Counterfeit Canon batteries and battery chargers cost less than their genuine counterparts for a reason: they lack the heat management technology that's critical for safety. The underground nature of their production also ignores factors like quality control and worker well-being in favor of earning a quick buck. By buying fake Canon products, you're not just supporting these criminal groups, you're also putting your camera equipment and potentially even your own safety at serious risk.

Meet this year's hottest new shooters
The New Camera Class of 2014: DSLR Alternatives
In just a few short years the world of photography has been turned upside down, and the advent of the iPhone and other innovations like mirrorless cameras has created a dizzying array of options. We take a look at the latest new class of cameras, none of them DSLRs, but all capable and unique in their own right.
A 50mm Prime Shootout
Want This, Get This: Zeiss Otus or Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art
The way we see it, the 50mm prime competition comes down to two lenses. One makes zero compromises and pursues optical perfection at whatever the cost, and one achieves nearly the same optical clarity while costing a hell of a lot less.
Things Look Brighter the Second Time Round
Breakdown: Lytro Illum
Back in 2011, when Lytro introduced the Light Field, critics gasped in amazement at the camera's ability to refocus pictures after the shutter snap… and in horror at the angular, boxy design. Lytro updated and repackaged their technology as the Illum, which represents their first real foray into the consumer market.
The filmmaker/editor's secret weapon
Tested: Blackmagic Cinema Camera
Fitting right between the Indie filmmaker's DSLR and Hollywood studio's Arri Alexa, the Blackmagic Cinema Camera ($2,000), with its 13 stops of dynamic range and 2.5K sensor, makes filmmakers jump for joy. We took it on a test drive.
Five Oceans, Five Cameras
Buying Guide: Underwater Imaging
Nowadays, there are many options for underwater photography and videography available to the avid diver and occasional vacation snorkeler alike. These five underwater imaging options — everything from custom-machined metal housings to cameras that don't need a housing at all — will serve you well on your next dive trip. What you shoot is up to you.
No excuses, just good shots
Kit: Essentials for the Budding Movie Maker
Today's affordable tools, cameras, classes and copious creative outlets have brought making a film (one of the best story-telling devices) nearly to the everyman. Still, all those advances can't change a basic fact: sometimes making a movie means going to where the story is rather than waiting for it to come to you. But paying to check 10 Pelican cases of equipment will essentially eat your entire production budget, not to mention it's tough to sneak into a location if you have a fleet of boxes and bags. This kit can be carried by one or two people in traditional suitcases — which means you get your shots, no matter where those shots may be.
To Russia We Fly
Kit: Capturing the Olympics
Packing for a trip to Russia for the Sochi Olympics is no small feat. There's weather, international travel, technology and a desire to stay light on our feet to consider. Gear needs to be tough, functional, lightweight and understated. Here's a sampling of what we're packing to use on a normal day in Sochi.
Less is more, you photo whore
Guide to Life: Snap a Decent Instagram
As it turns out, most of Instagram's 100 million users aren't jet setting to exotic locations, climbing mountains or doing other exceptionally picturesque stuff (see #dentist for further evidence). That being said, you don't have to summit Everest to post interesting Instagrams. By following a few (relatively) straightforward guidelines you'll soon be 'gramming like Ansel Adams.
Get Above the Action
Rotary Club: Take to the Skies with These 3 Drones for the GoPro
Drones with GoPro capability have exploded in popularity over the past two or three years and are finally beginning to arrive at price points that might make the budget-minded filmmaker's ears perk up. With that in mind, we sought to find the best drones for aerial filmmaking; after some worthwhile learning experiences (don't try and learn to fly one in a New York City office), we've arrived at our three favorites.
Look Ma, No Mirrors!
Nikon AW1
The underwater digital camera is certainly not a new concept; you probably picked one up before your honeymoon to take pictures while scuba diving. How'd that work out for you? Not too great, we bet, because while the underwater digital camera is clever in theory, there aren't many companies who have made it worth our time and money. The lenses are cheap, the images are underwhelming, and face it: the cameras are homely as hell. Luckily, Nikon has decided to get serious about underwater photography — and photography in all sorts of rough conditions — with the new AW1 ($800), the first mirrorless digital camera that's completely waterproof and has interchangeable, waterproof lenses.
Don't take my Kodachrome away
Want This, Get This: Nikon Df or Olympus OMD E-M1
If you're like us, you have a long list of cameras you'd love to own. But reality (almost) always steps in, and your desires remain unfulfilled. Gear Patrol's series "Want This, Get This" presents a lust-worthy shooter along with a more affordable alternative that scratches the same itch. This week, we're celebrating two DSLRs that recall the golden age of film while also delivering next-gen features.
Through the Looking Glass
Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD
Announced all the way back in September 2012, Tamron's 70-200 f/2.8 Di VC USD ($1500) — one of the company's gutsiest moves into the pro lens field — had plenty of time to be picked apart prior to its release. Though the lens was announced a year and a half after Canon introduced the second edition of their vaunted 70-200 f/2.8 IS, the Tamron was able to combine image quality and build that kept up with the competition at a significantly reduced price point. In May 2013, nine months after its initial announcement, Tamron's bold product was released — and then vindicated by an outpouring of positive reviews.
Talk about shopping in advance
12 Guys of Christmas: The Techie
Oddly enough, the proliferation of electronic gadgetry, computer stuff and other digital goodies has made buying for the discerning sparkhead (we just coined that — please enjoy and proliferate at will) tougher. With this list, we aim to make the shopping a little simpler by covering suggestions for readers, photogs, movie buffs and gamers. Take a gander and start clicking; your techie giftee will thank you, probably with an email or holographic video message or something.
Autofocus in Every Pixel
Canon EOS 70D
We know you feel tech savvy standing at your son's baseball game with a digital SLR around your neck and a high-def camcorder over your shoulder. But with the latest technology from Canon, the digital SLR is finally capable of shooting high-def videos worth your time and effort. Ten years and seven iterations after releasing their game-changing 10D digital SLR, they've done it again with the 70D ($1199), a mid-range digital SLR for the photographic enthusiast who's ready to shoot smooth videos right next to stunning stills.
Point Taken
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II
Thanks to 16MP smartphone cameras and the mirrorless revolution, the old point-and-shoot has been headed towards extinction. That's not exactly the way Sony sees things. They stubbornly released the best damn pocket camera in the world, the RX100, last year. The mighty marvel's massive one-inch sensor paired with a fast f/1.8 Zeiss lens effortlessly produced rich 20MP images, even in the novice hands of doting grandparents and hapless tourists. How did Sony respond to the positive reviews? They released the RX100 II ($748), which is even better.
Hope you don't have a fixed income
Prime Time: 5 Best Fixed-Lens Cameras
There was a time when photographers didn't carry nine different lenses with their camera, a time when one wide-angle lens was enough to get an adroit photographer through the day because he realized that sometimes the best way to zoom in was to damn well walk closer to his subject. While most of us like having a versatile zoom lens, there's something to be said for having only one focal length: when you shoot with a fixed focal length camera, you don't take pictures, you take photographs. We've rounded up the top six "fixies" to get you started on your path towards being an artisan.
Orange is the New Black
Introducing: Gear Patrol x DSPTCH Camera Straps (Giveaway!)
Since 2010, San Francisco-based DSPTCH has designed rugged, functional camera straps that pair military-spec webbing and Paracord with high-quality hardware. They're available in a variety of excellent, reserved hues, but we couldn't help but wonder what a combination of blaze orange and matte black hardware might look like. Neither could DSPTCH — and so we're pleased to introduce GP x DSPTCH straps in our signature color.
Reflecting on the best
More For (Mirror)less: 6 Best Mirrorless Cameras
When in 2004 Epson released the R-D1, the world's first mirrorless digital camera, photographers weren't sure what to make of it. Ten years later every major camera company has thrown their proverbial hat into the mirrorless ring. In fact, with digital sensors equal to those found in DSLRs, interchangeable pro-quality lenses, and magnesium-alloy construction, mirrorless cameras are quickly becoming the choice of many professionals looking to downsize their gear. It's safe to say 2014 will be the year of the mirrorless camera, and we've rounded up our favorites to help you prepare.
Puzzling Over Professional Micro Four Thirds
Tested: Olympus OM-D EM-1
Olympus's new OM-D EM-1 ($1,400, body only) is way ahead of its time. Effectively an upgraded version of the already-capable E-M5, the E-M1 is an excellent shooter across the board, albeit one that can't quite find its place in the market. We say: stay different, E-M1.
Taking photos... the long way
Handling incredibly dangerous chemicals and taking a single, earth-shattering shot — as much as it sounds like a recent happening in Breaking Bad, we're actually talking about daguerreotype. Invented in the early 1800s, the labor-intensive process laid the groundwork for modern photography. Today, artists like Dan Carillo keep the tradition alive. This short film features incredible shots of Carillo's daguerreotype process.
Brace Yourself
Steady As She Goes: 3 Great Monopods
You've got the latest DSLR, a smattering of lenses and the best location in the world, but try as you might, things are still looking more Monet than Ansel Adams. Even with the best image stabilization technology and neurosurgeon hands, photos will loose their crispness around exposures longer than 1/20th of a second. Past that, you're going to need something sturdy to rest on. Less is more, we say. Here are our three favorite monopods.
Just add water
Kit: Diving the Bahamas
While we love diving for its ability to transport us to an alien world, defy gravity and commune with nature, we also love it for the gear. Diving may be the most gear-intensive sport out there, with the possible exception of mountain climbing. Without your mask, you don't see, without your tank and regulator, you don't breathe, without your dive computer, you risk a nasty case of the bends. For our recent trip to the Bahamas, we packed along our favorite warm water diving kit, a collection of necessities, safety backups and just a little bit of style.

