Mississippi State University and Blair E. Batson Children Hospital have partnered together to raise money and awareness for the only children's hospital in the state of Mississippi.
Spearheaded by the Mississippi State Student Association and Co-Director of Late Night Events Brett Harris, the "On Your Mark, Get Set, GLOW 5k Run" is set for February 7 and will start at 7 o'clock at night on Mississippi State's Starkville campus. The run will feature local Golden Triangle Area disc jockeys positioned along the three-mile route and has already created an enormous buzz around campus.
Thursday and Friday night were the final regular season games for head coach William Cotton and his Hebron Christian Lady Eagles in Pheba as they closed out MAIS district 3-A play before the district tournament.
Thursday was a must win game for the Lady Eagles hosting Calhoun Academy as Hebron sat with a 2-4 district record after a narrow 42-41 victory over Kemper Academy Tuesday. In another tightly contested match-up, the Lady Eagles used a gutsy third quarter to pull away from the Lady Cougars picking up the needed win 48-41.
The West Point Green Wave returned to district 2 5-A action Friday night playing host to the Oxford Chargers. Both teams entered the night with 1-1 records and hoped to pick up their second win in district play.
The night started out well for Oxford as the Chargers took an early 12-2 lead over the Wave after three minutes of play in the first quarter. West Point though cranked up and tore through Oxford with a 19-6 run closing out the quarter ahead 21-19. After taking the lead late in the first, the Wave never relinquished their hold on the game going on to win 81-67.
Right now, we as a nation are 16 trillion dollars in debt, the current administration has not submitted a budget since it took over in 2010, there is no job creation, gas is over $3 a gallon and continuing to rise and everyone's taxes just went up to support a presidential mandate that nobody wanted. The main thing that seems to be bothering the media is....Beyonce was lip syncing when she sang at the inauguration. Really people? Really?
When Wayne and Loretta Vice said goodbye to their friends of 41 years Sherree and Carl Harris after a New Year's visit in 2011, they had no idea it was the last time they would see Carl alive.
On January 26, 2011, the dedicated husband and Air Force veteran suffered a massive heart attack and died.
It was sudden, and the pain is still with all of the friends and family he left behind.
"I still miss him today," Wayne Vice said in a phone interview from Louisiana on Friday. "My kids still miss him. They probably loved him as much as we did. He's still here in our minds."
If your driver's license is close to expiring, or you're planning to get one for the first time, you're going to have to get it somewhere besides West Point.
The office located by the 4-H Extension Service and the county jail has been closed until further notice.
Warren Strain, spokesperson for the Mississippi Highway Patrol said on Friday that "computer infrastructure" problems were the cause of the sudden closure.
"It has to do with computer wiring," Strain said. "We have to temporarily close the station until it is replaced."
Archie Anderson "Arch' Murray never got the chance to enter the race for West Point mayor like he wanted to in 1968.
He passed away on May 25 of that year, but his legacy of commitment to his employees at Babcock and Wilcox Company and to the the West Point/Clay County community make Murray a strong nominee for the West Point Hall of Fame.
Murray will join the HOF posthumously on Thursday night, along with Kyle Chandler III, who remains a vital part of this community.
So they've given their opening arguments, put witnesses on the stand, entered photos and materials into evidence and examined each and every person called to testify. But sometimes prosecuting attorneys and defense attorneys need one last chance to convince the 12-member jury the defendant is guilty or not guilty of committing a crime.
That's where closing arguments come in.
Not many would argue that West Point is not one of the most artistically rich communities in north Mississippi.
It is not just the citizenry's love for art that drives events like the Prairie Arts Festival each fall. It's the literal raw talent that so many in the community possess and express.
The unique blend of paintings, drawings, potteries, films, music etc. drive the love of art in this town.
It has also driven the West Point/Clay County Arts Council to start the first "Art Walk" in West Point.
We are living in a time today that may be described as fast and furious. We eat at fast food restaurants, pay for our groceries in express lanes, have our vehicles serviced at jiffy lubes and get advances on our paychecks at quick cash.
Our fast paced lifestyles have given birth to such names as Stop & Go, Fastbreak, Fastlane, Rapid refund, Quick Keys and B-Quick. Everything we do now is so urgent that it must be done faster than right now.

That decision will follow a campus-wide discussion that began after the company's donations to charities that have been described as anti-gay made national news beginning this summer.
In an advisory vote, members of the university's Student Government Association voted 35 to 11 during a Thursday night meeting that Chick-fil-A should not remain on campus. The Pendulum, Elon's student newspaper, has taken the editorial position that Chick-fil-A should remain on campus.
The company's food is offered as a choice in a food court in the university's student center. If it were to remain on campus, its food would be sold beginning in January in a new dining hall opening on campus. Otherwise, another vendor would be selected as one of three choices there.
Dan Anderson, an Elon spokesman and one of the university's vice presidents, said Chick-fil-A is on campus through Aramark, a food services provider that contracts with the company to provide food on campus. Despite that relationship, he said, Elon could instruct Aramark to find another vendor to take Chick-fil-A's place.
"The SGA asked that we not make a decision at that time," he said.
Spectrum, which describes itself as a "queer-straight alliance" on campus, drafted the resolution approved by the Student Government Association. The resolution says Chick-fil-A's presence on campus does not fit the university's non-discrimination policy and says students who want to eat the company's food have two other choices near campus.
Darien Flowers, executive president of Elon's Student Government Association, said at the end of the Thursday night meeting he will talk with others before deciding whether to sign off on or veto the resolution. A veto could be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote of the association's senators.
MOST SPEAKERS during an open forum that preceded the Student Government Association's vote favored the resolution, though some argued against it. Common themes among supporters were that Chick-fil-A's presence on campus is inconsistent with the university's emphasis on inclusiveness and is hurtful to gay and lesbian students. Some opponents argued freedom of choice among students is the best solution to the issue.
Lauren Clapp, a Spectrum officer, said she wrote the legislation later approved by the Student Government Association.
Rather than a singling out of Chick-fil-A, she said, "This conversation … is part of a bigger conversation about holding our community accountable to its stated values."
Emily Kane, another Spectrum officer, described herself as "queer" and said she went through conversion therapy as a teenager as part of efforts within a church setting to change people's sexual orientation.
"There are times when I hated myself to the core," she said. "This issue is directly affecting people on Elon's campus."
Elon student Robert Orr said a decision to remove Chick-fil-A could set "a great precedent" and asked, "Is this university prepared to inspect … the giving records of every person and entity that it is connected to?"
Student Government Association member Patrick Brown later asked if Elon could say students would not be allowed on campus based on their contributions to organizations.
A NON-SCIENTIFIC, online Pendulum poll found 64 percent opposed to the removal of Chick-fil-A from campus, with 29 percent in favor.

