Wilcox falls to French Creek Valley, plays for Region 8 title
ST. MARYS – Once again, Wilcox has the fate of a tournament come down to one game. Wilcox will play for the Region 8 championship this afternoon after an 11-6 loss to French Creek Tuesday night at Berwind Park. French Creek Valley will play Albion at 1 p.m. with the winner to play Wilcox at 4 p.m. for the championship. Wilcox also faced this situation in the Elk County League Tournament as the team lost to Fox Township but rebounded to win the following day in the league title game. "We lost to Fox, we got backed in a corner and we came back and put it to them," Wilcox coach Jeff Peterson said. "Now we're backed in a corner again and we're coming with our best guns. We're going to be ready to go, it's going to be a good game." Things began to unravel for Wilcox in the fifth inning as the team made a pair of errors which evaporated a 2-1 lead. Kyle Wise singled to left field before AJ Thompson struck out and Adam Bronson flew out to center field. Tyler Walpers doubled to left field to score Wise and tie the game, Walpers scored on a single from Kyle McCray to shortstop as he hit it just far enough past shortstop to beat out a long throw from Cole Peterson. McCray threw eight innings and allowed six runs on 12 hits with four walks and six strikeouts. Wilcox had four of its runs in the seventh and eighth innings when McCray's pitch count become inflated. McCray finished with 134 pitches in eight innings. "They had their best kid on the mound, he shut us down last year, we actually hit him better there at the end," coach Peterson said. As the fifth continued, Luke Carter singled to move McCray to third. Ryan Paden walked to load the bases and Hunter Johnston would earn an RBI on a walk to score McCray for a 4-2 lead. Scott Sada reached on a Wilcox error which scored Carter and Paden for a 6-2 lead halfway through the game. Errors were a problem on both ends as each team committed five miscues on the game. "Our defense was terrible," coach Peterson said. "I think that's the worst game we had all year defensively. We're not an error-making team, we haven't made errors all year." French Creek Valley added three runs in the top of the sixth inning before Wilcox added a pair of runs in the seventh on a 2-run single by Kyle Sheldon which scored Josh Mitchell and Peterson. The teams each added two runs in the eighth inning. Walpers walked and later scored. McCray reached on a Wilcox error and also would cross the plate. In the home half of the eighth, Frank Kocjancic singled to left field and Peterson would also single to plate Kocjancic. Taylor Feronti doubled home Peterson to make the margin 11-6. Wilcox opened the scoring with a run in the second inning. Quinn Luhr reached on an infield single with one out. A groundout by Cameron Grumley moved Luhr to second and Kocjancic singled Luhr home with a hit to left field. In the fourth inning, French Creek Valley got on the board as McCray led off with a walk and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Carter. After a Paden strikeout, Johnston would single to plate McCary and tie the game. Joe Holmberg led off the fourth with a single and then went to second as the ball was misplayed in the outfield. Luhr then bunted to first. The ball was thrown away into foul territory on the first base side. Holmberg would come around to score while Luhr would make the turn toward third. The French Creek Valley throw to third was airmailed past third which allowed Luhr to take the extra base for French Creek Valley's second error of the inning. Peterson, Joe Holmberg, Luhr and Kocjancic each had two hits for Wilcox while Sheldon had two RBI. Peterson crossed the plate twice. Jesse Reynolds started the game for Wilcox on the mound and went 4 2-3 innings, he walked three and struck out four. Mitchell Holmberg finished the last 4 1-3 innings with four walks and four strikeouts. Coach Peterson said he has the pitching situation lined up with a combination of Peterson and Mitchell to be used in the championship game. "We're set for our pitching," coach Peterson said. "No matter what, one of them got to play two games. It doesn't matter. They're going to be burning up pitching. They're both good teams that we're playing. It doesn't matter who face, I don't really care who face. We're going to be ready. We're going to come at them with our best whether they're worn down or not. That's what they're going to get, we're going to get strike throwers. There's going to be no walks, no freebies. It's going to be a good game."

The funny ladies – no strangers to awards shows – will replace Ricky Gervais
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will host the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards on NBC in January, replacing Ricky Gervais after two caustic years.
"Having both Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on board to host this year s festivities is a major coup," says Paul Telegdy, President of Alternative and Late Night Programming at NBC Entertainment.
"Tina and Amy have a proven chemistry and comedic timing from their many years together on SNL to their successful co-starring roles in Baby Mama."
The funny ladies have already been a hit as awards show presenters – the Poehler-orchestrated beauty pageant sendup was the hit of the 2011 Emmy Awards – and both have Globes experience, with Fey as a winner for 30 Rock and Poehler as a nominee for Parks and Recreation.
The awards, selected by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, air live from the Beverly Hilton on Jan. 13.

Responses already! Thanks guys!And Jackolyn, thanks for your feedback - I think you bring up a good point. Incantation and I have had a bit of back-and-forth about this rule. We ended up erring on the side of a higher number, but given the pace of the forum and the size of our community, maybe that's unnecessary. I'd like to ask the participants to see what they're most comfortable with, so I added a poll.
Oh I would love more than anything to participate in this, however my post count kind of prevents me from doing so...
I am also aware that the main admin group on here has a very tight circle of people, so I completely understand wanting/requesting a high volume of posts (and a general sense of familiarity with a new participant) before you accept them.
In the spirit of Christmas, your wish has come true.
This isn't really an official thing, but as far as admins go, I can assure you that we would like nothing more than to have more people actively involved in the community.
The poll is a great idea! I, for one, would love to participate but I'm more of a lurker than I am a poster, however I am just as invested in this community as the high volume posters on this website!I think that between 50-100 is a good safe number, as it demonstrates a solid level of involvement within the community.(Though with that being said, I STILL fall short of that number, but you get my point .)And if you were at all uncertain about a person participating, you can go through and do a bit of a "security check" on said person who has a lower number of post frequency to make sure that they're not just spamming for attention or appear untrustworthy in any way.--Also, check the date that they registered. I myself have been on this forum practically every day since 2012, so just because I have a small amount of posts doesn't mean I'm just a passing visitor! I know that I'm not the only one.
And even if I get to participate or not, I think it's a fantastic idea and I really just love the idea of the Berserk community getting together and doing a Secret Santa. Something about that just makes me over the moon happy!
I'm dropping out of the Reddit Secret Santa gift exchange so I can participate in this.That cool?
I'm in this year. I have job and money so... YEAH
Sent off my present today!!
I'm really looking forward to Christmas now knowing there's something special from the Berserk community on its way!!
