A day earlier, the Grizzlies had talked a like a team that had misplaced its identity. The coach spoke of the team losing its "swagger."

The calendar says the Dallas Mavericks will be at FedExForum to play the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Just one game of 82 in the coast-to-coast marathon that is the NBA season.

Their winning streak is a modest two games. But don't tell the Grizzlies they're the same team that they were a month ago.
Since a five-game losing streak from Dec. 11-18, the Grizzlies have gone 7-4. They have added forward James Johnson, who has injected them with energy, athleticism and an ability to contribute numbers all across a box score.

SOUTH PASADENA - When she is in the pool, Liza Echeverria admits she has no idea what to call her brother, Robert.
"I don't actually have a name for him," Liza said. "I just go, `Ahhhhh...Sir....Eh,...Coach?"'
Liza Echeverria is one of the top players for the South Pasadena High School girls water polo team. Robert, 13 years her senior, is her coach.
"At times it can be very tough because he's very picky on me," she said. "But it's actually very helpful because he points out my flaws. It's actually a good thing he's my coach. I really enjoy it."
The elder Echeverria began coaching the Tigers' water polo boys and girls programs long before Liza was considering a high school to attend.
"I love this school," Liza Echeverria said. "Ever since he start coaching here, when I was in the fifth grade, I wanted to come to school here."
Robert, married and with a new baby in tow, does not visit the homestead very often. But obviously, he sees his younger sister in the South Pasadena pool every day.
"It's hard because I have to be able to separate being a brother and a coach," he said. "Its very frustrating. I know how she can push it, and when she is not pushing it that kind of upsets me. But it is fun."
On Thursday, in a battle for the Rio Hondo League lead, Echeverria, a junior, had four goals and two assists to help the Tigers beat Temple City, 16-8.
South Pasadena improved to 4-0 in league play. Temple City is 3-1.
"We did not play a very good game at all," Robert Echeverria said. "Temple City played with a lot of heart. You could tell they wanted it more. My girls came in with no effort and showed they were not on the same page. We missed too many opportunities."
The Tigers, ranked sixth in CIF-Southern Section Division6, were able to stop six power plays and pull away.
"We shouldn't be giving that many kickouts," Echeverria said. "Luck was on our side. It could have cost us if they put those shots away."
The Rams had nine power-play opportunities. For the most part, their shots went right at the Tigers' goalkeepers, or were knocked out of bounds. Three times the Rams had two scoring opportunities after having a first shot deflected out of bounds. On the third attempt, Isabella Munguia scored.
Grace Algeo scored five times to lead the Tigers. Devin Grab had four goals. Sara De La Torre had three goals for the Rams and Carly Simons two goals.
The Tigers increased their 3-2 first quarter lead to 7-3 at the half.

The Associated Press reports that the attorney for one of four Inland area terror suspects says his client had face and head injuries when he was turned over to the FBI by U.S. military officials in Afghanistan.
When Sohiel Omar Kabir arrived in California last week he had a broken facial bone, lacerations and was suffering from memory loss, according to Deputy Federal Public Defender Jeffrey Aaron.
"We think a lot of the injuries occurred during his arrest," Aaron told the Long Beach Press Telegram (http://bit.ly/Vx4wAc). "We're investigating what happened and why he wasn't hospitalized."
Kabir, 34, was captured Nov. 17 by U.S. special forces in Kabul, where he was staying with family members, and held for two weeks by the military before being turned over to the FBI.
FBI spokesman Laura Eimiller said Kabir suffered "combat-related injuries" during his capture. The injuries were treated by American medical personnel and he was cleared to be taken back to the U.S.
Kabir, a naturalized U.S. citizen, is suspected of being the ringleader of a plot to kill Americans and bomb military bases overseas.
He and three other defendants —Ralph Deleon and Arifeen Gojail, both 21, and Miguel Santana Vidriales, 23 — have pleaded not guilty.
Deleon, Vidriales and Gojali were arrested as they waited to board a plane headed for Istanbul on their way to Afghanistan to meet with Kabir, authorities said.
In video calls from Afghanistan, Kabir told the trio he would arrange meetings with terrorists, investigators said.

