Head coach Scott Cross, center, supervises his staff doing defensive drills with the Men's basketball team. The team started practice Monday for the upcoming season in the Western Athletic Conference.
A lot of times when shooting sports we think to focus solely on the action. Get the guy with the ball, follow him with the camera, and capture his every move until something good happens. We sometimes forget that we actually need to take a [moment] to step back and think about the overall composition.
In this shot Casey used his photographer's eye and found a great framing opportunity. Not only do you get the head coach in the center watching over the coaching staff and players running drills, but there's also a hierarchy. The head coach is the sole person in the center. You get his coaching staff right under him working with the players that are underneath them.
It's interesting when you think about it. Whether intentional or not it creates a great photo that goes deeper than just the action.

A big theme lately has been to be on the lookout and be patient. Of all the photos shot in this series, this was the only one where the photographer caught the spark of electricity. The other photos were good but they were just missing that one thing. If you're out shooting something and you know what you want, don't stop until you get it. Almost isn't good enough. Patience is all you need to get the shot just like you want it.

From 8-10 p.m. Mav Fest featured free bowling and billiards to any students that came by Monday at Bowling and Billiards.
A detail shot doesn't necessarily mean getting a close up of someone hands. Sometimes it can simply be a small part of a bigger story. The story here is Mav Fest featured free bowling and billiards. This detail shot shows the billiards part of the story. It's not showing everything that's going on because then it becomes an overall or establishing shot rather than a detail. A detail shot is simply that, a detail of the story.

Architecture and city planning graduate student Milad Fereshtehnezhad submitted a plan to that was approved by the Arlington Urban Design Center to redesign the Mesquite street side of the Arlington Public Library. Work is currently underway.
Photography isn't just about taking a pretty picture, it's also about telling a story. The key is to compose the photo in a way that encompasses all the elements of the story without the photo becoming cluttered and messy. In this photo you get the subject and "Arlington Urban Design Center" in the foreground. In the back you get the different city plans hanging on the wall. This tells you that the story has something to do with architecture and the Arlington Urban Design Center. Right there you already get half of the story without having to read the cutline.
The key in story telling is composition. Without good execution you leave a lot of people with unanswered questions.
Shorthorn photographer Richard Hoang wrote (left):
The photo was taken at an aperture of 1.8 and the main focus was on the main dish (beef stew). I used a flash to bounce off the ceiling to get light to hit the stew since it was in a bowl. A drink and loaf of bread is used to add more content into the photo but not distract the viewer from the main dish.
Shorthorn photographer Brandon Gray wrote:
I wanted the theme to be lunch obviously. I really wanted to focus on the chicken wraps. More on the ingredients inside of the wrap rather than what is surrounding it. Florescent lighting was in the room. I used a flash which was pointed to the ceiling.
When photographing food it's not always about everything on the plate. When you try to focus on everything people don't know what to look at. Here our photographers knew what part of their meal they wanted to focus on. To do that you not only need to focus on the area you want, but also bring the aperture down. As Richard said about his photo, his aperture was set at 1.8. When the aperture is low it helps clean up the background and keeps it from distracting from the main focus.
Everyone eats food everyday, so right before you dig in to your meal try to snap a photo of it focusing on just one part of the meal. It could be anything from the tomato on your McDonald's burger to your grandma's biscuits.

Senior first baseman Jordan Vaughn tries to pick off Baylor's junior catcher Nathan Orf on Saturday at Baylor Ballpark.
When shooting something like sports you have to be on your toes at all times. If you spend too much time on the main thing you'll miss the quick moments like this. One of Baylor's players slid back to first base after trying to steal second. To catch moments in the split second that they happen you have to be aware of everything happening on the field and be quick to strike!

History senior Melissa Raindl takes a Crayon to write in her card of encouragement for a local women's shelter on Wednesday by the University Center Palo Duro Lounge. Raindl wrote, "Stay strong, a mother can never be replaced and today is your day." The Leadership Center hosted the event to support local women's shelters and also provide students with a break from dead week.
It's all in the details. These emotionally packed cards and their messages carried more weight than any other subject at this event. Hoang took quick notice of this, and used the letter pictured above as a powerful visual anchor to layer his image with. Over all, a very successful execution of something that could have been easily passed over by a less observant individual.