Fortunately for you, we've managed to narrow down the top offerings based on performance, suitability, features and price. Take a break from planning that next base-jumping adventure and get a closer at the five best action cameras available now.
Connectivity never looked so good
Canon EOS 6D: Turning Creativity Into Reality
The creative process is a series of concessions. That ideal image, pristine and brilliant in your mind, gradually breaks down in the face of technological limitations and, well, real life. Canon's EOS 6D, the lightest and most affordable of the brand's full-frame models, seeks to narrow the gap between vision and reality. With a 20.2 megapixel sensor, a 100 to 125,6000 ISO range, and 11-point autofocus, the EOS 6D more than holds up its end of the creative bargain.
Read on for a breakdown of all the camera's unique features.
A new Rebel with a cause
Canon EOS Rebel T5i: Entry Level, Redefined
Canon's Rebel line of DSLRs has always offered an impressive mixture of features while remaining completely approachable. The recently released Canon EOS Rebel T5i continues this tradition as the new flagship of the Rebel line. Like the EOS Rebel 650D before it, this shooter boasts an 18MP CMOS sensor, a 9-point cross-type AF sensor, a 3-inch 1.04m-dot touch-sensitive vari-angle ClearView II LCD, and Full HD video mode, complete with continuous autofocus in movie mode with subject tracking; these are all contained in a body that feels more professional than its predecessor.

Walkaround Guys: 5 Best Everyday Kit Lenses
Kit lenses have a bad reputation for being the cheap training wheels of the photography world, built solely to make the DSLR buying process more approachable for thrifty consumers in search of a one-stop upgrade. These knocks against the category aren't completely unfounded, but you shouldn't let the general snobbery of experienced photographers steer you away from a good deal or convenience. There are a variety of kit lenses that are still a tremendous value and a great starting point for building a glass collection, whether they're purchased with a camera or on their own. Here, you'll find a few of our favorites across a variety of major brands and setups.
A Full-Frame Legacy Lives On
Canon 5D Mark III: Setting the Standard
Canon has long stood apart from its competitors in the world of DSLR cameras. Each successive EOS release since the pioneering EOS 650 model in 1987 has pushed the vanguard of photographic technology, all the while maintaining sleek, elegant design and attending to customer feedback.
This attention to the consumer shines through in the Canon EOS 5D Mark III ($3,499), a camera that has single-handedly set the standard for modern DSLRs.
Let's dive further into how the Canon EOS 5D Mark III continues Canon's full-frame legacy.

