'''''Jacob Two-Two''''' is a [[Canadian]] animated TV series based on a [[Jacob Two-Two|trilogy of books]] written by [[Mordecai Richler]] that first aired on Canadian children's channel [[YTV (TV channel)|YTV]] and aired on the French Canadian network [[VRAK.TV]] as '''''Jacob Jacob'''''. [[Nelvana]] produced the series' 61 episodes.

==Characters==

'''Jacob'''
The youngest of five children, Jacob got his 'Two-Two' nickname because he said everything twice to be heard amongst his large family when he was smaller. Now a little older, Jacob does not repeat himself as often, but still frequently falls back into this old habit. He inadvertently causes trouble because he always tells the truth. He looks up to his siblings, especially Daniel, (although he finds himself frequently left out of their activities) and wishes he had their experience and wisdom. His naïveté makes him a frequent target of twin siblings Noah and Emma and their fantastic yarns. Voiced and narrated by [[Billy Rosemberg]] best known in the United States as the voice of Max from ''[[Max & Ruby]]''.

'''Morty'''
Loosely based on author and creator Mordecai Richler, Jacob's father is the writer of a series of adventure books about "The Amazing Ronald." He spends his time in his home office working out complex plots for his books, checking the hockey scores for his favourite team the Montreal Marvels, or most often snoozing on the sofa with the newspaper draped over his face. He also loves jokes and making gentle fun of his children. Voiced by [[Harvey Atkin]].

'''Florence'''
Jacob's mother is an expert juggler of tasks, happiest when operating at full throttle. Besides keeping her family on the go and organized, she also holds down a full-time job. As busy as she is, Florence always manages to look very chic and 'pulled together', and breezes through each day with effortless grace. Voiced by [[Janet-Laine Green]].

'''Daniel'''
The eldest at 16, Daniel is an aloof and hopelessly cynical teen. Permanently garbed in black, he is fully conversant in all the newest bands and music crazes. Daniel does not have much time for Jacob, but occasionally offers his kid brother a unique 'teen view' of the world. He was first voiced by Jeff Berg and later voiced by [[Rob Tinkler]].

'''Marfa'''
Jacob's elder sister. Marfa is suffering through the toughest teen years and frequently takes it out on everyone around her. Preoccupied with her own concerns, Marfa has even less time for Jacob than Daniel. Convinced that Jacob ruins everything he touches, she does not like him going anywhere near her stuff. To Jacob, she occupies a mysterious world that he does not understand at all. Voiced by Jocelyn Barth.

'''Noah and Emma'''
Jacob's elder twin brother and sister. Energetic, athletic, full of daring and theatrical bravado. They have their own secret club, Kid Power, and spend long hours in their clubhouse in the yard fighting imaginary battles as their alter egos the intrepid Shapiro and the fearless O'Toole. They will not allow Jacob into their 'clubhouse', which makes him long to get in there all the more. He often does their bidding in the hope that maybe this time they will let him inside. Noah is voiced by [[Marc McMulkin]]. Emma is voiced by Kaitlin Howell.

'''Buford Orville Gaylord Pugh'''
An odd little kid with a string of unfortunate names. His lack of anxiety and worries are not due to a lack of intelligence but to difficulty focusing. He is prone to recounting pointless, meandering shaggy dog stories. Buford and Jacob are both new kids at school. He is a good friend to Jacob. Voiced by Kristopher Clark.

'''X. Barnaby Dinglebat'''
A mild mannered meter reader for the Montreal Gas Company on the surface, Dinglebat lets Jacob in on his secret profession: he is really an international spy. He is the only adult Jacob knows who always has time for him and treats him as an equal. Barnaby opens up a whole new world of adventure and possibility to his next door neighbour. Voiced by James Rankin.

'''Renée Ratelle'''
Though Renée and Jacob initially find themselves at odds with each other when they meet as classmates, Renée later joins forces with Jacob and Buford to solve a mystery. Since Renée is a hothead who does not always look before she leaps, it becomes Jacob's role to temper her enthusiasm. She is voiced by [[Julie Lemieux]].

'''Principle I.M. Greedyguts'''
Jacob's school principal is a very obese and incorrigible glutton. Greedyguts also suffers from an enduring dislike of children, which causes him to be rather severe with his pupils. Though he is extremely fond of eating, his greed also extends to material possessions. He's voiced by [[Dwayne Hill]].

'''Leo Louse'''
Leo works as the janitor at the school. When Greedyguts needs dirty work done, or a mess swept under the carpet, Leo is the man for the job. A weaselly man, a miser and mooch, Leo will swipe whatever isn't nailed down. Morty is mysteriously fond of Leo, much to the children's disgust, and whenever Leo drops by he'll fill his pockets with Florence's sandwiches. He is voiced by Howard Jerome.

'''Ms. Sour Pickle'''
Jacob's geography teacher Miss Sour Pickle has a permanent scowl plastered on her face, like she smells something bad. She glories in catching her students not paying attention or talking in class, then giving them snap quizzes on the obscure capitals of equally obscure countries. The only thing Sour Pickle loves to do more than torment Jacob is cheer for her favourite team, the marvelous Montreal Marvels. It's her biggest secret that she simply adores hockey. She is voiced by [[Fiona Reid]].

'''Gary a.k.a. The Hooded Fang'''
The professional wrestler with the terrifying mask and bad guy image. His true nature, as Jacob discovers one day, is sweet and gentle. He only acts like a barbarian because it's written in his contract. He's really a big kid at heart, and becomes a great secret pal of Jacob's, occasionally helping out when a mission requires someone really really big. Voiced by [[Bret "The Hitman" Hart]].