Spotting skin cancer in the Sunshine State just got a little easier. A new 3D tool is helping one local dermatologist screen for the deadliest form of cancer, pain free.
If you've ever been screened for skin cancer before, you know its a very involved process. Dermatologist Anita Saluja makes sure to check her patients from the tips of their toes all the way up to the tops of their scalps. She even searches through their hair looking for anything suspicious.
Seconds after taking a look a her patient Jayna Davis' back, her eyes widened. "There's a mole here that has irregular pigmentation," said Dr. Saluja, who pointed out that to her trained eye it looks like it could be melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. "This is what we call an ugly duckling mole. It sticks out. There are a few stipples of pigmentation and so this looks irregularly pigmented to me," said Dr. Saluja.
Now, thanks to MelaFind, a new piece of computer generated technology, Dr. Saluja can get a 3-D look what's below the skin's surface. MelaFind is a breakthrough system that is FDA approved to non invasively painlessly evaluate irregular moles for melanoma. It's another tool in our skin exam to give us that little extra bit of information that may reassure us or help us decide if we want to biopsy," said Dr. Saluja.
MIMA Dermatology in Viera just got their MelaFind last month. They're the first practice in Central Florida to be using this technology. With Jayna's mole there are two options. "Biopsy for melanoma will often require stitches. It can leave a visible scar," said Dr. Saluja explaining option number one. Option number two, monitoring it for three months to see if the mole changes. "I'd love for you to monitor it. But I don't think you'll be able to monitor well in this location on your back," said Dr. Saluja. In this situation, both doctor and patient agreed MelaFind could give them both peace of mind.
Dr. Saluja's physician's assistant fired up the MelaFind system, cued up the computer and put a hand held device directly up to the mole. It looks through he skin's surface to get a look at the subsurface layers. "This gives us below the surface of the skin where we can't see it. it gives us a true 3D picture. It has a data base of 10-thousand melanomas its comparing it too," said Dr. Saluja.
MelaFind's analysis in the case we observed, "Looking at this reading of high disorganization. It doesn't mean it's melanoma, just means we need more information," explained Dr. Saluja. "Because of family history, because I am clinically suspicious, I'm going to biopsy," said Dr. Saluja. She'd rather be safe than sorry. Patient Jayna Davis told Dr. Saluja, because of the location of the mole on her back, she never even saw it.
Dr. Saluja gives patients the option to use MelaFind if she finds something that on the surface looks like it could be melanoma. The cost is $150 dollars per visit (no matter how many suspicious moles she uses it on). It is not covered by insurance, however you can use money from your flexible spending account to pay for it.
Using this new type of technology begs the question, is she doing more or less biopsies when she uses MelaFind. "Interestingly you end up doing more biopsies with this. But, a higher percentage of the biopsies turn out to have a-typical cells so you end up finding more melanomas or a-typical cells that could potentially lead to melanoma," said Dr. Saluja.
That means in many cases she is biopsy-ing earlier and sometimes catching the most aggressive, fastest growing form of skin cancer or cancerous cells a little earlier than she might have before she brought this made this new form of technology part of her practice. Studies have shown melanoma is almost 100 percent curable if early and treated properly.

BROWNSBURG — Not every customer at Natural Valley Ranch turns heads, but that's exactly what happened on Wednesday when Indiana First Lady Cheri Daniels showed up for equestrian lessons.
Marie Damler and her husband Chuck said Daniels did just fine.
And the lesson gave Daniels an opportunity to learn some new feats.
"I'd only been on a horse once before," she said. "It was kind of a single file trail. It's something that I have never mastered. It was fun. I was a little nervous and I am not sure about the trotting. It was fun and something that I would like to try again."
Daniels teams up with the Ed Wank and Dave O'Brien from the Wank and O'Brien Morning Show on 97.1 Hank FM to travel around the state and perform tasks that she had never done before.
"It's great fun," Daniels said. "We decided to collaborate on a segment that we do. We thought it would be fun to have listeners call in and give us ideas of what to do. They called us and it sounded like fun. Hopefully, I will be back to do it just on my own."
Marie Damler said her helper in the barn made the call to the show and was well received after a couple of attempts.
"Our helper made a phone call when she was listening to the Wank and O'Brien Morning Show," Marie said. "They are promoting the Governor's wife going somewhere once a month to try something that she has never tried before."
Daniels said she was pleased with the opportunity to learn about grooming a horse.
"I actually learned a lot," she said. "I never thought that I would be grooming a horse or using a pick on a horse's hoof. That was kind of interesting to learn how to go about it."
However, she credits her partner for her success — not Gov. Mitch Daniels, but rather Joker, the horse she was paired with.
"Of course, Joker was a very good horse," Daniels said. "I owe my success to him."
Marie said the event should allow the ranch to get some publicity.
"I think that it's exciting for us," she said. "I think that it will get the word out. Wank and O'Brien are going to post it on their website. It should be a four-minute spot."
The lesson that Daniels took is also available to the public at the ranch.
"What Sherry did today was take a one-hour lesson," Marie said. "We offer private lessons. We really started with public trail riding. We are open year-round, which is a big draw. We have about 50 acres of trails and about 72 acres all together."
For three days a week, the ranch offers customers the chance to lease and ride any of their horses. The ranch has 28 horses of all sizes.
"What's good for us is we are so close to Indianapolis," Marie said. "So you don't have to go to Brown County to get the experience."
The ranch is just off of County Road 350 North in Brownsburg. For more information about Natural Valley Ranch, visit the website at www.naturalvalleyranch.com.