Adventure Proof: 5 Best Rugged Compact Cameras
Smartphones have made typical point-and-shoots about as useful as Ryan Lochte in a public speaking class. But until our favorite thigh weights gain a thicker skin, there will always be space for tougher rigs designed to take a licking and keep on clicking. Toss one of these rugged cameras into your bag before your next big adventure, and maybe you'll finally capture some evidence to go along with that hell of a yarn.
Don't Call Them Point-and-Shoots
Tiny Titans: 5 Best Enthusiast Compact Cameras
The point-and-shoot market may have hit a smartphone camera iceberg, but the ship hasn't sunk yet. In fact, bitter competition has sped up the photography arms race, producing a wide field of top-tier compact cameras with big sensors — at a better price. Boasting image quality more than good enough to be deemed professional, these cameras can be a useful tool for the prosumer and feverish enthusiast alike, providing an infinitely more portable, all-in-one option rather than bulky DSLRs while sharing many of the same features and image quality.
That said, it's up to you sharpen the focus on what you really need. We don't mind walking a few steps to get the right shot — so our choices hone in on the best compact cameras that sport big sensors, fixed lenses and fast focusing. There's a big field of small shooters; we're here to slim it all down to the cream of the crop.

Nov. 6, 2013 — The Kentucky Christian University women's basketball team traveled to Morehead State for an exhibition contest with the Eagles this past Friday.
The Lady Knights hung tough with the Lady Eagles before a quick second half run by MSU helped defeat KCU 95-73.
Coach Ron Arnett said despite the loss, he was proud of his team for competing with a Division I mid-major school.
"I thought we played 30 minutes of really good basketball," Arnett said. "There were about seven or eight minutes at the end of the first half where we lost our focus and MSU took control. But I was proud of our girls."
The Lady Knights were led by senior guard Tanya Bowen's game-high 34-points. Jana Glick had 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting. Newcomer Ashleigh Gyalog had 10 points while Sharonda Jones and Allie Slone each had five points.
"We've got six experienced players and six newcomers," Arnett said. "I think we can be pretty good. When we rotate we'll drop off a little but we've got a really good chance to have a successful season."
Arnett added: "Allie Slone is going to be a player. She has good speed and handles the ball well and plays good defense. I thought Taylor Thrasher played well. She's raw but big and strong and very aggressive and will give us some really good minutes as the year goes on."
The Lady Knights started off the game quickly on baskets by Bowen and Glick. But the hot three-point shooting by MSU seniors Allie Turner and Terrice Robinson allowed the Eagles to pull away late in the first half.
"I thought our kids played smart and aggressive early in the first half," Arnett said. "We outscored them second half which was pleasant to see."
Bowens would score 17 points in the second half. Arnett was pleased with her offensive output.

I was raised Methodist. Now let's say I'm spiritual. It's Marin County. We're all Buddhists up here.
The influence of Campbell upon Lucas is also well-known and fairly clearly visible in the first Star Wars movie. His believes are probably more complex and interesting than I acknowledge but I nonetheless think that there is clear a contrast between his Western Buddhist / spiritual / New Age / neopagan type of thinking and the monotheistic one.
The pagan logic is that imbalances have to be eradicated. A simple pagan sacrificed a fruit, a goat or a virgin a few thousands years ago to soothe the fertility goddess and in Buddhism (at least in the way Buddhism is interpreted in the West) you have this idea of a soul that is uninfluenced by the chaos around it, i.e. the notion that there can be an inner space of balance and tranquility. The commonality is clear, balance is the goal. Intuitively this view is very appealing.
Compare this to Job or Jesus. Job doesn't believe that the horrors he had to endure are a divine punishment (and neither did his successors, Jews who lost family members in the Shoa). The monotheistic god isn't one you can bribe to ease your life like a pagan fertility goddess. Jesus sacrifices his life for his cause and despairs at the end ("why have you forsaken me?"). Again no Jedi-esque force ghost stuff or whatever, death is horrible. Same in the other way around, there cannot be too much love or too much attachment like in the case of Anakin. It was precisely Christ's love for us that led to his death.
That balance is not the goal is perhaps as counterintuitive as "turn the other cheek" or "you gotta lose your life (on the cross) to gain it" but these very non-commonsensical ideas are, at least to me, the most precious ones in these texts.
Why do I care so much about all this theological stuff? Because I think that this is one of the greatest traditions in the Judeo-Christian legacy. When Pat Robertson thinks that 9/11 was a punishment for the sinful life of America, when progressives view 9/11 as punishment for Western imperialism or when environmentalists view global warming as a punishment for our raping of Mother Earth they fall into the pagan trap, they try to give catastrophes a meaning when there is none (there can of course be explanations but they are rarely as simple), perhaps in order to gain a feeling of being in control
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam
Interesting, well studied points.
My guess is technically it doesn't prevent him from doing a third Trek film (since it would maybe be after 2015 a third would be made anyway) unless this Wars news turns out to be an intention for him to direct all three of these proposed Disney ones.
Disney can probably heftily outbid Paramount for his services.

I think it's probably a good fit.
But I'm just not all that excited about these new SW films. I gotta say I just can't muster much up just now about them. And even this news doesn't really sway things more in any particular direction since I'm more interested in the implications for Trek.
Basically, the SW films now appear to be films where I'm not sure really if Abrams has a level of input that he usually seems to enjoy. Like or loathe his way of making Trek he at least came in and made some choices and had input into the creative side of it. And that seems to have been continued with the Trek sequel. And Abrams seems to like being involved quite a bit in what he does. Certainly so far on film.
The SW films look really more like anybody at this point could turn up and say 'action' and everything else is done for the director. The script is being done by someone else, there's already rumoured to be pre-production underway...........basically this juggernaut already seems to be moving along without him. So............what DO they want him to bring to it beyond his name?
Although I can see that maybe it was simply one of those moments in life we all get when an offer or an opportunity is given to you and despite your other commitments you just cannot say 'no' to it. But I'm also sure he will get asked a lot of questions if this becomes definitive and the announcement gets made.

Could not agree more with a lot of what's been said in the last few posts.
Looking more closely at it, you and Horatio are likely right...JJ will probably just have directorial control alone, and not really much creative input since the writer and other production elements are outside of his usual Bad Robot team.
And yeah, Disney's coffers are probably a bit more impressive than Paramount's.
Here's an interesting little factoid, one that takes a slight tangent from the discussion, but still, hopefully interesting nonetheless.
When Disney Co. decided to make "The Black Hole" for 1979 release, they wanted to rent the motion control from John Dykstra, the equipment was too expensive for loan out. So, Disney Co. had to create its own motion control unit. Known as A.C.E.S. (Automatic Camera Effect Systems), Disney Co. succeeded in not only equaling Dykstra's motion control system, but for a short time, was actually more advanced than Dykstra's.
Abrams is one of the best directors in Hollywood. This is reason enough to hire him. Sure, his creative input is more limited that that of the average movie director but the job is nonetheless important.
Furthermore he is a Wars fan which is, given the abysmal experiences of Trek fans having written the scripts for the last two movies, not a guarantee for good work but if you can choose between two people for one job it is pretty natural to take the one who loves your product more.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam
Wait. I thought he already directed Star Wars?:
So that's where that rumored R2 was.
The other shots, I don't get what I'm supposed to see.