'''Wilson, Quiggley and Duschane'''
Three bullies that always pick on Jacob and his friends. Wilson is the shortest one and the de facto leader, and mostly the brains who is always seen with a sour apple lollipop in his mouth. Quiggley is the kid with his hair covering his eyes. Duschane is the boy with braces and is the tallest. They often call Jacob "Jacob Boo-Hoo" or "Jacob Two-Four". They sometimes serve as allies to Jacob, but other times serves as antagonists.

'''Miss Darling Sweetiepie'''
A nice kind old lady who is Jacob's neighbor. Despite her elderly appearance, she is actually a secret agent.

'''Nurse Bunyan'''
The school nurse who has a crush on Leo Louse.

'''Miss Bountiful'''
The school's lunchlady who is kind and sweet and serves the kids a healthy and delicious lunch.

'''Auntie Goodforyou'''
Jacob's aunt who serves nutrious but disgusting food.

'''Zadie Saul'''
Jacob's paternal grandfather who comes around when Morty is preparing bagels.

'''Ann'''
An android (hence her name) from [[Japan]] designed to be the perfect student. Voiced by [[Tajja Isen]].

'''Brainy'''
An intelligent student who is a fan of the comics Jacob loves.

'''Lloyd'''
An overweight arrogant student who is a fan of the comics Jacob loves.

'''Melinda'''
A mathematics genius who helped Jacob in the Scholars for Dollars training. She has an older sister named Phoebe who Daniel has a crush on.

'''Miss Louse'''
Leo's miser mother who regrets her own son.

'''YB Greedyguts'''
Principal Greedyguts' twin brother who is crueler than him.

'''Carl Fester King'''
A pompous con man dressed in king garb and accountant style desiring money.

'''Fish & Fowl'''
Criminal duo that commits crime to get quick money. Fish's appearance is based on a fish and Fowl's appearance is based on a bird.

'''Agent Intrepid'''
A hamster secret agent.

'''Lewis & Clark College''' is a [[private university|private college]] located in [[Portland, Oregon]]. It has an undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences, a School of Law, and a Graduate School of Education and Counseling. Lewis & Clark is a member of the [[Annapolis Group]] of colleges with athletic programs competing in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]]'s [[Division III (NCAA)|Division III]] [[Northwest Conference]]. Just over 2,000 students attend the undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences,<ref>[http://www.lclark.edu/college/offices/admissions/facts_and_figures Admissions: Facts & Figures] Lewis & Clark official website</ref> with a student body from more than 50 countries across six continents as well as most U.S. states.<ref>[http://www.lclark.edu/offices/international/admissions/ International Students and Scholars: Admissions] Lewis & Clark official website</ref> The School of Law is best known for its [[environmental law]] program,<ref>[http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/environmental-law-rankings Best Law Schools: Environmental Law] Best Environmental Law Schools - U.S. News & World Report</ref> while the Graduate School of Education & Counseling is active in community engagement and social justice.

Originally chartered as the '''Albany Collegiate Institute''' in 1867 in the town of [[Albany, Oregon|Albany]], the school moved to the Portland campus in 1938 and in 1942 adopted the name Lewis & Clark College after the [[Lewis and Clark Expedition]]. Today, the three schools and their supporting offices occupy a campus of 137 acres (554,000 m²), centered on the [[M. Lloyd Frank Estate]] on Palatine Hill in the [[Collins View, Portland, Oregon|Collins View]] neighborhood of Southwest Portland.

==History==
[[File:Albany College Administration Building.png|thumb|left|Albany College Administration Building.]]

Like many modern universities, the institution that would eventually become Lewis & Clark was initially intended to provide secondary as well as higher education for a specific religious community, in this case [[Presbyterian]] pioneers in Oregon's [[Willamette Valley]]. To this end the Presbyterian church incorporated Albany Academy in 1858,<ref name=Oregon>Corning, Howard M. ''Dictionary of Oregon History''. Binfords & Mort Publishing, 1956.</ref> making Lewis & Clark one of four Oregon colleges with foundations predating Oregon's statehood (along with [[Willamette University]], [[Pacific University]], and [[Linfield College]]). Within a decade of its founding, Albany Academy began to focus more exclusively on higher education, changing its official name to the Albany Collegiate Institution in 1866. Lewis & Clark's official founding date comes from the current charter, which has been legally valid since the Presbyterian church reincorporated the Albany Collegiate Institution as Albany College in 1867.<ref name=Oregon/> Unlike most Oregon colleges of the pioneer-era, the college has been coeducational since the first class, which graduated in 1873. The early campus of {{convert|7|acre|m2}} in Albany was situated on land donated by the Monteith family. In 1892, the original school building was enlarged, and in 1925 the school relocated south of Albany where it remained until 1937.<ref name=Oregon/>

Albany College established a junior college to the north in Portland in 1934, with the entire school moving to Portland in 1939.<ref name=Oregon/> The campus grounds later became home to the federal government's [[Albany Research Center]].<ref>{{cite book

==Academics==

The three schools of the college include the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), the [[Lewis & Clark Law School|Law School]], and the Graduate School of Education and Counseling.

CAS departments include Art, East Asian Studies, English, Foreign Languages and Literatures (French, Chinese, German, Greek, Spanish, Latin, Russian, and Japanese), History, Music, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Theatre, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Environmental Studies, Physics, Communication, Economics, Classical Studies, Gender Studies, International Affairs, Latin American Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology, and Academic English Studies.

Lewis & Clark has nationally regarded programs in Biology, International Affairs, Psychology, Foreign Languages and Environmental Studies.{{citation needed|date=March 2013}} The college has held two worldwide symphonic festivals in the past five years with professional-level performances in Dublin and the Greek islands.

