Calvary's Food Pantry is in need of items. Any canned goods, pasta, quick prep meals in a box (non-perishable), cereals, snacks etc are needed to fill our food bags that we distribute to church families and families in the community who are in need. Each bag provides about a week's worth of food for 2 people and includes scriptural encouragement, ways to get connected with a church family in the community and gospel tracts. If you are able to help with this need, simply drop off the items you would like to donate at the Main Office between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm Monday through Thursday.
This life changing seminar focuses on "What is your purpose in life?" The goal of the seminar is for each person to discover his or her life "purpose in one word." Through a 4-step process, many will be able to learn to articulate their life purpose statement in 15 words or less. Insights will be gained, e.g.: What am I to do with my life? How do the key events in my life shape me regarding who I am today? What is the Big Need I see in the world? What is my Big Dream to solve the Big Need that I see?

Security Enhancement of the Vortex Family of Hash Functions
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Vortex is a new family of one-way hash functions which has been submitted to the NIST SHA-3 competition. Its design is based on using the Rijndael block cipher round as a building block, and using a multiplication-based merging function to support fast mixing in a small number of steps. Vortex is designed to be a fast hash function, when running on a processor that has AES acceleration and has a proven collision resistance. Several attacks on Vortex have been recently published exploiting some structural properties of its design, as presented in the version submitted to the SHA-3 competition.

US health official: Ebola has 'upper hand'
The Ebola virus has the "upper hand" in an outbreak that has killed more than 1,400 people in West Africa, a top American health official said, adding that experts have the tools to stop it.
Associated Press
The Ebola virus has the "upper hand" in an outbreak that has killed more than 1,400 people in West Africa, a top American health official said, adding that experts have the tools to stop it.
Dr. Tom Frieden, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is visiting Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the three hardest hit countries, this week.
Nigeria has also recorded cases, but officials have expressed optimism that its spread there can be controlled. On Tuesday, Frieden continues his visit in Liberia, which has the most cases and deaths.
"Lots of hard work is happening, lots of good things are happening," Frieden told a meeting attended by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf on Monday. "But the virus still has the upper hand."
The current outbreak is the largest ever and experts have struggled to contain it for a host of reasons: doctors took a long time to identify it, it is happening in a region where people are highly mobile, it has spread to densely populated areas and many people have resisted or hid from treatment. The disease has overwhelmed already struggling health systems in some of the world's poorest countries.
But Frieden expressed optimism that the outbreak can be contained.
"Ebola doesn't spread by mysterious means, we know how it spreads," he said in his remarks, which were broadcast on Liberian TV. "So we have the means to stop it from spreading, but it requires tremendous attention to every detail."
Liberia has resorted to some of the most stringent measures to control the disease, including sealing off an entire slum neighborhood in the capital. Sirleaf has also declared a state of emergency and ordered all her ministers and top government officials to remain in the country or return from any trips.
Late Monday, her office said in a statement that any official who defied that order had been fired. The order was issued a few weeks ago and officials had been given a week to return. The statement did not say how many or who had been fired.
According to the latest World Health Organization tally, the Ebola outbreak has killed 1,427 people of the 2,615 sickened. The U.N. health agency says that 240 health care workers have been infected with Ebola, calling that an unprecedented number. Half of those infected have died.
The agency said that the high number of infections among health workers is due to a shortage of protective gear and its improper use and a shortage of staff to treat the tremendous influx of patients.

Giants yet to make final offer for Sandoval
Don't count out the Giants in the battle for free-agent third baseman Pablo Sandoval.
San Francisco has faced a stiff challenge in its quest to retain the 28-year-old, who has spent all of his seven big league seasons and won three World Series with the club. The Red Sox have made Sandoval a five-year, $95 million offer, according to The Boston Globe, and the Padres have entered the mix as a surprise contender. San Diego, normally not a player for expensive free agents, has made a "very competitive offer," according to MLB.com's Corey Brock.
But even if the Giants have not matched those bids yet, that still could change. Appearing on MLB Network radio on Sunday morning, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said his club has "not made a final offer." The San Francisco Chronicle previously reported that Sandoval's agent, Gustavo Vazquez, has asked the Giants to submit their best proposal next week. Sandoval is expected to make his decision then.

