After a dry start, weather patterns are becoming more normal, forecasters say, as this season's snow totals catch up to average and another Pacific storm system moves into Summit County today.
Local resorts have enjoyed several days and roughly a dozen inches of new snow this week, a pattern expected to continue through Saturday.
Forecasts are calling for 2-4 inches of snow Thursday and an additional 1-3 inches Thursday night, with precipitation likely to continue Friday and into the weekend.
"Friday looks like a pretty wintry day, and I think it will continue into Saturday," National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist Kyle Fredin said. "What we've been having is continuous trough after continuous Pacific trough coming across the central Rockies, bringing consistent snow conditions up there, which is pretty normal."
"Normal" has finally become the forecasters' buzzword for Summit County's weather in recent weeks.
The storms, which have pounded Breckenridge with 2 feet of snow at the higher elevations so far his week, brought February's snow totals up to a very normal 19 inches.
Snow totals across the region and the state are also on the rise. The Upper Colorado River Basin, which includes Summit County, has climbed to 80 percent of average, up from barely 60 percent a few weeks ago.
"Overall, the state so far is slightly below normal," Fredin said. "But we sure have caught up from what we had in January. ... The end of February was close to normal. Not quite there, but probably (a difference that is) unnoticeable to the average eye."
Storms this week brought 19 inches of new snow to Copper Mountain, 7 inches to Arapahoe Basin Ski Area and Keystone Resort and 24 inches to Breckenridge Ski Resort.
"New snow is always great snow at Breck," resort spokeswoman Austyn Williams said Wednesday. "Eleven inches in the past 24 hours, timing couldn't be better as we head into March."
The fresh powder has allowed Arapahoe Basin to open the Montezuma Bowl.
"(It) looks like ski season is in full swing," spokeswoman Leigh Hierholzer said. "More snow and more terrain in the forecast!"
But the added snow continues to increase the risk of avalanches in the High Country. The danger rating is set to high on north, northeast, east and southeast slopes near treeline in the Summit County and Vail area. Natural avalanches are likely and human-triggered slides are very likely, according to forecasts from the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.
Weather and avalanche forecasts are available online at www.weather.gov and avalanche.state.co.us.

MORAGA -- Less than a year after graduating from Saint Mary's College, Matthew Dellavedova will have his number retired.
The Gaels' all-time leader in numerous categories, including career scoring, Dellavedova is just the second men's basketball player in Saint Mary's history earn the honor, joining Tom Meschery.
Dellavedova wore No. 4 during a decorated four-year career in Moraga.
Now a rookie with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Australia native will be present for a pregame ceremony Feb. 15 when the Gaels play BYU.
Coach Randy Bennett first announced plans to retire Dellavedova's jersey number during the Presesaon Tipoff Dinner.
But the ceremony date was only recently finalized. It will take place during the NBA's All-Star break.
One of Dellavedova's most memorable moments as a Gael came last season against BYU when he hit a running 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Saint Mary's a 70-69 win at the Marriott Center.
Dellavedova was also a three-time All-West Coast Conference pick and set school records in career 3-pointers, assists, free throw percentage, games played and games started.
He excelled in the classroom, as well, and was school's first-ever male first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American.

I LOVE the name Fiona. I think it's definitely in the "fearless" category- strong, intelligent, but sweet. The similar name- Fionna- is the name of the female-equivilent main character from the cartoon Adventure Time, and this name cojures the perfect image of her- a tough, curious, fun little adventurer...

I like this app a lot. I find it much easier to manage my open windows by hovering over dock icons (which is what this app offers) compared to using expose.
However the app (version 1.1.3) does not work properly in a multi-monitor setup where the dock is not on the primary display. In this setup, the preview window goes on the primary display rather than above the dock, which is very annoying.
Also, in my experience the support is not good. I have sent the support 2 emails with questions and did not received an email back.
I've found this app very useful. Its main purpose is to bring Windows 7's Aero Peek and Aero Snap to Mac OS X. Hover over an app's icon in the Dock and it will show you thumbnails of the app's windows. Hover over the thumbnail to preview the window in full size or click it to switch to that window. Drag a window to a screen edge to have it automatically fill the whole screen or just that half of the screen. HyperDock also includes some enhancements to make it easier to move and resize windows and move windows between spaces. Some apps (currently iTunes, iCal, and BusyCal) have special Dock previews to show currently playing song and the day's events. You can also set up different clicks on Dock icons for different actionsâ"for example, you could kill an app by middle-clicking on it.
Quite nice. Nothing spectacular though.
Froze my computer. Uninstalled.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Saturday, April 27, 2013
AUGUSTA (WRDW) -- There was excitement, and a lot of it, at a meeting of the Medical College of Georgia Foundation on Saturday afternoon.
"This Foundation of the Medical College of Georgia will be in receipt of an amount totaling $66 million," announced Dr. Cecil F. Whitaker, followed by gasps of surprise and thunderous applause.
Members of the foundation voted unanimously to approve the largest donation ever to the college.
"Oh, I think it's a game-changer for the Medical College of Georgia," said Dr. Jim Osborne, president and CEO of the foundation.
He says, based on his research, the $66 million donation is also possibly the largest donation to a public college in Georgia.
In his will, the late Dr. J. "Harold" Harrison, a 1948 MCG graduate, leaves $66 million dollars to his alma mater.
"He made a comment that he always appreciated the Medical College of Georgia because it took a country boy and made a doctor out of him," Osborne said.
However, the gift, called the Harrison Fellowship Endowment Fund, won't go to construction of new buildings; it'll go straight to students and faculty.
That's good news for pre-med Georgia Regents University student Amber Colquitt.
"Personally, myself, that's how I pay for college and pay for all my books is through scholarships. I receive several. I receive about four scholarships," she said.
The donation will also be used to recruit more endowed professors, or chairs, which is probably the most important recruiting tool there is.
"We are so, so blessed to have these amazingly talented and educated professors to work under and be our mentors," Colquitt said.
Osborne says this announcement is nothing short of a transformation for this institution.
"People that we want to stay in Georgia who are from Georgia who may go to an Ivy League school might want to come here now because we can give them scholarships," he said.
Harrison is a graduate of both the University of Georgia and MCG. He's originally from the town of Kite in Johnson County, Ga. At a young age, only 11 years after he graduated, he established the nation's first vascular training program in Atlanta. When he retired more recently, he went back to the farm as a cattle rancher in Jefferson County. He donated another $10 million back in 2010 to build an Education Commons Building at GRU. He died on June 2, 2012.