Alumnus Riyad Elmasri will bring some of his art to the Downtown Front and Center on Saturday and will also play music. Though he tries to make money off of both his talents, he said it's more about the craft.
Bradley photographed Riyad Elmasri as part of her features story over the Downtown Front and Center festival in Arlington. Elmasri, an artist that creates sculptures with welding, had a several of his works throughout his backyard.
"Originally I asked him if I could take a pictures of some of him with his artwork and also with his instruments but when I passed by this piece I really liked it and asked him if he could climb in there. I didn't really like the picture at first, but by playing around with the settings on the camera, upping the ISO and changing the aperture, I was able to get the lighting how I wanted it," said Bradley.
By putting Elmasri inside the sculpture Bradley was able to create a natural frame within the frame of the photograph. This draws the viewer into the photograph and gives it more depth and intrigue. The late afternoon light cascading down one side of his face made the image higher in contrast and more dramatic.

Internet entrepreneur Kevin Rose was born February 21, 1977, in Las Vegas, Nevada. After dropping out of the University of Las Vegas, Rose began coding software and in 2004 launched Digg, a social news website, with just $1,200. In a few short years, Digg was a smash success—and its founder, a rock star. A shrewd investor, Rose has put money into the early launches of Twitter and Foursquare.
Gotta take risk.
Early Years
Born Robert Kevin Rose on February 21, 1977 in Las Vegas, Nevada. A computer geek almost from the moment he could type, Rose got his start as a programmer at the age of 8 by banging away on the family's Commodore 64 computer.
Never one for schoolwork, his mother once took his keyboard as punishment for not taking his grades more seriously. "I drilled a hole in my desk and put a chain through it so she couldn't take it again," Rose said in a 2009 Reader's Digest profile.
At the age of 19, Rose's computer skills were so good that he earned a job at the Department of Energy's Nevada Test Site, which he did while attending the University of Las Vegas. But Rose's time at college was short. Feeling that a life in Silicon Valley better suited his life and goals, he dropped out of college his sophomore year to work as a programmer full-time.
His instincts paid off. Soon, Rose found himself making important connections with some of Silicon Valley's biggest players. Much it was done through an obscure cable show he hosted called The Screen Savers. Through it, Rose dissected tech news and trends and got to know people such as Apple computer co-founder Steve Wozniak.
As the story goes, Rose had finished another interview with Wozniak and had come home, jealous of the stories the Apple co-founder had about those early, pioneering days when Apple was just getting off the ground. Rose sat down in front of his computer that evening and began digging around for interesting news tidbits that hadn't crossed the radar screens of the major news outlets.
The process to unearth this stuff was messy and time consuming. And that got Rose thinking: He could create a service that did this automatically for users, one that tapped the site's community to post and rank content from bloggers and news sites. Those stories that appeared on the front page would represent the most popular ones of the day.
That, at its essence, is the foundation of Digg, which Rose launched in November 2004 with a $1,200 investment he pulled from his savings account.
Quick Success
By his own admission, Rose's goals for the new site were modest. "If this can pay my rent and I can chill in my apartment and drink my tea and have an awesome little office, that'd be more than I could ask for," he later explained.
But success came quickly. Within a few months, Digg was attracting a few thousand visitors a month, enough to gain ad traction and allow Rose to make it his full-time job. In less than a year, the site's monthly traffic had jumped to 200,000; Rose had a small staff working for him; and he had raised $2.8 million in venture capital.

Eagle Scouts
Incorporated in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America was founded with the aim of instilling ethics and morals into the lives of young boys. A Scout is a "trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent," boy who, above all, strives to "be prepared" and "do his best." The highest order of these Boy Scouts are the Eagle Scouts, a rare group of young men who rise through the scouting ranks to earn 21 merit badges, serve for six months in a troop leadership position, and successfully complete a strict Eagle Scout board of review, among other requirements.
The first Eagle Scout to complete this training was 17-year-old Arthur R. Eldred, on September 2, 1912. Since then, more than 2 million Boy Scouts have earned the coveted rank.