Sandoval in Boston to meet with Red Sox
Third baseman Pablo Sandoval took his free-agent tour to Boston on Monday, arriving at Logan Airport in the afternoon and telling local news channel WHDH-TV that he is "excited" for a visit the Red Sox. Sandoval is in town with his agent, Gustavo Vazquez, and his older brother, Michael.
"Pablo is a winner," Vazquez told the network. "The Boston Red Sox need a winner right now, and I think Pablo can be a good fit over here."
The Sox are believed to be one of two favorites to land Sandoval, along with the Giants, the team with which Sandoval spent his first seven big league seasons. The Padres recently joined the White Sox and Blue Jays as other teams known to have expressed interest in the 28-year-old switch hitter.
"It could be Red Sox, it could be any other uniform," Michael Sandoval said of his brother's options. "The good part of this is he's got a chance to explore his value on the market and see who can really appreciate him and his work."
Pablo Sandoval joked that he was "on vacation" and "just visiting the city" but acknowledged the lobbying role of Red Sox slugger David Ortiz.
"I love being in this situation," he said. "David's a good guy. I've been through a lot this winter with the commercial stuff and all of that. He's a great guy."
Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said last week that he met with Vazquez during his time at the GM Meetings in Phoenix.
"[Sandoval's] one of many that we're talking to. I'd rather not comment on exactly who we might meet and who we might not, but he's one guy we have interest in," Cherington said.
In a tweet Monday, MLB.com's Ian Browne cautioned against drawing any conclusions from Sandoval's visit.
Sandoval is a career .294/.346/.465 hitter and batted .366 this postseason as he helped the Giants to their third championship in five years.

Colon: "I don't know anything about" trade rumors
Bartolo Colon did his best to avoid the subject of trade rumors after his win over the Mariners on Wednesday, calling them a "decision for upper management."
"I can't control that stuff," Colon said.
What Colon can control is making himself attractive to contenders, should the Mets fall out of realistic contention and decide to deal him. After posting a 5.88 ERA over his previous four starts, Colon rebounded by taking a perfect game into the seventh against the Mariners. He finished with 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball.
ESPN Deportes reported earlier this week that the Giants have expressed interest in the 41-year-old right-hander.

1/27 Roundup
This Hot Stove season is still going strong, but some already are looking ahead to the next one.
Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz is among those, saying in a Sunday night TV interview that "it might be time to move on," if Boston doesn't give him a multiyear extension. The 38-year-old slugger is heading into the final season of his current deal, but MLB.com's Ian Browne writes that it "seems more likely than not" that Ortiz will remain with the Red Sox for the remainder of his career.
In other news from around the league on Monday:
- MLB.com's Doug Miller looks at the offseason's unfinished business in The Week Ahead.
- One of the few impact bats remaining on the market belongs to outfielder Nelson Cruz. As MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez writes, Cruz has been linked to the Orioles and Mariners, although it's not impossible that he could return to the Rangers on a one-year deal.
- Veteran infielder Michael Young, currently a free agent after finishing 2013 with the Dodgers, likely will retire or return to Los Angeles for another season.
- As part of his latest inbox, Yankees beat writer Bryan Hoch throws some cold water on the idea of free-agent shortstop Stephen Drew coming to the Bronx.
- Left-hander David Huff could make a run at the No. 5 spot in the Giants' starting rotation or fill a long relief role after the club acquired him from the Yankees last week.
- Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. is still looking for a center fielder to back up Ben Revere but might have to turn to the trade market for a solution.
- The Indians and right-hander Justin Masterson have halted negotiations on a long-term extension while they try to compromise on a one-year deal to avoid arbitration.
- A handful of utility infielders signed Minor League contracts on Monday. The Indians picked up Elliot Johnson, the Brewers landed Pete Orr, and the Reds acquired Chris Nelson, while CBSSports.com reported that the Rockies agreed to a deal with Paul Janish.

