The Bell Game Rivalry has won the Missouri competition, and (as announced on Wednesday Morning) the Regional competition in USA Today's Best High School Rivalries Contest. This puts the eternal struggle for The Bell into the final four, with a chance at $10,000 only one competition away.
The other three winners were: Alabama's T.R. Miller vs. W.S. Neal, Vermont's St. Johnsbury Academy vs. Lyndon Institute and Arizona's Bisbee vs. Douglas. Voting starts on December 13 at 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, and ends on December 19 at 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
If the Bell Game Rivalry wins this competition, each school will get half of the $10,000 prize, coverage of next year's match-up in USA Today, and a new trophy to go to the winner of the game each year.
Remember, you can vote as often as possible each day during the contest. Head over to http://contest.usatodayhss.com/vote/final
The Brookfield Area Chamber of Commerce is reaching out to the schools and Chambers of Commerce throughout Missouri, and seeking to add even more voters to the Bell Game's plight. The Bell Game Rivalry, while the winner of its Regional competition, was not the highest vote-getter in the competition. This means that even more votes will be needed to secure the prize for these two fine local schools.
Once again, head over to http://contest.usatodayhss.com/vote/final and vote often!

After many days fighting with it with countless forum searches, I've decided to come for help.
The Rundown:
I recently installed PS3mediaserver on a fresh re-install of Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. Everything works beautifully with the exception of XBMC lacking the ability to rewind, fast forward, and seek/skip in the movies or tv shows. Seemingly related is the fact that it also will not display file sizes in the menu and end times while playing.
This was working before the re-install on the same version OS. The only differences between the two installs are as follows:
The previous install was manually installed from a version I cannot recall. It was mid 2010 if memory serves. The new one is installed from the happy-neko repository. Also the file system on the drive that's shared has changed from ntfs to ext4, if that matters.
I have tried manually installing the old version from backups, but to no avail. I've copied over previous .conf files and still nothing.
I am 100% sure this worked previously, as I can still boot to the old drive and this functionality is available. I'm pulling my hair out here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

9 Warm Weather DIY Hair and Skin Care Recipes
Be a natural beauty this spring/summer by whipping up these homemade beauty products
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon witch hazel
1/4 cup baking soda
1-2 drops of peppermint oil
Directions: Mix together all ingredients in a container with a lid to form a thick, milky solution. Shake well before applying. To use: Gently apply to your sunburned skin and allow to dry. Reapply if necessary. You may also want to rinse your skin after the lotion absorbs and works its magic because it leaves film as it dries (you know, in case you decide to venture out -- tan lines and all).

UPDATE: See coverage of the official groundbreaking ceremony on Atlantic Yards Report.
(Un)fortunately, I won't be there to witness the lies first hand, but all the Atlantic Yards perpetrators will be wielding their golden shovels this coming Thursday, March 11th, at 1:30pm for the ceremonial Barclays Center & Atlantic Yards groundbreaking. I expect Develop-Don't Destroy Brooklyn's Groundbreaking Ceremony (to bury the soul of Brooklyn) to be a much more interesting event, and I am sorry that I'll miss that. Read the dueling press releases below.
First up, Forest City Ratner & accomplices:
Ceremonial Groundbreaking to Celebrate the Next Phase of Construction
On Atlantic Yards and Sports and Entertainment Arena in Brooklyn
(BROOKLYN, NY) – March 8, 2010 – Governor David Paterson, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Forest City Ratner Companies Chairman and CEO Bruce Ratner, Barclays PLC President Robert E. Diamond, Jr., NETS investor and cultural icon Shawn "JAY-Z" Carter, and Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment President and CEO Brett Yormark, among others, will be on hand for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Barclays Center at Atlantic Yards on Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 5th and Atlantic Avenues in Brooklyn (12:30 PM press set up, 1:30 PM ceremony).
While work has been ongoing at the site since last fall, and with the temporary rail yard completed last December, the March 11 groundbreaking ceremony will mark the next phase of construction on the 18,000-seat world-class sports and entertainment arena. The Barclays Center will host more than 200 events annually, including professional and collegiate sports, concerts, family shows, NETS Basketball, and much more. The first phase of Atlantic Yards will also include three residential buildings, with the first starting later this year.
WHAT: Ceremonial groundbreaking for Barclays Center at Atlantic Yards.
WHO: Governor David Paterson, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Forest City Ratner Companies Chairman and CEO Bruce Ratner, Barclays PLC President Robert E. Diamond, Jr., NETS investor and cultural icon Shawn "JAY-Z" Carter, and Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment President and CEO Brett Yormark, among others.
WHEN: Thursday, March 11, 2010. Ceremony to start at 1:30 PM.
Press setup at 12:30 PM. ONLY OFFICIAL CREDENTIALED PRESS WILL BE PROVIDED ACCESS.
WHERE: Intersection of 5th and Atlantic Avenues, Brooklyn
Next, Develop-Don't Destroy Brooklyn:
March 11: Two Groundbreakings to Protest Ratner's Boondoggle Ceremony
Many of us are angry, no…mad, and lots have already said, "I'll be there."
This is the moment to express your anger and outrage:
Take off work or take a long lunch to express all of your anger and outrage about the abusive, destructive, and corrupt Atlantic Yards project…