Roger Frederick Wicker (born July 5, 1951) is the junior United States Senator from Mississippi and a member of the Republican Party. In December 2007 he was appointed by Governor Haley Barbour to fill the seat vacated by Trent Lott. He subsequently won the 2008 special election for the remainder of the term and won re-election in 2012 to a second term. Wicker served in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Mississippi's 1st congressional district from 1995 to 2007. Before that, Wicker served in the Mississippi State Senate from 1988 to 1994.
Early life[edit]
Wicker was born in Pontotoc, Mississippi, on July 5, 1951, the son of Wordna Glen (née Threadgill) and Thomas Frederick Wicker. He was appointed by Congressman Jamie L. Whitten (D. Miss) and served as a page in the U.S. House of Representatives when he was 16.[citation needed] He earned a bachelor's degree in journalism and political science and a law degree from the University of Mississippi where he was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity.[1]
After graduation, Wicker served as an officer in the United States Air Force from 1976 to 1980.[2][3] Starting in 1980, he was a member of the Air Force Reserve; he retired from the Reserve in 2003 as a Lieutenant Colonel.[2] Wicker served as a judge advocate.[4]
Early political career[edit]
Wicker began his political career as a member of Trent Lott's political counsel. He then served in the Mississippi State Senate from 1987 to 1994, representing a district that included Tupelo. He was the first Republican elected to the legislature from northern Mississippi since Reconstruction.[citation needed]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
In 1994, Democratic Representative Jamie Whitten declined to seek re-election; he had represented the 1st District for 54 years, a historical record at the time. Wicker finished first in a crowded six-way Republican primary; the other big name in the primary, former U.S. Attorney Bob Whitwell, finished 600 votes short of the other runoff spot. In the runoff, Wicker defeated attorney Grant Fox with 53 percent of the vote.
In the general election, Wicker defeated Fulton attorney Bill Wheeler, capturing 63 percent of the vote,[5] making him the first Republican to represent the 1st District in over a century. However, this was not considered an upset, as the 1st has always been a rather conservative district (especially in the Memphis suburbs). The district had only supported the official Democratic candidate for president once since 1956, when Jimmy Carter carried the district in 1976. Although Whitten had a nearly unbreakable hold on the district, it had been considered very likely that he would be succeeded by a Republican once he retired.
Wicker was reelected six times.
He was formerly a member of the House Appropriations Committee. He was also deputy Republican whip.
In Congress, Wicker worked on issues related to medical research and on economic development for his home state. He advocated private-public partnerships to bring investment to rural areas. Wicker also worked for veterans' issues while serving as a member of the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Subcommittee.[6] In his final year as representative, Wicker topped the list in earmarks.[7]

At a press conference on December 31, 2007, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour appointed Wicker to fill the Senate seat vacated by Trent Lott on December 18, 2007.[8] He was sworn in by the clerk of the U.S. Senate just prior to that news conference.[9]
Wicker ran for the remainder of Lott's term in the November 2008 special election against Ronnie Musgrove, Barbour's predecessor as governor. He won the seat with 55% of the vote. Wicker's resignation from the House also triggered a May 13, 2008 special election to fill the vacancy in the House, which was won by Democratic Representative Travis Childers.
On September 16, 2010, President Barack Obama announced his intent to nominate Wicker as representative of the United States to the Sixty-fifth Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations.[10]
In the Senate, Wicker is a member of the Senate Republicans' whip team and has repeatedly introduced a bill to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. Wicker called the health care overhaul the "great fight for the rest of this term, maybe our lifetimes" and later introduced a bill to enable state officials to challenge the law. In the interest of protecting gun owners, he amended a fiscal 2010 transportation spending bill to allow Amtrak passengers to carry firearms and ammunition in checked baggage.[11]
Wicker has also worked with Democrats to protect Mississippi's interests. With Democratic Rep. Gene Taylor, he pushed amendments allowing purchasers of federal flood insurance to add wind coverage to their policies, helpful to a hurricane-prone state. And as a member of the so-called Helsinki Commission monitoring human rights and other issues, Wicker worked closely with Maryland Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin to push into law in late 2012 a bill imposing tough penalties on Russians accused of violating human rights. The measure led Russian President Vladimir Putin to announce a subsequent ban on U.S. adoptions of Russian-born children. [12]
Poisoning attempt[edit]
On April 16, 2013, a letter addressed to Senator Wicker tested positive for the poison ricin.[13] The letter was detected by postal officials and law enforcement and was prevented from reaching the Capitol.[14] The letter was tested three times, with each test confirming the presence of ricin.[14]
In July 2013, Senator Wicker proposed that the Senate meet to discuss a controversial change to filibuster rules The Senate held the private meeting in the Old Senate chamber to discuss Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's threat of the so-called "nuclear option", which would change the rules for Senate votes on President Obama's executive branch nominees. Wicker said he hoped the chamber's bipartisan past could serve as an inspiration for the debate about the nuclear option. "I think there are concessions that can be made on both sides," he said. "And then I would just hope that, institutionally, we can get away from this mindset."[15]

When do you know you've had enough to drink?
Maybe it's when the urinal cake in the men's room of your favorite watering hole starts commenting on your marksmanship.
That's the premise behind an experimental sober driving initiative taking place in Colorado, following a debut in Michigan last year.
During the Labor Day weekend, the men's rooms in 15 Colorado bars were equipped with motion-activated "interactive urinal communicators," or IUCs, all of them bearing the logo of the Colorado Department of Transportation's "Heat Is On" anti-drunk-driving campaign.
Once contact is made with the IUC, a jaunty male voice similar that of a DJ on a morning drive radio show chimes in with some play-by-play commentary.
"Keep a constant stream on this urinal cake and let's see how drunk you are," the cheery IUC voice says, upon "activation."
While those remarks are bound to cause some startled bar patrons to send misdirected fire to the bathroom floor, the IUC dude proceeds to deliver a critique to those still making contact with the talking cake.
"Winner!" the cake shouts to the apparently unimpaired marksmen taking part in the experiment. "Make sure you keep winning and get home safe!"