My doc prescribed 125mg of test per week. This didn't seem to raise much of my low testosterone levels. He then prescribed 250mg per week. This raised it, but no beyond what was normal.
I live in a country where steroids are legal, but not really used. My doctor is informed but only as far as the blood tests are concerned. I've always had a good level of good cholesterol. At some point my good cholesterol went down to below the minimum 40. I'm at 30-35 per test. My bad cholesterol is also pretty low and so he says it all works out OK.
I took 3 months off, Clomid only, tried to see what my testosterone levels would be. Went back with a score of 90 (Average being 400-700). Felt lazy, unmotivated. Sex drive was there, focus was there too. Didn't see any drastic changes in body composition, but I'm fat so I can't really look in the mirror and say much.
That said, when I went off the TRT my blood sugar went up into the diabetic range. Once on again and properly motivated at the gym (I was working out but not as hard) all has dropped into the normal range.
Do some people just need more? Anyone have any advice on particular tests I could have done? I've had my heart, liver, kidneys all tested, all are working perfectly. I had an MRI done just in case, all is clear. I have a brain, clean, no problems. Right now it's just that low good cholesterol score that's been bugging me.
My cardiologist (Another doc I see from time to time) says "You can't worry about the little things. You're never gonna get it so that everything is perfect and even if you do, it normally won't last." And for some reason that just doesn't click with me...maybe I need a kick in the arse from someone on this forum.
I've lost 10kgs since February. I'd like to think mostly BF since I've been able to maintain or increase physical strength...but again, I'm too fat to really know from a look in the mirror.
ETA: It seems that alcohol helps to a certain degree with blood sugar levels. I've seen some of my lowest scores come after a night of even light drinking (Which I try to avoid but due to cultural circumstances I can't).
I'm thinking of asking my doctor to split my T-shots into 2...not sure if there is any advantage to that or not. I'd like to get my good cholesterol up, been taking 6 pills of fish oil a day plus the regular advice online for raising those levels. Not sure what else I can do. Everything else being normal, am I being too picky?
Any advice recommended about anything I just said. Always looking for a new look on things. Doctors CAN be wrong, CAN be right...luckily my doctors listen to what I have to say, so any advice I get here I can bring it to my doctors...tests, recommendations, etc.

Maybe I'm missing something- what was so wrong that you came off TRT? (besides 30-35 HDL)

TRT done in the office is cheap. Done at home and it's 3x the price. It's the way the healthcare system works here. So, I visit my doctor once a week. A pain sometimes, sometimes not so much.
No other reason.

Take a look at my journal, keep me on the right path: http://www.wannabebig.com/forums/sho...-5-3-1-Journal
600 when doing 250mg per week. Because of where I am, I've got the option of injecting at the doctors or taking them home, but taking them home costs double. It's the way it works here. So, I'm at the doctors once a week. If I lived near my doctor I'd go in twice a week. Finding a doctor that treats people with TRT is hard where I'm at.

I'd do an injection every 5 days or so. 600 isn't bad at all in my opinion.
Take a look at my journal, keep me on the right path: http://www.wannabebig.com/forums/sho...-5-3-1-Journal
In a perfect world I would be able to find a doctor closer to home, but finding one that does TRT is not easy. Still, I'll keep looking around.
I did ask if he thought the injections were responsible for my low HDL and he said he didn't think so.

Are you using pharmacy grade test? I'm assuming so since you are going through a doctor. 600 seems really low for 250 mg/wk. Most people are in the normal range with TRT doses ranging from 100 - 200. I've seen guys post blood work with test levels well above normal on only 200 mg/wk.

As soon as Dale Earnhardt Jr. emerged from his No. 88 car after a ninth-place result at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, he caught the eye of crew chief Steve Letarte and the two walked away for a private conversation.
Standing between two transporters, Earnhardt Jr. let his crew chief know how he felt about his car in much more detail than the driver had revealed on the team radio.
No one – not the team members, public relations representatives or reporters – could hear the conversation. And that's significant, because it represents somewhat of a change from how Earnhardt Jr. used to conduct himself.
"Two or three years ago, I would have complained about everything I thought was wrong with that car today over the radio," he said. "Today, I know better."
It's that type of veteran experience – along with a good car and good team – that's propelled Earnhardt Jr. to what has so far been one of his best seasons ever.
"This is definitely the most consistent I've ever ran," he said.
There's evidence to back that up: The Talladega race marked Earnhardt Jr.'s sixth consecutive top-10 finish, which matches his career-long streak (the other one came in 2004).
But Sunday's result might not have happened a few years ago. In the middle part of the race, Earnhardt Jr. said he realized "we didn't have such a great car," and in order to finish, "I needed to be smart."
So he played it a bit safer than he would have preferred – after all, Earnhardt Jr. loves to lead laps at Talladega – but it worked out.
"I think you always hope to get better the more you run, the longer you are around," he said. "I'm definitely more mature, especially in the decisions I make on the racetrack."
One of those decisions, though, was just instinct.
When avoiding a big crash that took out several contenders, Earnhardt Jr. came to a virtual halt before weaving his way through the wreckage.
So how'd he do it?
"I didn't really go through it at all," he said. "I just stopped and watched the whole thing, and when everybody got done crashing, I just took off and drove on out of there."

