Shane Williams believes the northern hemisphere are gaining ground on their southern rivals while stating that the Lions have the ability to beat the Boks.
The IRB Player of the Year feels despite the results saying otherwise – the European countries only won one Test in November against the Tri-Nations teams – that the gap between north and south wasn't widening. Wales were the only successful Six Nations team when they downed the Wallabies 21-18 in the last Test of the month.
"We felt we were good enough to beat South Africa, we played a very good 40 minutes against New Zealand, but lost in the second half and then we beat Australia," Williams told the BBC. "I don't think we're a million miles away. We're narrowing the gap every year."
Williams admitted the Tri-Nations trio were still the benchmark, but being competitive was a sign of progress according to him.
"Whereas in the past New Zealand would come over on tour and thump all the teams, this year teams are proving we can compete with the best in the world [Wales lost 29-9]. Saying that, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa are the best three sides in the world at the moment, without question."
Despite the poor results and the general lack of depth as individual countries, Williams believes once the four home nations unite to form the British & Irish Lions, they could cause an upset over the Boks next year.
"With the calibre of player going on this tour, we are more than capable of winning. I'd love to be part of a successful tour, but a lot of things can happen between now and then with loss of form and injuries."

It really depends on what type of package we receive for him, management isn't going to move him just for the sake of a trade to happen. If deal comes along where they see we'll improve and it fits our 2014 plan I'm sure they'll pull the trigger. For now let's just enjoy Pau's play of late.

Activiti Developers Guide
Building the sources
JDK 5+ : Make sure that you do not use code constructs that require JDK 6 or higher.
Maven 2.0.9
Ant 1.7.1
Running tests before commit
Before a checkin is done, a developers should make sure to update to the latest sources and then run
mvn -Pcheck clean install
in the root activiti directory
Demo setup
To run smoke tests on webapps, the quickest way to get started is using the target test.demo.setup in qa/build.xml
That will also startup h2 and tomcat. So to rebuild, you can use the target test.demo.setup.refresh That target will first shutdown tomcat and h2 and then do a full new demo test setup.
Building the javadocs
Use target build.javadocs in qa/build.xml
Building a distribution
To build a distribution, run target distro of build file distro/build.xml
User scripts
After an distribution is unzipped (or directly in the distro/target/activiti-version directory), a number of scripts are offered to our users as well. Those scripts can be found in [activiti.home]/setup/build.xml [user.home]/.activiti/build.properties As an example, here's the content of my[user.home]/.activiti/build.properties:activiti.home=/Users/tombaeyens/Documents/workspace/activiti/distro/target/activiti-5.0.alpha1-SNAPSHOT
activiti.home, is used in the setup/build.xml. It will work straight from the sources. So you can add the setup from the sources to your ant view in your IDE.
downloads.dir, is used in the setup/build.xml. It allows you to configure a custom location for your directory to download/find tomcat. If you don't specify this, the default is relative to the setup directory (../downloads). So if you use the setup/build from the sources, you might end up downloading tomcat into your sources. If that still would happen, don't check it in!
tomcat.enable.debug is used in setup/build.xml when tomcat is installed. if the property is specified (whatever value), the following line will be added at the beginning of the catalina.sh:
JAVA_OPTS="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8787"
skip.deploy.activiti.modeler=true set this property if the activiti modeler fetching from net and deployment must be skipped.
Unless before a release or explicitely working on Signavio, it's advised to set this property since sometimes a version matching the current trunk version isn't uploaded yet, causing the demo setup to fail.
mvn.executable=mvn.bat on windows you have to set this property to make the calls from the ant build scripts (distro/build.xml and qa/build.xml) to maven work.
[user.home]/.activiti/tomcat-users.xml To enable the automatic redeployment targets in qa/build.xml, put a tomcat-users.xml in your [user.home]/.activiti directory with the following content:
Build file qa/build.xml contains a number of targets for driving the QA. It also contains convenience targets for developers to do integration testing.
Eclipse IDE Setup
You'll need to install the maven and svn plugins.
In the "Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo" update site, which should be available automatically, install "Collaboration --> Subversibe SVN Team provider". After rebooting and adding an SVN repository, you'll be asked automatically to install one of the polarion connectors for SVN. Just take the latest version of the polarion connectors. In case that doesn't happen automatically install a polarion connector manually from "Subversive SVN Connectors Site http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/"
Install the maven plugins from http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e
First check out the activiti root from svn as one project. Then import existing projects and navigate to the modules directory. All the module projects should then be found and can be imported in one go.
in the eclipse directory of the root activiti source directory are some files that should be imported as eclipse preferences. The filenames indicate the dialog that can be used to import them.
Deployment to Alfresco repo
Add following to /{$user.home}/.m2/settings.xml
Note that this will save your password in plain text.