March 13, 2013 - Meteorologist Mark Elliot explains the science behind sublimation which is nature's way of snow removal. It has to do with snow turning from a solid directly to a gas, bypassing the liquid stage, and not helping out dry conditions during a drought.

Thanks for the extra Brad! Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a Founder's snifter.
A: Pours a clear solid orange color with a little off white head that quickly recedes into a slight bubbly film. I'm very surprised how light colored the brew is as I was expecting a darker color.
S: Big cracker malts right off the nose, this is the maltiest amber ale I've ever smelled. Slight caramel sugars come off as well with a light fruity note.
T: A little hoppy forefront with a very big malt middle. A mix of bread dough and light cracker. There are also some semi-sweet fruity esters in the mix as well.
M: Medium to light bodied with a semi-crisp mouthfeel. Leaves a nice little bitterness on the palate, but it's short lived.
O: The was a very malty amber ale, but it was still a pretty good. Refreshing, just like the other SA brews.

12 oz bottle dated 10-17-13
A: Side pour into a beer mug. Creamy off-white head 1 inch thick. Quickly receding. Sticky lacing. Good carbonation. Bubble sizes from foam to 1/16" of an inch. Brown amber in color.
S: Not very strong. Pale malt base, citrus from hops, a bit of bitterness.
T: Very much like the nose. A bit more hoppy bitterness than in smell. Not very complex.
M: Rather light and crisp and refreshing.
O: Not a very complex beer. Certainly very drinkable and nothing is really off with this beer. Good as a gateway beer for a person new to craft brew.

12 oz bottle poured into a 3 Floyds pint glass
A- almost 1 fingers worth of white bubbly head, dissipates quickly. Allot of bubbles coming up from the bottom. Clear, golden brown/orange color.
S- Not much going on in the aroma. Big malt presence, slight hops, slight sweetness, but pretty bland.
T- Taste is very similar, the hops are a little more present in the taste, but very plain overall.
M- Light mouthfeel, clean finish, refreshing.
O- Not terrible, but nothing special. Would be refreshing in the summer, but does not quite hit the spot in this -6 degree weather.

How to easily share Android apps with friends and family
When friends or family members get a new Android phone, you may want them to enjoy some of the same apps that you do. Alternatively, a friend may ask you about a specific app that you use, and then have an issue locating it in the Android Market. The reason for this is because the actual file name that the app uses could be different from the app's display name on your phone. Follow these quick steps for sharing apps with friends and family from your phone, or vice versa:

