GREENSBORO, N.C. - In a classic great offense versus great defense affair, it was the North Carolina A&T University offense that managed to score just enough, as the University of Maryland Eastern Shore women's basketball team dropped a 53-50 decision to the Aggies at the Corbett Sports Center. Despite the loss, UMES forced 21 turnovers and held the Aggies to their lowest point total of the season.
After a steal and a layup by senior guard Kwinnyata Mercer (Mt. Vernon, N.Y.), UMES found itself down by just one with 1:13 left in the game. The Hawks had several opportunities over the final minute of play to either tie the game or take the lead, but the Aggies would hold on to thwart the late Hawk rally.
UMES (6-12, 3-3 MEAC) grabbed a quick 2-0 lead in the game when junior guard Sha-Kiyla Finney (Portsmouth, Va.) made a layup 20 seconds in before the NCAT (8-12, 3-4 MEAC) tallied 10 of the games next 12 points to post a 10-4 advantage after four minutes. The Hawks held a 9-3 scoring advantage over the next several minutes, as the women knotted the game up at 13 on a three by Mercer with half of the period left to play.
The teams would trade baskets before UMES took a four-point lead courtesy of a pair of field goals by junior forward Chelsea Sanders (Rochester, N.Y.). It was an even affair over the next few minutes before the Aggies went on a 7-2 run at the five minute mark to take a one-point lead with just under two minutes left. The Aggies went on to record another basket before halftime, as they held a 26-23 advantage at half.
The Hawks forced the Aggies into 12 first-half turnovers and posted an 8-2 advantage in points-off-turnovers at half.
After a few Aggie baskets to begin the second, UMES used consecutive layups by senior guard Amber Cook (Greensboro, N.C.) and sophomore forward Shanyce Stewart (Mt. Vernon, N.Y.) to cut its deficit to one. The margin was as close as the Hawks would get for the next 12 minutes as the NCAT posted an eight-point lead, 44-36, with 8:05 remaining.
UMES would come storming back as the Hawks scored 10 unanswered points over the next four minutes to take a two-point lead, 46-44, following a steal and layup by Cook. The Aggies would score the next four points before consecutive free-throws by Sanders evened the score at 48 with just under three to go.
The Aggies cashed in with a three-pointer by Amber Calvin on their next possession to take the lead and would benefit from a pair of Hawk turnovers over the final minute to pick up the win.
The Hawks were led in the game by senior forward Adobi Agbasi (Columbus, Ga.), who had a team-high eight rebounds, 10 points and four blocks. She came off the bench to register a 4-for-9 effort from the field and collected her eighth straight game with at least three blocks. Agbasi was one of four Hawks in double-digits as Sanders (four rebounds, one steal) posted 13 points, Cook (six rebounds) had 12 and Mercer (three steals) notched 10.
The Aggies saw Tiffanie Adair post game-highs in points (15) and rebounds (10) to collect the only double-double of the game. Nikia Gorham had 10 points and seven rebounds, while Amber Calvin had five steals.
The maroon and gray will stay in North Carolina for their next contest as the Hawks square off with North Carolina Central University on Monday, Jan. 28 at 5:30 p.m. UMES has won two of the past three contests against NC Central.

Your music becomes the enemy.
Dual-stick shooters are nothing new, there have been many ranging from mainstream addiction to artistic displays. Cold Beam Games's Beat Hazard has been on the 360's Indie Games service since October of last year, but recently came to Steam.
Like a lot of dual-stick shooters, you have your power-ups (Volume power-ups boost your damage, Power increases your rate of fire) and bombs. There are asteroids that float around and various different types of enemies that try to take you out. It has your normal mode where you can play one song at a time or a survival mode.
Beat Hazard uses your music (or one of their supplied tracks) to create the settings for the stage (much like Audiosurf). Since it uses certain guidelines, the same song will play the same way over multiple playthroughs. The slower the song, the less enemies and obstacles you will face, but your firepower will be extremely weakened. Fast-paced songs will lead to pure insanity on the screen, but your firepower will increase as well.
The system works for the most part, and can lead to some pretty intense scenarios. I played everything from video game songs to anime theme songs to hard rock to country. Each with its own little quirks.
Some of the best scenarios were when a boss ship (they randomly show up based on the song, preceded by a warning siren) would show up, and right in the middle of the fight, the song would hit a quiet part, reducing my firepower to garbage. The battle would become a pure defensive struggle, then the solo would kick in and I would turn the tide of the battle. Moments like that are amazing and words cannot do them justice.
However, it works the other way as well, there would be certain songs where in the middle of the most intense part, there would be NOTHING going on. I would just be sitting around raising my daredevil bonus (a bar slowly fills up when you don't shoot, adding to your multiplier when it fills up. It's kinda disappointing when the song is going on all cylinders, and there is nothing for you to shoot.
The leveling system is an excellent part of this game. Your score for each level becomes experience, and you rank up with it. Whenever you level up, you gain bonuses such as "Daredevil multiplier +2" so you add 3 to your multiplier, meaning more points and a easier time leveling up. But there are also bonuses that affect actual gameplay, such as starting with more lives and starting off with a volume or power bonus. This game starts off hard, and if you aren't used to shooters of this nature, you will get your ass kicked fast and hard. You get the more useful bonuses pretty far down the road, so it may turn off casual players. But if you stick with it, you are rewarded well.
The visuals in this game are excellent, as the song picks up, the visuals pick up too. This is a double-edged sword. It looks amazing, but there is a good chance that you will get lost, on normal or higher difficulty, any fast songs will become a flashing epileptic rave. There were many times where I would lose track of my ship due to all the flashing lights and swirling effects. In addition, the visuals aren't really easy on the eyes, if you aren't playing on easy, don't expect to play this game in long sessions.
As of right now, this game is $7.49 on Steam. If you have a controller, it is highly recommended that you use it. You have enough to worry about on screen to have it complicated by using a mouse and keyboard. There are Steam achievements with this game.
If you are a fan of dual-stick shooters or a fan of Audiosurf, you owe it to yourself to check this game out. A demo went live today so you can check it out for free. A cheap fun game with a cool premise, but minor execution flaws hurt the experience.

