Hello, I play Amnesia the Dark Descent and its custom stories. I am also making my own custom story called "Burnline 9 C", be sure to check it out!
Game Review on Mar 6th, 2014
One of the best, if not THE best adventure first person shooters that I've ever played.
Chillingly awesome atmosphere left me wordless. Music, Nali culture, level design, weapons... absolutely fantastic.
The Sunspire was definitely one of the best-looking parts of the game.
The game gave lots of new inside jokes for me and my friend, and it feels so nostalgic to play it even though I first played it about a year ago.

A fairly good custom story.
The monster encounters were a bit crappy, suddenly spawning a monster right infront of you isn't very productive to the atmosphere or to the gameplay either. You should add Amnesia-like monster encounters, where you hear them spawn somewhere in your vicinity, then the player will likely be more nervous.
Puzzles were rather original, not entirely, but I liked the style.
You also managed to make the dungeon levels a bit more interesting looking with your special effects, that was a nice touch.
The length of it all is also a plus, I personally didn't expect it to last so long.
The subtle PewDiePie references didn't really bother me, since you didn't exactly throw them straight at the player's face, which is a good thing.
The story was, however, lacking seriously. I didn't find any notes, see any flashbacks or hear any dialogue. I didn't have any idea what I was there for, and what had happened.
Also, I suggest lowering the amount of messages you give to the player, especially when you put a lot of "RUN!"s in there. Those can be an atmosphere breaker. Just direct the messages as if it was the character thinking, more.
All in all, like I said, a fairly good custom story. 8/10, and if you're planning on making future custom stories, take note of the faults of this one and correct them.

Best horror game that I've ever played.
I don't think I've ever been so scared when playing a video game.
I truly recommend this to anyone who's after an interesting story, horror, adventure etc.
Mod Review on Feb 21st, 2012 - 1 person agrees
Original idea! Repeative, yes. A tad short aswell I suppose. But custom stories like these are a rare find, this one clearly distinguishes itself from the other, normal custom stories. This one was quite fun and challenging, also!

Crap. Boring, non-scary jumpscares, ****** grammar, crap level design, nonexistent story.
Mod Review on Oct 21st, 2011
Hm, to be honest I expected alot more from this. I noticed alot of faults, like alot of scaled objects which looked ugly, glitchy textures, and many of the monster encounters were pretty random and wouldn't really make sense, (like a real brute spawning right behind you.) And that the fact, that it was way too short. Somehow I actually liked the story. But i'll give you credits of that you made it completely yourself, and that it was only some sort of demo.

A police officer in Soldotna shot and killed a large brown bear in a busy residential area Thursday after the animal charged him, police said.
Police Chief John Lucking said Officer Victor Dillon spotted the bear crossing into a yard Thursday afternoon. Dillon thought it was likely an injured one that had been reported scavenging in the area for several days.
The officer went looking for the bear on foot, armed with a shotgun, the chief said in a written account distributed to news media Friday.
"The animal temporarily disappeared from sight near an outbuilding as the officer approached. Officer Dillon was stopped near a car parked in the driveway when he again observed the bear from a distance of about 25 yards. When the bear saw him, it charged straight on for a distance of about 14 yards at which time it quartered slightly away. Officer Dillon took that opportunity to step away from the parked vehicle and fire a single shot, dropping the animal."
The chief said the bear likely was attracted by a fresh caribou head within a few feet of where the bear was shot. Lucking says someone apparently had just butchered the caribou and the smell and head attracted the bear.
The bear was first noticed in Soldotna on Sunday "when it tore the lid off a chest freezer at a residence on South Fireweed." It was seen raiding garbage bins in town, and later charged two officers, police said. They weren't able to fire at the animal, though, "because of low visibility and nearby residences."
The animal was seen several more times around Soldotna after that, police said.
"It was unfortunate that the bear had to be destroyed, but the animal could easily have attacked someone and badly injured or killed them," the police chief said.

Withings Pulse Tracks Every Step You Take, Measures Heart Rate with a Finger Touch
5 Comments to Withings Pulse Tracks Every Step You Take, Measures Heart Rate with a Finger Touch
This review is just some promo photos, a list of the features, and some snark. If you think the idea is stupid and haven't actually used it, you could save yourself the bother of writing a review, and save us the bother of reading it.
Come on Scooby. Look a bit closer before you click, read, and comment. We never said this was a review. If we had, it would have listed "review" in the title and it would have included a score in the top right. That said, I can understand why you were confused; the website name has the word "review" in it. But again, please think before you comment.
My humblest apologies, I've edited my comment to address your concerns that it's not a review.
That's a pretty silly response. You mention "save us the bother" but here you are commenting. If I had to guess your an amateur troller.
The simplicity of the article makes the problem with it very plain which is why I chose to criticize it.
You still can't acknowledge my point: there's nothing to this article. That you're still here trying to disparage me seems like a tacit admission that you're not happy that you're basically copying and pasting press kits, which I can't imagine is very fulfilling for a professional writer.

Portable computing, social networking, smartphone apps, and cloud computing were all ubiquitous in 2010.
Luo Xiaoguang—Xinhua/LandovPortable personal computing gained popularity in 2010 as a result of Apple's newly introduced tablet computer, the touch-screen iPad, which almost immediately threatened sales of established laptop and ultrasmall netbook PCs. Apple was expected to ship 13.8 million iPads by year's end, according to iSuppli, an industry research firm. Another firm, Bernstein Research, reported that the iPad had become the fastest-selling new nonphone electronic gadget in history, eclipsing the initial adoption rates for the DVD player and the Apple iPhone.
Leading social-networking service Facebook doubled its subscriber base from the previous year to 500 million users worldwide. Moreover, the company became an icon of the online era when Hollywood released a popular, if somewhat fictionalized, movie about Facebook's founding, The Social Network.
The growing capabilities of smartphones made it possible for them to function as portable computers that also made phone calls. Downloadable software applications (apps) made smartphones more useful than ever before for music, video, navigation, social networking, and games. Apps were either free of charge or sold à la carte. GPS chips in telephones also enabled location-based social-networking services, in which friends could locate each other's positions, and opened up new opportunities for advertisers wanting to reach consumers at specific locations.
Cloud computing, which allowed companies to buy computer services such as database software and storage online as they were needed, gained in popularity. The market was split between the public cloud, in which companies used remote services over the Internet, and the private cloud, in which corporations provided on-demand computing services to their divisions from a central company data centre inside the corporate firewall. Both were intended to reduce spending on information technology through the use of a pay-as-you-go outsourcing model rather than reliance on a traditional data centre employing company-owned computers, licensed software, and company staff.