1/23 Roundup
The theory went that once Masahiro Tanaka signed, the rest of the free-agent market would loosen up after weeks at a near standstill. Well, the Yankees won the bidding for the Japanese right-hander on Wednesday, and on Thursday — as if on cue — more action followed.
Although several significant free agents remain available — pitchers such as Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana, for instance — the chips began to fall in Tanaka's wake. With the Rays signing closer Grant Balfour and the Brewers drawing close to a deal with starter Matt Garza, Thursday was a signal that the Hot Stove could once again be sizzling.
Here's a look at news from around the league:
- Garza reportedly had agreed to a four-year, $52 million deal with the Brewers on Thursday, but the club later announced that negotiations were "ongoing." If the contract goes through, it will qualify as a strong move for Milwaukee, writes MLB.com columnist Mike Bauman.
- Balfour had a deal with the Orioles fall through earlier in the offseason after issues arose with his physical, and that allowed the veteran to wind up back with Tampa Bay, on a two-year deal. Balfour was a setup man for the Rays from 2007-10 but returns as the club's ninth-inning man after a successful stint in Oakland.
- Tanaka held a press conference with the Japanese media in Tokyo and said the Yankees gave him the "highest evaluation," and he is "going there to win the World Series."
- Tanaka's new general manager, Brian Cashman, said his offseason "heavy lifting" likely is complete, although there still are areas for him to address. According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com and MLB Network, the club is considering adding free-agent shortstop Stephen Drew, now that it won't be able to stay under the luxury tax threshhold. Drew could play second base or move back to short if Derek Jeter is injured.
- With Clayton Kershaw's massive extension with the Dodgers now about a week old, two other All-Star pitchers expressed their desire for long-term contracts that would allow them to stay put. Reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer told reporters at the Tigers' Winter Caravan that he hopes to get something done by this spring, or if not, after the season. Meanwhile, Red Sox lefty Jon Lester stated his desire to remain with the only organization he has known for the rest of his career.
- On the topic of extensions, the Marlins have interest in signing slugger Giancarlo Stanton to one, now that they have avoided arbitration with a one-year contract for 2014.
- This has been a much more patient type of offseason for the Angeles, writes MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez, who also takes a look at five free-agent starters whom the team could target.
- Elsewhere in the AL West, the Mariners also are looking to add a starter, preferably a veteran who could fill the No. 3 slot in their rotation behind Felix Hernandez and Hisashi Iwakuma.
- Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said he thought his club was going to be able to sign outfielder Grady Sizemore but that Sizemore, "changed his mind at the last minute," before signing with the Red Sox on Wednesday.
- Thursday also brought some Minor League deals for veteran players, with righties Jon Rauch and David Aardsma signing with the Royals and Indians, respectively, lefty Aaron Laffey going to the Orioles and outfielder Endy Chavez returning to the Mariners.
- The Giants avoided arbitration with infielder Joaquin Arias, signing him to a two-year deal.

Mulder reportedly looking West
Veteran pitcher Mark Mulder, who's looking to make a comeback after five seasons out of the big leagues, apparently has a few suitors and is considering teams on the West Coast and that train in Arizona.
ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick reports the Angels, D-backs and Giants were the first three teams to watch Mulder when he first worked off a mound in November. Crasnick says Mulder is "close" to finding a team. MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez has also reported the Angels are in the mix.
The 36-year-old former first-round pick (of the A's in 1998) pitched nine seasons in the big leagues (five with Oakland, four with St. Louis) and was an All-Star in 2003 and 2004.
– Joey Nowak
Report: Moscoso signs deal in Japan
Right-hander Guillermo Moscoso has elected to continue his career in Japan, agreeing on Thursday to sign with Nippon Professional Baseball's Yokohama Bay Stars, according to Nikkan Sports.
Moscoso has struggled since his 2011 breakout season, posting a 6.12 ERA over 50 innings with the Rockies in '12 and a 5.10 ERA over 30 frames with the Giants this past season. This all came after he went 8-10 with a 3.38 ERA in 23 appearances (21 starts) with the A's in his first full big league season in '11.
The 30-year-old righty started last season with the Cubs organization, but was traded to the Giants in exchange for cash in July. Moscoso is 13-14 with a 4.28 ERA, while playing for four teams over five big league seasons.