I guess all this election speculation has suddenly come down to Dion and the Liberals. I'm no psychic, but the writing is on the wall now – it's over, and the decision will be to take one for the team and lose an election now to be fired, or stay on to lose even bigger later. Honestly, I feel sort of bad for Dion. I think he miscalculated what total sharks he was swimming with.And you know what? If I was Dion and those options were put to me, I'd say, "Gee, thanks for all the support – I'll stay on and you can all go with me". But, he's not me – so we'll see.
kendrick lamar is a weird guy. he is a hippy? and now he makes songs in his mind where he is forcing the get away from how the game is' metltniay. and you guys are falling for it. pretty much meek is the guy that the game's shallow purpose exemplifies. 2pac was able to put who he was into song so poetic and deep that he wasn't on the shallow end of the rap spectrum. but deep. after he died, we had people coming out to dissect his words. kendrick lamar in his mind wants that respect. he wants his music to be the type where you have to say, man that was so intricate, when really the things he is saying is just constructed. when pac rapped, u felt like it was just a translation of who he is , his life , how his mind worked. when i hear kendrick, i hear someone who is just seeing thae deep' blueprint and trying to produce something. and you guys are buying it. he is a clown. hippy wont survive this rap game by 2015. let's see where he's at by then. yall talking about his music like he is a 2nd coming.i'll pass.
I together with my guys hanepped to be reading through the excellent information located on the blog while all of a sudden I had an awful feeling I had not expressed respect to the blog owner for them. These guys came certainly joyful to read through all of them and have in effect definitely been using those things. I appreciate you for being well thoughtful and then for using this form of exceptional areas millions of individuals are really eager to be informed on. My honest regret for not expressing appreciation to you earlier.
I have exactly what info I want. Check, please. Wait, it's free? Awesome!
At last, someone comes up with the "right" answer!

Unless you've been living under a rock or raiding nonstop for the last five days, you'll know that Grand Theft Auto V was released two days ago, appeasing GTA fanboys across the country. If you've been reading reviews as well, you'll know that the game has been extremely well-received, garnering high scores from game s everywhere.
You may also have heard about the furor around the Gamespot review written by Carolyn Petit. In her review, she expresses her concerns about a few aspects: 1) the game sometimes attempts satire that doesn't quite pay off, 2) the game treats its women and minority characters poorly, 3) the behavior of the characters can be inconsistent. For Petit, these qualities took her out of the game and diminished its success, in her eyes. She cites these issues to inform her readers, as these shortcomings could also affect the way they receive the game. The responses to this review were infuriated. How dare a reviewer—to some commenters, a woman who shouldn't have even played Grand Theft Auto –criticize what has to be the game of the century because of these inconsequential problems? Gamers were so upset that they created a petition on Change.org to have Carolyn Petit fired for her "scathing" review (the petition has since been taken down).
How much does Petit think these problems diminish the game? Enough that it scores a 9/10. Which, if you're familiar with numbers, is pretty darn high.
Basically, some gamers are enraged because Petit has the gall to say that GTA V is not perfect. She spends a paragraph and a half pointing out these shortcomings after two pages of a review that described the game as "innovative", "outstanding, multilayered", "unforgettable" and gorgeous. Petit enjoyed the game and appreciated the world—there were just a couple issues that kept it from getting a perfect 10. These are issues that many gamers may also find problematic—even if you don't care about misogyny or ineffective satire, characterization inconsistency can certainly affect your gaming experience. Petit gave an honest review, pointing out problems that are brought up in other reviews, and gamers think that this something that she shouldn't have done. This is something that should get her fired. A review that points out some problems in a highly anticipated game cannot be allowed. Such a review is a big enough crime to require ruining someone's livelihood.
And this is not the only time a subset of gamers has reacted in this way. When Polygon gave Dragon's Crown a review of 6.5, gamers raged. Many sites gave The Last of Us reviews that weren't perfect. Gamers raged. Why has our reaction to any criticism turned to outrage? Did we not get enough hugs as children? Did we get too many hugs, and now can't stomach disappointment?
The gaming world has debated whether we should abandon scores in game reviews for a while. Critics say that scores are the results of arbitrary scales, that they're too subjective. I mostly with this—I especially agree with it when gamers are infuriated when their new favorite game (that they haven't played yet) gets a 9 instead of a 10. While I enjoy the convenience of scored game reviews—it lets me know if it's good to drop sixty bucks on a title—I'm beginning to think that they're ultimately more trouble than they're worth. And it's not because of any objective problems with scores themselves. It's because of problems with ourselves.
Gamers have seemingly forgotten the point of game reviews. Sure, they can tell us what's a "good game" and what's a "bad game"—but that's not their main purpose. Game reviews exist to tell us the specifics of what is successful in a game, and what is not. They let us know areas where the game falls shorts, or doesn't achieve what it could. This could be art direction, characterization, gameplay mechanics, or even social commentary. Game reviews serve to inform us, to let us know if a game has components we might find objectionable. If reviews tell me that a game's controls are awkward, I will probably steer clear of it (since I can't steer my character). If a review describes a dependence on escort missions, I know that game's not for me. Reviews are meant to lay out the positive and negative aspects of the game so that the consumer can weigh them and decide if a title is, ultimately, worth his or her time and money.
Reviews are not fan service. And, unless you're the publisher, negative reviews are nothing to get upset about. Reviews that don't have perfect scores are certainly nothing to react to. You can love a title despite all its flaws (I'm looking at you, Resident Evil 6). You are perfectly entitled to think that these flaws do not deviate from the game, overall. You might not even think that these flaws are problems, or that they even exist. But you are one person. Reviews are meant to inform the population of the gamer world, and you are only a small part of that world. And I hate to have to point this out, but not everyone shares your exact opinions.
So, fellow gamer, next time you see that the game you've looked forward to for years has only received a 9.5, take a deep breath. Read through the review, and note the things the reviewer has to say about it. Look at what's positive. Look at what's negative. Decide for yourself if you think these are valid points. And then move on. Play the game, or not, and decide what you think for yourself. You see, gamers, we're not entitled to receive perfect reviews for the games we love (or think we will love). But we are entitled to be adequately informed, and we shouldn't let our nerd rage get in the way of our rights.

