The car went off the side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and into the water. It began to fill up, and the 22-year-old driver believed she was drowning.
But Morgan Lake, of Dunkirk, Md., said she made the decision not to die in the water and told herself "you can do this."
And she climbed out of the car, through a shattered window, and swam to safety, becoming the central figure in a story of survival that has attracted vast attention.
It began shortly after she drove onto the bridge Friday night, on her way to Philadelphia to visit friends and relatives. The terror took hold when she looked in the rearview mirror and saw a tractor-trailer "coming full speed." Her car was struck, police said.
According to authorities, the car hit the barrier at the side of the bridge. That pushed her car back onto the roadway, but then it was bumped by the tractor-trailer a second time. That propelled it upward 3½ feet to the top of the concrete Jersey wall.
The car straddled the wall for a time, according to police and to Lake.
But then, she said, it tipped over, and she was falling for what "felt like eternity."
It seemed almost to be happening in slow motion, Lake said. The drop was estimated to have been 40 feet or more. Then the car hit the water, its windshield and the driver's side window shattered.
The car filled with water, Lake said, and she "felt I was going to die." She said she actually "started to drown."
But then, she said in a telephone interview late Sunday, "I got myself together," and refused to drown.
She told herself that she could save her own life, and she did.
"I went from panic to calm," she said. She proceeded in steps, first unbuckling her seat belt, then grabbing the window and getting out of the car.
She said it seemed to take a long time to reach the surface. She gasped for air as many as five times. She looked around and began to swim.
Her mother, Melani Lake, said she knew her daughter was an incredible athlete. But "we didn't know she could swim like that."
She credited her daughter's "sheer will to survive."
For her part, the daughter, a student at the College of Southern Maryland, described herself as "blessed to be alive."
She said she learned that "there's a superman and a superwoman in everyone." The important thing, she said, is "just not to give up."
When the car went into the water, it was not far from the bridge, which is supported at that point by a series of pillars. Soon she reached rocks that surround the base of one of the bridge supports.
Division chief Keith Swindle of the Anne Arundel County (Md.) Fire Department said a boater in the area went to her aid and stayed there until the arrival of the county's fire boat and a boat from the Maryland Natural Resources Police.
After initial treatment, Lake was placed on a police boat and then flown by helicopter to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. She was released Saturday from the hospital.
The police officer said it was first believed that she had suffered fractures, but he said her injuries turned out to be only bumps and bruises.
Lake said she was still experiencing considerable pain Sunday night. But "blessed to be alive," she said.
In their account of the crash, released Sunday, Transportation Authority Police said Lake was driving alone on the eastbound span of the bridge about 8:30 p.m. Friday when her car and another one were struck by a tractor-trailer.
The other vehicle, a Mazda, remained on the bridge and neither occupant was injured.
The driver of the truck, Gabor Lovasz of Canada, was not injured, police said.
No charges have been filed, but an investigation is ongoing, a spokesman for the Transportation Authority Police said.
Authorities said the crash occurred less than a quarter-mile from shore and shut down the east-bound span of the bridge for about two hours.
The car was removed from the water Saturday.
The 4.3-mile arched, dual-span Bay Bridge, which rises 186 feet above the bay at its highest point, has long terrified some motorists. Crossed by more than 25 million vehicles annually, it connects Washington's urban centers and suburbs with Ocean City and other coastal communities - and can provide a white-knuckle driving experience, even in the best of conditions.
"The Bay Bridge has everything to fear, not just height," the late psychotherapist Jerilyn Ross once told The Washington Post. "Water, traffic, claustrophobia - anyone who's prone to suffer from a phobia has a problem with the bridge. It's the feeling of being so close to death."
For years, police offered to drive cars over the bridge for phobics; more recently, entrepreneurs have done the same. In 2010, Travel + Leisure magazine named it one of "the world's scariest bridges."
But accidents in which cars go flying off the bridge into the water are extremely rare.
"It is very uncommon for this to happen," said 1st Sgt. Jonathan Green, a Maryland Transportation Authority Police spokesman.
The last time before Friday, he said, was 2008, when a three-vehicle accident sent a chicken-filled 18-wheeler through a concrete wall and into the water, killing the driver, John Short of Willards, Md.
Another motorist died in an accident in 2011, after his car broke down on the bridge. He stepped out of the vehicle, which was subsequently struck by a truck. The force of the crash sent Harry Blauvelt, a retired sportswriter, into the water.
Washington Post staff writers Julie Tate and Julie Zauzmer contributed to this report.

COMPENSATION DEMO WITH XACTLY Results Beyond Revenue: Motivating Your Sales Team for Big Successes
Date:December 3, 2012 at 2:00 - 3:00 PM ET
Erik Charles, Principal Incentives Strategist(Xactly Corporation)
There's more to incenting your sales team than just rewarding revenue. You need something that will motivate the team to perform beyond expectations. Today's complex selling environment demands that HR professionals implement compensation and incentive plans geared toward achieving competitive levels of growth. We'll show you how to keep your sales team focused on all the right measures including tips based on proven research to help HR professionals drive winning behaviors and develop focused, diligent reps who consistenly reach quota. When done right, automating your incentive compensation boosts rep productivity and company profits. You'll potentially see 36% faster revenue growth. When done wrong, you waste time, energy and resources. What's worse: you might actually discourage your reps from selling. We'll touch on some best practices for incentive plans:
* Choose effective and clear incentives to align reps with company goals. You may consider tailoring incentives to your unique sales force for even better results.
* Communicate your plan thoroughly. By incenting right - and effectively communicating changes - you'll help sales reps sell more.
* Pick the right metrics for your growing organization. Make sure they motivate success and deliver the results you want.
* Use an automated dashboard. Everything from prospect to payroll is visible for you and your reps. You can see how the team is progressing towards goals, how the product mix is being sold, and how industries are being penetrated.
Instead of guessing what will motivate your team, you'll know the best rewards to get your reps to move the revenue needle.
Who Should Participate
HR Professionals supporting efforts to make sales compensation a more strategic part of the company's operations.
What You Will Learn

