The bad: Effects render poorly; no DivX support; MPEG-4 requires a separate plug-in that costs $29.99.

very Intuitive
by beullar on June 22, 2005
Pros: Intuitive, easy navigation, fast, stable, excellent Video Filtering
Cons: insufficient audio tools, .VSP files not compatible with Movie factory 4

Summary: I try all new video editing and DVD Authoring software as soon as it is released. So far Video Studio 9 has performed better than any comparable software on the market. Roxio 7.5 is good and has better integration and audio editing, but its VideoWave and DVD authoring programs are not as capable as Uleads. Pinnacle is a buggy mess that has NEVER produced a complete project without multiple crashes or freezes, Cyberlink is ok for basic editing and Adobe Premiere Elements is counter-intuitive and much more difficult to navigate. Video Explosion V 1.5 is one of the better programs (identical to Sony's Vegas) but needs to be updated.
With that said, Ulead's VS 9 has a very intuitive interface with loads of transitions and video filters. All effects and filters are editable to suite your project. I have worked with it for about 3 weeks now and produced a number of projects (slideshows and videos) and found it to perform almost flawlessly. My only complaint is that it needs much better audio editing tools. Something that will allow it to blend or splice sound tracks would be nice. Every project produced has worked flawlessly. Render times for a 20 minute video on my machine were about 20 minutes and that was after adding multiple filters and transitions with a motion menu. (My system is a P IV 3.2 Mhz, 1 Gig Kingston Hyper X mem, RAID 0 array with 2 x 10,000 RPM Raptor 36 Gig HDs and a 200 Gig ATA 133, 7200 RPM Hd for video storage and working and ATI 9800 PRO AIW 128 Mb video card).
Overall, I found this to be the best program for the hobbyist or beginner. At least download the free version and compare it to the others.
A word of advice. This program will NOT burn a disc if you have Roxio on your system. Roxio must be removed or you will not be able to burn a disc. Also, if you purchase Ulead Movie Factory 4, be advised that it will not import the Ulead VS 9 .VSP files. You will have to render any project to an mpg file then import it to MF 4. This limitation is only with VS 9 VSP files and not with previous versions of VS. Ulead is fixing this problem

Well featured & user friendly!
by mistert on August 26, 2005
Pros: Simple user-interface anyone can master. High-quality, easy to use effects including 3D transitions, masks, p-i-p, animated titles, multi-track audio /video. Lots of extra content.. Never crashes!
Cons: Expensive, does not support DivX, MPEG-4 plugin costs an additional $30.

Summary: Believe it or not, I auditioned half a dozen consumer level video editing programs (Pinnacle, Magix, Intervideo, ArcSoft, Roxio, Ulead) before deciding to go with Ulead VideoStudio 9. Although all of these applications share a good deal of common ground, each has it's own unique features (and in some cases, serious issues). In the end it comes down to selecting a product that has the best "overall" fit versus your needs. Of all the editing programs I demo'd, VideoStudio 9 seems to offer the best balance of user simplicity and professional style features. The "multi-cut" editing interface (used for manually cutting a long segment of video footage into individual clips) is by far the best of any program I tested. This is a very critical feature if you plan on removing commercials from TV show recordings or editing lengthy wedding/event footage. Additionally, UVS9 is built around a solid foundation that (unlike many similar programs) is nearly crash proof. Although the preview mode can be a bit choppy (especially if 3D transitions are used), the final output to file or disc is excellent. If you plan on creating videos for for your portable player or Sony PSP you'll have to fork out an additional $30 for the optional (download) MPEG-4 output plugin.
Before deciding to spend your $100 on **any** editing program I definitely recommend doing some homework. At the very least, read user reviews at CNET and amazon to get a feel for the general performance of each application. You'll be surprised to learn that some of the best known applications are riddled with crashing problems, a/v sync issues, and overly complicated procedures which more or less negate whatever "great" features are offered. Also, choose a program that has a active on-line user forum. No matter what program you choose you'll probably have some questions and relying on the developer's email tech-support for fast answers will be a frustrating experience.

The Best and Easiest Video Editor for the price
by elkponc on August 15, 2005
Pros: Easy steps through whole process, stable, no crashes
Cons: People totally new to editing will take time to learn program.

Summary: I have used VideoStudio 5 (unstable) and 8 (slower rendering), Windows Movie Maker (few features), Pinnacle Studio 9. This beats them all. There is a lot to like about PS 9, but it crashed often on rendering and burning discs. VideoStudio 9 proved to be stable. I haven't even begun to use all of it's features, especially the automated ones. Adding audio smart sound trax works great, as they automatically fit themeselves to the video. Audio "rubberbanding" (dragging a line to increase or decrease volume levels) is intuitive and very useful. Haven't yet used the "blue screen" effects, but look forward to fun effects with this feture. Pan and scan on photos works easily and ads motion to static pics. I highly recommend this product. Reviewers that give it lower ratings simply for not working with their particular hardware have to realize this is often the fault of the the hardware manufacturer or drivers. I only wish they had more dvd menu templates, or user created ones were downloadable.