The Sources and Detectors Group conducts research on the characterization of lasers, detectors, and related components. Principally through measurement services and innovation, the group provides the optoelectronics industry with traceability to national standards. Activities of the group are currently carried out in three project areas: Fiber Sources and Applications, Laser Radiometry, and High Speed Measurements. Members of the Fiber Sources and Applications Project use frequency combs working at optical telecommunications wavelengths to develop measurement technology for a growing list of applications. Project physicists have transmitted signals from next-generation optical atomic clocks across hundreds of kilometers and have demonstrated how pairs of combs can increase by a factor of one hundred the speed of infrared spectroscopy for chemical analysis, while also enhancing sensitivity. Frequency combs also promise to provide extremely accurate distance measurements and to assess the quality of high-speed telecommunications signals with unprecedented precision. Research in the Laser Radiometry Project is concerned with measuring laser, detector, and component properties such as laser power, laser beam profile, detector spectral responsivity, detector linearity and the attenuation of transmission components. To calibrate detectors and instruments used to measure the power or energy produced by a laser, the project has developed a family of standards that allow the accurate comparison of absorbed optical power to dissipated electrical power. Together, these standards permit calibrations at power levels from nanowatts to hundreds of kilowatts and energy levels from femtojoules to megajoules. Wavelength ranges include the visible through the near infrared, and selected wavelengths in the ultraviolet and mid infrared. For more information, see the Measurement Services section of this site. Instruments designed to receive power either in collimated beams or through optical fibers can be accommodated. The High-Speed Measurements Project focuses on laser and detector temporal properties, such as detector and receiver frequency response and laser and optical amplifier noise. Project scientists calibrate photodiodes that can be used as electrical pulse generators. Electronics manufacturers use these NIST photodiodes to help tune oscilloscopes and other high-speed test equipment, which in turn tune commercial communications hardware. Project scientists are also developing metrology to characterize the quality of light signals pulsing through optical fiber, which will be vital to for future networks with all-optical switching equipment. The end result is better, faster, more robust hardware for current and next-generation fiber-optic networks. Programs/Projects
Laser Radiometry—Accurate characterization of optoelectronic equipment is important to applications such as optical telecommunications, medical devices, materials processing, photolithography, as well as laser … High-Speed Measurements—Today's economy relies on high-speed communications that ride fiber-optic networks, and PML physicists play a crucial role in providing the means to test the equipment on which these communications … Fiber Sources and Applications —Optical frequency combs convert a laser source containing a single frequency of light into pulses that include thousands of frequencies. This project aims to develop the technology for a growing … Other Activities in the Biophysics Group—The Biophysics Group establishes the optical measurement science, modeling, and simulation tools to enable the characterization and control of biological molecules themselves and their interactions … Nano-biophotonics for molecular imaging—Biophotonics is at the intersection of photonics and biology where light is used to image, detect, and manipulate biological materials. This project addresses several factors that are critical for … Biophysics of Model Membranes—Synthetic cell membrane constructs allow the simplification and complete control of a more complicated cellular system, as well as the incorporation of selected elements under physiological … State-resolved Biomolecular Spectroscopies—Sensitive and fully state resolved spectroscopic methods in the terahertz (THz) and ultraviolet (UV) regions are being developed to investigate the structure and dynamics of biomolecules including … |

How to Eat Healthy on a Budget
Avoid the 'Recession 15' with these tips
You may have heard of the "Freshman 15," a reference to the amount of weight some students seem to gain during their first year of college. But what about the "Recession 15"? That's right. If we're not careful, thinner paychecks could lead to heftier waistlines. But you can eat healthy on a budget.
• Don't buy what you don't need. Take stock of your cabinets before leaving the house. Otherwise, you could end up with, say, four jars of mayonnaise! Countless studies have shown that making a grocery list ahead of time is the best way to avoid overshopping, overspending, and ultimately, overeating. The more organized you are about shopping for groceries, the fewer trips you will make to the supermarket (and the more you'll save on gas, too). Arrange your shopping list according to the layout of the store to avoid backtracking. Save this list on your computer, print out a copy early in the week, and circle the foods you need as the week unfolds. Family members can easily indicate their favorites, too.
• Consider grocery shopping online. You'll be more inclined to buy only what you need—not all of the "extras" that beckon from store shelves. These services, if available in your home town, also provide lists that include prepared foods, as well as make-your-own personalized lists that you can store for quick reference and future use. The beauty of this type of shopping is that you can coordinate your shopping list with special sales of the week.
• Don't overlook large containers. While a jar or a box of something might seem to cost more than you'd otherwise like to spend, pay attention to how many servings you can get out of that one container. Buying oatmeal, cereal, or nuts in bulk may seem pricey at the time, but those items will probably last a while.
• Cut coupons and search circulars for sales and specials. And don't forget to check your grocery receipt—you can sometimes find coupons on the back. If you have access to a computer, check online for coupons. Just visit your favorite supermarket's website or search for the products you use. A manufacturer's Web address is often listed on the product label.
• Buy store brands and use grocery store loyalty cards, which offer in-store discounts to cardholders. Both may lead to savings.
• Never shop when hungry. Although you've probably heard this a million times … it bears repeating. Empty stomachs could lead to empty pockets, as hunger impairs rational food decision-making skills.
• Rethink your relationship with convenience foods. Convenience foods may save you time, but they aren't necessarily wallet-friendly. Microwaving a bowl of regular oatmeal rather than pouring hot water over a pre-measured package adds only a few minutes. You're likely to save by cutting fruits and veggies yourself instead of purchasing pre-cut types. (But if you'll eat the pre-cut more readily, try to make room for them in your budget. It is a true waste if you wind up tossing out whole fruits and veggies instead of tossing them in a salad because you didn't have time to prepare them.)
• Invest in staple foods and stock up on canned goods and non-perishables when they're on sale. Buying in bulk can also lead to savings. But be sure to do the math to ensure that you actually do save by buying a larger package. If an item is on sale, the cost of the larger size might eclipse the price of two of the smaller sizes.
• Remember to check expiration dates. Select items that will have longevity in your fridge or pantry to avoid squandering money on foods that will quickly go to waste. This could also save you time, as you won't have to go food shopping as frequently.
• Plan your menus around sale items, especially more expensive purchases, such as meat.
What's inside the box will go inside you, so don't forget to also read food labels to see what you're really buying. The key is learning which foods are the healthiest to shop for, finding them on sale, and then buying extra. Your wallet, and health, will thank you.