MARDELA SPRINGS, Md. - The Wicomico Bureau of Investigation is looking for Delmarva's help to solve a spree of burglaries which have hit one Maryland town. Athol Road in Mardela Springs has been the site of multiple burglaries, and now officials have released a photo of one man they are looking to find.
The WBI has defined the person as a "person of interest," a term that doesn't define him as a suspect, but as someone they would like to question about the case. The person in the photo is a white male, with tattoos on both sides of his neck. He was seen driving either a dark green or a black Jeep Compass, according to police. They have reported he was apparently scoping out homes in the video.
Jerry Marshall lives down the street from the site of the latest burglary. He is not only a resident of the area for close to a decade, but he is also one of the county commissioners in Mardela Springs.
"Mardela is a small town," he said. "Everyone knows everybody. And everybody looks out for everybody."
But Marshall said that he is now a little more concerned, and is keeping his house more secure in the aftermath of these burglaries. He has ADT installed to protect his property from any burglary. He is concerned the events might harm the tight-knit community in Mardela Springs.
"For years everybody trusted everybody," he said. "Everybody knows everybody by first name. And grew up with each other, went to school with each other. And it's just really. It's really a shock to the community." John Lane, who has been living in Mardela Springs for close to 30 years agreed.
"it's just a plane Jane country town," he said.
Lane said that the events were shocking because the town is usually tranquil and peaceful, not the place you'd expect any crimes to take place.
"It's the type of place that you wouldn't think that they'd have any type of burglary or drug problem or anything else," he said. "But I guess there are just enough people out there that are hard put for money and hard put for anything that they can get that they can sell."
The car seen in the photo is missing a right hub cap, has a sun roof, and displays a sticker on the left rear of the vehicle. Police ask the public to report any matching vehicles to the WBI at 410-548-4898. You can also contact Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.

Dracut 48, Tewksbury 21
The Redmen put up the best fight they could but they were unable to stop the Midshipmen from clinching the MVC D2 championship with a 48-21 win.
There were some highlights for Tewksbury. Tim Martel earned a hard-fought 5-3 overtime win over Dracut's outstanding 182-pounder, Stig McElhinney. Joe Martell earned a pin at 120 in just 1:00. Nick Falcone scored a pinfall win at 138 in 5:05. At 195, Dan Donovan notched a pinfall win in 1:25.
Boys Hockey
Tewksbury 2, North Andover 1
You can help you win games but you need a veteran presence down the stretch if you want to win championships That's exactly what Derek Petti has provided the Redmen over the second half of the season.
On Wednesday night, he scored twice and added an assist to lift Tewksbury past North Andover, 3-2.
After a scoreless first period, Tewksbury took command with a pair of second period power play goals by Petti and Pat Doherty. Petti's second of the game made it 3-0 in the third period and things seemed well in hand.
But North Andover wasn't finished, scoring a pair of late goals to make things interesting.
Sophomore Kyle Paquette made 22 saves to earn the victory in net. Ryan Petti assisted on all three Redmen goals.
With the win, Tewksbury improved to 11-2-1.
Girls Hockey
Tewksbury/Methuen 5, Newton South 2
Amanda Conway is setting a scoring mark in the first year of the Tewksbury High girls hockey program that may stand for quite a while.
Conway, still just a sophomore, notched another hat trick to lead Tewksbury/Methuen to a 5-2 win over Newton South. In addition to goals 32, 33 and 34 on the year, Conway added assists on goals by Kelly Blackwell and Haley Golini. Riley Cote and Hayley Sutherland added assists.
Taylor Lirakis had a rare easy night. She was forced to make just 18 saves, as the Red Rangers evened their record at 6-6-3 on the season.

How Congress lost its tech groove at the corner of CitiBank and a fruit basket
Congress, as an institution, doesn't appear to have the technological skills and knowledge to ask the right questions when it comes to increasingly complex agency IT programs. The congressionally-chartered Office of Technology Assessment was defunded in the mid-1990s and former staffers say its absence is sorely felt today. Many people say the time is right for a reboot of the OTA. This article is part of the Federal News Radio special report, A New Era in Technology.