The best BALANCED video editing program.
by rhungent on January 23, 2006
Pros: Intuitive controls. Stable platform. Large preview screen. Animated Text.
Cons: would like to be able to simply place transition in the front/end.
Summary: I have spent several hours over 3 weeks reviewing several demos of Sony Vegas, Studio-9+, Ulead VS9, PowerDirector, ProShow producer, and Adobe Elements. Each has its pros/cons, but you ...
Summary: I have spent several hours over 3 weeks reviewing several demos of Sony Vegas, Studio-9+, Ulead VS9, PowerDirector, ProShow producer, and Adobe Elements. Each has its pros/cons, but you will find that VS9 has the most balanced, easy to use, functional and stable program available.
My purpose is to edit 4:3 and 16:9 home videos using a 3chip Sony PC-1000 and get them on DVD; with the addition of slide shows from the photos taken on my 5MB Cannon camera. I wanted the best of both worlds... I needed a simply, easy to use program that allowed me to do professional transitions/fades with "Hollywood text". Videos would need slowly fading or moving titles/text. Stills required slow pan/zoom and music required easy to adjust fades to fit the slide show.
ProShow producer was purchased from a friend and "in his review" was the best slideshow producer, but it does NOT capture video and takes several minutes to load a short 1 min video file before allowing me to edit it. i.e. not good for home movies.
Sony Vegas was a very stable product allowing smooth fades. The problem was that it is too professional with no storyboard to get a global view of the project. The timeline was frustrating because the image and fades keep running into each other as you move things around. The ripple did not help with this. i.e. too professional with little room for error when editing.
Adobe elements was well liked in the editor and user reviews. It was reported as the best for professional editing. My problem was that there was no storyboard and the images on the timeline were tiny on my 17" monitor. The layout of the screen was adjustable, but it left most everything at your fingertips. As a beginner it was a mess of clutter. This is similar to my experience with Adobe Photoshop. Very powerful, but the learning curve is very steep. i.e. too complex for the above average consumer.
Cyberlink PowerDirector was great for the simple minded. Problem is that is leaves little room for adjustments. Pan/zoom of stills were Wizard automatic, but you could not adjust the way it pan/zoomed. It has both a timeline and storyboard. Because it was to restrictive, I did not spend much time in this. I found this program listed as the "gold" winner in a top-10-review dot com something, but I completely dissagree.
This top-10-review did recommend studio-9 as a "bronze" winner and Ulead SV9 as a "silver" winner. In my review, these are the top two products under $100 for DVD home moview and slide shows.
Studio-9 does not have pan/zoom, but studio-9+ does. Studio 10 is the latest version, but I have read that you should RUN from this because of its poor stability and known problems with crashing and freezing. Studio 10 was not available as a demo, likely because of all these serious issues. Nonetheless, 9+ was available as a demo. It has a preview 16:9 screen, but the screen is small in the upper right-hand corner. It has timeline as a three line storyboard to help you "see" the project better. Pan/zoom must be individually set. Setting pan/zoom is a guess, because it does not show you the original image, nor does it give you a numerical % zoom; so you just have to play with the clip to get it right. Video/audio fades were easy and you can put any transition at the beginning and end for a smooth transition. Numerous transition (standard and Hollywood) are available, but crossfades are the most clean without being too busy/cheasy. Also the transitions are not "motion" icons, so you either have to remember the effect or click on them to see what it really does. Titles are few, but you can put a transition in the beginning/end to give it some pizzaz. It does have audio filters, but the noise and wind filters were not very effective with my windy day at the park clip. DVD menus are a pain the micromanipulate. I found it cumbersome to mark every chapter and link every thumbnail. The smallest con is the capture screen; it shows a ugly/bulky camcorder...looks nothing like a my sleek PC-1000. Summary: Studio 9 Plus is a very good product, but I really wanter the latest software. Unfortunately all the abysmal reviews scared me away from Pinnacle.
Finally, Ulead VS9...This was the best program for several reasons, but first the con. You cannot add a transition in the beginning or end of an image/clip; only between images. So the only way to fade the project in and out is to add a black "color image" and slip a transition in between so that it will fade to black, or any color you choose. The preview screen is wonderful, but when you edit in 16:9, it keep the monitor a 4:3 size. (this is a very small quirk).
The PROS... the preview monitor if medium size and sits right in the middle. No squinting to see you project/clip and it shows it in medium-resolution. You can also enlarge the monitor to fill 80% of your screen; the resolution is still very good (unlike Studio9+) and it has the play/pause/stop controls still on the screen (unlike Studio9+). This was a very thoughtful design. Timeline and Storyboard are interchangeable. The storyboard is only a single line, so it does not hold much images. (S9+has three, but they are almost too small to be useful). Pan and Zoom are easy to adjust. (almost as easy as Sony Vegas). It shows the entire image with a "start crop" and a "end crop". It also shows the position/size/%zoom as a numerical value as well. (no guessing)There is also a middle point if you want to move around the photo. (Vegas has indefinite middle points). Music fades were easy and completely adjustable. TEXT animation was great because you can fade in/out the text as well as zooming/moving text. This is a very simple but professional and elegent attribute of VS9.
Lastly, DVD menus are easy to create. You simply create a few video projects and slideshows, and add them to the DVD menu. That way you can have a birthday party, vacation and slideshow on the same main menu. Then you can select chapter points in each of these projects or have the program find them for you. You can opt to add an additional chapter (sub)menu for each of your projects. I found this to be simple as well as clean.
Simply put, VideoStudio 9 is the most RELIABLE, INTUITIVE, FLEXIBLE and PROFESSIONAL video-editing program under $100. My 3 week review is over and I finally purchased Ulead VideoStudio 9. The previous reviews were extremely helpful, but don't trust all the reviews you read. Download the demo and see for yourself, but don't waste you time like I did demo-ing every software. Just try it, then BUY IT.
Hope this was helpful.