Air Force is next to move to DoD enterprise email
Thursday - 3/22/2012, 10:25pm EDT
By Jason Miller
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
The number of military services preparing to move their email systems to the Defense Information Systems Agency's cloud is growing.
The Air Force has committed to following the Army and using DISA's enterprise email services, and the Department of the Navy is in discussions as well, said Teri Takai, the Defense Department's chief information officer.
"It's our intention that at the completion of Army, Air Force will begin to move to the enterprise email. We are working with the Navy now," Takai said. "It's very important we move across DoD and email is, in many ways, a forcing function. What we need to get to is a single directory and with that a single identity management solution."
And that identity management system would open up a host of new services and cyber protections for DoD.
"This would give us the opportunity to create a directory to implement many of the collaboration tools we have today on an enterprise-wide basis," Takai said. "I could see a situation where if we have to set up operations someplace brand new, rather than building tools from the bottom up and have to bring in hardware and set up new services, we could plug into the enterprise services, and people would have functionality very quickly."
She added the services are using different collaboration tools currently but few in a DoD-wide approach.
Takai said the Army's experience is key to alleviating concerns by the Air Force, the Navy and other DoD agencies.
In addition to the Navy and Air Force, Army CIO Lt. Gen. Susan Lawrence said at a conference earlier this week that the Pentagon's Joint Staff and the National Security Agency have asked to come on board enterprise email. DoD joint combatant commands, including the U.S. European Command and the Africa Command, are part of the current migration. DoD's Southern Command has asked to join in as well.
One piece to the cloud puzzle
The move to enterprise email also is part of a larger effort around cloud computing, which includes data center consolidation. Takai said DoD already has closed 57 data centers in 2011 and scheduled 97 more to close in 2012which is up from its original goal of 67. In all, Takai said the plan is to decrease the number of data centers across DoD to 480 from 772 by 2014.
"What we are finding as we are going into the data centers, we are getting more familiar and comfortable with what each of the data centers are doing," she said. "The services are doing a terrific job at looking not only at floor space but applications and duplications in the applications we are running as well as virtualization. As we are getting into more detail, we are finding opportunities we didn't recognize when we did the first look at the number of data centers."
New cloud strategy
DoD soon will issue a cloud computing strategy and a corresponding set of standards for industry. Takai said the strategy could be out by the end of April.
"It really does address all aspects of what we believe DoD needs to look at in terms of cloud computing," she said. "First of all, we believe cloud computing and the whole concept of services is a very important concept for us going forward, not only from the standpoint that it gives us the opportunity to get capabilities out more quickly, but we will be able to protect that capability in a much better way than we can today where our functionality is distributed all over across 15,000 networks."
Takai said DoD initially will move to private clouds, but over time DoD would like to use commercial cloud capabilities, which is where the new document comes in.
She said FedRAMP, the cloud computing security standards program, will play a key role in this effort for DoD.
All of these efforts point to key changes at DoD.
"We are moving to more standardized, more service-oriented architectures," Takai said. "We will be looking less to building capabilities from what I call the ground floor up or the entire stack. We will be starting with the standard platforms we have and how we build capabilities on that much faster."

The Portland Guardian was mindful of the contribution made by the early pioneers toward developing the south-west. They offered regular items titled "Passing of the Pioneers" or "Passing Pioneers" and often mentioned in obituaries that "…one by one are old pioneers are passing". As early as 1889, they were lamenting the loss of the links to the early settlers and suggesting that the efforts of those who passed be recognised.
In 1921, the paper spoke of the many unwritten histories that had gone before, but now we can see The Portland Guardian lived up to its charter of 1889, successfully recording the histories of many of the local pioneers. By doing so they are now helping us learn more of our families and gain a sense of life in the early days of the Western District. Of course, The Guardian was not alone. References to the "passing pioneers" are found in most of the papers on the Trove website.
Obituaries are a secondary source with the information coming from the knowledge of those still living and I have noticed errors in obituaries of my family. But they can offer leads to look in places you may never of thought of such as Masonic lodge records and local council records. What ever you do or don't get out of an obituary, no-one can deny they are often a good read.
July was a month when many "Passing of the Pioneers" columns appeared. Cold winters in the south-west saw many of the older residents "cross the Great Divide" as the Guardian would put it.
Some of the more notable passing pioneers in the month of July were:
James PARKER: Died July 6, 1889, Heywood. James PARKER'S obituary is an interesting read. Born in Tasmania, he came to the mainland as a whaler. Later he had some luck at the Creswick goldfields only to have an encounter with bushranger Captain Moonlight.
William TULLOH: Died July 19, 1889, Portland. This is a lengthy obituary of a Portland resident of nearly 50 years, whose death saw half closed shutters on homes around the town. Born in Scotland in 1812, he left a wife, four sons and a daughter at the time of his passing. I have found a site with more detail of William and his wife Eliza Mary KEARTON.
James BARNETT: Died July 18, 1892, Portland. James was known as "Old Barney" around Portland and while the Guardian credit him as a pioneer, they make judgement in saying that he did not make the most of his opportunities as other early settlers had done.
Alex THOMSON: Died July 1897, Hamilton. Scottish born Alex THOMSON was prominent around the Hamilton area as a Shire of Dundas Councillor for 21 years. At the time of his death he was the owner of Pierrepoint Estate near Hamilton and was also an active member of the Pastoral and Agricultural society.
Mr Thomas Webb SMITH: Died July 29, 1914, Branxholme. Thomas served on the Borough of Portland council and was mayor from November 1871-November 1873. He was also a member of the Goodfellows and Freemasons.
Annie Maria HENTY: Died July 2, 1921, Hamilton. Annie was from the most famous south-west pioneering family of them all, the Henty's. The daughter of Stephen HENTY, Annie married Hamilton stock and station agent Robert STAPLYTON BREE in 1874. The Bree name is preserved in Hamilton with a much used road of the same name in the town.
Ann Eliza KEEPING: Died July 9, 1921, Portland. Annie Eliza KEEPING arrived in Australia aboard the "Eliza" and married John FINNIGAN in 1857. She was 82 at the time of her death.
Joseph Bell PEARSON: Died July 7, 1922, Portland. Yet another interesting character. According to his obituary, Joseph was born on the voyage from England to Tasmania. His family moved to the Retreat estate near Casterton in 1844. He was a noted horseman, with several good racehorses which he would ride himself. One of his jumps racing rivals was Adam Lindsay Gordon.
Mrs Sarah BEAUGLEHOLE: Died July 7, 1923, Gorae West. Sarah was the wife of the late Richard BEAUGHLEHOLE and she died at 73. Richard selected land at Gorae West and transformed swampland into flourishing orchards. Sarah and Richard had 12 children.
Mary HEDDITCH: Died July 1, 1930, Drik Drik. Mary HEDDITCH was born in Portland in 1844 and moved with her family to Bridgewater in 1846. Her elder brother drowned when she was a teenager leaving her to take on some of his duties. As a result she became an accomplished horsewoman, helping her father with the cattle. She married James MALSEED and together they had seven children.
Mrs Phillipa DELLAR: July, 1931, Portland. Mrs DELLAR, the daughter of a doctor, was herself something of a substitute doctor for those living in the Willenbrina area, near Warracknabeal. Later she and her husband William DELLAR moved to the Portland district. They had nine children.