Being added to the U.S. Freeski rookie team isn't something Michigan's Kyle Mack takes lightly.
"To have people look at me and think I have a chance to make the Olympics - that's pretty cool," he said.
And for professional teammate Benji Farrow, who moved up from the rookie team this year, it's a dream come true.
"It's a realization of a lifelong goal. I grew up 10 minutes down the road from Hannah (Teter)'s house (in Vermont). ... I wanted to be just like them," Farrow said, speaking of snowboard stars Kelly Clark, Teter, Elijah Teter and Ross Powers. "Two years ago, I was put on the team. It was a surreal feeling, going from being a kid watching the Olympics and wanting to be like them to actually riding with them."
It's been a "progression of dreams" for Farrow, who hopes those dreams will only continue to come true as he dreams bigger and works hard to make it all a reality.
Mack and Farrow are among athletes who have been using Copper Mountain's superpipe for training since it was the first in the world to open on Nov. 30. On Saturday, the freeski and snowboard teams gathered for their official team naming announcement in the midst of Copper's 40th anniversary celebrations.
"The U.S. Speed Center was home to the most elite alpine athletes training for the season, and then we opened the first halfpipe in the world for our freeskiing and snowboarding athletes," Copper spokeswoman Austyn Williams said. She added that in mid-December, the U.S. freestyle selections will be made - again on Copper turf.
Many of the athletes credited the local mountain for having an ideal training facility prior to the Breckenridge Dew Tour competition, which begins next week, but more so, they credit their success to the U.S. teams, which provide support, coaching, physical therapy and more to the athletes.
"Behind every great athlete is a team of great people," snowboarder Kelly Clark said. "The U.S. team has contributed to my career - everything from its longevity to its success."
Though Clark doesn't have much contact with the new blood on the team, she still thinks they can be inspired by veteran athletes like herself, and vice-versa - she becomes inspired by their progressive approach.
"Snowboarding is always changing and you change with it," she said.
For Emilia Wint, it's extra special to have her discipline - slopestyle skiing - reach global status as a recognized sport in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
"Three or four years ago, when I got into slopestyle, it wasn't a thought in anybody's mind," she said. Now, the structure of the team will help her slopestyle skiing pursuit, from the recent two-week camp at California's Mammoth Mountain to the Center of Excellence training center in Park City, Utah, where she spent a good portion of the summer.
Slopestyle is a ski and snowboard discipline that Wint and U.S. Snowboard Team veteran Hannah Teter expect to take off in popularity and continue to increase exposure for skiing and riding as a whole.
"It's one of the most progressive aspects of snowboarding to watch ... It was cheers all around when they finally announced it," Teter said.
The full U.S. Snowboard roster includes:
Gretchen Bleiler (Aspen)
Greg Bretz (Mammoth Lakes, Calif.)
Kelly Clark (West Dover, Vt.)
Elena Hight (South Lake Tahoe, Calif.)
Ellery Hollingsworth (Darien, Conn.)

