Michael's current job is as an Engineer for General Dynamics. He is an avid swimmer and enjoys travelling to far-away places.
Instructional Objective The objective of the game is to practice the rules of algebra by solving several dozen different problems.
Learners/Context This game is intended for students familiar with beginning algebra. Depending upon the school, the players will be between the ages of 10 and 12. Variations of the game would be feasible for different learners by interchanging the sets of math problems.
Rationale Mathematics is considered by most students to be a frustrating and pointless experience. A board game was chosen for this subject mainly as a motivator for the students. Games are considered to be a good means to break the routine of traditional forms of teaching. This is especially true for the teaching of mathematics. An art theme was chosen to engage another part of the student's mind while practicing the fundamentals of algebra.
Equipment The game is equipped with the following items:
1. One magnetic game board
2. Two boxes of algebra problems (500 cards total)
3. Four playing tokens (1 of each color)
4. One die
5. 72 art cards
6. 400 magnetic colored art bits (100 of each color)
7. One hourglass timer
Other items required but not included with the game:
1. Four pads of scratch paper
2. Four pencils
Rules The object of the game is to become the first player to correctly paint his/her canvas. An average game with four players will take about 45 minutes.
To Start the Game Each player chooses a color and places that color token on the corner nearest to him/her. Designate a person to be keeper of the art bits and art cards. This person has the responsibility to handle all transactions between the players and these items. Separate the art cards by color (there are nine cards of each color). Set aside one set of cards for each player. Place the remaining sets of cards aside, they will not be needed for the remainder of the game. Each card containing the algebra problems have 3 different set of questions. Decide among the players, by letter "A", "B", or "C", which set of problems will be used for the game. Select a player to start the game.
The Play The first player rolls the die and moves in a clockwise direction the number of spaces as indicated by the die. After completing his/her turn, the player on the left rolls the die and moves. Each of the other players follow in turn. Two or more tokens may occupy the same space at the same time.
The Board The playing board has four types of spaces which can be landed upon. Below are directions for each of these spaces:
Numbered Spaces
When a player lands on one of these spaces, the player must solve an algebra problem. The person on the player's right picks a card from either one of the two boxes of questions and reads the problem aloud. The player then writes down the problem on his/her pad of paper. The timer begins once the problem is written down. After either one minute has passed or a player finishes before the time limit, the person reading the problem announces the answer written on the back side of the card. The player's answer must be circled on his/her paper. If the answer is correct, the player receives the number of bits as indicated on the space occupied by his token. The space also indicates what color bits are to be given to him/her. If the answer is incorrect, play continues on to the next player.
Spaces with Directions
The player landing on one of these spaces must follow the directions written on that space. If the directions are to give up bits, the color and number of bits to give up is indicated by that space. If available, the bits can come from any stock of bits the player has not placed on their canvas, otherwise they must be removed from the player's canvas. (See Painting Your Design)
Roll Again
When a player lands on one of these spaces, he/she must solve an algebra problem as explained above. If they are correct, the player receives three bits of any color. The player then takes another turn whether or not they answer the problem correctly.
Lose Turn
When a player lands on one of these spaces, he/she must forfeit their turn. Play proceeds to the next player.
Painting Your Design There are two stages in creating a design on a player's canvas:
1. Collecting Art Cards Each player must obtain all nine of their art cards and piece them together to form their design. These cards can be thought of as pieces of a puzzle. Each design has the same total number of art bits but contain different combinations of colors. To collect art cards, players must exchange 1 bit of each color (4 total) for each card. This can take place at any point in a player's turn. The first player able to exchange bits for a card has the choice of which color set of cards they want to play with during the game. The second player able to exchange bits for a card has a choice of the remaining three colors, etc. Once a color is chosen, the player receives only that color throughout the game.
2. Painting on the Canvas As players collect their art cards, they must arrange them in a such a way that the cards will begin to form a design. It is not necessary to wait until all nine cards are collected before painting on your canvas. However, the more cards in a players possession the better idea they will have of where to place their bits on the canvas. If bits are placed incorrectly on the canvas, a player must at some point in the game correct their picture. However, this can only be done during the player's turn. A player may not roll the die if they are correcting bits on their canvas. A player is allowed to place in any combination a maximum of 6 bits per turn. This can happen at any time during a player's turn.
Winning the Game The player who completes their design first wins the game.
Design Process There were many dead ends encountered while developing this game. The first was to decide how to design the game so that students uninterested in math would be persuaded to play. I chose art as the basic theme of the game for the reasons explained above. Through the process of playing Math Designs, players might attach a sense of fun and creativity while solving math problems. Another consideration that was important to achieve was to design the game so that it could be played by students learning any type of mathematical concept (addition/subtraction, quadratic equations, etc.). All that would be required to do would be to have different sets of problems pertaining to the level of the players.