12/23 Roundup
The Dodgers already have a strong closer in Kenley Jansen, but that hasn't stopped them from bolstering their bullpen during Hot Stove season, acquiring a pair of experienced ninth-inning men in the process.
Los Angeles, which already had re-signed Brian Wilson and J.P. Howell, took steps to further strengthen its relief corps on Sunday and Monday by reaching reported agreements with former Indians closer Chris Perez and veteran right-hander Jamey Wright. The club's bullpen could be a force to be reckoned with this season, writes our Phil Rogers.
In other news around the league on Monday:
- Our Doug Miller takes a look at the players who could be finding new homes during the holiday season in the latest edition of The Week Ahead.
- Also in the holiday spirit, our Anthony Castrovince proposes the perfect gift for each National League club.
- The Twins finalized their deals with catcher Kurt Suzuki and right-hander Mike Pelfrey.
- At Sports on Earth, Jack Moore runs through the top six remaining free agents, with Kendrys Morales grabbing the top spot.
- Reds general manager Walt Jocketty told the Cincinnati Enquirer that his club will account for the loss of Shin-Soo Choo by making speedy prospect Billy Hamilton its starting center fielder and leadoff hitter.
- After backing out of a deal with Grant Balfour due to concerns over his physical, the Orioles are looking at Fernando Rodney to fill their closer vacancy but also are interested in re-signing Fernando Rodriguez, according to The Baltimore Sun.
- Meanwhile, Balfour continues to draw interest from other teams, with the New York Post reporting that the Yankees are among those involved. The San Francisco Chronicle's Henry Schulman also tweeted that the Giants have had "conversations" with Balfour.
- The Cubs are one of the teams interested in veteran reliever Jesse Crain, according to Bruce Levine of Chicago's WSCR-AM and 670thescore.com.

White Sox claim Surkamp; Blue Jays claim Morel
12/22 Roundup
The free-agent market lost one of its biggest names on Saturday, when outfielder Shin-Soo Choo agreed to a seven-year, $130 million contract with the Rangers.
As the list of unsigned impact players continues to shrink, the big question hanging over the Hot Stove is whether Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka will join the fray. The highly touted right-hander's Nippon Professional Baseball club, the Rakuten Golden Eagles, has yet to decide whether to make him available via NPB's recently revised posting system with Major League Baseball.
But the situation appears to nearing a resolution, with Baseball America's Ben Badler reporting that the Eagles are expected to inform Tanaka of their decision by Wednesday.
In other news from around the league on a quiet Sunday:
- Former A's closer Grant Balfour saw his two-year, $15 million deal with the Orioles fall through after issues arose with his physical, but as many as four teams — including the Rays — appear to have interest in the veteran righty.
- Former All-Star left-hander Mark Mulder, who is making a comeback attempt, has worked out for the Giants, Padres, D-backs, Angels and Phillies, according to The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo. Mulder last pitched in the Majors in 2008 but is working with a new delivery after injuries derailed his career.
- Cafardo also writes that free-agent shortstop Stephen Drew seems likely to return to the Red Sox, due in large part to a lack of other strong fits.
- Agent Scott Boras is trying to get the Mets interested in two of his remaining free agents, Drew and slugger Kendrys Morales, according to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick. However, Crasnick says Drew's price could be too high for New York, which doesn't appear to have much interest in Morales.

