Clippers 102, Sacramento 93
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 12/29/06, 11:21pm:
The Kaman piece is huge for this team. It really is. We armchair analysts like to talk about how shooters can stretch the floor. What can a couple of competent big men on either block do? Create a defensive concavity on the floor that requires an opponent to shift everything low. With the exception of the Thomas-Radmanovic swap and Cassell's p.f., the personnel hasn't changed from the postseason squad. The different is that the Clippers haven't been forcing teams into a brutish half-court grind. You know, the kind of game in which the teams combine for five fast break points because so much of the action is occurring below the foul line. The Clippers won last season because they presented a unique challenge to opponents: A bifurcated attack down low [anchored primarily by an eager, confident, quick-releasing Elton Brand] along with unusually physical players on the wing who also use their superior size and strength by posting and drawing contact. Remember those guys?
I'm not suggesting that a home win over a beleaguered Sacramento team is anything to stick in the scrapbook. The Kings have nobody who demands a true double-team, which frees up the Clips to play their offensive unit for long stretches. The Clippers also turned the ball over way, way too much. But what I saw tonight at Staples Center was the closest thing to a facsimile of last year's formula.
Back to Kaman for a sec. He isn't patshking around in the lane after he receives the ball. While I have absolutely no way of knowing for certain, doesn't it seem like the less Kaman deliberates, the cleaner the shot? The other key for Kaman right now, which he achieved tonight is Blocks ≥ Turnovers. Tonight: 3 Blocks, 2 Turnovers. But the ultimate litmus test of Kaman's effectiveness, the factor that will tell you everything you need to know --- is the opponent sending a double-team? Tonight, they did.
The old Clipper defense showed up. Even without Ross, the Clippers --- Mobley and Livingston, really --- held Kevin Martin to a modest 14 points on 3-11 from the floor. I didn't spot too many blown rotations. Most of the brainfarts tonight resulted in Sacramento blow-bys, largely on nifty dives to the basket off of elbow screens and such. [I know he hasn't had much success, but I like Eric Musselman.]
When Corey rebounds, plays off the ball, and doesn't turn it over, he's a phenomenally efficient player. Readers of this here weblog will attest that Clipperblog is not one to overestimate Corey's value. And I'm well aware that Ron Artest showed nothing tonight so it's easy to tilt this hypothetical conveniently in Corey's favor. Having said that, I don't understand what the organization would accomplish by a Maggette-Artest swap. Artest can't shoot the ball from any distance and he's no better a rebounder than Corey. His ability to guard big men would be a nice tool in the shed, but no more useful than a slasher who can manufacture points from the line. Finally, while Corey occasionally pouts, Ron Artest is a congenital sociopath. I have no problem parting with Corey, but not if the Clips can't address their most pressing need.

His SR-276 Potash Road won Parade Magazine's most scenic highway opened in the U.S. in 1966. He received awards for Eagle Canyon, White Canyon, Colorado and Dirty Devil bridges. He served as district two engineer in SLC, where he supervised the design and construction of I-215 and I-80.
He retired in 1986 as chief of roadway design for the state of Utah.
He enjoyed white-water rafting, gardening, exploring the southern Utah desert, traveling the world with his wife, skiing, hunting and many camping activities with his family.
As an Eagle Scout and leader, he took many young men on high-adventure outings.
He served in various capacities in the LDS Church, including, high council, bishop of the Carbonville LDS Ward and the last 11 years in the Bountiful LDS Temple.
Of all his accomplishments, he was the most proud of his family.

