canadian or British English."
I am American and learned English from an American (I presume) textbook, and according to that book, your statement is incorrect.
Since "lost" is not a question, but the sentence itself is a question, the question mark would be outside the quotation to indicate the overall sentence was a question, rather than the quote.
Question-marks supersede periods in priority; therefore, you would write, "Did you see "Lost"? I thought it was. . . ."
I admit that I am just shy of infuriated that the credit for this is being given to Rocky Stone, despite the fact that I CLEARLY explained the exact same thing before he did.
Hey, Pedant! How about giving me some accolades?
Oh, and after ALL of this, I am certain that every individual who has read these posts would fight tooth and claw against the notion of using "he" when referring to an unspecified gender, but I joke not when I transcribe that using the plural "they" instead causes my teeth to involuntarily gnash.
@Atarii (an extra "i"?)
Why, yes, you have explained it, though, my brain must not have processed it as something that strikes me as both informative and entertaining, only mostly informative. Still, not giving credit where it is due certainly is a mistake on my part, and I do hope you can forgive me for that.
On a side note, archive binge?
1) I don't know what "archive binge" is. I'm thinking it's when you spend a few hours reading all of the comics in the archive.
If you are wondering, I am subscribed to this post, so I get an email any time someone writes a response.
2) Atari can refer to the band the Ataris; it can refer to the video game system, the video game company or the Japanese word which means something like, "to hit the target," according to my minimal research.
To differentiate myself I added an extra i. Man, I hope that HTML worked.
Also, I want it to just be a name, like Joe, as apposed to being a reference to something else.
3) In the body of your message you are right on all accounts.
I am emotionally wounded.
Punctuation does not always go inside the quotation marks.
"the code is 'cool', isn't it?" would be correct, as the comma is always used to signify the ned of a clause, which would be after the quotes.

He's utterly shameless. And it's so, so, soooo fun to watch this gasbag suffer a total meltdown.
"You want to be a country that creates food stamps, in which case frankly Obama's is an enormous success," Gingrich said in the recorded excerpt. "The most successful food stamp president in American history. Or do you want to be a country that creates paychecks?"
After David Gregory asked him if the statement was racist…
Gingrich replied, "That's, that's bizarre. That — this kind of automatic reference to racism, this is the president of the United States. The president of the United States has to be held accountable. Now, the idea that — and what I said is factually true. Forty-seven million Americans are on food stamps. One out of every six Americans is on food stamps."
And when, exactly, did all of that get started? Not during this president's term. As PolitiFact points out, t's the economic theories of supply-side fiscal conservatives (regardless of party) that's killing the middle class. The current president has done nothing but to mitigate the damage from 30 years of Reaganomics.
Oh, and yes. It was entirely intended to be a Southern Strategy dog whistle. Not a shocker from someone who made a bundle selling a book fantasizing about the Confederates winning the Civil War. (Yes, I intend to repeat that fact until Newt goes away.)

Breastfeeding in PublicMadelinePetersen
I am sure public breastfeeding has been talked about a ton on baby's first year, but I've just started doing it and I really want to reflect on my specific experience.
While I am on maternity leave, my husband and I are doing the farmers market circuit selling Alaskan salmon (my husband's family business). Doing this has been such an adventure and even more than that a family affair. Both Steve and I are working hard on the project and Tate is always with us. I love that we are able to spend so much time together as a family while trying to make a living. However, it does brings up interesting challenges, for example, I have to entertain, diaper, and feed Tate while trying to work. I get to do all this in a 10×10 outdoor booth, generally with an audience.
I honestly don't mind doing it. I have a nifty nursing cover that my mom made for me, and I have gotten the hang of getting Tate to latch in a jiff. The trouble is that unless I position myself in the back of the tent, making the fact that I am feeding Tate inconspicuous, I scare business away.
Men especially seem to walk by and when they notice I am nursing my son they immediately pretend that the tree next to the booth has suddenly become the most interesting tree on the planet.
It's such an interesting paradox. We are continuously reminded that breast feeding has the best health benefits for our children, but no one wants us to do it anywhere near them. I hate the thought of being tied to my house or a retail store changing room because other people are uncomfortable with the thought of me nursing (I am using a nursing cover after all). It's not that I have had anyone vocally share their disapproval, but the looks I get sometimes are just as obvious as a verbal beating.
Maybe it's that I'm in a conservative state (Utah), or maybe it's that I'm more sensitive to it as a new mother, but it seems unfortunate to me that breastfeeding in public is pretty much taboo.
Tell me if you have felt the judgement of others breastfeeding in public or how you feel about the whole issue honestly….I'm interested.