Big South Announces Men's Soccer Players of the Week
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (BigSouthSports.com) - No. 9 Coastal Carolina midfielder Pedro Ribeiro has been tabbed the Big South Conference Choice Hotels Men's Soccer Attacking Player of the Week, while Scott Sutarik of Liberty garnered the Defensive Player of the Week honor for games played Oct. 31-Nov. 6, the League announced today.
Ribeiro, a sophomore from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, netted three goals and a pair of assists to lead the ninth-ranked Chanticleers to a 2-0 record last week and the No. 1 seed in this week's Big South Men's Soccer Championship. Against Presbyterian College on Nov. 2, Ribeiro assisted on Coastal Carolina's first goal of the contest and posted a score of his own in the 30th-minute as Coastal Carolina picked up the 3-0 win over the Blue Hose. Three days later against Campbell, Ribeiro struck for two goals, including a bicycle kick in the 66th-minute and dished out one assist in the 5-1 win. The honor marks his first Player of the Week nod of the season.
Sutarik, a freshman keeper from Palatine, Ill., notched four saves in the 3-0 win over Radford on Nov. 2. He set the tone early in the contest as he turned away a Highlander attack from six yards out in the fifth minute of the contest. He also came up big in the 19th minute with a stop on a point blank shot to keep Radford off the board. The shutout marked his fourth shutout of the season and his first Defensive Player of the Week plaudit.
Also nominated for Men's Soccer Attacking Player of the Week for Week 11: Alex Martinez (High Point), Darren Amoo (Liberty), Byron Quinatoa (Presbyterian College), Luis Grande (Radford) and Jake Hagedorn (UNC Asheville).

ICYMI, an editorial in this morning's edition of the Greensboro News & Record calls for the dismissal of charges against all Moral Monday protesters and a coherent rewrite of the the rules regulating protests in the state Legislative Building:
"This has been bungled from the start. Demonstrators who gathered in the second-floor lobby of the Legislative Building on Monday evenings last year never should have been arrested. They were expressing their disapproval of Republican policies but did not impede legislators from going about their business. If they had become overly disruptive, they could have been escorted out of the building. At no time did they attempt to occupy the facility beyond the hours when it's normally open to the public.
Instead, over the course of the General Assembly session, 945 people were taken into custody and charged with trespassing, failing to disperse and violating building rules…. Read More

Overnight Friday a little more than an inch fell in parts of Chittenden County and snow squalls are possible the rest of the weekend as a cold front moves through.
In Underhill 1.3 inches of snow fell by Saturday morning, a half-inch fell in Burlington.
The National Weather Service office in South Burlington has issued a hazardous weather advisory for most of Vermont this weekend: gusty winds are expected tonight with the strongest blasts coming Sunday. Wind gusts of 45 to 50 mph could blow through the region during the day creating a risk for power outages.
Along with the potential for snow squalls the rapidly falling temperatures could reduce visibility and cause ice to form on the roads, according to the weather service. Up to three inches of accumulation could result from the squalls.
A second Arctic air mass returns Monday through Wednesday bringing the threat of low wind chills and ice jams.
Temperatures will range from zero to 10 degrees by Monday morning.