Wonderstruckby Brian Selznick
Staff Pick
Wonderstruck is a treasure of a book. A master artist and storyteller, Selznick beautifully weaves together the lives of Ben and Rose. Set 50 years apart, their stories, one told in pictures and one in words, each take them on journeys that lead to the Natural History Museum in New York. It is an emotionally moving story that was a joy to read.
"Selznick's follow-up, Wonderstruck, is a slower, more ruminative book, less intricately constructed than Hugo Cabret but gentler in spirit. Once again, Selznick alternates text with pencil illustrations; this time the text tells one story while the pictures tell another, though at the end the stories intersect nicely." Dan Kois, NPR (Read the entire NPR review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Playing with the form he created in his trailblazing debut novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Brian Selznick once again sails into uncharted territory and takes readers on an awe-inspiring journey.
Ben and Rose secretly wish their lives were different. Ben longs for the father he has never known. Rose dreams of a mysterious actress whose life she chronicles in a scrapbook. When Ben discovers a puzzling clue in his mother's room and Rose reads an enticing headline in the newspaper, both children set out alone on desperate quests to find what they are missing.
Set fifty years apart, these two independent stories — Ben's told in words, Rose's in pictures — weave back and forth with mesmerizing symmetry. How they unfold and ultimately intertwine will surprise you, challenge you, and leave you breathless with wonder. Rich, complex, affecting, and beautiful — with over 460 pages of original artwork — Wonderstruck is a stunning achievement from a uniquely gifted artist and visionary.
"Selznick follows his Caldecott-winning The Invention of Hugo Cabret with another illustrated novel that should cement his reputation as one of the most innovative storytellers at work today. Ben and Rose are both hearing-impaired. He is 12 in 1977; she is the same age 50 years earlier. Selznick tells their story in prose and pictures beginning with Ben, living (unhappily) with his aunt and uncle, 83 steps from the Minnesota lake cabin he shared with his librarian mother until her death in a car accident three months earlier. He has never met his father, but has reason to believe he may live in New York. As in Hugo Cabret, a significant part of the story is told in sequential illustrations, most of which depict the even unhappier Rose, whose movie star mother has remarried, leaving her daughter with her ex-husband in New Jersey. Both children run away to Manhattan seeking something from their respective absent parents. It takes several hundred pages and a big chunk of exposition to connect these two strands, but they converge in an emotionally satisfying way. Selznick masterfully uses pencil and paper like a camera, starting a sequence with a wide shot and zooming in on details on successive pages. Key scenes occur when the runaways find themselves in one of Manhattan's storied museums, and with one character named Jamie, and Rose's surname being Kincaid, it's impossible not to think of E.L. Konigsburg's From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, to which Selznick tips his hat in an author's note. Like that Newbery winner, Selznick's story has the makings of a kid-pleasing classic. Ages 9 — up. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

About the Author
Hello there. My name is Brian Selznick and I'm the author and illustrator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I was born in 1966 in New Jersey. I have a sister who is a teacher, a brother who is a brain surgeon, and five nephews and one niece. My first book, The Houdini Box, which I both wrote and illustrated, was published in 1991 while I was still working at the bookstore. Since then, I have illustrated many books for children, including Frindle by Andrew Clements, The Doll People by Ann Martin and Laura Godwin, Amelia and Eleanor Go for a Ride by Pam Muñoz Ryan and The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins by Barbara Kerley, which received a 2001 Caldecott Honor. I live in Brooklyn, New York, and San Diego, California.

Galfer Superbike Front Wave Rotors
Galfer Superbike Wave Rotors are made from the same high-carbon 420 Stainless Steel as their standard wave rotors, but are cryo-treated and feature alternating diagonal slots which create a push & pull force for greater air flow. The vented slot design has also carried over, which aids in cooling and removal of water.
All Galfer Superbike Wave Rotors are stress tested using a COSMOS analyzing system. Each rotor design goes through an extensive brake dyno test which allows evaluation of its performance in extreme conditions. The patented Wave design includes not only an outer Wave but also an inner Wave which dissipates and equalizes heat transfer much faster. Full floating buttons and a 7071 Aluminum center carrier ensure optimum pad to rotor contact for maximum stopping force and feel.
These rotors are constantly tested by Moto2 and AMA Superbike teams, just look in any racing paddock.
Note: Image for reference only. Actual Galfer Superbike Wave Rotors may vary depending on your bike.

Java Serialization is one of important concept but it's been rarely used as persistence solution and developer mostly overlooked Java serialization API. As per my experience Java Serialization is quite an important topic in any core Java interview, In almost all the interview I have faced there is one or two Java serialization questions and I have seen interview where after few question on serialization candidate start feeling uncomfortable because of lack of experience in this area. They don't know How to serialize object in Java or they are not familiar with any Java Serialization example to explain, forget about questions like Difference between transient and volatile variable or Difference between Externalizable and Serializable in Java. In this article we will question from both beginner and advanced level, which can be equally beneficial to freshers, new comers and senior Java developers with some years of Java development experience.
10 Interview questions on Serialization in JavaMost commercial project uses either database or memory mapped file or simply flat file for there persistence requirement and only few of them rely on serialization process in Java. Anyway this post is not a Java serialization tutorial or how to serialize object in java but about interview questions around serialization mechanism and Serialization API, Which is worth to have a look before going for any Java or J2EE interview and surprising yourself with some unknown contents. for those who are not familiar about java Serialization "Java serialization is the process which is used to serialize object in java by storing object's state into a file with extension .ser and recreating object's state from that file, this reverse process is called deserialization.
Top 20 design pattern interview questions, and 10 Interview questions on Singleton Pattern in Java So here we go.