WARREN - On a picture-perfect Saturday afternoon, a group of those whose lives were jarred by the suicide of a loved one gathered in Courthouse Square for the third annual Suicide Walk.
The walk is a chance for the families and others who have been touched by suicide to come together to tell their stories and to help raise awareness for those lost and how to work through it. It also is a chance to educate people on how to identify signs before it is too late.
The walk was organized by Cathy Grizinski and Mary Kopiak, both of whom suffered through the loss of a loved one.

Suicide Walk organizer Mary Kopiak wears a T-shirt depicting her daughter, Valerie, who took her own life in 1998.
''May is Mental Health Month and we pick the third weekend to represent the individuals who can't walk for themselves,'' said Grizinski, associate director of the Help Hotline Crisis Center.
The walk is set up along Courthouse Square in downtown Warren with four stations along the way. The four stations represent the four ''tasks'' of grief: telling the story; expressing the emotions; making meaning of loss; and transitioning into a new relationship with the memory.
''We want people to recognize the grief the families carry with them, so people don't feel alone,'' Grizinski said.

According to Grizinski, 30 people from Trumbull County, 42 from Mahoning County and 21 from Columbiana County committed suicide in 2009.
About 10 people showed up for the Suicide Walk. Organizers were happy that those who showed up did so, but remain disappointed in the small number. Unlike rallies held for other causes such as cancer, they believe that the ''stigma'' of suicide makes it harder for victims to stand up and talk about.
''I think it's the portrayal of people who commit suicide as weak... but they weren't. They were good people,'' Grizinski said.
Many of those left behind after suicide feel guilty and afraid that they are to blame.
''Guilt is extreme, she said. ''the feeling that we're responsible. We want people not to be fearful, not to feel guilty.''
So she and Kopiak, who lost her daughter Valerie in 1998, set up the walk in order to keep the memories of their loved ones alive and to raise awareness of how to get through such a tragedy and how to recognize the signs.
''In my eyes they deserve as much recognition,'' said Kopiak, who holds a candlelight vigil each November for Valerie and other victims of suicide. ''As long as I'm alive, Valerie will live on.''
Added Grizinski, ''I think we're trying to normalize it, shed some light on depression - to show that there's a lot of hope and help out there.''