Wrongful death suit filed in car crash
Family claims 2 teachers let students leave school to drive to fast-food restaurant
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 11:07 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The family of a woman killed in a car crash near Northridge High School in 2010 has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against two teachers at the school.
Susan Kines Langston, 43, was killed when a summer school student collided with her vehicle at about 11 a.m. June 28, 2010. The civil suit filed in Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court on Wednesday claims that two teachers violated school procedures by allowing the students to leave school that morning.
A criminal vehicular manslaughter charge against the driver, Marcus Terrell Crawford, now 21, is still pending in Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court. Crawford and four other teenagers had left the school grounds to buy lunch at a nearby fast-food restaurant.
Langston was a first-grade teacher at Skyland Elementary School and the daughter Joe Kines, the former University of Alabama defensive coordinator and former UA interim head football coach.
Langston's husband, Keith Langston, filed a suit in May against the school system. Circuit Judge Scott Donaldson dismissed that case last week at the request of attorneys on both sides.
The couple's sons, then 14 and 7, were injured in the crash. Susan Langston was driving the older son to summer football workouts on June 28, 2010.
The suit filed by Northport attorney Michael Comer requests compensatory and punitive damages.

The three men accused of killing venture capitalist Raveesh Kumra in his Monte Sereno mansion late last year made off with a coin collection, jewelry and cash, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday that offers a few fresh details about what happened on a violent November night shrouded in legal secrecy.
Kumra, a tech investor who once owned The Mountain Winery in Saratoga, was killed on Nov. 30 at age 66, the first homicide in the small, affluent town since 1972. Police say his wife, Harinder, called 911 after being beaten by three people, who also ransacked the opulent, 7,000-square-foot gated home.
The complaint reveals the nature of the loot for the first time, as well as the fact that all three men have prior convictions either for residential burglary or possession of drugs for sale. It also contends that the evidence against the men includes written threats to badly injure or kill Kumra and/or his wife. One man was on probation or parole at the time of his alleged participation.
Los Gatos police investigators, who are spearheading a regional task-force effort to solve the murder, have been extremely closemouthed about the ongoing investigation, and a judge has sealed the court file at the request of prosecutors. But the criminal complaint is public information.
Prior trouble
One of the three men, Javier R. Garcia, was formally charged Wednesday with the same six felony counts they each face -- including murder during the commission of a robbery. Garcia was arrested Dec. 27 in Oakland.
The robbery is a "special circumstance'' that qualifies all of the men for the death penalty -- if District Attorney Jeff Rosen decides to seek it.
Typically in Santa Clara County, prosecutors use the death penalty as leverage to get defendants to plead guilty in exchange for life without parole. The aim is to spare witnesses and relatives from having to endure a trial while protecting the public.
Garcia, 21, appeared in court for less than three minutes Wednesday, wearing a red jail uniform indicating his classification as an alleged high-risk offender. He did not speak. According to the complaint, he was on either probation or parole for possessing drugs for sale at the time of Kumra's death.
One of his alleged accomplices, Lukis D. Anderson, 26, was arraigned last week. He was arrested while in custody in Santa Clara County for another, unspecified charge. Another alleged accomplice, Deangelo J. Austin, 21, is set to be charged Thursday.
Gang enhancement
In addition to special-circumstance murder, the men are charged with one count each of first-degree robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, and two counts each of false imprisonment.
All three are also charged with making written criminal threats to badly injure or kill the couple via an unspecified "electronic device," most likely using a cellphone to text.
A fourth suspect, Raven Chanel Dixon, 22, of Alameda, was arraigned late last month on suspicion of being an accessory to homicide with a gang enhancement in connection with Kumra's death. There's no indication -- at least so far -- that any of the three men charged with murder are affiliated with a gang.

Notes: Scents and Subtle Sounds was teased prior to AC/DC Bag. This show contained the Phish debuts of 99 Problems and Big Pimpin', both of which featured guest performances by Jay-Z and Cyro Baptista. After 99 Problems, Jay-Z remarked, presumably referring to the Phish scene, that "You all been hiding this from me." Jay-Z then said that the members of Phish told him that if the fans made enough noise that he could play one more song, which they naturally did, hence Big Pimpin'. Prior to Hood, Trey jokingly announced an Eric Clapton guest appearance. Mike teased Entrance of the Gladiators before Hood, which was unfinished.

First set Carini is worth a listen. I enjoy that song and the different directions it can go. I tend to enjoy the ones that aren't as dark more, but you need both for balance in life.
Second set features Jay-Z. I think this is really worth a listen because you get to hear the moment when Jay-Z gets it. He goes on to reach new levels in music entertainment after this show. Not that he wasn't already wildly successful.
Overall not one of the shows that I want to go back to except to listen to the tracks with Jay-Z just because it is great to hear the instrumental parts that seem to fit well for me.

1. It's all a matter of perspective: 01:29
Last night, I had an "I suck" moment. I mispronounced a word and felt very much like a newbie. Simon pointed out something similar before. He teases me about the fact that I use words like "thrice" instead of "three times". My language is more formal, bookish.
So yeah, I had an "I suck" moment, unhappy with my awkwardness.
I was about to clam up and have one of those hot chocolate days, but Simon listened to me and helped me figure out that little bug. That helped immensely. As we walked through a park, he reminded me that I'm new here, I'm from a different culture, and my errors are just like those of anyone who learned English primarily through reading.
Hmm. Come to think of it, that *is* true. Although my family speaks to me primarily in English and so do my friends, I just read and write so much that the way I think of words is visual, not auditory. I need to listen to more people, I think!
I explained how I felt, and I learned a bit more about myself. I remembered how I was much like that in grade school as well: nose buried in books, comfortable with more words than normal, but letting that vocabulary get in the way of communication. It's still something I need to work on.
Hmm. There's nothing wrong with being bookish. I should learn how to set people at ease so that they know I'm not trying to impress them with words...
2. More malong pics: 11:04

Analysis of Angola: Probability of Falling Victim to the Resource Curse
A research paper by Thunderbird students Christian Lorentzen and Anthony Petrunin
Executive Summary: To determine whether Angola is at risk of falling victim to the resource curse we chose to implement a framework developed by Paul Stevens and Evelyn Dietsche (Stevens and Dietsche, 2008) based on their careful study of leading academic writings on causes of the resource curse. The framework employs three main factors to determine whether a country is likely to experience the resource curse:
1) Is there the existence of historic well-functioning institutions already in place?•Considering that Angola's present leadership came to power through a civil war in which the institutions left by the Portuguese were destroyed and new centralized systems were created, there is risk that Angola's leadership is not dependent on a system that would lead them to make decisions in the best interest of the country.
2) Is the relative value of the resource rent high or low?•Angola is dependent on high-rent oil exports. The oil royalties are high enough to satisfy the national budget without the necessity of additional revenue streams. As a result the leaders lack motivation and incentive to develop other sectors of the economy.
3) Is the natural resource harvested across large or small geographic areas?•Oil has a small geographical footprint that does not require local support systems or labor. Therefore Angola's dependence on oil is unlikely to create cluster economies.
By analyzing these three questions in the context of modern day Angola, we came to the conclusion that Angola is at a high risk of becoming a resource cursed country.

