1. Best Value - ASUS VivoBook Q200E 11.6-inch
Most of the new ultrabooks and laptops in this size range are extremely expensive, but if you don't mind some slightly older hardware, you can get some great values like the ASUS VivoBook Q200E which can be found for under $400. It uses the older Core i3-3217U with 4GB of memory which is sufficient for many people's basic computing needs. The 11.6-inch display is a touchscreen which is nice with the Windows 8 operating system. It does lag behind most ultrabooks though because it relies on a 500GB hard drive and it certainly does not have long battery life either.
2. Best Battery Life - Apple MacBook Air 13
The Intel Haswell processors have brought a lot of longevity to laptops that was missing from past models. No better example of this can be found than the Apple MacBook Air 13. While the redesign did not add in the Retina display or change the general performance much, the new Core i5-4250U allowed the system to achieve over ten hours of running time which was unheard of in a laptop. The system also has some of the fastest storage on the market thanks to the new PCI-Express based 256GB solid state drive. Apple even reduced its price down to just $1299 for this configuration. If you want a bit more performance, better display yet still have lots of running time, the Apple MacBook Pro 13 with Retina Display also achieves some long running times of just under ten hours.
3. Best Ultrathin - Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus
There are plenty of extremely thin ultrabooks on the market now but Samsung has gone and made their ATIV Book 9 Plus unique because it offers the highest resolution display in its class thanks to the 3200x1800 display panel that is even higher than the MacBook Pro with Retina Display. It is incredible to look at but the system also offers good performance with its Core i5-4200U dual core processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory and 128GB solid state drive. All of this in a chassis that is just .54-inches thick and weighs just over three pounds. Pricing starts around $1400. An alterntive option if you don't need such a high resolution display is the Acer Aspire S7-392 that is a bit less expensive at just $1300 and is a bit thinner and lighter.
4. Best Convertible - Dell XPS 12
If you want a laptop that can also double as a tablet from time to time, there are a number of convertible or hybrids on the market. The Dell XPS 12 offers a nice 12.5-inch display that has the ability to rotate around in its lid frame to switch from laptop to tablet modes. The 2013 version gets a nice boots from the Core i5-4200U dual core processor which really helps boost the battery life and gives it decent performance. Storage is limited to just 128GB solid state drive but that is common to most ultrabook based systems. The only downside is that the hybrid laptops are generally a good deal heavier than a straight tablet. Pricing starts around $1200. An alternative is the newly released Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro which is a bit lighter and has a higher resolution display but shorter battery life.
5. Lightest - Sony VAIO Pro 13
Laptops continue to get lighter but the Sony VAIO Pro 13 comes in at an amazing lightweight 2.34bls for a 13-inch display equipped ultrabook. This makes it the lightest available and it is also quite capable thanks to the Core i7-4500U dual core processor with 8GB of memory and 128GB solid state drive. Sony achieved the light weight through the use of carbon fiber but it does lack a bit of the rigidity one might expect in this class. The 13.3-inch display features a nice high 1920x1080 screen resolution and the battery life is decent considering its weight and performance. Priced around $1500. Of course if you want something a bit more compact and nearly as light, Apple's MacBook Air 11 weighs just 2.4 lbs and is a bit more sturdy and affordable at the cost of performance and screen resolution.
6. Best Gaming Origin PC EON13-S 13.3-inch
All sorts of laptops keep getting smaller including those that are designed specifically for gaming. This includes a number of options based on the Clevo W230ST chassis including the Origin PC EON13-S. This one stands out from the others because it features a dual 120GB SSD drive array plus a 750GB hard drive to offer fast performance and lots of storage. It also uses the Core i7-4700MQ quad core processor with 8GB of memory plus a GeForce GTX 765M graphics processor to provide a capable gaming system in a small package. Just be warned that it can get quite loud under heavy loads. Priced around $1750. A similar but slightly more affordable option might be the Digital Storm Veloce that skips an SSD but is just $1300.