It is possible (since maven 2.1.0) to encrypt your password (untested): http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html
Just do a mvn -Pcheck clean install followed by a mvn deploy on the root. This will publish all artifact to the snapshot/release repo, depending whether '-SNAPSHOT' is added to the current project version.
snapshot repo: http://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/activiti-snapshots/
release repo: http://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/activiti-releases/

Clear Organizer Pouches add an extra pocket of organization to any bag. Using a small-but-tough plastic snaphook, the Clear Organizer Pouches attach to any of the
Clear Organizer Pouches are available in the following sizes:
Mini: 5.7" x 3.9" (145 x 100 mm)
Small: 7" x 5" (180 x 125 mm)
Medium: 10.3" x 7" (260 x 180 mm)
Pen/Pencil: 9.0" x 3.9" (230 x 100 mm)
Large (fits U.S. or A4 letter papers or file folders): 14.5" x 11.2" (370 x 285 mm)
Clear Organizer Pouches zip with a #5 YKK coil zipper with a plastic slider, which is less likely to damage sensitive electronic gizmos. They are made from our 500 or 1000 denier Cordura® nylon fabric or our 200 denier Japanese Dyneema®/nylon ripstop fabric with a front window of .016" clear urethane.
The clear material that we use is made of urethane instead of PVC. This is a conscious and, we hope, conscientious decision on our part; PVC is pretty nasty stuff. It isn't good for your health (ever open a brand-new PVC shower curtain, get a headache, and wonder why?) or the environment. The Europe Union has gone so far as to ban PVC children's toys. Unfortunately, PVC is still the third most widely used thermoplastic polymer, in part because urethane and other alternatives tend to be more expensive than PVC. We think the added expense of urethane is worth it for the health of you, us, and the planet.
Colors are "as available," which means we choose the colors and you don't. You can indicate first, second, and third choice color preferences in the comments field during the checkout process and we'll do our best to make sure that's what you get.

Here you can find all of dxomark.com's measurement and review publishing announcements for lenses and cameras since its launch in November 2008.
The Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM, which came out in March 2009, completes Sigma's Pro (EX) line.
The Nikon D4 spent only a few days in the top spot for DxOMark sensor results before being dethroned by the Nikon D800, which is a complete success in every sensor-related respect:
After our first impressions when we could get the first samples of the new Nikon D4 in our hands, we were looking forward getting a testable sample in our labs. And we were not disappointed.
End of last week Sony announced the SLT Alpha 57, the successor of the SLT A55. This translucent mirror DSLR comes with some interesting improvements in particular for its continuous shooting and auto focus.
After the 15mm, 21mm and 70mm pancakes by Pentax, here are the measurements for the SMC DA 40mm F2.8 Limited. Pretty nice for such a compact lens.
Compactness has become a key factor for the hybrid cameras, but Pentax anticipated this trend with some nice pancakes launched a few years ago.
We go on our first round of reviews of Pentax pancake lenses with 2 more extremely compact lenses.
Today we complete our testing of micro 4/3 lenses with the Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH OIS, a very compact macro lens.
A few weeks ago, in response to the announcement of the Canon EOS 1D X, Nikon unveiled its new flagship camera, the Nikon D4, which replaces the D3s at the top of the Nikon DSLR line-up.
Today, Sony announced the SLT Alpha 57. This new model replaces the one and a half years old SLT A55 translucent mirror DSLR. comes with some interesting improvements in particular for its continuous shooting and auto focus.
Today we take a look at a versatile old lens, the low-price trans-standard Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM, which first appeared in 1996. Despite its age, this full-field lens is still very useful and will allow you to take many different kinds of shots, from landscape to portrait.
With the SMC DA 15mm F4 ED AL Limited, we begin a new series featuring the results of Pentax prime lenses. Launched in 2009, this pancake lens offers a focal equivalent of 24mm on a full-frame camera… so it isn't a very wide-angle compact lens which will certainly adapt very well to the upcoming Pentax K01.
The Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 EZ is the kit zoom launched by Olympus for the OM-D E-M5. We can't test the lens on an E-M5 for the moment, since as of this writing the camera is not yet commercially available. But while we wait, let's take a look at how this lens performs on other micro 4/3 cameras.
Following up on our hands-on review of the newly-announced Canon 5D Mark III, here are some comparisons with the most relevant models from Canon and Nikon:
We introduced you the newly-announced Olympus OM-D E-M5 a few days ago. Today, let's take a look at how the Olympus OM-D E-M5 compares with its competitors.
For lovers of macro photos as well as of quality portraits, Sigma added a 70mm F2.8 EX DG Macro to its pro (EX) line in 2006.
Three-and-a-half years after the release of the full-frame reflex EOS 5D Mark II, Canon finally unveils its successor, the EOS 5D Mark III, a reflex camera that takes several significant qualitative and functional leaps forward by borrowing the latest must-haves in photo technology from the EOS 7D and the EOS-1Dx.
After looking at the Nikon AF-D series, DxOMark continues working its way through the history of photography by presenting the measurements for another "antique" lens, the Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM.
Continuing with our tests on micro 4/3 lenses, today we take another look at an older (2009) pancake lens, the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm f/2.8. Very compact and light-weight, the 17mm f/2.8 was one of the very first lenses specifically designed for micro 4/3 cameras.
Sigma announced this new version of its very large focal range zoom at the beginning of October 2011. Let's see how this new version compares with its predecessors and competitors.