October 13, 2005
When Augusta commissioners voted last month to increase yearly garbage collection fees, it meant those living in urban areas would have to start paying for the service for the first time. News 12 is on your side to explain why those living in that area say they should have to pay.
There's been a multi-million dollar deficit in the city's garbage fund for years now and the approved increase will help fix that. But those who aren't so well off say it also means they'll be charged a fee they don't have the money to pay.
"My trash is not being picked up every day, not twice a week as it's supposed to be picked up," said Tony Garrett.
Tony Garrett isn't happy with the city's garbage service, but has never complained because he's never had to pay for it, until now.
"People are bringing home checks with not enough money on them already, and for us to be paying for garbage to be picked up, it's just not right," Garrett said.
Last month, commissioners voted to increase the yearly garbage pickup rate. Before, those in the county tax district paid $195 for the service. Now that will jump to $276, an $81 increase. But for those in the urban tax district and typically lower income areas, their service was always part of their property tax. But now it means they'll have to pay the same as the county district, $276 dollars.
And James Young is concerned that it's an increase his 90-year-old mother won't be able to handle.
"I would tell the commissioners to find another source to provide the revenue required to provide the services," Young said.
But for many living in the county tax district and more affluent areas, the increase is welcomed because it also comes with the promise of lower property tax.
"Anytime property taxes are lower, we're happy," said Ginger Flanagin.
Ginger Flanagin says the increase won't put a big dent in her wallet, but she's sympathetic to those who it will affect.
"Yes, lower property taxes are a gift, but not at the sake of making someone else suffer," Flanagin said.

NAPA -- Living life on the edge as a defensive end isn't the most glamorous job in the NFL, but it suits Jason Hunter just fine.
The Raiders starting left defensive end loves ``setting the edge,'' a part of the game which doesn't carry with it the kind of fame and glory that comes from rushing the passer.
``Basically setting an edge is getting an extension on that tackle and knocking him back, that way it stops the line of scrimmage so the (running) back can't just get to the edge, and it forces him back inside to where the help is,'' Hunter said.
Setting edges has been an issue for a Raiders defense that has been run-challenged for the better part of the last decade. Hunter's willingness to execute that skill, as well as his work ethic and demeanor, are what led him back to general manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen.
In most cases, if Hunter has done his job, he hasn't made the tackle himself. Rather, he's set up an interior lineman or linebacker to make the hit.
McKenzie was a personnel executive in Green Bay when Hunter played with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State from 2006 through 2008. When Allen was defensive coordinator in Denver in 2011, Hunter was a reserve defensive end, having played the season before in a 3-4 defense as an outside linebacker.
On a Raiders defensive line that too often has failed in terms of maintaining gaps and position despite having well-regarded talent, Hunter (6-foot-4, 270 pounds) carries a reputation of carrying out his assignments with enthusiasm.
``Jason loves football and he enjoys competing,'' Allen said. `` He likes the physical aspect of the game where you're not begging Jason to come out here and want to play. You're not begging Jason to get the pads on.''
Hunter was particularly excited to get the pads on this season after missing all of 2012 on injured reserve with a torn triceps injury. It happened at a time when Hunter had ascended to a starting position under Jack Del Rio, who replaced Allen as defensive coordinator.
Del Rio's observations were similar those of Allen when he spoke to reporters in training camp a year ago.
``Jason is a rugged defensive lineman, that's what we're looking for on our defensive line,'' Del Rio said. ``Every day he brings it with a passion. I haven't seen him yet not ramped up and ready to play hard and tough.''
The timing of the injury could not have been worse.
``It really hurt me, man,'' Hunter said. ``I thought I was having a real good training camp. It was hard, sitting at home, watching on TV and seeing all m peers from around the league playing games. It made me more focused to take care of my body, do the right things.''

Despite a monthly uptick in default filings against delinquent homeowners, foreclosure activity continued a long-term downward march in April, according to a report Tuesday.
Foreclosure sales were up slightly in some Bay Area counties but were well below where they were a year ago, according to ForeclosureRadar, which released the report on April foreclosure activity.
The number of homes held by banks or scheduled for sale also continued to decline, the company reported.
An improving economy and government foreclosure-avoidance programs are reducing the numbers of homes sold on courthouse steps, the company said.
"In general, the longer-term foreclosure trend is down," the company said. It takes nearly 300 days to complete a foreclosure in California.
Auctions of foreclosed homes once guaranteed a steady supply of Bay Area homes for sale, but canceled sales have cut into that flow.
Homes sold at auction or taken back by banks were down 29 percent in Contra Costa County from March, down 15 percent in Alameda County, up 11 percent in Santa Clara County and up 15 percent in San Mateo County.
In all four counties, the number of homes that were sold or taken back by banks at auction was down from a year ago -- a 58 percent drop in Alameda County, 61 percent in Contra Costa County, 47 percent in Santa Clara County and 41.5 percent in San Mateo County.
Even the rise in default notices -- the first step in the foreclosure process -- in several counties in April is just a return to normal levels following a deep dive in January, the company said.
That dip coincided with the California Homeowner Bill of Rights taking effect Jan. 1.
"Lenders were not sure about how to proceed so there was a plummet in notices, and it looks like it's coming back," said Madeline Schnapp, ForeclosureRadar's chief economist.
She said lenders "were just playing it safe, learning what's in the law and having their legal teams pour through it."
Banks canceled many more foreclosure sales than they held. Cancellations can be caused by a loan modification or short sale or a paperwork problem.
In Alameda County, for example, there were 306 cancellations and 91 sales in which a third party bought the home or it failed to sell and remained in the lender's hands.
Seventy homes were sold at auction or taken back by lenders in Santa Clara County, while 315 sales were canceled.