Slow, Buggy, Poor Quality Video
by blackclawdog on August 21, 2005
Pros: Easy to use for small files (under 5 minutes)
Cons: Crashes often on large files, poor quality video output

Summary: This is an okay product for beginners and people that want to make short, little movies. Once you start getting into larger projects (over 5 minutes), it becomes very very slow, and crashes often. The DVD creation utility is laughable, especially when compared to other products available. You can only link to one project to put it on a DVD, as far as I can figure out. When you finally get down to burning a DVD, it seems that you have about a 1 in 3 chance of the program crashing somewhere in the middle of the DVD creation. The quality of the video is not spectacular (I use a 3 CCD camera that produces execllent color, but it looks very ordinary on the output of this software--but what should I expect for $100). Another annoyance is the fact that many of the titles, special effects, and menus required additional payment as "premium" content, a fact that is not really disclosed on the box, as far as I can see.
On the good side, the ChromaKey utility works very well, but not many users are going to spring for a green-screen to use it.

Summary: I came to use Uleads Video Studio 9 after becoming frustrated with Cyberlinks Power Director.
Video Studio was easy to learn and use. However, there were several features that I expected to see that wasn't there, such as correction for shaky video. I was also frustrated when trying to manually adjust the levels of audio tracks. When I needed the audio level on a music track lowered on a specific portion of the video, it was difficult and frustrating to wortk with.
I also found that the number and quality of transitions and effects were not as good as other programs in the same price range, such as Power Director.
Overall, a good program for beginners, but doesn't offer the look and feel of a more professional looking finished product.

Summary: I tried Windows movie maker but it can't read Quick Time from the digicam and won't burn to dvd. Tried Roxio 7.5, it crashed often. Read many reviews. Ulead seemed to be the best balance for stabiliy and ease of use compared to Pinnacle 9 and Premiere Elements 2. I used the 30 day trial version, made a 4gb compilation of 5 years of vacation camcorder and digicam clips. Didn't use many titles or special effects but found it to be very stable. I'll buy it if I need to do anymore video editing.

by drocco on August 5, 2005
Pros: A nice 30 day trial, allowing enough time to play with it.
Cons: Would not capture video from my handycam DCR-DVD301. This is a Sony flaw. I had to use Image Mixer 5 to capture. It is tough to find flaws at this point as this is day 18 of 30 day trial.
Summary: I will buy. I tried to play with Pinnacle, but found it less friendly. This could be due to my knowledge of Ulead's PictureShow 3. I wonder if there ...