A relatively recent arrival on the photography market, Panasonic has rather limited experience in the field and does not yet have the same name recognition and reputation as its principal rivals and partners (starting with Olympus).
To add some gravitas to its line of high-end lenses, Panasonic had the very good idea to team up with one of the most experienced and reputable lens manufacturers in the field (in terms of image quality), Leica. This arrangement is similar to the one for Sony cameras and their high-end Carl Zeiss-signed lenses.
Following the 20mm, 28mm, and 35mm, we end our review of the Nikon AF-D series lenses by taking a look at the results for the Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D.
To follow our review of the MZuiko 12mm f/2.0, here is the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.8, also announced in June 2011. With identical finishes, these are two upscale and very high-quality micro 4/3 lenses.
The Nikon D800 was finally announced and we are looking forward to publishing some great image quality test results soon. But while we wait for a production sample to measure, here are 3 very interesting comparisons.
DxOMark continues with its series of reviews of micro 4/3 lenses.
Following our review of Panasonic's very good kit lens, we present here the results for a bright wide-angle lens — the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2.0, announced in June 2011 and on the market now for several months. This 12mm wide-angle lens is the equivalent of a 24mm 24x36; its design is upscale, all-metal and with a very pleasant grip. This lens has another nice feature in terms of handling — users can quickly activate the manual control simply by sliding the focus ring toward the camera.
DxOMark continues its study of Nikon's vintage AF-D Nikkor series, this time focusing on the 35mm f/2.
Photographers enjoy shooting with this lens because of its versatility and its very light weight. Mounted on a full-frame camera, this wide-angle's field of view is the equivalent of a 53mm lens mounted on a Nikon APS-C (such as the D7000).
We are starting here a new series of reviews of the best micro-four-thirds lenses from Panasonic and Olympus. Let's begin with the Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH.
Having analyzed the Nikkor AF Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D last week, we continue with our series of articles about Nikkor AF-D lenses, this time focusing on the famous Nikon AF Nikkor 28mm f/2.8D.
Yesterday, Olympus stepped into the retro design game with a brand new line of micro 4/3 cameras, the OM-D.
Today Olympus is reviving its legendary range of OM SLRs with the launch of the Olympus OM-D E-M5, a vintage-design micro 4/3.
After months of rumors and constant delays, the Nikon D800 has finally arrived on the market — and what a camera it is, too, with some technical specifications that are very impressive indeed.

Playing in front of their home crowd for the last time of their careers, Oak Hill seniors Conner Baird, Jeb Stevens, and John Wesley Williamson knew it was their responsibility to lead their team to a convincing win before going into the postseason; they did just that, combining for 30 points in Oak Hill's 78-37 thrashing of Carroll Academy. After a tight 17-11 first quarter, the Raiders opened the second period with an 11-0 run before going into halftime with a 38-19 lead. Carroll's hopes of a senior night spoiler were snuffed out after a third quarter onslaught by J.J. Bridges and company.
Oak Hill had by far the best shooting night of the season from three-point range, going 7-14 from beyond the arc as a team while shooting 56 percent from the field. The Raiders held a plus 12 rebounding margin over Carroll.
J.J. Bridges led Oak Hill in scoring with 17 points. John Wesley Williamson and Jeb Stevens scored 13 and 11, respectively. Drake Riley added nine points and nine rebounds. Conner Baird and Matthew Gwathney scored six points a piece, while Curt Huffman and Dakota O'Bryant finished with five points each. Riley Pierce and Heath Ford rounded out the scoring with two points, respectively.

This hanger works great for the price. There are other aftermarket hangers with the same design but they are quite a bit more expensive. Jenson will even price match on this one.
Comments about Yeti Cycles Yeti Standard Derailleur Hanger:
The stock Yeti hangers are pretty terrible. They bend far, far too easily. Yes, I know they are supposed to bend to protect the frame or the derailleur, but the soft alloy that these are made of take it to silly extremes. I'd suggest finding one of several aftermarket makers of derailleur hangers rather than go with the stock ones.

Support the Museum by becoming a member today!
Every second Wednesday of the month, the Museum of the Confederacy and the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park are partnering to bring the Civil War Sesquicentennial to Appomattox. Each month, a knowledgable speaker will lead a discussion on a topic or event's 150th anniversary. The talks will take place upstairs at Baine's Books and Coffee.
With the bloody stalemate at Antietam, Abraham Lincoln finally had victory enough to issue his Emancipation Proclamation. January, 2013 is the 150th Anniversary of the document going into effect. Though the Proclamation did not in itself end slavery, it did change the scope of the War, the goals of the Lincoln Administration, and weakened chances of foreign intervention on the side of the South. Join Will Glasco of the Museum of the Confederacy as he describes the formation of the document, who it involved, and its ramifications.
Admission is free. Lunch will be available for purchase at Baine's Books and Coffee (Outside lunches are not permitted).