Lewis & Clark is also known for its active and diverse overseas study program. The college offers approximately 36 programs in various countries, and since the 1960s, more than 60% of all Lewis & Clark undergraduates have studied abroad.<ref>[http://college.lclark.edu/programs/overseas_and_off-campus/about/history/]</ref> For a small liberal arts college, Lewis & Clark's overseas offerings are impressive in both breadth and scope; there are, for example seven discrete programs in Spanish-speaking countries. Lewis & Clark is also one of the few U.S. institutions with an overseas program in [[Cuba]]. This international component is integrated into the college's academics, especially in departments such as International Affairs and Foreign Languages, and is also part of Lewis & Clark College's identity and reputation as an international institution.

===Residence halls===
[[File:Stewart - Lewis & Clark College.jpg|thumb|Stewart Residence Hall.]]
All students are required to live on campus for the first two years, unless already a Portland resident.<ref>[http://www.lclark.edu/dept/reslife/gen_info.html Housing Information] Lewis & Clark College</ref> Residence halls include SOA (Stewart-Odell-Akin), Forest (Alder, Manzanita, Juniper, Spruce, and Ponderosa), Hartzfeld, Holmes, Platt-Howard, Copeland and also include East, Roberts, and West, the on-campus apartments.

Several of the student residence halls have themes. Stewart is "Substance Free/Wellness", providing a home for those who wish to live in a drug and alcohol-free environment. Akin is known as the "Multicultural Dorm", hosting a majority of students from outside of the United States as well as some U.S. students with international experience. Platt-Howard: Platt West houses the Platteau student-run arts center, and the "Visual and Performing Arts" (or VAPA) and Howard has an "Outdoor Floor". Spruce, in the Forest complex, offers all-female housing. Juniper, also in Forest, is the "Pioneers in Environmental Action and Service" (PEAS) Floor, more generally known as the "green" floor. Hartzfeld requires sophomore standing or higher to live in. East Hall, Roberts Hall and West Hall are a series of on-campus apartments completed in 2003 and require junior class standing or higher to live in. Many of the apartments have language themes, with residents grouped into a single apartment based on a language, including [[French language|French]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[German language|German]], [[Russian language|Russian]], [[Chinese language|Chinese]], and [[Japanese language|Japanese]].

Lewis & Clark College residence halls are co-ed. While individual rooms generally house one gender, students may opt otherwise under the college's [[gender-neutral housing]] policy.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lclark.edu/live/files/10721-gender-neutral-agreement |publisher=Lewis & Clark College |title=Gender-Neutral Housing Agreement |deadurl=no |accessdate=12 August 2012}}</ref>

}}
"'''Man of Constant Sorrow'''" (also known as "'''I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow'''") is a traditional American [[folk music|folk]] song first recorded by [[Dick Burnett (musician)|Dick Burnett]], a partially blind [[fiddler]] from [[Kentucky]]. The song was originally recorded by Burnett as "Farewell Song" printed in a Richard Burnett songbook, about 1913. An early version was recorded by [[Emry Arthur]] in 1928 (Vocalion Vo 5208).

Public interest in the song was renewed after the release of the 2000 film ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'', where it plays a central role in the plot. The song, with lead vocal by [[Dan Tyminski]], was also included in the film's highly successful, multiple-platinum-selling [[O Brother, Where Art Thou? (soundtrack)|soundtrack]].

Some uncertainty exists as to whether Dick Burnett himself wrote the song. One claim is that it was sung by the Mackin clan in 1888 in Ireland and that Cameron O'Mackin emigrated to Tennessee, brought the song with him, and performed it. In an interview he gave toward the end of his life, Burnett himself indicated he could not remember:

Charles Wolfe: "What about this "Farewell Song" – 'I am a man of constant sorrow' – did you write it?" 
Richard Burnett: "No, I think I got the ballad from somebody – I dunno. It may be my song..."<ref>"Man of Constant Sorrow – Richard Burnett's Story," ''Old Time Music'', No. 10 (Autumn 1973), p. 8.</ref>

If Burnett wrote the song, the date of its composition, or at least of the editing of certain lyrics by Burnett, can be fixed at about 1913. Since it is known that Burnett was born in 1883, married in 1905, and blinded in 1907, the dating of two of these texts can be made on the basis of internal evidence. The second stanza of "Farewell Song" mentions that the singer has been blind six years, which put the date at 1913. According to the ''Country Music Annual'', Burnett "probably tailored a pre-existing song to fit his blindness" and may have adapted a hymn. Charles Wolfe argues, "Burnett probably based his melody on an old [[Baptist]] [[hymn]] called "Wandering Boy".<ref>Charles K Wolfe, James E Akenson, Country Music Annual 2002, p.28</ref>

During 1918, [[Cecil Sharp]] collected the song and published it as "In Old Virginny" (Sharp II, 233).

[[Sarah Ogan Gunning]]'s rewriting of the traditional "Man" into a more personal "Girl" took place about 1936 in New York, where her first husband, Andrew Ogan, was fatally ill. The text was descriptive of loneliness away from home and anticipated her bereavement; the melody she remembered from a 78-rpm [[hillbilly]] record (Emry Arthur, probably Vocalion Vo 5208, 1928) she had heard some years before in the mountains.