A visit to the Oasis B & B north of Tucson turns up a rare hummingbird.
I've been meaning to visit this place for a couple of years. There are very few bed-and-breakfast establishments in the Tucson area that cater to birders, and I had heard that the butterfly gardens here were amazing. OK, so this isn't the best time of year for butterflies, but with these shots of the well-planted front yard, you might get the idea. It's only 21 miles from where I live in north-central Tucson, but since I don't own a car, it's rather long bike ride, and mostly uphill. So I was lucky to join my friends Greg and Cat Greene for a morning visit here just last week, during a day between guest reservations.
This place is run by CJ and MaryEllen Vincent, and they've done an amazing job at landscaping with native plants – especially plants that attract birds and butterflies – and they continue work on removing invasive exotics and restoring native grasses. This time of year, it's the bird feeders and water features, in addition to all the native food that make this place a constant swarm of bird activity. While we walked the grounds, including a trail through a mesquite bosque, Greg snapped several shots. All of the bird photos (with one exception) were taken by Greg. The hummingbird feeders were abuzz with activity. Several Broad-billed Hummingbirds, such as this male, defended some of the feeders.
This female Costa's Hummingbird dashed in between visits by the showier males – of which there were 3 or 4 present.
Just beyond the feeders is one of the grass "prairies" that CJ is restoring – by planting native grasses and manually pulling up the invasive Lehmann's Lovegrass.
As a result of the native Sonoran desert vegetation, especially including the grasses, there are several territories of the regional endemic Rufous-winged Sparrow (photo at top). Here they actually even come to the feeders right in front of the house.
I used to say that this was the commonest breeding bird in Arizona that has never occurred in any other U.S. state. Then just two weeks ago Nick Pederson and Jonathan Batkin found the first record for New Mexico just across the border from Arizona in Guadalupe Canyon.
There were at least three territorial male Cactus Wrens singing while we were here. Yes, spring starts very early in the Sonoran Desert.
The biggest surprise was this Violet-crowned Hummingbird, which is rare in Arizona in the winter and essentially unheard of this far north at any time of year. CJ took this photo the next day.
In fact, after I entered this sighting into eBird, it became the northernmost record in the database of over 220 entered from the state of Arizona. Here's a screenshot of the map that shows the distribution of eBird records – the Oasis B&B is the northernmost just east of the town of Catalina.

There are about 1.6 billion Muslims, or 23% of the world's population, making Islam the second-largest religion.
Via Seth Dixon
Jess Deady's curator insight, May 4, 10:40 AM
Religion is a widely popular theme throughout the world. People participate in thousands of different religions and who know Islam could become the second largest in the world?
Paige Therien's curator insight, May 4, 1:29 PM
The Muslim world is very misunderstood, especially in the United States. When someone hears "Muslim" they might immediately think of Arabs in the Middle East. However, Muslims are spread throughout the world and Islam is practiced by many types of ethnic groups (not all Arabs are Muslim either!)
Jess Deady's curator insight, May 4, 9:09 PM
Islam is a huge widespread religion. There is no surprise that it could ever become so large. The majority of Islamic followers is in the Asia-Pacific part of the world where that is no shocker either.
Roads? Religion? Accent? Food? Which factor dictates where the North ends?
This is a great intellectual expercise to help student think about regions and how we define them. The article can help also inform some of their thinking since one of the main problems for students in drawing regional boundaries is a lack of place-based knowledge.

Matthew DiLuglio's curator insight, October 12, 2013 6:49 PM
Borders... the first thing I think of was a giant bookstore near my hometown... it now ceases to exist, having been replaced by Barnes and Nobel... As for the political organization of space, I could apply this situation and laugh. Borders will cease to be, and they will be called after people's last names! I think this has already happened, when people unite together in countries such as the USA- although borders are specific, the general federal laws and many policies still apply in all states... generally. And people's names are often the namesakes of places. I don't like the idea of borders, though, it seems like a bunch of warmongers trying to get ahead in a world where they can't truly cheat death, so they cheat other people of land that may have been decreed in ancient documents as property of their ancestors, or even in accordance with the righteousness of the universe and what should be alloted to whom. Ownership is a concept of denial, because no one can truly own anything, not even our bodies, which contain trillions of infinite universes the size of the large one around us that we commonly refer to. Borders are relative, and will likely become recognized as obsolete. I know this was abstract, but it's my thoughts on the topic.
Hijab is an Islamic concept of modesty and privacy, most notably expressed in women's clothing that covers most of the body.
Via Seth Dixon
Ms. Harrington's insight:
Learning and teaching about the Hijab and its culture.
Shelby Porter's comment, September 19, 2013 2:39 PM
The hijab has become a very controversial issue on the global scale. For example, Saudi Arabian and Iran women are required to wear it where as other countries (most recently France) have banned the wearing of such religious garments. Under the U.S. constitutions first amendment of freedom of speech and freedom of religion allows the women to wear them. For many women it is a choice of modesty or a way to show her devotion to her religion. Many people today still are uneducated about the topic and see it as a way these women are being oppressed. Ultimately it is that woman's choice, but it is a shame that in some places it may come with a price.