Apple's iPad was far from the first tablet computer, a device in which a touch screen replaced a keyboard, but earlier models had been offered mainly for business users and had never moved into the mainstream. The iPad, while priced at a steep $499–$829, was nonetheless a break with that tradition. It was a touch-screen device with a virtual keyboard and high-quality graphics that was aimed directly at consumers. Its lack of a physical keyboard did little to impede sales because it was intended for people who were more likely to consume information than to create it. The iPad more closely resembled an enlarged Apple iPod Touch than a laptop computer, and it connected to the Internet via either Wi-Fi or a combination of Wi-Fi and the cellular telephone network.
Competition quickly followed. Research in Motion (RIM) announced the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet computer, which was slated for delivery in 2011 and aimed mainly at business customers. By year's end dozens of other consumer electronics manufacturers were planning to offer tablet-sized devices. In addition, there were concerns that tablet computers were stealing some market share from traditional laptops and newer netbooks. Information technology research firm Gartner predicted that 19.5 million media tablets would be sold worldwide in 2010.
Despite the success of the iPad, tablet computers did not qualify as a "mass market" consumer electronics product. To do so they would need sales of 40 million–50 million units a year, or nearly four to five times greater than the iPad sales expected for 2010, said ABI Research. According to ABI, the iPad's relatively high price, averaging more than $650 per unit sold, was too steep to spur mass adoption of the product. In October, however, iSuppli estimated that iPad sales could exceed 40 million units in 2011.
The rapid growth of smartphones, whose shipments were expected by iSuppli to increase by approximately 35% for the year worldwide, opened up a new way for advertisers to reach consumers. Advertisers were particularly interested in the "geolocation" feature of many phones, in which a combination of GPS chips and cellular phone towers pinpointed a consumer's geographic position. By sending people advertising for businesses near their location at that moment, advertisers hoped that more people would take advantage of advertising specials, coupons, or other incentives. Studies showed that smartphone geolocation apps were not widely used by consumers.
Nevertheless, with an eye toward the future, Apple, Google, and Microsoft sought to position themselves to take advantage of smartphone advertising. Apple introduced iAds, which were advertisements that would appear within apps for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Microsoft planned to sell advertising through its new Windows Phone 7 cellular telephone operating system (OS). Google offered ads that relied in part on a consumer's location.
Consumer demand for information on smartphones and other portable devices was driving radical changes in cell phone networks, which became predominantly data networks. Existing cellular networks carried as much computer data as voice traffic, and the new fourth generation (4G) cellular networks that were being started by the major cellular carriers could handle and download even more data to smartphones and other portable devices at greatly increased speeds. One of the first of these networks in the United States was the dual-purpose 4G network being introduced by Clearwire Corp., a company that provided wireless Internet service by means of the new Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) technology. Cellular carrier Sprint shared the same network and downloaded data to smartphones at the same speeds available to Clearwire's computer customers. The average data-transmission speed was three million–six million bits per second, or three to six times faster than the average speed of existing 3G cellular networks. AT&T and Verizon Wireless were in the early stages of launching their competing 4G networks as the year ended.
The demand of data downloads on wireless networks also resulted in pricing changes by the cellular providers. AT&T marked the end of an era when it stopped offering customers unlimited data plans, citing cellular network congestion caused by a relatively small percentage of customers who were heavy users of data services. AT&T substituted tiered pricing plans based on the amount of data consumed. Some other cellular carriers followed suit.
In addition to the demands that portable computing placed on cellular networks, there was also considerable growth in the use of Wi-Fi hotspots, which were limited geographic zones where wireless Internet access was available for portable devices. According to the research firm In-Stat, by the end of 2010 there were about 319,200 public hotspot locations worldwide. In-Stat further estimated that during the year people had used those hotspots more than two billion times. The firm also projected that by 2012 half of all public hotspot connections would be made by people using handheld devices.
A survey conducted by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reported that the rapid advances of wireless data downloads were leaving some users confused and that consumer satisfaction with wireless broadband speeds on cell phones was lower than for wired broadband speeds on computers. The FCC attributed the lower satisfaction rate to the inherently slower speeds for wireless Internet service in the 3G era. However, the survey also found that consumers generally were uninformed about the specifics of their broadband speeds. About 80% of U.S.-based broadband users in the survey did not know the speed of their Internet connections.
The proliferation of data downloads to smartphones resulted in a three-way race for the most popular smartphone OS, although none dominated the phone market as the Microsoft Windows OS did in the PC market. According to the Nielsen Co., the BlackBerry OS from RIM was number one among smartphone users in the first eight months of the year, with a 31% market share, followed by the Apple iPhone OS (28%) and the Google Android OS (19%.)
Facebook was frequently in the news in 2010 because of its innovations and growth. The company said that it intended to go public (by selling shares of stock) at some point but indicated that it probably would not have an initial public stock offering until 2012 or later. Not all the publicity was favourable, however. Facebook, whose purpose was to allow its users to share personal information with each other, continued to push the boundaries of privacy by redesigning its privacy policy in ways that confused and angered many users. Under a new policy, some Facebook personal information became available on other Web sites, and the Facebook controls for regulating the dissemination of personal information seemed unnecessarily complicated. After enduring public criticism, Facebook revised its privacy policy to simplify the way in which users could choose what to share and how widely to do so. It also reduced the amount of information that Facebook users were required to share when others searched for them on the service.
Facebook in August introduced a long-anticipated service called Facebook Places that strongly resembled location-based services for social networking such as Foursquare. Facebook allowed users to "check in" at bars, restaurants, or other businesses via Places so that friends searching online could find them. Facebook Places was controversial because for the first time it allowed a user to locate a nearby friend at a specific site (if the friend had previously allowed such a move), potentially revealing the friend's presence to other people checked in at the same location. This raised the spectre of stalking. Facebook said that that feature of the Places service was easy to turn off.
Facebook was involved in another controversy when it was discovered that some games and other applications provided to users by third-party firms were collecting personal information that might be of use to advertisers—a problem about which government regulators and consumer advocates had been concerned. The company said that it would block Facebook user information from reaching outside firms.
Facebook also kept finding ways to build its audience. The company established itself as a new online gaming environment where millions of people played general-interest games such as FarmVille. Players could buy virtual goods inside the games by using Facebook's online currency, called Credits. Some observers said that Credits might one day expand beyond Facebook games and compete with e-commerce companies such as Amazon, Apple, and Google.