I guess if it hadn't been for that it'd have been gone forever. I'm proud to be the one that brought that song back, because I think it's wonderful."}}

'''Tyrod Taylor''' (born August 3, 1989) is an [[American football]] [[quarterback]] for the [[Baltimore Ravens]] of the [[National Football League]] (NFL). He was the starting [[quarterback]] for the [[Virginia Tech Hokies football]] team from the start of the [[2008 NCAA Division I FBS football season|2008 college football season]] until the [[2011 Orange Bowl]], the final game of the [[2010 NCAA Division I FBS football season|2010 college football season]] for Virginia Tech.

==High school career==
At [[Hampton High School (Hampton, Virginia)|Hampton High School]], Taylor led the team as quarterback, while also becoming the team's kick returner and safety. During his three years as starter, he led the team to a 34-4 record. He accumulated 7,690 yards of offense and scored 100 total touchdowns. He passed for 5,144 yards and 44 touchdowns, while rushing for 2,546 yards and 56 scores.<ref>http://www.hokiesports.com/football/players/2008/taylor/t.html</ref>

When Tyrod graduated from Hampton in 2007, he was rated as the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback at Rivals.com. [[ESPN.com]] rated him the No. 3 overall quarterback, while Scout.com said he's the nation's seventh-best passer.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://msnbc2.rivals.com/content.asp?SID=1184&CID=692547|title=Past or Present Best Tidewater QB|publisher=MSNBC|date=2007-07-18|accessdate=2007-09-11}}</ref> Taylor, who is 6'-1" and 200 pounds, ran a 4.55-second 40 yard dash.

Taylor narrowed his final two choices down to [[Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University|Virginia Tech]] and the [[University of Florida]], and eventually chose to attend Virginia Tech.

==College career==
===Freshman year===
{{main|2007 Virginia Tech Hokies football team}}

During Taylor's freshman year, he shared time for most of the season with the junior quarterback [[Sean Glennon]].

His first action of college football came in the game against the [[LSU Tigers football|LSU Tigers]] on September 8, 2007. In that game, Taylor completed 7 of 18 passes for 62 yards, rushed for 44 yards on nine attempts including his first collegiate touchdown.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=236838|title=Tyrod Taylor 2007 Stats|publisher=ESPN.com|date=2007-09-09|accessdate=2007-09-11}}</ref> After that game, Tyrod was named the starter by head coach [[Frank Beamer]]. In his first collegiate start against [[Ohio University]], Tyrod threw for 287 yards, adding a rushing touchdown.<ref name="Tyrodstarting">{{cite web|url=http://www.hokiesports.com/football/recaps/20070910aaa.html|title=Beamer announces quarterback change|date=2007-09-10|accessdate=2007-09-10|publisher=hokiesports.com}}</ref>

One of Taylor's early accolades was rushing for 92 yards and a touchdown as well as passing for 204 yards and 2 touchdowns in leading Virginia Tech to its first victory against Florida State in two decades. The win was the first ever for Frank Beamer against FSU coach [[Bobby Bowden]].

On October 13, in the second quarter of a game against [[Duke University]], Taylor suffered a high ankle sprain which forced him to miss two games. Taylor returned in a game at [[Georgia Tech]], but did not start for the rest of the season and rotated time with starter Sean Glennon.

Throughout the season, he accumulated 1,356 total yards, including 927 passing and 429 rushing. He completed 72 of 134 passing attempts, for a completion percentage of 53.7. He scored 11 touchdowns during the year, five passing and six rushing.

===Sophomore year===
{{main|2008 Virginia Tech Hokies football team}}

Coming into the [[2008 Virginia Tech Hokies football team|2008 Season]], Taylor was intended to be redshirted. After Virginia Tech's loss to [[East Carolina University]] though, his redshirt was taken off due to Tech's need for more offense. Taylor's first appearance of the season came in the second game of the season against Furman, where he rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown. His first sophomore start came in the following week vs. Georgia Tech.

After starting every game of the 2008 season leading up to the Florida State game on October 25, Tyrod suffered a high ankle sprain on the first play of the VT-FSU game. Sean Glennon relieved Taylor at the quarterback position after this setback. While Glennon got the start versus Miami, Taylor split time with Glennon and lead a crucial fourth quarter to make it a two point game 16-14. However, he was sacked in a crucial 4th and 3 with less than two minutes to go. After the loss, Taylor started against Duke. After committing 5 turnovers in the first half, he was pulled from the game and replaced by Sean Glennon. Taylor then started next week at UVA. He performed well including a 73 yard run. He threw 12 for 18 for 137 yards 1 touchdown while rushing 16 times for 137 yards. He then started in the [[2008 ACC Championship Game|ACC Championship Game]] win over [[Boston College]] and was named the ACC Championship Game MVP. On January 1, 2009 he led the Hokies to a 20-7 victory over the [[2008 Cincinnati Bearcats football team|Cincinnati Bearcats]] in the [[2009 Orange Bowl]].

===Junior year===
{{main|2009 Virginia Tech Hokies football team}}

During his Junior season, Taylor lead the Hokies to a 9-3 regular season record and a 2nd place finish in the Coastal Division of the ACC. The Hokies played the Tennessee Volunteers in the [[2009 Chick-fil-A Bowl]] and won 37-14, finishing with a final record of 10-3. After climbing as high as 4th in the rankings, Tech lost back to back games against Georgia Tech and North Carolina, but finished the season ranked 10th in both the AP and USA Today Top 25 polls. Taylor holds a 23-5 career record at [[Virginia Tech]], which is the second most wins of all time for a starting quarterback at Virginia Tech.