Also, just a general note to everybody, nobody is obligated to wait till the 25th to open their present if they don't celebrate Christmas or if you're not religious and just want some sweet presents. I don't know if I ever made it explicitly clear in the first post or subsequently, but the 25th is just the final deadline. That is, unless your Schnoz wants you to wait, because torturing your friends and loved ones is what the holidays are all about.
Got mine from jackolyn today, thanks!. I think i know what it is from the sound of broken glass

A case study of students entering an early college high school: Changes in academic behavior perceptions
Healy, James J. (James Joseph), 1953-
MetadataShow full item record
Healy, James J. (James Joseph), 1953-
The purpose of this study was to learn more about the transition experiences of one group of high school students ( N = 75) as they began attending one alternative pathway: an Early College High School program on a community college campus. A four-part conceptual framework of college readiness provided a structure from which to explore the experiences of students in the college environment. One of the four framework areas--academic behaviors (self-management)--was the focus of this study. Data were collected by means of a pre-post survey, student interviews, and staff interviews in order to understand better the college readiness perceptions of the students, principally as evidenced by changes in their academic self-management behaviors. The survey data were organized into pre-post group comparisons and were reported in terms of descriptive statistics. The data from semi-structured interviews with participants provided additional insight into changes in the academic and social behaviors of the students. Results indicate that students' academic behaviors changed during the first term of college. Over the eight survey domains measured, mean scores generally increased moderately between the pre and post surveys in several domains associated with academic behaviors, with two key domains--self-awareness and learning habits (i.e., learning strategies/study habits)--showing the most growth. Additionally, student interview comments demonstrated changes at the end of their first term of ECHS in their study habits and in their ownership of their school efforts. The overall changes in students' academic behaviors imply that they learned new skills as a result of participation in the ECHS program.

SCHMALLENBERG, GERMANY – Local authorities believe a virus is killing their lambs, but WWN can confirm that The Gootans are responsible
A number of lambs were born dead or with serious deformities such as fused limbs and twisted necks, which mean they cannot survive.
Scientists urgently tried to find out how the "disease", which they thought would also affect cattle, spreading to more and more farms every day.
But, it is NOT a virus. The United Nations sent Dr. Susan Begley, the leader of the International Panel on Extraterrestrials and lead scientist and ufologist, Banesh Bannerjee, to Schmallenberg to investigate.
Their conclusion: The Gootans have struck again.
Aliens from Planet Gootan landed in southwest China and in the Indonesian Sea in late November, 2011. Since that time The Gootans have spread out across the globe and are preparing an attack on humans. So far they have attacked blackbirds, salmon and some deer. This is the first reported attack on lambs.
It is unclear how The Gootans attack, because they are often invisible to human eyes. Sometimes The Gootans take the shape of the mammal they are attacking. Dr. Begley submitted this picture of a lamb that she believes is actually a Gootan:
The National Farmers Union has called it a potential "catastrophe" and warned farmers to be vigilant. "We need to take action to protect our lambs from The Gootans," said Wellington Urgo, of the NFU. "We don't yet know the extent of the attacks. We only know that it is happening.
The lambing season has only just begun, which means that the full impact of the attack will not be felt until the weather warms up.
Some farms have lost half of their lambs. So far the worst hit in Britain have lost 20 per cent, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
Approximately 16 million lambs are born in Britain every year and sell at market for about $250 each. The effect of the Gootan attack on farms that are already struggling in the downturn could be severe.
The good news? Dr. Bannerjee told WWN that he believes it will only be a limited attack on the lambs. "This is just a warning. They will certainly turn their attention to other animals. That's why we at the U.N. are preparing a strategic defense."
The silence of the lambs…

This is part of my Wondering About Series. Feel free to e-mail any questions you are wondering about to sheridan AT enjoybirth DOT com.
What is the Hypnobabies Yahoo Group and how can I join?
The Hypnobabies Yahoo Group is for expecting moms who are curious about or using hypnosis for birth. We have moms on there using all kinds of hypnosis for birth programs:
- Hypnobabies Live Course
- Hypnobabies Home Study
- HypnoBirthing Live Course
- Reading HypnoBirthing Book
- HypBirth
- Private classes with Hypnotherapist
It is a very active group with 30-40 messages posted a day. The moms are all great and very supportive of each other. Just last week I had a mom post a question FROM THE HOSPITAL. Her baby's head was tilted a little and her birthing time had stalled. Her OB was threatening her with a cesarean if things didn't pick up. She wanted tips on how to get things moving. Other moms jumped in with some easy ideas. "Try hands and knees" etc. She e-mailed back hours later saying that baby did move and she had her vaginal birth.
The Hypnobabies Yahoo Group is a great group for you to join if:
- you are an expecting mom interested in learning more about hypnosis for birth.
- you are an expecting mom trying to decide if getting the Hypnobabies Home Study is worth the money.
- you are an expecting mom trying to decide which childbirth for hypnosis is the best for you.
- you are an expecting mom using Hypnobabies.
I moderate the group along with other Hypnobabies Instructors. So it is a great group for moms using the Hypnobabies Home Study, because any questions they may have as they study can get answered.
You can join by going here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hypnobabies/ and applying.
IMPORTANT: You must send an introduction to be approved into the Hypnobabies Yahoo Group, after applying you should get an automatic e-mail with instructions on how and where to send your introduction.

WrestleView's Trade Deadline (Draft) Special
Written by: Anthony J. Valvo
General Managers: David Stephens (WWE), Chris Kelly (TNA), Josh Piedra (ROH)
Trade Insider: Jose Marrero
Commissioner: Anthony J. Valvo
Hello once again, students of WrestleView! It is I; Anthony J. Valvo bringing you yet another feature to what I think is the BEST WRESTLING WEBSITE out there on the Internet today! This feature is going to have a ?trade deadline? theme.
Here is what brought up this idea of this innovative feature. As you all know, earlier last month Donald Trump did a ?15 superstar trade? with the other brands (AKA I think the WWE messed up in the draft). Then came along the Major League Baseball Trade Deadline, which occurred a week or so ago. Being a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates, it was sad to see the likes of Jack Wilson, Freddy Sanchez, Ian Snell, John Grabow, and others leave for some above average prospects. Another light bulb came up for me in between Trump's ?trade? and the actual MLB trade deadline. Since I don?t teach during the summer, I decided to create a fictional trade deadline for the three top wrestling promotions in the United States. Then it hit me?I was going to need loads of help from some columnists of WrestleView.