Redbubble posters are a lot like space travel.
In that they're completely brilliant, however unlike space travel they're quite sensibly priced.
They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better.
Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece.
They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.
They are printed on 185gsm semi gloss poster paper and custom cut to three
maximum sizes – A2, A1 & A0. This includes a 5mm white border
to assist in framing.

Nuts about Brazil
... night is still young, and I'm hungry for more. Went back to the hostel and drank vodka with the Australians. (Did I mention it was �2 a litre here?) After getting massively inebriated we headed out in a taxi looking for the party. After stopping at several clubs all of which were nearly empty, we found Bomberos. So this is where the teenagers went! The place is packed with three or four hundred sweaty young bodies, (it's 25 degrees at night), and there's a band at the ...
A bit of beach time
... brazilians call hairy men (e.g. Foz) Tony Homes (??) and generally relaxed. We visited the church and tied ribbons onto the fence for luck, explored the streets painted with World Cup flags and covered in bunting that extended a lot further than expected and found an area full of bars and restaurants. Although low season it did get busy for the Brazil v Mexico game (bore draw) which we watched with brazilians in a Mexican bar! Foz tried to take out the bar staff with his "football ...

The Chase for 180: A quest to find college basketball's best shooter
Nov 11, 2013, 11:45 AM EST
Who is the best shooter in the country?
It's a tough question to answer, isn't it? Does being a "shooter" simply mean merely being a high-level marksman from beyond the arc? Can a player who thrives in the mid-range but rarely ventures out into three-point land be eligible? How heavily should we be valuing stats like efficiency and effective field goal percentage when taking all of this into account?
One number that we like to use is "180″. How do you become a 180 shooter? By shooting 50% or better from the field overall, 40% or better from three and at least 90% from the charity stripe. No college basketball player accomplished that feat last season, but Creighton's Doug McDermott did become a 180 shooter, with his 49.0% 3PT making up for shooting "just" 87.5% from the free throw line.
Below, listed in alphabetical order, are ten returning players likely to merit consideration this season. Later this month, we'll begin providing weekly updates tracking this.
1) Sean Armand (Iona): 161.2
2012-13: 16.6 ppg, 43.5% FG, 40.9% 3PT, 76.8% FT
Prior to Stephen Curry knocking down 11 three-pointers against the Knicks in February, who held the Madison Square Garden record for most three-pointers made in a game? That would be Armand, who's back for his senior season after averaging 16.6 points per game in 2012-13. With Lamont "Momo" Jones out of eligibility, there may be more shot opportunities for Armand and he has the skill needed to take advantage.
2) Travis Bader (Oakland): 166.6
2012-13: 22.1 ppg, 39.4% FG, 38.6% 3PT, 88.6% FT
The field goal percentage is a little low, but keep in mind that Bader is asked to do a lot for the Golden Grizzlies on the offensive end of the floor. Bader finished the 2012-13 season with a shot percentage of 29.2%, leading Oakland in that statistical category by more than five percentage points. He'll certainly get shots up, and if he can knock them down at a higher clip he'll be a fixture on the list.
3) Jeff Elorriaga (Boise State): 159.1
2012-13: 10.2 ppg, 44.4% FG, 44.7% 3PT, 70.0% FT