Sock it to em.
All these who buy gas that is. The oil companies have no morals or conscience. They do have big bank accounts though.
The storage tanks in Salt Lake City are full and the fuel that has been refined in them for how long, only they know.
The gas is delivered to your local stations. So how long does it sit in those tanks? Depends on sales.
How in good conscience can they raise the Price every day when your cost was determined weeks ago? Shame on them.
Fortunately we have no real shortage to go along with the prices. (Keep it coming Wyoming).
And what about those shortages. I have 10 spark plugs (but any product will work in this example) that sell for a dollar each. When I get down to five in my inventory (a shortage) is it ok to get $1.50 for them? That would be guaranteed income.
All we can do is complain. The oil companies won't change anything. They just get to say, sock it to em.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health disorder. If you have BDD, you may be so upset about the appearance of your body, that it interferes with your ability to function normally. Many of us have what we perceive as a flaw in our appearance—but if you have BDD, your reaction to this "flaw" may become overwhelming.
You may find that negative thoughts about your body are hard to control. You may even spend hours each day worrying about how you look. Your thinking can become so negative and persistent, you may think about suicide at times.
You can become obsessed with any part of your body, but the most common areas of upset are your face, hair, skin, chest, and stomach.
Symptoms of BDD include:
Constantly checking yourself in the mirror
Avoiding mirrors
Trying to hide your body part under a hat, scarf, or makeup
Constantly exercising or grooming
Constantly comparing yourself with others
Always asking other people whether you look OK
Not believing other people when they say you look fine
Avoiding social activities
Not going out of the house, especially in the daytime
Seeing many health care providers about your appearance
Having unnecessary plastic surgeries
Picking at your skin with fingers or tweezers
Feeling anxious, depressed, and ashamed
Thinking of suicide
Nobody knows the cause of BDD. It usually begins in your adolescence or teenage years. Experts think that about one of every 100 people has BDD. Men and women are equally affected. Factors that may contribute to BDD include:
A family history of BDD or a similar mental disorder
Abnormal levels of brain chemicals
Personality type
Life experiences
A mental health professional will diagnose BDD based on your symptoms and how much they affect your life.
To be diagnosed with BDD:
You must be abnormally concerned about a small or nonexistent body flaw
Your thoughts about your body flaw must be severe enough that they interfere with your ability to function normally
Other mental health disorders must be ruled out as a cause of your symptoms
Other mental health disorders that are common in people with BDD include obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
Treatment for BDD may include talk therapy or medications. The best treatment is probably a combination of the two. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most effective talk therapy. In CBT, you work with a mental health professional to replace negative thoughts and thought patterns with positive thoughts. The antidepressant drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors usually work best for BDD.
The best way to prevent BDD from becoming a serious problem is to catch it early. BDD tends to get worse with age. Plastic surgery to correct a body flaw rarely helps. If you have a child or teenager who seems overly worried about his or her appearance and needs constant reassurance, talk with your health care provider. If you have symptoms of BDD yourself, talk with your health care provider or a mental health professional.

text: I have to disagree. I say kill everyone of those taliban monkeys, cut off their heads, and put them in a monument commemerating (however you spell that) the deaths of our fallen comrades. Show it to the world as a display of what happens when you fuck with us. If the government had the guts to do stuff like that, you know damn well these piss ant countries wouldn't fuck with us anymore.The biggest problem with dealing with bin Laden is the fact that, no matter how he ends up dead, the radical faction of the Muslim fundimentalist movement is going to make him a martyer. The perception (as I understand it) is not if he won a war with us, but that he stood up to us. Saddam was tooting his horn right after the Gulf war. He said (in effect) "Look at me! I stood up to the whole western coalition!" His people ate it up. Bin Laden WILL be a martyer, so the wisest thing we can do is capture him, try him and put him in the deepest, darkest hole we can find. That makes him a captive, not a martyer. Kinda takes the wind out of any argument that al-Quida might have about murdering their leader, and it's all nice and legal. I wonder how long he can survive on bread and water?

