SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Staying here last year on New Year's Eve, Illinois State's basketball team found no escaping the First Night Springfield midnight fireworks display from their hotel.
Maybe watching the sky light up for the second straight year will inspire the Redbirds' sagging shooting fortunes.
It couldn't hurt.
ISU senior Austin Hill insists he is not worried about the Redbirds' month-long shooting slump heading into Saturday's 7:05 p.m. game against surging Missouri State at JQH Arena.
"You can't get down on yourself and lose your faith. Once you lose your faith, there goes the season," said Hill, who leads ISU with a 10.7-point average. "We have to keep pushing. That's all we can do."
The Redbirds (8-4) shot 35.8 percent from the field in a 64-53 loss to Creighton on Wednesday in the Missouri Valley Conference opener. ISU hasn't topped the 46-percent mark in its last eight games while averaging a meager 58.1 points and is shooting 29 percent from 3-point range on the season.
"The unique thing about our team is we have 10 guys who have had double-figure (scoring) nights and really played well offensively," said ISU coach Tim Jankovich. "But to be a good team in a conference like ours you have to have four or five every night. We just haven't managed to put that together."
There might not be a worse time to play Missouri State, which has hopes of winning its first Valley title since joining the league in 1990.
The Bears (9-3) are coming off an emotional 58-57 victory at Northern Iowa three days ago thanks to Kyle Weems' 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds left. That snapped their 11-game road losing streak and broke UNI's 21-game homecourt winning streak.
"For us it's a big win for our program," said Missouri State coach Cuonzo Martin after the game.
Missouri State is a veteran team that starts four seniors and a fourth-year junior in the 6-foot-6 Weems, who figures to be in the running for Valley Player of the Year honors. The Bears have won 15 straight at JQH Arena, which isn't good news for ISU in its Valley road debut for several players.
Weems had four straight 20-point plus games before being held to 12 at UNI. But, he made up for that by hitting the biggest shot of his career. The Redbirds probably will start with 6-9 sophomore John Wilkins guarding Weems.
"It's always hard because he's a great shooter and now he's turned into a great player," said Jankovich. "He has great feel. He's a scorer now and has a lot of savvy. He's really a tough matchup for everybody."
Jankovich said he might tweak the ISU lineup in an effort to get more scoring punch, but added "to make major changes would be crazy."
"There's no question if anything they're trying too hard and want it too badly," he said. "That's not an easy thing to fix that mentality. I don't fault anyone for that. That's why I always go back to only control what you can control — and that's effort, attitude, attention to detail, commitment to defense, rebounding and blocking out."
Unless the offense picks up, the Redbirds realistically could be staring at a 0-6 start in the Valley.
ISU has road games at Indiana State (Tuesday) and Southern Illinois (Jan. 9) along with home games against league favorite Wichita State (Friday) and two-time defending champion UNI (Jan. 12) in the next two weeks.
"I think we'll be all right. We need to just keep working at it. It's a long season," said Hill. "Guys are not hitting shots right now, but eventually they're going to fall. We've got some good shooters on the team. Eventually it's going to come around."

Zenit St Petersburg would welcome return of Andrey Arshavin
Tuesday 26 April 2011
Andrey Arshavin would be welcome back at Zenit St Petersburg if Arsenal decide to sell the striker, the Russian club have confirmed.
Arshavin is one of several Gunners players who have been linked with the Emirates Stadium exit at the end of what is set to be another trophyless season for Arsene Wenger's men.
Arsenal bought Arshavin for around £15million just over two years ago and the Russian star enjoyed a promising start to life in London.
But he has been inconsistent this season, scoring just six times in 34 Premier League appearances, and there have also been reports he is unsettled.
Now Zenit have suggested they could be ready to bring him back to Russia if given any encouragement to do so.
Sporting director Igor Korneev told talkSPORT: "Zenit's doors are always open for Andrey.
"If his situation at Arsenal does not improve and he's not comfortable in London, we can study this issue in time for next season."
Other players to be linked with moves away from Arsenal are Gael Clichy, Nicklas Bendtner, Emmanuel Eboue, Denilson, Tomas Rosicky and Manuel Almunia.