SplitsvilleRead MoreSplitsville explores contemporary consumption within a bowling framework, combining swankiness with three bars, and a full-service restaurant. Splitsville?s menu, developed under the guidance of one of Food & Wine magazine's Best New Chefs of 2008 Tim Cushman, stacks up and knocks down a cadre of ville plates ($5?$14) including spicy edamame and three-pepper calamari, stomach-stuffing signature plates ($14?$19) including the mahi mahi with voodoo shrimp and filet mignon, and big bowl drinks ($21) including the rum bowl and voodoo juice bowl. Diners sprinkle the restaurant with chatter as they dive into their choice of sauced steaks, generous pizzas, and rolls from the on-site sushi bar to the musical vibrations blowing from the speakers. After 8 p.m., all diners younger than 21 turn into pumpkin-shaped bowling balls and the fine hobby-sport decorum requests an evening-casual dress code as the crowd usurps the restaurant?s reins for nocturnal nourishment with energetic music.5701 Sunset DrSouth Miami, FL US
Strike MiamiRead MoreIf not for the occasional clatter of pins, Bowlmor Lanes' bright and modern decor and its full-service dining room could be mistaken for a lively nightclub. The sleek establishment's gleaming lanes exude a glamorous charm not often found in bowling alleys. Adding to the ambience is a high-end sports bar and glow-in-the-dark lighting that illuminates each bowling pin.11401 Northwest 12th Street,MiamiMiami, FL US
BowlloweenRead MoreLucky Strike throws state-of-the-art bowling and a pinch of swanky atmosphere into a blender, presses "puree," and serves you a thrillciting bowling smoothie. Saddle up to one of 14 lanes and spend two full hours basking in bowling-induced merriment ($45 per hour). Lace up the Louboutin-designed foot coverings (shoe rental is $4.95 per person) to achieve the ideal footing for perfecting your roll, bagging some turkeys, and settling a long-running score with a shifty-eyed mail carrier. Included in the deal is a $10 food voucher, so when stage fright results in trembling limbs and fingers, you can quell the shakes with some homemade roasted-garlic hummus or mac 'n' cheese bites.1691 Michigan Ave #115Miami Beach, FL US
Holiday Bowling CenterRead MoreHoliday Bowling Center features 16 lanes, a sports bar, and modern sound and video systems. That means plenty of space to bowl, alongside 4 big-screen projectors that add to the spectacle of games and entertainment. Bowling is the sport in the spotlight, but there's plenty on the peripheral: every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night the lights go dark and the screens flare up with top 40 music videos. Live bands and karaoke, meanwhile, keep things going in the lounge, which also features 16 HD TVs, pool, darts, and drinks. Holiday Bowling Center also features a full-service restaurant.106 E Pembroke RdHallandale Beach, FL US
Strikers Family SportscenterRead MoreStrikers Family Sportscenter invites guests to perfect their pin felling on 1 of 40 lanes. Bowlers handpick their favorite from a selection of neon balls and watch the 42-inch scoring monitors come to life with animated computer graphics. On weekend nights, flashing lights and music break up the rolling repetition during Rockin' Roll glow bowl. For cross-training, the arcade keeps bowling arms in tip-top shape with skee-ball and whack-a-duck. The snack bar restores nutrients lost performing the worm down an opponent's lane, hot wings and onion rings to a crisp and peppering 14-inch pizzas with a choice of 10 colorful toppings.8500 NW 44th St.Sunrise, FL US
Diamond Strike Lanes & Sports BarRead MoreUp to 32 games of bowling can be played at once at Diamond Strike Lanes and Sports Bar, and with a lively special effects and lights show, evenings are a real party. Bumpers fill out the gutters for youngsters and bowling newbies, and a live DJ spins tunes on the weekends. When the DJ is not in the house, a video jukebox shuffles more than10,000 song options and 10 PSAs on the importance of proper bowling shoe attire. The alley?s sports bar blasts live games on 30 flat screen TVS and opens its outdoor patio for guests to relax with a beer or wine. The bar?s menu features pizzas, burgers, and homemade chili.2200 N Federal Hwy.Pompano Beach, FL US

East 2350th Rd.
Marseilles, IL 61341
Illini State Park is the type of park
you think of when you think of big picnics and family gatherings.
With its rustic Civilian Conservation Corps buildings and riverside
picnic areas, Illini State Park offers beautiful views and a sense
of history not found in many other parks.
Named for the native Americans who once inhabited
the area, Illini State Park is located south of the Illinois River between
Marseilles and U.S. Route 6. The northern edge of the 510-acre park is
bordered by the Great Falls of the Illinois River. In just 2 miles,
the river drops 3 feet, creating beautiful, roaring rapids. The east
end of the park is the former site of the prestigious Marsatawa Country
reminders of America's Industrial Age can be seen at Illini State Park.
The area is part of an old glacial feature called the Marseilles Moraine
and is underlaid by 100 feet of coal. A large coal mine 1 mile south
of the park supplied coal to Marseilles industries until World War II.
The Illinois Traction System, an interurban electric transit system that
ran from Chicago to Princeton, was one of those industries. The Marseilles
powerhouse for the ITS can still be seen on the north bank of the river.
Less than 1 mile north of the park is the
historic Illinois-Michigan Canal, completed in 1848 when the
section from Marseilles to Morris opened. The I & M Canal carried
the area's commerce until the railroads became the transportation giants.