Enter the WV Faculty, who never let me down. I sent an e-mail to the entire faculty, and I got four professors involved in this. I thank them for spending a lot of time on this in advance. I appointed three columnists as ?General Manager? for either the WWE, TNA, or ROH. In this feature, David Stephens (That's A Wrap!! and ECW recapper) is our GM for the WWE. Chris Kelly (Resident Chat room user and substitute columnist because TNA Epics is no more) is our GM for TNA. Last, Josh Piedra (The Shoot) was appointed GM for ROH.
That is not all though. We also have a trade insider as well! Since I could not get another group in time, I appointed Jose Marrero (Wrestling Rumblings) to be a third party Insider, kind of like a MLB insider after trades are done. He is one of the brightest wrestling minds on the web today, and I am honored to have him on board for this as well.
Here was the layout. The General Managers and I were at an undisclosed chat room and were given one hour to conduct trades. Overall, there were 12 trades (with one trade throwaway trade which I will still post). If this was real, dozens of wrestlers were going places (from tag teams to main event stars). After the trades were done, I got the GMs takes on why they made these trades. Also, I got the Insider's take on these. Also, how much of an impact this trade would become on a 5 star scale. What you will see now is everything that was discussed. We all approved of it and it is ready for all to enjoy. So class heads up!! Pay attention!! The Trade Deadline Special Begins?NOW!!
(In Parentheses) is Mr. V's Mid-2009 Ranking for each wrestler from that particular brand. You can find all of them at:
**David Stephens did not use the Star Rating**
**Jose Marrero did not provide his take for Trade #13, and I do not blame him**
Trade #1
WWE Received: Homicide (#27 in TNA) and Hernandez (#30 in TNA)
TNA Received: Shad (#45 in WWE) and JTG (#44 in WWE)
David: I was the first to act in the draft room and boldly proposed this trade to TNA. This was actually an overreach as I anticipated TNA rejecting and then I was going to ask for the Motor City Machine Guns instead. In a nice surprise to kick things off as TNA accepted. LAX is great as a tag team, plus you all know how much we here at the WWE love breaking teams up for no reason. So I know they can succeed in my company either way.
Chris: I'm a big fan of Shad and JTG as a tag team and if used the correct way they could be a great Big Man/Smaller Man tag team. I let LAX go as I feel they have run their course as a tag team(as TNA hinted a break up) and whilst I like Hernandez, TNA likes their tag teams and would rather have a decent active tag team than one that might be about to split up. 1.5 Stars
Jose: I think the first thing you have to recognize when looking at all these trades is what the goals are of each company. WWE taking LAX shows me that they may be interested in redeveloping there tag team division and well what better place to start than a tag team that many would feel is one of the top 5 tag teams in recent memory. If you are WWE you push LAX to the moon and you make them your Unified Tag Team Champions and give them a run and then when the run is over you try Homicide out in the mid card and maybe put Hernandez in ECW to give him a solid run there and groom him for bigger things later.
Now if you are TNA you are looking to recycle stars that may have already had there run over and over and over again and you are just looking for entertainment value and name recognition. LAX has had there run in TNA but Cryme Tyme has potential there. Say what you want about Cryme Tyme but there is no disputing that they are over with small children and if I am TNA that's a demographic I want to reach. Give them a shot there and if push comes to shove you can always recycle JTG into the X Division where he may surprise people with his athleticism. 2 Stars
Trade #2
ROH Received: Low-Ki (Kaval in WWE) (unranked: no matches in WWE)
WWE Received: Kenny Omega (#17 in ROH)
Josh: Kenny Omega is still new to ROH fans while Low-Ki was a main staple and the first ROH World Champion. Losing Omega and allowing him to develop a better character in the WWE in exchange for getting one of the ROH Legends back on the roster was a good trade that will benefit both companies. 4 Stars
David: This is a great gain for the WWE. We were able to trade a developmental talent for a stellar wrestler. Low Ki has his strengths with in ring ability, but he sorely lacks on the microphone. Kenny Omega is the complete package. Omega is solid on the mic, a talented wrestler, and he is attractive to boot. Hey, let's not pretend that how a wrestler ?looks? isn?t a factor in success.
Jose: If you are ROH in this trade scenario you start to recognize that being on TV means you need to have some stars with name value on TV to lure viewers in to see some of the rising stars in ROH. However in doing this you also don't want to alienate your hardcore fanbase. Low Ki is the first ROH champion bringing him into the fold will give you someone who has a wide range of exposure all over the world and can pacify the ROH fans in the short term. However in the long term as you will see with a lot of the ROH trade choices I wonder how Low Ki can hold up working that strong style ROH style. He is not getting any younger and injuries are starting to take there toll on his body.
Kenny Omega is a WWE Homegrown talent having come up early on in DSW before becoming disenchanted with the WWE developmental system and asking for his release. If you are WWE you are looking to tap into Omega's natural charisma and possibly groom him as a next generation version of Chris Jericho. 2 Stars
Trade #3
WWE Received: AJ Styles (#10 in TNA) and Daniels (#20 in TNA)
TNA Received: Jeff Hardy (#8 in WWE) and Shelton Benjamin (#22 in WWE)
David: This pick may seem lopsided to some, but I am confident in the company's direction. Hardy may very well be the most popular wrestler the WWE has right now, but as we?ve seen in the past he can disappear from WWE TV, go to TNA and yet make hardly a small splash. If I was to immediately insert Daniels or AJ on to WWE programming they might not make it, so I plan on teaming them back up as a Tag Team.
Chris: Both AJ Styles and Daniels have been lost in the mix of the MEM vs. Frontline battle and are being much underused. Whilst I would like to keep AJ and Daniels, Shelton Benjamin could do some crazy a$$ spots as well and could fly around the ring with the X Diversion with the belt (to get him over) then be moved up into the World Title picture. As for Jeff Hardy, He is super over with the fans and I think he would bring a few fans from WWE into TNA plus he would be a crucial member of the MEM or as the big babyface fighting them. 4 Stars
Jose: Going back to the formula of redeveloping there tag team division WWE appears to have made a boo boo here sacrificing Jeff Hardy and Shelton Benjamin here to get AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels. Sure AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels can go and will definitely be an asset to what is shaping up to be a excellent tag team division however the difference in charisma and popularity to Hardy and Benjamin that WWE is losing (specifically Hardy) makes this trade seem foolish. WWE will push Styles and Daniels as a tag team and try to push them both as singles stars only to see them both flounder in the mid card.