A man used a gun to steal money from the Holiday Inn Express in Annapolis on Saturday night, according to Anne Arundel County police.
At about 8 p.m. on Saturday, officers responded to the Holiday Inn Express at 2451 Riva Rd. in Annapolis for a report of an armed robbery. Upon arrival, police learned that a man entered the building, showed a handgun and demanded money from a hotel employee, according to a press release.
The hotel clerk complied and the suspect then fled on foot, police said.
County officers and an Annapolis City K-9 unit searched the area but did not locate the suspect.

GENEVA (AP) — The European Broadcasting Union has shown its faith in cycling, announcing a third long-term race broadcasting deal since Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.
The EBU, which has members in 56 countries, extended its commitment on Wednesday to the one-day classic Amstel Gold Race through to 2016.
Despite cycling's damaged image after the Armstrong case, Europe's public broadcasters also extended rights deals in recent weeks for the Tour of Flanders one-day classic and Criterium du Dauphine stage race.
Stefan Kuerten, the EBU director of sports and business, told The Associated Press he faced "substantial interest" from rival bidders.
Kuerten says broadcasters believe "cycling is on the way ... to being a proper sport again without having any problems with doping."

Summary: As a photographer I appreciate a good camera. I replaced an earlier model Olympus with the new TG-810 because of the underwater housing available as an accessory. This camera is the worst camera I have ever owned. It has exceptionally slow response after pressing the exposure button which makes any image capture almost impossible. The battery lasts only a very short time, often only for a few exposures.
The focus is slow and inaccurate. The image quality is poor at best. The exposure dynamics are terrible leaving a wide range of poor lighting in image after image.
I am sorry for Olympus. They are capable of a much better product.

- Manufacturer: Olympus
- Part number: TG-810 SILVER
- Description: Whatever your camera has to put up with, now there's no need to worry. Thanks to Olympus' toughest ever technology, this Tough camera is virtually indestructible. It's waterproof, shockproof, freeze proof and scratches resistant to an unprecedented degree. A sliding double lock mechanism for port and battery protection mean your Tough will survive just about anything, from a food fight at a kids' birthday party to an unexpected fall when you have to juggle your phone and camera to take a call. What's more, the Tough camera offers a host of cutting-edge features that deliver excellent image quality, usability and connectivity in any shooting situation. The 3.0" HyperCrystal III LCD display features an extra high resolution that generates beautifully bright and clear images. It also has a special layer that reflects light from external sources, thus reducing reflection even in direct sunlight - for outstanding visibility in a variety of shooting situations. And of course it's super-tough. A triple-coated acrylic finish makes the LCD more scratch-resistant than ever before. The Face Detection technology searches for faces in a composition and recognizes them as the main subject. It then automatically puts them in focus and optimally adjusts exposure to create an image that's sharp in the right places and ideally exposed. The AF tracking system tracks a moving subject automatically and keeps it continually in focus - for optimally focused and exposed pictures. It even memorizes the subject when it goes out of frame and resumes tracking when it reappears. Providing two-fold protection, the dual image stabilization function helps to avoid image blur caused by camera shake or fast-moving subjects. It combines high ISO values with a CCD-based mechanical image stabilizer, where a built-in gyro sensor detects camera movement and adjusts the CCD accordingly. The "intelligent-auto" mode uses advanced automatic detection technology that enables the camera to automatically recognize the most commonly shot scenes. This makes it possible to capture perfect photos without the need for manual settings. In the i-Auto mode, the camera detects when it is underwater and automatically activates the i-Underwater Snapshot, adjusting the tricky settings required for top-quality underwater shooting. It's perfect for portraits shot in shallow water and captures the subject and the background vividly. The scene mode offers a choice of different scenes to suit the subject being captured, for example, landscape, night, beach and snow or pet. The camera automatically adjusts a host of parameters to achieve the best possible result for the chosen scene. The Shadow Adjustment technology is designed to improve exposure for pictures with dark areas. Using a sensor that works much like the human eye, dark parts of a composition are identified and the camera then adjusts the exposure settings accordingly for those areas. The result is a more realistic and detailed picture. The TAP control mode lets users access a range of camera functions simply by tapping the camera body. Quick view mode, shooting mode, a user-defined feature, and snow mode can be accessed by tapping at particular points of the camera. Tilting the camera scrolls through images in playback mode. The TruePic III+ image processor automatically enhances important aspects of image quality, including color reproduction and picture sharpness as well as processing data faster.