DELHI, India (WOMENSENEWS)--It is a mellow December morning in Delhi. Soft sunlight filters through the trees that line the boulevards of the city's stately Krishna Menon Marg neighborhood.
Suman Krishan Kant, however, is oblivious to the tranquillity outside the windows of her well-appointed bungalow.
The prominent social activist is reviewing and paying bills while files wait on the table for her attention. The elegant waiting room outside is beginning to fill in with men and women hoping to meet with her and enlist her advocacy with government agencies on their behalf. One of them, for instance, is a widow who hopes Kant will help her application for an increase in her pension.
It is the beginning of another working day for the president of the country's all-women's political party.
In October, Kant, the widow of former vice president Krishan Kumar Kant, joined with other influential women to launch the United Women's Front to address issues such as women's illiteracy, early marriage and tokenism in parliament, where women hold just 8 percent of seats. To qualify for official party status, the group had to muster at least 100 members and pay about $300 in registration fees.
"Women have simply not been getting the kind of governance they deserve," says Kant. "Take Delhi for example. It has a female chief minister, yet it is one of the most dangerous places for women . . . All this is precisely because we do not have enough women in decision-making and in the political process. A few women here and there cannot make much of a difference."
Prem Ahluwalia is a journalist who specializes in women's issues and directs the Dehli-based Institute for South Asian Women, which seeks to foster ties among women in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and the Maldives. She is also the United Women Front's national general secretary.
"It is for the first time in the history of India that a national political party has been formed by women," she says. "In fact it is the only party of women in the world. We need to ensure that the issues of priority concern to half of its population remain in the forefront of the pressing issues on India's national agenda."
Land of Contradictions
India is often called a land of contradictions and that pertains to the status of women here. The national constitution guaranteed women's legal equality in 1950. India also elected Indira Ghandi in 1966, making her the world's second female prime minister after Sri Lanka's Sirimavo Bandarnaike, who took office in 1960.
This past July Pratibha Patil was elected the country's first female president, a mostly ceremonial position that nonetheless leaves India with a female head of state.
Women hold top cabinets posts and at least three states have female chief ministers. Village councils reserve 33 percent of their seats for women.
On the other hand, millions of women live in poverty, illiteracy, malnourishment and ill-health. In November, the World Economic Forum's latest gender gap index put India among the world's 10 most gender-biased economies, with women's participation in the paid work force at 36 percent.
Recently, Sonia Gandhi, the female president of the All India Congress Party, the ruling party in the coalition government, said she was unable to pass a bill first introduced in 1996 that ensures 33 percent of parliamentary seats--the widely assumed critical mass--go to women.
The Ministry of Women and Child Development in 2006 drafted a bill for the prevention of workplace sexual harassment that was supposed to have been passed this year. However, it is still pending.
New Law Lacks Implementation
National statistics from 2005 to 2006 show 40 percent of Indian women suffer from domestic abuse. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act passed through parliament in 2005 and came into force last year.
Lawyers, however, widely lament that insufficient arrangements have been made for them to handle cases brought under the law. For instance, the trained personnel--counselors, protection officers, service providers--called for by the law are not in place.
The party has these types of issues in its sights. In the two months since its formation, however, it has focused on recruitment and making 50 percent female representation in parliament its chief objective.
So far the party has established organizations in 16 of India's 28 states. The groups vary in size. The Delhi chapter, for instance, claims 25,000 members; another state chapter claims 5,000.
The chapters are mainly led by veteran activists. The state of Orissa, for instance, has Shanti Das, a well-known union activist; Punjab has Pam Rajput, a prominent women's rights activist and scholar.
Men Join In
But that doesn't mean the party excludes men.
As Women's eNews visits Kant's office, in fact, Mohamed Shafique, 24, walks in, pulls out a file from the cupboard and starts leafing through it. He is preparing to begin the day as one of the party's workers in Delhi, which holds state-level elections in July 2008, the first test of the new party's ability to make a mark.
United Women Front is planning to field candidates for all 72 of Delhi's assembly seats. So far it is stressing education and safety for women and an end to all kinds of violence against women.
"We need the youth," says Kant, referring to Shafique, "because India has a young population." According to official statistics here, 50 percent of India's population of 1.1 billion in 2006 was under 25.
"We are not against men," Kant says. "We need men to work with us and we need their support."
However, she draws certain lines.
"Men will not be part of the national committee," says Kant firmly. "Men will be members of state chapters only; but we will have only women at the national level."

Comments about Hemp:
I'm on my 4th pair of sidewalk surfers and I dig these hemp ones a lot. The only issue I have with these shoes is they do not breathe well when you're not wearing socks. My feet get pretty sweaty when I'm wearing them in the summer and they stink! Ha. They do last for a year or two with every day use and I will keep buying them as long as I can find a pair I like on sale. I don't pay full price for them because they're sandals and I cannot wear them if it's raining or snowing outside so I can't justify paying full price for a pair.
I love how they shape to the bottom of your feet so they become very comfy as they wear out. Definitely my favorite kicks to sport when I leave the house!

Smart EV Coming to the United States in Fall 2010
An electric version of the smart fortwo car, like this European model, will begin appearing across the United States in October.
Smart USA, which recently debuted its smart fortwo electric vehicle (EV) in New York, will deploy a fleet of 250 of the EVs across the United States in October. The company said it will target key electrification leadership cities and DOE grant areas, but it has not yet released its list of cities. Smart USA is looking for partnerships and is targeting companies, municipalities, organizations, and individuals interested in making a passionate statement on conservation and environmental awareness. Daimler AG, which owns the smart fortwo brand, will begin full production of the EV in 2012 for the 2013 model year.
The smart fortwo EVs are powered by a 30-kilowatt drive motor and a 16.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. It can be fully recharged in about eight hours with a 220-volt outlet, the type used for electric clothes dryers and other appliances, and it can also be recharged with a standard 110-volt outlet. The vehicles can reach highway speeds of 60 miles per hour and offer a range of 82 miles on a single charge. The tiny car is only 8.8 feet long, 5.1 feet tall, and 5.1 feet wide. See the Daimler press release and the smart USA Web site.

The Off-Broadway hit, 'Love, Loss and What I Wore,' premieres regionally at the Backstage Theatre in Breckenridge tonight and runs through Feb. 2.
The romantic comedy, which won a Drama Desk award, is based on the 1995 book of the same name by Illene Beckerman, adapted by the late writer/director Nora Ephron (of "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle") and her sister Delia.
The story consists of a series of monologues and vignettes of important moments in the lives of various women, from a female gang member to a cancer patient, as they discuss their loves, losses and what they happened to be wearing at the time. Ephron added anecdotes from friends and material from her own 2006 book, "I Feel Bad About My Neck," into the adaptation.
"It reminds me of A.R. Gurney," said longtime local and Colorado Mountain College professor of English and communication, Joyce Mosher, who makes up part of the cast. "There are four mother-and-daughter pairs and it is built around memories of what clothing was being worn in different stages of these females' lives," she said.
The rotating cast of five includes 19 local actresses and a guest actress from Denver, Backstage artistic director Christopher Willard said. The cast changes every week, with Judy Phelan-Hill, Lenore Giardina, Megan Meek Ramig, Genevieve Price and Ashley Prill starring on opening weekend.
"I love the various messages in the play," said Willard, who directs the production, which he described as "very funny," "surprisingly moving" and "truthful."
"I also love the simplicity, class and theatricality of the show," he said. "Five women, five chairs, a few projections - it doesn't get more economical than that. Yet, so much emotion, humor and love run through this piece."
The Backstage received several donated clothing items that will be part of the backdrop. For example, there is an item one of the actresses wore when attending yoga class during chemotherapy, Willard said.
"Chris Willard is rounding up some people who've been involved in theater for many years and putting on this charming show," said Mosher, who has been with the Backstage - which will celebrate its 40th anniversary in September - for 37 years. "I'm very proud of the theater. It's not easy to be a community theater for that many years. We are Colorado's longest-lived theater year-round except for Germinal theater in Denver."
Audiences should note that the performance contains mature situations and adult language. Mixed drinks, including a specialty Pink Cosmopolitan created for the run of "Love, Loss and What I Wore," will be available at the Backstage bar.
NOTE: This article has been updated. The original stated that the actresses would be wearing the donated articles of clothing. In fact, the clothing makes up the backdrop and the actresses wear black in the production. -etm