TNA really made a steal here. Sure they gave up two homegrown stars and one that could even be considered the face of the company but they got the most popular wrestler going in the business right now in Jeff Hardy. If TNA thought Hardy was over in his first stint with the company imagine how much they can get out of him right now? I see DVD's, Toys and T Shirts flying off of the shelves as well as more mainstream recognition which is exactly what TNA is going for in this trade scenario. As much as we can praise the present TNA talent roster the truth of the matter is that younger stars such as Styles and Daniels are being wasted on the platform that is TNA and might be better off being recylced to the WWE where they can gain more exposure and work on becoming house hold names. Meanwhile you have a marketers dream in Jeff Hardy and a diamond in the rough in Shelton Benjamin as sort of a throw in. 4 Stars
Trade #4
TNA Received: Claudio Castagnoli (#2 in ROH) and Jerry Lynn (#3 in ROH)
ROH Received: Samoa Joe (#16 in TNA)
Chris: I'm gonna admit I don?t know much about Claudio Castagnoli but from what I?ve seen he looks pretty good so he would be good in TNA. Jerry Lynn is always good to have around as he was one of the "founders" of the X Div and could fit back in there to change it back to the basic form instead of this 300 miles an Hour, 50 moves per second train wreck it is at the moment. Another reason to have Jerry back is that he would be able to put talent over. Soma Joe in TNA is getting stale despite Taz coming in so with Joe out, i would place Taz with Teney as the announcers. 2 Stars
Josh: Claudio has been on the cusp of main event status, but can not hold onto it. His new character is developing and Jerry Lynn, while a former ROH World Champion, is more or less enhancement talent at this point. Trading them both for the longest reigning ROH World Champion and ROH Legend Samoa Joe was a great trade in my opinion as Joe could fill both of their shoes easily. 4 Stars
Jose: I dont like this trade for TNA. Jerry Lynn while still being good in the ring is past his prime and doesnt have that much time left in the business and the time he has remaining should be spent in the mid card if it is going to be in a major company and Claudio Castignoli in my opinion is where he needs to be in ROH. Sure Claudio can join the World Elite or something to that effect but there is not much for him to do but languish in TNA same thing for Jerry Lynn while the value they lose with Samoa Joe is just not worth it.
ROH is holding true in there tactics of getting back a homegrown star who now thanks to his exposure elsewhere has more name value. However as asked previously will ROH change there style because while wrestlers such as Joe came up in that style the injuries that have mounted over the years have taken there toll on his body and you have to think that ROH would like to have Joe in the main event scene as often as possible. You can't do that if Joe is always out hurt. 3 Stars
Trade #5
TNA Received: Edge (#5 in WWE) and William Regal (#42 in WWE)
WWE Received: Chris Sabin (#6 in TNA) and Alex Shelley (#1 in TNA)
Chris: I'm a BIG William Regal have and if he was in TNA I could see him getting pushed whilst put over younger talent over on his way. Regal is one of these guys who don?t mind putting the younger wrestlers over and could provide TNA with something they are missing… Decent midcard talent. I would have him join The British Invasion and work as their mouthpiece/Manager whilst competing for the Legends Belt. Edge could work as a heel or babyface in the main event so he's a decent signing for TNA. As for TMCMG's, well I?m not a big fan of the new X Div which they seem to be a big part of. 4 Stars
Dave: Regal only has a couple of years left in him and I think that Edge is past his prime. I don?t see Edge making a difference or taking any fans with him to TNA so I?m using this trade to add depth to the tag division.
Jose: It would appear WWE is really just throwing out the bathwater with the baby on this deal trying to piece together a very hot tag team division but cleaning out its main event scene as well as it's mid card. While I do agree with many that I am tired of seeing the same guys in the main event every month I don't agree with just shipping them all out at once either. Especially in favor of just building up the tag team division. The Motor City Machine Guns are possibly the most underrated tag team in wrestling right now but with that being said a tag team is all they could ever hope to be and with the loss that WWE would suffer losing Edge and Regal you want more of an upside.
TNA really comes out great in this. They never knew what to do with the Guns in the first place and now they get Edge one of the biggest heels in wrestling to come to there side of the wrestling world with both Edge and Hardy on there rosters they already have two guys that they can make a boatload of money off of if used properly. They also get William Regal who is one of the greatest mid card workers in the business. Ever hear the phrase "turn Chicken Shit into Chicken Salad"? Well whoever came up with that must have been thinking of Regal because he is pure gold no matter what the role. Make him the commissioner, have him be the anti American guy, give him a group of anti American guys to lead it just doesn't matter he will get it over. 3 Stars
Trade #6 (This trade was done BEFORE Kendrick was released, deal with it!)
ROH Received: Paul Birchill (#53 in WWE) and Brian Kendrick (#48 in WWE)
WWE Received: The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) (both #31 in ROH)
Josh: The Young Bucks are still poorly known to the ROH Crowd and can afford to be traded at this point. Gaining a former ROH mainstay in Brian "Spanky" Kendrick and FWA's biggest star of the early millennium, Paul Burchill is a great trade for a new tag team. 3 Stars
Dave: Allow me to reiterate my selection of The Young Bucks as Tag Team of the half year: This team first caught my attention as Paul London was talking them up leading into his return match to the Indy scene and honestly I thought they were overrated when I watched the match. Then I saw them in person at ROH and thought they were decent but unnecessarily flippy. Next I was watching Chikara's King of Trios tournament on DVD and laughed my butt off when they played Hanson's MmmBop for several minutes before appearing. This past weekend I saw them wrestle for DragonGate USA's debut show and they stole the show bringing the entire arena, myself included, to our feet. The Young Bucks have come into their own, and their future is now.
Jose: This trade makes a lot of sense for everyone. Brian Kendrick is a ROH original with (I'll say it again) some mainstream exposure which helps ROH as they grow on TV at the same time they have a guy who I think can still work the strong style of ROH and is probably settling into his prime as a wrestler. You also get Paul Birchill who is just a solid, solid guy in the ring. This would offset the loss of Claudio Castignolli nicely and ROH fans would warm up to Burchill much in the same way they have Brent Albright in the past.