North Loop homes for sale
Also known as the Warehouse District, the North Loop neighborhood in the heart of Minneapolis is a great place for residents to call home. It is part of the greater Hennepin County and its borders are Hennepin Avenue, Plymouth Avenue, 4th Street and the Mississippi River. Washington Avenue is the main roadway that goes through the neighborhood and most of the roads are at a 45 degree angle throughout the community so that they run parallel to the river. One of the features that the North Loop neighborhood has to offer is the James Rice Park. This is a park located along the banks of the Mississippi River in the northeastern section of the neighborhood. During the summer months, many North Loop residents take advantage of the walking and biking trail that runs through the park as a section of the greater Grand Rounds Scenic Byway. The views seen from these trails are picturesque and breathtaking. The park recently added a playground for the kids so it's a great place for the entire family.

Woman attacked after van ride
Relevant offers
A woman driven to the outskirts of Palmerston North and allegedly raped has told a court about the ordeal.
''If I had a knife with me I would have murdered him,'' said the woman who was alone in The Square when a man offered her accommodation for the night.
Instead she was given a lift in a ''disgusting van''.
''And he was disgusting,'' she said of the attacker – alleged to be Linton mechanic Tony Russell Wells, 32.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the Palmerston North District Court yesterday about what happened to her in the early hours of March 20, 2003.
She was stuck in town after a ride home did not work out when a man approached and offered her a place to stay.
Instead of taking the woman to his mother's as promised, she said the man drove her to an isolated road near the airport where he raped and violated her.
He then dropped her back in town.
Wells is accused of being the attacker.
He is facing one charge each of rape and sexual violation dating from that night in a trial before Judge Les Atkins and a jury.
He also faces two further sexual violation charges from a night in November 2006 where he is accused of picking up a woman walking home from town after drinking.
The Crown says Wells drove the woman, aged in her late teens, outside the city, violated her and dropped her home.
Wells has previously admitted a sexual violation charge when in September 2007 he picked up a woman, also aged in her late teens, drove her to the outskirts of Palmerston North and violated her.
But she fought back, punching and scratching him. She also noted his number plate, enabling police to find him.
Wells was charged with the 2003 attack on the back of DNA and fingerprint matches with a used condom and condom wrapper found near the scene.
The woman attacked in that incident said she went to the police but did not think they would believe her.
''Bloody mental health [services] have given me an image. When I've had stuff stolen police didn't believe me,'' she said.
''I thought, I have to do something. This man might do it again.''
The woman said what happened to her left her feeling empty and the man had taken advantage of her.
''He looked quite respectable, but not good-looking at all,'' she said.
When questioned by defence lawyer Simon Hewson, the woman said she was feeling low that night after an unfortunate series of events in her personal life.
She confirmed that after making the original complaint she told police not to pursue the matter and heard nothing more about it until late 2008 when she was told of new forensic evidence.
At that time she was shown a photo montage of possible attackers, including Wells, but did not think any of the men was her attacker.
''I didn't want to make an absolute decision. I didn't want to make a mistake and have the wrong man arrested,'' she said.
The trial continues.