West Wickham campaigners hoping for Croydon Road pedestrian crossing (From News Shopper)

West Wickham campaigners hoping for Croydon Road pedestrian crossing
9:13am Wednesday 5th December 2012 in Bromley By Robert Fisk, Chief Reporter
CAMPAIGNERS hope their calls for a pedestrian crossing on a busy road will be third time lucky.
They have been trying to get Transport for London to put a crossing on the A232 – Croydon Road – for about six years.
And since a 13-year-old girl was hit near the junction with Hartfield Crescent, West Wickham, in the summer they feel it is needed more than ever.
Wickham Common Residents Association chairwoman Sam Wheatcroft said: "We fear there might be a fatality on that road.
"We have a petition with 500 signatures on it and it will be sent to TfL in the next few days.
"There are no recorded fatalities but there have been plenty of vehicle accidents at the junction, particularly involving motorcyclists over the years and we have been asking for a reduction in the speed limit."
She added: "I was quite cross when I read TfL was telling West Wickham traders they could not have the Christmas lights on their lampposts when a mile up the road they weren't interested in our road safety.
"We are determined this time to get the crossing."
And in a letter published in the News Shopper last month Molly Cullinan, the girl who was hit by the car in the summer, said: "Looking back, thinking of it every day is horrible.
"I started screaming while my friend stood on the side of the road staring at me, looking like a ghost.
"As I got into the ambulance, I saw the tears running down my mum's face when stepping into the ambulance shaking with fear.
"In my eyes it's simple – just put a crossing there.
"If the driver had been going 40mph I would be dead."
A TfL spokesman said: "TfL has previously looked at the possibility of installing a pedestrian crossing along A232 Croydon Road in West Wickham.
"However, in order to safely create a crossing at this location, additional land would need to be acquired from Hayes Common and West Wickham Common.
"We continue to give this issue full consideration in conjunction with the LB Bromley and the City of London, who are responsible for the Commons, to see whether a proposal could be feasible in the future."

Some residents didn't receive power til after 10pm.
One Mayland resident is now considering asking for compensation, after so many power cuts have affected her home.

Atlanta police say an 18-month-old boy died Friday morning after being shot in the chest with a BB-gun, and his father is facing charges.The incident happened about 9 a.m. at an apartment complex located in the 1000 block of Hank Aaron Drive in southeast Atlanta, police said. Investigators say six people-- three adults and three children --were in the house when the gun went off. One resident said he saw the child's father, Jesse Sellers, running out of the apartment yelling for help. When the ambulance arrived, the witness said he saw the father wave the ambulance over and go back into the apartment with the paramedic.The toddler, Jesstin Sellers, died about an hour after being taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.Officers also recovered the BB-gun, referring to it as a rifle at the scene. They say the child's mother was home at the time, and she was the one who called 911 for help.On Friday afternoon, authorities announced that Jesse Sellers had been arrested and charged with second-degree cruelty to children and felony murder. Sellers told authorities the shooting was accidental, and that he was playing with the gun when it went off.Police said everyone is cooperating with their ongoing investigation. It will be up the Medical Examiner's Office to determine the child's exact cause of death.
On Friday night, family members and the community came together in a vigil to grieve. Peoplestown community leaders are setting up a fund to help cover the child's funeral costs.
Sellers waived his first appearance before a Fulton County Magistrate judge on Saturday. He will remain in the Fulton County Jail. His next court date has not yet been scheduled.

Shameless actress from Burnley sparks complaints after antics on BBC's Sport Relief show (From This Is Lancashire)
Shameless actress from Burnley sparks complaints after antics on BBC's Sport Relief show
5:00pm Monday 27th February 2012 in TV By Jonathon Dillon, Assistant news editor
BURNLEY actress Alice Barry showed her 'Shameless' side when she pinched TV presenter Steve Jones's bottom on the BBC's Let's Dance for Sport Relief.
The BBC said it received 30 complaints following Alice's antics on the show, which was broadcast at 7.10pm on Saturday.
But the Shameless star, who plays Lillian Tyler in the Channel 4 series, said those people had 'no sense of humour'.
She had performed as a policewoman to Outside by George Michael on Saturday night's show.
Following her routine, she squeezed co-host Steve Jones's bottom and told him: "That was wonderful. Good workout. I'll tell you what, you've got a lovely bum."
Steve, a former host of the American X Factor, responded: 'That was deep. Let's go to the panel, and I'm going to call my lawyer."
Alice said: It was great fun. I was asked to take part and I knew a routine using George Michael's Outside would have good comedy value.
"Steve is lovely and we had a real laugh about it afterwards.
"I do a lot for charity and it was a joy to take part."Those people who complained have got no sense of humour."
Double Brit award winner Ed Sheeran also parodied Adele by sticking his finger up on the primetime show.
The 21-year-old mimicked the record-breaking star who stuck her middle finger up after being cut-off during her acceptance speech at the Brit Awards on Tuesday.
Former Winter Olympic ski jumper Eddie the Eagle won the show with a routine based on the opening sequence from Austin Powers.
The BBC declined to comment.

I wonder what readers would make of LT if our correspondents could act as writers for a week - say for charity? A chance to throw away the newspaper's style-book, so no hackneyed language or punctuation straight out of 'that'll-do'.

Iowa State linebacker Jake Knott was named th Big 12's Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts in Saturday's Cy-Hawk game.
Knott tallied 6 tackles in the game, however, it was his game saving interception that will be most remembered by both fan bases. With Iowa driving in the final minute, the ISU senior leaped and tipped a James Vandenberg pass to himself sealing the 9-6 victory for the Cyclones.
Knott is the second Cyclone to win a Big 12 honor this season. Punter Kirby Van Der Kamp picked up the special teams award for his efforts against Tulsa in week one.

Polk State Attorney Jerry Hill sent a letter Friday to Lakeland City Manager Doug Thomas suggesting that the city needs to take decisive action towards the Lakeland Police Department and its leadership.
Jerry Hill said, "The Lakeland Police Department has become a second or even third rate agency and an embarrassment to the citizens of Lakeland. It is broken."You can read the letter here.
At a news conference Friday afternoon, Hill said he wouldn't use the word 'fire,' but he thought major changes at the LPD were necessary."The city has known about the culture at the department and has done nothing," he said.He compared Chief Womack to a football coach who couldn't get the team to win."If you're not winning games it's time to make a change," Hill said.
Former LPD officer Julio Pagan is accused of raping a woman while on duty. He made his first appearance before a judge Friday afternoon. He was denied bond.Related story: 09/26/2013 Lakeland police officer arrested
The victim says Pagan came to her home while investigating another incident and forced her to have sex. According to investigators, he then repeatedly came back and asked for sex again. He's facing charges of armed sexual battery and aggravated stalking.Related story: 09/27/2013 Lakeland Police release 911 calls about arrested officer
Lakeland Police Chief Lisa Womack said at a news conference Thursday she is disgusted by the allegations.
"And if it's true, he has shamed each and every member of this department, each and every member of this community," she said. "He not only violated just the woman that he victimized, but he violated the trust of trust of every citizen of Lakeland."