There have been several short-term patches designed to stave off pay cuts since SGR was introduced. Congress passed the most recent patch on Jan. 1, 2013, as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. That patch freezes fees until January 1, 2014, when fees are scheduled to be cut by 26.5 percent.
A one-year fix would cost $25 billion, and a permanent repeal of the formula would cost taxpayers $138 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
While doctors got temporary relief, they aren't happy with their annual parade to Congress asking for help. "We are deeply disappointed that Congress chose to just do another patch -- kicking the can, growing the problem and missing a clear opportunity to protect access to care for patients," AMA President Dr. Peter Carmel said in a statement before the congressional votes. "Shortly after the coming elections, access to care for seniors and military families will again be threatened by an even larger cut, and members of Congress will need to take swift action to end the broken formula."

A seal was spotted swimming along the shoreline by the Sandy Hook Visitor Center, Sunday, April 29, 2012.
- Filed Under
A seal that came ashore Sunday in Sandy Hook appears to be just fine, according to staff at the Marine Mammal Stranding Center. The Brigantine-based center was notified Sunday of a possible seal stranding, and some of the organization's 300 or so volunteers arrived at the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area to examine the animal.
"He's just kind of sunning himself," said Sheila Dean, co-director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center. "He doesn't seem to be injured."
Dean said the seal was lying on his side Sunday with back flippers up in what she called a "banana" position, ...

|Unusual course of the common hepatic artery originating from the celiac trunk.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20165947 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|The knowledge of anatomical variations in hepatic artery is of importance to surgeons in planning effective therapeutic strategies for general surgery. Apart from the different source and number variations, the unusual course was also discovered during the angiography and anatomical dissection. The present case report shows a rare case in which the common hepatic artery arising from the celiac trunk, crossed the portal vein, positioning itself at the back of this structure, found in a male patient undergoing distal partial gastrectomy.

Prayer Is Key to Pope's Diplomatic Activity, Says Archbishop Tauran
Interview With Outgoing Vatican Secretary for Relations With States
| 740 hits
VATICAN CITY, OCT. 14, 2003 (Zenit.org).- It is impossible to understand John Paul II's diplomatic activity without the faith, which prompts him to pray before making any major decision, a close aide says.
Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran, who will leave his post as Vatican secretary for relations with states when he is elevated to cardinal next week, talked about his work and his impressions of the Pope, in this interview with Vatican Radio.
Q: For 13 years, you have directed what in inadequate terms is usually called the "foreign policy" of the Holy See. Can you give us an assessment of it and illustrate the prospects?
Archbishop Tauran: When speaking of the diplomacy of the Holy See it must be noted that the Holy See's first diplomatic agent is the Pope: He it is who confers on diplomacy the force and prestige.
I will give you an example. When the Pope was raised to the Chair of St. Peter in 1978, the Holy See had diplomatic relations with 85 countries. Today, 25 years later, the number has increased to 174.
They have been important years. Let us remember the fall of the Berlin Wall, the first Gulf War, the African conflicts, the war in former Yugoslavia, this year's military intervention in Iraq, the peace process in the Middle East, the transformation of the European Union.
All these issues have been the object of work sessions, which we have had constantly over the past 13 years. I have always felt the Pope's concern for people to be able to live together in virtue of common convictions, and also in virtue of respect for international law.
Q: Among the dossiers you are leaving to your successor, which one is of greatest concern to you?
Archbishop Tauran: I would say, without a doubt, the Middle East -- the Middle East with the crisis between Palestinians and Israelis, in the first place, as it is the source of all crises, and I would also say, obviously, the situation in Iraq. I think that this area of the world needs to rediscover the path of reason and fraternity. I think that the international community has the duty to help the disputing parties in this task.
Q: I believe the Holy See proposes the sending of a force to be inserted between Palestinians and Israelis. Is this true?
Archbishop Tauran: Yes, since the year 2000, when the second intifada began, we have always maintained that, given the evident inability of Israelis and Palestinians to consider one another mutually, to talk to one another and to live together, it would be necessary to send to the area a so-called friendly force, capable of saying to both sides: "Stay at home for a month, without attacking one another; then, we will sit down to negotiate."
I think it is necessary to try to do something, otherwise there will be a catastrophe.
Q: Iraq's dossier is also still open, obviously ...
Archbishop Tauran: Yes, obviously Iraq's dossier is still open, as Iraq is a member country of the United Nations, hence, a sovereign country which has the right to the same dignity, sovereignty and freedom as the rest of the members states of the U.N.
Because of this, it is necessary to do everything possible so that the Iraqi people will have the conditions to choose their own leaders, their own political system, so that each and all will feel involved in a project of society.
Q: John Paul II celebrates the jubilee of his pontificate this Thursday. What is your assessment of these 25 years?
Archbishop Tauran: I think that in these years the Pope has become the moral "reference" of the world. Suffice it to see the list of personalities who come to visit him.
I think the secret lies in his charism, the greatness of this pontificate, lies, finally, in the Holy Father's faith. It would be totally mistaken to imagine him sitting in his office, elaborating a "Vatican strategy" with a geographic atlas and voluminous reports. No.
The great decisions of this pontificate have always been made in prayer, before the tabernacle of his private chapel, and I have been witness to this on more than one occasion. There is the key, from my point of view, to understand correctly the unusual radiation of this pontificate.