If you have any questions about contraception, sexually transmitted infections, STI testing, pregnancy or abortion, the best thing you can do is speak with a doctor. If you don't have a doctor then talk to the DSC Clinic or visit a local clinic.
Who can have an abortion?
According to the Termination of Pregnancy (TOP) Act:
- there is no defined age limit for the abortion procedure
- there is no legal requirement for parental consent for minors
- abortion is prohibited after 24 weeks (6 months) of pregnancy unless the mother's life is in danger
What is the process?
- Abortion patients must undergo compulsory counselling before the procedure. Girls below 16 years of age need to be counseled at the Health Promotion Board Counselling Centre (except for rape victims).
- This is followed by a mandatory waiting period of 48 hours before the procedure can be done.
- If you want an abortion and your doctor refuses on personal grounds, you have the right to seek a second opinion. See here for other providers.
- Patients will normally undergo post abortion counseling after the procedure and may be required to return a week later to check for any complications.
- Because of the risk of infection, some doctors may advise that you should not have sex for up to two weeks after your procedure.
Types of Abortion
In Singapore, there are 2 main types of abortion procedure:
- Vacuum Aspiration – (up to 14 weeks)
The patient will have to fast for at least 4 hours and sedation will be given as anesthesia (ie you will be put to sleep for about 10 minutes). Then a small tube is placed into the womb via the vagina. An attached vacuum will then remove the pregnancy. The patient should be able to go home after 2 to 4 hours.
- Mid Trimester Pregnancy Termination – (14 to 24 weeks)
This process is more complicated and hospitalisation is usually required for a day or two. Medicine is inserted into the vagina to induce natural expulsion of the pregnancy. After the foetus and placenta are aborted, the womb is cleared by by vacuum aspiration as above.
Because the second procedure is much more complicated, it is much better for an early decision for abortion be made.
Legal restrictions on foreigners
Foreigners are only eligible for abortion in Singapore if one of the following criteria are met:
- They have been residing in Singapore for 4 months or more
- They are married to a Singapore citizen or have PR status
- If they have a work permit
More Info
- Guidelines on Termination of Pregnancy (PDF) – Ministry of Health
- Singapore Sees Abortion Rates Rise – AFP, May 2009
A Ministry of Health spokeswoman said there were 12,222 abortions in Singapore in 2008, compared to 11,933 in 2007. No official figures are available for 2009 (source). During the same period there were 39,935 babies delivered indicating that roughly 1 in 4 pregnancies are terminated.
While a small proportion of pregnancies are terminated for health reasons, most terminations are due to financial or social concerns (unwanted pregnancy).

Today's featured story is a bit of a departure from the norm. When we first began this section a few months ago it was to showcase and highlight interesting people, unsung heroes, people who in everyday life are doing fascinating things.
What we hadn't counted on in this process was how attached we'd become to people. We read their stories, laughed, cried, gasped along with them. We admired them. We befriended them. We followed their circuitous routes on the internet as these "stories" became real people with real lives.
One of our earlier featured persons was Emilie Lemmons. Some of you may remember her story- a young mother of two little ones who, when pregnant with her second son in 2007 discovered she had cancer. Interestingly, we "met" Emilie through Matt Logelin, another featured person on the site, who had lost his wife unexpectedly just after she gave birth to her "mini-me" blonde daughter, Maddy. Jodie Andrefski wrote both of these stories, and Jodie was the right person to write with compassion on both Emilie and Matt because of Jodie's own fights with cancer and other health issues.
Read Emilie's featured story "Starts & Stops & Everything in Between" here:
Read Matt's featured story "27 Hours" here:
On Christmas Eve, we were shocked to learn of Emilie's passing. She slipped away from all of us in the night, and her husband posted to her blog LemmonDrops her last words she left us all with:
Wednesday, December 24, 2008
Emilie's Passing
Emile passed away in her sleep last night. I was holding her hand as she faded away. I loved her and will miss hear dearly, but I am happy to see her free of the pain and suffering. The services will be at the Basilica of St Mary on Monday, December 29th. Visitation is at 11:00 AM and mass will follow at Noon. Emile wanted me to share the following quote after she died."And did you get whatyou wanted from this life, even so?I did.And what did you want?To call myself beloved, to feel myselfbeloved on the earth."— Raymond Carver
Post by Stephen Lemmons
How can she just be gone? we wondered. We cried until there were no more tears left. She was supposed to beat this thing! She was supposed to win, to overcome. She was one of the good guys. We had never met Emilie in person, but it didn't matter. We KNEW Emilie. Emilie was us.
When life slaps you across the face like this, the only thing we can do to truly honor Emilie's memory is to remember that she touched a lot of lives, and that she loved. I can't put it more simply than that: love. Life is precious and short. When we lose one of our own, too young, and especially to the evil that is cancer, we find ourselves taking a little slower step, an extra hug to our children, an extra affectionate squeeze to our significant others, a smile to the people who toil daily to make our lives more pleasant.
Now we are struggling with the knowledge that Jodie continues to struggle with her health. You may recall her story here about "It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccck" which is her usual delightful self telling us that the #$!@* cancer may have returned.
Please help me in sending some warm thoughts to Jodie as she goes through this very difficult time. I believe it was very hard for her to learn of Emilie and I dreaded telling her. Now the words can't come enough to tell another person that we're there for them, that we love them in our own ways, even if the words are clumsy or unbalanced.
If you ask yourself did you get what you wanted from this earth? To feel beloved – can you say yes?
Our thoughts are with the Lemmons Family, and Matt & Maddy, and of course our own dear Jodie.