(For Phase One Fridays I feature Phase One Recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. Phase One Recipes are also Low-Carb and Gluten-Free, and this recipe can even be Paleo if you use approved oil. This Curried Sauteed Cauliflower was updated with new photos and better instructions, October 2011.)
Back in the early days of my blog I did a whole series of recipes adapted from Mark Bittman's The Best Recipes in the World. This international cookbook has dishes that Bittman traveled around the world to sample, and I think I've liked every recipe I've made from the book. This dish of chopped cauliflower sauteed with red onions, cumin seeds, and curry powder is called Gobi Taktakin in India, suppposedly because of the "tak-tak" sound made by knives of the street vendors when they chop up the cauliflower as it cooks.
And just for fun, here's the original photo of this recipe from back in 2005!
Curried Sauteed Cauliflower
(Makes about 4 servings; adapted from The Best Recipes in the World)
1/2 head cauliflower, chopped into very small pieces
2 T peanut oil or grapeseed oil
1 tsp. cumin seed (more or less to taste)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion or shallots
1 tsp. sweet curry (or more to taste, I used Penzeys)
1/2 tsp. hot curry (or more to taste, I used Penzeys)
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup or more fresh cilantro, chopped (or use mint or parsley if you're not a cilantro fan)
1 fresh lime, cut to squeeze over when eating
Add most of chopped cilantro (or other herb) and stir, then put on serving dish. Top with the rest of the chopped cilantro and serve with cut limes to squeeze over.

The Irish sense of humor and wit is renowned around the world and here's our pick of the best, or maybe worst depending on how you look at it, of Irish jokes for this St. Patrick's Day. There is nothing the Irish like more than sitting around a cup of tea, or a pint, and telling stories or a good joke.
St. Patrick's Day Engagement
An Irishman, by the name of O'Malley proposed to his girl on St. Patrick's Day. He gave her a ring with a synthetic diamond. The excited young lass showed it to her father, a jeweler. He took one look at it and saw it wasn't real.
The young lass, on learning it wasn't real, returned to her future husband. She protested vehemently about his cheapness.
'It was in honor of St. Patrick's Day,' he smiled.
'I gave you a sham rock.'
What is an Irishman?
An Irishman is a man who...
May not believe there is a God, but is darn sure of the infallibility of the Pope...
Has great respect for the truth, he uses in emergencies...
Sees things not as they are but the way they never will be.....
Cries at sad movies, but cheers in battle....
Gets more Irish the further he gets from Ireland.....
Believes in civil rights, but not in his neighborhood...
Believes to forgive is divine, therefore doesn't exercise it himself....
Loves religion for its own sake, but also because it makes it so inconvenient for his neighbors....
Scorns money, but worships those who have it...
Considers any Irishman who achieves success to be a traitor...
Learn a foreign language
A Swiss man, on holiday in Dublin, needed directions. He was standing outside Davy Byrne's pub when he saw two youths walking by so he stopped and asked them, "Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?"
The two lads looked at each other blankly and then stared back at him.
"Excusez-moi, parlez vous Français?" he tried.
The two continue to stare.
"Parlare Italiano?" Still absolutely no response from the two lads.
"Hablan ustedes Espanol?" The Dublin lads remain totally silent.
The Swiss guy walks off, disappointed. One of the boys turned to the second and said, "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language!"
"Why?' says the other youth, 'That guy knew four languages, and look what good it did him!"
Social Welfare
An Irishman walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check. He marched straight up to the counter and said,
"Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job."
The social worker behind the counter said, 'Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a Chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have to drive around in his 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. The daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive.
The Irishman, just plain wide-eyed, said, "You're bullshittin' me!"
The social worker said, "Yeah, well . . You started it."
Texan Farmer
A Texan rancher comes to Ireland and meets a Kerry farmer.
The Texan says, "Takes me a whole day to drive from one side of my ranch to the other."
The Kerry farmer says, "Ah sure, I know, sir. We have tractors like that over here too."
A System
Two paddies were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one man digging a hole, the other filling it in again.
An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting in to your work, but I don't get it – why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"
The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the lad who plants the trees called in sick."
Job interview
While being interviewed for a job, the personnel manager said to the Maguire brothers:
"We're going to give you a written examination. Ten questions. Whoever gets most right we'll hire."
Papers were produced and the boys set to work answering the general knowledge questions. When the time was up the personnel manager collected and marked the papers.
"Well," said he, "you've both got nine out often, but I'm giving Mick the job."
"Why's that?" asked Pat.
"Well," said the manager, "you both got the same question wrong but he had 'I don't know this' and you had 'Neither do I!'."
Baby on Board
A woman gets on a bus with her baby. As she pays for her ticket, the bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen. Ugh!"
The woman sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!"
The man says: "You shouldn't take that. You tell him off, go ahead,
I'll hold your monkey."