Parmy Olson, Forbes Staff
I cover agitators and innovators in mobile.
HTC is between a rock and a very hard place. Earlier today the Taiwanese smartphone maker said that revenue in the first quarter would be flat at best, or continue falling by as much as 17% to $50 billion; margins would either hold steady or shrink.
Some 18 months ago, HTC was ruling the roost as one of the world's top smartphone makers running Android: an 8.8%-global market share, margins of around 30%. Now it's market cap is down 75%, and margins have fallen to the 21-23% range.
The problem comes from the front and rear. Samsung is increasing volumes for low-end phones while Apple is said to be preparing a cheaper iPhone. Meanwhile low-end vendors from China like ZTE and Huawei are cramming better functionality into their cheaper devices to make cheap, super phones. (See: "Huawei Challenges Samsung With 'World's Biggest Smartphone'")
"HTC, like Nokia, MMI, Sony, LG Electronics, Research in Motion (now renamed BlackBerry) are all sandwiched in the middle, battling for relevance," said Berenberg analyst Adnaan Ahmad in a note to investors, throwing out a few smartphone volume numbers to illustrate the challenge: "HTC: 7.5 million units (our estimate for the quarter); Nokia: 6.6 million ex-Asha… Sony: 8 million – 9 million; Motorola Mobility 3 million (our estimate); Research in Motion: 7 million; and LG Electronics: 7 million. These compare with Samsung (60 million+ units), Apple (48 million), Huawei (18 million), ZTE (8 million – 9 million) and Lenovo (7 million)."
HTC's forthcoming device, codenamed the M7, "needs to be on another planet, [and] not just a very good HTC device, for it to drive earnings growth at the company," he added. HTC recently sent invites to a press event on Feb. 19th and it is widely expected to unveil the new handset on this date, allowing it to steal some press attention ahead of Mobile World Congress a week later.
As for tackling the low-end vendors, HTC's chief financial officer, Chialin Chang, said on a conference call today that his company would target emerging markets more closely this year, and was ready to offer smartphones priced less than its cheapest phone in China, which costs 1,999 yuan ($320).
That might not be enough. HTC also said it wouldn't go below 1,000 yuan ($160) for a smartphone — but Garner analyst Mark Hung predicts that competitive pricing pressures and feature integration will see smartphone prices go down to as low as $50 in 2013. "Global, brand-name smartphone vendors must re-examine their product lineups to determine how their low-end offerings are differentiated from the competitive products offered by low-cost vendors," he said.
Further challenging HTC will be its struggle to pivot into other avenues besides that of making mobile handsets. "Unlike Research in Motion, (a services business and an installed base of clients) and Nokia (Intellectual Property Rights), what value is there in HTC?" asks Berenberg's Ahmad. "To us it remains the biggest short in handset land."
"Although the spring M7 launch should help, competition remains a key obstacle to any material operating improvements [for HTC]," wrote Baird Equity analyst William Power, who has a "neutral" rating on the Taiwan-listed stock. "Product differentiation and enhanced marketing efforts are key in its battle against Samsung."
The problem with HTC is there is always something wrong with their phones. I go way back with them. I had a couple of "Verizon" windows mobile devices which were really made by HTC. My wife had the droid incredible and I now have a One X. With the two android devices they are slow to provide updates. I bought my One X before the Galaxy III came out yet the Galaxy III gets updated to Jelly bean first. Where is my promised update? The other thing with this phone is the wifi is flaky. I am constantly having to shut it off and turn it back on to get it to work. Sometimes I have to reboot the phone. This is a known issue but HTC does nothing. I think they don't get a lot of repeat customers. I sure won't be one.
up to I saw the bank draft which said $9842, I accept that…my… brother had been realy bringing in money parttime from there computar.. there friends cousin had bean doing this for only about eighteen months and just now cleard the loans on their appartment and purchased a gorgeous Lotus Elise. this is where I went……….. BIT40.ℂOℳ
This article is spot on. HTC faces competition not only in the high-end smartphone category but also in the low-end and that's because it doesn't consider the latter segment. While Huawei and ZTE as well as Samsung have been reaping billions off that sector, HTC have decided to ignore it.
just before I looked at the check ov $6769, I be certain that my neighbour woz actualy erning money part-time on their apple laptop.. there moms best frend has been doing this for less than twelve months and just repayed the dept on their cottage and bourt a gorgeous BMW 5-series. we looked here,,,,,,, jump30.cℴm