An hour before any Wigan Athletic game is due to start I like to trawl along to the official club website and look for news of the team line-up. I did it last weekend and got an immediate sense of foreboding. Gohouri in for Alcaraz and only one winger in the line-up. A return to playing Jordi Gomez on the right wing? A question of pack your team with midfield players to stifle the opposition? Then maybe bring on another attack minded player later? Was this to be the way to get a good result against another struggling team?
• This post was contributed by Jakarta Jack, of Los Three Amigos of Wigan.
My sense of foreboding was to be temporarily lifted in the first few minutes with Latics going close to scoring on a couple of occasions. However, this was to be only a temporary respite. Wigan were playing without any attacking player on the right. Gomez would track back to help Boyce when the opposition attacked on their left, then move back to a central midfield position to receive the ball. As the half progressed a nervy QPR started to get on top. Their nerves were calmed after 32 minutes when James McCarthy idiotically palmed the ball away from a Barton corner. Helguson scored the resulting penalty with ease. The situation was exacerbated in the 45th minute when Gohouri 's trip on Campbell gave Buzsaky the chance to curl a wonderful free kick in off the post.
*contributed by Jakarta Jack, whose writing regularly graces Los Three Amigos of Wigan.
Wigan Athletic have enjoyed some unforgettable moments in the FA Cup. My fondest memory remains a trip to Maine Road to play European Cup Winners Cup holders Manchester City, in January 1971. A fine Man City footballing team full of household names like Bell, Summerbee, and Young, playing against non-league Wigan. There were more than 45,000 people there that day, estimates of 20,000 of them traveling from Wigan. Those were the days of Geoff Davies as Latics' centre forward. Signed from Northwich for £800, Geoff scored five hat tricks in his first three months, ending up with 42 goals for the season. Latics were unlucky to be losing 1-0 to a Colin Bell goal after 83 minutes following a bad goal kick from their admirable goalkeeper, Dennis Reeves. He had split his boot but apparently did not want to lose his concentration by stopping the play. You can see it here. In the last minute, Geoff Davies had a superb header pawed onto the post by the excellent Joe Corrigan. An unlucky ending for Gordon Milne's Latics team whose performance brought great pride to its supporters.
Judging by his post-match comments earlier this week, Roberto is ready to give his first team a good week and a half of rest and relaxation. They did, after all, face the traditional top four in back-to-back matches, the most physical team in the Premier League away, and Sunderland in heavy rain and swirling winds. Two of those were played with 10 men, and at least one against 12, it could be argued.
All of which means we are likely to see a few of the younger players in the squad, and a few older faces that have been on the fringe of the squad this season. Here are some of the lads I'll be looking out for tomorrow:
Callum McManaman: the 20-year-old is fresh from a successful loan spell at Blackpool, who judging by fan forums were sad to lose him. He scored a couple goals and looked quite confident. Scored for Latics almost exactly a year ago in last season's FA Cup 3rd round, so he'll be hoping to repeat the feat. It was cracker (40 secs in).
We felt in our match preview that this was a tough time to play Sunderland, a revitalized side brimming with confidence after claiming Manchester City's scalp at the weekend. Rarely will you see two strikes as sublime as those of Craig Gardner and David Vaughan in the same 90 minutes, and indeed it seemed everything went Sunderland's way. But the scoreline, and headlines in most of Wednesday's publications, paint a very false picture of a match Wigan had the better of, and should have put to bed before crucial decisions turned it upside down.
The first half was all Wigan - almost. Roberto turned a few heads with his stating lineup, resting the key duo of Victor Moses and Mohammed Diame; Albert Crusat and Ben Watson starting in their stead. The 3-4-2-1 formation that has yielded Latics best results this season was left intact. Steve Gohouri took Gary Caldwell's position at the centre of the back three, while Dave Jones and Ronnie Stam continued as advanced wing-backs, protected by the mostly defensive central midfield pairing of James McCarthy and Ben Watson. Ahead of them, Crusat started inside left, Jordi inside right, and Rodallega up top - though such is the fluidity of this system that Jordi's was more of a free-role, popping up left, right and center, with Ronnie Stam constantly overlapping him on the right wing.
This isn't the first time we've talked about having to face a team at an unfortunate time.
But since our boys — with a little help from Wes Brown — got Steve Bruce sacked in late November, Martin O'Neill has predictably turned things around quite dramatically at Sunderland. In his first game in charge, the Black Cats scored a last minute winner to topple Blackburn. They fought bravely but lost 1-0 at Spurs, then beat Queen's Park Rangers 3-2 In London, drew at home with in-form Everton, and most recently shocked everyone by not only beating but keeping a clean sheet against league leading Manchester City. Not a bad start.
Having found ourselves internet-less during the festive period, we look back on two of the best performances of the season, and another the standard treatment from an intimidated referee at Old Trafford. Overall, a pleasing festive period during which Roberto's team has started to show its real potential.
Wigan Athletic 1 Chelsea 1
The home side were more than a match for Chelsea, who had strung several wins together before this fixture. Daniel Sturridge scored a beautifully taken goal early in the second half against the run of play, but Latics persistence paid off when Petr Cech fumbled Rodallega's shot straight to Jordi Gomez for the equalizer.
The Good:
The entire performance, but special mention to the tackling in midfield, defensive solidity, and Jordi for being in the right place at the right time at the end of a very tiring match.
The Bad:
Shame it couldn't have been three points.
Player Ratings:
Ali Al-Habsi: 7; Antolin Alcaraz: 8.5; Gary Caldwell: 8; Maynor Figueroa: 8; Ronnie Stam: 7; Dave Jones: 7; James McCarthy: 8.8; Mo Diame: 7; Jordi Gomez: 7; Victor Moses: 8; Conor Sammon: 6
* contributed by Jakarta Jack of Los Three Amigos Wigan
Ben Watson made a welcome reappearance off the bench to salvage a well deserved point for Latics. A 10 man Latics team were trailing 2-1 when Hugo Rodallega was pulled down in the penalty box. The usual penalty taker, Jordi Gomez, had already been substituted so Martinez had a tough decision to make. It turned out to be an inspired decision, Watson hitting home the penalty with aplomb after being pulled off the bench to take it.
As expected Latics had to withstand the usual aerial bombardment from Stoke with multiple long throws form Rory Delap, although the wing backs did well in keeping in check the dangerous wingers, Pennant and Etherington. The stats tell us that Stoke only had two shots on target the whole game, whereas Wigan had six. Moreover Ali Al Habsi did not have a direct shot to save whereas Stoke's Sorensen had four, although Wigan had a slice of luck in the 60th minute when a header from Huth hit the post and fell into Al Habsi's welcoming arms. In between the aerial bombardment we saw the usual ruthless tackling from Stoke, with Latics getting minimal protection from the referee. Victor Moses in particularly was heavily marked.

Nokia increases legal pressure on Apple's iPhone
Nokia has launched yet another legal blitzkrieg against Apple. ??This time, the mobile phone manufacturer claims that "almost all" of Club Cupertino's mobile products, such as the iPod and iPhone, infringe on the Finnish company's patents.
According to the BBC, Nokia's latest complaint - which was recently filed with the International Trade Commission (ITC) - relates to seven patents that cover "user interface, as well as camera, antenna and power management technologies."
The latest lawsuit comes just months after Nokia sued Apple for allegedly infringing 10 patents with its popular iPhone touchscreen.
Although Apple has yet to respond to Nokia's most recent claim, it has counter-sued the mobile phone manufacturer for allegedly copying certain aspects of the iPhone and infringing 13 patents.