===Senior year===

{{main|2010 Virginia Tech Hokies football team}}

Taylor's senior season began with two heartbreaking losses to [[2010 Boise State Broncos football team|Boise State]] at [[FedExField]] and at home to [[Division I (NCAA)|Division I-FCS]] [[2010 James Madison Dukes football team|James Madison]]. Taylor was 15-of-22 for 186 yards and two touchdowns, along with 73 yards on the ground, against Boise State, but was unable to respond following a Broncos score with 1:03 remaining.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=302490259 |title=Boise State Broncos vs. Virginia Tech Hokies Box Score |publisher=ESPN.com |accessdate=2010-09-06}}</ref> However, Taylor ultimately lead the Hokies to a remarkable turnaround season, winning 11 in a row after the 0-2 start. The 2010 Hokies became the first ACC team to finish with an undefeated 8-0 record in ACC play in 10 years. They became ACC Champions for the 4th time in 7 seasons in the ACC with a 44-33 win over Florida State in the 2010 ACC Championship Game in Charlotte.

Taylor was drafted in Round 6 with the 180th pick in the [[2011 NFL Draft]] by the [[Baltimore Ravens]], The Ravens planned to play him at quarterback in spite of the fact most of the 32 teams believed he would play receiver instead. He orchestrated the game winning touchdown drive in preseason week 3. He hit [[Brandon Jones (wide receiver)|Brandon Jones]] for a 9 yard touchdown pass with 37 seconds remaining. He served as the backup quarterback behind [[Joe Flacco]].

From [[Atlanta Falcons|Atlanta]], in his 1st career start (exhibition preseason week 4), Tyrod Taylor left the Ravens’ exhibition finale with a shoulder bruise Thursday night, potentially putting a crimp in the team's quarterback plans. Early tests revealed no separation and the rookie's injury was characterized as a contusion.<ref>[http://www.csnbaltimore.com/sportsnetBaltimore/search/v/45713815/tyrod-taylor-and-john-harbaugh-on-taylor-s-shoulder-injury-not-being-serious-9-2.htm VIDEO: Tyrod Taylor and John Harbaugh on Taylor's shoulder injury not being serious-9/2] ''CSN Baltimore'' Retrieved 31 October 2012.</ref>

Taylor had his first regular season playing time on December 4, 2011 in a victory against the [[Cleveland Browns]]. He had one rush for a two yard gain.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=311204005 |title=Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns Box Score |publisher=ESPN.com |accessdate=2011-12-13}}</ref> He would appear as well on December 18 and throw his first ever regular season pass, a completion for 18 yards. He also lined up as a [[wide receiver]] for one play against the [[Indianapolis Colts]].

On December 30, 2012 in Week 17 of the 2012 NFL season against the [[Cincinnati Bengals]], Flacco was rested for most of the game, offering Taylor decent playing time. During the 4th quarter of that game, Taylor would score his 1st career touchdown on a 1 yard QB bootleg. However, Taylor also threw a crucial interception to [[Carlos Dunlap]] that would be returned for a touchdown. The Ravens would lose the game against the Bengals 23-17.<ref>{{cite web|last=Wilson|first=Aaron|title=Tyrod Taylor makes most of extended playing time|url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-tyrod-taylor-into-the-game-early-as-ravens-give-joe-flacco-a-quick-day-20121230,0,3288244.story|accessdate=30 December 2012}}</ref> Taylor got his first championship title as the Ravens won [[Super Bowl XLVII]] over the 49ers.

Taylor had an decent preseason in 2013 when he completed 21 of 36 passes for 263 yards and 4 touchdowns with 2 interceptions. He also showed his versatility as a runner using designed runs and scrambles while rushing for 66 yards on 15 carries. His strong preseason performance allowed him to keep his job as the Ravens backup quarterback for the 3rd straight season.

Taylor didn't see any action in 2013 until a Week 10 win against the Cincinnati Bengals. He ran on an end around handoff from Flacco that was good for a gain of 18 yards, which was the longest run by any Ravens player in that game. In Week 12 against the New York Jets, Taylor played 12 total snaps, 5 at quarterback. He gained 7 yards on 4 carries though he did have a 17 yard first down run in the first quarter. His total yardage was brought down by two second half runs where he lost 13 yards. He also had 1 reception for 6 yards. Tyrod came in for [[Joe Flacco]] during a blowout loss to the [[New England Patriots]]. On his very first snap, [[Gino Gradkowski]] snapped it too far to the right, and was recovered by New England for a touchdown. He finished completing 1 of 4 passes for 2 yards and an interception returned for a touchdown.

'''''Hot Tub Time Machine 2''''' is a 2015 American [[Science fiction film|science fiction]] [[comedy film]] directed by [[Steve Pink]] and written by Josh Heald. The film stars [[Rob Corddry]], [[Craig Robinson (actor)|Craig Robinson]], [[Clark Duke]], [[Adam Scott (actor)|Adam Scott]], [[Chevy Chase]], and [[Gillian Jacobs]]. It is the sequel to the 2010 film ''[[Hot Tub Time Machine]]''. The film was released on February 20, 2015. [[John Cusack]], who played Adam Yates and produced the first film, does not return. The film was a critical and commercial failure receiving negative reviews and grossing three-times less than the first film during it's opening weekend.

==Plot==
{{plot|date=February 2015}}
The film begins with an episode of "American Success Story" documenting the lives of the main characters since the last movie. Lou Dorchen has become a mogul with his Lougle empire and his side band Motley Lou. Nick Webber has become a popular musician mainly because he's made hit songs from the present before the actual artists could make it themselves. Lou's son Jacob hates his dad and doesn't really want to be associated with him. Nick also mentions their buddy Adam Yates, who wrote a bestselling book and is currently going on a trip of self-discovery. Nick is seen recording a music video for the song "Stay", which he ripped off of Lisa Loeb and incorporated his own lyrics. The real Lisa Loeb works as his cat wrangler and mentions that the song feels personal to her. Nick quietly apologizes for stealing the song.