Action Alert on Sudan
By Joshua Ratner, RA Public Policy Fellow
Current Crisis
As you may well know, Sudan generally, and the Darfur region specifically, has been in a state of dire humanitarian crisis for a number of years. Recently, though, many of the worst atrocities ceased, and prospects for peace between northern and southern factions within Sudan appeared to be much brighter. In September 2010, the United States presented a group of incentives to the Sudanese government (such as the renewal of diplomatic relations and the lifting of economic sanctions) in exchange for progress on the full implementation of a variety of peace initiatives. For details, click here.
In the last few weeks, however, an alarming escalation of violence has broken out in Sudan that threatens the fragile peace process and the July 9 date for southern secession. The Sudan Armed Forces have bombarded and occupied the contested Abyei border region, causing Abyei's civilian residents to flee for their lives. This attack followed a military build-up in the region. For a link to detailed explanations of recent events, click here and here.
Given the extent of the crisis, we have provided some texts and resources below for colleagues who would like to address this issue in sermons, messages, or other fora.
Averting Suffering in Sudan
Numerous sources from our tradition affirm the obligation to take action to protect human life from imminent harm. These sources include:
- You shall not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor. (Lev. 19:16)
- Mishnah: The poor of the gentiles may not be prevented from gathering gleanings, forgotten sheaves, and the corner of the field, in the interests of peace.
Gemara: Our Rabbis have taught: 'We support the poor of the gentiles along with the poor of Israel, and visit the sick of the gentiles along with the sick of Israel, and bury the poor of the gentiles along with the dead of Israel, in the interests of peace. [Soncino translation] (BT Gittin 59a)
- Whenever a person can save another person's life but fails to do so, he transgresses a negative commandment, as Leviticus 19:16 states: "Do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor." Similarly, [this commandment applies] when a person sees a colleague drowning at sea or being attacked by robbers or a wild animal, and he can save him himself or can hire others to save him and does not. Similarly, [it applies] when he hears [others] conspiring to harm a colleague or planning a snare for him, and he does not inform him and notify him [of the danger]. (Rambam, Laws of the Murderer and Protecting Life 1:14).
- Redeeming captives takes precedence over providing food and clothing for the poor. There is no greater mitzvah than redeeming captives, for the captive is in the category of the starving, the thirsting, and the naked, indeed in danger of losing their own life. (Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Laws of Gifts to the Poor 8:10).
- We Jews have been commanded to rescue the pursued from the hands of any who pursue them with intent to kill, if necessary at the cost of the pursuer's life...Among the roots of this commandment is that God, Who is Blessed, created the world and willed that it be settled, and the settlement of the world is upheld by the championing of the weak against those stronger. Furthermore, the pursued will always have eyes and heart turned toward God to champion him against his pursuer, as Scripture says, "The Lord will seek out the pursued"- meaning that the pursued seeks the Lord and prays. (Sefer Hahinukh, Mitzvah 600).
- And so too any obstacle that endangers life, it is a positive commandment to remove it and to be very careful around it as it is said, "Protect yourself and guard yourself." (Deuteronomy 4:9) And if he did not remove and set aside these obstacles that are dangerous, he violated the positive commandment and also violated the commandment, "Do not bring bloodguilt upon yourself" (Deuteronomy 22:8). (Shulhan Arukh, Hoshen Mishpat 427:8).
- "The saving of life overrides the commandments of the entire Torah; and he shall live by them and not die by them. Desecrate one Sabbath on his account so that he may keep many Sabbaths" (Yoma 85b). This law is the watchword of Judaism...Maimonides, the master of conciseness, deviated from his regular manner and treated this issue with great elaborateness: "When such things have to be done, they should not be left to heathens, minors, slaves or women...They should rather be done by adult and scholarly Israelites. (Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, "Halakhic Man." trans. by Lawrence Kaplan. (Philadelphia: JPS, 1983), pp. 34-35.)
- At a time when the community is suffering, no one should say, "I will go home, eat, drink, and be at peace with myself." (BT Ta'anit 11a [AJWS Translation]).
- And who knows, perhaps you have attained to royal position for just such a crisis. (Esther 4:14)
In addition, our collective historical experience compels us to take action to "never again" allow the suffering that has befallen Jewish communities for 2000 years to be inflicted against others.
- We who have preached to the world for decades about its failure to save the Jews who faced Nazi genocide, cannot ignore the plight of other victims of heinous crimes. Our response, moreover, will in no way diminish or impugn the memory of the Holocaust. If anything, the success of a Jewish effort against the perpetrators of contemporary mass murder, ethnic cleansing, and genocide will only reinforce the power of the memory of the Holocaust and its unique importance not only for us but for the entire world. (Efraim Zuroff, "A Plea for Jewish Action Against the Crimes Being Committed in Darfur" (Edah), http://www.edah.org/zuroff.cfm.)
Past RA Involvement with Sudan
The RA has been deeply involved in Sudan-related advocacy. The RA is a founding member of the Save Darfur Coalition and has worked closely with the Coalition, the American Jewish World Service, and the Jewish Coalition for Disaster Relief to raise awareness of, raise money for, and advocate on behalf of those suffering from atrocities throughout Sudan, particularly in the Darfur region. In a 2005 Resolution, the RA resolved to urge the US and other governments to foster peace and relief to those suffering in Darfur and to encourage RA members "to speak out, write letters, and teach about genocide in the Sudan and our obligations as a Jewish community to respond." The RA also passed a resolution at our convention in March calling for strong and decisive humanitarian action in Darfur.
What You Can Do to Help
There are several immediate steps that can be taken in response to the recent outbreak of violence in Sudan. For a summary of steps the United States can take in response to these atrocities, click here. For a link to an email letter to President Obama, created by the Save Darfur coalition, click here. For a link to an email letter to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice urging an investigation into human rights abuses in Abyei, Blue Nile, and Southern Kordofan, click here. Additionally, the Save Darfur coalition will be coordinating a series of calls to action on Sudan from July 1, 2011 through July 31, 2011.

Foxcroft Basic Non-Iron Shirt 37 37
Practical & Professional Basic white shirt that goes with almost everything, I bought 5 white shirts. This makes dressing easy and efficient. July 14, 2014
Great shirt I bought this shirt for traveling. I had a similar one I got about 5 years ago from Travel Smith and it has held up very well. I did have to exchange this one for a petite as the sleeves were too long.. July 9, 2014
Fantastic all purpose shirt I absolutely LOVE this shirt so much! I purchased a size 6 in China Blue and wore it for the first time while on an overseas combined business and pleasure trip in Asia. It was hot and muggy. But, this shirt was amazingly comfortable. It did not become drenched with my sweat nor cling to my skin. It remained unwrinkled despite being worn probably 3-4 times without needing a wash. If you are looking for a versatile and low maintenance nice shirt for business purposes or for everyday wear, I unreservedly recommend this shirt. June 30, 2014
I'm 5'3", 175 pounds. Blouse was nice except too tight around bust and sleeves way too long. Will return and keep looking for a nice white blouse. June 14, 2014
Mary's blouse Needed a blouse for business meetings and conventions. this blouse was the answer. Very professional, classic blouse. Looks great with suit jacket and skirt or slacks. May 27, 2014
Worthwhile purchase! The shirt was less 'blousey' than I usually wear, however, the quality is superb! The fold lines from shipping disappeared with a light spritz of cool water. I am very pleased with this purchase! May 17, 2014
Perfect basic shirt Fit was fine for me. The shirt washes well. The details are crisp. Excellent quality. May 16, 2014
Great shirt, great value. . . . BUT I object to shipping charges on all orders ! Good returning customers like myself who buy for myself and my family, should be extended free shipping both ways as most of the Retailers extend these days. May 8, 2014

Though the fuel-injected, 999cc inline-four has been slightly retuned to shift the powerband into a range that's more useful for street riding, it still puts out nearly 125 bhp and provides an exhilarating top-end rush.