Summary: First let me start by saying that I have used Pinnacle Studio since Version 6. Here is a run down:
Version 6 $80
Version 7 Upgrade ($80)
Version 8 Upgrade ($80)
Version 9 Upgrade ($80)
Misc add-ons ($50) (i.e., still picture panning)
Version 9 Plus ($50) (Includes Still Picture Panning)
I was just about to go to version 10. In all this time, I thought that I loved this program. It crashed all the time, films came out wrong, but overall – I still loved it, made great films with it, just taught me patience. Even upgraded my computer and software (operating system) just for it. I am really big into video editing, I have over 600G of Hard drive filled with AVI – and I do it semi pro. (I would be the first to admit that I still have a lot to learn) So let me go on…
Recently I have had some real problems, the videos were losing sound, just randomly, in the middle it will play for 3 seconds and then go a way. I always use Window Movie maker as a back to test my AVI's and it didn't have a problem. After a month of trying to get help from Pinnacle (again – they suck – I have gone through this in all my versions for one thing or another – but I don't know if any other company is better), I decided that the thing to do (as always) is upgrade. But I was tired of it, so I started researching, and reading, and researching, and reading. Let me start off by saying Thank You for Trial Versions!!! After all the reading and reviews, and more reading I wanted to try an other program – seeing that there were other people unhappy with Pinnacle too – made me feel better. The 3 I chose to try (and the ALL had trial versions) were:
Cyberlink PowerDirector
Ulead Video Studio 9
Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0
Adobe seemed the most promising, but guess what – won't work on my system. I read that but hoped it wasn't true, so downloaded the 100MB Trial, and yep – won't work. Even thought about upgrading my system for it, but decided (being not made of money) that I could not afford a $250 upgrade for a $100 program. In time I will have to upgrade anyway – so forget it. Thanks adobe! - NOT. (I have an AMD 2600)
Cyberlink was the one I was most hopeful about – It took me a half a day to realize I would rather stick with Pinnacle! There were not as many options, and not as intuitive, and some things were just too dang simple. And all their wizards made me feel like an idiot. Not to mention, the playback was crap, and the rendering was slow,) slower than Pinnacle – which I could not believe!) and the end product was crap too. After that I thought I was sticking with Pinnacle.
But what the hell, I will try Ulead. Yes Baby! What a program. It is simpler, but not stupid. It had every option Pinnacle had (and even the picture panning was fantastic!). It allows you to use smart sound technology, and filter out the ones you have with the ones you need to buy – none of the others did that – it was SUCH a pain – but Ulead – a simple snap! The Transitions were awesome (and even has a fade to black then next scene which Cyberlink didn't!) What else, the capturing, and importing were fast and flawless, and the rendering was incredible! I couldn't believe that I was banging my head the whole time with pinnacle. It even adjusted your screen (unlike Pinnacle that made it stay at 1280 x 1024). Everything I thought it couldn't do – I figured out how to in less than 5 min after looking for it. The only thing I didn't like was (minor) the lack of DVD menus – but I think that is because it was the downloadable trial. I don't know for sure. This had features I only dreamt of too! Quick DVD's fro DV – that is great those visiting guests - Burning only your audio, or EVEN ADDING TRACKS FROM A PREVIOUS BURNT DVD! – FREAKING AWESOME. I am purchasing this program, and never looking back. I could go on and on – but let me just end it with this:
Download the trials – and try it out for yourself. I believe that Cyberlink is good for fast editing, and Novices.
Adobe – No Idea.
Pinnacle – The Masochist.
Ulead – for me.
I hope that this helps some of you in your decision. – Good Luck!

Long road back for Valverde, Brocail
Astros relievers throw Wednesday as part of slow rehab
DENVER -- The process of rehabbing from an injury is often slow and tedious, and judging by what Jose Valverde and Doug Brocail have been doing lately, it's clear both have a long road ahead of them before they can think about pitching in a real game.
The two pitchers are working to keep their arms in shape without full use of their legs. In fact, they've been doing most of their throwing from their knees. Only recently have they been cleared to actually play catch while standing up.
"Valverde stood up and threw," manager Cecil Cooper said Wednesday. "Brocail can't stride, but he can stand still and throw. [The athletic trainers] told me earlier today when I got here that they were throwing today and they felt fine."
Valverde, who has been on the disabled list since April 27 with a strained right calf that eventually needed to be drained of fluid, isn't expected back for at least three weeks. That return date may be a little liberal, however.
Asked during the last homestand when he thought he might return, Brocail candidly said sometime around the All-Star break would be a realistic target.
So for now, it's all about keeping the arm as close to game-ready as possible.
"If they can stand up, then you don't have to worry about them having to build back up," Cooper said. "There's a lot of stuff that has to go into that. That's what we're hoping."

Our Mission
Mission Statement
The community of All Saints Regional Catholic School, based on Christ's covenant with the world, inspires students to realize their full potential as followers of Jesus. Our purpose is to educate children, each of whom is endowed by our Creator with their own unique gifts and talents, by encouraging them to become spirit-filled, lifelong learners who bring life to the gospel through service to others.
Our mission is to empower our students to meet the demands and challenges of a rapidly changing and morally complex world. Extra curricular activities and Christian service programs compliment the academic and spiritual life of the school community. Emphasis is placed on each student's ability to develop into an intellectually mature and responsible young person of faith, vision and purpose who continues to grow as an adult in relationship with our world, our Church, and our God.