Although the Illinois River rapids are wonderful
to watch, they made barge traffic difficult. In the mid-1920s, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers built a barge canal to bypass the rapids. The canal
borders the park on the north, and visitors can watch as large barges
pass and through the Marseilles Locks.
The prestigious Marsatawa Country Club once
graced the east end of the park. Organized by Ottawa resident W.D. Boyce,
who also founded the Boy Scouts of America, the club boasted one of the
premier golf courses of its day.
In the 1930s, two companies of the Civilian
Conservation Corps converted the golf course to a park and constructed
buildings still in use today. The former country club building
was moved into Marseilles and serves as the American Legion Hall.
The CCC camp at the west end of the park
was converted into a semi-correctional boys' camp that provided maintenance
in the park until it was closed in the late 1960s.
Illini entered the state park system in 1934
and was dedicated in 1935.
Natural Features
Hickory, ash, walnut, elm, cottonwood, oak
and maple trees provide shady coolness in the summer and beautiful colors
in the fall. Spring is highlighted by blooming wildflowers, White-tailed
deer, squirrels, opossums, beavers, raccoon, groundhogs and a variety of
waterfowl and songbirds can be seen throughout the year.
Scattered throughout the park are picnic
areas and shelters with tables, outdoor grills, drinking water, toilets
and playgrounds. Several of the shelters also have working fireplaces.
There is something for every type of
camper at Illini State Park. Both tent and trailer sites, including
electric and sanitation service, are offered and some of the sites
offer breathtaking views of the river. A youth area is available
for youth groups and should be reserved in advance through the site
office. All campers should obtain permits from the site staff or
campground host upon arrival. Reservations
and Fishing
Anglers will find ample supplies of crappie,
bass, bluegill, catfish, carp, bullheads and many other species in the
Illinois River. A boat ramp is available for visitors' boats. Although there is no motor limit on the Illinois
River, boaters should be aware of the danger of barge traffic and the
close proximity of the Marseilles Lock and Dam.
Winter Sports
State Park is the perfect place for winter fun. An ice skating pool and
hills ideal for sledding provide hardy outdoor enjoyment. A shelter offers
a comfortable setting for warming fingers and toes after a winter workout.
Other Facilities
Hikers will enjoy exploring the park and
its many scenic and historic offerings. Open fields, a baseball diamond
and numerous horseshoe pits provide additional recreational opportunities.
A concession stand has food and drink in the warmer months.

NFL Game Summary - Baltimore at New England
(Sunday, January 22nd)
Final Score: New England 23, Baltimore 20
Foxboro, MA (Sports Network) - First, the win and a Super Bowl berth was knocked out of Lee Evans' hands. Then, Billy Cundiff pulled the Ravens' chance to tie the game wide left.
Baltimore couldn't capitalize on two good scoring chances in the final minute, and the New England Patriots held on for a 23-20 victory in Sunday's AFC Championship Game.
Tom Brady's diving touchdown on fourth down early in the fourth quarter was the decisive score, and helped the Patriots advance to Super Bowl XLVI against the New York Giants.
It will be a rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl, which the Patriots lost to Eli Manning and the Giants on a game-winning drive in the final minute. The Giants, who ended New England's perfect season that year, beat the San Francisco 49ers in overtime later Sunday to win the NFC championship.
Baltimore was playing in its first conference championship since the 2008 season, when it lost to Pittsburgh. It hasn't advanced to the Super Bowl since winning XXXV to conclude the 2000 season, and Sunday's failure ensured the Ravens will head into the offseason stunned.
Baltimore players were already visibly shocked when Cundiff missed the 32- yarder with 11 seconds to play. Mouths agape, they seemed to be in disbelief that the offense couldn't cash in on such a sure thing.
"That's a tough kick," said Patriots tackle Vince Wilfork. "You just don't know what you're going to get in those situations."
In reality, while Cundiff's missed kick was the Ravens' last failure, it wasn't their only one. They had multiple chances to score after Brady dove head-first over the pile with 11:29 left in the game, giving the Patriots a 23-20 lead, but came up short each time.
After Brady's touchdown, the Ravens drove into New England territory before Joe Flacco was intercepted by Brandon Spikes on a pass over the middle.
Baltimore's defense then got the ball right back thanks to an acrobatic play by its secondary. Safety Bernard Pollard stretched out to tip a deep throw by Brady, and cornerback Jimmy Smith snared the ball just before it hit the ground in the end zone, rolling over to ensure possession.
Again, the Ravens reached New England's side of the field, but the Patriots forced Baltimore into a 4th-and-6 and Flacco threw the ball away under pressure.
Baltimore had one final opportunity after the Patriots punted, taking over at its own 21 with under two minutes to play.
Flacco and receiver Anquan Boldin made the possession into a promising one, hooking up four times for significant gains. The biggest play was a short pass that Boldin turned into a 29-yard gain with a run up the left sideline. Flacco went back to Boldin on the next play for nine yards, and the receiver fumbled out of bounds to give the Ravens the ball at the New England 14 with 27 seconds remaining.
Then, it all fell apart.