— A Center Point man has been arrested for the Monday robbery of a payday loan store in Forestdale.
Curtis Williams, 29, was arrested Tuesday night by Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies for an outstanding felony robbery warrant, as well as failure to appear on charges of possession of marijuana. While being questioned, Williams confessed to being one of two men who robbed the store in the 1500 block of Forestdale Blvd.
Employees of the store had recognized Williams during the robbery, which occurred around 2 p.m. Deputies then found the outstanding charges and determined Williams' location. The arrest took place about 9 p.m. at the suspect's home.
Williams is held without bond in the county jail on charges of first degree robbery, second degree robbery and possession of marijuana.
The other robber has not been identified, and remains at large.

Scouts, especially, need to keep this in mind when packing for your trip. Please make certain to pack rain gear and a pair of shoes that will keep your feet dry. This doesn't mean we are going to be a soggy mess all week long, but it does mean we should "Be Prepared"!
Another great adventure begins in approximately 48 hours; don't create another big adventure by waiting until the absolute last minute to take care of these details:
If you have not turned in a 3 parts of your Medical forms, you need to get that done by a physician now!!!!
We are stopping to have dinner in Blairsville Saturday evening. This is a pizza buffet, an honest-to-goodness all-you-can-eat deal with a salad buffet and drink included, or as Mr. Gadsby put it, "Perhaps the greatest food concept known to civilized man."
The cost for this is $8 and that includes the gratuity (tip).
** I will collect this money at
the church Saturday morning and I am requesting EXACT CHANGE, as in three Washingtons and a Lincoln, or any combination that adds up to EIGHT DOLLARS. Things will be hectic that morning and to reduce the headache of trying to make change for more than 30 people, Bank of Fatica is requesting EXACT CHANGE. You have two days to get it done, so please make sure to bring me EXACT CHANGE totaling 8 DOLLARS on Saturday morning.
* Rain gear? In addition to a poncho or a rain slicker, bring a couple of large plastic Ziplock-type bags to protect papers or other important items. The bags might also come in handy for keeping your pack organized.
* A small container of dish soap or laundry soap? The soap can be used for hand washing your clothes if they get soiled and you run out of extras. (Mini travel containers with a sealable flip-top spout at Walmart or Target are perfect for this)
* Clothes line? (for hanging up towels and bathing suits, airing out sleeping bags)
* A small or medium sized notepad and pencil? You may want to take notes, especially for some of your merit badge sessions. A stenographer's notepad is good for this use.
* Sunscreen?
* An extra set of batteries? Flashlights don't stay bright forever.
* How 'bout a garbage bag so you can keep
your dirty clothes separated from your clean ones? To save space in your pack, re-fold your dirty clothes and pack them as you would your clean ones. This works better than just wadding everything up.
* Plenty of extra socks? Keep your feet happy by wearing socks, even if it's just ankle socks. Your feet will enjoy the comfort of extra padding, protection from blisters, and saving your tent partner from gagging from the stench of sweaty feet jammed in to your shoes all day long.
* A personal first aid kit? It doesn't have to be fancy, but even an Altoids tin with some Band-Aids in it will be handy.
* Money for the Trading Post? The Woodruff trading post will have all kinds of really great things in it, including a fantastic selection
of tee-shirts, caps, patches, and a nice assortment of refreshments.
See you all Saturday morning!

High school wrestling
Dear Idaho Statesman, and especially the sportswriters: Last week through work, I found out the No. 45 and No. 41 wrestling high schools in the nation were going head-to-head.
Although I am not an expert wrestling fan, I thought it was pretty cool. To my displeasure, the Statesman had very little to no coverage of this. After the two schools met in what I heard to be an amazing night of wrestling, I have yet to read about it. Shame on you for the lack of coverage.
We have two top-50 schools in the nation and you have poor coverage of it. As Ron Burgundy would say, "That's bush league."
Please own up to your lack of coverage and print this letter. Congrats Kuna and Centennial - top 50 is something to be proud of.
BEN MCCLURE, Caldwell
The Olympics are great to watch. You get to see all kinds of winter sports and much more. The problem I have with the broadcast by NBC is they do not cover all of the events very well.
Figure skating is very popular, and you see a lot of it. Curling is a wacky sport, but is still kind of fun to watch for a while (you see a lot of it). I watch it for 10 or
20 minutes, then move onto something else.
A sport that a lot of people in Idaho participate in, and like to see on TV, is given no time at all. That sport would be ski racing. The men's downhill was shown (Sunday) and got about as much time as I spend watching curling. I watched maybe 10 racers run a tough course, then that was it. Gold, silver and bronze medalists were announced and that was it.
As an old ski racer (1970s and '80s), then a racing coach and instructor (retired now), I would like to see a good broadcast from NBC of a hairy, scary event - and fun, too.
Poor job by NBC.