Don't be afraid to send stuff in (I don't want to have to make stuff up!) Heck, I promise that I'll even answer them all... I'm like an Equal Opportunity Employer.
There's tons of things to talk about at this point in the season: The Wolves roster, our awesome

games, what you like or don't like, nights out on the town, random crap... the possibilities are endless!

Wolves Updates 2/27 Part 2
People make mistakes. I think every human being can relate to this as no one is perfect. But, if lawmakers think any professional athlete would be so stupid so as to begin a HGH or steroid program right now, they are grossly misguided. Professional athletes do watch CNN, CSpan, FoxNews, etc. We do see the serious legal situations that many professional athletes of various sports are dealing with due to alleged drug use. Why would any pro-athlete take that risk today? Even in the NBA where steroids is pretty much a non-issue, I can guarantee that pretty much every player would run out of a room if HGH ever came up as an offer. The NBA has implemted a beefed up drug testing program as a league for the future as of two years ago.
Wolves Win As Jazz Sing the Blues
Early Sunday evening, the Timberwolves went into the fourth quarter with a Western Conference powerhouse equipped with one of the league's pimpy point guards and a staff of deadly shooters tied at 74-74. The Wolves scored 12 and gave up 28.
Moderately late on Tuesday evening, the Timberwolves went into the fourth quarter with another Western Conference powerhouse equipped with one of the league's pimpy point guards, only this one can also score, and a brigade of inside and outside scorers. Deja vu? No, you'll have to save that for that crappy time-travel movie where Denzel mails it in. The Wolves buckled down in the fourth, scored from all angles, repelled Jazz runs, and came away with a well-deserved 111-100 victory.
I haven't read or seen any articles, recaps or highlight packages of tonights game, but I really hope ESPN and the other national outlets tell this game like it is:
The Jazz did not lose because they beat themselves, the Jazz lost because the Minnesota Timberwolves played a great game.
<-- Korver cowers in fear, considers return to That 70's Show after McCants yells at him. (NBAE/Getty Images)
As a matter of fact, this might be the best game I've seen in Target Center this season. The two Phoenix wins were more fun and Jefferson had those performances where he gets blasted by gamma rays and turns into the Incredible Hulk, but the win tonight was a total team effort with consistent play and very solid decision making for the most part. On top of that, the Utah Jazz played well tonight. I think the Jazz can be seriously proud of the game they played, they just got beat. Look at this box score. Five Wolves in double digits, four of them over 20 points! If you bet me a reasonable sum (in my gambling view that's anything up to $1,000 for something like I'm about to present) that at a Timberwolves home game this season we would have four 20 point scorers in one game, I would have taken your bet...well, if I could take your bet. Which I can't, because it's not legal. Nevermind.
It's not just that they scored 20 points each, either. Of the 20 point scorers, would you guess that Jefferson had the lowest shooting percentage tonight? The people who are paid to make open shots on this team made them. Here's the other interesting piece here, the Jazz shot a better percentage from the field (46.4% to 43.2%), the free throw line (83.3% to 71.8%) and the 3-point line (46.2% to 71.8%). The Jazz also had more assists (26 to 18). So how did the Wolves overcome this? They created 24 turnovers (11 more than the Wolves had) and turned that into 19 extra shot attempts and, ultimately, six more field goals.
But it was refreshing to get a superb fourth quarter out of this squad. My seats are in the lower corner and we had the Jazz coming in our direction in the second half. The Wolves had started to build a semi-comfortable lead towareds the end and then the Jazz ran three two-guard screens down low for three easy layups and suddenly the lead had vanished and the Wolves chances to win seemed as solid as a sub-prime loan. I remember leaning over to my buddy Ryan (I lean because there's always enough seats open in our row for buffer seats, thanks Glen!), who also came to the Dallas game, and said, "Here we go again, tied going into the fourth against a pimpy point guard." Well, crow is on the plate and I'm eating it.
Good win tonight for the Wolves.
I've got some other stuff related to game, the team in general, the Jazz and possible Western Conference regrets after the jump. Click read more and come along.