Flacco threaded a pass to the right side of the end zone for Evans, who had the ball in his hands but couldn't secure it before Sterling Moore knocked it out.
Moore defended Flacco's next pass, too, a rushed throw to Dennis Pitta on third down with Cundiff waiting to attempt a kick well within his range. He made 18-of-21 kicks between 30-39 yards over the last two seasons, and had kicked field goals of 20 and 39 yards earlier in Sunday's game.
But the snap came and the hold wasn't perfect -- the laces faced to the right -- and Cundiff's kick sailed wide of the left goalpost.
"I get paid to make field goals. I don't get paid to miss field goals," Cundiff said.
The failure hit hard, particularly because the Ravens defense held the potent Patriots offense in check, just like it did two seasons ago in a wild card round victory.
New England posted 45 points in last weekend's playoff victory against Denver, and had scored fewer than 30 only four times all season.
But Sunday, the Patriots were held to a Stephen Gostkowski field goal three times, and were outgained by a 398-330 margin. Brady recorded his 16th playoff victory as a starting quarterback, tying his idol, Joe Montana, for most all- time, but threw for just 239 yards and was picked off twice.
He summed up his performance during an on-field ceremony after the contest:
"I sucked pretty bad today," Brady said, "but our defense saved us."
Both defenses were strong early in Sunday's contest. Gostkowski's 29-yard field goal provided the only points of the first quarter, and the Ravens went without a first down on their first three drives.
Cundiff kicked a 20-yarder in the first minute of the second quarter, and the next three possessions resulted in points. The Patriots scored on BenJarvus Green-Ellis' seven-yard run up the middle, Baltimore countered with Flacco's six-yard pass to Pitta near the front of the end zone, and Gostkowski's 35- yarder gave the Patriots a 13-10 halftime lead.
The Patriots kicker then made a 24-yard try on the opening drive of the third quarter, but the Ravens took their first lead of the contest on a long catch- and-run by Torrey Smith. He grabbed the short pass along the right side of the field, then ran up the sideline and held off Devin McCourty as he dove across the pylon with 3:38 to go. The touchdown was upheld after a review.
The Ravens had a chance to take control when Danny Woodhead fumbled the ball on the kickoff return, and got inside the Patriots' 10-yard line before Flacco was sacked for a big loss on third down. But they turned to Cundiff, whose 39- yard kick made it a 20-16 game in the final minute of the quarter.
Baltimore's defense nearly held in a goal line stand on the next Patriots touch, but couldn't prevent Brady from extending the ball into the end zone on 4th-and-goal from the one.
Game Notes
Flacco threw for 306 yards. He and Brady both completed 22-of-36 passes...Patriots cornerback Kyle Arrington left the game in the second quarter because of an eye injury. Tight end Rob Gronkowski suffered an ankle injury in the third, but later returned...The Ravens are 1-2 all-time in the AFC Championship Game. The Patriots are 7-1.

Anne Hathaway is nothing short of masterful in her narration of Baum's beloved classic. As she guides listeners through the world of munchkins, winkies, and quadlings; witches; and the humbug Oz, Hathaway's impressive vocal repertoire shines. As narrator, she is lithe yet precise; her voice sounds lilting or emphatic, as the story details require. In character, she is spectacular. Each character is filled with personality - a light-voiced Witch of the North; a brusque soldier at Oz's palace; a monotone, robot-like Oz; and a usually cheerful and genuine Dorothy. The variety enriches the listening experience. Yes, one may know the story well, but Hathaway makes this recording a definitive one.
Audie Award Nominee, Solo Narration - Female, 2013
One of the best-known stories in American culture, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over 100 years. Academy Award-winning actress Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married, Alice In Wonderland), fresh from filming one of this year's most anticipated films, The Dark Knight Rises, lends her voice to this uniquely American fairy tale.
Follow the adventures of young Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto as they get swept away into the magical land of Oz , where they encounter characters and places you may remember from the movie – and several more that never made it to the big screen – on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City.
"It's such a wonderful book and I was so happy to be a part of bringing it to life", Ms. Hathaway said. "There are a lot of great voices in it. The more fun you have with it, the sillier and the more free you get with it, the better it is because it's a story that can handle it. It's amazing to be able to discover something new about something you feel you know so well."
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is part of Audible's A-List Collection, featuring the world's most celebrated actors narrating distinguished works of literature that each star had a hand in selecting. For more great books performed by Hollywood's finest, click here.

I'm just a dumb troglodyte who like reading. Me feel good after I read book.
"Great for family car ride"
My family and I drove from Boston to New York listening to "the wonderful wizard of Oz." At 3HRs 52MIN OZ was the prefect length for a long car ride. We were enthralled and memorized by the depth and beauty of the story. The book is moderately different from the movie, which allows much discussion around the discrepancies. The narrator, Anne Hathaway, is excellent, where she bring so much magic and life to multiple characters. Our family continues to discuss the book weeks after completion.