If you thought Bellator MMA was just going to roll over on Sept. 5, you better think again.
Bellator MMA is not going down without a fight.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) scheduled its upcoming UFC Fight Night 50 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on FOX Sports 1 from the Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Ledyard, Conn., the same night Spike TV airs its Bellator 123 fight card at Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino in Uncasville.
And both promotions are bringing their A game for the Friday night face off.
That's what's sorely missed in MMA these days -- competition -- because it brings out the best in everybody. So with UFC delivering a pay-per-view (PPV) quality card on free television with "Mousasi vs. Souza 2" (see it here), Bellator MMA will also put its best foot forward with "Curran vs. Pitbull 2."
Thanks, Scott Coker.
Also joining the Spike TV broadcast is a heavyweight match up pitting former UFC standout Cheick Kongo against heavy-hitting Strikeforce veteran Lavar Johnson. In addition, part-time pro wrestler Bobby Lashley makes his promotion debut against Josh Burns.
And let's not overlook the return of Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal, finally free of dick-riding promoters.
Here is the current Bellator 123 fight card and line up:
Bellator Featherweight Title Fight: Pat Curran (20-5) vs. Patricio Pitbull (21-2)
Bellator Heavyweight Feature Fight: Cheick Kongo (21-9) vs. Lavar Johnson (18-9)
Bellator Light Heavyweight Feature Fight: King Mo (12-4) vs. Tom DeBlass (9-2)
Bellator Heavyweight Feature Fight: Bobby Lashley (10-2) vs. Josh Burns (8-7)
Bellator Featherweight Title Fight: Pat Curran (20-5) vs. Patricio Pitbull (21-2)
Bellator Heavyweight Feature Fight: Cheick Kongo (21-9) vs. Lavar Johnson (18-9)
Bellator Light Heavyweight Feature Fight: King Mo (12-4) vs. Tom DeBlass (9-2)
Bellator Heavyweight Feature Fight: Bobby Lashley (10-2) vs. Josh Burns (8-7)
Goodbye tournament, hello "big fights."
Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.com, Bellator.com or by visiting the Mohegan Sun Box Office.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more Bellator 123 announcements in the coming weeks.

GENEVA, Ill.- Despite owning the lead for basically the entire ball game, the Cougars pulled out a close victory over the Silver Hawks by a score of 5-3 in front of 10,163 at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark Thursday evening. The Cougars (21-11, 66-36) guaranteed another series victory at home and can sweep South Bend (19-13, 59-42) on Friday.
Twice the Silver Hawks tied the ball game from the Cougars' one-run advantages, but South Bend never grabbed a lead. Jacob Rogers and Ben Carhart both put the Cougars on top in the first and third innings before South Bend evened things up twice.
The most productive inning for the Cougars came in the fifth when they scored two runs. Trey Martin led off the inning with a single. Martin moved to third on a stolen base and a throwing error by Silver Hawks' starter Johnny Omahen (4-5). The Cougars combined for three more straight singles as Carlos Penalver and Carhart drove in runs for a two-run lead.
After South Bend trimmed the lead down to one, Michael Heesch found some trouble in the eighth inning. The Cougar left-hander came in relief of Jen-Ho Tseng (6-0) but served up a leadoff double to Stryker Trahan. A passed ball moved Trahan to third, but Heesch retired the next two hitters. A pitching change brought James Pugliese to the mound, but Penalver's excellent play at short ended the inning to maintain the Cougars' 4-3 lead.
Rogers added an insurance run in the bottom of the frame with the team's only extra-base hit of the ninth. The Cougar first baseman took Nick Sarianides deep to dead center for a solo blast, his 11th home run of the year.
Pugliese retired the Silver Hawks in order in the ninth for his third save of the year.
The Cougars will go for the sweep over the Silver Hawks on Friday at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark at 6:30 p.m. The Cougars will get their first look at right-hander Ben Wells against South Bend's Blake Perry (5-2, 3.87). For tickets call 630-232-8811 or visit kccougars.com.

Pictures of nVidia's 3D Glasses leak out
Well CES kicked off today so the news will be full of interesting products. Our first article comes from Charlie Demerjian at the Inq.
It seems that Charlie was able to get a shot of nVidia's new 3D Glasses while checking out a projection system from Samsung.
These new glasses are very cheap looking (remind me of something found on a gas station sunglass rack) and if Charlie is right won't be great performers either.
Take a look for yourself here.
They were being demo'd on a Mitsubishi rear projection TV, one of the few that are certified at this time. I guess we don't understand the point of tying your product to a projection TV when every sane person has abandoned them for LCDs.
Maybe it is just us, but this is so 1990's.