Welcome Letter from Student Council Presidents
Hello everyone, and Welcome to All Saints! All Saints is our home away from home. I am Julia Kelly and this is Gabby Etzel. Both of us are this year's Student Council Co-Presidents. We would like to take a moment to tell you about All Saints, what it means to us, and why you should seriously consider sending your children here to All Saints.
We would like to start by saying thank you, to you the parents, for considering a Catholic education for your child. All Saints enhances each child's academic ability, as well as assisting in the development of a child's faith and relationship with God. The teachers and staff provide each student with morals, a direction to help choose good and values. We are also taught to treat those around us with respect.
One of the many special things about our ASRCS community is the friendly welcoming environment that surrounds each student. I know that when I am having a bad day, the sincere smiles and genuine caring from the students and teachers help me to get through the day and even turn my day around. We, the All Saints Family, extend a helping hand to one another and also to our community. The Student Council alone helps many people and organizations that are in need. The teachers and staff teach us that we need to look and step outside of ourselves and help those that are in need. This is a life long lesson that I believe is truly unique to a Catholic Education.
Another great factor about our school, is that academically, All Saints excels. One of my fellow Eighth grader's, Morgan McLeod, explains that "He likes All Saints because the teachers treat everyone as if they are in honors' classes." We compete in national spelling bees, geography bees, and we even have academic enhancement teams. These teams, known as E-cybermission teams, Lexus, and Christopher Columbus are designed for students to use problem solving skills, technology, math and science in solving real life problems in our community.
As well as, the welcoming environment, academic excellence, and being able to call upon God at any moment, All Saints also provides students with opportunities to be creative and inquisitive.
All Saints has a top notch fine and performing arts program. Every year the students put on two performances; the Christmas show and the Spring Musical. This years spring musical is Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. I have always been a part of the cast of all of the performances. This year I am the fairy godmother in Cinderella and Flora the Fairy in Sleeping Beauty. These performances have helped me in so many ways. Most importantly they have helped me to become more confident. Confidence is key in helping to build any child's self esteem, and here at ASRCS it is done all the time.
In addition to the Fine Arts program, we also have an exciting sports program, featuring Golf and Archery as the newest programs being offered. Opportunities like these provide the children with new friendships and encourage them to be active.
We realize the financial sacrifice that all of you make for your children to be able to attend All Saints. We would like to reassure you that the investment you may make here is wise and everlasting.
Who we become and the success that awaits us is due to our family, but also in a special way, All Saints. I believe we stand out from any other school, not only because of academics but because of the character that is created in each of us.
We are All Saints, the best kept secret in Southern Ocean County!
Thank you and God Bless!

Thousands of Lee County parents are about to find out where their child will go to school next year. The school district just finished the lottery Thursday.
Officials we spoke with say parents who registered online will find out Saturday. Those who applied in the office will find out next week by mail.
"Eighty-two percent of people got their first choice," said Lee County School Student Assignment Director Leila Muvdi.
She says that figure is about the same as last year.
"If I get one through five, which they're all great schools, I'll be happy. But of course everybody wants their top choice," said parent Jennifer Ross.
She and other parents, like Jennifer Eigner, are also hoping for their first choice.
"It would be stressful if my son got a school different from my older son. I would probably be very upset and very disappointed," Eigner said. And there's good news for parents who registered a younger sibling.
"If you apply during the first enrollment period and you have siblings already attending that school your 99-9 percent guaranteed going to get their school," Muvdi said.
"You want the reassurance as a parent that your next child is going to go to the same school you already have a child in," said Eigner.
And if you don't get your first choice, district officials say your child will be on waiting list until the 15 days after school starts.
"The waiting list will work for most of them," Muvdi said.
More kindergartners have been registered so far this year - compared to last year.
The most recent batch recorded more than 4,200 kindergartners. Last year, about 4,100 were registered by this time.
The second batch period to register is going on now until the last day of school.

TEAMS: Miami Dolphins
When Chad Johnson signed with the Dolphins back in June, a lot of folks gagged that Stephen Ross was only doing it to further bolster the spectacle that is the Miami Dolphins on "Hard Knocks". That very well may have been the case, but it worked. Chad stole the show in the first episode. He was in turns ridiculous, profane, relatable and, at one point, actually kind of affecting. Joe Philbin might end up being a decent coach in the game. To his credit, he doesn't seem come across as a screaming hard case like a lot of head coaches would. Still, he's no Rex Ryan, even if that's a high bar to set for entertainment. As usual, "Hard Knocks" gloms onto a few borderline roster players as sidebar storylines. The one grabbing the most screen time in episode one was Les Brown, a tight end who hasn't played football since high school. He got an invite to camp because he ran a 4.3 in a tryout, but now coaches have discovered he can't run block to save his life, or, more appropriately, the...