In observance of Memorial Day, we express our profound gratitude to all of the men and women who have bravely served our country. In this post, Riding the Tiger contributor Stephen Knott puzzles over the institutional contestation of the power to send our soldiers to war.
Students taking introductory courses in American government are taught that there is an abiding tension built into the Constitution, "an invitation to struggle" between Congress and the President over the right to direct the nation's foreign policy. We learn that the founders were determined to "chain the dog of war" by giving Congress the power to declare war, believing that this power was simply too dangerous to entrust to the President alone.

Agricultural property owners who are angry at the Pennington County Commission members for taking away tax breaks - let their voices be heard Tuesday morning.
Their decision to require 160 acres of land instead of 40 to qualify for an ag land classification is unpopular among many landowners.
In fact, some say they'll have to sell their land if the decision isn't reversed.
Landowner, Ted Crisman, is hoping that if enough people speak out something may change.
"The more people that come out and state their case here the more influence we can have on a decision the commissioners will make," said Crisman.
County commissioners did say open forums on the issue will continue but at this time it will not be put on the agenda.

Coney Island
From Openwaterpedia
Coney Island is a residential neighborhood, peninsula and beach on the Atlantic Ocean in southwestern Brooklyn, New York City. The site was formerly an outer barrier island, but became partially connected to the mainland by landfill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, and Gravesend to the north. Coney Island is well known as the site of amusement parks and a seaside resort. The attractions reached their peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and years of neglect. In recent years, the area has seen the opening of MCU Park and has become home to the Brooklyn Cyclones minor league baseball team.
Open Water Swimming
The CIBBOWS open water swimming pod also swims at Coney Island Beach and Brighton Beach in New York.

Court dismisses suit against Smithfield
Smithfield Foods Inc., the nation''s largest hog producer and a major pork processor, said that a federal court dismissed a multimillion-dollar suit filed against the company by a meat processor it took over in 2003, the Associated Press reports. Pennexx Foods had charged in the Pennsylvania court that Smithfield conspired to put it out of business by failing to renovate a Pennexx plant, not shipping enough meat to fill orders and undercutting Pennexx''s prices. Smithfield, which had owned about 41 percent of Pennexx, took over the rest of the company two years ago when it defaulted on loans. Pennexx had sought more than $226 million in damages. Smithfield first changed the Pennexx name to Showcase Foods then shut the operation down in August.

Staff writer
---- — PEABODY — Answering an appeal from Mayor Ted Bettencourt, the City Council overwhelmingly approved a measure last night that begins the process of forbidding any marijuana dispensaries or growing facilities in this city.
The meeting reflected a great deal of frustration and doubt by councilors regarding the recent passage of an initiative petition allowing the sale of the drug when prescribed by a physician.
No one spoke in support of locating marijuana facilities in Peabody, but some worried that banning them outright, rather than restricting them to the adult zone, might open the door to lawsuits. Legal action, they fear, could eventually allow the pot shops in places like the downtown by judicial fiat.
For that matter, Councilor Barry Sinewitz worried about the impact of placing them on Route 1, the adult zone, which he complained already contains strip clubs, X-rated bookstores, a methadone clinic and a pool hall.
"It's almost becoming a Disneyland for all sorts of degenerate behavior," he said.
Bettencourt presented his plan for banning the facilities before the council's Legal Affairs Subcommittee at a meeting that attracted nearly all the councilors, as well as New England Cable News. He complained that passage of the referendum left too many unanswered questions.
"Who is going to write the rules?" he asked. "Who is going to enforce the rules?" Will there be background checks? What role do doctors play? "These unanswered questions and concerns to me are a public safety issue."
He told them that City Solicitor Michael Smerczynski is confident that the city has the legal right to issue a blanket restriction preventing the location of marijuana facilities in the city.
The new law allows the placement of 35 facilities statewide. Councilor Dave Gamache worried aloud about a "mad rush" to locate them come Jan. 1. Several councilors mentioned being approached prior to the meeting by people eager to set up pot shops in Peabody. One, Sinewitz said, had assured him of 7,900 customers already awaiting the opening.
Gamache had initially proposed containing any such shop to the adult zone, but he abandoned that plan to support the mayor. He reasoned that if the city's prohibition was shot down in the court, the city could then institute zoning. "We would get a second bite of the apple."
Further, Gamache referenced a meeting with police Chief Robert Champagne, who he said advised that people hoping to operate marijuana dispensaries would likely quickly bypass cities that resist. If the path to Peabody is quickly blocked, Gamache suggested, they will go to cities like Salem or towns like Boxford instead.
"This is an issue where we need to be proactive," the mayor agreed.
The councilor's deeper misgivings became more apparent during a session of the full council later in the evening.
Member Arthur Athas seemed to regret his support for the ballot measure as he had believed that the drug would be dispensed in pharmacies.
"Perhaps I was naive," he said.
In the same vein, Councilor Rico Mello wondered at a drug regime where there has been no testing and the drugs are dispensed with no reliable method of gauging their strength.
"I hear this is some kind of medical facility," he said. "It's ludicrous."
In five years, Sinewitz predicted, will come a push for fully legalizing the drug. "This is about legalizing marijuana. Let's not kid ourselves."
Council President Jim Liacos said that his mind was made up by his sons, who have lived in Colorado and California, which have both passed similar laws. "They said, 'Dad, it's a joke.' Both states are just smoking pot everywhere. Every strip mall has little shop."
Councilor Anne Manning-Martin saw the board's role as adopting the referendum to the requirements of the community. "That's been left to us."
The only no vote among the 11 councilors was Bob Driscoll, who worried that the city might be acting too quickly and that the state may yet produce some clarification in the meantime. "I'd like to have more information."
The measure goes next to a joint hearing at the end of December including the Planning Board and the council.
For good measure, at the urging of Athas, the council also passed a measure instructing city departments not to approve any marijuana facilities in the interim.