Its hard to say the potential of the Young Bucks right now but we know that WWE loves the brother tag teams because it means at some point they get to do the brother feud. Still before they get there I think the Bucks could have awesome matches with Styles/Daniels, LAX or MCMG and all of these matches would be fresh. 1 Star
Trade #7
ROH Received: Kurt Angle (#4 in TNA)
TNA Received: Nigel McGuinness (#22 in ROH)
Josh: This is the biggest impact trade so far. Nigel McGuinness, while a tremendous wrestler for ROH, was traded for someone with equal talent with a little more impact in Kurt Angle. TNA gets a genuine main eventer that can really carry them into prominence and ROH gets a main eventer that can create some outstanding matches. It's win/win for both companies. 5 Stars
Chris: Nigel McGuinness would be AWESOME in TNA as some new fresh blood that could wrestle the likes of Regal then be able to jump up to the main event and win the big one from the MEM. As for Angle leaving, His best days are behind him and with all the stuff with Angle/Jarrett/Karen; he would have a negative effect on the company. 3 Stars
Jose: I'm not sure if I like this trade for ROH. While Kurt Angle may be one of the greatest wrestlers in the world his best days are behind him and I really think it works against him to have him wrestle the ROH style. However if ROH accepts that Angle does not have much in the tank and uses him properly he can help get many of there guys over and elevate the company from a fan standpoint on TV.
This might be the best thing for Nigel McGuinness. Many have called him injury prone but I like to think that many of Nigel's injuries are simply from exhausting everything in front of ROH fans. Once he comes to TNA he can slow it down a bit and stay healthier longer. He cuts a great promo and could easily be a main event heel in 6 months. This gives TNA something that they desperately need: A star who has not been in WWE but is competent enough to nurture to become a big money making star later on. I like it. 5 Stars
Trade #8
TNA Received: Zach Ryder (#56 in WWE) and rights to his theme song.
WWE Received: Jay Lethal (#13 in TNA)
Chris: "Oh Radio tell me everything you know" Mister Radio looked awesome on ECW and looked like a threat to Christian, conversing me in the progress that one day he might be a big star and I think he would fit into TNA just fine. As for Jay, The Macho Man gimmick is boring me and I wouldn?t know how to book him. 2.5 Stars
Dave: The hardest part of accepting this trade was giving up the rights to Ryder's theme music. Despite the fact that there is a group of internet fans that are obsessed with Zack Ryder, the bulk of fans haven?t taken to him. Lethal should be able to appeal to the broader audience.
Jose: I think people are underestimating Zack Ryder as he really is starting to come into his own. TNA would do well to capitalize on his new Guido gimmick and push him as the annoying bastard he is.
Finally no Black Machismo!! WWE will utilize Lethal much in the same way that they have utilized wrestlers in the past such as Evan Bourne. As a matter of fact I think I want to be ringside for his and Bourne's first encounter. 2 Stars
Trade #9
ROH Received: Kofi Kingston (#12 in WWE)
WWE Received: Tyler Black (#8 in ROH)
Josh: Kofi is a talented individual that can bring the juniors style matches back to ROH, which is something that ROH was out of control with, then learned to balance nicely, and then deviated away from. Bringing back the juniors styles matches in a harmonious balance with mat wrestling will help. Tyler Black is overrated and ROH was good to get rid of him. Kofi is more talented than Black and actually has a personality. 3 Stars
Dave: This particular trade in retrospect may not have been the best one for the WWE to make. It seems that my road agents had been pulling for Jimmy Jacobs but my secretary confused the messages. Not only is she fired, but I am saddened that we did not acquire the awesome hairstyle sported by Jacobs.
Jose: Kofi Kingston is one of the youngest, brightest and most exciting stars in wrestling right now. If you want a young star with no damage to him and mainstream recognition that can go, go, go then Kofi is your guy. Can you see Kofi vs Low Ki in a five star classic? I sure as hell can.
Tyler Black is very interesting here. On one hand why ROH would want to trade a guy that they invested so much into when they could have kept him on the show and put him against stars like Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe? However WWE can probably do so much more with him I mean look at what they have done with CM Punk. With the right amount of seasoning and comfort on the mic you could be looking at a guy that can main event Wrestlemania one day. 3 Stars
Trade #10
WWE Received: Abyss (#22 in TNA)
TNA Received: The Big Show (#18 in WWE)
Dave: A bit of risk on my part, but we here at the WWE feel that Abyss could be successful with some style overhauls. We are going to recreate a Mankind-esque gimmick and see what he can do in the midcard. ?Character? wrestling has traditionally brought success, a theme we wish to continue.
Chris: How many times can TNA bury Abyss? Abyss in TNA is now a joke. The Big Show is probably the best used big man (bar Mark Henry) and could replace Kevin Nash as the big man in the MEM or could be used to counter him in the frontline. 4 Stars
Jose: People have been clamoring for Abyss to join WWE for years and well here is why? WWE is lacking quality big men such as Abyss and with a little bit of a push you can easily have Abyss vs others who are similar such as Kane and The Undertaker. You also have a guy who is big but moves very well so he can match up with small guys like Shawn Michaels. If WWE takes enough interest in Abyss than I smell money.
The Big Show has just about done it all in his 13 year career. Except won the TNA title what a nice feather in the cap it would be for TNA if they could market the first wrestler to win the WWE,ECW,WCW and TNA world Titles on there show. You have to figure the schedule would be a plus for Show too as he will probably be fresher in TNA than he has in years. 3 Stars
Trade #11
ROH Received: Jamie Noble (#71 in WWE)
WWE Received: Delirious (#5 in ROH)
Josh: Jamie Noble is a hell of a wrestler that hit his stride in ROH and was a former ROH World Champion where Delirious has a character that would fit extremely well into the WWE. Jamie Noble gets rescued from mediocrity and made great use of and Delirious will prosper and be able to introduce his character for new fans. 3 Stars
Dave: Santino Marella is about to have his world rocked. I?m bringing in Delirious to tag with Santino as the combination of the two will be most excellent TV. ROH gets a guy back that has worked well in the company, and we got another ?character? for someone we hardly use anymore anyway.
Jose: ROH is still following there strategy of going with talent that has had exposure in the mainstream but is beloved by there main fanbase by bringing back Noble. Considering what it cost them here I don?t have a problem as Delirious was getting a bit stale in my opinion in ROH anyway. In Jamie Noble they have a wrestler who has already been the ROH champion so he is legit in the eyes of there fans and is the perfect size and build to work with anyone on that roster and help get anyone over.