Men's Lacrosse Dominates Second Half in 13-10 over League Rival Queens
March 24, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Trailing 7-3 at the half, Pfeiffer University roared back to score five goals in the third and fourth quarters to secure a 13-10 Conference Carolinas victory over Queens University of Charlotte on Saturday afternoon. The win moves the Falcons to 8-3 overall, 2-0 in league play while sending the Royals to 4-4, 0-1.
James Shepherd started the day's scoing 1:45 into the contest while Tucker Hammock later tallied an equalizing goal with 5:08 remaining in the first. Shepherd would hit again just over a minute later as each team saw a 3-3 score after the first 15 minutes.
Queens took control scoring all four goals in the second quarter with two of those coming in a man-up situation. Three of the Royals goals on the day came with the advantage as Pfeiffer committed six penalties on the day for 4:30. Queens would end up with eight totaling 6:30.
Justin Rose would start the Falcon comeback with his only goal of the day just 44 ticks after the break. Hammock would assist on a Shepherd goal two minutes later while Cole Sheen and Steven Tilmon hit back-to-back just 32 seconds apart. Sheen would close out the third quarter while his second of three as Pfeiffer squared the contest at eight-all heading into the fourth.
Robert Hope would give the hosts the lead for good 1:35 into the final period on another assist from Hammock. Hammock would add insurance just a couple of minutes later while Sheen, Elliot Gilbert and Shepherd added three more in the closing minutes.
Hayden Kirk would stop eight shots in goal for the win while Luke Gillespie picked up four groundballs.
Pfeiffer returns to competition on Wednesday hosting Belmont Abbey at 4:00 p.m. Live stats will be available at http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Sharks prop Danie Saayman scored a try after the full-time hooter to snatch a 28-25 Absa Currie Cup victory against Western Province at Newlands on Saturday.
With time up on the clock, the Sharks were awarded a penalty inside the red zone, from which Saayman was driven over. Referee Jonathan Kaplan referred the decision to the TMO, who gave the green light after seeing the replay.
The Sharks were facing defeat when they trailed 18-25 with 15 minutes to go, but Butch James began the comeback with a penalty.
The Natalians appeared to have scored again when a grubber from replacement centre Gcobani Bobo resulted in a five-pointer for AJ Venter. However, Kaplan reversed his decison to award the try after the touch judge raised a flag for an earlier off-the-ball charge from James on Gio Aplon.
To make things worse for the visitors, James was yellow carded and walked off to a chorus of boos, although he did return to play a part in the match-winning try.
Overall, it was a hot-and-cold performance from Dick Muir's side.
They spent the majority of the opening quarter inside WP territory, but the Sharks backline failed to round off a number of try-scoring opportunties set up by the pack.
A penalty from James was small reward for several attacks on the Province tryline, but the visitors finally went over on the 20-minute mark when Dusty Noble finished off a move that began inside their half. A clever inside pass from Odwa Ndungane had put Grant Rees into space, who in turn found Noble on his outside.
WP hit back almost immediately when Corne Uys received posession on the blind side, chipped over the Sharks defenders and regathered to score in the left-hand corner.
A turnover then saw Chumani Booi break away down the right-hand touchline and offload to Aplon, who shrugged off the tackle of Scott Mathie to score near the posts. Naas Olivier again missed the conversion to leave the teams locked at 10-all.
The Sharks should have regained the lead just before the break when Noble found space on the left, but Adrian Jacobs took the tackle when he had Mathie in the clear on his outside. Not surprisingly, the ball was turned over and kicked into touch by Peter Grant.
It was WP who edged in front after half-time, when another turnover coupled with missed tackles from Jacobs and Rees saw Aplon score his second in the corner.
Grant, having taken over the kicking duties, missed the touchline conversion, but then kicked a penalty to give Province an eight-point lead.
Just when it looked like the game was slipping away from the Sharks, James put Noble into space and he sent Brett Hennessey away for their second try. James's conversion attempt went wide, but he made ammends soon after with a penalty that levelled the scores at 18-all.
WP's pack has copped their fair share of criticism over the years, but it was a well-executed driving maul that saw captain Luke Watson grab his side's bonus-point try.
However, it was the Sharks who finished strongly and took the full five points from a match they probably should have lost.
WP - Tries: Corne Uys, Gio Aplon (2), Luke Watson. Conversion: Peter Grant. Penalty: Grant.
Sharks - Tries: Dusty Noble, Brett Hennessey, Danie Saayman. Conversions: Butch James (2). Penalties: James (3).