Portland police are investigating an armed robbery at a TD Bank ATM on Union Street in Portland on Thursday.
A woman was at the ATM around 5:30 p.m. when she was approached by a masked man who showed her a handgun and demanded she make a withdrawal, Lt. Robert Ridge of Portland police said. She did, but no amount of cash was given.
The woman was at the ATM to make a withdrawal, but had not made one yet.
The man was described as a light-skinned black man with a mask covering half his face, standing about 6 feet 2 inches tall and wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and jeans., Ridge said.
The suspect ran west to Danforth Street and Pleasant Street after getting the cash. A K9 track was unable to lead police to the man.

Okay, I knew for sometime I'd write a review, I just didn't know for which show I went to. Well, a few days after the fact, I've decided that Merriweather was the money show.
Limb by Limb opened the show. I hadn't seen this song open a show since 6-30-98, which was incredible so my hopes were high. Unfortunately, Merriweather Post has a horrible angle, so I couldn't see the band, but I guarantee they were jammin, cause everyone around me was -forgive me- bouncing around. Farmhouse is a great song I never mind. The jam is tight, the changes are simple...it just was surprising since they played that at Merriweather last year. Get Back on the Train is one I don't quite care much for yet. I liked it better acoustic, and it's one I need to learn to like. If there was any doubt, it vanished when I heard that open A chord of Divided Sky. The last Divded I heard was flubbed so badly they ditched it in Barcelona last year, so this version swept me away. Train Song, a great, sweet breather, was the worst version I've heard. I've seen it a bunch of times, so this version did nothing for me. Finally, I see Llama. This was my first Llama, and according to ZZYZX, the odds of that were about .04%. I rocked out to it, as did everyone around me. Driver is nice enough, but I was thinking to myself, "C'mon guys, kick it up a notch." They must have heard me, because Runaway Jim was on fire.
But that was nothing compared.
They returned with PYITE, one of my favorites. Yes, this song seems to follow me around, but I'm not complaining! That was a fun jam, nothing particularly stands out as monumental, but it got me dancing good. I was much more excited about Free. My last Free was Fall 96, and now that Free's radio airplay has calmed down, I was glad to see it again. I love the way they keep the tempo so steady. What's the Use is real out there. It's kinda spacy, again....pick up the energy level. I must admit the show I caught were definitely spaced out by many slow-it-down songs. Then it was time for the Meatstick. This song does shock my brain. I loved it on the Bearsville tapes, and I loved it the night before. Though caught off guard at its second appearance in 2 shows, I wasn't upset at all. What could cap this night off better than Mike's?? Another song abandoned in Barcelona, this version tore shit up. I feared they might kill my energy again by segueing into Sleeping Monkey or Swept Away or something, but fear not: My #1 wish list song: Twist Around. I had a minor stroke or something for a second, I went nuts, and loved this awesome version of Twist. They came a little bass intro to a totally smokin Weekapaug.
How can they top that I thought? Encore: Harry Hood. Now Hood is the most common song I've seen, but unlike, say Character Zero, I can't seem to dislike it. Everytime it blows my mind. And this was no exception. I'll have to hear the tapes to see if 98 Merriweather was better, but this version, though shorter, was fantastic. All in all, Merriweather was a great time. Other than the fact that these MD schmucks cannot seem to handle parking, this venue gets the band playing their best. Have fun on tour!

Looking for a way to exert a little adrenaline this summer in Summit County? Strapping onto a cable and flying through the air at nearby zip lining courses is sure to satisfy that itch.
Copper Mountain recently opened its new zip lining course that's family friendly and a great thing to do during a trip or over the weekend.
The prices are great, $15 buys two zip lining runs. A day pass can also be purchased for $39, and gives unlimited access to all of the summer activities available including zip lining, go karting, mini golf, bungee jumping, a climbing wall, scenic chair lift rides and lake activities.
The zip line course is a 300-foot cable that extends over West Lake in Copper's Center Village, dipping over a fountain in the center that will lightly splash zip-liners who opt for the right side of this dual track.
The maximum height of the zip line is 30 feet and speeds of 30 mph may be reached, according to Copper Mountain marketing manager Nell Bailey.
The course will prompt much screaming, giggling and hollering - in a good way.
For those traveling together in pairs, the zip line is a dual track so two can experience the plunge side by side.
Those riding the zip line will feel as though they are flying over the lake.
It's fun to watch too. For parents over the weight limits, or for those fearful of heights, zip lining makes for a great spectator sport.
Tyler Schaefer, 42, from Longmont, experienced the zip line at Copper Mountain while on a weekend vacation.
"Zip lining here is great, I like how it dips over the lake," Schaefer said. "Your feet get a little wet as you go over the fountain - it's nice to have a little relief from the heat."
Copper's zip line is designed for all ages, but participants must weigh a minimum of 50 pounds and should not exceed 250 pounds.
For zip liners with hair longer than shoulder length, bring a tie to fasten into a low ponytail (that's one thing the author forgot to think about).
Copper Mountain's new zip line is the only course of its kind in Summit County, but traveling toward Leadville one will find another new zip lining course.
Top of the Rockies Zip Line, located between Copper Mountain and Leadville, offers dual cables and several long runs traveling 400-850 feet.
The course, which opened July 25, is $125 for adults and $100 for children ages 7-12.
The minimum weight to participate is 70 pounds, and no children under 7 can register.
The zip line crosses over the Continental Divide and the entire course is above 10,000 feet, giving this zip line a downhill trek through the backcountry.
Views of Mount Arkansas, Massive, Elbert and Democrat can be seen from the Top of the Rockies zip lining course.
"This is the only zip line course near Summit County that offers a long, adrenaline packed course through rugged wilderness," said White Mountain Tours general manager Judith Gilman. "Take a deep breath of the crisp, clean mountain air and just go for it."