State Sen. Patty Ritchie's re-election campaign has revamped its yard-sign design.
This is no trifling matter — the hook, my friend, the hook, is that it speaks to a larger truth.
In 2010, when she was the St. Lawrence County Clerk, the Heuvelton Republican used a license plate that said "PATTY" to illustrate disgust with New York state government (as a cash-grabbing measure, David Paterson's administration proposed requiring New York drivers to get new, orange license plates. County clerks, including Mrs. Ritchie, successfully fought that effort Her yard sign was modeled after the previous license plate version).
But an incumbent doesn't really have the "throw the bums out" weapon at his or her disposal. So the Ritchie campaign is going with a new catchphrase: "She looks out for us," the new yard sign says.
Mrs. Ritchie is running for re-election against Democrat Amy Tresidder, an Oswego County legislator.

It's probably better to have an inkling up front, before you find yourself in a relationship where you're constantly …"Birds of a feather flock together." "Opposites attract." Both of these cliches can be true in relationships - which I guess renders neither of them true - and it's totally fascinating to me. It leaves the couple with mirrored interests/ aesthetics/ professions/ etc wondering how the hell that Hedge Fund Manager/Yoga Instructor couple down the street is in any way functional. (Maybe the sex is fiery-hot enough to make up for any differences outside the bedroom?)
But one of the biggest of all the opposite-factors may be political persuasion, especially in ultra-heated, politics-is-war 2012. Most of my fellow liberal friends swear they could never ever EVER date a Republican - but then, I've dated one before, and it didn't bother me at all. (We didn't ignore the differences/never talk about it, either: we had debates all the time. They just never felt like actual fights.)
Related: The Worst Thing to Say To Your Girlfriend In a Fight
So this led to me to ponder exactly what tendencies in a left-leaning person might determine whether they could handle being with a right-winger. Cause it's probably better to have an inkling up front, before you find yourself in a relationship where you're constantly red in the face (so to speak).
7 Ways To Tell If You Can Handle Dating a Republican (If You're a Democrat)
1 You find family Christmas debates more entertaining than infuriating.
2 When someone posts a fetus picture on facebook, you don't immediately defriend them.
3 You know Coulter and Malkin and Hasselbeck hold totally atrocious views, but you kind of…don't…care.
4 Ditto Aaron Shock/Scott Brown/Marco Rubio for women.
5 You're a converter who usually wins people over. If you've managed to get (bear with me while I generalize here) girlfriends into old Bond flicks, or boyfriends into Project Runway, this is you - so their opposition to same-sex marriage is only a matter of time.
Related: Super Shy? Here Are 5 Easy Ways To Boost Your Dating Confidence
6 When you start talking with a stranger, and they casually mention something about the wealthy already being overtaxed, you engage in a friendly discussion instead of clamming up and finding the first excuse to leave the room.
7 You like forbidden fruit generally - New Yorker with a Red Sox fan, SoCal with a NorCal. This is one of the ultimate forbidden fruits, right up there with Atheist with a Fundie.
Similarly, many conservatives (I'm thinking of particular friends here) wouldn't in their wildest DREAMS date a dreaded liberal. (The political ideology that is somehow now exclusively a pejorative in American politics, but that's a debate for another time…)
So: you, my Right-Winger friend, could probably handle dating a Dem if…
1 You're not attached to those incandescent bulbs, plastic water bottles, non-Fair trade coffee, and long showers - and don't mind keeping a reusable grocery bag with you at all times.
2 His unwillingness to fight back in an argument because he's a "pacifist" wouldn't drive you up the wall.
3 You didn't throw anything at the screen during Fahrenheit 9/11.
Related: 5 Surefire ways To Be Bad At Dating
4 You actually saw Fahrenheit 9/11.
5 Being in a Prius doesn't make you feel less manly.
6 You've never referred to Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, or Janeane Garofalo as "shrill."

The Plumas County Department of Public Works will be accepting bids until March 22 for the construction of a two-story addition to the mechanic's shop at its East Quincy maintenance yard.
The new addition will consist of an office on the first floor, parts storage on the second floor and the remodel of an existing restroom to meet current ADA standards, along with exterior walkways and parking space reconstruction.
The new 262-square-foot first-floor office will replace an existing smaller office inside the shop building, and the second-floor storage area will provide almost 300 square feet of needed parts storage.
Minor alterations to the existing steel shop building will be required to accommodate the new addition.
Public works personnel will perform some site work preparation, but a licensed contractor will complete the building-related work.
The department has budgeted $90,000 for this project and is hoping that bids will come in that will allow construction this year.

Guy Gets Stephen Hawking Tattoo
"Science fan" Jack Newton got Stephen Hawking's likeness tattooed on his leg in tribute to the world famous physicist (who is 66 and still rollin').
The tattoo - complete with a Monty Python line from the classic Life of Brian film 'He's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy' written underneath it - has already won two trophies at tattoo conventions.
Mr Newton said: "I read A Brief History of Time, but to be honest I didn't understand a word, but I respect the man and that's why I got his face tattooed on my leg.
Good looking, Jack, but check this tat out -- BADOW! -- Carl F***ing Sagan bitch!