For the second time in three weeks, LA Galaxy forward Robbie Keane has been named Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters.
Keane earned the honors after scoring two goals and tallying one assist in LA's 3-0 romp over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday. The honor is Keane's second Player of the Week award of the season and the fourth for a member of the Galaxy. The Irishman will be unavailable this week for the club's match against the Colorado Rapids due to international duty.
With his two goals, Keane now has 12 goals and 10 assists With double digit goals and assists, Keane joins Landon Donovan (2005), Mauricio Cienfuegos, Cobi Jones & Welton (all 1998) in the Galaxy's double, double club.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy reserves played to a scoreless draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday at StubHub Center's University Field.
The complete match recap of the game is on LAGalaxy.com. LA are unbeaten in their last six reserve matches going 4-0-2 in that time. My sidebar on the match, which focuses on the positions up for grabs this week with players away on international duty can be read here.
Although his team remains undefeated in their last six matches, reserve team head coach Curt Onalfo was disappointed with his team's showing.
"It's a game where we should have won the game. We had a majority of the possession, a majority of the chances and we were unable to get through," said Onalfo. "There were a lot of good things. I think that we battled really hard, we worked for each other and except for one moment where they hit the post, we didn't give much away. In a game when you stake our six or seven good chances to their one, you should walk away winning the game. In my mind, we lost two points and it puts the onus on us for the last two reserve games to get the points that we need to win the reserve league."
The Galaxy reserves return to action next Sunday against the Colorado Rapids.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy are steadily climbing the Western Conference standings and after their 3-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes, they sit just five points behind Supporters' Shield leaders Real Salt Lake—with two games in hand.
The reason for LA's impressive four game unbeaten run and three game winning streak in league play? Simple. Forwards Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane.
During the Galaxy's four-game unbeaten streak in league play, Keane and Donovan have accounted for 10 of LA's 11 goals scored, and they have combined for 16 goals and 14 assists in the 11 games that they've played together this season.
On Saturday, they were once again effective as their movement on and off the ball caused havoc for the Earthquakes defense as Donovan scored the opener before Keane notched a brace in the California Clásico victory.
When you ask the pair about their recent run of form, they both provide the same answer: They're just happy to be on the field together.
"I feel real good about how I'm playing. I'm just enjoying it a lot, I'm really happy out there. The energy seems to come to me really easy right now and I think when I'm energetic I create a lot of chances," said Donovan. "It doesn't mean I'm always going to score, but if I'm energetic I think I'm always going to be effective and that's what I'm trying to do right now."
"I know I was out for a few weeks [back in July] but I keep saying I don't like being injured, it's frustrating," said Keane. "So it's just nice to be back playing and scoring the goals and helping the team progress and get the points on the board."
CARSON, Calif. – The California Clásico is always a physical battle with plenty of knocks and bumps on both sides and in the closing stages of Saturday's 3-0 LA Galaxy victory over the San Jose Earthquakes, defender A.J. DeLaGarza felt the brunt of that physical play.
In the 82nd minute, Earthquakes forward Steven Lenhart crashed into DeLaGarza on a set piece opportunity that left the defender on the ground. A minute later, DeLaGarza was removed from the match in favor of Michael Stephens as the effects of the injury still lingered.
Following the match, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena said that DeLaGarza simply suffered a knock that was not serious and the defender echoed those statements.
"I'll be fine. I'm sure that it'll be a nice Charlie horse in the morning. He got me in my thigh and he clearly went out of his way to do that," said DeLaGarza. "They'll look at it and he's obviously a repeat offender and whatever happens, happens."
Although he literally "took one for the team," DeLaGarza was simply pleased to get a result that sealed LA's fourth straight win and third straight shutout.
"It's big and the confidence is definitely rising. To get a shutout in Vancouver and two at home is positive," said DeLaGarza. "We're all making those plays now that we weren't making earlier in the year.
"We got three points and a shutout where they didn't have many chances on goal so it's a real positive."
CARSON, Calif. – Bruce Arena's thoughts following the LA Galaxy's 3-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes…
(On the match as a whole…)
ARENA: "I think our team played well tonight. San Jose played real hard in the first half, came out hard. The first goal was very important. I think they threw a lot into the game in the first half. You can see in the second half they lost their legs a little bit. Our team played well. It was a game winner. As the game went on, our passing improved. I thought we scored some good goals. Overall, a good performance. A good team effort."
(On Franklin's play out wide and whether he'd stay there indefinitely…)
ARENA: "I can't tell you that. We've played that way a fair number of times this year. Sean has played right midfield over a number of years. It's not a new position for him."
(On DeLaGarza's injury status…)
ARENA: "I think that he just took a knock. I don't think that it's serious."
(On the importance of the game with four internationals missing next week…)
ARENA: "Every game is important. What can I tell you? The next game is important. I'm asked that question game every week. They are all very important. We want to win every time we step onto the field. They are all important at this point in the season."
(On the play of the Earthquakes…)
ARENA: "Mike Stephens made a mistake at the end of the game, which probably gave them their best chance. They had a couple shots from distance throughout the game. There may have been a corner kick in the second half, as well. They were dangerous. Overall, our entire group played very well. Our backline was fantastic. Jaime has a good presence in the goal, as well."
On the play of Jaime Penedo:
"He's an experienced goalkeeper. When called on, he's come up for us in the last three or four games. He's certainly going to get tested a little bit more. I think he's played very well. He's given up two goals in four games. Jaime's obviously doing well."
Look ahead to San Jose: The LA Galaxy looking to get first home win against the San Jose Earthquakes since 2011
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will take on the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday in the latest edition of the California Clasico. On Saturday, LA will be looking for their first victory against the San Jose Earthquakes at home since Aug. 2011.
More on the match below...
*The San Jose Earthquakes will be without three of their key players as Rafael Baca, Victor Bernandez, and Justin Morrow are suspended.
*For more on the Earthquakes, I spoke to San Jose reporter Robert Jonas.
*There's no love lost between these two teams as Sean Franklin admits that niether of these two teams care for one another.
*LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan offers this preview to the match.
*Lastly, my Three Points to the game.
Landon Donovan vs. Jason Hernandez
Without Victor Bernardez due to suspension, Hernandez will be stepping in for San Jose. Although the 30-year-old is an experienced defender, he does not have the physicality of the Honduran center back and is expected to be a major target for Donovan and Robbie Keane.
Gyasi Zardes vs. Steve Beitashour
With each passing match, Gyasi Zardes continues to become a focal point of the Galaxy attack and expect him to be a major part of the game plan against San Jose. With Beitashour looking to press forward, expect Zardes to try to catch him on the counter.
Chris Wondolowski vs. Omar Gonzalez
This battle of the titans will likely decide this match. Wondolowski's effectiveness has been limited due to the Earthquakes' more restrained attacking style, but he'll still seek to get behind Gonzalez and create chances.
Penedo; DeLaGarza, Gonzalez, Leonardo, Dunivant; Jimenez, Sarvas, Juninho, Zardes; Donovan, Keane
Ahead of tonight's California Clasico, LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena and players Todd Dunivant and Hector Jimenez preview the match against the San Jose Earthquakes.
Check it out below..
CARSON, Calif. – The California Clásico is back, considered by many to be the vicious rivalry in all of MLS.
Earlier this week, I spoke to several members of the Galaxy defense about the ferocity of the Clásico.
Their thoughts are below…
SEAN FRANKLIN: "The recent games have been high scoring with goals in the last minute and we had a tough playoff series as well, so we've got plenty of history. It's a team that we don't like and we know that they don't like us, so it's going to be a tough game."
TODD DUNIVANT: "They're going to be hungry and they always circle our games as the biggest of their year. It's a rivalry that has been there for a long time especially the last year-and-a-half. Going back to last year, going back to Stanford Stadium this year, there's been a lot of heated games and a lot of exciting games, unfortunately we've been on the rough end of a couple of them. It's going to be a big game and we expect them to give nothing but their best."
A.J. DELAGARZA: "This is a team where we've left points on the table in the last couple of years. It's a game that we get up for and it's the California Clásico, so it's a rivalry game. We're going to need to play well and get a W because they're missing three key guys and we have to take advantage of that. At the same time, we know that they can bring in experienced guys as well."
It was a big week for Jaime Penedo, who took home MLS Latino of the Week and Save of the Week honors.
Penedo is expected to get the start in net against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday and will then depart for Panama ahead of their World Cup qualifiers against Jamaica and Honduras next week.
Earlier this week, Penedo was asked about his clutch save on Jordan Harvey in the 82nd minute of LA's 1-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC and even the Panamanian 'keeper struggled to hold back a laugh.
"If a goalkeeper tries to explain a save like that, I think that they're lying. In a situation like that, a forward has a microchip in his mind that says that he's going to score. A goalkeeper has in his mind, a microchip that he can stop the ball," said Penedo. "What I did in that situation, I got up from the field and ran, ran, ran till I got the ball."
In the lead up to Saturday's California Clasico match between the LA Galaxy and the San Jose Earthquakes, I spoke with the finest reporter covering the Earthquakes beat, Robert Jonas.
Jonas of Centerline Soccer and Quake, Rattle and Goal broke down the Earthquakes and their recent struggles. Currently, San Jose is in eighth place in the Western Conference, but just three points behind fifth place Seattle Sounders FC for the final playoff berth -- albeit with two extra games played.
LA Galaxy Insider: What's the Earthquakes' mindset heading into this game?
JONAS: "Unlike last year where they were willing to stand toe to toe with teams and outslug them in 3-2 games, this year -- especially under new head coach Mark Watson -- they've been becoming a more defensive team and are trying to choose their chances on offense carefully. They're not getting the same type of service that they were last year, so the 72 goals that they scored last year was certainly an aberration, and they're well below that this year. This year, they've tried to manage the game the best that they can on the defensive side and take their chances selectively on offense."
LAGI: With the Earthquakes taking few chances does it limit the effectiveness of Alan Gordon, Steven Lenhart and Chris Wondolowski?
JONAS: "It limits the chances that [the forwards] are getting which is the reason that their goals are down. A 1-0 game gets the same number of points as a 3-2 win, so they're not getting the chances to pump in as many goals. Are they less effective? I think you're seeing them play a little farther back on the field, especially Wondolowski, who is willing to track back on the defensive side. It's definitely affected his goal output and it's not surprising given the mentality change."
LAGI: The Earthquakes will be without the services of Victor Bernardez, Rafael Baca and Justin Morrow due to suspension, how will this impact the team?
JONAS: "It is a big loss for the Quakes, but nothing that they haven't experience all season as injuries and suspensions have been a running theme this year. With Victor Bernárdez, you'll probably see Jason Hernandez pair up with Clarence Goodson in central defense. Jason has a lot of experience with the Earthquakes and is the longest tenured Earthquake at the moment. He's played in the last couple of games so he has his feet under him, so that should be an easy switch. Maybe he's not as effective, but definitely someone who is comfortable out there. The big question is who replaces Rafael Baca as he and Sam Cronin have formed an almost anonymous central midfield duo that works extremely hard on the defensive side ball and so effectively together that it's a big question mark. A player like Walter Martinez might be able to step in there as he did so earlier in the season as an almost attacking midfielder, which would allow Cronin to drop into a defensive midfield role. In talking to Mark Watson, he's keeping his options open and is still considering guys who slide in there like wingers Marvin Chavez and Jaime Alas or even a wildcard like the defensive-minded Brad Ring."
LAGI: The Earthquakes will be going up against LA's physical center back tandem of Leonardo and Omar Gonzalez, might their physicality hamper the San Jose attack?
JONAS: "It's an issue that has presented itself all season. Any physical center back duo has given Alan Gordon, Steven Lenhart and Chris Wondolowski trouble. The Earthquakes aren't going to sneak up on anyone anymore, so if a lot of the game is dependent on aerial attack then a lot of defenders can key in on that and do an effective job of stopping them. The fact that Omar Gonzalez is such an effective player in the air, is not going to do the Earthquakes any favors."
LAGI: How can the Earthquakes win this game?
JONAS: "For the Earthquakes to even get a result, they're going to have to complement the playing style of LA. From my perspective, it's all about limiting the passes, limiting the attacking runs that LA does so well in the attacking third, and maybe playing deeper in the field. We know how dangerous that LA is on the counter attack and I think that we're going to have to see the same thing out of the Earthquakes if they're going to go poach goals in this game. For them to get all three points, it starts with playing strong defensively and keeping the game scoreless as long as possible, and then poaching a goal in the second half. This isn't the Goonies anymore. They don't just come back naturally—or unnaturally if you will—they have to be much more disciplined with their chances."
LAGI: Your prediction?
JONAS: "I predict that the Earthquakes can keep it close for a while, but given their struggles and the fact that they have one road victory in all competitions this season, a draw would be the best case scenario. But I see a late goal leading to a loss."