Times West Virginian
The rates will stay the same.
In a special meeting, the Marion County Commission discussed and set excess levy rates for fiscal year 2013-14.
Basically, it's what you paid last year.
The excess levy is voted on every five years by the citizens. FY 2013-14 (which runs July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014) is the last year of the current five-year excess levy.
The levy rate represents the multiplier that is used to determine the amount of taxes to be charged to individual taxpayers in a given year.
"The West Virginia Tax Department has forwarded us notice of approval of the levy estimates," said Randy Elliott, commission president.
"Rates will remain the same as last year."
County administrator Kris Cinalli added that there have been no written or verbal objections to the levy estimate.
The levy taxes different classes of property at different rates.
Class I includes all tangible personal property employed exclusively in agriculture, including horticulture and grazing; all products of agriculture (including livestock) while owned by the producer; all notes, bonds, bills and accounts receivable, stocks and any other intangible personal property.

Women's health expert Christiane Northrup, MD, recommends a hormone-balancing diet that includes lean protein at every meal and limiting grains—even whole grains—if you're dealing with a gluten sensitivity.
High-glycemic foods can trigger hormonal spikes, so Dr. Northrup advocates eating smaller portions of foods like basmati rice, kidney beans, potatoes, and bananas.
Instead, she recommends low-glycemic options such as chickpeas, black beans, leafy vegetables, wild rice, and pears. (Obviously, anyone with a gluten sensitivity should avoid gluten or limit it to tolerable amounts.)
Dr. Northrup also offers these tips:
- Eat at least three meals a day—never skip breakfast or lunch to "save" calories for dinner.
- Eat a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables every day—the more colorful the better.
- Eat healthy fats daily, such as eggs, flaxseeds, soybeans, walnuts, and wild, coldwater fish.