You need to come back to us. We miss you.
This trifecta of sad news is overwhelming in that I feel helpless in what I can do. Jodie, I hope the tests all come back negative. Or at least they find something and can fix it. You're a great writer, you did a terrific job on both Matt and Emilie's stories, and I wish you a speedy recovery so we can get back to work :)
I'm holding you in my thoughts at this - we need you back, so get well soon ok? We do miss your voice.
Thoughts and hopes can ease much burden.Loves and doves can go beyond wording.But to prevail in victory is the thought of life.Cherish every moment and relieve the strife.Author unknownJodie, please research graviola, it is a pathway to cure.
I so appreciate your voice, your writing, and the little tidbits of you that are shared on this website. Though I don't know you, it is clear that you are so loved. You are in my thoughts and I wishing you joy, health, and healing.
I've been there Jodie, I have. And I am rooting for you! Your stories have touched my soul and I have to believe there is something bigger out there for all of us. Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. It is not enough that a thing be possible for it to be believed. - Voltaire
Two awesome women - Emilie and Jodie. One terrible disease. I just want to grab that disease (cancer) and throttle it by the neck, or at least absorb some of your pain. Jodie, I hope you get better, and soon. To the Lemmons, my heart goes out to you for your loss of your sweet Emilie.
I'm so sorry to hear about Emilie. I didn't know. And Jodie, I'm so sorry to hear it's back and crap. I so want you to get well to the old Jodie we know and love... miss you... xoxo
They are very good. Jodie you captured them well and I am sure Matt and Emilie both appreciated being featured and written up by you. I hope that you get better soon. Your children are waiting :) You're in our thoughts.
When I first started reading your stories, I thought I was sitting in a room with you listening to you talk. That's how clear your voice came through these stories. It's obvious that you cared about the people you wrote about (Emilie, Matt, etc). I too was shocked to hear about Emilie. I want to send you my thoughts and prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery, or heck, any recovery so long as it's a recovery and you come back to us.
To both you Jodie, to get well, and to the Lemmons family for their loss.
I too miss the delightful pros of Miss Jodie's writing. And very sorry to hear about Miss Emilie as well. My thoughts are with you all.With regards,Archibald Sharron
to each of you that took the time to send such kind thoughts my way. I'm sorry it took me this long to respond to you.I too send out heartfelt thoughts to the Lemmons family...when I heard the news...I cried. But I know Emilie is watching down from Heaven smiling at her family. I believe that with everything in me.