I have to say even though I just said the gimmick is getting stale in ROH I like Delirious. He is the perfect kind of a gimmick to have in WWE as you can just market everything about him to kids. Can you see all the kids in MSG wearing Delirious masks? I can. 1 Star
Trade #12
ROH Received: Rey Mysterio (#6 in WWE)
WWE Received: Erick Stevens (#20 in ROH), Roderick Strong (#25 in ROH), and Brent Albright (#13 in ROH)
Josh: Rey Misterio is a legend and bringing him to ROH would help with the rebuild of the Juniors style as well as give ROH a new bonafide main eventer to work with. Rey is so versatile that he could have a tremendous match with anyone on the roster. ROH loses three mid carders that they have no idea what to really do with and while two are big men, they will prosper in the WWE and Roderick can get a better character to go along with his vicious chops. 5 Stars
Dave: Stevens and Strong have tag teamed in the past and I plan on putting them back together. Brent Albright is a tank and has potential as a believable midcard jobber. Losing Rey Rey may be a financial hit in the merchandise department, but creative has no more direction for the character.
Jose: Rey Misterio is one of the most innovative wrestlers to come along in the last 20 years but with that being said putting him on the ROH roster is detrimental to not just him but to ROH. I can understand ROH wanting to have another familiar name on the roster to attract viewers who would not otherwise watch but the fact that there are wrestlers on that roster who can do all of Misterio's moves and then some makes Rey look ordinary and plain and well there is nothing special about that. I also think given Rey's history of knee surgeries ROH is the last place he needs to be as that just couldn?t possibly last long.
Anytime you get 3 fresh talents like Stevens, Strong and Albright it has to be considered a great thing. Put any combination of the 3 together as a tag team and you have a solid tag team that can hang with anyone. If you leave them all singles and form a stable you have one of the best units going that can threaten any title in the promotion. A new version of the Radicalz if you will. 4 Stars
And our unofficial trade #13
ROH Received: Kevin Nash (#31 in TNA)
TNA Received: A half-eaten Twinkie and a stick of gum
Josh: This was actually a joke that I didn't really think would go through, but this ended up going in for comical effect. No one should really take this trade seriously. This was for all fun and laughs. 0 Stars
Chris: I just don't like Nash wrestling anymore. .5 Stars
Finally, who do you think got the best end of the deals?
Dave: I really don?t think any company got hosed in this particular draft. Being in charge of the WWE gave me the power seat in the trade room, a position I took full advantage of. Before we sat down I made a list of guys who under no circumstances would I trade. These included Randy Orton, John Cena, Chris Jericho, HHH, Shawn Michaels and CM Punk. Outside of them I was open to trades which would benefit the company.
We here at the WWE have been toying with the idea of turning ?WWE Superstars? into a tag team themed show, so I traded for as many diverse teams as possible. The acquisitions of: LAX, Motor City Machine Guns, Styles & Daniels, The Young Bucks, and Stevens & Strong should provide great entertainment value.
I lost relatively few ?big names? and the couple I did won?t be that beneficial to the companies which acquired them. There is a certain quality about the WWE which allows certain gimmicks and wrestlers to succeed in the company, but not necessarily outside of it. This is a bankable notion we are counting on. Look to a bright future for the WWE!
Chris: TNA got rid of dead weight and was able to refresh all parts of the Company where as WWE rebuilt their tag team division. I think the overall winner was ROH as they gained many big names that would help them grow.
Josh: There were some interesting trades being made here. ROH's goal was to bring back the established stars of the past, that have had television exposure in other companies, and re-introduce them to ROH fans. Having legends like Low-Ki and Samoa Joe would help reach out to WWE and TNA fans as well as satisfy the hardcore ROH fan base. While it cannot be all fan service, ROH acquired Kofi Kingston, Rey Misterio Jr, and Kurt Angle to help build the company in the main event picture. These are well-known athletes that can attract new fans to ROH. TNA acquired a lot of heavy hitters. They received some great main event talent as well as some mid-card talent to help boost their ranks, but they lost alot. Losing most of their tag teams means that they lost a considerable amount of their star power and because of that, I think TNA ended up worse than when they started. Without their X-Division, TNA will die. WWE gained the most out of this as they acquired a LOT of fresh, young talent. Motor City Machine Guns, AJ Styles and Chris Daniels, Kenny Omega, Roderick Strong, Erik Stevens, Brent Albright, The Young Bucks, and more will only re-establish WWE's tag team division and give them so many fresh new match-ups that their programming will take a higher vested interest from many fans. WWE struck a gold vein with this trade and I believe they will end up prospering the most, ROH second, and TNA a very distant third.
Jose: This is a really hard question to answer as it is more loaded than you think. I think in the short term with TNA getting such solid main eventers as Big Show, Jeff Hardy and Edge that they will definitely be a force to reckon with as long as they play it straight. However in the long term WWE has a lot of young talent now from which to work with and if there is anyone that knows how to cultivate and grow young talent it is Vince McMahon. I think ROH became no better or worse overall as they now have some mainstream stars but lost a bit of the spark that they had that got them the fanbase they have in the first place. If I had to pick a winner in this based on what they got and who is left I would say WWE got the better end of these trades.
Well, I honestly thought that his article went real well. So class, here is the ?Ultimate? winner? Is it the way Josh handled ROH? David and the dominant force that is WWE? Or even Chris controlling TNA in the trade deadline. Please let me know by e-mailing me. The e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com. ALL e-mails will be forwarded to the columnists who participated in this column. So, on behalf of David, Chris, Josh, and Jose, I am Mr. V reminding you to please push your chairs in and exit the classroom. Until next time, you are…DISMISSED!
Thank you all so much for reading this much-anticipated column. If we get enough feedback, we may do this again sometime in a few months.

Rock of Ages
10.9.2012 | By Karen Posada | No Comments">No Comments
To describe 'Rock of Ages' I'm going to need to use various synonyms for cheesy, because that was the main thought going through my mind while I watched the film. The music rocks, there's no doubt about that; everything else around it wasn't good enough to classify this as a good musical. I unfortunately haven't seen the Broadway musical this film is based on, but I'm not afraid to guarantee that it's probably better than this film adaptation.
The film is set in 1987 in Los Angeles where a small town girl, Sherrie (Julianne Hough) comes hoping to begin her singing career, shortly after arriving she ends up in the Bourbon Room, a famous rock club where she meets Drew (Diego Boneta). Drew begs the club's owner, Dennis Dupree (Alec Baldwin) to give Sherri a waitressing job, thanks to Lonny (Russell Brand) Dennis' right hand he decides to give the girl a chance. The Bourbon Room is at risk when religious groups led by the Major (Bryan Cranston) and his wife, Patricia Whitmore (Catherine Zeta-Jones) threaten to close it down, specially when rock god Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise) shows up to perform with his group –Arsenal- one last time. With L.A. as a stage this group of people try to lead their lives surrounded by rock n roll from the likes of Def Leppard, Journey, Foreigner, etc.
