Pray 4 Ryan: Community rallies behind student with cancer
Pray 4 Ryan: Community rallies behind student with cancer
Students and the community are rallying behind a West Forsyth teenager who has been stricken by cancer.
The Twitter hashtag #pray4ryan is trending today for Ryan Wood, who has been told he only has a few weeks left to live.
He played JV football as a freshman but had to stop after developing a form of cancer.
His school, other schools and even former Wake Forest star Chris Paul are rallying to show their support.
Wood has been awarded a varsity letter and jersey. The teams in this week's High School Playbook game of the week will wear Pray For Ryan shirts, according to WXII's Kenny Beck.

Modern Family star Ariel Winter is going through a tough time right now. She's recently reported her mother, Crystal Workman, to the Department of Child and Family Services, claiming that she was physically and emotionally abused by her. (Ariel's since been removed from Crystal's home.) But days after Ariel filed the complaint, Crystal retaliated by filing her own complaint -- with the police -- claiming that a few months back, she found her 14-year-old daughter in bed with an 18-year-old man (her boyfriend). But everything's going to be fine, you guys, Courtney Stodden's now gotten involved. And she totally thinks Ariel and her boyfriend should get married.
In case you didn't catch it the first time around: Ariel is 14.
When Courtney was asked by a swarm of paparazzi what she thought Ariel and her older boyfriend should do, she replied: "I think that's amazing! They should get married!" In case you -- luckily -- forgot, Courtney married 52-year-old actor Doug Hutchison when she was just 16. Soooo ... yeah ... can't say it's coming as an earth-shattering shock.
Ariel, if you're reading this -- and I know you are -- do yourself a favor. Don't listen to Courntey Stodden. When it comes to anything. Don't listen to her when she gives you directions. Don't listen to her when she gives you a recipe. And definitely don't listen to her when she tells you to get married at the tender age of 14. Because that's insane. Kthnxbai.
Do you think Ariel should get married? Do you trust anything Courtney Stodden says?

Our first Australian Museum Research Institute (AMRI) seminar: "What can museum collections reveal about climate change?".
Australian Museum Research Institute Collections and Climate Change Seminar
Photographer: © Australian Museum
Our climate is changing. Since the 1950s, the atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amount of snow and ice have decreased, the sea level has risen, and the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has increased.
As our climate changes, the biodiversity of our planet is increasingly threatened, as is our way of life. Natural history museum collections represent an amazingly valuable window into biodiversity and it's changes over time, but how do researchers use these collections to understand past, current and future climate change?
On 8th November 2013, the Australian Museum Research Institute held its first seminar on the role of natural history museum collections in understanding the effects of past, present and future climate change. Here we present videos from the day from Australian Museum Research Institute scientists Dr. Dan Faith, Dr. Dave Britton, Dr. Pat Hutchings, Dr. Don Colgan, Dr. Mandy Reid, Dr. Dan Bickel, Dr. Ross Pogson and guest speaker Prof. Craig Moritz (Australian National University).
These presenters discuss a wide range of topics around natural history collections and climate change, including the role museum-based phylogenetics in interpreting species loss, the use of museum records to assess the effects of a warming ocean on marine life in the Great Barrier Reef and the role of biodiversity informatics in understanding and conserving biodiversity.
We hope you enjoy the first in our series of Australian Museum Research Institute videos.

I mentioned yesterday that we have a new four-legged addition to our little family. Several months ago I had left work late and was walking to my car with a friend when we spotted a group from our local Master Gardener program sort of huddled around something in the courthouse square, one of the many sites in Owego that the Master Gardeners maintain. Another friend is part of that program and, while working in the flower beds, she had come across a tiny, frightened stray. As soon as my friend said "stray kitten", I said "no way." The kitten's face and paws were covered in pollen and she was absolutely filthy. All it took was one look at this flea-covered little thing...
and I packed her up and brought her home. Kicky named her Olive. As you can see, she's perfectly content sleeping her days away on our window seat. Who knew I'd be someone who brought home stray kittens?!

We ended up with a second cat when my husband sent me a photo of a stray kitten the other firefighters had been feeding at work. I promptly told him to catch her, thinking at her age (10-12 weeks) that she would be mostly feral and I would just get her spayed and vaccinated and let her live in the backyard. Not a chance! It took her two days to leave the cat carrier, and then she decided she wanted to be a house cat, much to my resident kitty's dismay. I do adore her. The ones that find you are always the best ones.