Oh, so this is why they actually play the baseball games.
Game 1 of the 2012 World Series was supposed to be a mismatch, and the final score suggested that it was. Except it wasn't supposed to be this mismatch: The San Francisco Giants, with Barry Zito pitching 5⅔ strong innings and Pablo Sandoval hitting three home runs, beat the Detroit Tigers and Justin Verlander, 8-3.
Verlander, of course, is arguably the best pitcher in the major leagues. In his three postseason starts this month, he'd given up exactly two runs. Meanwhile, Zito went 15-8 during the regular season, but the sophisticated metrics suggested that he'd actually pitched little better than a Triple-A pitcher. And even his 7⅔ shutout innings against the Cardinals in Game 5 of the National League Series was ... well, it was just hard to imagine that Zito would get away with, against these Tigers, so many line drives and 85-mile-an-hour fastballs down the middle.
But Zito did get away with it, for a while anyway, taking a shutout into the sixth inning.
Of course, Zito wasn't the biggest story in Game 1. Nor was Justin Verlander, removed from the contest after throwing 98 pitches in four innings. No, that honor goes to Pablo Sandoval, who became only the fourth player in World Series history to hit three home runs in one game, joining Albert Pujols, Reggie Jackson and Babe Ruth (who did it twice).
With two outs in the bottom of the first, Sandoval drove a high fastball over AT&T Park's center-field wall; it was the first time all year that Verlander gave up a home run on an 0-and-2 pitch. In the third, again with two outs, Sandoval got ahead in the count 2-and-0 before driving a fastball the other way, and over the left-field fence. And in the fifth inning, now with Al Alburquerque on the mound, Sandoval homered yet again; and again, over the center-field fence.
Sandoval hit only a dozen home runs during the regular season, and only seven of those came at home. He's now got six homers in the postseason, and has taken the lead in the Babe Ruth Award sweepstakes.
Zito did get into some trouble in the sixth inning, and was replaced by another of the Giants' question marks: Tim Lincecum. And Lincecum, with the first Detroit run already across the plate, struck out Jhonny Peralta to preserve the Giants' 6-1 lead. Lincecum pitched scoreless seventh and eighth innings, too, ultimately retiring all seven Tigers he faced. With five strikeouts. And in the process, he might have given Bruce Bochy a template for Game 5: Get whatever he can from Zito, then turn to the two-time Cy Young Award winner for some late-innings dominance.
With an eye on the future, Bochy turned to left Jose Mijares in the ninth, and Mijares got his one batter (Prince Fielder) before giving way to (usually) long man George Kontos. Delmon Young greeted Kontos with a ground-ball single into right field, and Peralta followed with a drive to deep center field. Ángel Pagán made a leaping try, but succeeded only in deflecting the ball off the top of the fence, and it bounced over for a two-run homer.
Bochy stuck with Kontos -- after all, the Giants still had a five-run lead -- and the right-hander retired pinch-hitter Andy Dirks on a little comebacker, only to walk Alex Avila. That finally brought Bochy out of the dugout, and he summoned left-hander Jeremy Affeldt to face pinch-hitter Ramon Santiago. And Santiago sent Affeldt's first pitch straight to shortstop Brandon Crawford, who flipped to Marco Scutaro for the game-ending fielder's choice.
The story of Game 1 might have been Barry Zito's second straight clutch performance, or it might have been Tim Lincecum's unhittable relief work, or it might have been Justin Verlander's uncharacteristic struggles. But instead this one will always belong to Pablo Sandoval, and to everyone who was lucky enough to see him make history.