Myspace formed a partnership with Facebook to enhance the Myspace user experience. By importing their Facebook topics of interest to their Myspace profiles, Myspace users could find more related information and video on Myspace.
Fast-growing social-networking service Twitter, on which consumers sent messages called tweets, announced that it had a plan to generate advertising revenue, which it called Promoted Tweets. Consumers who searched for key words on the service would receive ads from companies that had bought the right to advertise in connection with those words.
Apple joined the social-networking scene by introducing Ping, a music-focused network integrated with iTunes. This service would enable people to find out what music their friends had downloaded and, in a broader context, what music those friends had reviewed or what concerts they were going to attend. Users could also see event postings by musical groups.
Social networking also caught the eye of government officials who regulated advertising. They sought to curb the practice of company-directed advertising campaigns making misleading claims via social-network postings or blogs. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) had already published guidelines for such marketing, and the U.K. Advertising Standards Authority planned to monitor this type of marketing.
The market for cloud computing was estimated at more than $68 billion worldwide in 2010, up 17% from 2009, according to Gartner. The initial interest was mostly on the part of technology companies, financial-services businesses, and legal firms, but cloud computing was not universally accepted. The public cloud involved accessing a remote data centre—one outside a company's control—and some corporations feared that data in the public cloud could be lost or stolen. Concerns about the security of cloud computing ran particularly high in Europe, where governments already had privacy laws that strictly limited the transfer of data outside the European Union. The problem was that the computing cloud, or remote data centre, might not be in Europe. In addition to security concerns, some corporations were reluctant to give up their own computer centres to use cloud computing because those centres had been built at considerable expense.
Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM all sought to carve out positions in the new cloud-computing field. Amazon, which already operated data centres for its Web site operations, said that it hoped to turn cloud computing into a second major business. Analysts estimated, however, that in 2010 cloud computing represented only a small percentage of Amazon's total revenue. Amazon's cloud-computing services included data processing, database software, and disk storage.
Apple agreed to compromise on rules governing its iPhone app development software, avoiding a clash with Adobe Systems about Adobe's Flash animation tools. The new policy came a few months after a change in Apple's software licensing terms had blocked Flash technology from being used to write apps for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Apple switched gears and allowed the use of non-Apple development tools for apps that were available through the iTunes app store. A conversion was needed to make the apps compatible with Apple's devices, but the devices still would not be able to display Flash animations—an exclusion Apple seemed determined to maintain. Observers maintained that Apple's rule change would make it easier for Adobe to continue attracting programmers to work with Flash technology, which was widely used on Web pages for video and animated graphics. Analysts said that the move aided Adobe's strategy of turning Flash into a favoured development tool that could easily be converted for any mobile device. Some observers wondered if Apple made the change in an effort to avoid a federal antitrust investigation of the company, which had been rumoured earlier in the year.
Hewlett-Packard (HP) CEO Mark Hurd resigned after the company's board of directors investigated sexual harassment claims brought against Hurd by a female independent contractor to HP. Hurd had hired the woman, a former actress in adult entertainment films, to attend meetings with top HP customers. Hurd settled the harassment claims and tried unsuccessfully to prevent HP from publicizing the investigation, which found no evidence of sexual harassment but did find that Hurd had tried to conceal his personal relationship with the woman by altering his expense accounts. Hurd then joined HP competitor Oracle as co-president, prompting HP to sue him for breach of contract, alleging that Hurd's insider knowledge of HP could be harmful in his new Oracle position. HP and Hurd settled the suit out of court, and Hurd agreed to give up some HP stock-based compensation owed to him. HP later named Léo Apotheker, a former CEO of German firm SAP, to replace Hurd.
Under Hurd, HP had said that it would eliminate 9,000 jobs over several years as it consolidated and automated its data centres and as a result would take a charge against its balance sheet of approximately $1 billion. The company predicted that during the same period it would hire some 6,000 workers for sales and service jobs.
HP in July acquired portable-device company Palm for $1.2 billion. Analysts pointed out that the deal was important to HP because the company lagged in the smartphone market. The deal was also significant to Palm, since the company had put itself up for sale after its smartphones were unsuccessful. HP also procured 3Par for $2.35 billion, winning out over Dell in a bidding war for a firm with cloud-computing technology.
IBM paid $1.7 billion for computer analytics firm Netezza Corp., a business that helped companies analyze their internal data. IBM also acquired an AT&T business unit called Sterling Commerce for $1.4 billion. Sterling created collaboration software that allowed companies to interact with their suppliers.
Intel Corp. made two large purchases, buying security software firm McAfee (for $7.7 billion) and the wireless business of chip manufacturer Infineon (for $1.4 billion). The acquisition of McAfee, one of the premier consumer PC security firms, was seen by analysts as a way for Intel to add security features to nontraditional Internet-linked products, such as smartphones and other consumer electronics gadgets. It was believed that in some cases the McAfee security software might be embedded on Intel chips instead of being sold separately. Infineon's wireless chips were used for wireless communications in laptops and smartphones. Intel also settled with the FTC over charges that the chip manufacturer had engaged in anticompetitive behaviour—partly, allegedly, by paying customers to buy exclusively from Intel. The FTC alleged that Intel had unfairly tried to suppress competition for about 10 years.
A long-simmering dispute between Google and China over the censorship of Google searches made by Chinese citizens caused Google to temporarily stop cooperating with China. Google also cited a December 2009 attack on its computer systems that originated in China. In the end Google decided not to abandon China, which had about 400 million Internet users. Instead the company redirected visitors from its China-based Web site, Google.cn, to Google.com.hk, a Hong Kong-based site outside the Chinese firewall. The Chinese government renewed Google's license to operate Google.cn but still required that search results be censored.
The European Commission investigated allegations that Google had unfairly taken advantage of its dominant position in the European search market. The investigation was based on complaints that Google had manipulated the search rankings of competing services and tampered with Web statistics that dictated how much advertisers paid Google to buy ads linked to a keyword in a search.
Google also made news by investing in, or experimenting with, technology that had nothing to do with its Internet search business. One was a 563-km (350-mi) underwater electrical transmission cable off the east coast of the U.S. that would carry electricity from remote wind turbines to where it was needed. Another was an automated car that drove itself with the aid of a database containing maps and speed limit information, as well as cameras, radar, and lasers that detected other vehicles.