Members of the Price Lions Club recently made a trip to the Boy Scouts of America summer camp at Scofield to work on the Trading Post.
The Trading Post was placed at the camp through the Price Lions and the club tries to maintain the building on a regular basis.
The building is a favorite among scouts because the Trading Post sells items such as stamps, craft supply items, soda, and candy.
The project was headed by Barry Cook of the Price Lions Club.
The members of the Price Lions completed the project just as the camp training meeting was about to serve dinner. The members were invited to eat with the group and enjoyed a program before returning to Price.
The Scofield camps will serve hundreds of scouts from across Utah and surrounding areas in the summer.
When asked "Why varnish the post?" Lion Cardell Sackett replied, "Even a barn door looks better with a fresh coat of paint."
The men stayed at the post all afternoon until the entire outside had been treated and varnished. It was a successful project that paid off with some delicious pumpkin and cherry pie.
The Lions are an international service organization involved in many projects throughout the world.

About emergency calls and Emergency Callback Mode
If you are outside of a wireless coverage area and the SOS wireless coverage indicator appears at the top of the screen, you can call only emergency numbers. Your BlackBerry® device is designed to allow emergency calls even when your device is locked. Depending on your device model and the wireless network that your device is connected to, your device is also designed to allow emergency calls when the SIM card is not inserted. If the connection to the wireless network is turned off when you initiate an emergency call, your device is designed to connect to the wireless network automatically. You can make emergency calls by typing only official emergency access numbers (for example, 911 or 112).
If your device is connected to a CDMA network, when you end an emergency call, your device enters Emergency Callback Mode. This mode allows the operator to call you back or find your approximate location. Depending on your wireless service provider, Emergency Callback Mode is active for 5 minutes or until you make a non-emergency call. In Emergency Callback Mode, you cannot send and receive messages or browse web pages.
If your device supports GPS and you make an emergency call, an emergency operator might be able to use GPS technology to find your approximate location.

Or if it doesn't, would you sacrifice some FPS for higher graphic properties?
Or if it doesn't, would you sacrifice some FPS for higher graphic properties?
Yes, oh my god YES!
Some people might not care and it wouldn't make a difference but I outright refuse to play almost any game that can't run higher than 30. I can tolerate 45FPS but anything lower than that really irks me and affects my gameplay.
But 30 to 60 is a huge difference, like day and night to me.
I will reduce the game to DOS-level graphics if that means I get 60FPS out of it.
Last edited by marcipaans; 02-15-2014 at 10:55 PM.
The higher the FPS the better, but I don't have any issues as long as its 30+ and stable.
as long as the fps stays stable it doesn't matter much if its 60 or not ... because you just do not want those fps spikes during a match because when they happen you get a second or half second stand stills or delays resulting in your death ...
I could barely tell the difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS.
I make sure every game I play runs at 60 fps minimum. Why? Because it means I'll be able to participate in player dense events as well as being able to record gameplay
60fps is optimal but I used to play BF3 around 35fps on my old machine. Wasn't that terrible.
After high-FPS, there is no turning-back.
At 10 FPS I rage. At 20 FPS I get really anoyed. At 30 I am fine if it's steady. At 60 makes me feel good. But I don't really notice above 30. The problem with 30 FPS is sometimes it dips to 20. I often play on lowest settings to get good framerate, and after buying a new computer never bother switching to normal rez.
How do I turn off signatures while reading?
I don't care as long as it's stable and playable. Heck, if 15FPS is stable and doesn't stutter like crazy then I wouldn't even mind that. It doesn't really matter though. My PC runs anything at 60+ atm (well, except GW2, but they ****ed up the engine )

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Oprah Winfrey says the story of "The Butler" is her story, too. She says her mother was a maid, and her grandmother was a maid, and her mother was a maid and her mother was a slave.
Winfrey says she feels "validated by their courage."
She says the movie will show a new generation what their ancestors went through to win the freedom that they have today.
The Butler opens today.

Egypt's street protests (shown in photo) — loosely based upon an online petition called the Tamarrud (loosely translated as "Rebellion") — and the looming military threat of a coup against the freely elected government of Mohammad Morsi may have both had their origins in actions of the U.S. government.
The U.S. government has financed both NGO online activism and the Egyptian military in recent years, leading to the possibility that the U.S. government could have manufactured a pincer movement against Egypt's elected government, creating "pressure from above" and "pressure from below."
Pressure From Above
The Egyptian military issued an ultimatum to the Morsi government July 1 to restore order within 48 hours, threatening a coup d'etat. This is the same Egyptian military largely trained in America, as ably summarized in a recent Foreign Policy magazine post:
In fact, the Egyptian Army — as the entire military is colloquially known there — may be one of the U.S. government's best friends in the entire Arab world. American presidents have been encouraging stability in the region for more than 30 years by making the Egyptian military the muscle behind a regional superpower — one built and trained by Washington.... Egypt's current defense chief, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, is an alum of the U.S. Army War College in Pennsylvania while the head of Egypt's air force, Reda Mahmoud Hafez Mohamed, did a tour in the United States as a liaison officer, and the recently retired head of the Egyptian navy, Mohab Mamish, did a bunch of tours in the United States. Their cases are hardly unique; more than 500 Egyptian military officers train at American military graduate schools every year. There's even a special guesthouse on T Street in northwest Washington, D.C., where visiting Egyptian military officials stay when in the American capital.... All this gives the United States quite a bit of leverage when it comes to the Egyptian military, one of the most powerful forces in Egyptian society. (Some estimate that up to 40 percent of the Egyptian economy is controlled by the military.)