It looked like most of the actors in this movie were just lip-synching, which whether that's the case or not that made it hard to enjoy it as a musical. My favorite acts though were seeing Boneta on stage as well as Cruise; they rocked the house in and out of the screen. Their acting as well as everyone else's was pretty questionable though. Cruise's character is eccentric and entertaining with his overly macho jockstraps and tattoos, his rockstar act though might be right on, with his short attention span it was hard to follow or understand. I'm not sure if I was annoyed at Hough's character or at herself, neither her voice nor her acting were convincing; sure she's stunning, but that wasn't enough.
I would like to say that our young Mexican actor, Boneta, was fabulous, but except for a couple of good singing skits his acting was like seeing a puppy follow commands. Boneta is one of the main characters, so he had a glorious amount of screen time, despite of that he didn't shine except for his first singing opening number (clip below) as well as his closing number. He definitely has potential to carry over his heartthrob skills from his Rebelde days; there is some chemistry between Hough and him, but it wasn't exploded to the point of making believable their fairytale story.
Baldwin and Brand presented some funny scenes, but their main act is actually offensive. The movie began dragging after the first act, perhaps because of the various montages; I was ready for it to finish around the first hour (It's two hours). The corniness of the film just kept escalating until it reached a level of ridiculous.
I can honestly say I really enjoy musicals and was disappointed by the result of this star-studded film. Even though director Adam Shankman also made 'Hairspray', another Broadway hit musical into a film filled with Hollywood A-listers and was well received he didn't achieve the same with this one. With that said I suggest you save your pennies and go see the musical on Broadway, I'm sure you will be satisfied and entertained then.

Rox Squeak Past Stingers Sunday
The St. Cloud Rox beat the Willmar Stingers 6-5 Sunday night at Bill Taunton Stadium in Willmar. The Rox are now 7-4 on the season.
All-Star reliever Reese Gregory again played a pivotal role for the Rox, holding the Stingers off the scoreboard with runners on the corners and no outs in a one-run game in the bottom of the seventh.
Jason Hoppe earned the win for St. Cloud to improve to 2-3 on the season. The Sauk Rapids native allowed three runs on four hits in five innings.
Brad Strong led the St. Cloud offense with three RBI, including a pair on a triple in the third inning. The Rox finished with ten hits as a team.

When the home stagers left my house after their first visit, I knew I had my work cut out for me. A two-hour room-by-room inspection had resulted in four pages of hand-written instructions and a floor plan for each room.
"Remove mat," began the directions for the front hallway. "Replace art with more popping colour (I guess they didn't like my neutraltoned Inuit print?), remove shoe tray and mirror, thin coats and shoes in closet, put dog leashes away."
There was more, much more, covering every room in my three-bedroom-plus-den home.
But I was ready to take on the challenge because my house was going on the market and I wanted what everyone wants: A good price and a quick sale.
It was my realtor, Joni Campbell, who recommended we stage my Westboro house. She's been offering home staging to her clients for the four years she's been in real estate. "I think it works," she says.
I didn't need much convincing. When I bought the house five years ago, it was charming but cluttered. I was the only one to make an offer and I got it for significantly less than the asking price.
Staging, explains Campbell, exposes what's good in a home. "The focus is on the beautiful floors and beautiful windows."
Meanwhile, there were books to box, (only hardcovers could be on display) and furniture, artwork and photographs to remove. The biggest challenge was clearing the closets. The instructions required us to remove 70 per cent of the contents. This was difficult, but I soon realized it was an opportunity to get organized for the move.
Jo-Anne Weir, the professional property stager who came up with the plan for my house, says many clients come to appreciate the decluttering process. "It's very therapeutic," says Weir, who works with Ottawa's Staged N Sold. "It's living lighter, not so much stuff."
Although you can pay Staged N Sold to do this work for you, about three-quarters of clients opt for the basic plan ($250, plus tax), which includes a two-hour consultation, detailed directions on how to achieve the new look and a one-hour return visit to help with the finishing touches.
Weir's instructions had called for many additional throw cushions for the beds and couches, white towels in the two bathrooms and a neutral rug in the living room.
I could have bought them myself or rented them from Staged N Sold, but I was fortunate that Campbell has her own inventory, which she lends to clients.
I teased Weir that it appeared home staging involved taking down half the artwork, removing one third of the furniture and tripling the number of throw cushions. There is, of course, a theory behind the throw cushion invasion. "They add that pop of colour, so the photos look good," says Weir.
Good photos are crucial, she adds.
Studies have shown that when people look at listing photos it takes no more than 18 seconds for them to decide whether they want to view the home.
I didn't do everything the stagers asked. Weir was tactful when she asked me to repaint my renovated kitchen a more neutral colour, saying that although she loved it, she did not think it was a mainstream taste. I decided I wasn't willing to cover the aqua-toned paint, which was inspired by my home's 1940s' design.
Campbell says it's always up to the seller whether to accept or reject the advice. "Stagers have fantastic ideas. Hopefully we find a place in between."
When the last throw cushion had been fluffed, the effect was quite stunning. There was a big turnout for both open houses and many requests for showings.
However, there were several properties in the neighbourhood in my price range. This would not be a sold-in-three-days scenario. Campbell also heard from some potential buyers that the very small third bedroom was an obstacle. No staging magic could fix that.
And proving that home staging is more art than science, my realtor was also hearing a few complaints about the bistro set in the kitchen eating area. Provided by the stagers, it was so tiny it made potential buyers doubt there was room for a fullsized table. (There is, my table had been stored in the garage with the rest of the excess furniture.)
Campbell was about to ask the stagers to take the set back when an offer came in.
Some negotiations, followed by a glowing house inspection report, and my house was sold. It had been on the market three weeks and sold before any of the rival properties.
- Remove the personal, including family photos, unique pieces of art and evidence of the family pet. This allows buyers to imagine their own personal touches.
- Take down wall mirrors; they're a distraction.
- Remove any furniture that obstructs flow in a room or doesn't allow a potential buyer to see the home's architecture.
- Add bright pops of colour throughout the house. It will make the listing photos look more appealing.
- To give the house a fresh feel, add a touch of greenery to every room (a few hosta leaves in a vase can look surprisingly effective).
- Purge possessions so closets don't look overstuffed (you're going to have to do it to move, anyway).

Preparing the Electrical Components
Every RC car has certain internal electrical components which we will use to interface with the Arduino. The most obvious of these is the large circuit board called the Control Board. This receives the radio signal from the remote and translates it into commands suitable for driving the motors.