Penguins notebook: Maatta scratched for first time
Penguins/NHL Videos
NEWARK, N.J. — The Penguins sat defenseman Olli Maatta for the first time all season Tuesday when he didn't dress against the New Jersey Devils.
This wasn't a shock, especially when considering that coach Dan Bylsma strongly hinted on Monday that sitting Maatta was a possibility.
The Penguins have been concerned for some time about Maatta's fatigue level and have desired resting him. However, because of the rash of injuries to the Penguins' blue line — Kris Letang, Brooks Orpik, Paul Martin and Rob Scuderi have missed significant time, and Deryk Engelland missed five games with a suspension — they haven't been able to give the 19-year-old a rest.
It finally happened on Tuesday.
Maatta has been a standout all season on the blue line, even playing on the top pairing with Matt Niskanen during a recent stretch in which the Penguins played without so many top defensemen.
The rookie has produced three goals, 12 points and is a plus-2 in 41 games this season.
Still no Geno
The Penguins brought Evgeni Malkin on their three-day, post-Christmas road trip to Raleigh, Columbus and New Jersey. Malkin could only play role of cheerleader during the trip, however.
Although the center continues to improve from a lower-body injury that was sustained in Detroit on Dec. 14, the Penguins haven't cleared him for game action.
Malkin still needs to absorb more physical contact in practice before the Penguins will allow him to participate in a game. Malkin was on a roll before the injury, having produced 31 points in his previous 19 games.
"Obviously, we're a better team with Geno in the lineup," center Brandon Sutter said. "We've just got to keep finding ways to win without all the guys who are out of the lineup right now."
Malkin skated Tuesday morning on his own before the Penguins took on the Devils.
Martin update
Defenseman Paul Martin, once believed a lock to make the United States Olympic roster, might not be healthy enough to participate in Sochi.
Martin, who sustained a broken leg in November, still hasn't been cleared to skate.
Bylsma said Martin has a meeting with physicians next week and, at that point, it will be decided it Martin is able to resume skating.
He presumably will be paired with defenseman Brooks Orpik, his regular defense partner, when he returns to the lineup.
"Paul's working out pretty heavily off the ice right now," Bylsma said. "Hopefully early next week we'll move to getting him back on the ice."
Banged up
Devils forward Patrik Elias left the game in the first period after sliding awkwardly into the boards following a hit from left wing Tanner Glass. It was hardly a violent collision, but Glass hit Elias enough that the forward lost his balance and appeared to land shoulder-first into the boards. He remained motionless on the ice for about a minute before slowly skating to the locker room.
Also, Penguins forward Joe Vitale was hurt on the game's first shift but did return.
Bruin's Thornton gives up on suspension appeal
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton decided he won't appeal his 15-game suspension with an independent arbitrator.
He was suspended for his attack on Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik on Dec. 7.
Thornton said Tuesday he remains unhappy with the length of the suspension and has endured difficulty sleeping in recent nights.
"I'm not going to let this define me," he said. "And I won't let this affect the way I do my job."

MidSouth Bank was founded in January 1912, during an era when many community leaders across the nation went about forming banks to meet the needs of local families and business owners who were largely ignored by big-city banks. Opening our doors with just $18,000 in assets and bookkeeping operations being managed by hand-tabulated ledgers, our bank embraced a brand of banking from which we have never wavered: responsive financial services focused on relationships with our customers. Our staff brings together more than 600 combined years of banking experience. With locations in Alabama in Ashford, Clayton, Dothan, Eufaula, Auburn and in Panama City and Fort Walton Beach, Florida, MidSouth Bank has expanded its footprint and its style of banking throughout the area.
At MidSouth Bank, we think banking is more than just opening accounts and handling transactions. We embrace banking as a commitment to the community, establishing close relationships with our customers while serving as an active corporate citizen. We strive to build our bank as an integral part of each community we serve. This is your community. And we want to be your bank.

A three-vehicle accident at the intersection of Clark Street and Balmoral Avenue left a Lexus SUV flipped onto its roof and sent five people to the hospital this afternoon, according to police and fire officials.
Witnesses reported that the Lexus may have run a red light before colliding with a Ford van near the intersection, then striking a second car. The impact flipped the sport utility vehicle onto its roof.
Cindy Isham, who lives nearby, was driving her daughter home from school at about 3:45 p.m. when the accident occurred.
"I was just driving home when I saw the Lexus
run the red light," Isham said. "Then I heard the crash, so I pulled over."
"The car hit the van first," said her daughter, Georgia, who saw the crash. "Then it hit the green car and flipped," she said.

How-To Recover Your Gmail Account
I guess it safe to assume that you already went to https://mail.google.com/ and tried to log in using your username and password, but couldn't because either the username or the password seems to be wrong. Listed below are various options which could help you in recovering your account.
If your password is the problem, click on the "Can't access your account?" link and choose the "I don't know my password" option which will direct you to a page with up to three recovery options:
- Get a verification code sent to your mobile device.
- Request a password reset e-mail to be sent to your recovery account.
- Answer your security question and perform an on-line password reset.
- Proceed to the Account Recovery Form. Look for a "Verify your identity" link if the other options don't work.
If you are told the account does not exist, it may have been deleted by a hacker or you might have typed the wrong username. You might try to recover the account by using the Account Recovery Form:
Forgot the account name?, (which is probably the reason why Gmail tells you the account does not exist in the first place), just use the "Can't access your account?" link and choose the "I don't know my username" option:
If Gmail tells you to enter a mobile number to receive a SMS code, below is a link in which you would need to follow the process described there:
If you see: "Lockout (Sector 4)",its an error that indicates that the account might be compromise. The account should automatically unlock itself in 24 hours or less.
If you see "Temporary Error (502)" or 500, do not worry, its just an internal error from Gmail's part and should be fixed soon.
If you see any message about account "maintenance", its just that Gmail is performing server maintenance and it takes 24 hours or less:
If you see any messages about being underage, Gmail believes you are too young to own a Gmail account (13 years or younger):
If you see any message about your account being "Disabled" or "Suspended", It means that you might have committed some abuse, violation of the Terms of Service, or it might just be a compromised account. Just follow any instruction given by Gmail or the links they give you when you try signing in:
If you see an error that is not listed above, check out the link below which contains all possible errors that Gmail might show:
If you still do not know what to do, Gmail has an article that could help you out. You can also use it to walk through the process of account recovery.