IETF 96 Proceedings
Introduction | Area, Working Goup & BoF Reports | Plenaries | Training | Internet Research Task Force
IETF Overview
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) provides a forum for working groups to coordinate technical development of new protocols. Its most important function is the development and selection of standards within the Internet protocol suite.
The IETF began in January 1986 as a forum for technical coordination by contractors for the then US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), working on the ARPANET, US Defense Data Network (DDN), and the Internet core gateway system. Since that time, the IETF has grown into a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet.
The IETF mission includes:
Technical activities in the IETF are addressed within working groups. All working groups are organized roughly by function into seven areas. Each area is led by one or more Area Directors who have primary responsibility for that one area of IETF activity. Together with the Chair of the IETF/IESG, these Area Directors comprise the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG).
Liaison and ex-officio members include:
The IETF has a Secretariat, which is managed by Association Management Solutions, LLC (AMS) in Fremont, California.The IETF Executive Director is Alexa Morris (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Other personnel that provide full-time support to the Secretariat include:
To contact the Secretariat, please refer to the addresses and URLs provided on the IETF Secretariat Web page.
The IETF also has a general Administrative Support Activity headed by the IETF Administrative Director, Ray Pelletier firstname.lastname@example.com
The working groups conduct their business during the tri-annual IETF meetings, at interim working group meetings, and via electronic mail on mailing lists established for each group. The tri-annual IETF meetings are 4.5 days in duration, and consist of working group sessions, training sessions, and plenary sessions. The plenary sessions include technical presentations, status reports, and an open IESG meeting.
Following each meeting, the IETF Secretariat publishes meeting proceedings, which contain reports from all of the groups that met, as well as presentation slides, where available. The proceedings also include a summary of the standards-related activities that took place since the previous IETF meeting.
Meeting minutes, working group charters (including information about the working group mailing lists), and general information on current IETF activities are available on the IETF Web site at https://www.ietf.org.

Author Notes: A few years ago, I was a barista at a vegan bakery when the position for savory cook opened up. When I expressed interest in it, the manager asked me to go into the back, look at the available ingredients, and make the salad for the day out of what I found. I pulled this salad out of my imagination and got the job. - Syronai —beyondcelery
Food52 Review: Deliciously savory and sweet with a lovely nutty crunch -- I love this type of salad where warm and cold elements are combined. I think it's fine on its own but would enhance a simple roasted chicken. I am tempted to add some feta, queso fresco, or goat cheese another time. It also has the makings for a savory pie/tart filling. This salad has versatility! It is a keeper. —testkitchenette
Serves: 10-12
small butternut squash (2-3lb)
cup olive oil
cup balsamic vinegar
teaspoon ground chipotle
1/2 - 1
teaspoons salt
teaspoon ground ginger
teaspoon ground allspice
apples, preferably braeburn
2 1/2
cups pecans
1/2 - 3/4
cups dried currants (to preference)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Halve butternut squash, scoop out seeds, skin, and chop into 1-inch cubes. Arrange on a baking sheet, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, and roast in hot oven until tender (about 20 - 30 minutes).
- In a large bowl, make the dressing by combining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chipotle, salt, ginger, and allspice. Set aside.
- While squash is roasting, spread pecans out on baking sheet and toast them in the same oven until fragrant. Keep an eye on them; they'll be done in about 5 - 8 minutes. Toss hot roasted pecans directly into dressing and listen to the delightful sizzle (this will cook off some of the vinegar so it doesn't get too strong).
- Cut apples into quarters, remove the cores, and slice lengthwise into moderately thin slices (about 1/8-inch). Add apple slices and toss into dressing as you go to prevent them from discoloring. Toss in currants with the apples.
- When butternut squash is tender, remove from oven and let it rest about 10 minutes. Toss it in with the rest of the salad and serve warm or cold, depending on preference. This salad will be best if you allow the apples, nuts, and spices to cure together at least 20 minutes while the squash is roasting.

Farrow & Ball New Colours 2011
The 2011 Farrow & Ball colour card has been further enhanced with a seamless mix of exciting new colours. In keeping with time honoured tradition, each colour proudly boasts an intriguing name and source of inspiration.
The exquisite new colours complement the existing palette as interesting accents, enhancing current colour families and creating inspiration for new ones. We hope you enjoy our new colours as much as we enjoyed creating them.
Oxford Stone No.264Named after the stone often used in
Oxfordshire village houses, this colour is perfect for creating a warm interior.
Manor House Gray No.265Inspired by the quintessentially English manor house, this definite grey has its roots in the 18th century but can be used to striking effect in modern schemes.
Mizzle No.266A soft blue grey reminiscent of a West Country evening mist. The blue will become more intense when painted in a smaller room.
Dove Tale No.267Named after the well known carpentry joint but with a twist in the tale! Some
see this colour as a grey while to others it appears to be warmer and more stony.
Charlotte's Locks No.268Highly dramatic and extremely contemporary especially when combined with Railings. Widely used as an accent colour in the minimalist decoration of the 1950s.
Cabbage White No.269A delightful clean colour that takes its name from the distinctive wings of the Cabbage White butterfly.
Calluna No.270Named after the Scottish heather, Calluna has a contemporary look but with the delicate inclusion of black, it retains a vintage feel.
Brassica No.271An aged darker version of Calluna, named after the familiar purple colour often seen in the Brassica family of vegetables. This colour comes alive when combined with Calluna and Pelt.
Plummett No.272Named after the lead weight used to sink a fishing line, this mid-tone grey is
appropriate for interior as well as exterior use as often seen in Gothic architecture.