The Cullman Times
Jordan Guthrie is having some kind of senior season.
West Point became the latest team to fall victim to Cullman's consistent lefty, as Guthrie racked up 13 strikeouts and allowed just two hits in a 9-0 area win for the No. 5 Bearcats. He improved to 6-2 and notched his third shutout with the victory.
"I feel amazing. I really do," the Snead State signee said. "I feel better than I ever have."
According to Guthrie, the key to his success this season has come down to his ability to throw more strikes. The Warriors saw that for themselves in Tuesday's road game, when the southpaw continuously used picture-perfect placement to get ahead in counts so he could finish off batters with his deadly curveball or any other pitch he pleased.
Guthrie struck out the side in the first and third innings and retired the last 11 batters in order after allowing a double to Ryder Jones in the fourth inning. The only other West Point player with a hit was Wesley Smith, who singled in the third.
"He's tough to hit. Once we had two strikes, we had no chance," Warrior coach Trai Meadows said. "Hats off to Guthrie. He pitched a great game."
If the opposing skipper walks away impressed, you can bet Guthrie's own coach was equally — if not more so — astounded by his pitcher's latest gem.
"We've ridden him all year long. That man has got total command of everything he's got," Cullman's Brent Patterson said. "It's a good feeling to call pitches with somebody that's going to put it exactly where you want it."
The Black and Gold offense was only able to muster two hits in a 1-0 loss to Hoover in Guthrie's previous start, but he received more than enough support in his sixth complete game of the season.
Lance Cleveland made West Point pay for a pair of two-out errors — a dropped fly ball in the infield and an errant throw into the outfield on a pickoff attempt by Smith at catcher — with an RBI single in the first inning.
After Wesley Walker pushed in another run with a single of his own in the fourth, the Bearcats pounced on a second dropped popup to take a 3-0 lead. Mason Jones then bunted in a run to complete the first of two straight three-run innings.
Thompson and Kristian Robinson came through with RBI singles in the fifth, while Cleveland knocked in a second run with a groundout. In the sixth, Zac Crocker brought in Jones with a single and quickly came around to cross home plate on a pinch-hit double down the left-field line from Maison Goodwin.
Crocker was the only Cullman batter with two hits. Cole Collins added a single in the fifth inning.
"It's so much better to pitch with some offense like that," Guthrie said. "We showed it, and now we've got to come out in the second game and do the same thing."
Ryder Jones did his job as the Warriors' starting pitcher, hurling five effective innings before handing the ball off to Will Wrenn for the final frame. Jones struck out three but eventually couldn't keep bailing out his teammates for a poor defensive outing.
"Ryder pitched a great game," Meadown said. "It's hard to overcome errors, and they made us pay for it. We dropped a couple fly balls, and then next thing you know, they get a couple hits and put up six runs quick."
The rivals were set to face off in a nightcap, which was still in progress at presstime Tuesday night. The contest had no implications in the foes' area series.
With rain practically guaranteed for Thursday, both coaches agreed to move the teams' originally scheduled doubleheader to today at 4 p.m. in West Point.
The Warriors will send Wallace State signee Wesley Waters to the mound for as long as his ailing triceps will allow, while the Black and Gold will turn to their national prospect in Thompson.
Another series victory would guarantee Cullman a coveted spot in the playoffs.
"We like where we are. We just know we're a long way from where we need to be," Patterson said. "But by no means is it over. We've still got to go to West Point and win."
The Bearcats were 19-11 heading into Tuesday's second game after defeating Muscle Shoals 6-4 and 11-3 Monday on the road.

July 28, 2014
Posted January 2, 2008 --- 6:00 p.m.
Video games were all the rage for the 2007 holiday shopping season. But what can we expect in 2008?
According to Aaron Conklin who tracks video games and writes for the Wisconsin State Journal, The Nintendo Wii helped get people of all ages interested in video games. From kids to grandparents.
Conklin says, "I think it's more than just the Nintendo Wii. It's just the whole motion of casual gaming -- discovering that they really are a lot of fun."
He says the Wii Fit is coming out this year. It has a balance board to stand on to perform some of the games encouraging you to get exercise while entertaining yourself.
Also a new trend: Movie and games are moving closer together. Movies have the ability to grab you emotionally.
2008 should provide a lot to see and do in the world of video games.