Is nVidia choosing the wrong tech for 3D Glasses?
nVidia is still having a rough time, Not with GPUs and MCH chips. No this time it seems they are going in the wrong direction with their newest 3D Glasses.
If you have ever tried a pair of these (not just from nVidia) they are not exactly the easiest thing on the eyes. They usually consist of a pair of glasses that are little more than small displays that alternate the image between your town eyes creating a 3D Effect. The last pair I used gave me a headache that lasted a couple of days.
According to Charlie Demerjian; nVidia is using a similar technology to the migraine inducing ones I remember. The Green team are choosing this technology at a time when everyone else is moving away from active glasses for that very reason.
Read more at The Inquirer.
NVIDIA IS BANGING the 3D drum with their new glasses called GeForce 3D Vision, but they are entirely missing the point. In typical fashion they are going about it not only the wrong way, but trying to counter the direction of the entire consumer electronics industry.
The technology they are using is active shutter glasses, something that went out of style when sane companies realised the costs involved. This is not to say it doesn't work, it does, but they are jacking the costs up for consumers in a way that doesn't make sense, halving the effective frame rate, and inserting a host of other problems as well.

Zalman finally launches 3D displays
At Computex earlier this year Zalman was showing its upcoming 3D displays and they've finally launched them. We're looking at a 19 and a 22-incher and we're not sure if Zalman has come up with Trimon name as a play on Trinitron or Pokemon. Either which way, these new 3D display requires you to wear a pair of glasses for them to work and you need to use an Nvidia graphics card.
You might wonder about the latter requirement and the answer is simple, Zalman relies on Nvidia's 3D stereoscopic driver, which is flaky at best. At least the glasses you get with the Zalman displays look more like a pair of naff shades than something really nerdy as early types of stereoscopic glasses with LCD shutters used to be like.
For some odd reason, Zalman has decided to go with a traditional square 19-inch display with a native resolution of 1,280x1,024 while the 22-inch model is widescreen and does 1,680x1,050. Both displays features a DVI and a D-sub connector and are supplied with all the cables needed plus the 3D glasses. Both models also features a pair of built in 2W speakers, but we can't see any gamer that'll really want to use them.
There are some real downsides to using these displays if you've got a multi-core system, as several games are limited to only using one core and you have to disable the rest, which is simply just pathetic. You can also only play games at full screen resolution, as otherwise the 3D effect doesn't work. You're also limited to using a GeForce 5, 6 or 7-series card, as the 8-series isn't supported and if you've got Windows Vista, well then you can forget about it all together, at least until next year when Nvidia is expected to release a new driver.
Apparently you can use any graphics card if you want to watch videos in 3D with these displays but it seems like a bit of a waste of money to us. Zalman has a list of supported games and if they work with multi-core CPU's or not as well as with what display and what resolution they work with and currently this list consists of less than 40 games.
If you're still interested, then you can find the product pages here and here

2900GT from Club 3D out now
Club 3D has announced the availability of its HD2900 GT Heatpipe graphics card and the specs aren't far off from what we reported on here. The specifications don't differ significantly from what we already knew and the Club 3D card looks very much like a reference card with a sticker on it. None the less, the Radeon HD2900 GT is here.
As we mentioned, the GPU is clocked at 600MHz and it's based on the ATI R600 GPU. It has 240 stream processors and a 256-bit memory interface. It's of course a 256MB card and the GDDR3 memory is again as we told you earlier, clocked at 800MHz or 1,600MHz effectively.
On an interesting note, the PCB of the card on the picture above is not the same as the one used for the 2900 XT/Pro, as it only features an 8-pin PCI Express power connector and it has some odd holes at the rear that looks very much like screw holes. The power regulation also seems to have been redesigned, but the card appears to use the same heatpipe cooling as the other 2900-series cards.
Club 3D will ship a DVI to HDMI and a DVI to D-sub adapter with the card as well as an S-Video and a component video out cable and a Crossfire bridge connector. We don't have a price or an exact date of availability as yet.