@MiguelSanchez did a great job breaking down the performance. I just want to add that segue in the set-opening 2001->SOAMelt combo is so seamless, I wish the band would perform it again. During Daniel, Trey thanks the crowd in a similar fashion to the version from 7/15/93 Weedsport that saw release on the I-90s compilation disc, but to this listener it really seems sincere. It also serves to remind us of how, having now scaled the career mountain of selling out Great Woods, Phish was setting their sights on even greater challenges.

@MiguelSanchez did a great job breaking down the performance. I just want to add that segue in the set-opening 2001->SOAMelt combo is so seamless, I wish the band would perform it again. During Daniel, Trey thanks the crowd in a similar fashion to the version from 7/15/93 Weedsport that saw release on the I-90s compilation disc, but to this listener it really seems sincere. It also serves to remind us of how, having now scaled the career mountain of selling out Great Woods, Phish was setting their sights on even greater challenges.
this is a nice little 1993 2001. page shines on this one. check out this melt; it is where this show really starts to pick up. i love listening to the evolution of this song throughout '93. it really starts to come together in these summer shows. fluff head is particularly sharp, and the whole band is really on point here. then comes one of my all time favorite mazes. with page really lighting it up, trey starts to put some 2001 licks over the top. very very hot maze. glide and sparkle give you a breather without killing the momentum, then... this mike's song is a monster. i love it. it has some really nice peaks. gordon and fishman get into such a nice groove while page and trey murder this one. as it peters out, they don't really steer toward the land of hydrogen. instead, they drift into yerushalayim shel zahav. i'm not jewish, but by damn, i love when they do these jewish hymnals. this one sounds a little eerie coming out of a some what dark mike's jam. the darkness passes as gordon brings up the weekapaugh intro. this show sort of peters out after a good weekapaugh. daniel saw the stone is a nice treat, and you have to dig the freebird.
very good show. this may not be a best of year contender, but at this point in the year, it was about the best. if you like this, check out the 12/30/93 and almost any show from august. i just love how much the music seemed to evolve between 93-94.
set 1:
llama, divided sky, mango song, stash
set 2:
Melt, fluff>maze, mike's>yerushalayim>weekapaugh
THE BAD: Sound quality for the circulating version of this show is a B-, which is definitely a detraction. There's not much bad about this show, but it's bookended throughout this tour with spectacular performances, and, listening chronologically, seems a bit underwhelming. As mentioned elsewhere, the band plays it somewhat safe as the show was at the largest venue the band had played at the time. No real flubs to speak of.
ETC: The Mango Song features a false Bouncing start by Fishman. Mango may have been prompted by fans calling for it before the encore the night before (listen carefully to 7/23). Blatant teases of 2001 by Trey can be found in the Maze. Fish is entertaining during Purple Rain, coaxing the crowd to "see some more lighters!". Trey thanks the crowd, as was per usual for the tour, during Daniel.
BOTTOM LINE: A very solid show, solidifying their New England fan base, but not spectacular. 3.5/5
Having grown up in a small town, Running free in Boston was a thrilling experience for a junior in high school. We saw and did so much, it was a blast. The beginning of out of state Phish following travels that would take me around the entire country...
I had seen a few phish shows before, but the venues were much smaller. The lot at Great Woods was packed with heads and resembled what one would see at a dead show.
Can remember Trey doing the silent break during Divided sky and we were really thrown for a loop back then... We were looking at each other like "Dude, what the heck is goin on up there." "Is he havin a seisure or somethin?"... We were really stoned...
The second set opener was frickin' awesome. We didn't know the song and had just wrote down "Lights" on the setlist, cause during the climatic parts of the song they were blazing huge ass headlights up into our eyes... (It was 2001)
During Maze, this Kid (I had just turned 17 and he was quite a bit younger) was going nutz. Like a Mr. Roboto dance at warp speed. It was awesome. Seeing others letting it hang out like that really made us feel comfortable too. By the time Weekapaug rolled around we were all bending at the knee into some deep funk. Just completely Free...
My friend was blown off the face of the earth at his first Phish show, and continued on to see many many more. We would bounce back and forth between Phish and the Dead, then Phish and Furthur...
I'll review the show based on listening to the recording over the years, since I was too young to contribute a constructive review based on that experience alone.
The show opens with a raging Llama! WOO! Divided Sky and Guelah Papyrus I consider litmus tests as you can judge the energy in the venue during the two quiet parts and I think these results came up positive!!! I wasn't aware but the Mango song was a bit of a bust out...A powerful Stash starts some exploration that continues later and the coil wraps the first segment up beautifully.
Set two wastes no time getting serious. I absolutely love these earlier versions of also sprach before they got all super space funk jam, these are more short, tight, and to the point, but still full of that groove. And the one-two punch of Also Sprach into Split Open and Melt is just perfect, like they were meant to be played together. The Split gets dark and deep and scary and totally awesome psychedelic. Fiery and scary beginning to the second set. Fluff is solid, the ending is bursting with joy! The Maze is downright sinister, with a nice Also Sprach tease - they're just playing in and out of whatever they like on this July eve in Mass...Glide is great, then sparkle, but it's all about this freaking Mike's - this is a complete monster - even if you sleep on this show don't sleep on the mike's - it goes all over the place and eventually hits yerushalayim shel zahav before entering the Weekapaug...This sandwich is the magic of the night - check it out. Some nice fishman purple rain action, Daniel saw the stone keeps the energy high and Good times bad times potently caps an incredible set. And who doesn't love a free bird encore?
So that's my review of the show based on listening over the years. What follows is a more personal account from the experience.
I was 12, so there's that. My memory is foggy, rather groggy, but the things I remember without a doubt (and will never forget) are:
females with hair under their arms, and still hot, who knew?
glass pipes, with a strange new smell. Asked my dad if it was marijuana, he said yeah, I asked how he knew what it smelled like, he said "I was in 'Nam! I know what the fuck it smells like!"
I remember the drummer playing a vacuum cleaner, to a beautiful purple rain, with neat lights, and lots of lighters (more lighters!)
I remember the melody to divided sky, even though it would be months until I heard it again on Junta. These are really the only things that stuck with me, and a huge sense of wonder at the gap between the only other Phish I'd heard (A Picture of Nectar) and this live experience - my mind was blown, to put it lightly.

Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings announce the release of She�s Got A Way: Love Songs, a new collection of 18 essential love songs drawn from three decades of recordings by music legend and composer/singer songwriter, Billy Joel. This collection comes just in time for Valentine's Day.
She�s Got A Way: Love Songs is a perfect distillation of the artist's expressions of love and romance over the course of his life and career. The album brings together some of Billy's finest and most heartfelt performances, iconic hits playing alongside under-appreciated deep catalog selections.

We know that a lot of bullying amongst teens and tweens has moved from the classroom to the online world. As Bullying Awareness Month comes to a close, we wanted to talk to one of our Bearville experts to find out how we keep Bearville, our virtual world, a safe place to play for kids of all ages.
"One of the ways we keep children safe in Bearville is with a very detailed Admin Tool, " said Joy, Interactive OpBearations Manager, who has been involved with Bearville since it opened in 2007. "It allows us to see chat logs, trades [between players], inventory [of players' accounts], etc. It allows us to quickly and correctly make decisions on whether or not a guest in Bearville is acting appropriately."
But what should you do if you or your child comes across a bully in Bearville?
"We teach our guests in Bearville to Stop, Block and Tell. When you see someone bullying or you are bullied, first stop communicating with that person. Then, block them from your friends list so they can't communicate with you. Finally, tell a trusted adult which is our Bearville Patrol Team. The best way to alert our Bearville Patrol Team to kids who aren't behaving properly is to report them through the game. This way we are sure to have the correct Bearville account name and the time it happened," she said.
To report someone, double-click on the avatar to pull up the menu and select Report. "You must select a reason for reporting a player and then give us a detailed description of what happened."
There are multiple steps we can take to show the bully that we will not tolerate their behavior in Bearville, one of them being a three-strike system where the final strike means they're out. Under the FAQ there is a section called Report a Player FAQ, where players can learn more about how a report takes place, when they should report a player and how false reports are bad for everyone. They can also visit http://www.bearville.com/Home/StaticSafetyTips. Parents can go to http://www.bearville.com/Home/StaticImportantTips to learn about how to keep Bearville safe for everyone.
"Another GREAT way for parents to keep their children safe is to play in Bearville with their kids!" Joy explained. "It is a fun place for the whole family to play."
But it's not all serious all the time in the Bearville Den where Joy works. There are always new games, events, parties and new friends to meet! "I'm a big fan of Halloween so I really like Bearville's Kooky Spooky Fun House!"