Missing Sydney flight attendant found dead
Missing Sydney flight attendant Benjamin Roper has been found dead.
Police said on Thursday his death was not suspicious.
They previously feared Mr Roper may have met with foul play.
His mother, Michelle Pippen, said he had been receiving homophobic threats and suffering from severe pain when he disappeared on Saturday.
At the time of his disappearance, Mr Roper was heavily medicated to treat chronic back pain.
Ms Pippen had described her son as a happy, popular and fit 32-year-old and said his disappearance was out of character.
Mr Roper's co-workers raised the alarm when he failed to arrive to crew a Virgin flight to Bali on Sunday.
Upon hearing the news of his death, the company tweeted:
"We are very sad to learn of the passing of a much loved team member, Ben Roper. Our thoughts are with his family and friends."

Training in the weeks following the FSU race have been tough. The weather had been unkind and too much time had been spent on the trainers instead of getting time on the bike outside on the roads. That did not seem to hamper efforts at the Georgia Tech outing with continued solid results across all categories and disciplines.
The women were missing 2 of their key A riders that have powered them to successive wins in the TTT. However, 2nd year B rider and senior Jamie Grigsby, Oak Ridge TN, stepped into the gap to make the required 3 riders for this event. They managed a creditable 4th place and securing enough points to keep them in the running for the season championship. Credit goes to Jamie along with A riders Stephanie Cucaz and Caroline Gentry for making this effort on behalf of the entire team.
The Road Race on Saturday saw men's C rider, Reid Yoder a junior from Hoagland IN, power to a victory with a strong sprint finish. This is his 1st outright win of the season and was a fantastic result for him and the entire team. In the men's B freshman Derek Hurst, White Pine TN, put in a strong finish to claim 3rd place with sophomore Zach Maness placing 7th. In the men's A category junior Julian Cabra, Greenville SC, found himself in the breakaway with a full lap to go and hung on to place 5th overall in this very strong field while sophomore Alex Jensen, Tampa FL, rode away from the peleton to place 7th. Junior TJ Killelea, Redbank TN and freshman Reuben Dupre, Mobile AL, placed 17th and 18th respectively. With 4 riders in the top 20 King accumulated sufficient points to remain on top of their division for the season. Women's A rider Caroline Gentry, Bristol TN, came in with the field in a sprint to finish in 5th place while Jamie Grigsby and freshman Keely Easterling, Bristol TN, finished 6th and 8th respectively rounding out a strong day of 8 top 10 finishes.
Sunday saw the teams racing in a very fast and open criterium. With little technical cornering each race developed into a drag race and a battle of attrition. At the end of the day King placed another 7 riders in the top 10 for the day. Sophomore Stephanie Cucaz, Lawrenceville GA, chased down breakaways to keep the women's A group together setting them up for a sprint finish. With her strong sprint it was always going to be tough on the rest of the group and Stephanie came through in 2nd place without the help of her absent teammates. Jamie Grigsby completed her excellent weekend with a 6th place finish and developing rider Keely Easterling crossed in 8th for the second time in two days. Reid Yoder still had enough in his legs after the win at the line in the road race to push for 7th place in the men's C while Zach Maness and Derek Hurst virtually swapped places from the previous days results with Zach coming across in 3rd and Derek managing 6th for the day. The A men worked well together throughout the day taking turns pushing the pace and tagging all attempted breakaways but were hampered by a crash in the final lap. Still sophomore and new A rider Blake Adams managed to avoid the crash and cross in 8th place with TJ Killelea right on his heels coming across in 11th.
The team is developing nicely and all riders seem to be peaking at the right time as we head into the final races before conference and ultimately Nationals for the A riders.
The team gets a slight break to recover during Spring break but several will be competing for King at the Brevard race the weekend of March 23rd. The team will be all together again to host the conference in Bristol for the Cobra/Tornado classic on April 6th and 7th.

While Friday's 2-0 defeat at Sporting KC might have left you feeling a tad bit deflated, its important to remember what the Fire accomplished in the games leading up to that match.
Namely, a streak of seven wins in eight matches which started in early August, extended almost two months and saw the Men in Red move from teetering on the edge of the Eastern Conference playoff bubble to legitimate contenders for the top spot.
While the loss Friday gave a small blow to the notion of finishing first in the East, the Fire returned to training Monday with a focus on getting things back on track Wednesday against Philadelphia.
"We're not going to win every game in a season," said midfielder Patrick Nyarko. "We lost one game so we just move on to the next, the same as if we win a game, we move on as well. Recognize Kansas City is a good team that we may see again and move on.
Friday's result combined with those on Saturday served to tighten the East playoff race. New York is back tied on points and ahead of the third-place Fire on the goals scored tie breaker, while just five points separate second place from sixth.
With a game in hand, the Fire still hold an advantage over the rest of the playoff field.
Simply put, a win on Wednesday against a lowly Union team at Toyota Park, where the Fire just happen to be 9-0-1 against Eastern foes this season, will go a long way to clinching the club's 12th playoff appearance.
"There's no added pressure," continued Nyarko. "We're still in a good position. We definitely go into Wednesday's game with the mentality to get the win but we're not nervous."
While the team may not have nerves about Wednesday's match, the game also kicks off the 15th anniversary of the club's founding which occurred on October 8, 1997, then the 126th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire that ravished the "Second City" in 1871.
Fire legends Peter Nowak, Chris Armas and Cuauhtemoc Blanco will be honored at halftime ahead of the fan-driven star-studded 15th Anniversary Party that will occur October 8 at the Chicago History Museum.
"Frank's been talking about it quite a bit and guys are getting more educated about the fact that the day is very special. We'll have some guys that did quite amazing things here coming around and it serves as a motivation to honor them and the club by getting a win.
Tickets to Wednesday's Anniversary Match start at $20 and are still availble by clicking here or by calling (888) MLS-FIRE! Tickets to the Fire Anniversary Party featuring a host of guests including Ante Razov, Lubos Kubik, Jesse Marsch and current Fire players are available by clicking here.