While the U.S. recession had, for the most part, spared the technology sector of the economy, computer technology companies were slow to hire employees during the recovery despite rising profits. Business experts reported that demand for certain technology skills, such as data processing and software publishing, had decreased, while demand for skills such as computer systems design were increasing only slowly. Experts blamed the situation on the automation of some jobs and the outsourcing of others to firms outside the U.S.
It was a year in which more consumers were able, and apparently willing, to view Internet content on their televisions. Some new high-definition television (HDTV) units—dubbed "smart TVs"—came equipped with the ability to accept streaming Wi-Fi signals of Internet video content from home computer networks. Research firm Forrester Research, Inc. predicted that TVs with all types of Internet connections would be available in 43 million U.S. homes by 2015, compared with 2 million in 2010.
In 2010 Netflix continued to offer movies via Internet streaming in addition to its popular DVD-by-mail service. The service was facilitated by some 100 different intermediate devices, such as a video game console or dedicated Roku digital video player device, and was offered to customers who had already paid for its DVD-by-mail service. The limitation was that Netflix made only about one-fifth of its video library available for streaming. Licensing restrictions often prevented recent movies from being streamed by the Netflix service.
Apple sought to join the nascent Internet-to-TV trend by improving its Apple TV device, which had not been particularly successful. The new version allowed consumers to rent TV shows, although initially only from the ABC or Fox networks, and to stream them to their TV sets via Wi-Fi. Apple also cut the Apple TV price by two-thirds, to $99.
Google introduced Google TV, a device that allowed an Internet-connected TV or a Blu-ray player to deliver online content to TV viewers. Google TV would allow viewers to find content in much the same way that they searched the Internet. The service also allowed a viewer to watch TV and use the Internet at the same time. Google TV initially lacked many of the large content-producing partners that could provide TV programs. Home-theatre media provider Boxee was said to be adapting its $199 Internet-to-TV device to stream both video and other Web content. Other online video services, such as Hulu, continued to make free videos available for viewing on a computer, though Hulu began to charge subscription fees for certain TV shows.
Another kind of Internet video, person-to-person chat, became more widely used as it was supported by more services and gadgets. While video chat had been available previously on online telecommunications services, such as Skype and Yahoo! Messenger, it also became available on new smartphones such as the HTC Evo (Sprint) and the iPhone 4 (AT&T). It was unclear how popular video chat would become, and some experts noted that video landline telephones had failed to win over the general public more than 40 years earlier.
One type of Internet advertising became easier to use in Europe. Google changed its search rules so that more European advertisers could pay to have their products advertised in conjunction with search terms that were trademarked. Previously, trademark holders had been able to file complaints to prevent ads from appearing next to the name of their trademarked product. The advertising practice was already allowed in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Ireland.
The future of "net neutrality"—the idea that all Internet content should be treated equally by companies that control access to the Internet—remained unresolved, although the FCC continued to push for it. The FCC support had been based on the idea that net neutrality would prevent the telephone and cable TV companies, which were large Internet service providers, from favouring some Internet content or services over others. Google and communications company Verizon challenged the FCC's net neutrality plan with a proposal that net neutrality be observed on the existing wired Internet but not on existing wireless Internet services or any future additional, "differentiated" online services. The concern among net neutrality advocates was that the joint proposal made by Google and Verizon could create two Internets: one for the general public and another higher-priced, higher-performance Internet for those who could afford the services. (It was unclear whether the higher prices would be borne by companies providing Internet services or by customers.) There was also the possibility that some services might be effectively blocked from reaching customers because they were not favoured by Internet service providers.
In September the FCC chose to seek more public comment on the issues raised by Google and Verizon and postponed any FCC decision on the controversial issue until after the November U.S. congressional elections. As the year ended, the FCC narrowly approved a compromise between net neutrality advocates and the telecommunications industry. Previous efforts at a decision on net neutrality had encountered roadblocks. The FCC's initial strategy of creating Internet neutrality rules was blocked by a federal appeals court in April. The FCC then hinted that it might seek to reclassify Internet service—which was only slightly regulated—so that it would fall under the more stringent rules that governed telephone and telecommunications services.
The rate of home broadband adoption in the U.S. slowed in 2010 after several years of growth, according to a study by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project. Home broadband adoption was nearly even in comparison with 2009, at about two-thirds of American adults, which the Pew survey indicated was because the remainder of the population was not interested in high-speed Internet service. The U.S. government sought to expedite broadband adoption in 2009 by earmarking $7.2 billion in federal stimulus funds for grants or loans to selected high-speed Internet projects around the country, but much of the money was awarded in 2010. The purpose was to encourage broadband projects in unserved and underserved areas and to provide high-speed connections to local institutions that were likely to create jobs or benefit the public.
China's government announced that it would set up its own search engine for the general public, which the government would then be able to censor for political purposes. The Search Engine New Media International Communications Co. was formed by two Chinese state agencies: the cell phone company China Mobile and the news agency Xinhua.
A hacker who was wanted in the U.S. for alleged fraud and identity theft was arrested during a trip to France after having operated with impunity in Russia, a country long considered a haven for Internet criminals. Vladislav Horohorin, known online as BadB, held both Ukrainian and Israeli citizenship. Horohorin had been sought for months for allegedly operating Web sites for hackers who stole and resold credit card numbers. If extradited to the U.S. and convicted, he would face as many as 12 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
The EU resolved a long-standing price-fixing case with a group of semiconductor manufacturers, fining them a total of €331.3 million (about $409 million). The case involved dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips that were widely used in PCs. The semiconductor manufacturers in the case included Samsung and Hynix of South Korea; Infineon of Germany; NEC, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Toshiba, and Elpida of Japan; and Nanya Technology of Taiwan.
EU Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes estimated that as many as 150 million Europeans did not use the Internet for fear that they would become victims of cybercrime. As a result, she said, there were plans to improve the European Network and Information Security Agency to better deal with Internet threats.
In an effort to head off unsolicited messages, or spam, to cell phones, the Chinese government began demanding that users provide identification when buying subscriber identity module (SIM) cards, which uniquely identify a cell phone to the network and encrypt its calls. By reducing the number of unidentified cell phone users (currently about 40%), China hoped to reduce spam and attempted fraud.
Online service provider Craigslist, apparently bowing to pressure from state law-enforcement officials, closed a section of its U.S.-based Web site devoted to sex solicitation ads, but it refused to comment on its intentions. At first the company replaced the ads with the word censored, but then it removed this label. Although Craigslist could not be held legally responsible for postings by consumers, several state attorneys general and nonprofit groups working against human trafficking had pressured the company to remove the ads. The sex ads were still available on Craigslist in some other countries, however.