Quake-shattered tiles replicated
Relevant offers
Christchurch Earthquake 2011
New Regent St's characteristic tile work has been almost fully restored after almost two months' work by a Christchurch firm.
Ambience Tiling co-owner John Turner said the company worked with Auckland-based tile supplier SCE Stone & Design which managed to find a Chinese manufacturer to machine replicate the tiles.
The original tiles were handpainted by English ceramics company Mintons.
Four pallets of replacement tiles were ordered from China for those broken or damaged originals.
About 10,500 tiles were produced and they were good copies of the originals, Turner said.
There were differences, but it was difficult to perfectly recreate the colour and shape of handmade tiles which had weathered over decades, he said.
"It's a nice job to be involved in . . . and to be involved in putting something back into Christchurch that's part of the heritage of the city is really quite good."
The job should be finished this week, he said.
But there are five shops which have not been restored under a unified street restoration project run by contractor Naylor Love. Another two independently restored units have already been completed including tile work.
SCE Stone & Design South Island director Johnny Harrison said the main tiles had been machine-painted, but the smaller pieces had been handpainted.
"It was quite a large and unique order."
Christchurch City Council heritage team leader Philip Barrett's unit was tasked with making sure the street's restoration kept the original's spirit and the tiles were a significant part of that, he said.
"The process is more mechanised than opposed to the artist mixing the colours themselves, it was always going to be impossible [to make them identical]."
Dave Margetts, of the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, said the trust had put $108,000 towards the restoration and strengthening project, spread equally among the unit owners under the Naylor Love scheme.

The fastest car ever built is slowly taking shape in Rosco McGlashan's Perth garage.
The fastest car ever built is slowly taking shape in Rosco McGlashan's Perth garage.
He is preparing to better the 1228 km/h world land speed record in a rocket-powered showdown against a British team.
When completed, his sleek, seven-metre steel missile on wheels, powered by four rocket thrusters - the Aussie Invader 5R - will be able to accelerate from a standing start to 1000 mph (1600 km/h) in just 20 seconds.
The British entrant - the Bloodhound - is better funded but more complicated. It has three separate engine types crowded into its fuselage. Both cars will be capable of breaking the sound barrier - 1236 km/h.
The race is now on to see which car will be ready to roll first. The Australian entry is on track but needs about $3 million in sponsorship to finish the job and pay for the enormous amounts of jet fuel required.
''Our car is beautifully simple,'' Mr McGlashan said. ''Theirs is obviously a nightmare, with three different engines on it.''
The showdown probably won't take place until 2011, as both teams struggle through technical and financial challenges.
''There's a very good chance they might be up and running before us but I'm 1000 per cent certain that, when it comes down to it, our car is better and it will see us win,'' Mr McGlashan said.
The all-time land speed record is held by British fighter pilot Andy Green, who reached 1228 km/h in the Nevada desert in a turbofan-powered car in 1997. The same designers are behind Bloodhound.
The showdown will probably take place on a dry mud lake in South Africa - one of the few places in the world where you can find a flat, hard surface stretching for at least 25 kilometres.
The cars are so fast that a stray animal, a slight bump or even a single pebble could result in a catastrophic accident. ''You are travelling so fast that you see the curvature of the earth, it's like driving a normal car over a hill,'' said Mr McGlashan, a 40-year veteran of speed records and drag racing.
The Aussie Invader 5R is heavy, weighing nearly seven tonnes without fuel. The steel shell is 12 millimetres thick, making it more heavily armoured than the fighting vehicles the Australian Army is using in Afghanistan.
So why spend so much time and money, and face life-threatening risks, to drive a car for 20 seconds?
''It's not a really useful thing, but it's about inspiring people and achieving something,'' Mr McGlashan said. ''When the Wright brothers started building their first aeroplane, people were probably asking what the point of it all is.
''We hope Australia gets really proud of this team once it starts running. We're going to build it up into something really fantastic.''