The way they got outworked in the second period indicated laziness, which is a form of undisciplined play. I'm not saying they should be outworking this team, but 3 minute stretches where they can't clear the puck are extreme.

January proved to be good for the Batavia Park District.
Staff attended the Illinois Park and Recreation Association's annual conference in Chicago, and the marketing and public relations department received first place for brochure series in the agency showcase competition. The conference was Jan. 24 to 26.
Agency showcase is a spirited competition spotlighting bright ideas exhibited by park, recreation and conservation agencies. The professionally judged competition recognizes Illinois agencies for their marketing and communication efforts ranging from print to multimedia.
The Batavia Park District's Fun Guide was up against many outstanding agencies, and staff members consider it an honor to know the brochure stood out in areas such as writing and design.
Professional judges reviewed each submission based on specific guidelines. According to one judge, the Batavia Park District Fun Guide was the favorite "by far."
"Attractive, inviting, well-organized and fun," the judge wrote. "Great use of photography and very well branded. Excellent job!"
That same weekend, the Batavia Chamber of Commerce held the annual awards dinner. The Batavia Park District was announced as the special Ole Award winner for the renovations to Hall Quarry Beach.
"The Ole Awards are given to businesses or organizations that have completed new construction or building renovations in Batavia, and those renovations should be an investment in the community," said Batavia Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Roger Breisch. "There was no question the investment made to Hall Quarry Beach was significant. The chamber and the community are very thankful to the park district for those renovations."
In fall 2011, Hall Quarry Beach underwent a major renovation to repair cracks in the foundation causing water to leak. Because of the leaks, spring water was consistently being pumped into the quarry. Temperatures hovered around 65 degrees, and many residents wanted a solution.
Focus groups were conducted, and the Batavia Park District heard overwhelmingly that residents wanted the quarry repaired rather than shut down.
"The renovations at the quarry were a direct result of those focus groups," said Pat Callahan, president of the Batavia Park District board. "The community took the time to give us the feedback, and we're proud to accept the award on their behalf."
The renovation was a success, and Hall Quarry Beach had a record-breaking season in 2012. More than 2,500 season passes were sold, more than double those sold in 2011, and more than 45,000 people visited the quarry. The average water temperature last summer jumped to 73 degrees.
Hall Quarry Beach season passes go on sale April 1. For information, visit www.bataviaparks.org.