Ask Stephen Curry what's the key to his renowned outside shot, and his answer comes matter-of-factly.
"Shooting it the same way every time," he said recently, between bites of french fries at his favorite Orinda joint.
He makes it sound so simple.
Though relatively small in size -- he's 6-foot-3, 185 pounds -- Curry has become one of the most formidable offensive players in the NBA. His primary weapon is an ability to shoot that will go down in history.
He's already considered the best shooter in the game, the ambassador for reviving a lost art. No doubt, shooting it the same way every time is a chief component of his success.
But what distinguishes the Warriors' star is the great form he's repeating. It's such a sight to behold, reputed shooters are in awe of Curry. It's how he's the record holder for most 3-pointers in a season (272) and owner of the third-highest 3-point percentage in NBA history (43.9 percent).
"Best shooter to ever play," scoring champion Kevin Durant said.
Curry is a walking clinic. Bolstered by intangibles that come with being the son of a great shooter, his stroke is textbook.
Accurate gauge
Curry is unique in his ability to assess a shot. It happens instantaneously: A calculation occurs to tell him what angle to shoot the ball and how much strength he needs to put behind it.
Perhaps these equations are memorized, but the variables -- where he is on the court, how far he is from the basket, how much time he has to get the shot off -- are fluid and require expertise to gauge accurately.
"That's how you know he's putting in the work," said NBA TV analyst Dennis Scott, a formidable 3-point shooter in his day. "All those years at NBA shootarounds and getting up shots. All the shots he has practiced in his life. You can tell the amount of time he's put into developing his shot."
Curry is adept at deciphering how to shoot from every spot on the floor. This skill is best illustrated in his pull-up 3-pointers in transition -- even from the wing, where angles can get tricky -- and when he hits shots with defenders draped all over him.
"You can't defend that," Miami guard Mario Chalmers said after Curry lit up the Heat for 36 points, including eight 3-pointers, last month.
Low lift
Jump shooters use a lot of legs when getting their shot off. Those types, such as former Warriors 3-point record holder Jason Richardson, rise high off the ground and shoot the ball at their peak. This gives them a clearer look at the basket, a rhythm to their mechanics -- and it makes their shot difficult to block.
Curry is no jump shooter. He hardly leaves the hardwood.
This works to his advantage late in games because even when tired, he still can maintain his form. For jump shooters, tired legs usually equal bricks.
Quick gather
What impresses experts most about Curry is his ability to make various kinds of shots. He's not just a spot-up shooter. He can catch-and-shoot. He can shoot off the dribble. He can shoot on the run, in transition, going to his left or his right.
One of the reasons for Curry's versatility as a shooter is his minimalist form. He is supremely efficient from the moment he decides to shoot to the moment the ball is at its release point.
He doesn't have a windup. He doesn't have a hitch. He's doesn't have a weak hand to slow him up. His process is so compact, he is ready to shoot almost instantaneously, even off the dribble.
"I don't think I drilled it, but you have to practice it," said Curry's father, Dell, who shot 40.2 percent from 3-point range in 16 NBA seasons. "Being not the fastest guy, not being able to jump over anybody, you've got to be able to get it off when the defender is on you. And that's getting it off quicker."
High release
The summer between his freshman and sophomore years at Charlotte Christian Academy in North Carolina, Curry's shot was under construction. His father had his eldest son change his release point.
As a kid, Stephen Curry didn't have the strength to shoot traditionally. Like many youngsters, he had to squat, build up momentum, and sort of push the ball from his waist. As he got older, and stronger, his shot didn't change much. He was still chucking from his waist.
"I was a good shooter, but I got my shot blocked a lot," Curry said.
Dell taught Stephen how to shoot from over his head, and he made it second nature by killing him with drill after drill.
It took months for the younger Curry to get it down. He described it as one of the worst summers of his youth. The first few weeks, he couldn't make a shot outside the paint.
"I was at basketball camp and people were like, 'Why is he even here?' " Stephen Curry recalled with a smile. "It looked like I didn't even know how to play. Eventually, it started to click."
Because Curry releases on his way up and not at his apex, his outside shot is incredibly difficult to block.
The higher release point also gives him more arc on his shot. Higher arc, in essence, makes the rim a bigger target.
Elbow in
Like many adolescents, Curry worked on his form by tossing balled-up socks at the ceiling while lying on his back in his room. He focused on the same spot but added a degree of difficulty.
"I didn't want it to hit the ceiling," Curry said. "I practiced getting it as close as possible without touching."
Such drills helped him develop the tactic of keeping his elbow in. Many players are solid shooters with elbows out, including greats such as Reggie Miller and Tim Hardaway. But for Curry, keeping his elbow in continues the theme of efficiency that characterizes his mechanics.
It simplifies his release, which helps him get off the shot faster -- crucial since he is only 6-foot-3. It also gives him control over the ball and helps him aim. This is why he can shoot well from multiple angles and positions, and from deep -- because he can consistently keep the ball on a straight line.
If there was anything genetically passed down from father to son, helping Stephen Curry become such a dynamic shooter, it's touch.
An intangible rarely explained, it is a vital part of being a good shooter. Touch is the skill of altering the trajectory and speed of the ball. It's the ability to shoot it a bit softer to get it just over the front of the rim. Or to shoot it a little bit harder to make it bank perfectly off the glass. Or to loft it a little bit higher to get over the outstretched arm of a shot blocker. Or giving it a certain spin.
"You can't teach that," Dell Curry said. "That's one of those things where you've either got it or you don't."
Stephen Curry's got it.