I will listen to NO boring book. Old Fav's,Card, King , Hobb. New Fav's, Hill, Scalzi, Sawyer, Interested in Lansdale, Crouch, Konrath
AS a kid, the first thing I looked forward to after Christmas was The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It was always aired in Feb., which was sweeps month. I did not know that, I just knew it was sometime after Christmas. It was a great musical and this is a great book. They differ some and are the same a lot. The musical gave the Wicked Witch of the West a huge part that she did not have in the book. It was interesting to see the differences and easy to see why certain changes were made. The book is more violent, with some head chopping going on, but not enough to make the whole book not worth reading. It was published in 1900 and was the best selling children's book for two years.
Baum has an excellent imagination and I loved the ceramic people, which was not in the movie. There are lessons on courage, intelligence, tenderness, confidence and ambition, which children and adults of today can learn much.
Hathaway has taken a real beating by some reviewers. I did not always agree with her interpretations of the characters, (Valley girls did not exist when this was written) but I thought she brought life to the book. She kept it interesting. I much prefer a narrator that spices up the reading, as a reader who just mouths the words. Baum himself changed the book and characters in order to get it on Broadway. If he was alive today, I do not believe he would have a problem with his story being updated.
I also liked the book Wicked, which gives you the witches side of the story.
"book good, but, like, read by a valley girl, total"
Would buy Frank's books, just not not read by Anne.
I thought the story was very fresh. It was very different from the movie we know and love. Anne tried to create memorable voices, but several turned out to be a 1980's 'valley girl' or some derivative thereof. Anne, I love your work, but this did not do it for me.
loved the book, not the reading
"Anne Hath a way with reading"
I never read the Wizard of Oz when I was young and was afraid I wouldn't be able to relate to the story, but Anne Hathaway really brought it to life. She did a wonderful job with the different voices and it was a really good listen.
"Anne Hathaway Shines Throughout This Audio Edition"
Anne Hathaway's great voice work compelled me to love the audio edition over the print version.
A tie between Cowardly Lion & Wizard .
Meeting Wizard .
I laughed repeatedly .
Hathaway truly needs to do more voice work . Anne did the impossible, she made something old , feel new and fresh again. She has wonderful vocal skills , and she has that gift to naturally create different voices- masculine or feminine . Anne made all these characters feel real, relatable, and entertaining . Plus, Anne has that rare gift that cannot be taught - charisma. This is truly one of the best audiobook readings I have heard in years.
"Not the story I thought I knew"
Anne Hathaway did a good job with so many different voices but I had a hard time with the voice of the Scarecrow because it sounded like Marge Simpson. Listen to the sample on audible then go to youtube and listen to Marge Simpson it was too close to being the same voice I just couldn't picture the Scarecrow in my head because the voice was Marge! That was the main voice that was just wrong and it took me out of the story, the rest of her voices were good with a few being annoying and some just not fitting, like a valley girl voice just seemed out of place. I guess I liked her narration overall I just wish the Scarecrow had sounded different.I would recommend this audiobook even with Marge Simpson cast as the Scarecrow! Anne does bring many voices to the mix maybe at times too many because some of them don't seem to belong in the land of Oz but what do I know I've never been there!...
As I listened to this I came to the realization that I have never read Wizard of Oz before, yes I know I was shocked too. This story was a bit more violent in parts than I was expecting also there were some huge differences from the movie we have all seen 1,000 times so I had to try to get the movie out of my head and just go with the story, which I did enjoy. But in the end you can't help comparing the differences…the shoes (silver, not red)...Toto (black, not brown) …Dorothy is a much younger girl…the violence, there is a lot of lopping off of heads that I did not expect..Also the witches seem to play a much smaller part in this than they did in the movie.
Everyone knows the premise of this story there are over 3000+ reviews and 98,000+ ratings on Goodreads alone so really what am I going to add other than if you think you have read this book but aren't sure give it a try you may be like I was and realize you have never read the story Baum wrote, you only know the Hollywood version!
3 1/2 Stars
"spellbinding for the family"
This is a great presentation of the classic, which I think is best demonstrated by the impact it had on my 5 year old son. He sat quietly listening to the entire work from start to finish throughout a Saturday morning, soaking it all up and loving every second of it.
"Odd narration choices dim experience for adults"
The story remains enchanting.
This would be a lovely audiobook for young children.
That said, from an adult perspective, Ms. Hathaway overacts and takes away from the overall experience. A lot of her character choices are very extreme or just plain odd, as though she strained to come up with something unique and new. A child will likely find the different characters fun, this audiobook really is incredibly colorful, there are no default characters. But as an adult, I found that a lot of her choices make no sense (the wizard, above all) and was a little annoyed by some of the more grating ones, like the over-affected stage English of the queen mouse, for example, the valley girl stork, or the Marge Simpson scare crow. In essence, the magic she captures in her narration is the magical range of Anne Hathaway, not that of the Wonderful Wizard.
Other reviewers rave about this version though, so I recommend listening to a sample before you buy.
"very amusing"
mos def
Anne is amazing .. you almost live the story .. and her performance is so amusing I laughed so heartily at many many times
her performance for sure .. so lively
yes .. when Anne was reading the tin mans parts .. she translates the feelings perfectly
highly recommended ..
"What a phenomenal narrator!"
I would recommend this in a heartbeat. The story had gotten old for me after so many years but Anne manages to breathe life into the characters more so than any version of the movie I have ever seen.