What The Tesla / NY Times Fight Teaches Us About The Media
from the the-world-is-changing dept
Upon publication, Tesla's famous CEO, Elon Musk, began tweeting up a storm about how the article was "fake" and that he had the vehicle logs to prove it. The author of the review, John Broder, responded to many of the tweeted charges, arguing that Musk was misrepresenting things -- leading many watchers to suggest that Musk was making a big mistake in attacking the NY Times.
Then, Musk published a blog post with a graphical representation of the log data they had, in which he argues that Broder lied and even purposely tried to run the car out of juice in order to write a negative story. Musk claims that after their dispute with Top Gear, they now keep logs on any media test drives (though it's unclear if they tell reporters that before giving them the cars). And, suddenly, a lot of people flipped sides, arguing that the data won and clearly the NY Times and Broder had some answering to do. After all, there were charts like this one:
When he first reached our Milford, Connecticut Supercharger, having driven the car hard and after taking an unplanned detour through downtown Manhattan to give his brother a ride, the display said "0 miles remaining." Instead of plugging in the car, he drove in circles for over half a mile in a tiny, 100-space parking lot. When the Model S valiantly refused to die, he eventually plugged it in.Except, Broder notes, the "unplanned detour through downtown Manhattan" was not "unplanned" and had been communicated clearly to Tesla beforehand, did not actually go into "downtown" Manhattan, was partially recommended by Tesla employees who thought that the "regenerative braking" might help increase the range and only added two total miles to the trip length. Furthermore, as for the charge of driving around in circles in a parking lot?
Mr. Straubel said Tesla did not store data on exact locations where their cars were driven because of privacy concerns, although Tesla seemed to know that I had driven six-tenths of a mile "in a tiny 100-space parking lot." While Mr. Musk has accused me of doing this to drain the battery, I was in fact driving around the Milford service plaza on Interstate 95, in the dark, trying to find the unlighted and poorly marked Tesla Supercharger.Ouch.
In the end this is a fascinating story on many different levels. Dan Frommer makes an excellent point that "everyone's a media company now," noting that it's possible for companies to speak out on their own behalf if they disagree with a story. That used to be a lot harder. He compares that to the Quirky / OXO story we recently covered as well.
But, of course, if you're going to rebut charges made in a newspaper review, the information had better hold up, and it's not clear that it does here. Even worse, it really seems like Musk is making a much bigger deal of this than ever needed to be made. Sure, the initial review wasn't great, but it really didn't strike me as that bad. It basically said that if you try to drive it too far, or if you're unable to charge it enough, you might run out of juice. You know what? Same thing is true of a gas-powered car as well. But Musk has called much more attention to the story in a manner that doesn't necessarily lead to Tesla coming out on top. Carl Malmud's summary seems instructive:
Musk was offended that a reporter didn't operate the hardware properly. Blame the manual, tech support, PR, but not the user.Musk is obviously quite passionate about the companies he runs and their products. And that's something that's actually quite appealing. Having followed his work for a while, you know that he really is striving to build "insanely great" products. So I can absolutely understand how his first emotional reaction is to lash out at someone who wrote a less than kind review (I've been there myself too many times). But, in the end, it seems like there would have been much better ways to handle this. I'm still a huge fan of the Tesla, and still dream of one day actually getting one, but I'd say that Musk's response probably made me more skeptical of the company than Broder's original article ever did.
When "everyone is the media," amazing and powerful things can happen. And, certainly, the ability to correct the record against questionable stories is something that really changes the game. But, at the same time, everyone is now a fact checker, and that makes for an interesting dynamic for both traditional media companies and those who wade in to respond to them.

Report: Chinese OEM Produces First Motorhome
March 22, 2012 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
China's first independently developed motorhome with self-owned intellectual property rights came off the production line in Qingdao on March 21, according to People's Daily Online.
The motorhome produced by the Qingdao Chuntian Science and Technology Vehicle Co. Ltd has an internal area of 215 square feet. It is divided into four areas including sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom and is equipped with modern conveniences such as kitchen range, refrigerator and air conditioning.
Since early 2009, the company has begun to develop new energy vehicles including the motorhomes that can be powered by the solar energy and wind energy. Currently, solar energy technology has been widely applied in the motorhome developed by the company, said Liu Jie, a company representative.
Chinese Launching U.S. Motorhome Line?
July 26, 2010 by Bob Ashley · 1 Comment
In what could amount to a major breaking news story for the U.S. RV industry, China's Yutong Bus Co. Ltd. has invited RV industry suppliers to a "special meeting" next Tuesday (Aug. 3) in Elkhart to discuss the "planned introduction of a new series of Class A motorhomes."
The invitation was e-mailed to suppliers by Bill Horvath, a veteran of the U.S. RV arena who is listed as product manager of Yutong's motorhome division, part of a major bus manufacturer based in Zhengzhou, China.
The invitation notes that there will be an introduction of the company, including a descriptive outline of the company's products, a presentation on issues related to the international supply chain (payment, packaging, documentation, freight costs, timeline, etc.) and the importance of U.S. suppliers.
Private meetings will be scheduled for the remainder of the week, according to the invitation.
While there was no description of the new line in the invitation, a four-page spec sheet termed the "original wish list" was included. It noted that the unnamed fiberglass-and-aluminum motorhome will have 28- to 30-foot floorplans on 22,000-pound GVWR chassis equipped with 250/280-hp Cummins or Navistar diesel engines.
Amenities will include solid-surface countertops, leather sofas and swivel rockers.
Interestingly, retail customers apparently will be offered $500 Wal-Mart gift cards and a $1,000 discount on airfare to China for factory visits.
Efforts to reach Horvath were not successful. No MSRP was stated in the invitation.
The Yutong website (www.yutong.com) describes the company as a large-scale industrial group mainly specializing in buses but also involved in construction machinery, automotive parts and components and real estate that is one of China's top 500 enterprises.
The company's 3.6 million-square-foot Chinese factory has a daily capacity of more than 170 unit buses, which makes Yutong "the most technically advanced manufacturer of large and medium-sized buses around the world (becoming) China's largest professional bus manufacturer with sales volume ranked second worldwide next to that of Mercedes-Benz," according to the website.