Coal export facility considered for Port of Oakland
UPDATE: The Port of Oakland Board of Commissioners voted to reject the proposals.
A company that operates a coal mine in Colorado is looking to ship its fossil fuel products to Asia via the Port of Oakland.
A coalition of environmental organizations sounded the alarm that the Board of Port Commissioners could agree to consider a lease proposal from Bowie Resource Partners to operate a coal export facility at Oakland's Charles P. Howard Terminal. The board will meet this afternoon.
Another proposal submitted for consideration, from California Capital Group/ Kinder Morgan/ MetroPorts, could also lead to coal exports, said Jess Dervin-Ackerman, Conservation Organizer for the Bay Chapter of the Sierra Club.
"We've really reduced our use of coal in this country, but that means we've just been sending it to Asia," Dervin-Ackerman noted.
In addition to the global concerns about exacerbating climate change by shipping coal to be burned in power plants in Asia, where there are weaker environmental protections, environmentalists are worried that Oakland neighborhoods could be impacted by pollution from rail operations and fine coal dust that could leave airborne traces behind as it is transported to the marine terminals.
Bowie proposed to ship not only coal, but petroleum coke, a pulverized fossil fuel that is illegal to burn in California. Already 128,000 barrels of this product, called petcoke for short, is shipped daily from throughout the state.
Port of Oakland staff, however, has recommended rejecting the proposals from both entities.
"Staff believes that Bowie's proposed use and operation of the property raises environmental concerns related to the handling of commodities such as coal. Environmental concerns about handling commodities such as coal stem primarily from issues of fugitive dust and climate change," a staff report drafted in preparation for today's meeting noted. "Port staff believes that operations such as those proposed by Bowie conflict with recently adopted Port policies and programs intended to create or support environmental sustainability."
The report went on to note that there has been controversy and litigation over coal and coal export facilities along the West Coast.
As things stand, there are active coal and petroleum coke terminals at the Ports of Long Beach, Benicia, and Stockton.
Given the shipping routes and recent controversies surrounding coal export terminals in the Pacific Northwest, "The Bay Area is a prime target" for fossil fuel companies, said Devin-Ackmerman. "These kinds of proposals just pop up overnight."
First comment will be: I hope it fails.
Well it just wouldn't be right if Oakland's main export wasn't crime and poverty.
This is what we put up with eighteen times a day every day of the week here in Montana. Soon these mile and a half long trains will go up to 45-60 trains per day losing 500 pounds of coal dust off of each cart all the way to you on the West Coast.
Fight it now or suck it up later.

and other heavy mining industries.
Be grateful for those trains. You'd be a third world nation without them.
We suck diesel fumes and coal dust 18 times a day here in Montana.
This will go up to 45-60 times per day with the opening of the Otter Creek Coal Basin in Southwest Montana. 500 pound of dust comes off each cart and there are up to 120 carts per train.
Fight against it now or suck it up later.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 14, 2011) – He hadn't raced in 12 ½ months, had not won in over 26 months, and, in the meantime, he had been bred to 35 mares. Little wonder Square Eddie looked like a horse on a mission Friday when he returned from retirement to run lights-out in Santa Anita's allowance feature, the $59,000 Phone Trick Purse.
Ridden by Joel Rosario, the comebacking 5-year-old chestnut overwhelmed his opposition, showing much early speed, en route to a 3 ¼ lengths victory, while timed in 1:13.11, which blistered Santa Anita's previous dirt track mark of 1:13.71 set by Son Of A Pistol on April 4, 1998.
Square Eddie had the credentials to excel despite his lengthy absence. He was second in the 2008 Breeders' Cup Juvenile after winning the Grade I Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland, his most recent victory on Oct. 25, 2008.
The Canadian-bred son of Smart Strike never made it to the Triple Crown races the following spring, however, after suffering a cannon bone injury. He raced six times with little success in 2009 while beset with various ailments including a breathing disorder.
"We've had a lot of mental highs and mental lows with Eddie," owner Paul Reddam said in the winner's circle on Friday. "This is very special today."
Winning trainer Doug O'Neill was ebullient following the victory.
"This is exciting. He bred 35 mares and they did a great job with him down at Vessels (Stallion Farm). He had a high suspensory strain and…I'll be very interested to see how he looks in the morning—if he's knocked out or body-sore. Hopefully we'll find an empty feed tub and a bright, happy horse. We're thinking big races with him, Santa Anita Handicap or Dubai."
Sent off as the 5-2 second choice with Joel Rosario in the saddle, Square Eddie tracked the early pace of Feisty Suances in the field of seven. He took control midway down the backstretch, and, after one left handed tap nearing the wire, Square Eddie was geared down in the closing yards. He paid $7 for the win.
Stacy's Hope, the 9-2 third choice, ran on for second under Victor Espinoza. Feisty Suances, ridden by David Flores, hung on for third 1 ¾ lengths further back at odds of 35-1. Moonlark, the 11-10 favorite, never mounted a serious threat while finishing fourth.
Doug O'Neill, who trains Square Eddie, was very confident in the paddock. "He's been training fabulously," O'Neill said. "He's ready to win." Noted Reddam in explaining the comeback, "He seemed healthy finally, and he hadn't been that great of a sire. So why not?"
"The race didn't unfold like we thought it would," O'Neill said afterward, explaining that he expected Moonlark and unplaced Bradium to be dueling for the lead. "But here we are," O'Neill continued, "up on the lead, and our horse is pulling Joel, and they're going 21-and-two and 43-and-two. But he was in hand, and he was able to finish up real good."
While Square Eddie displayed brilliant speed in his comeback, Reddam had grander ideas. "We've always thought he was a mile-and-one-quarter horse," he said, "so that's the exciting thing."
Square Eddie's comeback win was worth $35,400. The purse boosted his career earnings to $854,766 from an overall record of 3-2-2 in 13 races.
The goal now for Square Eddie, according to O'Neill, is to start in major stakes races for older horses in Southern California.
Santa Anita launches a three-day holiday weekend of racing on Saturday with three graded stakes races highlighted by the Grade II, $150,000 San Fernando Stakes on a nine-race program that commences at 12:30 p.m.