Andrew Winning—Reuters/LandovThe fact that people who posted information on the Internet could remain anonymous caused consternation and legal action. An American soldier in Iraq who handled military intelligence allegedly leaked secret information to the Web site Wikileaks.org (edited by Julian Assange), which published some of the information. The details provided by the soldier included 260,000 confidential documents and video of two American airborne attacks in which a large number of people were killed—many of them apparently innocent bystanders. The soldier was arrested, but the outcome of his case was pending at year's end.
LimeWire, an online service that had provided free copyrighted music long after similar services had disappeared, was found guilty of copyright infringement by a U.S. federal court in a lawsuit brought by record companies. Following the decision, LimeWire was again sued for copyright infringement by a group of eight music publishers. LimeWire said that it hoped to remain in business as a subscription music service.
Complementing the rise of the smartphone was the popularity of the cell phone itself, which was the premier "must-have" gadget in the U.S., according to a survey conducted by Pew. The seven most-popular electronic gadgets, in order of popularity, were the cell phone, the desktop computer, the laptop computer, the MP3 digital music player, the video game console, the electronic book (e-book) reader, and the tablet computer. The survey showed that 85% of Americans over age 18 owned a cellular telephone and that 96% of those aged 18–29 had one. About three-fourths of Americans had either a desktop or a laptop computer.
While only a minority of people chose to read books on a computer screen, e-book readers, or e-readers, grew in popularity as prices declined. At the same time, sales of downloadable e-books increased sharply. In the months leading up to the important holiday shopping season, the leading e-reader suppliers were Amazon (Kindle, $139–$379), Barnes & Noble (Nook, $149–$249), Sony (Reader, $179–$299), and Apple (iPad, $499–$829). The iPad was more of a laptop competitor than an e-reader, however.
E-books accounted for only a small portion of consumer book sales, but the rate at which e-books were selling rose significantly. Between January and August 2010, sales of e-books in the U.S. rose 193% from the same period in 2009 to $263 million, according to the Association of American Publishers. As a result, e-books accounted for almost 10% of U.S. consumer book sales, compared with 3.3% a year earlier. Meanwhile, hardcover book sales declined. Bookseller Amazon reported that it was selling more e-books than hardcover books.
Apple, historically a master of consumer electronics marketing, suffered through some difficult situations in 2010. The company had been known for highly publicized new-product introductions. In 2010 Apple suffered a major embarrassment when, prior to the introduction of its iPhone 4, an Apple employee lost a prototype of one of the devices. The iPhone 4's features had been a major corporate secret, but the lost phone was subsequently found and publicized on a technology Web site, Gizmodo. This robbed Apple of the air of mystery and excitement that had typically surrounded its new-product announcements. Police investigated the incident, although it was not clear whether charges would be filed. Gizmodo denied any wrong doing.
Apple also weathered an unusual product glitch with the iPhone 4. Some owners complained of a signal-loss problem that appeared to be related to the placement of the device's wireless antenna. To mollify customers, Apple offered free phone cases that seemed to solve the reception problem, and for a limited time the company offered iPhone 4 refunds.
Apple celebrated the ninth year of its popular iPod MP3 player, which in 2010 held the largest share of the MP3 music-player market. Apple had sold more than 260 million iPods worldwide since 2001.
Privacy issues came to the fore as digital devices intruded on peoples' personal lives as never before. U.S. Pres. Barack Obama's administration said that in order to prevent terrorism and identify criminals, it wanted Congress to require that all Internet services be capable of complying with wiretap orders. The broad requirement would include Internet phone services, social-networking services, and other types of Internet communication, and it would enable even encrypted messages to be decoded and read—something that in 2010 required considerable time and effort. Critics complained that the monitoring proposal challenged the ideals of privacy and lack of centralized authority for which the Internet had long been known. No action on the proposed security measure was expected until 2011. Federal officials also sought to update an existing law so it would require telephone companies and broadband providers to make it easier for the U.S. government to perform court-authorized wiretapping. Some recent telecommunications system upgrades had made wiretapping difficult.
Privacy of cell phone communications also became an issue when BlackBerry smartphone maker RIM reacted to demands from the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), Saudi Arabia, and India that security forces from those countries be given the ability to intercept communications such as e-mail and instant messages from BlackBerry users within their borders. The U.A.E. later canceled a planned ban on the BlackBerry service, saying that it had reached an agreement with RIM, which declined to reveal its discussions with the governments of other countries. The demands were part of a rising tide of security demands from national governments that cited the need to monitor criminals and terrorists who used wireless communications. Other countries, including Lebanon, were said to be considering making similar demands.
The FTC proposed an online "do not track" option for consumers. It was modeled on the FTC's "do not call" list that was designed to bar telemarketers from calling people who opted out in advance. The proposal would allow consumers, via Web browser controls, to opt out of being tracked online for marketing purposes. The proposal did not have the force of law, and its future was unclear, but Microsoft was the first to introduce a browser containing such controls.
Photos and videos emerged as unexpected threats to personal privacy. "Geotags" were created when photos or videos were embedded with geographic location data from GPS chips inside cameras, including those in cell phones. When images were uploaded to the Internet, the geotags allowed homes or other personal locations within the images to be precisely located by those who viewed the photos online. The security risk was not widely understood by the public, however, and in some cases disabling the geotag feature in certain models of digital cameras and camera-equipped smartphones was complicated.
Jacques Brinon/APGoogle's Street View photo-mapping service caused privacy concerns after the company disclosed that it had been recording locations and some data from unprotected household wireless networks as it took pictures. The company said that the data had been gathered inadvertently. German officials objected to Google's actions on the basis of Germany's strict privacy laws. The controversy led to other investigations of the Street View service by several U.S. states and the governments of Spain, France, Italy, South Korea, and the Czech Republic (which later refused to grant Google permission to offer the Street View service there). Google promised that it would not collect any more data in the Czech Republic until the issue had been resolved, though it would continue to provide Street View photos previously taken there.
Online microblogging service Twitter reached a settlement with the FTC involving two security violations that compromised privacy in 2009. One of the incidents involved a hacker's gaining access to Twitter accounts, including that of then President-elect Obama, which the hacker had used to send out fake messages. Twitter agreed to set up a security program and was barred from misleading consumers about the degree to which it protected their privacy.