Day Four Recap ... Never in doubt!
Upper hand: A day that could still have provided plenty of drama ended up becoming an exhibition thanks to Rogers and Watson's enterprise. Australia has flinched in the face of plenty of small targets in the past but never looked likely to falter here, even after Warner departed with the score at 64. England simply couldn't peg the batsmen down, and ended up reaching the 231 at a more-than-healthy 4.45 per over. Incredibly, given England led by 116 runs with all second innings wickets intact, it lost by eight wickets!
The key man: No question it was Chris Rogers, whose second Test century could not have come at a better time, the only downer that he wasn't there at the finish. Far from a dour hand most would have expected of him, Rogers kept the scoreboard ticking over, his 116 coming from only 155 deliveries with 13 fours. At 36, his time in Test cricket is limited, but you sense there's still plenty of runs left in the tank in the immediate future.
Big moment: Two chances missed within 10 minutes ensured England wasn't going to conjure a mircale win. Rogers edged Broad behind, but keeper Bairstow was flat-footed and Cook's despairing dive was too late. Only a couple of overs later, Warner edged Stokes straight to slip where Cook spilt one of the most straight-forward chances of the series. There was no coming back from there.
It all could have changed if ... See above!
Things went swimmingly for ... Shane Watson still cops plenty, but after breaking down on day one, he rebounded well, managing to eke out at least a few overs in England's second innings, and today helping Rogers steer his side home without any fuss at all, finishing on 83 not out.
Not so swimmingly for ... Alastair Cook. Had a horror day, dropping two catches, the second one an absolute sitter, and copped it far and wide for his negative captaincy, defensive field settings and failure to bowl No.1 spinner Monty Panesar until shortly before lunch. Will be facing a torrent of criticism from his own country's cricket mafia for the next few days, with calls for his head as skipper certain to come.
What does it all mean?: Australia can pull off another 5-0 whitewash, this win perhaps even more damaging to the English psyche than Brisbane, Adelaide or Perth given how far on top they appeared only midway through yesterday's play. It's been an appalling summer for the former Ashes holder, and a golden one for the home side!
And that's it for the Fourth Test. Rohan Connolly signing off here at blog central. Join us in Sydney for the Fifth Test starting on Friday to see if the Aussies can make it a clean sweep. See you then!
And Mitch Johnson is man of the match yet again! Must have been a narrow call ahead of Chris Rogers, but his devastating spells both on day one and yesterday and his sharp fielding which ran out Joe Root played a critical part in the win. Might as well give him the man of the series award now while they're at it!
Amazing win by the Aussies . Belief persistence great skills under pressure. Special 100 by Bucky Rogers. Well done #4nil #ashes
— Damien Fleming (@bowlologist) December 29, 2013
AUSTRALIA wins by 8 wickets. (Watson 85 not out, Clarke 6 not out) Australia leads 4-0.
So it's all over halfway through the fourth day and Australia is triumphant again. Make sure you hang around for our post-game summary!
Last rites coming up! Four to win. Panesar the bowler, Watson on strike. A single, now Clarke gets the chance to hit the winning runs.No, another single. Watson, your turn ... And there it is! Slashes a four past mid-wicket and Australia wins by eight wickets after trailing by 51 runs on the first innings. What a performance!
Watson nearly holes out but it goes a mile in the air, over Anderson's head at cover, and he can't get there. That sort of series for England. And now Watson slogs a four over mid-off. Four more! Just five to win!
Boundary to Clarke brings up his 8000th Test run. Think he'll enjoy the next milestone in another 12 runs just as much!
Watson opening up now! Cuts Panesar for four then lofts him through mid-on for another, the straight drives for a third boundary in the over! Just 16 needed now. They're taking drinks. And while they do, Cook's captaincy is getting an absolute pasting from virtually every commentator at the ground, Australian and English both.
WICKET! Rogers goes, tries to cut Panesar and gets a little top edge through to Bairstow. And he walks off to a thunderous ovation, what a great hand in front of his adopted home crowd. His 116 lasted 155 balls with 13 fours.