Jersey City, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - Marvin Dominique netted 20 points, grabbed six rebounds and blocked four shots as the St. Peter's Peacocks disposed of the Monmouth Hawks, 61-50, in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tilt at Yanitelli Center.
Desi Washington chipped in 17 points and five rebounds for St. Peter's (9-14, 5-9 MAAC), which has won two games in a row. Chris Burke pulled down a team- high seven boards in the win.
Andrew Nicholas scored 16 points to pace Monmouth (10-15, 4-10), adding seven rebounds to his stat line. Deon Jones contributed 15 points and nine boards in the loss, which was the fifth in a row for the Hawks.
Monmouth shot 38.2 percent from the floor in the first half, and went 1-of-4 from 3-point range, but still took a 30-16 lead into the intermission. St. Peter's shot a miserable 27.3 percent from the floor in the frame, going 1- of-11 from 3-point distance.
The Peacocks came storming back in the second half, connecting on 53.6 percent of their shot attempts and outscoring the Hawks, 45-20, in the period. Monmouth went a dismal 17.9 percent from the floor, including 0-of-10 from deep.
Monmouth hit just one of its 14 3-point attempts in the game, while St. Peter's hit seven. The Hawks had the edge in points in the paint, 30-26.
Vanderbilt quarterback Patton Robinette said Friday he is walking away from football to enter medical school.
Regan Smith substituted for Kyle Larson in the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet in Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway after Larson was sidelined due to additional medical tests following his fainting spell on Saturday.
If contradiction was an Olympic sport, Chip Kelly would certainly be medal-worthy judging by his performance at the NFL's owners meeting but the Eagles coach might have to settle for silver because Daniel Snyder's critics will take the gold every time.
There isn't much after that. The Miami Marlins are loaded up for a playoff push -- likely through a wild card spot -- and the New York Mets are up-and- coming but still raw. The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, former powerhouses of the division, are going through rebuilds and won't contend anytime soon.
The Los Angeles Clippers have signed guard Lester Hudson to a 10-day contract.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Literacy-Sensitive Self-Management Intervention for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

Low literacy skills are common and associated with a variety of poor health outcomes. This may be particularly important in patients with chronic illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that require appropriate inhaler technique to maintain quality of life and avoid exacerbations.
To explore the impact of a literacy-sensitive self-management intervention on inhaler technique scores in COPD patients and to determine if effects differ by literacy.
Randomized controlled trial.
Ninety-nine patients with COPD.
Patients were randomly assigned to a one-on-one self-management educational intervention or usual care. The intervention focused on inhaler technique, smoking cessation, and using a COPD action plan.
Main Measures
At baseline, an inhaler technique assessment, literacy assessment, health-related quality of life questionnaires, and pulmonary function tests were completed. Inhaler technique was re-evaluated after two to eight weeks.
Key Results
Mean age 63, 65% female, 69% Caucasian, moderate COPD severity on average, 36% with low literacy, moderately impaired health-related quality of life, and similar baseline metered dose inhaler technique scores. Patients in the intervention group had greater mean improvement from baseline in metered dose inhaler technique score compared to those in the usual care group (difference in mean change 2.1, 95% CI 1.1, 3.0). The patients in the intervention group also had greater mean improvements in metered dose inhaler technique score than those in the usual care group whether they had low health literacy (difference in mean change 2.8, 95% CI 0.6, 4.9) or higher health literacy (1.8, 95% CI 0.7, 2.9).
A literacy-sensitive self-management intervention can lead to improvements in inhaler technique, with benefits for patients with both low and higher health literacy.