Dang, this global warming is going to be the death of us all.
Just wonder how much of this warming we can stand. We had about four inches of warming at our house the past few days and now they tell us we are having a few more inches of warming today.
Rabon and Sue Smith have been friends of Ole I.C. for many years and we hold their friendship with a lot of respect. Back a few years ago, Rabon and their son Terry on several occasions saved The Times Journal as they would come to our rescue.
Sue sent us the following item this week as she found this among some clippings of Rabon's Mom.
My Dear Friend
Just a line to say I'm living
That I'm not among the dead
Though I'm getting more forgetful
and more mixed p in the head
For sometime I can't remember
When i stand at th foot of the stairs,
If I must go up for something
or If I've just come down from there
And before the "fridge" so often
My poor mind is filled with doubt...
Have I just put food away, or
have I come to take some out.
And there are times when it's dark out,
Withmy nightcap on my head,
I don't know if I'm retiring
Or just getting out of bed.
So, if it's myturn to write you,
There's not need in getting sore;
I maythink that I have written
And don;t want to be a bore.
So remember, I do love you,
And I wish that you were here,
But it's nearly mail time
So, I must say, Goodbye, Dear.
Here I stand beside my mailbox
And boy, is my face red,
instead of mailing you my letter,
I have opened it instead.
A little boy returned from Sunday school with a new perspective on the Christmas story. He had learned all about the Wise Men from the East who brought gifts to the Baby Jesus. He was so excited he could hardly wait to tell his parents.
As soon as he arrived home, he immediately began, "I learned all about the very first Christmas in Sunday school today! There wasn't a Santa Claus way back then, so these three skinny guys on camels had to deliver all the toys!
"And Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with his nose so bright wasn't there yet, so they had to have this big spotlight in the sky to find their way around!"
How They Forecast a Cold Winter
One day in early September the chief of a Native American tribe was asked by his tribal elders if the winter of 2009/10 was going to be cold or mild. The chief asked his medicine man, but he too had lost touch with the reading signs from the natural world around the Great Lakes.
In truth, neither of them had idea about how to predict the coming winter. However, the chief decided to take a modern approach, and the chief rang the National Weather Service in Gaylord Michigan.
"Yes, it is going to be a cold winter," the meteorological officer told the chief. Consequently, he went back to his tribe and told the men to collect plenty of firewood.
A fortnight later the chief called the Weather Service and asked for an update. 'Are you still forecasting a cold winter?' he asked.
'Yes, very cold', the weather officer told him.
As a result of this brief conversation the chief went back to the tribe and told his people to collect every bit of wood they could find.
A month later the chief called the National Weather Service once more and asked about the coming winter. 'Yes,' he was told, 'it is going to be one of the coldest winters ever.'
'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked.
The weatherman replied: "Because the Native Americans of the Great Lakes are collecting wood like crazy."
Be careful with you innovative ways of keeping warm.
1) This is a true story about John Porter, from New York State, USA, whose pipes in his home froze one winter. Anxious to unfreeze them, Mr Porter backed his car up to an open window so that the exhaust would warm up the house.heat
A little while later and Porter, his wife and their three children had to be rushed to hospital suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning.
2) George Gibbs, from Columbus, Ohio, suffered second-degree burns on his head. This is what happened one freezing cold winter morning. Unable to start his car, George diagnosed the problem as a frozen fuel line which he thought he could correct by running warm gas through it. He then tried to heat a two-gallon can of gas on his gas stove in the kitchen. Ah.....
Sarah new young bride calls her mother in tears. She sobs, "Richard doesn't appreciate what I do for him."Now, now," her mother comforted, "I am sure it was all just a misunderstanding."
"No, mother, you don't understand. I bought a frozen turkey roll and he yelled and screamed at me about the price."
"Well, the nerve of that lousy cheapskate," says her mum. "Those turkey rolls are only a few dollars."
"No, mother it wasn't the price of the turkey. It was the aeroplane ticket." "Aeroplane ticket...." What did you need an airplane ticket for?"
"Well mother, when I went to fix it, I looked at the directions on the package and it said: "Prepare from a frozen state," so I flew to Alaska."
Grandpa decided that shopping for Christmas presents had become too difficult. All his grandchildren had everything they needed, so he decided to send them each a check.
On each card he wrote:
'Happy Christmas Grandpa'
P.S. 'Buy your own present!'
Now, while Grandpa enjoyed the family festivities, he thought that his grandchildren were just slightly distant. It preyed on his mind into the New Year. Then one day he was sorting out his study and under a pile of magazines, he found a little pile of checks for his grandchildren. He had completely forgotten to put them in with the Christmas cards.
The tip of the week....
New use for Windex
I haven't checked to see if this actually Works or Not .. . . But they say,
If you ever get the sudden URGE to run around naked,
You should sniff some Windex first.
It'll keep you from streaking.
Have a great Christmas and in case you did not see this column a few weeks ago....shirt size is XL, pants, 38 and our favorite color is blue.
Christmas you know.

Financial Aid & Scholarships
Western Illinois University has instituted a cost guarantee program for transfer students.

Western was the first university in the state to offer this guarantee, and the only university in the state to include fees and room and board in that guarantee.
In addition to the cost guarantee program, scholarship programs are available including the Bertha Greishaber Fink Scholarship , the Dorothy Hanson Scholarship, and the Norman & Carmelita Tetter Scholarship. One application and set of recommendations are required.
Other forms of financial assistance, including loans, grants, and scholarships, are available through the Financial Aid Office.