Hey NeoStar01 -
google gave me this and it never lies!! i like the 2nd link best
HI Everyone,
Well I got this page from class and we are doing a bit of simple korn shell scripting, however every single example he has listed I try to run as a test to visually see how its working and none of his sample scripts work.
Does anyone know of a good link to start out with for some very basic korn shell scripting. I can get the main function of the scripts to work but to add comments the shell just ingores the comments and then goes onto the main function of the script.
Any good links would be much appreciated.
Hey NeoStar01 -
google gave me this and it never lies!! i like the 2nd link best
Howdy pbharris,
always trust your word on things. but um the linky doesn't go to a search result ;D
What key words did you use and maybe I can get he same results with the second link like you said.
Looks like the link has been munged.
Thanks guys! bookmarking and reading.
:-[ :-[
I am not able to get any scripts running at all. Even from the sample web pages.
Have even modified my profile to include in the path /bin/ksh and im not sure what is wrong.
Really frusterated not being able to even run sample scripts so i can see how it works or learn for that matter.
Any ideas? What additional info do you need? wnat me to paste my entire PATH here?
Did you make your scripts executable, like "chmod 755 myscript.sh"?
[quote author=cloverm link=board=9;threadid=4523;start=0#45835 date=1029438915]
Did you make your scripts executable, like "chmod 755 myscript.sh"?
Yes I did, did a chmod 0700 filename in habit of doing that.
if i run the script juts by typing in the filename it puts me back to the prompt.
if i try it by doing this....
ksh filename
i get this return..
ksh: test: 0403-006 Execute permission denied.
so not sure what is going on. This is sample script taking from webpage.
Thi s is not one i wrote myself, taken from above google search script page. second link. im presuming its correct otherwise they wouldn't show the example. but etither way it doesn't work on the unix server.Code:#!/bin/ksh if [[ $expr $(date +%H) \< 12) == 1 ]] then echo "Good Morning" else echo "Good afternoon" fi

Elvis, Warhol and more: Celebrity cars at Bonhams
Images by Theo Graphics, courtesy Bonhams. k.d. lang images by Evan Klein, courtesy Bonhams.
If we were to believe everything we see, then we must surmise that Elvis Presley at one point or another owned approximately half of the entire Cadillac output from the mid-Fifties to his death on the throne in 1977. It's become almost a cliche, pairing the king of rock and roll with the standard of the world, but when international auction house Bonhams features an Elvis Cadillac, it's worth taking note.
According to the description of the 1955 Cadillac Series 75 Fleetwood limousine that Bonhams will offer at its Classic California Sale, scheduled for Saturday, November 12, at the Petersen Automotive Museum, Presley – with his father, Vernon Presley, co-signing – bought the Cadillac in January 1956, repainted it from its original blue to black, then used it to transport his band to gigs around the South. It eventually made its way to the Elvis Presley Museum in the 1990s, then the Elvis-a-Rama Museum in Las Vegas, and comes with some documentation, including Presley's signature on the original owner's manual. Bonhams expects it to sell for anywhere from $100,000 to $150,000.
Elvis not your thing? Bonhams will have a number of other celebrity-linked vehicles for sale at the same auction, including a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL given by Sean Penn to then-wife Madonna, the 1967 Triumph TR6 "Desert Sled" motorcycle currently owned by singer k.d. lang, Fonzie's Triumph Trophy 500 motorcycle and one of the Lexuses from the movie Minority Report. Also crossing the block is the 1955 Packard Saga concept car.
When you pin up your 2012 calendar, mark January 19 to attend Bonhams' inaugural Scottsdale sale. At this new event, you'll find actress Marlene Dietrich's 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom, as well as pop artist Andy Warhol's surprisingly understated 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, which he purchased new, and which, admittedly, wouldn't have fared well with a Warhol-style paint scheme.
The Scottsdale sale will take place at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, near Phoenix.