This page contains some coding conventions for the Groovy-Eclipse project. This is still a work in progress. If you feel there are some conventions that are missing from here, please raise a jira issue for it.
We are only trying to coordinate some high level conventions that maintain the quality of the project across releases and when there are multiple developers. For anything that is not specified here, use your common sense. If you think that there is a major issue of concern, send a message to the email@example.com mailing list.
Copying code from Eclipse and JDT
In general, we want to avoid copying code from JDT and Eclipse. Instead, the preferred way to extend or borrow Eclipse functionality is to use sub-classing and reflection. Where this approach is not possible or it is unwieldy, it may be reasonable to copy an entire file. Here are the guidelines for doing this:
- Add the copied file to the jdt_patch source folder in the plugin. (If this doesn't exist yet, then create it.)
- Change the package name by prefixing 'greclipse." to the package. Do not change the type name.
- First line of the file should describe where it comes from (fully qualified name, plugin, etc).
- If there are visibility problems that mean you cannot change the package name, then leave the package as is and suffix the type name with PATCH. This should be a last resort.
- Surround all changes (apart from the package statement and imports) with "// GROOVY start" and "// GROOVY end"
- If suitable, add a textual description of why you are doing what you are doing after "// GROOVY start"
- If you have been really keen include the bugzilla entry raised against JDT related to the change you are making "prNNNNNN"
- Where you are replacing existing code with new code, use this format:
This ensures comparisons and merges are easier because the old code will precisely match what is in the original file. If the old code includes /* */ comments just apply common sense and think what will be easiest to merge again later.
In some cases, you may want to copy code from JDT as a starting point, but you have no intention of keeping the versions synchronized across Eclipse releases. This situation is fine, but you must keep the original EPL license at the top of the file.
Code formatting, templates, and code cleanups
The Groovy-Eclipse plugins use a set of pre-defined code formatting, templates, and code cleanups. They are set in each project. Also, copies of these preferences are included in the org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.core project. When creating a new project, be sure to use these preferences.
Task tags in code
Do not use TODO tags. Instead use something like FIXADE (where instead of ADE, use your initials). And after the FIXADE tag, you can optionally include a version number that this change should be applied to (eg- // FIXADE (2.1.0) ). You may also want to add the tag as one that is recognized by the JDT compiler. Go to: Preferences -> Java Compiler -> Task Tags and add what you need.
Error handling
In general, unless there is a good reason not to, errors should be logged to the error log. To do this, in the catch clause, add the following code:
GroovyCore.logException(String, Throwable)
And when in the org.eclipse.jdt.groovy.core project, use this instead (or one of the variants of the method):

To me, the incredible AOE threat generation is only part of what makes a Paladin tank. Being able to generate that threat on innumerable foes while simultaneously being impervious to their onslaught is the true standard.
When your gorilla wields a shield, and blocks 90 to 100% of those incoming attacks, you may have my Tankadin's title.

Great quality jacket for the price! Love the North Face brand. This jacket ran a little big in my opinion but it will just give my son room to grow. I wouldn't buy anywhere other than Moosejaw for my outdoor sporting good needs. The prices and excellent customer service put the larger chain stores to shame! They had the best price around on the jacket and offered free shipping. Even with the free shipping I received my items within the week! I was extremely happy with this purchase!
My two sons have never had such a fabulous jacket. It covers all their needs. Its great for any outdoor adventure. It not only fits their structure well, but it also feels great to touch. I would definitely recommend this jacket to all!
Although this fleece was a little bigger than I expected it is so warm and perfect for the fall. My 4 year old loves it. He would rather wear jackets than sweatshirts. He has to wear it with the sleves rolled up and should have gotten an XXS instead of of the XS. Black works with everything except our golden retreiver's dog hair.
Boith my husband and I have these coats both ea. I cannot WAIT for our sons to be able to enjoy the comfort of not being to hot or cold being we are in MI, and the weather can be a bit tricky at times. Also, these are very easy to care for.. To all who buy ENJOY!!!!!
As Tony the Tiger once said, "They're grrrrrrrrreat!" The khumbu jacket is a great jacket for fall and spring. I buy it instead of the denali which is at a higher price point. The khumbu does the same job for less money. Plus you are still getting a great product! The quality is wonderful. I love North Face. While my son has managed to put a hole in every article of clothes he owns, there has been nary a snag on any of his North Face jackets.
My son wears this jacket all the time. He says it keeps him warm enough on the cold winter days. I only let him wear it when it's above 40 degrees though; I don't know if it would keep him warm enough if it was cooler than that. He likes that it is warm but not too thick, so he can still move around well. He would recommend!