For many people, today is the best day of the year. Today marks the opening of the two-week deer firearm season, commonly known as "buck season." Today, many hunters will be heading out to the West Virginia woods with new equipment or trusted old equipment, hoping to bring out the deer of a lifetime.
However, what many people, including the hunters themselves, may not realize is that hunting season is an economic boom for the states.
A 2006 study by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services put these benefits in perspective. While this report speaks to both hunting and fishing, deer season is the biggest single event of the year for sportsmen. According to the report, a total of 364,000 resident sportsmen spend an average of $4 million a day on their hunting/fishing activities for an annual total of $1.5 billion.
Since the vast majority hunting and fishing takes place in rural areas, much of this money is spent in rural communities, where it provides a direct and immediate economic benefit. Many business owners have told us that the money earned, especially during buck season can mean the difference between a profit and loss for the entire year.
Other benefits, according to the USFWS study include:
* Resident sportsmen were responsible for adding $491 million in salaries and wages in the state through approximately 25,000 jobs catering to sportsmen. This number probably has increased in the years since 2006.
* Through the spending by sportsmen and wages of the businesses catering them resulted in $138 million in federal taxes and $172 million in state and local taxes being collected.
* Money spent by sportsmen adds a ripple effect of $2 billion into the state's economy through spending on other items.
* These numbers are multiplied when adding the nearly 75,000 out-of-state residents who come here to hunt during the season.
Hunting is a sacred family tradition for many West Virginians. Today, several hunts will include fathers and sons, fathers and daughters or other family combinations will be out in the woods at first light. We wish all hunters a safe and productive hunting season.
And we also wish for everyone - hunter and non-hunter alike - to remember hunting is an activity that greatly benefits the state's economy.

Weather Journal: Hold Onto Your Hats
By Brian Kahn
Tuesday's early springlike conditions aren't sticking around. The brief warmth will give way to cooler, windier weather on Wednesday, with temperatures dropping 7 to 12 degrees across the region by daybreak, accompanied by partly sunny skies.
Overall, temperatures will be in the low 30s across Greater New York. Steady winds between 10 to 20 miles per hour will also be common on Wednesday as well. If you're stepping out for lunch, definitely bring a hat — and be sure to hold onto it. Gusts up to 29 miles per hour are possible from Manhattan to New Haven from 11 a.m. through the early afternoon, making temperatures feel 10 to 15 degrees colder than they are.
Despite Wednesday's dip in temperatures, the current weather pattern over the United States looks a lot like it does in springtime. The polar branch of the jet stream is well north of the Canadian border. That means for the next few weeks, it's unlikely the region will see a blast of cold air like the region did in late January. That doesn't necessarily mean winter is on its way out the door just yet, but with luck the coldest days are behind us.
Weather Journal's Greater New York forecast roundup for Tuesday:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan:
- Actual High: 33; High feels like: 21
- Actual Low: 22; Low feels like: 12
- Weather: Partly sunny and windy, particularly around lunchtime
- Brooklyn: 34/22
- Queens: 33/25
- Bronx: 33/22
- Staten Island: 35/21
- Poughkeepsie, N.Y.: 34/19
- Trenton, N.J.: 34/22
- Islip, Long Island: 36/22
- New Haven, Conn.: 33/22

VAIL - In its second concert in Vail for the Bravo Vail Valley Music Festival, The Philadelphia Orchestra, led by Yannick Nezet-Seguin, performs Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6, "Pathetique," and Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto, with soloist Kirill Gerstein.
The performance takes place at 6 p.m. Saturday at Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail.
"To have Kirill return to us this summer with Yannick Nezet-Seguin and The Philadelphia Orchestra for this landmark concerto is a treat for Vail audiences," said Artistic Director Anne-Marie McDermott. "A pianist with Gerstein's eclectic background of jazz comes to this work with eagerness and vitality, breathing new life into this monumental work."
Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 has a particularly intriguing story behind its composition. Following the lackluster response to Rachmaninoff's First Symphony, the composer fell into a deep depression. He was sent to consult Dr. Nicolai Dahl, and he chose an unorthodox route for his recovery. Friends and family members knew that Rachmaninoff had promised a piano concerto to people in London, so using the method of hypnosis, Dahl comforted Rachmaninoff and encouraged him to begin writing the work. Rachmaninoff recounted laying drowsily in the doctor's office with mantras of "you will begin to write your concerto ... you will write with great ease ..." repeated to him. The treatment cured Rachmaninoff, and the end result, finished in 1901, was dedicated to the doctor.
After the intermission, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6. will be performed.
"Whether a person is a regular concertgoer, a newcomer to symphonic music or anything in between, no one should miss Tchaikovsky in the hands of The Philadelphia Orchestra with Yannick," said Jacqueline Taylor, Bravo's artistic administrator.
The Philadelphia Orchestra is in Vail through July 14, when it concludes its six-concert residency with violinist Joshua Bell playing Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto.
To purchase tickets, call 877-812-5700 or visit www.vailmusic.org. Tickets start at $25 for general lawn admission and range from $68 to $89 for covered pavilion seating. Children 15 and younger receive free lawn admission to all Bravo orchestral concerts at the amphitheater.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- One pitch away from a series sweep, the A's got a taste of how the other side lives in a 5-2, 11-inning loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Reliever Dan Otero, pitching with two out and two on in the 11th, got two quick strikes against Desmond Jennings, then couldn't finish him off. Jennings' single tied the game, and moments later the Rays had the win when Sean Rodriguez unloaded a three-run home run off Luke Gregerson.
"Any time your team battles like that and gives you the lead and you can't shut it down, that's tough," Otero said in an abnormally quiet A's clubhouse.
Oakland has still won 11 of its last 13 games and at 30-17 has the best record in the majors. But that pales against the reality that this one slipped away.
"Whether you are one pitch away or not, you have to go out there and get three outs," Otero said. "Unfortunately, I left a couple of pitches up and they got some good swings on them and they scored some runs."
Otero's misstep was rare -- he'd never lost a major league game (6-0).
The only question about Rodriguez's homer was whether or not it would stay fair. It did, ending a game that lasted three hours and 45 minutes.
"A loss is a loss," Gregerson said. "I don't care if it takes two minutes or 10 hours. I was trying to go front-door slider on him. The ball came back over the middle maybe down. I thought it was a pretty decent pitch. I sure didn't expect him to hit it that well."
The game was lost in the 11th inning, but not just in the 11th inning. Down 1-0 entering the ninth, Oakland met up with old pal Grant Balfour, tied the game off him and were in position to take the lead.
John Jaso singled, pinch-runner Craig Gentry stole second, and Josh Donaldson walked. Brandon Moss struck out looking, but Yoenis Cespedes clubbed a double to left field that tied it and left runners at second and third. The bases were loaded when Jed Lowrie was gifted with an intentional walk.
But Balfour, who 12 months ago was closing for the A's, induced routine fly balls from Josh Reddick and Alberto Callaspo as the moment slipped away.
"There's no way that game should go extra innings with the ninth inning we had," Reddick said. "I've got to do a better job of getting the run in and toning things down, but sometimes things don't work out that way."
So the past two weeks have seen the A's win six straight, lose one, win five straight and lose one again. They head to Toronto for a three-game weekend set with the Blue Jays.
"We're one pitch away, and the guy fought a ball off up the middle," manager Bob Melvin said of Jennings' single. "That's why you play to the last out.
"It's always nice to win a series, but when you've won two and you are ahead going into being able to close it out, it's a little disappointing. But you pick up and move on."
The A's wound up getting just 15 hits and eight runs in the three games of the series. That was unexpected given the A's 30-run, 33-hit performance in their three-game stop in Cleveland last weekend, but Thursday the A's were happy to get anything they could against Rays starter Alex Cobb.
Cobb and A's starter Sonny Gray both dominated. The game was scoreless for six innings, then Gray made a mistake to Yunel Escobar in the seventh. The result was an RBI single that it would take another few innings for Oakland to match.
"Cobb's always been great, especially against us," Reddick said. "Once we got him out of the game, I thought we had a good chance to take advantage of it. It shows Sonny's character and what he can do."