Opinions on BIOFACH 2014
Markus Arbenz, Executive Director, IFOAM (D)
International patron
"Organic and BIOFACH / VIVANESS 2014 impact! With the Organic 3.0 theme in the 25th year of BIOFACH, the stakeholders created impetus for the next 25 years! Starting from the ideas of the pioneers (Organic 1.0) and the collective achievements of the sector (Organic 2.0), we now also need alliances to move towards our dream of a really sustainable and healthy agricultural and food industry."
Stefan Zwoll, Managing Director, BÖLW (D)
National supporting organization
"BIOFACH has become the World's leading Trade Fair for Organic Food over the past 25 years. In 2014 it has sharpened its profile as a source of ideas and political think tank. The strong presence of stakeholders from politics, science and business emphasizes its high relevance. The key theme Organic 3.0 was also exactly what the visitors wanted. Once again the sector showed its innovative power and its determination to jointly advance the future of organic agriculture and the organic food industry. All stakeholders at BIOFACH 2014 held intensive talks on developments in the organic sector. The great response from the media, the many visitors and the well-attended congress events are proof of the BIOFACH success story."
Ton van Arnhem, Embassy Adviser on Agriculture, Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (NL)
The Netherlands, Country of the Year at BIOFACH 2015
"We are looking forward to giving special attention to organic agriculture in the Netherlands as Country of the Year at BIOFACH 2015. Through her visit on the opening day this year, Agriculture Minister Sharon Dijksma has already shown the importance she attaches to high-quality, varied and sustainable products. This is also appreciated by the Dutch participants, who were very satisfied with the course of this year's BIOFACH and want to come again next year."
Annelies Timmerman, Managing Director, Ecobulbs (NL)
The Netherlands, Country of the Year at BIOFACH 2015
"BIOFACH is and remains a must event for the international sector. At no other organic exhibition can you meet so many important players in such a short time. I was very pleased to hear that the Netherlands will be Country of the Year in 2015. There is no better promotion for a nation. We have already noticed more interest in our flowers at this year's exhibition and will think up something special for exhibiting in 2015."
Heike Kirsten, Marketing Manager, Rapunzel Naturkost (D)
25th anniversary exhibitors
"We are satisfied with the course of BIOFACH and were delighted with the exhibition management's visit and the certificate for the 25th anniversary – which we immediately put on display on the stand! We have met all our exporters and held many talks. Everything went really well. This personal exchange of views and the networking at BIOFACH are the most important aspects for us!"
Jens Schinnerling, Purchasing Manager, dennree (D)
Wholesale trade in Germany
"The whole sector comes to BIOFACH and celebrates its annual gathering. The mood on the four days of the exhibition was very positive. I particularly liked the hall concept and the stands. Halls 6, 7 and 7A were really super and our buyers, who were underway throughout the site, were full of praise for the international halls too! All our main customers dropped in at the stand and our buyers met all the key manufacturers. Our staff usually spend two to three days at the exhibition. The clear structure means you can organize your visit very specifically. BIOFACH simply offers buyers a super mix of must events and freestyle!"
Karol Szwed, Managing Director, SuroVital (PL)
International exhibitor
"BIOFACH 2014 was very successful for us. We not only met our regular customers, with whom we otherwise only communicate by phone or electronic means, but also used the exhibition to look for high-quality raw materials for our products. BIOFACH scores here with an excellent range – we found what we wanted."
Emmylou Jacolo Taliño-Mendoza, Governor of Cotabato Province (RP)
International exhibitor
"This is my first visit to BIOFACH and I'm simply delighted. The products in the Philippine pavilion, especially the coconut sugar, attracted a big response from the professional audience and we even took orders at the exhibition. The Philippine exhibitors have also profited from the intercultural exchange at the exhibition and congress. We have set our target for 2015, when we would like to present even more companies and organic products at BIOFACH."
Hatim Medkouri and Dr. Yassir Medkouri, co-founders of Nutrilair (MA)
International exhibitor
"We are presenting our organic spirulina for the first time at BIOFACH and are delighted. The whole sector is represented, so we were able to meet distributors from all over the worldand make highly interesting contacts. This was perfect for us, because we are very interested in exports. We had visitors on our stand from countries like Germany, China, Indonesia, Poland and Serbia. We certainly want to come again!"
Peter Hansson, CEO, Malmö Chokladfabrik (SE)
International exhibitor
"We are overwhelmed. Actually, we could have closed the stand after the first day, as the talks were so successful and so many buyers placed orders. We are a craft manufacturer and Sweden's only bean-to-bar producer of organic chocolate from cocoa bean through to the finished chocolate itself. We would never have expected such a huge interest. We were looking for an exhibition that suited us – and have found it at BIOFACH at the very first attempt. We will definitely come again!"
Beate Kastl, Field Service, Schilcher Käse (D)
Experience the World of CHEESE
"As a loyal exhibitor we can no longer imagine a year without BIOFACH. The mood is always indescribably good and we meet many friends from the organic sector as well as existing and new customers. There is simply nothing that can replace personal talks. We'll be there again in 2015."
Mauro Altomare, Managing Director, Azienda Agricola Caputo Maria (I)
Experience the World of OLIVE OIL
"We made even more contacts this year than in 2013 and expect phenomenalfollow-up business. Receiving the Olive Oil Award has, of course, contributed to this. I feel honoured and am pleased that our oil has been so successful."
Miriam Ascherl, Managing Director, Mostarda (D)
Young innovative companies
"I have already exhibited my vegan mustard specialities in the pavilion sponsored by BMWi at the 2013 event. My conclusion: Young companies that otherwise cannot afford to exhibit at BIOFACH should use this opportunity. There was such a big interest in my products this year that I even ran out of business cards – follow-up business is guaranteed!"
Evgeniya Stamenova, Managing Director, BioStyle (BG)
Novelty Stand
"We presented our raw crackers on the Novelty Stand, which is my personal BIOFACH highlight, because we have benefited a lot from this stand. Many potential customers came to our stand to try the crackers after seeing them at this presentation. We have made valuable contacts and will have a lot to do in the coming weeks. It couldn't have gone better."