Another privacy issue was cyberbullying: using the Internet to threaten or humiliate another person with words, photos, or videos. The problem once again received public attention when a male Rutgers University student committed suicide after two acquaintances reportedly streamed a video over the Internet of the student having a sexual encounter with a man. Also in 2010, Donna Witsell, the mother of a 13-year-old Florida girl who had committed suicide in 2009 after a cyberbullying incident, formed a group called Hope's Warriors to help curb abuse and to warn others of the threat. By December, 44 U.S. states had enacted laws against bullying, although very few of them included cyberbullying.
Internet search, the most lucrative online service because of its related advertising, got new features as a result of the competition between Microsoft and Google. The Microsoft-owned search engine was revised and released as Bing in 2009 to enhance online searches for travel and images. After Microsoft's introduction of the improved Bing, Google developed Google Instant, a predictive search engine that identified several possible queries and listed relevant Web links as people typed in their search terms. The Google service was said to allow for faster searches. For Google, even a slight edge in search capabilities was important because search-related advertising accounted for more than 90% of the company's revenue. It was unclear, however, how the change would affect businesses that tried to tailor their Web pages so that they would rise to the top of Google search results. Although Microsoft failed to overtake Google in search engine usage, Bing was successful enough to push Microsoft to the number two position in Web search in the U.S. by late 2010. Microsoft garnered 13.9% of the search market in August, compared with Yahoo!'s 13.1%. (Under a 2009 agreement, Yahoo! began to use Microsoft's Bing search engine instead of using its own). Number one-ranked Google continued to hold about 65% of the American search market. Nintendo sought to bring 3D viewing to computer games in a way that did not require wearing special glasses, as new 3D TV sets did. The task proved unexpectedly difficult, and Nintendo announced that it would not be able to ship the 3DS handheld device until early 2011. The delay was a setback for Nintendo after it had clearly won the 2009 battle for most popular home video-game console with its Wii device, which had steadily outsold the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360. Nintendo had planned to launch the 3DS to meet a new challenge—Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch devices, which were gaining popularity as handheld gaming devices. Google went into competition with Internet phone company Skype. In an expansion of Google's existing computer-to-computer voice and video chat service, the new service allowed consumers to place Internet calls from within Google's Gmail service to either cellular or landline telephones. Initially, calls within the U.S. and Canada were free, whereas there were varying charges for calling other countries.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Marjorie R. Leek, PhD (Walter Reed Army Medical Center)
Description: This is the fifth edition of a book that first appeared in 1977 covering hearing science in a logical fashion, with a comprehensive bibliography and indexing. The author is a celebrated expert on hearing, and has made extensive contributions to the original research described in the book.
Purpose: It is meant as a text for undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, speech and hearing science, and audiology. The book is also intended as a reference for researchers and professionals in many areas related to acoustics and hearing, such as engineers, physicians, and musicians. The book is needed, especially for students, and it meets the author's objectives.
Audience: According to the author, the book is directed primarily to graduate students in psychology and to both graduate and undergraduate students in audiology and hearing science. It is at an appropriate level for these readers. The author is a world-recognized expert in the field.
Features: The book is organized in a logical manner, with an initial chapter covering the physics of sound and anatomy and physiology of the auditory system. In addition to chapters on the usual topics in hearing science, there are chapters on pattern and object perception and speech perception, more cognitively-based phenomena that are (unfortunately) sometimes excluded from books on hearing science. A final chapter addresses more applied issues of hearing aids and music reproduction systems. The book includes a lengthy bibliography so that readers can easily find primary source material.
Assessment: This is an exceptionally valuable book that is used by most active researchers in the field, both as a reference and as prescribed reading for students. It is unique with regard to its scope of coverage and the level of discourse. The closest competitor would probably be Yost's Fundamentals of Hearing: An Introduction, 4th edition (Academic Press, 2000), but it is more for undergraduates and less sophisticated students. Given that the previous edition was five years ago, and that there have been considerable advances in the study of hearing, this new edition is needed. In addition to updating the chapters with more recent research, the author has also reorganized the book to improve the flow and the logical sequence of the chapters.

B.C. Mayors Call for Federal Support to Help Land Owners Battle Pine Beetle
By HANNAH ZITNER
VANCOUVER (CP) – Three B.C. mayors are demanding the federal government help thousands of homeowners pay for removing mountain pine beetle-infested trees.
The mayors of Prince George, Kamloops and Kelowna told a news conference Thursday that Prime Minister Stephen Harper needs to help homeowners pay to have trees removed from their land.
"For many homeowners, the need to deal with these dead trees comes with a real financial cost," Kamloops Mayor Terry Lake said.
He estimated it will cost $15 million to remove approximately 25,000 infested ponderosa pine trees on private property in the Kamloops area.
The cost to landowners to remove the trees is between $200 and $2,000 each, depending on the size and location of the tree.
The mountain pine beetle epidemic covers about 8.5 million hectares, an area larger than New Brunswick.
The beetles destroy lodgepole pine by eating the inner bark and introducing a fungus that impedes water flow.
Earlier this year, Harper had promised British Columbia $1 billion over 10 years to deal with the beetle problem.
None of that money is going towards helping private landowners remove the infested trees from their properties.
Lake said Kamloops has "removed literally thousands of dead trees from Crown and public land, but this leaves the private homeowner out of the loop."
More than 90 per cent of the pine trees in Prince George and 70 per cent of those in Kelowna have been infested.
By the summer, Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepard said she expects 90 per cent of the trees on private property will be infested.
The pine beetle hasn't only caused economic concerns amongst the mayors.
They are also worried about the safety of their constituents.
Mayor Colin Kinsley of Prince George said part of the federal money should go towards eliminating some of the hazards associated with the infestation.
Falling trees and fires – affected trees burn 10 times faster than healthy ones – are among the major dangers.
Kinsley also wants to see the province deal with long-term ramifications.
Funding has so far gone towards removing trees and not replanting.
"Without replanting we're going to get some serious erosion problems and flooding problems, flash floods."
In order to prevent another disaster, Kinsley said, the problem needs to be dealt with in "a holistic way and think about what's going to happen in the future."
And the future for taxpayers could look dim if the province doesn't received the money from Ottawa.
Lake said he doubted it would come down to citizens paying an increased tax, but "if we don't see that money coming, we may have to go that route."

MeeGo Gets Ported to Additional Smartphones
Nexus One, HTC Desire, and Dell Streak all get the open source OS.
Intel and Nokia have been stingy about showing off official MeeGo hardware, but that hasn't stopped intrepid members of the MeeGo community from porting the open source mobile OS to other mobile devices.