DOBSON — The regular meeting of the Surry Community College Board of Trustees opened honoring the service of a past board member and a scholarship presentation by the State Employees Credit Union.
Former Trustee LaDonna McCarther was presented with a plaque honoring her for 15 years of service to the college by Chairwoman Deidre Rogers.
"I miss you all already," said McCarther. "It's been a pleasure and an honor to serve with the board. If I can be of service, don't hesitate to call on me. Thank you for becoming an important part of my life."
Mitchell Mabe of Mount Airy and Justin Thomas Badgett of West Stokes were the recipients of a $5,000 grant each. Mabe is a 2013 honor graduate of MAHS. SECU representatives on hand to award the scholarships were Karen Hall, Tony Martin and Randy Ledford.
Ledford described Mabe as an avid outdoorsman and someone "who will do whatever it takes to get a job done and will give his best effort to accomplish the tasks ahead of him to the best of his abilities." He is the son of Donna Stevens and David Mabe and also volunteers for the United Fund of Surry County and Surry Medical Ministries.
Mabe also was recognized for earning an academic letter all four years of high school, the Presidential Academic Award and graduating with a full semester of college level courses completed through dual enrollment classes. He graduated 10th in his class with a grade-point average of 4.0 in both high school and college level studies. He plans to completed his associate's degree in criminal justice and pursue a position with the North Carolina Highway Patrol as a patrolman.
Badgett is the son of Eric and Priscilla Badgett and is a 2013 honor graduate of West Stokes High School. He was a member of the National Honor Society, Future Farmers of America, Mu Alpha Theta and played junior varsity baseball, junior varsity and varsity football and varsity track. He also attended the American Legion Tar Heel Boys' State program at Catawba College. He has been with the Boy Scouts of America since 2003 and earned his Eagle Scout Award.
Both Badgett and Mabe plan on attending SCC.
College President Dr. David Shockley gave the Facilities Committee report to the board and told them the school is in the process of updating many of the facilities.
"It is amazing what new paint and carpeting has done to get rid of the institutional white walls," said Shockley. "In the next months we will have the newly created writing and academic center completed."
He said these two offices have will occupy the entire second floor of the library and have been expanded to meet student demand.
Shockley and Student Government Association President Audrey Mahan briefed the board on plans for a College Fair to be held Sept. 16 at the school for high school juniors and seniors in Surry and Yadkin counties. The event's centerpiece is the fair where participants can meet with different college representatives about attending college. This is set to be held in the SCC gym from 9 to 11 a.m.
Following this activity, others scheduled include a grape stomping challenge, an archaeology hunt, DUI Cornhole, a Bungee run, a climbing wall and a street sign creation station. Food featured at this fun day will include funnel cakes, pizza, sno cones, candy apples, cotton candy and popcorn.
New employees approved by the board were Jennifer Jimenez as Spanish instructor, Wesley Lawson as web specialist and Michael Wall as lead instructor, construction management. HVAC instructor for Corporate and Continuing Education Keith Senter resigned, and Director of Medical Assisting Jean Mosley's retirement was approved. The board also approved the donation of an upright Baldwin Piano to the school by Daniel Jackson.

So, I have never done one of Battlechickens challenges, but since I am getting out there a little more in the community I thought it was high time I did
I have been considering writing a post on this topic for the last few weeks, about something quite personal and I just never found the right sort of context and this topic has come up, which allows me to kill two murlocs with one stone.
I have put it behind a cut as it may trigger and be hard to read. It is also long winded and waffly, as is my style
So given the amount of people that read my blog and the percentage of you that link stories about the gaming culture, I feel no shame in saying that I retweet and read a hell of a lot of information about the use of the word "rape" in game. Even my post a few days ago mentions a guildie coming online and using the word quite offhand, but in a manner I do not like.
I was raped, many years ago now, but it was a horrible stage in my life. I was strangled, quite literally to the edge of death and cut with a pocketknife.
Why do i mention those two little bits of detail? Because being raped is not like it is in the movies – a 5 minute montage with shitty music in the background. It is not something people walk away from in the next scene – and it is certainly not something that has no effect on you. My honest opinion is that movies have ruined people's ability to clearly understand what happens during something like a rape. I am sure there are no standards for what evil bastards can do to another human being, but they are all different – every single person that has gone through what I have will be able to tell a different story. None of them are nice. You don't take vengeance on the person in the next movie hour. We live with those scars for life.
When I was seeking counselling for it, I had to tell people close to me about it. I had to write the events down, as much detail as I could remember. I had to re-live it almost daily as it were and I had to look into the eyes of the people I love like my hubby after he had read that story and try not to see imaginary emotions in his face. I would see hate and disgust every time he looked at me. It simply was not there – he loved me and he hated the guy that had done this horrible thing to me, but i couldn't see that because I was in horror that I had to tell him at all. Whenever people use the word rape as a derogatory in game, it makes me feel how I felt when I getting counselling. The word flips a switch in my head that reminds me it happened.
There are days when I forget what I went through – days when I feel like the world is my oyster. Days when my life is perfect and I am happy. There are days when I am scared to go outside or even check the mailbox. I can't stand crowds now, I fear and loath being around people because anyone of them could be an evil bastard. I am stronger now. I don't let the fear show as much, if at all. I want my hubby to see how much better I am, that I am not affected by it anymore. That I am safe with him. But some things set you back and can't be helped as it is a sudden hit to the brain – i don't have time to block it.
There is a supplier who comes into work who one day said he "was sweating like a rapist" – I had to go home that day, and I hate him now. I pity the woman he is marrying. I refuse to even call him if we need him and I certainly don't like being alone at the shop if he drops past – in fact I always get as close to a phone as I can so I can dial emergency response if I need to. I have no idea if he is a rapist – I am not going to ask. But I won't trust anyone that uses the word as offhand as he does – including people in game.
When I was GL I had set rules we didn't use the word rape – and I would boot people after the second time they said it. First time, I generally got narky with them – in chat or vents I didn't care – I pulled people up mid sentence. Second time they said it, they got booted. End of story. You ask why? Because Azeroth is my escape as much as it is yours. Why should I have to consider rape at all, when I am enjoying blowing up bosses with fireballs? Why do you think it is ok to trigger me every time you do some PVP or get hacked? If your mother, sister, brother, girlfriend or boyfriend got raped – would you feel differently? if you knew they had been held down against their will and almost killed – would that make you use the word less because it is then associated with something more horrible to you?
I have discussed with my hubby many times the fact that people use the term in game far too much, and sadly I can't change the player base to stop saying stupid things like that. I do have to be able to just ignore comments like that and that is generally what I do now. My ignore list on my mage contains every single person that has said the word rape in game that I have been witness to. It is a very very long list. I have to delete people every few weeks so I can fit more on, but it suits my purposes. Generally if they say it once, they say it regularly and they are going to say it again, so I would prefer not to see the jokes and humour associated with having my life nearly ruined. Of course guildies saying it is still an issue, as I don't want to put them on ignore as it causes friction, but I can't be in a guild with people who have the mentality that raping is ok. Yes, that's how my cooky brain determines the use of the word rape – if you can say it so offhand, then perhaps you could do it, or have already done it? How would I know…I don't know you in real life, so you are not someone I want to associate with.
Anyway, I am sorry this post was a little heavy handed for the morning, but I hope that if I can stop even one person from saying it, I will have achieved something. So there you go, something personal about me that affects my life in so many ways.

