ANNONA, Texas (AP) ? Texas authorities say eight people, including a mother and her three children, have been killed in a fiery, two-vehicle crash in Texas.
Trooper Sylvia Jennings with the Texas Department of Public Safety says a car traveling eastbound on U.S. 82 in Annona in East Texas crossed the center line and struck a westbound car driven by Sonia de la Torre of Annona. She and her 8-year-old daughter Erica, 6-year-old son Saul Jr. and 10-month-old son Eric all died.
Eric Wright and Curtis Derelle Sanders of Compton, California, who were in the eastbound car, were also killed. Two other people in their car also died.
Authorities say a passer-by discovered the cars in flames. Jennings says there were no witnesses.
Annona is about 150 miles (242 kilometers) northeast of Dallas.

Dear Lifehacker,
Most people probably don't have a lot of trouble responding to gifts because all it really takes is a smile and a "thank you." Still, there are those among us who struggle a bit to either fake it when we get a bad gift, or to offer up an adequate amount of appreciation to a really good gift. Here's some help if you need it.
There are two possible scenarios where you might get into a little hot water with gift receiving. You either didn't buy someone a gift at all, or you purchased a gift that is significantly cheaper than what they give you.
Thank you cards are a difficult thing to keep track of, but according to etiquette expert Cindy Post Senning, they're still necessary. While her advice revolves around children, the trait of sending thank you cards is supposed to carry through to adulthood. Thankfully, she notes that email is a perfectly acceptable means to communicate your thanks, so you don't need to pull out the pen and paper unless you want to.
During a live broadcast of Raw on June 27, CM Punk sat cross-legged on the entrance ramp in a vintage ?Stone Cold? Steve Austin T-shirt and delivered a monologue that has become the sports-entertainment equivalent of William Wallace?s speech to the war weary Scots at the end of ?Braveheart.? A pointed, stirring battle cry that both indicted the enemy and roused the people, the call to arms led legions of WWE fans to unite under one word ? change.
Pale and unshaven with a hood yanked over his sleepless eyes, CM Punk may not look like the new face of WWE, but the face is the least distinctive element of this champion?s appearance. What sets The Straight Edge Superstar apart from Hulk Hogan, Bob Backlund, John Cena and every other well muscled American man that?s carried sports-entertainment?s most coveted title is his alternative appeal ? the garage rock aesthetic, the blue jean and black hoodie uniform, the arms as illustrated as the rack in a comic book store.
Daniel Bryan may be the most unlikely success story of them all. A humble, 200-pound phenom from Aberdeen, Washington, the submission expert wrestled his way across the globe for a decade, earning repute as one of the world?s greatest technicians in the process. He even locked up with CM Punk in armories on the east coast when the two were standouts on the indies. But, in spite of being trained by Shawn Michaels and William Regal, Bryan never fit the preconception of what a World Champion should be. He?s pale, he doesn?t eat meat, you won?t see him riding in a limo or a leer jet and his shoes probably don?t cost more than your house.

We've all been there. After years of faithful service and happy memories, the trusty old (insert gadget here) is tuckered out and needs replacing. Some of us recycle our old gadgetry (and bravo/a to you), while others might try to sell it on the cheap, eBay-style. But