For those of you that missed out on the early access to the beta and are not PlayStation Plus members, here is your chance to get the jump in everyone else before the Starhawk beta goes public on February 21!
Just to be clear, this is an offer for a beta code to the upcoming PS3 exclusive game Starhawk, not a code for the activist and author of The Spiral Dance. Because, ya know, that wouldn't make any sense. And it would be kinda weird. Just wanted to be clear there.
On May 18, LightBox Interactive and SCE Santa Monica will release Starhawk for the PS3. For those that haven't really been keeping up, Starhawk is a spiritual successor to 2007's Warhawk. That alone probably isn't enough street cred for you to be circling your calendars just yet, but there is a very good reason to keep an eye on this game: it's kinda awesome. The closed beta began a while back, and the reactions have been strong. Enough so that it became one of our most anticipated games of 2012.
But don't just take our word on it, give the beta a try for yourself! The beta is still technically closed, and only those with early access, a PlayStation Plus account, or a new copy of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception have been given access. It will be open to everyone on February 21. But why wait?
The first 25 people that post below and tell us the game they are most looking forward to playing in 2012 will receive a code. Simple as that. So what are you waiting for? Post!
Thank you all for your interest! The codes have been sent out.

With a huge helping hand from senior forward Denzel Keyes, redemption came much easier than expected for the Kinston Vikings Friday night.
With a huge helping hand from senior forward Denzel Keyes, redemption came much easier than expected for the Kinston Vikings Friday night.
Keyes scored 29 points, grabbed nine rebounds, collected nine steals, and added three assists as the Vikings rebounded from consecutive losses in the HighSchoolOT.com Holiday Invitational with an impressive 73-31 dismantling of a Farmville Central squad that had lost just once in 11 games this season.
�We needed to come out and make a statement and stop the losing streak,� Keyes said. �We knew we were a better team than we showed in Raleigh.�
The Vikings (10-2, 3-0 Eastern Plains 2A) were definitely the better team on this night although it took them a little while to show it.
After going scoreless for the final 9:47 of their final tournament loss to Waxhaw Cuthbertson, Kinston failed to register a point against the Jaguars (10-2, 1-1) until the 4:46 mark of the first period, a total span of 13:01 over the two games.
Fortunately for Kinston, its stifling defense kept Farmville at bay and by the time Keyes canned his team�s first bucket, the Vikings only trailed by two.
�It really didn�t occur to me that we had a little drought at the start of the game,� Kinston coach Perry Tyndall said. �What happened in Raleigh at the end of the Cuthbertson game was pretty unbelievable, and I knew we�d get it straight eventually. We have too many guys who can score for that type of thing to continue.�
Once the Vikings finally got started, they didn�t let up.
The Kinston lead was 16-6 early in the second quarter when Keyes turned in three electrifying plays in succession.
He swiped a pass in the open court and drove for a monster jam that ignited the home crowd. He then stole the ensuing inbounds pass and slammed that one home as well. On the Jaguars� next possession, Keyes again got his hands on an errant pass, and this time sliced through traffic to convert a layup.
Three steals and six points in 35 seconds and suddenly Kinston led 22-6 with 6:02 remaining before halftime.
Not even a 33-minute, second-quarter delay that resulted from a wailing fire alarm could cool Kinston off.
The Vikings led 33-17 at intermission and then really put the game away with an 11-0 run to open the third period.
The scary part is that the Vikings routed the team most likely to challenge them for league supremacy despite connecting on just 2 of 13 from 3-point range.
Kinston made up for it with a 28 of 40 effort from two-point land. Keyes was a huge part of that percentage, sinking 14 of his 16 field goal attempts, including 13 in a row at one point.
�We moved the ball around well and were very unselfish on offense,� Tyndall said. �When we�re sharing the ball like that we can be a very good team.�
No one shared the ball more than Josh Dawson, who dished out nine assists to go along with 11 points.
Brandon Ingram contributed 12 points for Kinston, including both of the Vikings� successful treys.
Defensively, Kinston forced 25 turnovers and hounded the Jaguars into a 0 of 19 performance from beyond the 3-point arc.
Although the final margin of victory was a surprise to Tyndall, Kinston�s terrific effort was not.
�I was wondering how we�d respond to those losses in Raleigh,� Tyndall said. �I had a good feeling come in because we had an outstanding week of practice and seemed to have put those games out of our mind.�
Kinston�s girls went into the winter break with three wins in five days. During the break they dropped three in a row.
They got back to their winning ways against Farmville Central, and did it in grand fashion.
Lydia Rivers scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead three Kinston players in double figures as they remained in first place in the Eastern Plains 2A Conference with a blowout victory at Viking Gym on Friday.
Anshonee Addison scored 12 points and Alexis Williams added 11 for a Kinston team that used a 9-2 spurt early in the first quarter to pull away and never look back.
Of Rivers� 13 rebounds, 11 were on the offensive end. In all, Kinston (9-4, 3-0) had nearly as many offensive rebounds (25) as Farmville Central had total rebounds (30).
Monique Lofton had seven points and five assists and Brittany Drumgoole added four dimes for Kinston, which travels to Tarboro on Tuesday.
The Jaguars (3-7, 1-1), who didn�t score more than eight points in a single quarter, were led by Destiny Foskey�s 11 points and got nine points from Stephany Williams.
The three-game losing streak was the longest for Kinston since Dec. 2009.
Farmville Central 6 11 6 8�31
Kinston 14 19 20 20�73