Oh my. That is a hard tale to share. I really do understand where you're coming from because I don't use the word because I worry about upsetting people with the same reasons you have listed. Your feelings are strong about the use of that word and most if not all people would agree with you. Make it clear to others if you hear that word, people often don't use it thinking of it in the bad way that it is. Educate them. Make them understand. For those who have not experienced it first or second hand (like killing, death, or dying) people use the term very offhandedly but once you explain it to them, they will understand and be more respectful and hopefully you will also change their way of thinking.↓
Thanks Navi, I do hope that every now and again someone stops saying it when I give them an explanation as to why I find it abhorrent, But not everyone learns.↓
I've known more than a few women who have dealt with that horror. I applaud you for having the strength to talk about it. I have seen the pain in their eyes, and I can feel it in your words.
It's for this reason that I make it a point to never use the word in any manner other than its actual correct use. Furthermore, I've found that whenever I see someone else use it, like in a BG when they're like "getting _____ at the blacksmith", I generally put them on ignore. Anyone who can use the word so carelessly and callously is unworthy of my attention.
I'm sorry that you, or anyone else, has ever had to experience this. But I admire the courage it takes to soldier on.↓
The statistics for women that have death with it are huge, when i first heard how high I was appalled. It is amazing any of us have the strength to go on, so thank you for your words↓
My husband and I were just talking about how flippantly the word is thrown around. He said that the connotation is different these days, and I agreed and said that that is PRECISELY the problem. How on earth is it okay to take a word that means something so horrific and scarring and make it okay to use when you're being roflstomped on a battleground?
Thank you for sharing this; I can't possibly imagine what it is to live with this and I'm so impressed and inspired by your candidness and strength. You are amazing! <3↓
Thanks Ambermist – as I mentioned in my post, I think people use it so flippantly (great description by the way) because they don't really understand what can occur or what it really means. Not to get overly generalised here but young teenagers probably don't really get the concept unless they are well and truly versed in sexual manners and older males (from my experience of asking anyway) think rape happens in about 3 minutes and it is over, so the actual idea is skewed from the out with them. Not to be too detailed but my experience lasted over an hour, by my recollection of time, and although hard for me to even type about – i feel so strongly about this issue, I felt it needed to be out there for others to read.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and for suggesting the topic↓
The casual use of that word by some is truly abhorrent.↓
I second that Tacky!! It is too casual, but then so are so many words like we discussed the other day.↓
I hate people using 'rape' all the time too. I was raped when I was 17 by the boss of my first ever job. I'm now 32 and for the most part live a normal life, but it took a lot of counselling and willpower to get that way, and there are still times I have problems. For example I am nervous of older men, even my fiancés dad. And telling people you love about what happened never gets easier. When things got serious with G 4 years ago I had to tell him about what happened, not an easy conversation to have.
Sadly I don't just get rape references in games. I work in a pub and in the last few weeks have had to ask to regular customers not to joke about it, which didn't go down well with one of them.
Anyway, you are very brave for writing this post. Sending lots of hugs your way.↓
My sympathies for your experience Morrigu, I am returning your hugs!
YOu are very correct – having the conversation with a loved one is not an easy process, but must be done.
I am sorry you had to correct people at work, that would not have been pleasant.↓
First of all, massive hugs. Standing up and talking about what happened is never easy.
I was raped as a student by someone whose uniform should imply trust and whilst I'm not particularly bothered by the word itself (for me words are words, it's the act which cut so deep I still have flashbacks when people touch me), I now always try and stop people using it in a casual fashion or at least try and get to them to talk about why they think it's ok. For ages when I first started playing, I was afraid of showing vulnerability so tried to ignore it but it took another Priest coming to me in tears to realise that what a massive issue it can be for others and also how pathetic I was being. I think it hit doubly home because I hadn't reported my rape for a variety of reasons even though I was pretty sure I wasn't his first and so it felt like I was letting people down again.
I'm semi ok with use number 1 because a lot of people are just ignorant rather than trying to be outright malicious I think, my husband says I'm still terribly naive though.
I think you sum it up perfectly with this:
"Because Azeroth is my escape as much as it is yours"
And because of that, we need to work together to ensure that we all feel comfortable and safe when playing. There are plenty of words without triggers which describe steam-rolling other teams in pvp or defeating boss encounters, referring people to a thesaurus can have some effect.
<3 for the bravery.↓
Thanks for your bravery as well in putting it out here that it had happened to you. As with Morrigu, I am sending you massive hugs!
I never reported mine either, and I never will to be honest. It was bad enough living through it, and then living though it again with counselling. I got sick of the details and the re-hashing, I just wanted to forget it had ever happened in the first place.
There are many other descriptors out there, my favourite being, "we lost that quickly", it's pretty hard to say that though..so I can understand how it would confuse some people :p.↓
I didn't report my rape either. The guy was from a wealthy family and always bragged about how his mother would hire him a top lawyer, and he threatened my family. I know now he was full of shit but as a traumatised teenager I believed him. Plus he had been treating me badly in front of people before hand, and no one did anything so I figured I was on my own. However 6 months after I left my job (I stayed there for a month after it happened, it was hell) he was prosecuted for assaulting 3 other female workers, and pleaded guilty. His mother refused to pay his legal bills and so he didn't get that fancy lawyer. What I don't get is his girlfriend went ahead and married him anyway.
After it all came to light I got a call from one of the people who owned the store where it happened and he said he was so sorry about what happened, and he wished he'd been able to stop it. It wasn't his fault, he wasn't there, but it was a nice gesture.↓
That was a lovely gesture from the store owner, but you are right, when young and naive (for lack of a better word) you do tend to accept what people say at face value rather than considering they are buttholes.
I will never understand why women can marry people like that, but each to their own I suppose.↓

Thank you for sharing this. The stories I know of do not belong to me, but to others, so I'll leave it at that, and help fight the good fight.↓
No problem, as proven on my blog with previous comments, there are so many affected people out there, we need to make a stand and push back onto the people who are offensive, so I thought it would be good to just get it out there why i hate it so much↓
Hi :), thank you for sharing this, a difficult read. You, and also others, have shown great courage in sharing your experiences *hugs* to you all. I have strong views about the use of the "R" word in game and personally consider that Blizzard should make it that its just not possible to use this word at all. Good luck to you (and the others) in the future. Carole↓
I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you and the others above. It's also not a word I like to hear so casually so I never use it either. It does make me sad that it's used so often and players may even use it with humour which makes it even worse.
I applaud your bravery for sharing this horrible part of your past and if anything it can only make you stronger.↓
Thanks Cymre. It is never easy, but it something that I think we never consider the people behind it. One way to help change it though is to make people realise that there are people that have suffered through things like that.
Maybe enough people will see it and change. we can hope right?↓

I have my Nokia Lumia 920 three days now and it already became unresponsible twice. I could not start the phone or anything. Only a hard reset (all three buttons at once) started the phone again. Should I turn back the phone for a replacement?
09-11-2012 23:19
I had the same probem this evening after adding a bluetooth headset. Hard reset brought it back but curious if I should persue getting a replacement before my 2 weeks is up.