Publication: Real Time Economics from the Wall Street Journal
11/12/2008 - Add it to the other depressing economic news: upward mobility has remained stagnant in the past two decades.A new report by Pew's Economic Mobility Project broke individuals up into five income brackets or quintiles and found that of those in the lowest bracket, half were still likely to be there 10 years later. It's a trend that held true for a group studied from 1984 to 1994 and reiterated itself in a group studied from 1994 to 2004.The report by Urban Institute's Gregory Acs and Seth Zimmerman, notes that "This finding is somewhat surprising given the changes in the economy in the 1980s and 1990s… Further, although it is promising news that, at least through 2004, mobility rates had not fallen, stagnant mobility rates may be a cause for concern in light of rising income inequality."Read the full post Report Shows Stagnant Upward Mobility in U.S. on the Wall Street Journal's Real Time Economics blog.

This product is very refreshing when used on my face. I use it mainly as a setting spray for my makeup and on days when I don't wear makeup, I use it to refresh my face. It is not a huge part of my daily regimen but for the price, I believe it is a good product. Be sure not to use too much underneath or on top of makeup or it could affect the appearance and make your makeup clumpy or separate. NOTE: The main reason I started using this product is because a famous, well-known and reliable makeup artist (Jacklyn Hill) mentioned it her blog and said she used it as a setting spray or a spray for throughout the day like I do.
This spray is an excellent product. I picked up my bottle at Nordstrom for $7usd.
The packaging is nothing remarkable just your standard spray bottle.
The product is fantastic and truly remarkable. I use this spray as a toner, refresher and for makeup setting. I carry it around in my Gianni Versace Couture handbag (a gift from my Valentine : D) and I pull it out a few times a day. I am already more than half way done with the bottle I bought a few weeks ago.
This spray does not leave a sticky or clammy feeling on my skin. It does not have a strong scent and it does not make my skin feel suffocated.
This spray DOES refresh, absorb quickly and leaves a nice well rested glow to my skin.
I will never be without this in my beauty arsenal. Never!
Love love love this toner! It's one of my cant live without products. I use this as a toner or refresher spray even over makeup for a soft dewy glow. This toner always calms down my skin if its pink and irritated. My favorite!
A bottle of goodness for setting makeup and smoothing/ naturalising the finish of any foundation or powder.
The scent is quite flowery and may be refreshing for some. Personally I find it a bit overpowering for the nose and stinging for my eyes.
Recommended for those with insensitive eyes and noses.
This is a light, fragrant spray that refreshes throughout the day. What I love the most is the spritzer, which dispenses just the right amount of product in an even way. I do not think this spray actually performs a function, but rather just serves to refresh your makeup or your skin throughout the day. That being said, I think this is one of the greatest spritzes I have ever bought.

I'm in LOVE with this spray!
It feels so nice on the skin and is a great way to freshen up your makeup while also giving your skin the nourishment it needs, also great as a toner!
UPDATE I like using this over my makeup to freshen it up during the day,
but if you are prone to break outs DO NOT use this on your bare skin, this gave me a combo of little tiny bumps around my chin and huge zits on my cheeks and my skin was clear before I used this, also a friend of mine said she has tried rosewater on her skin as well and it broke her out with little tiny bumps everywhere so if you're acne prone maybe this product isn't the best idea.
I've had this product for what seems liek a year and I do use it sparingly. I primarily use it for spritzing on my face prior to makeup, after makeup application, and keep it on me (the bottle is small enough to be portable for the most part) to spary on my face when my makeup looking a little stressed.
I live in Central FL, always at theme parks, always in the dead heat, and I will tote this to Disney in a small bag with me almost 90% of the time. If my makeup starts to act up, I just spray some of this and I instantly look refreshed. (Keep in mind, my Disney makeup is pretty HEAVY. Foundation, blush, bronzer, highlighter, the whole she-bang). I can't go without this product. I've used other spray toners that have very chemical-smells that are very harsh, but this is so soft and romantic smelling with the rosewater.

Does AppleTV/Roku2/Sony media player/anything else have the ability to share its connection to my receiver via ethernet? I'm having a very hard time getting a receiver that isn't near my router connected to the internet via ethernet cable.

You can connect a switch to a nearby Ethernet cable and turn it into a number of ports.
Small Gigabit switches can be had for under $15 on Amazon.