"This rug couldn't be more perfect for our office waiting room. It's tough enough to handle a LOT of traffic, but doesn't look like an ugly utility rug. It's a classic design and lays very well even without the pad underneath it. I will definitely buy more rugs from this website in the future."

"I needed something under my dining room table that would wear well as all of our children and grandchildren visit so we get alot of use from this room. It is easy to clean and does not show dirt. Exactly what I was looking for as I change my dining room from formal to family friendly. There is one very small little stain which was there when we received it but quite frankly, no one but me would notice since I'm OCD!"

Vitamin E and Male Infertility

- How to Read a Study Record
The goal of this study is to determine whether there is a correlation between the levels of Vitamin E in sperm and sperm DNA fragmentation.
Previous research has shown that damage to the DNA in sperm may cause infertility or increase the chances of miscarriage, if the damage is extensive (eg. present in the overwhelming majority of sperm). Some studies suggest that DNA damage can be caused by oxidative stress. Antioxidants, such as Vitamin E, which are present in some foods, can prevent damage to cells from "free radicals", which are naturally present by-products of metabolism. We ask whether there is a correlation between sperm DNA damage and Vitamin E

|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case Control
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Vitamin E and Male Infertility
- correlate vitamin E levels in spermatozoa with degree of DNA fragmentation in infertile men [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA

|Study Completion Date:
|December 2005
|Primary Completion Date:
|December 2005 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Sperm DNA damage is an emerging cause of male infertility that is likely to be more common among men with increased reactive oxygen species in the ejaculate. Vitamin E can protect the sperm membrane from oxidative damage and increased levels are associated with low levels of reactive oxygen species. This is a study of Vitamin E levels in the spermatozoa and sera of 48 infertile men, and 20 fertile men as a control group, to look for correlations between sperm vitamin E levels and the degree of sperm DNA fragmentation. Dietary intake of antioxidants will also be included.

By MICHAEL OVERSONSun Advocate reporter
The boys game started out at a very fast place on Jan. 27. Both teams raced up and down the court while Canyon View went ahead for an early lead and eventually won by 50-49. Halfway through the first quarter Canyon View was ahead 9-4. This total was due to the Panthers not having much luck with their shots. Canyon View hit two three-pointers early and continued all night. With such a fast paced game being played ball control was crucial and the Cougars were fairing much better than the Panthers. The Panthers struggled after several intercepted passes and steals, in addition to feeling the pressure from the Cougars full-court press.
Pinnacle had a few passes end up in the bleachers as the first quarter drew to a close with a score of 18-7 for Canyon View. The Cougars were very effective with ball control and the execution of plays. Pinnacle made a few shots in the second and tried to rally for a tie but missed shots plagued them. The game was very physical and both teams racked up fouls. The half was exciting to watch as both teams played hard and fought for loose balls. The score at halftime was 34-25 with Canyon View enjoying a comfortable lead.
The second half opened with Pinnacle hitting a three. From there Pinnacle rallied to close the gap on the scoreboard. Defense improved for both teams but were still able to play the run and gun style that had been shown since the first quarter. With 3:41 left in the third quarter Pinnacle took the lead 42-40. The Panthers hit a couple threes in the second half as they tried to extend their lead. Canyon View fired back when they dropped from beyond the arc with 2:10 left in the third for a 46-45 lead. The final score was 72-58 Canyon View.

MALONE - The Norfolk Post 925 Rovers relayed a potent start into a 12-6 win on the road over Malone in an American Legion 19-Under Baseball game played at the airport field on Thursday.
The Rovers took early control scoring five runs in each of their first two at-bats en route to building a commanding 10-1 lead. Malone scored three times in the third before the teams traded runs the rest of the way.
Rory Corcoran went six strong innings to record the win. He fanned seven and walked two while giving up six hits and just three unearned runs. Tyler Haas came on to provide a scoreless seventh inning of relief where he notched one strikeout. Austin Lamay was tagged with the loss. Jacob St. Mary pitched well in relief.
The duo of Brandon Noble and David Phillips anchored the Rovers offense. Noble had three hits, including a two-run double in the second, scored twice and drove in a total of four runs while Phillips stroked a pair of doubles, came around to score three times and tallied three RBI. Jordan LaShomb also made lead contributions with a single, double and three runs scored. Isaiah Dillabough and Connor Paquin both singled and scored a run while Corcoran and Haas each drilled RBI-singles.
Alex Johnson had two hits and scored twice for Malone. Adam Martin doubled and scored a pair of runs while Brandon Welch singled and scored once.
Now 2-5, the Rovers return to action next Tuesday when they play host to Malone at Memorial Field in Raymondville starting at 6 p.m.