Lou joins his employees in the board room with his employees, all of whom are sick of his man-child schtick. One of the employees, Brad, points out that the company is going down hard, but Lou doesn't care. He brags about going making his success through time travel, while Brad retreats to the lab to find a way to save the company. Lou hosts a big party that night in his mansion. He makes Jacob act as a butler. Jacob spots the pretty coat-check girl, Sophie, and tries to talk to her, yet she thinks he really is just a butler. At the bar, Nick and Lou are approached by an old schoolmate, Gary Winkle, who is a total loser. He tries to convince Lou to buy a piece of land from him, which Lou declines. Nick also upsets his wife Courtney since she wanted to go to her sister's home, but Nick always makes her go wherever he wants.

Moments later, Lou goes up the stairs and makes a big speech where he tells everyone to do things for themselves and to forget everyone else, to everyone's dismay, including Lou's wife Kelly. The lights go out, and a gunshot is heard. Somebody has shot Lou in the penis. He tumbles down the stairs bleeding profusely. Nick and Jacob grab him and pull him up the stairs. Jacob pulls a switch shaped like a squirrel, taking the guys to the deck outside to reveal the hot tub time machine. Jacob grabs a vial of nitrotrinadium and puts it in the hot tub, setting it to send them back to stop Lou's killer. Jacob also happens to spot Adam's trenchcoat lying by the tub. They also get blackout drunk to set the mood properly.

When the guys wake up, Nick and Jacob find Lou unconscious. They think he's dead, until he farts and yells that his penis is still in place. They enter the home to find it looking a lot more lavish and clean. They look up and see a portrait of Jacob, older and more bald. Sophie enters the room topless and kisses Jacob. The guys deduce this is now Jacob's place, and that they've jumped ten years into the future. They look in the mirror and see their older selves. They run back to the hot tub, only to find that there is no more nitro left. The hot tub repairman (Chevy Chase) then shows up out of nowhere to explain that they are stuck there without nitro. Jacob then figures out that they must be in an alternate timeline, and that Lou's killer must be from the future.

The guys walk the streets to see that not a lot has changed in the future (besides the dog behind them riding a hoverboard). They sit down and briefly mention how Adam would be there to solve the problem. Jacob brings up seeing Adam's coat at the party, leading Lou to think that Adam tried to kill him. The three go to Adam's home to find another man living there. His name is Adam Yates-Steadmeyer, the son of Adam and his old girlfriend Jenny. Adam Jr. is excited to see Nick and Jacob, but he has no idea who Lou is. The guys explain their relation to him and their situation. They meet Adam Jr.'s fiance Jill. She and Adam Jr. are both fans of Nick and his "Webber Strut" (something Nick came up with to apologize for ripping off other artists) and she offhandedly mentions to Nick that he's fallen on hard times, something he isn't aware of. The guys, joined by Adam Jr., continue their mission, when Adam Jr. summons a smart car that runs on emotions. Lou behaves rudely around it, causing the smart car to secretly plot to kill Lou.

Lou spots a building with Gary's face on it, making him think he tried to kill him and steal his success. He runs in the building and tackles Gary, but Gary explains that Lou not buying the land from him actually helped him turn a profit. He invites the guys to his nightclub, where he tells Nick he's sorry to hear about him and Courtney, something else that Nick isn't aware of. Lou does cocaine while Adam Jr. requests the strongest thing in the place. Gary gives him a new drug called "the electric ladybug". He has the shot girl stick it on Adam Jr.'s neck, and he advises him not to take it off for 24 hours. Adam Jr. then experiences an intense high throughout the night. At one point he calls Jill and tells her he's a god.

The guys are picked up the next day to go to a popular game show, Choozy Doozy, with Nick as the special guest. Adam Jr. calls Jill again and states that the experience from the previous night led him to realize that most of what he's said and done through his life is a lie, to her shock. The host tells the audience to pick something for Nick to do. After three other choices, Lou yells "FUCK A DUDE!" Naturally, that's what the audience chooses, but since Lou "choosed" it, he must "dooze" it. He and Nick are put in a virtual reality simulator where they are forced to have sex or get shocked by 10,000 volts of electricity. Lou chooses a lifeline and makes Adam Jr. take his place, something that Jill watches on TV.

Following this experience, Jacob tells Lou that he's a virus that only causes misery everywhere he goes. He leaves to go back to Gary's club. Lou then takes off the ladybug from Adam Jr.'s neck, causing him to have a seizure. They take him to the hospital where Kelly is now a nurse, and she divorced Lou after getting clean. She gives Adam Jr. some nanobots to fight the narcotics, but they don't work with the ladybug and instead make his balls inflate. Kelly gets a needle and sticks it there to remove the fluid, squirting some all over Nick and Lou's faces.

Back at the nightclub, Jacob orders every drug and drink he can get his hands on. Sophie comes in, disgusted with Jacob's antics, saying he's just like his father, a realization that hits Jacob hard. The guys return to find him, when Gary says Jacob "went to see the family therapist." Lou knows what this means, and he finds Jacob on the roof of his home. Lou goes up to talk him down and admits that the men in their family are screw-ups, but there's still hope for Jacob. They hug for the first time. Jacob accidentally slips off the roof, and Lou tries to save him. Their hands slip, but Jacob is saved by a suicide prevention system that he apparently invented.