Direction is show saver for this high budget franchise.We can see how war tactics are employed and various creative tricks in navy battles.First half seemed a bit out of notch and boring.But second half is a legend repeated.
Cinematography is nullified in lot of scenes with high end graphics which are indeed needed.Climax scene of horse coming out of ship looked like a video game and really not good.

New Canon CanoScan 9000F & SilverFast; An Ideal Flat-Bed Scanner & Software For Photo Enthusiasts
A new CanoScan flat-bed photo scanner, the 9000F, has an exceptionally high 9600x9600 optical resolution. It's priced right, with a list of $249, but how well does it work and what quality of scans does it reproduce from 35mm film?
This new 9000F model Canon flat-bed photo scanner is not essentially different from their 8800F model; it looks a little sleeker and has higher resolution, though. It can be used to scan 8.5x11" reflective documents and prints (at 4800dpi), as well as both 35mm and 120 photographic film (at 9600dpi). Film scanning is supported by infrared FARE 3 software for sensing of dust, dirt, and scratches for automatic cleaning. Like the most contemporary scanners, the CanoScan 9000F uses white LEDs for scan illumination. The scan sensor is a 12-line CCD. The 9000F scans in 48-bits and will also output 48-bit files. It connects with your computer via a USB specified as the fastest available for your PC's support.
Batch Scanning
Along with the scanner, I also contacted LaserSoft and obtained their new version of SilverFast for the CanoScan 9000F in the most complete Ai 6 version. Shortly the scanner arrived, and I had the software installed and the scanner set up in just minutes. In unpacking and handling I noticed the 9000F weighed in at 10 lbs, a bit more than other current flat-bed scanners I've used. It is obviously well made and that is evident in the film holders that are both substantial and convenient to use.
My first scan was made with Canon's ScanGear software, a scan of a letter-sized portrait print. Easy and quick, but then there is little "interpretation" between different media involved as "quick and easy" has its limits. All the preview scans, presented in four thumbnails on one screen, were usable, with pretty good dynamic interpretations of different color negative film bases. But when opening each of these previews to make manual adjustments to refine the color output I was really disappointed, as the Canon adjustment software is too simple and interactively ineffective. Better to just scan to a 48-bit TIFF file and go through the torture of color correction in Photoshop. So my work with the Canon ScanGear was short-lived, and I switched to using LaserSoft's SilverFast to operate the scanner.
Print Scanning
LaserSoft's SilverFast & The CanoScan 9000F
The first thing I did before making a scan with the 9000F and SilverFast was to use IT8; I put a 35mm target slide in the scanner and ran the profiling. It didn't take more than a few minutes or any effort and all was done automatically with the software in seconds.
Since I tested the Plustek OpticFilm 7600i awhile back, I have been doing a lot of personal scanning of my 35mm film library, a job I will never live long enough to finish. For that reason I already had a lot of 35mm film frames selected, a wide variety of subjects and different kinds of films, and I just grabbed a bunch, maybe 100 to 150 images, and dove into scanning with the 9000F using all of the methods supported by SilverFast. I used the software conventionally and traditionally, making high-bit Raw scan files, and using the newest and most efficient kind of batch scanning—the SilverFast Archive Suite method.
Negative Film Scans
A large number of readers have queried me about the most efficient and fastest way to get scanning done. Quick and easy alone doesn't do it because the price is poor image quality or very long and tedious work color correcting 48-bit scan files with an image editor. I think many experienced photographers don't realize that color correcting and translating between different films, both positive and negative, is far from straightforward and simple. Film images vary in density and, with negatives making an inversion to a positive image and the need to eliminate the dye color in the film base, an often complicated path is required.
Color Slide Scanning
So let's start with the most common objective—scanning positive color slides to make a good print. With SilverFast, the first step in color correction and adjustment is the one that is done easily by automation, using the histogram process to map the much greater range of typical slide densities to the 256-step gamut of a digital image. Once an image has been previewed, and the scan frame is adjusted within the image leaving just image information inside, you then use the control window at the top left. Click the second from the far left icon that looks like an aperture, then open the histogram with the third icon from the left, and in the window and at the bottom is a most valuable adjustment—Removing Color Cast. Many film images may have a color cast from light reflections, smog, or smoke in the atmosphere, and frequently show a color in the film base or a tint from less than perfect processing. The Color Cast slider allows for color cast removal by perception, that is, you will see the adjustments as you work.