And here's another winner, the MCG! Final crowd figure has been posted, 271,865 over four days, cementing Melbourne's reputation as a sporting mecca of the world! Panesar getting another bowl now. And the 200 comes up!
Four more to Rogers, yet another late cut off Stokes, takes him to his highest Test score! Now Australia moves to 199, and it's just a picnic, all semblance of pressure gone, England a very dispirited outfit indeed.
Chris Rogers. A great example of perseverance. And also why you pick your best eleven. Your age is irrelevant.
— Adam White (@White_Adam) December 29, 2013
Amazing stuff today and yesterday. Remember, England led by 116 with all 10 second innings wickets intact, and Australia is a chance to end up winning by nine wickets! What a stunning turnaround!
And there's 50 for Watson! Cuts Bresnan through point for a boundary to bring it up. Partnership is worth 112. And another four! Watson belts Bresnan back over his head, they're toying with them now!
There it is! Beautiful cover drive for four takes Rogers to 102! Great ovation for him, it's been a wonderful knock off only 135 balls with 11 fours and it looks certain to take Australia to victory!
Chris Rogers celebrates on making his century. Photo: Pat Scala
Rogers takes Bresnan for a two and a three, and all of a sudden he's 98. Anderson comes back on trying to stop him getting the ton.
Bowling change already, Bresnan coming back on for Stokes after just two overs. Cook doesn't seem to have much faith in any of his bowlers at the moment. Rogers 93, just seven more required for his second Test century.
Four for Watson! Gets a thick edge from Broad along the ground through slips to the rope. And that's the 100 partnership up from just 130 balls. Great attacking stuff from these two, haven't allowed themselves to be pinned down all day.
Want to take over the captaincy as well, Piers? You seem like an expert on everything, really.
We should have won this Test easily. Now we're being humiliated again. Quite unbelievable capitulation. Cook looks utterly clueless. #Ashes
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 29, 2013
Four to Rogers! Another deft late cut backward of point races away to the rope. Takes a single to follow and he's almost into the 90s.
Rogers flicks Stokes away for a single and that brings up the 150. End of the over, Rogers on 84, Watson 42, 79 more required.
It's going to be Stokes from the other end, Rogers on strike. Real chance for 100 here, will want to knuckle down after that chance last over.
And runs straight away! Watson drives Broad through cover for three, target's down to 85. And another chance! Tough one, though. Rogers gets an edge, it's low but it gets past Bairstow's outstretched left hand!
Right. Set to go again here. It's going to be Shane Watson on strike, Stuart Broad to open proceedings in the second session. Let's go!
LUNCH: Australia 1/143 (Rogers 81 not out, Watson 36 not out)
That was interesting! Rogers edged Stokes into his pads, didn't know where it had gone, and nearly shook it on to the stumps! Would have been a dead ball, though, thankfully! And that will be lunch. Great session for Australia, they added 113, Rogers and Watson have put on 79 from only 104 balls. Australia needs 88 more. See you back here in 30 minutes or so!
Panesar's not doing the job here, too full, and allows Rogers and Watson a couple of threes and a couple of twos. Ten runs from the over, just one before lunch, and Stokes coming back on to bowl it.
Well, Cricket Australia reckons it's all over! ...
Entry will be free to the @MCG at the commencement of the second session from 1.10pm #Ashes
— Cricket Australia (@CAComms) December 29, 2013
A couple of overs before lunch, and England looking a bit hangdog here. Broad went for six runs that over, and Watson's four was followed by a sloppy piece of fielding which allowed him another two. Just 99 to go, nine wickets in hand.
Crash! That's another boundary for Watson, wide one from Broad, and Watto cuts him imperiously to the fence at point. He's on to 30, and the target's nearly under 100.
Broad coming back now, and not a moment too soon. Australia sailing along, the run rate at four per over. England has to at least keep the pressure on for a while by keeping the scoreboard static.
And finally, Pansear comes on, just 25 minutes before lunch. Can he produce the goods where his peers haven't been able to?
There's the 50 partnership for Rogers and Watson, and in very healthy time, too, just 63 balls. Rogers nudges Root, who's on again, down to fine leg, and the target continues to shrink, just 113 needed now.
We've heard plenty, far too much in my view, about Piers Morgan's taking on Brett Lee in the nets the other day. But Sir Richard Hadlee has an interesting view on it.
Watson looking in much better nick now, timing is coming back and he's more prepared to force the issue. Another couple off Anderson takes him into the 20s.
Stuart Broad has only bowled two overs today and created a chance. Monty Panesar hasn't bowled at all in 90 minutes of play. Odd.
— Adam White (@White_Adam) December 29, 2013
And plenty of questions being asked as to why Cook is yet to bowl Panesar this morning. Fair enough, too, given Bresnan's lack of penetration and the fact even Root has been given three overs. Is he injured or does Cook simply not have much faith in him?
Now Watson's in on the act! Leans forward to Bresnan and straight drives him past the diving mid-off for four! Then repeats the dose past point for another boundary. This partnership is already worth 46, and the target is rapidly shrinking, 121 needed.
Beautiful pull from Rogers, that's the shot of the day! Short and wide outside off stump from Anderson, and Rogers blasts it to the square leg boundary! That's the 100 up for Australia, another 129 runs required.
Ohh, that was nearly out! Watson pulls Bresnan, off the glove and it flies just over Bairstow's head for four runs! Not looking overly comfortable, Watto, but he's into double figures now.
Another late cut by Rogers for four, glides it down to the vacant third-man position, that's his eighth boundary!
Anderson back into the attack now, Watson on strike. Lot of nerves around still, on both sides of the fence!
Great shot Rogers! Just dabs Bresnan down through gully and it races down to the boundary for another four. They're taking drinks, Australia 1/85, Rogers on 55, Watson 4, and another 146 required.
Rogers always hard to get out early, especially so at MCG this season: 36, 42, 88, 117 in Shield, now 61 and 51* in Test. #ashes #barnacle

And that's 50 for Rogers, his fourth this series! Got an inside edge down to the fence then pushed a two. Still some scepticism about him but he's got plenty of starts and is leading the way again here.