MERIDIAN — A first-time 4A champion will be crowned Saturday night at the Ford Idaho Center.
Skyview and Twin Falls - both seeking their first girls basketball state title - will meet at 6 p.m. in the championship game.
"Somebody is going to get a banner," Skyview coach Cindy Pasta said.
The senior-heavy teams - Skyview has five seniors, Twin Falls has seven - advanced to the final with solid victories in Friday's semifinals at Mountain View High.
With its 15-point lead cut to a mere three points, and its star post player on the bench with four fouls, Skyview needed a big play from senior guard Bailey Pasta.
She delivered.
Pasta's steal and layup with six minutes to play in the fourth quarter steadied the Hawks, who pulled away for a 60-50 victory.
"It was really big that Bailey recognized she needed to step up and she needed to make a change and she did it. And it helped calm us," Skyview coach and Bailey's mom Cindy Pasta said. "It helped us get back in our rhythm."
As did getting post player Leah Bonner back in the game. She was limited to 16 minutes, 37 seconds of game time by fouls. But she scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Skyview (24-1).
"Leah is just a complete presence on the court," Bailey Pasta said. "She brought it. It was awesome to have her back in there for the last couple minutes."
Bonner's rebound and putback off a missed free throw pushed the Skyview lead to 50-41. She and Pasta combined to score nine of the Hawks' final 12 points. Pasta made 7-of-8 free throws in the final 3:23.
Pocatello (14-11) hung tough behind the record-tying 3-point shooting of senior guard Paige Durrant. She tied her own state tournament record with seven 3-pointers. She made 7-of-14 3-point attempts and scored a game-high 24 points.
The first time senior Kaitlyn Merritt and many of her Twin Falls teammates thought about winning the state championship came in the fifth grade when they started playing AAU basketball together.
Merritt and the senior-led Bruins are finally getting that chance. Merritt scored a game-high 17 points and grabbed a game-high five rebounds against Middleton.
"We can't settle for second," said Merritt, one of seven seniors on the Bruins' team. "It's been a goal of ours since we were way little."
Twin Falls (23-2) has never won a state title in girls basketball. Last season, the Bruins ended Middleton's 72-game winning streak in the first round of the state tournament. But they couldn't sustain the success, losing their next two games.
In Thursday's opener, Twin Falls needed a banked 3-pointer from Macy Urrutia as time expired to edge Nampa. There would be no first-round hangover this time.
"We learned. The girls learned," coach Nancy Jones said.
The Bruins didn't need Thursday's heroics against Middleton (17-8). They carved the Vikings' defense for 32 first-half points on 57.9 percent shooting from the field. And Twin Falls' defense flummoxed Middleton, collapsing as many as four defenders on star post D'Rae Tullock.
"We didn't do a very good job of passing out of the double team or making plays available for her to pass," Middleton coach Andy Jones said. " We had no answer for their offense."
Middleton senior post Allison Cossins suffered a right knee injury late in the first quarter, ending her game. The Vikings lost senior guard Parker Curtis to a knee injury in the district championship game.
Tullock led Middleton with 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting. The rest of the Vikings shot 5-for-22.
Nampa's second game in the tournament came down to the fourth quarter. This time, the Bulldogs came out on top. Nampa outscored Century 14-5 in the final quarter. The victory came one day after the Bulldogs suffered a last-second loss to Twin Falls on a banked 3-pointer at the buzzer. Nampa struggled from the line in the opener, but made 10-of-18 in the second half Friday.
Burley beat Sandpoint behind 16 points and eight rebounds from Chelsee Baker.
Sandpoint got 17 points from Madison Schoening and Hailey Olin, but it wasn't enough to stop Burley, which got scoring from seven players.

Michael Capuano on Families & Children
Democratic Representative (MA-8)
The Christian Coalition was founded in 1989 by Dr. Pat Robertson to give Christians a voice in government. We represent millions of people of faith and enable them to have a strong, unified voice in the conversation we call democracy.
Introduction by co-sponsor Sen. Kay Hagan (D,NC):
We have a serious responsibility to ensure that women and families are protected. The rates of violence and abuse in our country are astounding and totally unacceptable: domestic violence affects more than 12 million people each year. In my home state, 73 women and children are killed on average every year because of domestic violence.
Since 1994, the STOP Program has provided grants for services, training, officers, and prosecutors, and has transformed our criminal justice system and victim support services. And this bill includes the bipartisan SAFER Act, which helps fund audits of untested DNA evidence and reduces this backlog of rape kits. I ask you: What other victims in America have to identify the attacker before authorities will take action? None.Introduction by Sen. Chuck Grassley(R,IA):
I urge my Republican colleagues, as I will do, to support the motion to proceed. There has long been bipartisan support for the Violence Against Women Act. Too many women are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence. There is overwhelming bipartisan support for 98% of what is contained in S. 47. [Since our negative vote last session], controversial provisions have been removed. The key stumbling block to enacting a bill at this time is the provision concerning Indian tribal courts. Negotiations are continuing, and compromises would allow the bill to pass with overwhelming bipartisan support. Introduction by Sen. Pat Leahy (D,VT):
Our bill will allow services to get to those in the LGBT community who have had trouble accessing services in the past. The rates of domestic and sexual violence in these communities are equal to or greater than those of the general population. We also have key improvements for immigrant victims of domestic and sexual violence.
A bill to amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act and the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to increase the number of children eligible for free school meals, with a phased-in transition period. Expands eligibility for free meals under the school lunch and breakfast programs to children whose family income falls at or below 185% of the federal poverty guidelines.
Sen. FRANKEN: In a country as wealthy as ours, it is shameful to let any child go hungry. That is why today, Senator Murkowski and I are introducing the Expand School Meals Act. By eliminating the reduced price meals category and replacing it with the free meal program, this legislation will ensure that low-income children are not denied nutritious food during the school day if their family can't afford to pay for it.
It is important to remember that this will improve student readiness for school. Parents have long known, and recent studies confirm, that children cannot learn on empty stomachs. Hungry children perform worse on achievement tests, have trouble concentrating, and are more likely to act out in school.
There are 3.1 million low-income children across the Nation eligible for reduced-price school meals. Currently, these families must pay 40 cents for each lunch and 30 cents for each breakfast their children eat at school. While this may not sound like a lot of money to members of Congress, to a family that is barely scraping by, especially in today's economy, the cost can be prohibitive.
I would like to conclude by commending my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their leadership in advocating for the extension of free school meals to children of the working poor. These efforts began with Senator Elizabeth Dole, who in 2003 introduced a bill that would have also phased out the reduced price meals category.

