ANAHEIM, Calif. – If this is sophomore James Harden's last season at Arizona State, and he has not addressed the issue definitively, he is going out with a flourish.
Harden had his second 30-plus scoring game in seven days against Baylor late Friday, although his 32 points were not enough to enable ASU to reach the championship game of the 76 Classic at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The tournament is being played about 15 minutes from where Harden grew up, and he looked at home, scoring 23 points in the final 11 minutes of the Sun Devils' 87-78 loss, which sent them into the third-place game against UTEP at 6 p.m. today.
"We tried to not go down without a fight," Harden said.
The trickiest part of ASU's offense seems to be when, exactly, to let Harden take up the fight. He scored 33 points against Pepperdine on Nov. 23 — he had more points than Pepperdine until late in the second half — but took only five shots in an 84-56 victory over Charlotte here Thursday, although he finished with 15 points by making all 11 of his free-throw attempts.
Though the Sun Devils (4-1) did not need much from Harden then, they needed him a whole bunch after Baylor took a 61-46 lead Friday behind the shooting of guards Curtis Jerrells and LaceDarius Dunn, whose range is as exotic as his first name.
The Bears made 51 percent of their field-goal attempts, becoming the first team to shoot at least 50 percent against ASU this season, and made 11 of their 24 3-point attempts, with Dunn going 6-for-12.
After Dunn's sixth 3-pointer, ASU simply geared its offense to Harden, giving him the ball on the right wing or at the top of the key, then setting screens to give him options.
Controlling the ball on almost every possession, he made four 3-pointers, two layups and seven foul shots, most coming when he was hit driving the basket. Jerrells, a friend, could not stop him, and neither could Dunn.
"He's a great player. He is going to get his shots," said Jerrells, who had 22 points.
"I was guarding him and he got away from me a little bit. I told LaceDarius he was doing a better job, so take over."
Harden said his contributions are designed to fit into the framework of the team.
"If my teammates want me to score or to make plays for them, I feel comfortable," Harden said. "It's a team effort."

Wenatchee's Tyler Farrar second in sprint finish | NW Briefs
Favorite Marcel Kittel of Germany edged Farrar in a mass cycling sprint featuring several crashes to win the 125-mile Scheldt Prize through the flats of northern Belgium.
ANTWERP, Belgium — Favorite Marcel Kittel of Germany edged Wenatchee cyclist Tyler Farrar in a mass sprint, winning the 125-mile Scheldt Prize through the flats of northern Belgium on Wednesday.
A sudden shower on the final stretches of cobblestones and asphalt resulted in a crash-marred finish.
"It was crazy," said Farrar, 28. "I was scared for the last five kilometers."
Farrar does not have an individual victory this year, but already has 14 top-10 finishes.
Seattle Thunderbirds right wing Branden Troock was named to Team Canada for the Under-18 World Championships, April 12-22 in the Czech Republic. Troock, from Edmonton, Alberta, had 14 goals and 12 assists in his first Western Hockey League season with the T-birds.

Inside passage
Cool. Inside passage to Ketch? Exciting!
First, the advice and concern about your voyage is justified. He knows his snit, and is concerned about your safety.
So you get where I'm coming from, here's me:
I am a lifetime sailor and I currently own a 40' boat moored in Seattle.
I have sailed singlehanded a lot.
I spent 5 yrs as a tug master, towing barges between Seattle and SE AK. Also, have experience throughout SE. I've been to every town you may be considering. Lots of time on this route with a tug and barge. Haven't sailed it.
Here's some stuff that seems relevant:
-Furler: if you want to know what it is, look for similar, ask an old boatyard guy, etc. This blog was a wise start. If it works well now, it should be ok for your trip. Probably a low priority concern.
- you'll need charts. 50 comes to mind, maybe a few more or less. Depending on a computer for this is a bad idea. I'm not going to suggest outdated charts are usable. Just a whole lot cheaper.
- plan your route and know possible holes.
- as mentioned, the is huge amount of commercial traffic. All of it will take their half out of the middle (ok, not all). Be aware of the VTS and frequencies.
- Current is a prime concern (Example: Seymour Narrows can have 16 kts)
- often the wind will not be in your favor. A reliable engine, and fuel, is a must.
- monitor the wx. Wind against current can add up to seas dangerous to large commercial vessels.
-again, the wx and sea conditions are not to be taken lightly.
-I advise you to continue to seek advice from folks that know from experience.
- fishing in AK ain't what it used to be. Getting on a boat without experience will be tough. Logging? Canning? These industries are also WAY down. Tourism is up and I believe seasonal jobs are available?
- Ketchikan is the first large (for Ak) town after you cross the boarder. I know guys there that would be happy to let you buy them a drink, ect. From there you can learn about SE AK.
Good luck, Safe sailing!