Bowling change. Tim Bresnan coming on for Root, would want to threaten more than he has so far this series. Australia 1/70.
Bowling well here, Ben Stokes. Gets one to duck back into new batsman Shane Watson off the seam, and he gets an inside edge on to his pad and up in the air. Things have tightened up, this will be a good test of Watson's mettle.
WICKET! Or maybe not! Short and wide, Warner tried to go up and under, but only succeeded in top edging Stokes straight to Bairstow, who has no choice but to go for this one! Well, how was that for a jinx? Won't say that again!

Four! Lovely late cut from Warner off Stokes, races down to the boundary. You sense Warner's going to make them pay for that dropped chance, score is up to 0/64 and the target now 167.
I'm loving this typical Aussie tactic of ' going after' the opposition captain - just never seen it before when he is standing at 1st slip
— Liam Pickering (@lennyp23) December 28, 2013
Cook desperate for a breakthrough now with the score up to 0/53, pulls a major surprise. It's spin, but not the No.1 man Monty Panesar, but part-timer Joe Root. This could be inspired, or it could very costly indeed!

CHANCE! Another dropped catch! And you CAN blame Cook for this one! Warner edged Stokes straight to him at first slip, his hands were in perfect position, and it just bounced straight off his palms! England don't seem to want to win this!
Broad still brooding about that chance, and rightly so, was definitely Bairstow's chance behind the stumps, a replica of what happened in Perth with Matt Prior and Cook. Broad taken off now, too, and Ben Stokes is on to replace him.
England needs a new fielding position: 0.5 slip. #ashes
— Greg Baum (@GregBaum) December 28, 2013
CHANCE! Goes down! Broad gets a big edge from Rogers, and the keeper Bairstow doesn't go for it! Cook at first slip had to go late, got a hand to it, but it skittles away for four. What a let-off for Rogers! Now he responds by top-edging Broad over the top of slips for another four, nearly a six! Eleven from the over, costly one for England!
Warner keeps the scoreboard ticking over, punches Broad back past the bowler for a couple more runs, then another single to backward point.
Rogers gets his first runs of the day now, pushes Anderson off his hip for a single. Warner works it square and another single. That's the over, Australia 0/36, 195 more runs required.
Warner plays a couple from Broad, tries to force him through covers, but cut off. Broad's line good so far, not much opportunity to score. And then he gets one through! Uppish little drive but it went through point and all the way to the rope. Target's under 200 now.
And that's the first over, a maiden. Rogers plays it very safely, looked solid. Now it's going to be Stuart Broad from the Members' end to Dave Warner. Can he work some magic, a la Durham in the English summer?
And we're set to start. Chris Rogers on strike, Jimmy Anderson to bowl, 201 needed. Play ball!
There will be a lot of Australian supporters nervous today despite what looks like a very gettable tally given our history of falling short in last-innings run chases. But one thing is certain, we're going to have a result today, and no fifth day. Weather today is good, and a lot milder than yesterday with a forecast top of 20 degrees. And while we're waiting, have a read of Geoff Lawson's piece today about Australia perhaps needing to give its quicks a rest.
Good morning all, Rohan Connolly here at blog central to take you through the fourth day's play in the Fourth Test at the MCG. A great day for Australia yesterday, with Nathan Lyon skittling the English line-up with five wickets, and an amazing late-order collapse of 5/6 leaving Australia with just 201 runs for victory today and all 10 wickets intact.
Day Three Recap ... Lyon's roar
Upper hand: Australia once again, though you wouldn't have believed it when England was 0/65 with a lead already of 116. But Cook's dismissal sparked an almost unbelievable procession of wickets, England then losing 10/114, including its last five wickets for just six runs. To rub further salt into the wound, Australia made it through to stumps not only with all wickets intact, but having shaved the victory target of 231 by 30 runs. There'll still be some nerves should a spate of wickets fall, but there still appears to be few gremlins in this pitch, and Australia must be confident of a stronger batting performance than first dig.
The key man: No doubt about it on day three, Nathan Lyon. The off-spinner took his 100th Test wicket and his first five-wicket haul in Australia and ripped the heart out of the England batting order to take Australia from looking a dispirited unit when Alastair Cook made batting look easy to the brink of victory. His 5/50 from 17 overs was a sensational performance and he's booked his spot in this team for some time to come.
Big moment: England still looked in pretty good position when Michael Carberry was dismissed, but just three balls later, Joe Root set for a very risky single, pushing Lyon to mid-off, only for Mitch Johnson to pick-up and throw down the stumps at the bowlers end with Root at least a metre short of his ground. That made it 3/86, and England's innings would descend into chaos thereafter.
It all could have changed if ... Root had have been a little more circumspect about judging a run. While Carberry had crawled before his dismissal, their batsmen hadn't looked in any particular danger, and another 30 or 40 runs without loss would have just about broken Australia's back.
Things went swimmingly for ... This was Lyon's day. His 100th Test wicket is a significant landmark, and his performance all series has been spot-on. Finally, the long-running debate about a successor to Shane Warne's throne as Australia's Test spinner has been definitively settled.
Not so swimmingly for ... Tim Bresnan. The England bowler and lower-order bat has been a big disappointment out here, his bowling failing to penetrate, much less intimidate, and his batting not looking anything like the pseudo all-rounder he's been cast as in recent years. His misjudged pull shot off Lyon looked like the stuff of a No.11, not a No. 8.
What does it all mean?: Australia has had its issues chasing down smallish targets over the years, but it did chase down more than 300 in South Africa just over two years ago, and the start of Rogers and Warner in the last few overs would give Clarke and his men further encouragement. One thing is for sure, this game will be decided on day four one way or the other.