For most people, buying a vehicle is a major purchase. For this reason, it always tends to be a bit harrowing and to seem a bit risky—doubly so when buying a vehicle on eBay Motors, which may be thousands of miles away and whose price may be set by auction bidding rather than face-to-face negotiation.
For these reasons, eBay sponsors an independent protection program for eBay Motors buyers that protects buyers on purchases up to $50,000 in value.
The purchase protection program kicks in whenever the following occur:
You pay for a vehicle but never receive it.
You send a refundable deposit for a vehicle but never receive it.
Law enforcement determines you've paid for a stolen vehicle.
You've paid for a vehicle that has an undisclosed lein against its title.
You've paid for a vehicle whose make, model, or year were not accurately described.
No title can be obtained for a vehicle for which you've paid and for which a title was claimed to be clear and available.
You've paid for a vehicle that was not disclosed as, but was, salvaged, rebuilt, unrebuildable, junked, a lemon under lemon laws, subject to manufacturer buyback, or has incurred water damage but was not a water or race vehicle.
The vehicle has substantial odometer inaccuracy.
The vehicle has an undisclosed necessary repair issue that will cost more than $1,000 (or $1,500 for some vehicles) to repair.
What Vehicle Protection Doesn't Cover
There are of course a whole host of things that eBay's program doesn't cover, but here are some of the most common:
Undisclosed damage on vehicles 10 years old or older.
Any normal wear and tear or general consumable/maintenance issues.
Needed repairs to noncritical/noneccesay systems such as the interior, exhaust, air conditioning, electrics, suspension, and other systems.
Needed repairs not exceeding $1,000 (or $1,500 for some vehicles).
Cosmetic damage.
Damage or needed repairs that you are unable to document/verify for eBay.
Nonrefundable deposits in the case of incomplete transactions.
Any indirect costs associated with a transaction (loss of work, lost profits, inconvenience arising from a seller's decision not to complete the transaction, etc.).
Any title issues for vehicle listings in which the title was not described as being available, free, and clear.
Inability to register a titled vehicle for any reason other than those outlined above.
Any issues that were fully disclosed prior to the transaction.
Any repairs or expenses incurred prior to the determination of the Vehicle Protection Program.
Any transaction or costs associated with a transaction when the transaction was not completed (i.e. through a winning bid, Buy it Now, or Make Offer purchase) through the eBay Motors website.
Any costs or damages associated with a transaction whose total value was $100.00 or less.
Eligibility Requirements
The complete set of requirements is outlined on the program website, but the basics are:
You must have purchased a vehicle on eBay Motors.
You and the seller must both have eBay accounts in good standing with nonnegative feedback ratings.
You must not have requested another Vehicle Protection reimbursement in the last 6 months.
All parties to the transaction (including any financial institutions involved) must be based in the United States or Canada.
You must submit a reimbursement request under the program within 30 days of the end of the listing (not 30 days of payment and/or delivery), except in two cases: stolen vehicles (for which you have 365 days) and missing and unobtainable title (for which you have 90 days).
Filing a Case
If you believe that you have been dealt with unfairly or in bad faith and are eligible under the terms outlined above for reimbursement under the program, use this link to open a case:
Click here to file a Vehicle Purchase Protection claim.
Note: The form must be accessed from the eBay Motors page linked above. To locate the link to the form, scroll to the "Process and Deadlines to Request Reimbursement" and look for the highlighted words "reimbursement request." Click them.

Stuff Theater
About a month ago Leo Burnett, Arc and Cap Gun launched "Stuff Theater" for Norton on Facebook. It was 24 hours of favorite Norton Facebook fan statuses being acted out LIVE by Chicago talent. A status was posted and it was then acted out. Sometimes a song was made on the spot, or a puppet show or a dramatic reading, but the point is it was all done live. Interesting idea really. We just wonder how many people actually saw it live and what really went on at 2am. Check the highlights.

25 best Fallout New Vegas mods
Fallout: New Vegas is good. Is it perfect? No. In hardcore mode, the rate at which you die from thirst isn't high enough. I demand to die faster! Luckily, there's a mod for that. In fact, there are lots of mods. There are tweaks that alter the weight of scrap metal, there are difficulty mods that turn you into a wimp and jack up your foes until they hit like a sack of broken glass, there are mods that turn this or that female companion into that girl from Code Geass, and there's even a mod that makes stimpaks weigh more than you could possibly carry.
Most of them suck, though. Here are twenty five that don't.
These mods are the best of the bunch. Some are delightful departures from the New Vegas you know, others will become an essential part of your wasteland wandering, and one or two just make it prettier. You can't use them all together, but you can use most. To install them, download the archives and empty them into your Data folder – find it in Steam\Steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\.
1. Centred third person camera
Why did Bethesda give us the weird over-the-shoulder cam in Fallout 3? Why didn't Obsidian get rid of it for New Vegas? We may never know. Probably because they imagined players actually trying to take aim and fire in third person mode, which is insane. Third person is for screenshots and lightsaber fights - we've known that since Jedi Knight 2! Fortunately, every time a developer does this, one of the lovely modder people undoes it.
This mod also lets you zoom all the way out. How far? All of the far, that's how far.
- [Download]
2. Black Company improved perks
A whole slew of balanced, interesting perks. It comes in two flavours – both are available at any level, but require you to meet certain criteria. In the first version, you need to have high abilities – those are the things you pick at the start and can only occasionally increase. The second version is identical, but requires you to meet skill point thresholds instead. They're all wonderfully inventive and cover a wide range of interests and specialist player archetypes left out in the cold by Obsidian's vanilla perks.