Much of the attention during the preseason has been heaped upon Anthony Drmic and Derrick Marks and with good reason, as those two are the feature offensive options for the Broncos. Don't forget about Elorriaga, who has turned into one of the Mountain West's best perimeter shooters. The question for Elorriaga: how many free throws will he attempt after shooting just 40 in 2012-13?
4) Corey Hawkins (UC Davis): 171.6
2012-13: 20.3 ppg, 47.4% FG, 40.0% 3PT, 84.2% FT
The son of Hersey Hawkins can light it up, as evidenced by his 41-point outing in a win at Hawaii last season. The junior, who began his collegiate career at Arizona State, reached double figures in 26 of the 28 games he played in. And in Big West play Hawkins shot 53.7% from the field, 52.5% from three and 81.1% from the foul line.
5) Tyler Haws (BYU): 174.1
2012-13: 21.7 ppg, 48.3% FG, 38.1% 3PT, 87.7% FT
Haws will be an All-America candidate this season, due not only to his ability to find (and create) quality looks but to also knock them down at a high rate. Haws dropped 42 on Virginia Tech last season, shooting 14-for-15 from the field (6-for-8 3PT) and 8-for-9 from the foul line. Failing to reach double figures just twice in 2012-13, there will be no shortage of quality looks for Haws this year.
6) R.J. Hunter (Georgia State): 158
2012-13: 17.0 ppg, 43.9% FG, 36.5% 3PT, 77.6% FT
Hunter's presence is one big reason why the Panthers are capable of winning the Sun Belt in their first season in the league. With a year of experience under his belt, Hunter should be even better-equipped to deal with the different looks opponents will show. And don't underestimate the impact that Ryan Harrow's arrival can potentially have on the quality of shots Hunter finds within the GSU offense.
7) Doug McDermott (Creighton): 191.3
2012-13: 23.3 ppg, 54.8%, 49.0% 3PT, 87.5% FT
McDermott is also one of the best players in the country, returning to Creighton to take on the new challenge that is the Big East. And while the level of competition is raised, McDermott will continue to find quality looks within the Bluejay offense. As a junior McDermott failed to shoot at least 40% from the field in just six of Creighton's 36 games, and given how many shots he attempted (518) that's rather impressive.
8) Preston Medlin (Utah State): 168.5
Medlin played in just 16 games last season due to a broken wrist, but he's healthy now and will once again be primary scoring option for the Aggies. Like McDermott he'll have to get used to tougher competition, as Utah State makes the move from the WAC to the Mountain West, but he'll be fine. As a sophomore (2011-12) Medlin shot 49.6% from the field, 42.8% from beyond the arc and 80.1% from the charity stripe.
9) Nik Stauskas (Michigan): 175.4
2012-13: 11.0 ppg, 46.3% FG, 44.0% 3PT, 85.1% FT
We've seen the videos of Stauskas' shooting exploits, and he's proven to be quite the marksman in game action as well. The Ontario native worked hard to expand his game during the offseason, and if the end result proves to be more quality looks from inside of the arc Stauskas will be a fixture on this list.
10) C.J. Wilcox (Washington): 160.1
2012-13: 16.8 ppg, 41.9% FG, 36.6% 3PT, 81.6% FT
By the time Wilcox's senior season ends he'll be Washington's all-time leader in made three-pointers, and he can score from anywhere on the floor. But Wilcox's staying power on this list could come down to how some of his teammates perform offensively; if they prove to be consistent threats the fifth-year season will reap the benefits in the form of higher percentage looks.
Five freshmen to keep in mind
1) Jabari Bird (California)
2) Conner Frankamp (Kansas)
3) Aaron Harrison (Kentucky)
4) Jabari Parker (Duke)
5) James Young (Kentucky)

Scott Bamforth ALMOST got to 180 last year (in the same roundabout way that McDermott did), but just missed it… he was a great shooter! Looking forward to following along… hopefully someone can join the 50/40/90 club this year!