The guys see a news report on Brad, who has invented the nitro in the future. Adam Jr. realizes Brad will be at his wedding, which is that day. The guys rush to the chapel to find Brad while Adam Jr. goes on to get married. Jill is too mad at him from what he's said and done on TV. She gets wasted and spots Lou. The two of them have sex, which Adam Jr. unfortunately walks in on. Meanwhile, Jacob finds Brad and deduces that he's not the killer since he went on to find his own success away from Lou, and thus had no need to kill him. This doesn't stop Lou from punching Brad. The guys then learn that Adam Jr. stole the nitro and went back to the past, meaning he is the killer, and it's Lou's own fault that he gets shot for having sex with Jill.

The guys run outside to find the smart car attempting to kill Lou. He sincerely apologizes to it, and it takes the guys to the mansion. However, Adam Jr. already went back in time, taking the nitro with him. As the guys sit in hopelessness, Jacob realizes that with the nitro in the past, it must now be in the future. He opens the chamber to find many nitro vials. He puts one into the hot tub and gets them back to 2015. The guys walk in on the party the moment that Lou is going to give his speech. Lou is slightly more sincere this time around, but he and the guys spot Adam Jr. pick up a shotgun and attempt to shoot Lou in the penis, as he did before. Lou talks him down and apologizes for what he's done, saying he'll blast himself. Adam Jr. is sorry and he pulls the gun away from Lou, accidentally shooting a portrait of Lou having sex with a tiger.

Following this, Nick apologizes to Courtney and says he just wants to spend time with her. Lou tells Kelly he wants to get clean, and asks her to join him for a 12-step program, which she agrees to. Adam Jr. meets Jill for the first time in the past. Jacob approaches Sophie and convinces her to join him in a relationship, promising her it will be a crazy experience that will be worth it. She smiles and they kiss. The guys go outside to the hot tub once again. As Lou reflects on the adventure, a whirlpool rises behind him, and his head gets blasted off. Emerging from the whirlpool is Patriot Lou (a version of Lou from the 1700s era). He tells the other three that the Lou he killed was terrible and needed to die. He invites the group to join him in "making America happen." Against their better judgment, Nick, Jacob, and Adam Jr. follow Patriot Lou for another dip in the hot tub time machine.

During the credits, the guys are seen exploiting the time machine to change history. Adam Jr. saves Lincoln from getting assassinated and even becomes the first man to land on the moon (which he says is just a sound studio in New Mexico). Jacob has sex with Marilyn Monroe. The guys discuss time travel with Einstein. They even end up becoming The Beatles, which upsets Lou since he turned out to be Ringo.

'''Annie J. Easley''' (April 23, 1933 – June 25, 2011) was an [[African-American]] computer scientist, mathematician, and rocket scientist.<ref name=AJEObit>{{cite news |author= |date=28 June 2011 |title=Annie Jean Easley Obituary |url=http://obits.cleveland.com/obituaries/cleveland/obituary.aspx?n=annie-jean-easley&pid=152269470 |newspaper=The Plain Dealer |location=ClevelandOhio |publisher= |publication-date=28 June 2011 |agency= |page= }}</ref> She worked for the [[Lewis Research Center]] of the [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] (NASA) and its predecessor, the [[National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics]] (NACA). She was a leading member of the team which developed software for the [[Centaur (rocket stage)|Centaur]] rocket stage and one of the first African-Americans in her field.

==Early life and education==
Annie Jane Easley was born to Bud McCrory and Willie Sims in [[Birmingham, Alabama|Birmingham]], [[Alabama]].<ref name=AJEObit/> In the days before the [[American Civil Rights Movement (1955-1968)|Civil Rights Movement]], educational and career opportunities for African American children were very limited. African American children were educated separately from white children and their schools were most often inferior to white schools. Annie was fortunate in that her mother told her that she could be anything she wanted but she would have to work at it. She encouraged her to get a good education and from the fifth grade through high school, she attended a parochial school and was valedictorian of her graduating class.

After high school she went to [[New Orleans, Louisiana|New Orleans]], [[Louisiana]], to [[Xavier University of Louisiana|Xavier University]], then an African-American Roman Catholic University, where she majored in [[pharmacy]] for about two years.

In 1954, she returned to Birmingham briefly. As part of the [[Jim Crow law]]s that established and maintained racial inequality, African Americans were required to pass an onerous [[literacy test]] and pay a [[Poll tax (United States)|poll tax]] in order to vote. She remembers the test giver looking at her application and saying only, "You went to Xavier University. Two dollars." Subsequently, she helped other African Americans prepare for the test. In 1963, racial segregation of Birmingham's downtown merchants ended as a result of the [[Birmingham campaign]], and in 1964, the Twenty-fourth Amendment outlawed the poll tax in Federal elections. But it was not until 1965 that the [[Voting Rights Act]] eliminated the literacy test.

Shortly thereafter, she married and moved to [[Cleveland]] with the intention of continuing her studies. Unfortunately, the local university had ended its pharmacy program a short time before and no nearby alternative existed.

==Career at NACA and NASA==
In 1955, she read a local newspaper article about a story on twin sisters who worked for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) as "computers" and the next day she applied for a job. Within two weeks she was hired, one of four African Americans of about 2500 employees. She began her career in as a Mathematician and Computer Engineer at the NACA Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory (which became NASA Lewis Research Center, 1958–1999, and subsequently the [[Glenn Research Center|John H. Glenn Research Center]]) in Cleveland, Ohio. She continued her education while working for the agency and in 1977, she obtained a [[Bachelor of Science]] in Mathematics from [[Cleveland State University]]. As part of a continuing education, Easley worked through specialization courses offered by NASA.