3. Better tag skills
This tweak doubles the bonus your character gets at the start of the game for tagging his or her three starter skills. These tag skills are intended as a reflection of your character's past experiences and aptitudes before they ended up left for dead in a shallow grave. If you max out Strength and tag Melee Weapons, you'll get a skill of 50. Not bad at all.
- [Download]
4. Kill the karma sounds
Okay, so I killed a guy, and I've spent the last five minutes picking through his belongings. I'm ashamed of myself. I need help. What I don't need is some annoying string section blaring at me every time I happen to put a kitchen knife into a guy's back and strip his body of clothes and valuables and then start chopping bits off of him for fun. This mod gets rid of the noise and text pop-up that annoys you while you're doing these horrible, unspeakable things.
Tricky uninstall alert!
This mod works by overriding the karma noises with empty files. There's no esp file to delete, and instead you'll have to delete the relevant sound files that you've installed. The readme is kind enough to explain which ones. Wouldn't it be nice if they were all zipped up in a bsa file? Wouldn't it just.
- [Download]
5. Bigger barter and dialogue windows
The barter window is an important window. There, you'll discover that you can finally buy a fancy business suit to complete the Agent 47 impression. You'll discover that hollowpoint rounds are so hot right now. You'll discover that you don't have enough caps to buy the bottle of dirty water that'll save you from your imminent death. This mod makes the barter and dialogue windows bigger, so you can spend less time paddling around looking for the stimpaks, and more time despairing because you can only afford two of them.

If you're a die-hard NBA fan with a strong sense of a history of the game, then you may be noticing a changing of the times this postseason.
For decades, the playoffs were always about slowing the tempo down and grinding matters out in a halfcourt game. Size was always paramount as the postseason began.
Well, not anymore.
Three of the four teams left in the playoffs today desperately want to play at a fast pace because, admittedly, uptempo is when they're at their best. The fourth team, Boston, also wants to get out and run when they have a chance. These old Celtics are the only team with a "short" 8 man rotation in this Final Four of the NBA Playoffs. Remember when every team shortened to an 8-man rotation in the playoffs? That was once the norm in the day of Jeff Van Gundy and Pat Riley. Now such a rotation is the sign of a weak team.
The C's lost game 2 of the Conference Finals due to exhaustion as much as anything else. Rajon Rondo played the entire game (including OT) and Kevin Garnett played 40 minutes, himself. Had Paul Pierce not fouled out his legs may have fallen off.
It's all about depth and pace today.
The NBA playoffs, in the day of the Knicks-Heat-Pacers-Bulls were once a war of attrition….today it's a track meet. I even heard a rumor that the Spurs were so intent on running that they made the trip to Oklahoma City for games 3 & 4 on foot.
Another major shift evident today, one that's been coming for years, is the end of the power forward position.
The first substitution on most nights in the league is a 'small' coming in for a 'big.' The second quarter in a typical NBA game is full of guards and swingmen, as coaches are desperate for movement and spacing out on the court.
The Miami Heat, with Chris Bosh out, are starting Shane Battier….a small forward. Okay, so Lebron James has more, um, girth but he's no PF either. Even their starting center, Ronny Turiaf, is really a '4′. The Boston Celtics, meanwhile, turned their season around when they moved Garnett, one of the best PFs in history, to the center spot.
Out West, Tim Duncan (despite what the boxscore says) is NOT really a power forward…..don't believe what the television screen says. He's been playing center for years. Antonio McDyess, Dajuan Blair were only labeled as the starting center to perpetuate this NBA conspiracy and allow him to continue to make All-Star teams at the 4-spot. Sorry folks, but 'Timmy' has been manning the middle for years down in south Texas. The reality is, Coach Pop is starting Boris Diaw at PF today…hardly a power player. The man is just a bigger, plumper point guard. It's like somebody morphed Magic Johnson's vision into Charles Barkley's body (pre-weight watchers). The Spurs are a small team, period.
Lastly, we have the Oklahoma City Thunder who actually have a traditional 'bigman' rotation with Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka. However, the problem they're having in this series is they can't hang when both are in the game. Scott Brooks' small lineup was one of the keys to beating the Lakers and their 'Twin Towers' last round. In this series, though, he's going small in the 4th quarter for fear of getting blown out by a team who is even better with the small lineup…San Antonio.
Just look at the list of starting centers who were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs this season: Andrew Bynum, Roy Hibbert, DeAndre Jordan, Spencer Hawes…all legit seven-footers and 2 are even All-Stars. Even the PF's were impressive last round: Blake Griffin, Pau Gasol, David West, Elton Brand.
10 years ago I would have put my money on the Lakers, Clippers, Pacers, and 76ers advancing this year. Those teams all had the size and strength that was once a necessity in the playoffs.
The league is truly changing. It's all about the ten-man rotation. You gotta go small and try and out-run your opponent.
"Four guards n' a big" seems to be the new modus operandi for head coaches.
Karl Malone is somewhere out on the bayou, logging…..and laughing…at this new NBA.