Sundance Institute, a champion for independent filmmakers for more than 25 years, is joining forces with the GSM Assoc. (GSMA), whose members serve more than two billion mobile phone customers across the globe, to create the Sundance Film Festival: Global Short Film Project. Sundance Institute president/founder Robert Redford unveiled the groundbreaking pilot project to showcase and extend the reach of the independent short film genre to mobile users worldwide, during a press conference at the Museum of Television & Radio in New York City.
Sundance Film Festival organizers, in conjunction with the GSMA, have commissioned six independent filmmakers to create five short films, crafted exclusively for mobile distribution. Filmmakers participating in the project have screened films at the annual Sundance Film Festival.
"Cell phones are fast becoming the 'fourth screen' medium, after television, cinema and computers," said Redford. "We feel this experiment embodies fully, our quarter-century dedication to exploring new platforms to support wider distribution of independent voices in filmmaking. We are excited about bringing this opportunity to independent filmmakers and most excited to see what they will do with it."
This pilot project is believed to be the first to commission high caliber independent filmmakers to create original stories specifically for mobile. The filmmakers who will be working with a limited budget, time and resources to make a three- to five-minute film for a small mobile screen.
"The Global Short Film Project takes us into the realms of a uniquely intimate new medium, one which holds tremendous promise for maximizing the impact and international reach of the short film genre, and in doing so serving the artists," said John Cooper, director of programming for the Sundance Film Festival and creative director for Sundance Institute, who will oversee the project.
Bill Gajda, chief marketing officer at the GSMA said, "The emergence of mobile as the fourth screen is already changing the way people are educated and entertained. This project will explore the potential of the mobile medium to deliver compelling, cinematic entertainment to a global audience on an unprecedented scale."
The six filmmakers featured in the Sundance Film Festival: Global Short Film Project are Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE - 06 SFF), Justin Lin (BETTER LUCK TOMORROW - 02 SFF), Maria Maggenti (PUCCINI FOR BEGINNERS - 06 SFF), Cory McAbee (THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT - SFF 01) and Jody Hill (THE FOOT FIST WAY - SFF 06).
The Sundance Institute will exclusively premiere these new short films on the opening day of the world's biggest annual mobile event, the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona next year (Feb. 12-15, 2007). The event attracts more than 50,000 visitors annually. The films will be available for cell phone download during the congress for attendees, and for broader distribution through mobile carriers after the event.
Founded by Redford in 1981, the Sundance Institute (www.sundance.org) has grown into an internationally recognized resource for thousands of independent artists through its film festival and artistic development programs for filmmakers, screenwriters, composers, playwrights and theatre artists. The original values of independence, creative risk-taking, and discovery continue to define and guide the work of Sundance Institute, both with U.S. artists and, increasingly, with artists from other regions of the world. The Sundance Film Festival is the premier showcase for American and international independent film, held annually in Park City, Utah. The 2007 Sundance Film Festival will take place Jan. 18-28, 2007.
The GSMA is the global trade association representing 700 GSM mobile phone operators across 215 countries of the world. In addition, more than 180 manufacturers and suppliers support the association's initiatives as key partners. The primary goals of the GSMA are to ensure mobile phones and wireless services work globally and are easily accessible, enhancing their value to individual customers and national economies, while creating new business opportunities for operators and their suppliers. The association serves 82% of the world's mobile phone users. See: www.gsmworld.com & www.3gsmworldcongress.com.