I like what I saw and the concept looks to be worthwhile, but I just can't get my head out of Age of Empires thought. Like said, I also do not like micromanaging units, but it just reminds me so much of AoE that I can't get excited about it.
This seems like a more realistic take on how running a kingdom would probably work.
Also, Blind Guardian is awesome.
Did you know that in Soviet Russia, game plays you?
it's $40 on steam =[
Hey look, a quick look of Warcraft II.
looks like a cool game, may go download it
The first Majesty is quite possibly my favorite game of all time, so I'm gonna enjoy this :P
So when's the Giant Bomb Russia location going to open up? You've covered too many too much to not follow through with a new website, at least.
I got a Duder right after Dave said "It's been pretty stable for me".
"I think the demo has one of the single mission type games, where you try to survive for 75 days.
Just downloaded the Demo - I personally find the Demo map a very bad one for a demo, it feels like a grind where you simply don't win [yet?].
Already preparing to buy it, since it's a lot of fun - to make sure your heroes don't die an all."
This game sounds just like the Final Fantasy: My Life as a King game for WiiWare.
This is really just Majesty: 3D
I played the hell outta the first game. And I'm about half way through this one. It's still good fun but I almost fel like i may as well have just installed Majesty 1 and played through that again. Not a lot of changes/improvements in this one and it's kinda sad when you get booted from a scenario as soon as the main objective is completed. I feel like anybody who is into this game is going to wish they could keep building up their heros, "just one more turn" style. Especially now that you can carry a lord into the next mission (but then maybe that's why they made it this way).
This really could have been a much deeper and more epic rendition of Majesty. Fun, but dissapointing. Fingers crossed for a more fleshed out Majesty 3.
In Soviet Russia, resources mine you!
Sorry if someone else made the joke before I got to it.
Dave QL = awesome. He should have kept speaking in his accent though. That would have made it even better.
this game is pretty good. Glad to see it getting to recognition.
Do your heroes actually get saved and carryover to the other mission?
Or do you start from zero for every mission?
Do heroes actually organize parties?
Scottish Russian royal advisory, cool game though I really like a lot of the games concepts.
looks pretty great to me
" Do your heroes actually get saved and carryover to the other mission? Or do you start from zero for every mission? Do heroes actually organize parties? "
suprisingly cool idea
Hahah, Zeny. Zeny is the superior form of currency.
why does this video cut out at 13:16?
Am I the only one who watched that far?
Wait... are the sound effects ripped directly from Age of Empires 2?
That game looks pretty interesting.
looks kind of fun
I loved the first game, and this one isn't a HUGE step forward and is definitely more of the same... and that is exactly what I wanted! I highly recommend it, and the first one is on steam for 10$ if you want to try it out for cheap.
I bought this game launch day... So I'm not really sure why I watched this instead of playing it, haha. I'm glad to see you guys giving it air time though, good QL!
You forgot to mention that it is also on Impulse. Make sure to include all the platforms it is available for when you mention what it is coming out on.
IN russuie the hot dogs cook cats
Blind Guardian are so RPG they made and performed a song for Sacred 2 specifically...which is an RPG.
i'm sure someone said that already.
This game needs mad loot.
Looks like it might be fun and I haven't played an RTS in ages..I just wish I had a PC good enough to run it.
" why does this video cut out at 13:16? Am I the only one who watched that far? "Nopes it went past that section for me, so it's just you, the video might have timed out or something.
In Russian RTS' units command you!
I remember enjoying the first one. That's about all I remember.
This is sort of what I've wanted out of an RTS/Sim. Not fond of micromanaging unless that's all I'm doing. Dawn of War II goes to the opposite extreme from what I understand, and THAT looks appealing too...
Looks pretty cool I Played the first one might give this a try.
Reminds me of Settlers 3 and 4 a lot.
This really appeals to me, the idea of setting up quests for heroes. Reminds me alot of the early Settlers games which were great. Will grab it once the gaming schedule is less busy, I love the convenience of Steam.
Seems pretty good. I'm also a turtle and not very good at micromanaging troops so this seems quite interesting.
Isn't the Motherland Africa?
It's from "Mother Russia" not "The Motherland".
Reminds me of Tropico.
Loved the original. Can't wait to get this. It's really a game for those who hate RTSs.
Thanks for the quick look. I'm buying this. Looks fun.