Original recipe yields 1 9-inch round loaf
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
- Stir together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter gently into the flour mixture until well combined, and stir in the raisins. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together; lightly beat the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Place the dough into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the bread has risen and the top is golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour. A knife inserted into the center of the bread should come out clean. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm.

I just made this last night and it was GREAT. Easy to make. I had to add a little more flour because the consistency was too stick. Family thought it wasn't sweet enough so next time I am adding a little more sugar to the recipe.
this bread hit some what the middle of the road for us. While I thought it was 3, my son gave it a 3. My oldest gave it a 4, while my middle daughter and my hubby gave it a 5. I'd never made this kind of bread. The recipe was very easy. It wasn't sweet, but was like a light biscuit bread. The raisins made it sweet. Can't say it was the best bread but can't say it was the worst either. But what I can say is that it was okay, but this batch needs to be divided into 2. The reason I say that is because It's so dense, that the bottom center never got completely baked even after it was in the oven an hour and 15 minutes. While it looked pretty, it was to thick. 2 smaller round loaves would have been better for the baking process. But I think in my own preference. To improve this better for my taste. Add just a hint of cinnamon to it. But it's an okay bread.
Great recipe...not like a traditional Irish soda bread...this is really like a cake. I added a touch of vanilla. It's delicious!