From NBC's Mark Murray
In recent days, McCain has taken some critical -- and, some might argue, personal -- shots at Obama. On Sunday, McCain questioned the tenuous association Obama has with the former '60s radical William Ayers. Yesterday, he delivered a jab at Obama's association with Jeremiah Wright. (Responding to questions about the endorsement he received from the controversial pastor John Hagee, the Arizona senator said, "I didn't attend Pastor Hagee's church for 20 years.")
And today, on a call with conservative bloggers, McCain said this: "I think it's very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States. So apparently has Danny Ortega and several others. I think that people should understand that I will be Hamas's worst nightmare... If Senator Obama is favored by Hamas I think people can make judgments accordingly."
McCain was referring to a the favorable comment a Hamas adviser recently made of Obama. But Obama has criticized the terrorist group and has said he would not meet with them.
Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan responded to McCain's comment on Obama and Hamas. "We want to take Senator McCain at his word that he wants to run a respectful campaign, but [it] is becoming increasingly difficult when he continually tries to use the politics of association and makes claims he knows not to be true to advance his campaign. This type of politics of division and distraction, not only lead to a campaign not worthy of the American people, but also has failed to help our families for too long."
Sevugan also points to this Obama camp statement that was made after the Hamas adviser made his remarks -- a statement the McCain campaign should have known of. "Senator Obama has repeatedly rejected and denounced the actions of Hamas, a terrorist organization responsible for the deaths of many innocents, that is dedicated to Israel's destruction. As president, Obama will work with Israel to isolate terrorist groups like Hamas, target their resources, and support Israel's right and capability to defend itself from any attack."
*** UPDATE *** McCain spokesman Brian Rogers defends McCain's statement earlier today with this statement. "This is a legitimate issue for the American people to think about. The reason for Hamas' praise of Senator Obama's foreign policy is his commitment to meet unconditionally with Iran -- a nation whose president denies the Holocaust, threatens to wipe Israel off the map, funds terrorists and sends weapons to Iraq to kill American soldiers. Senator Obama's positions present a radical departure from the longstanding bipartisan consensus for isolating rogue regimes like Iran and North Korea.
"It is not only responsible to raise these critical issues in this election, but it would be the height of irresponsibility not to have this discussion with the American people."

Rick's Camaros is your one-stop shop for 1991 Camaro parts. The sought-after 1991 Camaro was a 3rd Generation Camaro. Spanning from 1982-1992, 3rd Generation Camaros were equipped with factory fuel injection, four-cylinder engines, 16 inch wheels and hatchback body styles. The slightly smaller 3rd Gen Camaros were the first built without front subframes or leaf-spring rear suspensions. Adding to the impressive all new design, 3rd Gen Camaros were also the first to feature four-speed automatic transmissions and five-speed manual transmissions. Third Generation Camaros included the Sport Coupe, Berlinetta, and Z28 models. With an early arrival of March 1990, the 1991 Camaro models featured the RS Coupe, RS Convertible, Z28 Coupe and Z28 Convertible. Chevrolet chose not to renew its contract with the International Race of Champions, so the IROC-Z was no longer offered. The re-introduced 1991 Z28 featured a tall rear wing, new lower body cladding, non-functional hood louvers and five-spoke wheels. 1991 was the first year that the B4C Special Service Package option was made available to law enforcement. The 1990 Camaro a B4C police package was a Z28 that dressed as an RS and equipped with most of the equipment developed for the 1LE race package. In addition to carrying 1991 Camaro parts, we have parts for all third generation Camaro models available. We have the best prices and we have all the 3rd generation Camaro parts and accessories you need to help you restore your 1991 Camaro.