The biggest gripes I hear from tent-tethered hikers about tarps are:
Most seasoned ultralight backpackers admit to #1 but choose to invest weight where it counts the most – as high fill down in a sleeping bag.
Most have also figured out a variety of solutions to #2, ranging from the spartan's choice – a headnet – to the more secure and roomier offerings of "nest"-like shrouds of noseeum mesh such as those offered by GoLite; or a mesh perimeter sewn to the edge of the tarp as in Henry Shire's TarpTent. Combined with some strategically applied DEET and/or permithrin, avoiding insanity from buzzing is not difficult.
Thus, the first two proclaimed disadvantages of tarp camping for three-season backpacking are weak arguments.
However, when it comes to #3, too many veterans – even experienced lightweight hikers – scamper down to the tree line to avoid having to face the rock music of tarp camping in a tempest. And, hey, I'll admit it – when I'm carrying a poncho and leaving my tent at home, pitching a bombproof tarp in a gale force storm at 11,000 feet is not high on my list of things to do when dusk is approaching and I'm craving my evening soup.
However, being able to pitch your tarp properly under inclement conditions such as these is a skill that opens up new avenues of very light high mountain travel – including alpinism, ridge hiking, and alpine high routes. Above the treeline, you are immersed into a mountain range's full glory – and sometimes, her wrath – en route to a richer experience with better-than-IMAX views, planetarium-quality stargazing, and an intimacy with the alpine realm that cannot be appreciated by spending the night in the arbor cathedrals of lower elevations.
And so, this article will focus on more advanced considerations for tarp camping above the treeline in inclement weather.
The two biggest mistakes novice lightweight mountain travelers make when tarping above the treeline is thinking that a larger tarp provides better weather protection, and that stakes and guylines provide opportunities for weight savings.
Consider two tarps, side by side. One measures 10' x 12' and the other 5' x 8', both staked as A-frames in similar configurations, with each corner staked to the ground, broadside to a stiff wind. Now consider the rule that deflection of the normal surface of a panel in tension is proportional to (1) the surface area of the panel, and (2) the degree of tension in the panel, and you can begin to appreciate the two most important factors that go into properly pitching a shelter in inclement conditions.
First let's consider the surface area of the panel. A larger surface exposed to wind will deflect more in response to wind than a smaller surface exposed, given that tension across both surfaces is the same. Conclusion: use a smaller tarp if you are going to be exposed to high winds. If you don't buy into this philosophy, then consider that the world's strongest mountain tents are those that (1) have the smallest sized panels (visualize a geodesic dome tent with eight criss-crossing poles vs. only two or four), or (2) are low in height, width, and length (like the Integral Designs MK1XL, the de facto standard of blizzard-ready mountain tents).
Small Tarps for Inclement Weather. The SpinTarp X, an ultralight silicone-coated 4.25' x 7.75' tarp by Bozeman Mountain Works (4.15 ounces) is designed to be used in conjunction with a bivy sack to provide overhead rain protection. Combined with plenty of tent stakes and guylines, it is well-suited to exposed conditions above the treeline.
Second, let's consider the tension in the panel. Since we don't have the option of using tent poles to reduce panel tension, we are simply left with stakes and guylines. As you add stakes (and guylines) to the sides of your tarp, you are effectively creating more and more (smaller) tension panels in the structure. The result: higher tension forces across the panel (resulting from smaller panel surface area). Stakes and guylines don't weigh much – a set of 12 titanium skewer stakes and a set of Spectra guylines can weigh less than 3.25 ounces, while providing the structural integrity to your tarp required for weathering storms above the treeline. Conclusion: don't skimp on stakes and guylines if you are going to be exposed to high winds.
High Uintas, UT: This tarp is actually two Integral Design Sil Ponchos, snapped together to form the ridgeline of a tarp pitch 8' in length and 10' in width, with its low end into the wind, which spilled down from a 12,000-foot ridge during the night. Panel tension and a tight pitch were maintained by using a total of 14 titanium skewer stakes and fine-diameter guylines.
We've addressed the need to deal with high winds already, but what about precipitation? Using a smaller tarp means a greater risk of getting wet from sideways blowing rain, snow, or spindrift.
Pitching windward edges close to the ground is one way to minimize the effects of wind and windblown precipitation on your sleep system. "Beaks," such as those found on the front of Shires' TarpTents, and the ends of the GoLite Cave series of tarps, also help. However, swirling winds that change direction often are the high-mountain norm, and tarp design and pitching options can only take you so far.
The mainstream mountain tarp aficionado recognizes these limitations, and often complements the tarp with a synthetic sleeping bag, a down bag with a nearly waterproof-breathable shell (e.g., Gore DryLoft or Pertex Endurance), or a waterproof-breathable bivy sack. There are a few problems with these sometimes futile attempts at making your gear work together, however:
Thus, I'm a strong advocate of bivy sacks that have a waterproof bottom (so you can leave a ground cloth at home) but with a highly breathable, water-resistant top (so they can effectively pass perspired moisture vapor quickly). An uncompromised DWR finish for the bivy top is a must so that precipitation can bead up on the fabric and roll off without penetrating into the rest of the sleep system. I've been successfully using bivy sacks with Pertex Microlight, Pertex Quantum, and Nextec Epic Malibu tops for nearly three years with great success in terrible weather. This approach works especially well in the winter, when condensation retained inside a Gore-Tex bivy sack can cripple your sleep system in a matter of only a day or two.
Breathable Bivy. A breathable bivy sack, like this 7.5-ounce (6.5 ounce without the zip-out noseeum mesh window) Pertex Quantum-and-silnylon bivy sack from Bozeman Mountain Works, can add significant warmth in windy conditions, and excellent water protection from wind-driven rain. Other possibilities to check out include the Oware Epic bivy, the Bibler Winter Bivy, and the Equinox Nylon Bivy.