To the Huntington mine disaster; we all took place in remembrance of it, as well as the families of our honorable three men who did give of themselves their very best as heroes to the families. We gave them our individual attention; we were there to show concern through our gifts of the heart.
We need to give a special gratitude to all who made it possible to bring a thoughtful gesture with kindness and pride. We are a community and a county that indeed can hold up a candle to any disaster that can become a light in our minds.
I'm proud of our community and I believe you should be too; for we can help one another in troubled times.

Jinni Fontana-Lund of the Helper Arts Council has keys to the city's Rio Theatre doors, courtesy of the town's government. The keys are as much symbolic as they are practical. Helper City wants the arts group to unlock the potential of the building to become a regional center for the performing arts.
"Now is the time for this. It has been overdue," said city councilman Kirk Mascaro, explaining the reason for the city's recent agreement with the arts council to promote and expand the Rio Theatre's offerings of drama, dance and music. The 240 seats should be filled to capacity more often, he added.
There's more work left to be done on the reconstructed Rio Hotel, but the building already has much to offer. Fontana-Lund and her colleague, Marilou Kundmueller, said that when the Utah Symphony performed there orchestra members claimed the acoustics were as good as at Abravanel Hall. The heating and air conditioning work, and there is even a full size movie silver screen that can be raised or lowered.
What's holding things up is that not many people outside of town know that the Rio is there.
Kundmueller said that's the challenge facing the artists. "The arts council wants to give the city a boost. We want to help to bring in quality entertainment and make Helper a destination point," she explained. The two women expect that the Otherside Players, a professional acting group, will be a strong link in the chain of events that will have to occur before the theatre reaches its goals.
"With county-wide effort and community involvement, we can create a performing arts center in Carbon county as unique, courageous and as talented as our population," reads an Otherside poster.
Kundmueller stressed that "county-wide" means what it says. Just as the town is too small to support an undertaking this big, the council needs community members from outside Helper to sit on the new board, give advice and contribute some time and effort to raising funds.
These items are capital additions that will require donated funds or grants. As for continuing maintenance, the City-Arts Council agreement specifies that the City will handle those routine chores. "It's something we have to do anyway," explained Mascaro, so increasing crowds won't pose any major problems. Besides, the agreement stipulates that Helper will get a share of the net proceeds of performances.
Those performances, by the way, don't have to be limited to professional actors or musicians. The Rio is more than ready to host community performances, according to Fontana-Lund and Kundmueller. They want people interested in using the facility or volunteering to help develop the building to call (801) 651-7122 or (435) 650-2808, or use the e-mail address, firstname.lastname@example.com to get details.
Meanwhile, the artists will also be concentrating on outreach efforts of their own for the theatre. They will first concentrate on developing a website and links to other related sites to promote Rio events.
Oh - and if anyone knows of any Broadway or Hollywood stars who would like to be identified with the effort, please let the Helper Arts Council know, the women said.

|Sheriff: Woman's Death Not Foul Play
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 13 July 2011 20:09
Avery Sheriff Kevin Frye stated his investigators do not believe foul play was involved in the death of a woman on Buck Mountain Road. When deputies arrived on the scene they called in detectives as is standard practice on all unattended deaths. Detectives spent Tuesday afternoon along with the SBI at the residence near the TN line of Avery County.
"We assume each death is a crime scene until we prove otherwise" Frye stated adding, "if you make any other assumption you could overlook evidence which may play a vital role if the death was found to be a result of foul play." Sheriff Frye said the woman had checked herself out of a long-term care facility because she had stated she wanted to die at home. He also said she apparently expired over the past several days. Sheriff Frye also praised the hard work of Elk Park Volunteer Fire Department and first responders stating "Those guys did an amazing job and stayed with us and assisted us even though it was an extremely hot and difficult task to do." It will be several months before all the results of the autopsy are released and an official ruling made in this investigation.