The initial scene where they meet Oz. I don't know how she came up with that particular voice for him (apparently, she doesn't either if you've seen the video clip of her talking about doing the narration) but I think it fits the character well.
I certainly would have if I'd had the chance.
Give it a shot. You'll be surprised how much you enjoy a story you've probably already experienced numerous times.
"Brilliant narration"
Anne Hathaway does a great job of bringing this story to life. She uses different voices to depict the characters and I looked forward to my next instalment each day. The story is good, and there are some variations from the film which is interesting. I will definitely be looking for other books read by Anne Hathaway. My only complaint is I wish it was longer!!!
"Good reading of a classic"
This is very well read by Anne Hathaway, engaging for the children who listened with wrapt attention. It is a familiar tale to most British children, although some of the scenes are quite frightening for young ones (much as the film is). The story is more elaborate than the film, and has an extended coda.
"The great world of Oz"
Always been very found of the Wizard of Oz collection and must say this audible version is very good. Anne Hathaway gives life to this world and characters and her reading is very good.
I enjoyed this a great version for kids to listen to!
I guess everybody knows the story about Dorothy and Toto. If not from the movie with Ms. Garland then from reading the story by L. Frank Baum. But hearing it being narrated by Anne Hathaway is another dimension. I loved how she changes her voice to portrait the different characters. The story came to life again for me. I never read the sequels to the book, but this has prompted me to start doing so. I recommend this audiobook to anyone who loves a good story. Being Dutch I also recommend this audiobook to other Dutch people who love to read and hear stories in English.

Click below to hear the interview on the Federal Drive
By Meg Beasley
Federal News Radio
Agencies spend significant time and resources recruiting and training top talent but a new study warns that many are ignoring the other crucial side of the equation - keeping those employees. Retention strategies may become even more important in the face of looming pay freezes and budget cuts.
Ron Sanders, a Senior Executive Advisor for Booz Allen Hamilton and former Chief Human Capital Officer at the Office of the Director of National intelligence, told Federal News Radio, "your key employees are always at an attrition risk. The best and brightest can vote with their feet and we need to pay attention to that. And in this particular day and age, when we've got things like hiring and pay freezes, every vacancy becomes problematic. Managers may not be able to backfill."
A new report titled Keeping Talent: Strategies for Retaining Valued Federal Employees by Booz Allen and the Partnership for Public Service offers guidance and recommendations for agencies to help them maintain their workforces and improve their professional atmospheres. The study looked at what factors cause employees to stay with agencies, the retention techniques and tools human resource departments and line managers currently use and which they think are most effective.
This report, said Sanders, is the second of a two-parter. Last December, the previous report focused on attrition, while this one concentrates on retention. "Contrary to conventional wisdom," said Sanders, "the reasons people leave are not necessarily the same reasons that people stay."
This study shows most agencies pay little attention to retention because the attrition rate has been low in recent years. It reports the rate was 5.85 percent in fiscal 2009, a decline from 7.6 percent the year before. The private sector rate in 2008 was 9.2 percent.
However, beneath those rates, the report found attrition varies among agencies, within agencies and from position to position. In reality there are pockets where attrition is a serious problem. The study highlighted three categories of employees who represent attrition risks-those who are new to their agencies, those eligible to retire within the next one-to-five years, and those classified as having mission critical jobs.
Furthermore, the report warns that looming pay and hiring freezes could prompt more federal employees to seek other positions or retire early, magnifying the importance of looking at attrition trends now.
The study's authors say retention is an indicator of the health of an agency.
"Retention of newly hired, top-notch employees means that recruiting and hiring investments are paying off and new skills and energy are flowing into the workplace," the study found. "Retention of high quality, mid-level and senior-level employees means an agency is benefitting from the judgment and experience of seasoned professionals But high turnover rates may suggest problems in the workplace that need to be addressed."
Researchers conducted focus groups and surveyed representatives from more than 20 agencies to gather their views and to understand the retention challenges faced by line managers and HR professionals in the day-to-day operating environment.
In general, agencies are currently using three retention techniques on which the Office of Personnel Management provides guidance: retention bonuses, flexible workplaces and work schedules and student loan repayment programs.
Responses showed tension and disconnect between line managers and agency/HR leaders when it comes to retention priorities. The report found that many managers do not feel well supported by their HR teams in dealing with individual retention issues. On the other hand, HR departments largely reported being effective in dealing with retention.
According to the study, line mangers typically take a tactical view-focusing on how to retain their individual, valued team members. They use specific techniques and tools, such as retention bonuses and training opportunities to do so.
Agency and HR leaders, in contrast, take a broader view, favoring work/life balance policies such as flexible scheduling to create a good work environment. The report recommends that leaders focus on balancing the concerns of line managers with their focus on agency-wide goals.
In his experience, said Sanders, intangibles are the most important factors in deciding to stay. "If the employee has a connection to the agency mission, if they have a connection to his or her co-workers, if there's a great relationship with the boss - those kinds of intangibles trump whatever else may be going on in the agency or in government at large; things like pay freezes and hiring freezes."