Her 34-year career included developing and implementing computer code that analyzed alternative power technologies, supported [[Centaur (rocket stage)|Centaur]], determined solar, wind and energy projects, identified energy conversion systems and alternative systems to solve energy problems.<ref>"Easley, Annie J.: American Computer Scientist" in ''World of Computer Science''. Brigham Narin, Ed. (Detroit, MI: Gales Group), 2002. p. 210.</ref> Her energy assignments included studies to determine the life use of storage batteries, such as those used in electric utility vehicles. Her computer applications have been used to identify energy conversion systems that offer the improvement over commercially available technologies. She retired in 1989 (some sources say 1991).

Easley's work with the Centaur project helped as technological foundations for the space shuttle launches and launches of communication, military and weather satellites. Her work contributed to the 1997 flight to Saturn of the [[Cassini–Huygens|Cassini]] probe, which was launched by the Centaur.

Annie Easley was interviewed in Cleveland, on August 21, 2001 by Sandra Johnson.<ref>{{cite interview |subject=Annie Easley |interviewer=Sandra Johnson |title=Annie J. Easley Oral History |type= |url=http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/history/oral_histories/NASA_HQ/Herstory/EasleyAJ/AJE_8-21-01.pdf |format=PDF |program=NASA Oral History Project |city=Cleveland |date=21 August 2001 |accessdate= }}</ref> The interview is stored in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center Oral History Program. The 55 page interview transcript includes material on the history of the Civil Rights Movement, Glenn Research Center, [[Johnson Space Center]], [[space flight]], and the contribution of women to space flight.

Filmed in 2013 and originally planned for an early 2014 release, the release date was later moved to January 30, 2015.<ref name="release" />

==Plot==
In 2014, 17-year-old high school senior and aspiring inventor David Raskin ([[Jonny Weston]]) is admitted into [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]], but is unable to afford its tuition fees. Upon learning his mother, Kathy Raskin ([[Amy Landecker]]), is planning to sell the house, David enlists his sister Christina ([[Virginia Gardner]]) and his friends Adam Le ([[Allen Evangelista]]) and Quinn Goldberg ([[Sam Lerner]]) to go through the belongings of his father, Ben Raskin ([[Gary Weeks]]), an inventor who died in a car crash on David's 7th birthday, in the hope of finding something that David can use to get a scholarship. David ends up finding an old camera with a video recording of his birthday, in which he briefly spots his 17-year-old self in a reflection. The four later find the blueprints of a temporal relocation device that Ben was developing for the United States military, and use the available resources to build a functional [[time machine]], including hydrogen canisters stolen from their school. David, Christina, Adam, and Quinn later use the battery from the car of David's longtime crush, Jessie Pierce ([[Sofia Black D'Elia]]), who is attending a party in the neighborhood, to charge up the machine, and successfully send a toy car back in time. They end up being caught by Jessie and recruit her to their experiment, which they nickname "Project Almanac."

David, Jessie, Christina, Adam, and Quinn eventually travel back in time to the day before and break into Quinn's house, where they draw a smiley face on the back of the neck of a sleeping past Quinn (which simultaneously appears on the back of the visiting Quinn's neck). However, he awakens and seeing his future self nearly erases them both from the timeline. The five agree to use the machine for personal gain on the condition that they always use it together. Adam uses it to win the lottery, Christina gets back at her bullies, Quinn aces a chemistry test to secure his academic future, and the group eventually decides to travel back to [[Lollapalooza]] three months before. David hesitates to declare his feelings for Jessie, and decides to travel back in time alone to change that, leading to a future in which they are a couple. However, this creates a ripple effect that causes the school's star basketball player to have broken his leg and lose the championship, as well as a plane piloted by a classmate's father to have crashed, killing 72 people. David goes back alone once again and prevents the accident that would lead to the player's injury, and averts the plane crash. He returns to the future to learn that instead Adam is in critical condition in the hospital after being run over.

Jessie confronts David, who is forced to admit to using the time machine to win her affection. They travel back in time together to rectify David's mistakes and save Adam, but Jessie ends up running into her past self and is erased from the timeline, causing an even more devastating ripple effect, leading to worldwide catastrophes. David decides to go back to his 7th birthday to prevent the machine from being created, but is confronted by the police, who suspect him of being connected to Jessie's disappearance. David escapes to his school to use a hydrogen canister to return to 2004, where he is accidentally caught on camera.

At the basement, David confronts his father Ben, who recognizes him and deduces that he'll eventually complete the machine. David convinces Ben of the machine's danger and they destroy the blueprints and a vital circuit together, before David is erased from the timeline. However, his camera is left behind and records the whole thing. Back in the future, David and Christina are once again going through their father's belongings, when they find the alternate David's camera with footage of them from minutes before. Later, at school, David approaches Jessie for the first time once again, displaying knowledge of the future, and confides in her that they're about to "change the world."

John DeFore of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' in his review said that the film "begins as a marginally fun diversion before proving to have nearly no interest in the possibilities of its premise."<ref>{{cite web | url = http://m.hollywoodreporter.com/entry/view/id/903874 | title = 'Project Almanac': Film Review | author = John DeFore | publisher = ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' | date = January 28, 2015 | accessdate = February 1, 2015}}</ref>

A.A. Dowd of ''[[The A.V. Club]]'' gave the film a C+ and said, "As found-footage thrillers go, ''Project Almanac'' is perfectly watchable, but it never taps into the adolescent joy of its premise, the way ''[[Chronicle (film)|Chronicle]]'' did."<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.avclub.com/review/it-would-take-time-machine-fix-problems-project-al-214594 | title = It would take a time machine to fix the problems with Project Almanac | author = A.A.