"So tell me, oh wise one, what will be our fate for the coming year?"
Uncle Spud rolled his eyes in apparent disgust, sneered politely, and then set his empty Geratol bottle on the floor by his chair.
"What makes you think I can tell the future?" he asked.
"You made some predictions last year," I reminded him, "and about 20 percent of them came true. I was impressed."
Spud smiled.
"The outcome of a rain dance depends a lot on timing," he said.
"So set your timer to 2009 and tell us what you expect to happen in the coming year," I pleaded.
"Well, okay," he said. "But I only predict the future. I don't make it happen."
"Fair enough," I agreed.
"I think president Obama will be in big trouble right off the bat," Spud began. "About 60 percent of the people think he can walk on water, but he'll be in over his head.
Hezbullah, Osama bin-Laden, the Taliban, Russians, Koreans and Hugo Chavez will all invite him to dance right after the inaugural ball. We'll soon find out what kind of a dancer he is. Does he do break-dancing or bawl-room?
"But then, Obama will have some expert help and advice. Hillary and Bill will travel the world, she as secretary of state and he as worldwide ambassador to foxy chicks."
"Communist Red China (remember them?) will buy up all of our national debt and we will be forced to give them the deed to all of our public lands and national forests to hold as collateral on the loan.
"In a secret deal to keep shipping lanes open, the pirates in Somalia will be allowed to immigrate to the United States. To avoid publicity, the U.S. will buy them tickets to Mexico where they can sneak across the border and no one will notice."
"On the home front, the big oil companies will go broke after Congress mandates price controls to keep gas prices low. Congress will then give the oil companies a $700 billion bailout and pay for it by imposing a $3.37 per gallon federal gas tax.
"Obama will be forced to reinstate the draft after finding it necessary to send more troops to Iraq, Afghanistan, and downtown Detroit. In fact, all of our major cities will need military garrisons after inflation hits 500-percent because of all the trillions of worthless dollars being printed to pay for the economic bailouts and stimulus packages."
"Because Bernard Madoff was so good at balancing a gigantic ponzi scheme for so many years without being caught, he will be tapped by the new administration to run the biggest ponzi scheme of all, the social security system. His new title will be Secretary of the Treasury."
"Former Clinton chief of staff, Leon Pinetta, will be the new head of the CIA. Under his watch all agents will be required to conform to the standards of Boy Scouts. Osama bin-Laden will be retained as a paid consultant on terrorism. Half of the agency's budget will be used to buy hybrid vehicles and energy saving light bulbs for the office."
"In a bold move applauded by the environmental lobby, Obama will stop all drilling for oil in U.S. and decree a complete switch to wind and solar energy. Only then will he discover that trains, planes and automobiles don't go very far with air and sunshine in the fuel tank."
"The Bureau of Land Management and the Division of Wildlife Resources will be put under the office of Health and Human Services since they are in the business of managing people more than managing land and wildlife."
"On the Fourth of July, in a solemn ceremony, the ashes of the Republican Party will be scattered over the Lincoln Memorial. The men who killed it, George Bush and John McCain, will stand trial in the court of public opinion for the next hundred years."
"Good grief," I muttered. "Sounds like big changes are coming."
"People voted for change," the Spudster reminded. "Some changes are good, some changes are bad, and some changes are irreversible."
"You sound like a pessimist."
"No, I'm really quite an optimist," he insisted. Then he explained. "There are two kinds of people: pessimists and optimists. The pessimists always say, 'things are so bad we couldn't get any worse off.' But we optimists always remind them, 'Yes we can.'"
"Wasn't that a campaign slogan?" I asked.

Super powerful Hollywood family? Check.
Good looks? Check.
Role where you stand around and look pretty? Check.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Patrick (far left) will be making his first major movie appearance in "Grown Ups 2," opening in July. The 19-year-old model will play ... unsurprisingly ... a frat boy (complete with puka shell necklace). His bros include Taylor Lautner and Milo Ventimiglia (with bad blonde hair).
The frat guys will force the "grownups" (Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, and David Spade) to jump off a cliff ... naked. Check out the trailer below:
This isn't the first time Patrick Schwarzenegger has been on the big screen. He starred in another Happy Madison (Sandler's production company) film, "The Benchwarmers," back in 2006 and the independent film "Stuck in Love."
Considering the first "Grown Ups" made $270+ million, this could be Pat's big break. He could always go back to modeling if his acting career doesn't pan out. See more stars and their attractive offspring, below:

No. We would like to see him get here as soon as possible."

We're continuing our "roll" of new coffees every weekend
January 23, 2015
Java Sunda Andes is another of the Java Sunda project, this year working with small holders on various peaks in west Java. This lot from the peak "Andes" cups more similar to a Central American coffee than Indonesian, with clean expressions of toffee and chocolate. A balanced cup and "classic" profile single origin espresso.
Nicaragua Jinotega - El Buey. A mild cup with flavors of raw sugar and nut, and acidity that's low in the profile.
Colombia Pitalito Santa Rita is a crowd-pleaser, convincing sweetness with black tea and apple top notes.
Bali Organic Kintamani Agung provides a nice contrast to the washed Java. A wet-hulled coffee, expect rustic sugars and earth tones, mild acidity, and body.