Another benefit of a bivy sack (not unique to those with breathable tops) are additional warmth due to the entrapment of insulating air between the bivy sack and the sleeping bag (improves resistance to conductive heat loss), additional warmth due to inhibited exchange of warm with cool air inside the bivy (improves convective heat loss due to the bellows effect of air exchange), and the additional warmth afforded by wind resistance from the bivy sack (improves convective heat loss by maintaining boundary layer thickness through which the inside-outside temperature gradient is defined).
Staying Warmer with a Bivy. This photo was taken the morning after a subfreezing night in the High Uintas with winds in excess of 40 mph. The solution was simply to pitch the tarp (an Integral Designs Sil Poncho) low enough to spill wind effectively with plenty of stakes and guylines to maintain panel tension. The bivy sack, with a Pertex Quantum top (6.5 oz), was essential to staying warm in conjunction with an ultralight, 16 ounce down sleeping bag.
Arguments against such a system are that a bivy is heavier, and the weight is better spent on a warmer sleeping bag (also consider that a warmer down bag that is wet is not only not all that warm, but also heavier!). Epic Malibu bivy sacks weigh in the range of 9-12 ounces, while Pertex Microlight bivies range from 8-10 ounces. The recent release of Bozeman Mountain Works' "X" Bivy (silnylon floor and Pertex Quantum bottom) reduces the weight to 6.5 ounces. This almost closes the gap between bivy sacks and ground sheets (remember that ½ of that bivy weight is a groundsheet you'd take anyway). The bottom line: a sub-12 ounce, breathable bivy sack affords tremendous wind and rain protection that cannot be provided by adding insulation (like down fill) to a sleep system.
Pitching a tarp above the treeline requires a bit of innovation at times. Trekking poles give you the opportunity to strike camp virtually anywhere, because they provide you with strong supports for the ridgeline. Those who do not use trekking poles sometimes carry dedicated collapsible "tent" poles (the ultralighter's choice: carbon fiber poles from Fibraplex), and as often, take advantage of natural features such as sticks, large boulders, or existing equipment, such as ice axes, to rig the ridgeline.
Tent stakes for alpine camping should be thin, strong, and short. They need to be thin because the alpine realm is a rocky place and thin stakes snake their way through rocky ground better than thick ones. Stakes should be strong for the same reason – they need to resist a bit of driving force into the ground as the point deflects off rocks. Finally, they should be short (and thus, light and easy to place and remove) – six inches is plenty. My recommendation: titanium skewer style stakes 1/8" in diameter. There are stronger stakes (including those made with high strength aluminum in tube, T-, or V-shaped cross sections) offered by other companies, but they are heavier (0.5 oz or more each). The difference between a set of 12 1/8" x 6" skewer type titanium stakes (0.25 oz ea) and the latter is 3 ounces – significant when you consider that this could be an extra 3 extra ounces of down fill in your sleeping bag (which can boost its rating by 5 or 10 degrees) or 375 calories of extra food energy. Furthermore, the T- and V-shaped stakes are very difficult – and painful – to place and remove with bare hands in hard ground.
Guylines for tarp camping should be strong, light, short, and plentiful.
I've tarp camped with other ultralighters that use fishing line or dental floss for their guylines. I've also watched the slightest breeze snap these guylines, and I wouldn't trust them above the treeline. Search for guylines that have very high strength:weight ratios. Those made with pure Spectra (such as AirCore) or Spectra cores with nylon sheaths (such as Kelty TripTease) make great guylines for fiercely windy conditions.
Guyline Creativity. This picture shows the kind of innovation needed to optimize tarp performance in high winds. Here, a single long guyline is threaded through each of the tarp's side guyline tie-outs, with a series of six tent stakes securing apex points along the guyline. By adding only a single additional tent stake along each side, you are able to distribute panel tension across more panels, resulting in a tauter, more wind-resistant pitch.
Guylines can be pre-tied with overhand, figure-eight, or bowline loops in each end. They should be about two or three feet in length (which minimizes tangling during storage). Longer guylines can be made by girth hitching multiple short pieces together. This gives you a very flexible system for pitching in a variety of configurations. Once your guyline length is set, simply girth hitch one end loop to the tarp's guyline tie-outs, insert the stake in the other end loop, tension the guyline, and set the stake. Tension is adjusted by resetting the stake, rather than fiddling around with a tautline hitch, that artistic adjustable knot so prominently showcased by the Boy Scouts as an essential skill. This is where the benefit of titanium skewer stakes really shines – since they are so easy to place and remove relative to other types of stakes, this guyline-and-stake system used for tarp adjustment is simple, fast, and effective.
This article focused on three key points:
Tarp camping above the treeline in inclement weather is not an essential skill for the average backpacker. However, for the lightweight hiker that likes to travel above the treeline for long distances, having the flexibility to pitch a camp anywhere you like, and knowing that you are going to have a shelter and sleep system that can handle high winds and driving rain, opens up new possibilities in your backcountry explorations. With this skill you'll achieve a level of intimacy with the mountains that cannot be enjoyed from beneath a canopy of trees.

Re: "The Dark Knight Rises" Review and Discussion Thread (spoilers)
I read a couple of negative reviews and they really do not put me off of the movie at all except for one thing:
I will put it here in a spoiler box because I don't want to ruffle any feathers and would rather play it safe. The spoiler is not about the plot
"It is said that it is hard to understand the dialog at times and the problem is not just with Bane but other characters in the movie too. I had the same problem with the Dark Knight. In a few scenes with Gary oldman he seems to mumble, especially in the office with Harvey Dent and when he is in the bank vault with Batman. I hope we reaqlly don't have the same problem!"