The motors
The most important electrical components in an RC car are the motors. There are two motors, one used for driving and one for steering. The motor used for driving is the largest, more powerful motor and is almost always a DC motor with 2 wires.
The steering motor is usually smaller as is does not need to provide enough power to move the entire vehicle. In some vehicles this is another DC motor, however in some more expensive models it is a regular servo motor. The servo motor has the advantage of proportional control which means that we will be able to specify how much the car is to turn. If the steering motor is a DC motor the car can turn only fully one way and fully the other.
Disconnecting the motors
We will need to disconnect the motors from the control board. This can sometimes be done by disconnecting a small plug connector, from the circuit board. Other times you might have to cut the wires.
Your RC car will be powered with some sort of battery system, either rechargeable or perhaps AA or AAA batteries. We are going to divert this power to the Arduino so that we do not have to add a second battery box.
Usually, the power supply is hardwired directly onto the control board, so we will need to divert this power by soldering onto the correct connections. This will give us the added bonus of being able to use the ON/OFF switch to control the flow of power.
Since we want to connect this either to a breadboard or the Arduino, we should use a jumper wire. Cut one end off and strip about 1/8 inch off the end. Solder to the points specified so that the current will flow only when power is applied.
Now, we can divert the power to the Arduino.

3HO has supported the work of the Global Mala Project for the past several years and we invite you to connect with a Global Mala Project in your area to work for peace and interact with other service-oriented yogis.
The Global Mala Yoga for Peace Project serves to unite yoga communities on every continent and from every tradition by gathering together with mantras, kriyas, kirtan, or any yogic practices based on the sacred cycle of 108, forming a mala of collective consciousness and call to action around the Earth. Join in on September 18 - 19, the Fall Equinox, as the yoga world honors and unites with the UN International Peace Day.
Yogis in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, San Francisco, and many other cities worldwide will come together in yoga, live music, and fellowship to create the peace they wish to experience in the world.
"With the rising threat of Global Warming, the illusion of separateness is dissolving around the world," said Shiva Rea, yoga teacher and catalyst for the Global Mala Project. "Yoga is one of the few common denominators for millions of people around the world; together we are creating a circle around the Earth and dedicating our energy to peace."
Yoga centers and individuals can offer a form of their yogic tradition and inspiration:
- 108 Sun Salutations (or variations of 27, 56)
- 108 repetitions of a mantra
- 108 minutes of meditation, kirtan, or movement meditation

NASHVILLE (AP) – Questions about grades being changed at a privately run online school are a good example of why the so-called virtual schools should be run by the government, a state lawmaker said Tuesday.
Democratic Rep. Mike Stewart of Nashville has proposed banning privately run virtual schools. His measure was to be introduced as questions were arising about grade-fixing at the Tennessee Virtual Academy, a privately run school.
In a Dec. 13 email obtained by WTVF-TV, the vice principal of the academy noted high numbers of failing grades in September and October and directed middle school teachers to delete them.
"After ... looking at so many failing grades, we need to make some changes before the holidays," according to the email the television station received from an anonymous source.
Academy officials didn't deny the email. They said they were modifying internal grading procedures, not fixing grades.
"Consistent with our school's unique mastery-based learning model, this modification was designed to help increase student engagement by rewarding students who made an extra effort to master the material and improve their scores," the school said on its website.
"Our decision did not impact the integrity of our grading system and had no relationship to any state tests."
K12 Inc., the nation's largest publicly traded online education company, runs the academy for Union County public schools.
Under a law passed in 2011 by the Republican-controlled General Assembly, the academy began operations in the 2011-2012 school year, enrolling nearly 1,800 K-8 students from across the state. State payments to K12 are a little over $5,000 per pupil.
State officials have been questioning the K12 operation. Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman called its first-year test results "unacceptable."
State figures showed the academy fell into the bottom 11 percent of schools for student gains, as measured under the state's value-added assessment system. The cyber school scored a 1 on the 5-point scale.
"K12 Inc. is attempting to game the system by apparently changing grades of its students to hide its ... failure," said Stewart, who is expected to present his bill at a House Education Subcommittee on Tuesday.
Another measure scheduled to be presented was Gov. Bill Haslam's proposal that would place stricter enrollment requirements on online schools established in Tennessee.
The bill would cap student enrollment at a virtual school at 5,000 students, and initial enrollment would be limited to 1,500, depending on the school's performance.

Alumni Board Leadership To Change in Mayby Tom Runge • January 29, 2013 Share:
Greg Castanias '87, a partner with the Jones Day law firm in Washington, DC, will turn over the gavel to Greg Estell '85 at the end of the May meeting of the board of directors of the National Association of Wabash Men. Castanias has been a model President as an engaged leader and the group's been a board of action during his tenure.
Castanias has reached out to alumni from every part of the Wabash community. This wasn't just a promise made of empty words – they we backed by the board outreach to minority alumni, faculty members, independent students, fraternity members, and students/alumni with differing sexual orientations. The bottom line has been simply that "there's room under the Wabash alumni tent for everyone" as Castanias says. Greg will take on a different role as he replaces Mark Dewart '74 as the board's immediate past president.
Estell, the president of his own firm, the Estell Group based in Central Indiana, brings a varied alumni background. He was one of the founders of a regional group in the Milwaukee area. After the move to Indianapolis, Estell quickly became involved in the College's biggest group of alumni and is serving on the board of the Indianapolis Association of Wabash Men as well. Estell has embraced the board's efforts and sees the next two years as an opportunity to make Wabash stronger and better than ever.
Kip Chase '03 will step up as Vice President and President–elect. Kip, employed by Eli Lilly in Indianapolis, has also been an active alumni leader. Chase, a class agent for his class, served as a Campaign steering committee member for the recently-completed Challenge of Excellence and also as a member of the Presidential Search Committee which identified Gregory Hess as Wabash's 16th President.
The board also signaled it appreciated the contributions of faculty member Greg Redding '88 by selecting Redding for another term as board recorder.
All of the appointments take effect at the completion of the board's May 2013 meeting and each individual will serve a two-year term.

Legend of Argos
In Greek mythology Argos was Odysseus's faithful dog. He waited for his master's return for over 20 years. While most thought Odysseus was dead Argos knew better. He was the first to recognize Odysseus upon his return even though Odysseus was disguised as a beggar. It is said that as soon as Argos recognized his master, he dropped his ears and did his best to wag his tail. Having fulfilled his life of faith by laying eyes upon his master just once more he released a final whimper and then died. (this is in our own words, so you can use the whole thing or in part)