History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin (8 vols.)
by D'aubigné, J. H. Merle, Cates, William
Longman 1863–1878
Published over the span of fifteen years, Jean Henri Merle d'Aubigne's 8-volume History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin offers a sweeping history of the second generation of the Reformation. D'Aubigne not only conceived of the Reformation in theological and ecclesiastical terms, but defined it as a watershed moment for all of human history. His 8-volume history of the Reformation describes not only theological and ecclesiastical reform, but also the implication of the Reformation on culture, the arts, philosophy, and science in the centuries which followed.
Although John Calvin figures prominently in the History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin, this work is not biographical. Instead, Jean Henri Merle d'Aubigne uses Calvin's life and the church in Geneva to narrate the comprehensive scope of religious reform during the sixteenth century. These books outline the people, places, and ideas which shaped the Reformation in France, England, Spain, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands. He argues that not only religious, but also political emancipation results from the Reformation, and explores the nature of religious freedom, political liberty, and the influence on human history in the three centuries following the Reformation.
The History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin not only became a best-selling and widely praised account of the Reformation, but remains one of the most compelling and influential Reformation histories more than a century after its original publication. With Logos, you get access to these massive volumes with the power and speed of your digital library. Perform searches, create footnotes and citations, and click your way through one of the most comprehensive Reformation histories ever written! These volumes are ideal for Reformation scholars, church historians, and theologians.

About Jean Henri Merle d'Aubigne
Jean Henri Merle d'Aubigne was born 1794 in Geneva. He studied theology at the Académie de Genève. He was ordained in 1817, and moved to Berlin to study at the University of Berlin under August Neander. An 1817 celebration of Martin Luther's life inspired him to write A History of the Reformation, a project he undertook years later.
In 1818, Jean Henri Merle d'Aubigne became minister at the French Reformed Church in Hamburg, where he remained until he became pastor of a church in Brussels from 1823 to 1830. He returned to Geneva in 1831 to help found the theological seminary there, and became professor of church history. The 5-volume History of the Reformation of the Sixteenth Century was published in French between 1835 and 1853, and The History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin was published between 1863 and 1878, the last three volumes published posthumously. During his lifetime, Jean Henri Merle d'Aubigne received honorary doctorates from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) and the University of Berlin.
Jean Henri Merle d'Aubigne died in 1872.

Marquez, of course, is in a great bargaining position and no deal has been reached. Plus, he is 39 years old, with 62 professional fights and 462 professional rounds.
Long-term future
Age and years of punishment are also a concern for Pacquiao. He is 34, and has had 61 professional fights and 371 professional rounds.
A popular theory in the immediate aftermath of this knockout was that this kind of out-cold damage would not allow Pacquiao to be the same quality fighter.
"He says he's fine, and I believe him," says Roach, who knows all too well the dangers of boxing too long. He did, and is now slowed by neurological damage.
"There are things I will be looking for in our next training camp," he says. "First, it is the footwork. I will be able to tell if he starts feeling for the canvas. I remember when I did. I'll look for any slight tremors. I remember watching Larry Holmes show a slight tremor when he was doing the mitts in training and I always thought that was a bad sign for his future. But so far, so good."
Roach says he will have Pacquiao spar considerably less and will also have a conversation with him about his reasons for continuing to fight. Pacquiao is a member of the Philippine congress, with a bright political future.
"If he says he needs to keep going to pay for the politics, I will tell him that's the wrong reason," Roach says. "If it is because he still wants to and loves it, that's the right reason."
And how closely will this boxing superstar listen to his longtime coach and mentor?
"Manny told me," Roach says, "that if I tell him it is time to stop, he will."
For the moment, it appears that, unlike that fateful night in December, Roach and Pacquiao are not yet ready to be down for the count.

"Ever since puberty, ever since I was 11 or 12, I've had cyclical depression. That's something that has been a defining feature of my life as an adult. It's manageable. But it's real. And it doesn't take away from my joy or my work or my energy, but coping with depression is something that is part of the everyday way that I live and have lived for as long as I can remember. … Depression for me, you can't distract your way out of it. … When you are depressed, it's like the rest of the world is the mother ship, and you're out there on a little pod and your line gets cut and you don't connect with anything. You sort of disappear. And so it's not something you can talk-therapy out of. It's really a chemical thing.