News 12 First at Five / Friday, March 22, 2013
EVANS, Ga. (WRDW) -- Twenty-two high school students from across Georgia have spent the past eight months coming up with ways to reduce the number of teenage deaths in traffic accidents.
Car accidents are the leading cause of death in teenagers and that's what the students are hoping to change. They've been working for months to come up with ways to help, and this week they presented their plan.
"Why have adults say what teens think and do?" said Tourner Moseley, a member of the Governor's Commission on Teen Driving. "I mean, they were teenagers once, but it was a lot different back then. I'm sure they didn't have the distraction of an iPhone."
Tourner is a sophomore at Greenbrier High School.
In August, the Governor's Office selected a statewide board of teenagers to help find a way to lower the number of teen deaths caused by traffic accidents.
"It's unacceptable for driving to be the number one cause of teen deaths," Tourner said.
Tourner decided to apply to the commission after a friend's experience.
"His brother, he was driving and texting and he crossed the road and his brother died," he explained. "His whole family was affected by it and just his story is heartbreaking."
This week, the teens presented their suggestions to state lawmakers, including a complete overhaul of the alcohol and drug awareness program for high schools.
"We decided that all the information in there was just kinda all pushed in there too much and the information was kinda old," Tourner said.
They recommended banning any kind of cellphone use for all drivers, as well as harsher penalties for texting while driving like community service.
"Most people think that impaired driving is just drinking and driving, but it's really anything that distracts you," Tourner said.
He knows those distractions can end a life in the blink of an eye.
Last year, teenage deaths from car accidents in Georgia decreased and that's a trend they are hoping this commission will help continue.

1960s: an arbitrary formation based on bit4 and bite.
bite from Old English:
There are words related to bite in many other European languages. Their ancestor also gave us bit (Old English) and bitter, and it probably meant 'to split, to cleave'. To bite the bullet now means 'to face up to something unpleasant'. Its origin is said to be in battlefield surgery—that wounded soldiers would be given a bullet to bite on to prevent them from crying out when the pain became unbearable. However, there is no evidence that this ever happened, and surgeons always carried leather straps with them for this purpose. Another phrase involving biting something unusual is to bite the dust, 'to be killed or come to an end'. Nowadays people are likely to associate it with Westerns and gunfights, but it is used by the Scottish novelist Tobias Smollett in 1750, and similar expressions such as to bite the ground and bite the sand are found even earlier. Man bites dog is a much-used jokey newspaper headline, which harks back to the quote: 'When a dog bites a man, that is not news, because it happens so often. But if a man bites a dog, that is news.' This was said by the American journalist John B. Bogart (1848–1921).
The bit in computing, a unit of information expressed as either a 0 or 1, is a contraction of binary digit. Bit and bite were combined to give byte, a group of eight bits.

Federal Teams Honored for Energy Achievements
Fifteen teams and three individuals at U.S. federal agencies were honored on July 15th at the 2004 Presidential Energy and Environmental Awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. The ceremony commended the winners of the Presidential Awards for Leadership in Federal Energy Management, now in its fifth year of honoring exemplary energy efficiency efforts, as well as the winners of the 10th annual Closing the Circle Awards, which recognizes outstanding environmental stewardship. See the DOE press release.
The six federal teams honored for their renewable energy and energy efficiency efforts include DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Purchase Program, the Air Force Renewable Energy Team, and energy management teams from the Marine Corps, the New England Region of the General Services Administration, and the Department of Health and Human Services. Together, the six teams helped save 1.8 trillion Btu per year, or enough energy to supply about 17,000 homes. Details on the six teams' accomplishments are available on the DOE Federal Energy Management Program Web site.
Although the Closing the Circle Awards go toward a wider array of environmental actions by federal employees, this year's awards included two green building efforts. One awardee, the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia, combined a well-insulated building envelope, daylighting, solar power, energy-efficient lighting, and geothermal heat pumps in its new educational and administrative center. The other awardee, the U.S. Army's Yuma Proving Ground, built an energy-efficient model home using structural insulated panels, high-performance windows, an energy recovery ventilator, solar water heating, solar power, and energy-efficient lighting and appliances. The home was a project of DOE's Building America Program. See the nominations for the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and the Yuma Proving Ground on the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive Web site, and see the Building America Program's description of the Yuma Proving Ground home.

Next week, Japan will observe the second anniversary of the March 11, 2011, disaster that killed more than 19,000 people.
In dozens of towns along the country's northeastern Pacific coast, from tiny Ryoishi in the north to Fukushima farther south, where some areas remain off-limits due to radiation fears, the tsunami zone remains a wasteland. Scattered along the coast are huge piles of rubble and stacks of smashed scooters and cars.
The government has promised faster action on resettling the tens of thousands of people left homeless by the disaster, but the local economies were already in decline, doubling the challenge for reconstruction. Clearing of forests on higher ground due to be leveled to make space for relocating survivors has barely begun.
Here is a gallery of images from the tsunami zone.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
bassgone (im so funny) & other news
bassong has just signed for norwich to be reunited with chris hughton, & apparently it feels so good.
glad to get rid of some more deadwood. i actually think he could be a good CB if it wasnt for his mental side. he is mentally flaky, makes bad defensive decisions like positioning & when to commit etc, & also seems very unconfident & lacking in belief of his ability. but he will never rectify all of that so im glad to get rid of him. will be a decent player for norwich. good luck to him at norwich. hope he does well.
other rumours-
stoke want hudd on a season loan. personally id sell him but a loan is the next best thing. would be a decent player at a mid table team. but not good enough for us. would be a good signing for stoke what with their long ball & high crosses game. hudd could put some long balls in to the box right on crouchys head.
dawson not in avb plans. qpr sniffing around. hope this isnt true! whether or not u want dawson as 1 of the 2 first choice CBs, theres no getting away from the fact he is a good player who would be great at the very least as cover & very well worth keeping!
ade still been too greedy. self explanatory!
we might turn our attentions to dzeko instead. i cant see this being true what with aguero out injured for a while.
modric- deal getting closer. still lots of huge difference in opinions from the media on what price is close to being agreed. iv read as low as 23m & as high as 38m.
llorente- apparently there has been a firm offer by a premiership team. hopefully us!
damiao- interest from us but seems he has much better teams interested too.
carroll- we went for him just before he signed for liverpool. rodgers doesnt want him. whispers getting louder that we will turn to him if we cant get ade.
a johnson- not in favour with mancini. so we are rumoured to be interested in signing him to compete with lennon on the RW. city seem happy with £10m. seems a bargin to me.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
yep, got to admit I'm chuffed Bassong has gone...and so quickly! :) you're right, he never looked confident...seemed a bit soft physically and mentally...(I know Gallas has basically had it but I'd much rather have him as our occasional 5th choice)
which you could never say of Dawson...that'd be a terrible sale, he's the heart of this team!
I still can't figure out Hudd's place in the team, dont want to see him go at all but not sure how he fits and who he'd play alongside to make us 'work'...very good player but not quick enough
as to new signings, I've given up wondering and expecting the worst!
and WHY is Gomes still with us? give him away!!