It's not that the Giants haven't appreciated everything Stevie Brown has done in Kenny Phillips' absence. It's just that the defense hasn't been right without Phillips.
He's expected to return to the lineup after the bye in Week 12, and the Giants believe having him on the field the final six games of the season could be exactly what their struggling defense needs. Plus, given the success the Giants have had previously with Phillips, Antrel Rolle and Deon Grant on the field, there's no reason to think the Giants' "Big Nickel" package can't be revived in a new form with Grant gone and Brown taking his place.
Where the Giants have missed Phillips, who has been out with an MCL sprain for six games, has been covering tight ends. Recently, Cowboys TE Jason Witten and Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham have done damage up the seam against the Giants, although defensive coordinator Perry Fewell said Phillips' absence has affected the defense in many ways.
"We miss him in more ways than one. Not only in the post or in the half but his athletic talent to cover a guy like Jason Witten or Gresham that we had to play or some of the tight ends we've had to face," Fewell said. "It's a big loss when you have a talented player like that."
Brown has shown a knack for making plays on the ball, although his blown coverage on the TD pass to Bengals WR A.J. Green last week shows he still can lack recognition at times. Phillips can help steady things, and Brown has played well enough to have earned a permanent role of some note.

Tuesday night in Chicago, Francisco Liriano began his sixth start of the season with a 9.13 ERA, and ended with the seventh no-hitter in Minnesota Twins history.
Entering this season, if you were making a list of no-hitter candidates, Liriano would have been somewhere near the top, as he ranked second in the American League last season with 9.4 strikeouts per nine innings.
Well, maybe not too near the top of the list; before Tuesday night, Liriano had started 94 games in the major leagues without completing even one of them. He'd started 110 games in the minor leagues without completing one of those, either.
Still, he was a candidate.
This season? Not so much. Considering Liriano's performance in April, if you were making a list this season, he wouldn't have been near the bottom because he wouldn't have been on the list at all.
After Liriano's last start, though, he was told he'd been inconsistent with his release point this season. Maybe that made a difference Tuesday night. Or maybe it didn't, as Liriano walked six White Sox and struck out only two, making this particular no-hitter (at least) doubly bizarre.
The Twins needed every shutout inning, as their anemic lineup managed just one run against White Sox starter Edwin Jackson and reliever Matt Thornton. The game's only run came when Jason Kubel led off the fourth inning with a homer to right field.
The best defensive play behind Liriano came with two outs in the seventh, when third baseman Danny Valencia ranged into foul territory to snag Carlos Quentin's sharp ground ball, then made a strong throw to nip Quentin.
Liriano entered the ninth inning having thrown 101 pitches. Brent Morel led off with a grounder to shortstop Matt Tolbert, with first baseman Justin Morneau making a nifty scoop to record the out. Juan Pierre followed with a walk, Liriano's sixth. But Liriano got Alexi Ramirez on a pop to shortstop. Which left only Adam Dunn between Liriano and some measure of immortality.
Once more, Liriano struggled to throw strikes, the count running to 3-and-0. But Liriano threw a called strike, then got Dunn to swing and miss, then foul off another offering. Finally, Dunn lined Liriano's seventh pitch -- and 123rd of the game -- right at Tolbert, who secured the 27th out, along with Liriano's place in the record books.
It might not have been a masterpiece. But Francisco Liriano shouldn't have to worry about Kevin Slowey taking his job for a while.