I wouldn't be sosure about a generic WP8 issue causing this. More likely just a once off incident. A bunch of us have had our lumia 920's about a week now. Of the 15, only one frooze and had to be hard reset. No idea what brought it on. The rest, I am glad to say, haven't put a toe wrong. Even the one that frooze is now back on form. As withanything new, theres bound to be a few teething proprems. Judging by what we are seeing here or rather not seeing here, I think it is actually going rather well. A handfull of complaints when tens of thousands of sets are already in circulation is a drop in the ocean. I understand that statistics is no consolation when your set happens to be one of them. However it does mean that if you get a replacement, chances are, it will be fine.

I'm experiencing the same freezing issue. I purchased my phone in-store yesterday morning (in the lobby of AT&T HQ in downtown Dallas). Around 11am yesterday after only two hours of use, the phone froze up and I had to perform a hard reset. IIRC, I had just plugged the phone into a power outlet (using the included, standard Nokia wall charger).
I used the phone a fair amount yesterday and didn't have to reset the phone again. Just before going to bed I plugged the phone into the wall (battery was approximately 15% charged). When I woke up this morning the phone was unresponsive. I had to do a hard reset (with the phone still connected to the charger). When the phone rebooted, the settings screen showed battery was only at 88%. I left the phone connected for about 15 minutes and when I disconnected the phone it showed 100% charge.
I used the phone occasionally this morning and all seemed well. And then I went to take a picture with the phone and it froze up again. After another hard reset, I noticed the picture I had just taken had vanished from the phone.
I'll be monitoring this issue closely since I only have another 13 days to return. Very interested in hearing from others.
10-11-2012 18:10
My Nokia froze again today so thats three times in 3 days. I didnt even do anything with the phone.
10-11-2012 18:16
I was the one of 15 that Cjlim mentioned and my phone froze shortly after installing Viber. I done the three button reset and removed Viber. My phone hasn't frozen since but that's not enough proof to blame Viber for that little mishap.
I have used my phone quite extensively since and it hasn't so much as stuttered once so I'm classing this as a one off incident in my case.
10-11-2012 19:34
I reset my Nokia to factory settings now to see if an app was responsible for freezing.

Same problem for me. Got it Friday afternoon (11/9). Froze up three times and one random reboot. Froze once using Words With Friends, once using the camera, and once just randomly.
I wish it were just a phone issue, but it seems so many are having it, it's hard to tell! I've read that the HTC 8X does the same thing.
I hope someone figures it out soon and fixes it!
BTW, lots of ppl posting on WPCentral with the same issue.

Same here, I have had no resetting or phone turning off problems with my 920 thus far. When running a lot of applications one time, the phone did appear to threaten to turn itself off, but recovered itself after 3 or 4 seconds. I agree with the sentiment of other users here on these boards...these appear to be isolated, one-off incidents and that is a testament to the strong programming work done by Nokia and Microsoft, in making a stable and reliable product.
Same here....3 new Lumia 920s for me, my wife, and my 16 year old son who uses his phone heavily with XBOX, music, texting, facebook, etc.. Not a single hiccup at all. No freezing, nothing at all but a great phone with good performance and sound quality. I'm sure we could still experience something negative, but in 2 days so far....nothing but a good experience.
11-11-2012 18:07
Mine has locked up another three times today since my previous post. Each time was after unlocking the screen and scrolling the start screen. This definitely rules out Viber as it's not installed anymore. I'm going to need to investigate further to see what might be causing this problem.
11-11-2012 18:32
Took my phone into the att store yesterday. The rep took my phone in the back and performed a factory reset. When the phone powered back on, I had the option to restore from my SkyDrive backup, but instead chose to start from scratch.
I have installed about 30 apps since then and have been using the phone pretty heavily. So far, so good. Will update this thread if the freezes occur again, but it seems for now that the hard reset did the trick.
11-11-2012 20:41
Just purchased mine about 3 hours ago. It's frozen about 8 times.
12-11-2012 3:10
I purchased mine Friday 11/9/2012. It froze several times that night doing nothing but scrolling the tiles on the start screen. I can pretty easily get it to freeze if I have my Windows Live, Gmail, and Facebook acocunts synced to the phone and I get my son to play I Dig It for 10 minutes. I was able to reproduce it that way. Then I removed all accounts except the main Windows Live account, gave my son the phone to play I Dig It again and the thing did not freeze. It could have been a fluke, but it seemed to be related to the accounts I had setup and had syncing. I wonder if a background sync causes things to freeze up. Wondiering if anyone else out there has a bunch of different accounts (Windows Live, Gmail, Facebook, Exchange) and you are setup to sync as often as possible and to pull down email from all time. Do things freeze for you then?

Same prob. Purchased Nov 9. Nov 10 freeze and went to store. They re-set holding both volume up, down, and power (aside: is that a "soft" re-set versus "hard"? All four buttons at same time?). Froze 3 more times later that same day. No freeze yesterday. 1 freeze already this morning. I noticed also that it freezes mostly when trying to unlock (so I removed that) and now freezes when swiping the screen-saver. Not sure exchanging phones will help if so many phones are experiencing same drama? Consider hard/factory re-set? Or changing phones. Disappointed.
12-11-2012 18:20
SAME HERE...Had mine since 11am on sat ( release day ) between now and then at least 30 crashes, Reset it 3 times now, still doing it. Phones 4u are sending a replacement, but i fear it's a software issue and will solve nowt. Dissapointed doesnt even cover it, i may even wrestle my iphone4 back off my daughter...C'mon Noika and Microsoft, sort this out..!!!

|The Bachelor of Arts in fashion design consists of two concentration, conceptual concentration and technical design and production concentration.
Conceptual Design provides an understanding of the design process, from concept to creation, including research, illustration, flat sketches and garment construction appropriate to a specific market. Conceptual designers' responsibilities are most directly related to the preliminary design concepts and ideas for any given season. This includes an understanding and mastery of research, color and story boards, the creation of original designs and the presentation of designs
Technical Design and production provides an understanding of garment construction, including the ability to analyze a garment and communicate to a factory how to construct it using the industry finishes appropriate to a specific market. This includes an understanding and mastery of tech packs, the creation of spec sheets and correcting fit.
Technical designers' responsibilities are to communicate to factories the process required to perfect a design into a style and make the style producible so that the quality is appropriate for a specific market. Technical designers are extremely proficient in solving problems and paying attention to detail.