Argentina, 2012, 83 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, Family Issues
Program: Focus on Nation Cinema: ArgentinaLanguage: Spanish/Wichi Lhämtes English Sub-Titles
Yolanda is a servant in the home of a middle-class family in a dusty, remote town in northern Argentina. Her people are the Wichi, an indigenous group of only about 25,000 who live near the Paraguayan border.
The home's matriarch, Sara, is a harried mother of four who's caught up in preparations for the quinceañera of daughter Antonella, which she hopes will be the biggest and best party the town has seen. She gets little help from her largely absentee husband, and struggles to manage Antonella, who's impulsive in a typically teenage way, doing things like hacking at her unruly hair in an attempt to tame it. When Sara takes her to a hairdresser to fix the problem, she brings Yola along in what seems like a generous gesture but is actually a betrayal. This act requires no rationalization, since Sara and the others interpret Yola's quiet as passivity and indifference. This same serenity appears when Yola's mother comes to tell her that a relative is ill. These spare exchanges stand in contrast to Sara's weary chatter and her prodding of everyone to ready the home for the big party. Like the film itself, Yola's simplicity masks deeper, more subtle truths. Ordinary events become a metaphor for how Argentine society treats its native peoples.
The story is interspersed with exquisite still images, and childhood flashbacks narrated by Yola in her native tongue, Wichi Lhämtes. The film is a quiet, meditative piece, which director Daniela Seggiaro based in part on her anthropologist mother's work with indigenous peoples.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team will open the season by hosting two BCS-conference teams while participating in tournaments at Houston Baptist and Rice as part of a tough 2011-12 schedule, the school announced on Tuesday.
"Overall we are pretty pleased with our schedule," said head coach Robert Robinson. "We have more home games this year and a lot less travel. It is going to be competitive, the first three are pretty tough, but we have a chance to be pretty successful if we take care of our business heading into the conference season."
The Islanders kick off the season by hosting Big 12 opponent Missouri on Saturday, Nov. 12, in the Dugan Wellness Center on campus at 7 p.m. Four days later, the team will welcome Pac 12 member Colorado to the American Bank Center for a Wednesday, Nov. 16, contest. The Buffaloes participated in the 2011 WNIT, advancing to the quarterfinals.

Nearing the end of 2011, the Islanders travel to Dallas on Dec. 18 to face SMU and travel to Bloomington, Ind., on Dec. 27 to play Indiana in the final non-conference game before the start of the Southland Conference schedule.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will face defending Southland Conference Champion McNeese State to begin league play, traveling to Lake Charles, La. for a Jan. 7 game. After facing McNeese, the Islanders return home for a pair of home games, starting with UTSA on Jan. 11 before playing Southeastern La. three days later on Jan. 14, with both games coming at the ABC.
UT Arlington is up next for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi on Jan. 18 for a single road game.

- Why Mighty Leaf?
Phoenix Bird Select
An oolong tea from China's Guandong province, Phoenix Bird Select oolong tea is made from ancient trees in the Phoenix Mountains that infuse their magic into a mellow, yet complex oolong tea. Uplifting with its fruity aroma and unique woodsy, fruit flavor, Phoenix Bird Select oolong tea is a unique treat. Good for multiple infusions.• 3 oz. loose tea in bag • 1 rounded tbsp. per 12 oz. cup • Makes 25-30 cups
Oolong tea
Long, dark twisted leaves
Honey-floral nose
Golden-yellow liquor
Complex, mellow palate including nectarine-like fruit and woody notes with sweet lingering finish
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to 185-205F, less than boiling. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded tablespoon of loose oolong tea per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 3 - 5 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Health Benefits
Like black and green teas, oolong contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. Included within the broad antioxidant polyphenol class are flavonoids and catechins. A kind of flavonoid, catechins are found in tea leaves and may provide protective antioxidant action against harmful free radicals.
Research shows that these free radicals cause heart disease, some kinds of cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking oolong tea with its high antioxidant levels help protect the body by combating dangerous free radical activity. In addition, oolong tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium, Manganese, potassium, calcium, the vitamins C and K and the amino acid theanine, all in trace amounts.
Oolongs like Phoenix Bird Select begged to be drunk solo so that you can appreciate the complex depth of aroma and layers of flavor.
However, oolongs are also versatile teas traditionally drunk with food. Phoenix Bird pairs well with a wide array of foods, including meat, seafood and chocolate.

During the special resource management deer hunt December first and second, Big Stone Lake State Park Meadowbrook Area will be closed to all visitors, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Hunts also will take place at other Minnesota state parks and recreation areas this fall. Access to the parks will vary. Some will remain open to all visitors, some will have limited public access and some will be open only to hunters with special permits. The deadlines have passed for youth and adults to apply for a special permit to participate in the hunts, which include regular firearms, muzzleloader and archery options. "The DNR allows these annual resource management hunts as a way to help control the deer population at state parks," said Ed Quinn, resource management consultant for the DNR's Parks and Trails Division. "When there are too many deer in one area, it can negatively impact the native plants and animals. Our goal is to ensure healthy natural communities." The DNR thanks visitors for their patience and understanding at parks where access will be limited during the hunts. Details on which areas of each park will be affected by the special deer hunts are included in the "Visitor Alert!" boxes on the individual park Web pages at mndnr.gov/parksandtrails (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/parksandtrails/index.html). Park-specific information also is available by calling the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 or toll-free 888-646-6367, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