Sundance-winning 'Like Crazy' DP Shares Lessons Learned Shooting on HDSLR
It's easy to forget just how liberating shooting with HDSLRs can be — you can follow your characters down a crowded street, get B-roll while your crew is setting up lights, and generally have the flexibility that a small camera allows you. Last year's Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner, Like Crazy , got a lot of press for the fact that it was shot on a Canon 7D and was acquired by Paramount for $4 million – but less discussed was why it was shot on a 7D and what the challenges and advantages of doing so were. In an interview with HD Magazine, DP John Guleserian delves into these questions and more — revealing how shooting with a HDSLR has impacted his way of shooting in general:
First, in case you haven't heard of the film, here's the trailer:
Shooting with HDSLRs can be challenging: from dealing with moiré issues and rolling shutters, to limited exposure latitudes and mounting film lenses on a still camera. Guleserian points out that although you can manage many of these issues by doing your homework ahead of time, at the end of the day they're still going to impact your shooting — and that's ok. Because the camera opens up other opportunities that he and director Drake Doremus took advantage of — like improvised shooting:
Like when we were in London, shooting. Right when we got off the plane, we were just going to get dinner. Drake decide[s] … to put the actors in the wardrobe and we'll just follow them as we go to dinner, and they'll walk through these crowds of people and maybe we'll get something that we can use in the movie. And that was literally me with a 7D body and a 32mm lens and a Zacuto viewfinder finding my own focus, leaning on things to be stable, and hoping for the best.
In the end, not only did they have a film that captured spontaneous performances, but they were pleased at how well the images stood up on the big screen. Guleserian reasons:
A lot of people can figure it out right away, [but] … most people have no idea what it was shot on or care. Storytelling isn't about resolution or compression.
Couldn't have said it better myself. It's easy to get caught up in the hype of the next biggest, greatest camera, but there is plenty we can do with the cameras available to us today. In the end, these are tools with their own pros and cons, and part of the craft of filmmaking is figuring out how we can make these tools' features work for our stories. One of the HDSRL's greatest assets is the shooting flexibility they offer, and it's an asset we sometimes forget in trying to make them more like their bigger more film-purposed camera brethren.
For the full article go here, the full interview (not quoted in its entirety in the article) is included as an audio file, so make sure to check that out as he goes into more detail about how they managed the DSLR's limitations by way of their shooting style.
[via HD Magazine]
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!