By this time in the holiday whirlwind, no doubt you're tired. Beyond weary, frazzled, fatigued. You're chronically exhausted. It's been one long to-do list since the last forkful of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, and the showstoppers still loom large on that countdown.
Christmas Eve dinner. Christmas morning brunch. Christmas Day dinner. Santa sliding down 3.7 billion chimneys during his annual rounds is elementary compared to the strength it sometimes takes to muster as we approach the holiday finish line.
A solution to the great holiday food marathon that comes close to wilting my robust cuisine spirit is a concept that, regrettably, has taken me years to perfect: keep it simple. Sublimely simple. Dishes that require the least amount of kitchen time but still pack an impressive punch make my short list for holiday entertaining. Recipes within recipes— the ones that require five-step vinaigrettes or croutons from homemade bread or pans of candied pecans in order to complete the dish—are eschewed. I save those for dinner parties after I've recovered from holiday overload, sometime in March or April.
Instead, my Christmas menus include dishes that are like friends I greet once a year, picking up where we left off. Comfortable foods to make and eat. Christmas Eve dinner is a rich and elegant oyster stew that I serve with thinly sliced garlic toasts. Christmas morning brunch includes savory basil cheese strata that, once everything is measured and the crusts are cut from the challah, I can make with my eyes closed. Christmas Day dinner are individual Rock Cornish game hens glazed to a picture-perfect mahogany and presented resting on creamy white china, fresh thyme peeking out from under their demure bottoms, moist stuffing tumbling from tiny cavities.
Each year I take a couple of new sides I deem as worthy accompaniments to the Christmas dinner centerpiece for a spin. Never am I (or my guests) disappointed, which is a good thing. By the time this meal rolls around, I'm in no mood for an uncooperative dish.
The Dean & DeLuca Cookbook by David Rosengarten is a constant companion in my kitchen. Not only is it a dependable workhorse, the thick volume is also a creative resource for nightly dinners or company's-coming inspiration. Here is a soul-satisfying side dish for Christmas dinner that is simple—and guaranteed to impress.
Celery Root Gratin
Serves 12
4 pounds celery root, peeled and -coarsely chopped
3 pounds russet potatoes, (preferably Idaho), peeled and coarsely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 stick, (1/2 cup) butter
1/2 teaspoon saffron
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 ½ cups Gruyère, coarsely grated
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Preheat oven to 400°
Place the celery root and the potatoes in separate large saucepans with enough salted water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until soft. Strain both the celery and the potatoes and set aside. In a heavy saucepan bring the cream to a boil over moderately high heat, and add the butter, saffron and garlic. Reduce the heat to moderately low, and cook about 5 minutes, or until the cream mixture is bright yellow.
Purée the celery root in a food processor, gradually adding the cream
mixture. Set aside. Place the potatoes in a bowl and mash until you have a
rough texture. Add the celery root mixture to the potatoes, and add 1 cup
of the Gruyère. Mix together with a wooden spoon and season generously with
salt and pepper.
Butter a 13-inch by 9-inch ovenproof dish (about 10-cup capacity). If you prefer to serve individual portions, you could use instead eight #4-size ramekins (each one has a 1 ¼ cup capacity). Place the celery root-potato mixture in the large, ovenproof dish or in the individual ramekins.
Sprinkle the top with the parsley and the remaining Gruyère. Bake in oven for about 15 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the top is golden brown.

Cumberland Times-News
FROSTBURG — Frostburg State scored 47 points in the second half but fell a few points short and lost to Salisbury on Senior Day at Bobcat Arena.
Frostburg (6-17, 2-9 CAC) made just 5 of 27 shots and had 13 turnovers in the first half as Salisbury (11-11, 5-5) built a 39-22 lead. But the Bobcats found plenty of offense in the second half, and Elaina Hummel's three-point play just six seconds into the half started a valliant comeback attempt.
Consecutive layups later by Hummel and James made it a 10-point game, and a James steal led to a three-point play by Deara Parker that cut the score to 60-53 with six minutes left. A Brynn Arnone-James give-and-go and a pair of free throws by Steph Straka got it to 67-64 with 2:41 to go, and another bucket by Straka made it 67-66 with 1:46 showing.
The Bobcats, however, missed a shot that would have given them the lead, and a three-pointer by Salisbury's Courtney McManus and several foul shots in the final minute helped the Sea Gulls hold on.
Anna Hackett had 26 points and Julia McLaughlin 21 for Salisbury.
Hummel had 20 points and hit 10 of 11 free throws for Frostburg State. Straka added 13 points and four assists and Young nine points and eight rebounds.
The Bobcats host Marymount in their final regular-season home game on Wednesday.
Hagerstown 72
Allegany 52
CUMBERLAND — Five Hagerstown players scored in double figures, with Katie Sprecher leading the way with 20 points, as the Hawks beat Allegany at Bob Kirk Arena.
Deidre Burch had 15 points, Sasha Orr 13 and Katie Connelly and Miesha Adams 12 each for Hagerstown (11-12).
The game was the final home game for Allegany sophomores Madi Nightengale and Monique Rhodes, who combined for 42 of the Trojans' 52 points.
Nightengale had a game-high 24, hitting six field goals and 10 of 12 foul shots. Rhodes made eight field goals and a pair of foul shots for 18 points.
Paris Duncan added six points and a team-high eight rebounds.
Allegany (3-19) will play again Tuesday, in the first round of the Maryland JUCO Tournament, expecting to get a rematch with the Hawks in Hagerstown.