CARY — Raleigh Charter's girls and N.C. Science and Math's boys remained the best in the pool in the N.C. High School Athletic Association 1A/2A classification.
The Triangle schools repeated as 1A/2A state swimming and diving champions Thursday, winning convincingly at the Cary Aquatic Center.
The Raleigh Charter girls claimed their fourth straight state title, totaling 293 points. Lincoln Charter of Lincolnton was second (207.5), Carrboro third (151), Pine Lake Prep of Mooresville fourth (150) and N.C. Science and Math fifth (149).
"I don't really have the words for it," Raleigh Charter coach Matt Mosher said of this team's state-title streak. "We knew it was a possibility but at the same time we were ready to work hard for it.
"Hard work gives good results. It was kind of nerve-racking there for a while to lose a relay right off the bat and lose 40 points."
Carrboro sophomore Will Macmillan won two individual titles Thursday night as the Jaguars finished second in the men's meet.
Macmillan took top honors in the 100 free (in 46.35 seconds) and set a new 1-A/2-A record in the 200 individual medley in 1:52.53. He was named the mens meet Most Outstanding Swimmer.
"I couldn't do it if there weren't so many people cheering for me," Macmillan said. "I just love swimming. I'm very proud of my team. We did great."
Junior Thomas Bilden also was a winner for Carrboro, taking first in the 100 butterfly in 51.94.
The N.C. School of Science & Math scored 343 and won its second consecutive team championship. The Unicorns won both relays and got a single individual title from Jacob Vosburgh in the 500 freestyle.
Carrboro's 400 freestyle relay of Simon Deshusses, Bilden, Connor Murphy and Macmillan swimming anchor earned a second place.
Carrboro's women finished fourth in their 400 relay, with a team of Emily McDaniels, Leah Abrams, Katie Spang and Mia Morrell.
Morrell swam to the best individual finish of any of the Carrboro women, taking third in the 200 free in 1:54.82.
The women's MVP was sophomore Alyssa Marsh of Pine Lake Prep, who won the 100 backstroke in an 1A/2A state record time of 54.86 and the 100 butterfly in 53.72 (an all-classification state record). Both times were automatic All-America times.
The 4A and 3A championships were held this weekend, too late for today's edition of the Chapel Hill News. See newsobserver.com for reports.

Englewood is one of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods and not place where you would think movies, but filmmaker Mark Harris would like all of that to change through the eye of the lens.
For Harris, entertainment is the only way to transform his community--or the perception of it around the world. To do that, he and one of his friends started the Englewood Film Festival three years ago. Now, they have nearly 100 entries from short makers all around the world.
"You see so much hope in people's eyes and in the testimonies of the people who have been there are like wow this happened in our neighborhood," says Alisa Inez.
"I have to put positive images up," Harris explains. "I film most of my films…these films have been filmed in Englewood and I'm always---always conscious of the images I put out."
While he's putting out those images, the Englewood Film Festival is creating jobs and much needed revenue in an area nearly at its limit on foreclosures, unemployment and gun violence.
It's called the Englewood Film Festival but there are no movie theatres in the community so most of the panel discussions about the films will be taking place west of Englewood in Chatham.
Getting local residents and people from around interested in the project is tough, Harris says, because of the negative headlines. Getting people from around the world to attend the Englewood film festival is even tougher, but Harris says he can change that.
"We want to put cafes in the community. We want to put bookstores in the community. We want to put health food stores in the community you know, we want to--we want to make Englewood like your Hyde Park or Oak Park, you know, where people come in and see what's going on in Englewood and they can be proud of it."

Georgians, please don't Instagram your ballot. It's illegal.
The Peach State has a law that expressly prohibits recording devices in polling places or publicly displaying your ballot, according to the Citizen Media Law Project. In layman's terms, you can't take any pictures or video in a polling place. You especially can't take a picture of your ballot. And you could be pretty screwed if you post said picture online anywhere and your profile is public. Because, yeah, doing illegal things publicly is a bad idea. (FYI, even if you don't crosspost your pic to your Twitter or Facebook, all Instagram profiles now have web addresses associated with them, and if your Instagram is already public, then so is that.)
Now, don't get all up in arms about how these laws are an invasion of civil liberties, stripping you of your right to show off your civic pride in a sepia tone. Most of them date back many years and were implemented to counteract voter fraud, as people used to pay members of the electorate to vote for certain candidates and then require a photograph of their ballot as proof.
While Georgia doesn't typically prosecute these cases, they could, according to the Secretary of State's press office. If they did, your vote wouldn't be nullified, but it could involve a penalty fee or another type of reprimand.
In general, though, let's err away from the irony of doing something illegal while simultaneously doing something civic. Stay classy, Atlanta.
And don't forget to vote! (The polls remain open until 7 p.m., and you can use this handy government site to locate your polling place if you aren't quite sure where it is.)