The MeeGo development community have migrated the OS to the HTC Nexus One, the HTC Desire and the Dell Streak. The MeeGo wiki offers picture as well as instructions for how to successfully port the operating system to each platform.
It's important to note that the versions or MeeGo being rolled out to these platforms are definitely for developers only. The instances described on the wiki lack hardware acceleration capabilities because of the lack of access to proprietary graphics drivers and other issues with touch screen calibration and so on.
Re: MeI like that comparison. They still have some big details to iron out and it's about time they announce an official phone, but hopefully after MeeGo Con, the operating system's road map will be a little more fleshed out.
Meego is going to rock !I think Meego is going to rock. Its going to be the Fedora of mobile devices. I can't wait !

GALVESTON Galveston Housing Authority s board is researching whether it can hire an attorney from a high-profile Houston law firm to accompany a local delegation to a meeting with federal housing officials.
The board was uncertain late Thursday morning whether the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development rules would allow the local group to bring outside legal counsel to the meeting, board Chairman Irwin M. Buddy Herz said.
Local officials are scheduled to meet Monday in Washington, D.C., with U.S. Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan and others to discuss the future of affordable housing on the island.

Arizona Coyotes
Coyotes beat Flames 3-2 on Doan's 350th NHL goal
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Shane Doan scored his 350th career goal on one of Phoenix's six third-period power plays and the Coyotes went on to beat the Calgary Flames 3-2 on Saturday night.
Chris Summers got his first NHL goal and Rob Klinkhammer also scored to put Phoenix up 2-0 after one period. Calgary got power-play goals from Curtis Glencross and Mikael Backlund to tie it at 2 after two.
After a frustrating series of power plays, Rahim Vrbata rocketed a shot toward the net and Doan deflected it past Joni Ortio for the deciding goal with 11:11 to play.
The Coyotes pulled into a tie with the Western Conference's No. 8 team Dallas with 75 points, but the Stars have played two fewer games and hold the tiebreaker.

Real Life Horror Stories That Became Hit Movies
Movies that scare are one of the most popular genres of entertainment on the market. Whether you are a fan of the supernatural or a thriller, it is easy to find something to m…ake you jump out of your seat. Some of the best known scary movies of all time are based on real life horror stories, and villains who could blend right in with everybody else. This article will take you through some of the most terrifying stories, and tell you how they ended up on screen."The Hills Have Eyes" was a hit on its first release in 1977 and was slightly less popular when it was remade into a modern version in 2006. The gruesome tale of a family attacked by mutated hillbillies in the desert struck a chord with many people. It is a little-known fact that the original inspiration for the script was a Scottish tale from the 15th or 16th century. A man called Sawney Bean was the patriarch of a family of cannibals who hunted unwary travelers. The depraved clan was huge and interbred, based in a series of caves in the northwest of the country. They were finally captured after years of atrocities by a huge hunting party as ordered by King James VI. All were executed for their crimes.In terms of inspiration for horror movies, many screenwriters and directors have looked to Ed Gein. Gein was a brutal killer who murdered at least two people and exhumed many more between 1947 and 1952. He kept remnants of the corpses in his home and was particularly prone to taking the bodies of women who resembled his deceased mother. Their unhealthy relationship was an inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960). Other films inspired by his crimes include "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991) and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974). Gein died at the age of 77 in a mental institution, having been placed there for life after being apprehended for his numerous crimes.The idea of demonic possession has been around since Biblical times, but the phenomenon continues to make a fascinating subject for movies. "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" (2005) was inspired by the story of Anneliese Michel, a German girl. In 1968, 16-year-old Anneliese began to suffer from convulsions and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital with severe epilepsy. The young girl was so convinced that her suffering was due to demonic influences that a priest was brought in to exorcise her. Sessions with Father Renz, a Catholic priest, began in 1974 and were held once or twice a week for up to four hours. This continued for 10 months until the unfortunate girl, believing she was beyond help, stopped eating and drinking. She passed away from malnutrition, weighing a mere 68 pounds.Serial killers are a strong subject for horror movies and thrillers, as the real life criminals are subjects of such fascination. The Zodiac killer, as he called himself, terrorized North California for a number of years in the 1960s and 1970s. He left taunting clues for the police and was confirmed responsible for at least five murders, while he claimed to have committed 37 in total. The case was never solved and is a source of speculation to this day. The high profile investigation was the subject of the David Fincher movie "Zodiac" in 2007.While it may sound absurd, the brutal shark attacks in Steven Spielberg's breakout 1975 hit "Jaws" were inspired by real life. Peter Benchley wrote the original novel a few years before he adapted it for the screen. He got the idea from a series of 1916 attacks along the coast of New Jersey. Over 12 days in July a series of brutal shark attacks killed four people and severely injured one more. A Great White was finally killed and when it was cut open the townspeople discovered its stomach held human remains. There were no further attacks on swimmers that year, and the story went on to terrify many a movie goer for years to come.Horror can come in a variety of forms, and real life horror stories are no exception. Whether the fear comes from a murderer or the supernatural, these true stories make great scary films. The next time you go to see a frightening movie it is worth doing some research. You may be able to scare your friends by telling them the story is not quite as fictional as it appears.Legend has it that "The Amityville Horror," a 1979 movie based on a book published in 1977, is a true story. The Lutz family claim it is a record of their experiences in a haunted house. The set of the film itself was rumored to be cursed. A series of tragic and unfortunate events were said to have plagued the shooting of the first movie. However this was later found to be a myth spread by the studio to gain publicity for the film, and the Lutz family admitted after a lawsuit was filed that their story was not, in fact, true. (MORE)

10 Real Life College Mascots