Second in South America only to Brazil in size and population, Argentina is a plain, rising from the Atlantic to the Chilean border and the towering Andes peaks. Aconcagua (22,834 ft, 6,960 m) is the highest peak in the world outside Asia. Argentina is also bordered by Bolivia and Paraguay on the north, and by Uruguay and Brazil on the east. The northern area is the swampy and partly wooded Gran Chaco, bordering Bolivia and Paraguay. South of that are the rolling, fertile Pampas, which are rich in agriculture and sheep- and cattle-grazing and support most of the population. Further south is Patagonia, a region of cool, arid steppes with some wooded and fertile sections.
First explored in 1516 by Juan Diaz de Solis, Argentina developed slowly under Spanish colonial rule. Buenos Aires was settled in 1580; the cattle industry was thriving as early as 1600. Invading British forces were expelled in 1806—1807, and after Napoleon conquered Spain (1808), the Argentinians set up their own government in 1810. On July 9, 1816, independence was formally declared.
As it had in World War I, Argentina proclaimed neutrality at the outbreak of World War II, but in the closing phase declared war on the Axis powers on March 27, 1945. Juan D. Peron, an army colonel, emerged as the strongman of the postwar era, winning the presidential elections of 1946 and 1951. Peron's political strength was reinforced by his second wife—Eva Duarte de Peron (Evita)—and her popularity with the working classes. Although she never held a government post, Evita acted as de facto minister of health and labor, establishing a national charitable organization, and awarding generous wage increases to the unions, who responded with political support for Peron. Opposition to Peron's increasing authoritarianism led to a coup by the armed forces, which sent Peron into exile in 1955, three years after Evita's death. Argentina entered a long period of military dictatorships with brief intervals of constitutional government.
The former dictator returned to power in 1973 and his third wife, Isabel Martinez de Peron, was elected vice president. After her husband's death in 1974, Peron became the hemisphere's first woman chief of state, assuming control of a nation teetering on economic and political collapse. In 1975, terrorist acts by left- and right-wing groups killed some 700 people. The cost of living rose 355%, and strikes and demonstrations were constant. On March 24, 1976, a military junta led by army commander Lt. Gen. Jorge Rafael Videla seized power and imposed martial law.

Last month as part of Lynn Palermo's Family History Writing Challenge, I wrote about my parents wedding. As I was writing I realized that I had never asked them how they met. So I asked relatives if they knew anything. My brother Paul knew the answer.
Mom's parents left Chicago every year to spend the winter in Miami. One of their recreations while in Miami was going to the horse races. At the races they met and became friends with Oscar Daniels. Somehow the topic came up that MJ and Alice had a single daughter and Oscar suggested that their daughter Betty be introduced to his nephew Donald, who would be arriving in Miami shortly. At the time Donald was working as an iron worker for Oscar's company.
Betty and Donald met in Miami and hit it off. Donald asked if they could persue the friendship when they both returned to the Chicago area and Betty said yes. Horses remained part of their relationship was attested to by the two pairs of riding boots in their bedroom closet when we were growing up as well as the honeymoon picture of them at Idle Hour Farms in Kentucky.