There are great examples of TV shows like The Borgias and Luck on HBO that shoot mainly on something like an Alexa, yet use a Canon 5D or 7D for shots where the camera may be damaged or needs to go where the big camera can't fit. It does take some extra work to make it fit in with the other shots, but most people will not notice the change to the Canon in an hour long show.
Harry on 03.29.12 @ 9:29PM
Yeah it shot was on DSLRs, the film was OK photographed, everything else, plot, story, acting were utter garbage, no clue how they won any awards or any publicity. I hated the characters and the whole visa thing was retarded, she couldn't leave and come back as a tourist? no she couldnt because then the filmmakers wouldnt have any 'premise' for the 'conflict'.
enooesiweht on 04.1.12 @ 5:24AM
If you lived and loved abroad you'd know it's actually a pretty big deal.
Natt on 04.2.12 @ 4:03PM
In the third world maybe
RobertK on 04.5.12 @ 4:35PM
Since it was actually based on a real visa incident with the director's now-ex-wife, I'm pretty sure it's not a third world thing: http://blog.moviefone.com/2011/10/28/drake-doremus-like-crazy-interview/ Saying you didn't like the characters, story, or whatever is one thing. Saying that it could never happen, however, is just not true. Especially after 9/11.
What?, harry, you know Adam sandler's twin sister is him. He doesn't have a twin. It won best movie of the year. So much for your opinion of a movie needing to be credible.,what? It didn't win best movie??hey Harry ' guess what? You can make a professional looking movie and have it released for next to nothing. Really. Welcome to the world of no more excuses for really talented people.
5 seconds behind guy on 03.29.12 @ 9:35PM
Another fine example of style over substance. Sadly, it seems that HDSLR films and lack of content go hand in hand. How many times can we see pretty shots of people standing around, walking around, not doing much else. Snore.
John Jeffreys on 03.29.12 @ 9:43PM
The latitude is "limited" relative to 35mm, or the newer digital cinema cameras (that were made as a reaction to DSLR's), but it absolutely blows away the crap camcorders that we had to tolerate for years and years
Laurel on 03.29.12 @ 9:44PM
Wheer is the link to the audio interview? Cant find it….
E.M. Taboada on 03.29.12 @ 11:47PM
In the linked article it should be right above the trailer. Here's a direct link, just in case you can't find it http://soundcloud.com/mm-pubs/shooting-like-crazy
I shot this movie a few years ago on the Canon 7D.
We shot on DSLRs for budgetary reasons. It was an improv comedy that was usually shot with 2-3 cameras exploring a scene in a documentary fashion, watching and moving with the talent as they grew and changed their performances from take to take. Some people thought it was shot on the RED (not saying that it looks great) but I'm proud of what we did on a small budget. I think this is one of those indie films that is much better than its cinematography. The end product was both funny and moving and the storytelling was solid.
Casey on 03.30.12 @ 2:11PM
The trailer looks great. Would love to check it out.
I'm sure that the producers are still looking for some type of distribution. It will probably be on HULU at some point.
What are you working on now? You should be working on something.
Flexibility is really great about DSLRs. I was shooting a film in which birds play a little but distinct role and all off them, we knew, had to be done digitally. I made my homework on how to create them in CGI and they look convincing, especially because they just fly by in the blurred background or get reflected in a car window. But I knew that having NO real birds in this film at all would make my efforts to make the artificial ones look real seem a bit bashful. Also it was winter – not the season of birds. Yet, one day in January I sat in a friends room, eating noodles and this flock of sparrows suddenly occupies the tree right in front of his rooms window. Luckily, a DSLR is something that I can always take with me and mostly do so, and suddenly I had beautifully fitting footage for my film with the background even matching the location I had shot my film on. Of course you rarely have such luck, but when you do, it's great to have a camera around that shoots footage that will even stand the test of the big screen.
Crown on 03.30.12 @ 2:25AM
Hey David blue Garcia.Do you use ProRes?
I usually convert my 7d footage to Prores HQ. Why?
Whether or now people think this film is 'garbage' or 'style over substance' is completely irrelevant for this article (I, for one, found the film to be a refreshing slice of reality, very well acted, and I'm also aware that these visa issues happen with an alarming frequency, so it's hardly "retarded"). The fact that a film was made on a 7D and garnered so much interest is a testament to the DP and the director's vision. It was a risk, and it paid off. It was also a very inspirational move, which I'm sure has inspired many, and convinced many others that the DSLR can compete with the 'big boys'. I've worked on films where a 7D or 5D2 has been used as a second camera to an Alexa or Red One, and when done right the results have been excellent.
People already seem to forget that it wasn't very long ago when the 'filmic look' was out of the grasp of the budget filmmaker. I'm only a few years out of film school, but would have sold my granny for a small, affordable camera capable of these results!
Hats off to John Guleserian, I say!
Vikas on 03.30.12 @ 2:57AM
David, loved the trailer of your film 'An ordinary family'! Is there any way to see it? :-)
Sadly, the only way to see it right now is in film festivals. The producers are seeking distribution. With so many indies being made it's hard to get a foot in the door. The Director had some success with his previous film "Chalk."
Lanre on 03.30.12 @ 5:59AM
I have had several situations where i have to work with the Red One camera and Canon 5D, but in all those situations, most people can't even tell the difference. With a little color grading here and there, the pictures look pretty much alike. I think we (filmmakers) should concentrate on getting the best stories out, regardless of the tools.
Gandu an Indian underground film from Bangladeshi filmmaker Q was shot 7D few years ago, I think he literally was the crew. Did major film festivals last year.
moebius22 on 03.30.12 @ 10:56AM
Will check it out.
Demetri on 03.30.12 @ 8:19AM
In terms of stealth shooting in the airport — that's nothing a "Side handled" Scarlet or Epic can't do. Though they do it with real cinema quality.
John Jeffreys on 03.30.12 @ 1:59PM
RED's are just not cut out for natural, handheld, spontaneous shooting. The batteries dont last very long, it has a fan which could pick up on the audio (and it has moving parts = more stuff to break), and to top it off when you shoot in public with a big shiny grey and black brick that looks (and is) expensive, you'll be a target of not only pigs/security who ask for permits, but also people that want to jack your stuff. A DSLR looks like any other still camera, and people dont pay much attention to it.
moebius22 on 03.30.12 @ 10:44AM
It's all about coming up with a concept that is engaging. People keep thinking that you need a $10,000+ camera to get into the big leagues. Get a studios attention, and you won't have to worry about such things.
I would like to watch this movie now, but that seems impossible as I live in Norway.
I don't own a Blu-ray player (and can't find a reason to), so the only option is to buy the dvd.
It says it comes with a Ultraviolet-license, but that appears to only work in the US and the UK.
The time it took me to find out that I can't watch this movie now is probably the same it would take me to download it in blueray-quality from a torrent.
Please, can someone throw the old DVD-regions overboard.
Hear hear.
Can you point me in the direction of affordable editing software options? Looking to buy a laptop and software. I see a lot of production accessories on your site but not much post.
Will Gilbey on 03.31.12 @ 11:53AM
Reasons to own a Blu-ray player? Watch Blade Runner on Blu on a good system and you'd find it hard not to be a convert. As for regions – they need to go. Drives me crazy and definitely leads to torrenting from people who'd be happy to buy.
Yes, it would be great to see good movies in better resolution than DVD, but I have no need for a physical disc. Therefore I would rather download the movie in HD-quality than buy another shelf and a player for blu-ray.
Would it be almost legal if I buy the DVD and then download it from a torrent site?
Ryan on 04.1.12 @ 11:53AM
I think Zeiss Ultra Primes should have some mention somewhere, it might change a few perspectives
nate martin on 04.2.12 @ 1:21PM
I watched "Like Crazy" because of this post and wanted to see for myself whether the content was that bland or not. The trailer was great and really sparked my interest also. My first impression as of the end credits was that it was a cool concept and I was a fan of the choppy style which I think really brought out the emotion of the film. I'm not an expert on acting so I thought it was pretty good but nothing really blew me away about it. I would say it was a good indie film that had appeal.
Although I would agree with those above comments regarding the over abundance of films shot on DSLR's with people just standing around in various places looking cool. I'm so thankful that we live in a time where amateurs like myself have the access to the tools and resources to create great media. But on the other hand it also opens the door for people to want to create good looking media with little concept of content and style. I try to be respectful to the online media world by keeping my average videos offline and working towards creating something that is worth other peoples time to watch.
Some people think they are suddenly a filmmaker because they can turn the dial on their DSLR to video mode, slap on a 50 mm lens and have background blurred out like in real movies.
So "Like Crazy" was a good movie that I would recommend watching because it has great style and an interesting concept behind it. It could have been a great movie if they would have had stronger conflict between all of the characters.
Hey guys!
I just watched the movie. Can somebody explain me what would be their exporting workflow with the compressed h264 files? They got so sharp slow-mo (60p) in a scene that it looks so much different from my Canon 60D exported files…

A new study provides guidance for doctors trying to determine if a man has aggressive prostate cancer. Researchers at Kaiser Permanente studied the medical records of more than 200,000 men, age 45 and older, who had not been diagnosed with prostate cancer. They found looking at a man's PSA test results over a period of several years was a better predictor of aggressive prostate cancer than a single measurement. They also found a majority of men saw their PSA score increase three percent each year. The researchers say this could help doctors distinguish which cancers are progressing quickly, from those that are slow-growing and don't need treatment. PSA tests are recommended for men who have symptoms of prostate cancer, like trouble using the bathroom.

An accidental house fire killed three people in Richland, GA Sunday night. Stewart County Sheriff Larry Jones told News Leader 9 a volunteer fireman and another man noticed smoke coming from a home on 168 Caboose Street around 7:30 p.m. The men forced their way inside the home and saw three people inside. They removed the victims from the home and tried to perform CPR, but they were already dead. Officials confirmed the body of Willie Pearl Walton, 88, was found near a doorway. Her children, 65-year-old Barbara Ann Walton and 59-year-old Ernest Clyde Walton, were found near their beds. News Leader 9 was told Ernest had been confined to a wheelchair for many years. The victims all lived together in the older wooden home, which had a wood burning stove. Authorities believe the victims died from smoke inhalation – they had very few burns on their bodies. Neighbors and other family members helped Richland firefighters in the attempt to save the family. The Georgia Department of Insurance says Sunday night's fire was accidental. Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens told News Leader 9 the cause of the fire was "unattended cooking on the stove."
"With this tragedy in Richland, we've had 18 fire deaths so far this year, with 5 related to unattended cooking in February," Hudgens said. "I urge Georgian to use extreme caution while cooking and heating their homes."
The victims' autopsies will be performed on Wednesday in Atlanta.
