Problem: Trying to snap a two-game losing skid, the Panthers came home for an NFC South rematch with the Atlanta Falcons. Veteran QB Vinny Testaverde would get the start. In the first quarter, Carolina trailed early as Falcons RB Warrick Dunn getting a 30-yard TD run for the only score of the period. In the second quarter, the Panthers took the lead with CB Ken Lucas returning a fumble 27 yards for a touchdown, while kicker John Kasay managed to get a 29-yard field goal. In the third quarter, Atlanta tied the game with kicker Morten Andersen getting a 36-yard field goal for the only score of the period. In the fourth quarter, the Falcons regained the lead with Andersen kicking a 47-yard field goal. Carolina would reply with Kasay nailing a 31-yard field goal. Unfortunately, Atlanta sealed the win with QB Joey Harrington completing a 30-yard TD pass to TE Alge Crumpler. With the loss, not only did the Panthers fall to 4-5, but they even lost six-straight home games.

Problem: After the Basmachi movement was destroyed as a political and military force, the fighters that remained hidden in mountainous areas conducted a guerrilla war. The Basmachi uprising had died out in most parts of Central Asia by 1926. However, skirmishes and occasional fighting along the border with Afghanistan continued until the early 1930s. Junaid Khan threatened Khiva in 1926, but was finally exiled in 1928. Two prominent commanders, Faizal Maksum and Ibrahim Bey, continued to operate out of Afghanistan and conducted a number of raids into the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic in 1929. Ibrahim Bek led a brief resurgence of the movement when collectivization fueled resistance and succeeded in delaying the policy until 1931 in Turkmenistan, but he was soon caught and executed. The movement then largely died out. In Kyrgyzstan, the last strongholds of the Basmachi were destroyed by 1934.

How many commanders continued to operate out of Afghanistan?
Answer: 1

Problem: Gaelic continues to decline in its traditional heartland. Between 2001 and 2011, the absolute number of Gaelic speakers fell sharply in the Western Isles (−1,745), Argyll & Bute (−694), and Highland (−634). The drop in Stornoway, the largest parish in the Western Isles by population, was especially acute, from 57.5% of the population in 1991 to 43.4% in 2011. The only parish outside the Western Isles over 40% Gaelic-speaking is Kilmuir, Skye in Northern Isle of Skye at 46%. The islands in the Inner Hebrides with significant percentages of Gaelic speakers are Tiree (38.3%), Raasay (30.4%), Skye (29.4%), Lismore, Scotland (26.9%), Colonsay (20.2%), and Islay (19.0%).

Carolina got off to a fast start in the first quarter as running back DeAngelo Williams got a 66-yard and a 7-yard touchdown run.  The Saints would get on the board in the second quarter as kicker John Carney made a 23-yard field goal.  The Panthers came right back as kicker John Kasay nailed a 32-yard field goal, but New Orleans would close out the half as Carney booted a 25-yard field goal.