Remembering The Day Kulwicki Died
Twenty years later, it's still remembered as the saddest weekend ever at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Alan Kulwicki, the defending Winston Cup Series champion, was killed along with four others in a plane crash on April 1, 1993, flying in for that weekend's Food City 500.
Kulwicki, 38, was also the defending champion of the race. He had made an appearance for sponsor Hooters restaurant at Knoxville that Thursday evening and the plane was on its way to Tri-Cities Regional Airport when ice formed on the plane's wings and it crash in a field off Island Road near Blountville. It was literally less than 10 miles from its intended destination.
The months prior had been a time for celebration for NASCAR's last independent champion.
Kulwicki, driver of the No. 7 Ford, had captured the 1992 series championship after coming into the final race of the season third behind Davey Allison and Bill Elliott.
Wayne Estes, now vice president of events for Bristol Motor Speedway, was then public relations manager for Ford Motor Co. He remembered when he first heard the news the plane had crashed.
"I had checked into then the Garden Plaza hotel in Johnson City and was in for the night," Estes recalled. "I don't remember what I did during the day, but back in those days it was "Must See TV" on Thursday nights on NBC. I remember around 10 o'clock, they cut in and said there had been a plane crash and they emphasized it was something more than a single-engine plane.
"My first thought was, 'I'm going to know somebody on that plane.' It was just a matter of waiting to see what was going to happen next. When they came on at 11 o'clock, they had the news the plane was registered to the Hooters Racing Team. They said everybody on board had died."
Estes immediately picked up the telephone and called Don Hawk, who was then Kulwicki's business manager. Strange as it was, Estes never thought about Hawk being on the plane. When Estes delivered the news, the first words out of Hawk's mouth were, "Alan is on that plane."
From there, they were trying to figure out who was on board and what to do next. Although the team had congregated at the airport, there wasn't a need for Hawk or Estes to go there or to the crash site.
"We knew what the situation was," Estes said. "We simply got up the next morning and went to the race track."
They arrived at a foggy track the next morning with a cold, drizzly rain falling. The team representatives parked outside of turns one and two and walked up the hill at the old press box.
Once inside, Estes looked down at the team's transporter sitting on the middle of front straightaway while the other teams' transporters were parked in the infield.
The Kulwicki transporter was ready to make a sad tribute lap around the speedway, but there was another reason the team wasn't in the infield with the other teams. Since Kulwicki was also the owner, there was no way the No. 7 could race.
Meanwhile, the Paul Andrews-led crew that had won such an improbable championship months earlier, was at a total loss, not knowing what to do.
"They finally had to have some people say, 'Guys, you have to go home,'" Estes recalled. "You don't have a car owner and you can't put somebody else in that car. This race team is now part of the Alan Kulwicki estate."
Dale Earnhardt, who would go on to win the 1993 NASCAR championship, had flown in behind Kulwicki. Everyone on Earnhardt's plane heard the radio transmissions and they knew what had happened as soon as they got on the ground.
It set a somber mood, which Kyle Petty described as the saddest day ever at the race track, even more so than the day he learned about the death of his own son Adam.
Michael Waltrip can finally force a smile when remembering Kulwicki. He won the Nationwide Series race at Bristol on the Saturday after the plane crash, but only did half of Kulwicki's "Polish Victory Lap" as a tribute. He had come into the Cup Series the same time as Kulwicki in 1985, and he stated he didn't want to do all of Kulwicki's routine.
Rusty Wallace, a rival of Kulwicki's from their time racing on the Midwestern ASA circuit, won the following day's Cup Series race. Kulwicki's closest friend among the drivers, Wallace opted to do the entire backwards lap. In fact, the Polish victory lap became a part of Wallace's routine after every Bristol victory.
"He did it several times here," Estes recalled. "It was always with Alan in mind. Alan was the reigning champion and had won the Food City 500 the year before. The races he had won he done as an underdog and he really impacted a lot of people up and down pit road."
Kulwicki won five races over his Sprint Cup career, his first coming at Phoenix in 1988. Although he won a series championsip, Bristol was the only track where Kulwicki won twice.
It was fitting that three years after his death, Bristol Motor Speedway named the Kulwicki grandstand in his honor, one of several honors which the fallen champion received posthmously.
"When Bruton (Smith) bought this track in 1996 and hired Jeff Byrd as general manager, the grandstands had lots of different names which were commercial names," Estes said. "One of the first things Jeff Byrd wanted to do was make it easier for the race fans to find their seats with driver names. The first one he named, he said, 'We have to do one for Kulwicki.' He is a part of this place and always will be."

Rated 5 out of 5 by MorgieB from Best Buy Ok so it sucksss that Bebes stores havw closed and you cant try this stuff on. That coupled with the fact that they have a 21 day return policy and sometimes take 10+ days to to get the item(s) to you...Plus you can't try them on. They are known to be difficult to return anyways. So I havw cut down my purchases to only when absolutely necessary. That being said, this is a quality staple. The material is thick and thw ribbing hides flaws. The length is just belowthe knee for my nearly 5'5 frame. I am petite but very curvy and I have cellulite bc I have a huge backside lol. But you can't see anything but my shape. They are not see through and work appropriate. The slit is on one side, not two. As usual, Bebe doesn't offer enough colors...A plum, green, navy, red, khaki etc would work for this skirt too. Fits true to size, I got a small and i'm nearly 5'5 140 waist is 26 ans hips are 38, thighs are very muscular...Hope this helps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ShellyS from Best Leggings Ever This is my second pair of leggings from Bebe. I thought the first pair (high-waist with a zipper in the front) were amazing, but these are even better, especially for a tall girl like myself. These are also high waisted and smooth out my belly area. They also have a sewn line going down the front and back of each leg, giving the design of the leggings a bit of an edge. I overall love them and i'm considering buying a second pair of these since I wear them so often now. P.S. these are also great for girls who are a little thick in the butt area.
Date published: 2017-09-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by ViaBB from Comfy leggings Nice thick leggings. The material is quality. They are a little roomy around the bottom/ankle which works for these leggings. The V waistband is unique and makes it different from my other leggings. I am 5'10" and the length is perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaxx from Great tights! I needed a simple pair of tights and these a great! The waist is a little big, which I didn't think would happen lol. I ordered an XS and have a few inches in the waist, but it's fine.
Date published: 2017-09-09
Rated 4 out of 5 by MaryLB from A Roomy Fit I was anticipating more the look on the picture- true form, sleek fit. The leggings fit larger than I was hoping (ordered size small; 5'3, 120lbs). I believe a full size down- then they would be perfect. Although they don't look baggy, they are just roomy and a little long. I would say these are ideal for the office, going to lunch or errands. Not a workout legging!