The college mascot who eats the most is undoubtedly Bevo XIV, the mascot for the University of Texas. The longhorn weighs about 2,000 pounds and eats about 60 pounds of food a… day. The mascot usually stands near the end zone at games. The tradition of using a live longhorn as the mascot started in 1916.Mike the Tiger is the mascot of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. As of 2014, the live mascot is Mike VI, a Siberian-Bengal mix that weighs about 450 pounds. Officials place the caged tiger by the opponent's locker room on game days, and cheerleaders ride on top of the cage as it takes a spin through the stadium on game days.Mission is the real name of the live mascot of the University of Northern Illinois Huskies. The dog was born in 2010 in Marengo, Illinois. Expect him on the sidelines of most games pulling for a Huskies victory. He replaced Diesel, who spent nine years overseeing Huskies' victories and losses. When Mission is not available, a costumed husky replaces him.Ralphie V is the female bison for the University of Colorado. Ralphie V normally runs a horseshoe shape across the field before the start of each half of the football games. Athletes dressed in cowboy gear accompany the bison on her run. Ralphie V can reach speeds up to 25 miles an hour.The University of North Carolina uses a ram as its mascot, and each one receives the name of Ramses. Officials paint the bighorn sheep's horns blue before each game to promote a Tarheel victory. These rams usually continue to serve as the mascot for their full lifespans at around eight years.Since 1980, the University of Oklahoma has used two white ponies as its mascots. Boomer and Sooner pull a white stagecoach on the field after each University of Oklahoma score. The ponies are not the first animal mascots to represent the university. That honor goes to Mex the Dog, who was the college's representative from 1915 to 1928.Live razorbacks inhabited the hills around Arkansas at the turn of the century and were extremely fierce, often killing cows and horses. Razorbacks are now rare, and the University of Arkansas uses Russian boars as its mascots. One of the boars, which closely resemble the original razorbacks, is present in a cage at each home football game.Over 50 black bears have served as mascots for Baylor University since the students adopted the mascot in 1914. As of 2014, the university has two live bears. Joy weighs 280 pounds and was born on January 27, 2001. The university also has Lady, Joy's full sister, who was born on January 31, 2002.Ranger III and Stryker are the mascots of the United States Military Academy. Ranger III is the third mule to carry the Ranger name because one of the mules must always carry the name to honor the living and fallen Army Rangers. Major Anne Hessinger at Fort Bragg raised both mules.The first bulldog mascot was a wedding present to Frank W. "Sonny" Seiler, who has owned each of the University of Georgia mascots. Each one is from the same line of dogs raised by the same breeder. When a mascot dies, Seiler places the body in a mausoleum on the university's campus. As of 2014, Uga IX is the current mascot and appears at most games. (MORE)

10 Scariest Movies Based On Real Life
The 2008 release of the movie "The Strangers" had many people sleeping with the lights on. Director Bryan Bertino stated that the idea for the movie came from the brutal Manso…n family killings in the late 1970s.The film also draws from a series of break-ins in his childhood neighborhood when he was growing up.The story of the 25-foot great white shark that terrorizes a seaside town one summer may seem solidly in the world of fiction--but it's actually true. Peter Benchley based the movie off the 1916 shark attacks on the New Jersey shore.Over a period of 12 days, four people died in five attacks. When anglers killed a seven-foot long great white shark on July 14, they found human remains in his stomach.Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren try to help a couple whose house is haunted in this supernatural thriller. In reality, the Warrens helped with a haunting where a witch named Bathsheba Sherman terrorized a Rhode Island home.She lived there in the nineteenth century and wanted the residents gone from her home.Though Norman Bates is a fictional character, the "Psycho" character was inspired by none other than real-life serial killer Ed Gein.Robert Bloch, author of the novel "Psycho" (upon which the Alfred Hitchcock film is based), claims that he didn't actually base his character on Gein, but he found inspiration in the case and years later realized how similar Norman Bates actually was in terms of "overt acts and apparent motivation."When two scuba divers are forgotten in shark-infested waters, the story that emerges is both horrifying and heartbreaking. Even more heartbreaking is the fact that the story is true.In 1998, Tom and Eileen Lonergan went to the Great Barrier Reef and then promptly disappeared. A diving company left them behind by mistake, but by the time they realized their error, the couple was gone."Black Water" centers on a family of three who embark on a fishing trip, only to find themselves the ones being hunted. In reality, it was December 3, 2003, when three friends went to ride their bikes on Kangaroo Flat.Tragedy struck when a giant crocodile ate 22-year old Brett. It is a scary fact that these crocodiles have eaten at least a dozen people in the last 20 years.This is your classic "haunted house" story: a young couple moves into a new home that they, of course, got at a bargain. The story itself is compelling, and the fact that it is reportedly true will give you chills.Al and Carmen Snedeker actually lived in a funeral home and experienced a variety of paranormal events, which eventually drew the attention of the Warrens (famed paranormal investigators).There were two men that were the inspiration for this gory tale of torture. The first was Ivan Milat, a man who kidnapped and tortured hitchhikers in the woods.The second man was Bradley John Murdock, who killed and tortured a British tourist. The movie has three backpackers who are tortured and killed in the Wolf Creek National Park.No one would want to believe that a movie so unsettling could have happened in real life. After all, no one really lives in the hills and feasts on human flesh.Wes Craven based "The Hills Have Eyes" on a tribe of sixteenth century Scottish cave dwellers, who reportedly ate over 1,000 people in 25 years before being put to death.

Meralco leans on 'old reliable' to trip Petron in PBA Governors' Cup
More News from Celest R. Flores
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Meralco fended off Petron's fightback and nabbed an 89-83 win Friday night in the 2013 PBA Governors' Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Seasoned bigman Reynel Hugnatan pounded on rookie Junmar Fajardo in the fourth quarter as the Bolts kept the Boosters, who even led by 14 in the first half, no closer than five in the last five minutes.
The "old reliable" Hugnatan, as head coach Ryan Gregorio aptly described, had eight of 20 points in the payoff period to lead Meralco on top off 23 points from last-minute import Mario West.
"It's a nice way to start the conference after all the apprehensions. Everything panned out the right way against the 'mighty' Petron," said Gregorio.
The Bolts blizted to the lead, albeit slim, towards the end of the third quarter, 66-61, and never relinquished it.
"It's a good thing our 'old reliables' led by Reynel Hugnatan and Sunday Salvacion, did a lot of damage offensively after there were scary moments in the third," Gregorio also said.
The youthful coach also commended guard John Wilson, who suited up for 35 minutes and shadowed the Boosters' import Elijah Millsap.
Milsap finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds for Petron, while Arwind Santos added 16 points and 11 boards.
The scores:
Meralco 89 – West 23, Hugnatan 20, Ross 14, Salvacion 13, Wilson 9, Reyes 4, Mangahas 2, Hodge 2, Guevarra 2, Vanlandingham 0, Allado 0.
Petron 83 – MIllsap 24, Santos 16, Fajardo 12, Lassiter 8, Cabagnot 8, Tubid 7, Lutz 2, Lanete 2, Kramer 2, Miranda 2, Deutchman 0, Yeo 0, Ildefonso 0.
Quarters: 16-28, 39-41, 66-61, 89-83