So a master is never argumentative. And if sometimes he appears to be argumentative, he is just playing with you - and playing for a certain reason. Don't become a victim. He is playing for a certain reason; he can be argumentative just to find whether your argumentativeness is aroused or not. If it is aroused, you have missed. If you can listen to his argumentativeness without becoming argumentative, he will not play the game with you. He has to look within you. You may be consciously listening, unconsciously argumentative. Then he has to bring your unconscious up so that you can become aware of it.
Sometimes a master will look as if he is aggressive, as if he is bent upon defeating you. But he is never bent upon your defeat - just to defeat your ego, not you; just to destroy your ego, not you. And remember: the ego is the poison, it is destroying you. Once the poison is destroyed you will be free and alive for the first time. An abundance of light will happen to you for the first time. He is destroying the disease, not you.
Sometimes he may have to be argumentative. There have been masters who were very argumentative. It was impossible to defeat them, impossible to play the game of words with them. But they were just helping to bring your consciousness up, so that you can become aware whether your faith is true or not.
It happened: a Sufi, Junnaid, was living with his master. And the master was so argumentative that whatsoever you said, he would immediately negate it. If you said, "It is day," he would say, "No, it is night" - and it was really not so, it was day.
Whatsoever Junnaid would say, he would always find that the master would negate it. And he would simply bow down his head and say, "Yes, Master, it is night."
One day the master said, "Junnaid, you have won. I couldn't create argumentativeness in you. And I was so obviously false that anybody who had never argued anything would say, "What foolishness. It is day. There is no need to argue, it is so obvious." And still you said, "Yes, Master, it is night." Your trust is deep. Now I will never be argumentative with you, now I can talk truth, because you are ready."
When the heart says yes totally, then you are ready to listen. And only then the truth can be revealed to you. If even a slight no remains within you, the truth cannot be said to you, because that "no" will destroy the whole thing. The no, howsoever small, is powerful, very powerful; then the truth will be said but it will not be revealed to you. The no will hide it again.
That's why I say all debates are futile. And that's why I go on repeating again and again that the whole effort of philosophy has been useless. It has not reached any conclusion - it cannot.
I will tell you one story, then I will enter this Zen anecdote.
Once it happened, a great prime minister of a very great emperor died. The prime minister was rare, very intelligent, almost wise, very cunning, shrewd, a great diplomat, and it was very difficult to find a substitute. The whole kingdom was searched. All the ministers were sent to find at least three people; then the final decision will be taken and one of them will be chosen.

Part-time jobs are all around us, yet few people think about them. In all the talk of the economy and layoffs, part-time work gets ignored. Conversations concerning jobs rarely take into account people who don't work a standard 40-hour work week.
The definition of a part-time worker, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is anyone who works between one and 34 hours each week. Ever industry employs part-time workers in some capacity. Professions in the administrative, retail and customer service fields are often the first ones you think of when discuss part-time works. While those part-time positions are some of the most popular, many therapists, dentists and pharmacists choose to work less than 35 hours each week.
Anyone with a part-time job understands that these positions aren't just for teenagers saving up cash to buy a car or college students who can't work 40 hours a week. (If you do fall into one of those two categories, however, a part-time job is a great solution for you.) According to the BLS, more than 27.2 million Americans work part time. Workers between the ages of 25 and 54 are the largest amount (12.8 million) of part-time workers. The amount of women working part time is nearly twice that of men, with 9.7 million male part-time workers compared to 17.5 million females.
In fact, part-time jobs offer several benefits few people consider:
· Flexible schedules
· A chance to learn more about an industry before pursuing a full-time career in it
· Additional income for workers who work one or more other jobs
· Often more available positions than full-time positions

The ideal gift for the caveman in your life! These beautiful hand-crafted cufflinks are made from a stunning piece of fossilised Iguanodon Dinosaur Bone from the Isle Of Wight. Plant-eating Iguanodons were large dinosaurs capable of walking on two legs or on all four. Their outstanding fesb used for defence or perhaps foraging, three middle fingers and a grasping fifth finger. Iguanodons were one of the first dinosaurs ever described and artistic impressions have changed much with each new discovery. Currently, it's thought they held the head low to the ground and their long, heavy tail in the air for balance rather than vice versa. Herds of Iguanodon - the different species varying in size - flourished in Europe and North America during the lower Cretaceous period.