Seems Taco Bell was not content to cater to the lunch, dinner and "fourth meal" crowd. Now they're moving into breakfast territory with a new line of menu items -- the biggest launch they've done in 50 years. Say hello to the Waffle Taco and the A.M. Crunchwrap.
The Waffle Taco wraps a waffle around scrambled eggs and sausage or bacon. Despite the taco moniker, it's not even vaguely Mexican. Think Egg McMuffin on a waffle. The new syrup-doused dish is being billed as breakfast-on-the-go. (We're thinking it ought to be billed as "syrup-on-your-pants.")
The fast food chain is also adding breakfast burritos, Cinnabon doughnut holes, A.M. Grilled Tacos and A.M. Crunchwraps to the menu. The latter tucks eggs, hash browns, cheese and bacon (or sausage or steak) in a flour tortilla. then tosses it on the griddle to give it the crunch treatment.
But it was the Waffle Tacos that seized the public imagination, at least in the Twitterverse, where posters tried to figure out which Taco Bells already had it, and opinions ranged from "You had me at waffle" (@tomspano) to "Looks like something I made at home drunk once" (@CapitalKatie).

Possum Wreaks Havoc, Makes a Smelly Mess at Lakeland City Hall
Published: Friday, August 30, 2013 at 7:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 30, 2013 at 7:46 p.m.
LAKELAND | Next time you think your day at work really stinks, think about those employees at City Hall whose desks were doused in possum pee.
The marsupial roamed through a ceiling at Lakeland City Hall for weeks. It defecated, urinated and ultimately caused $1,800 in damage to the ceiling tiles.
The damage from the female opossum caused the five employees in the communications department to be moved from the area while workers replace tiles and steam-clean desks and carpets.
"You've really gotta laugh about it now," said Robin Tillett, electronic media coordinator.
Earlier this week, employees in the communications department, which is located on the first floor, smelled something "kind of mildewy," said Kevin Cook, a spokesman with the city.
About 8:30 a.m. Monday, Tillett and Cook heard something scurrying above Tillett's desk.
While Tillett sat in her chair, a liquid squirted onto her desk.
"She thought a pipe had burst," Cook said.
Cook sniffed it and determined it was urine. Minutes later, he popped open one of the tiles and saw the animal scurry away.
Cook called Rick Bibby Jr., a maintenance employee for the city. Bibby brought a trap to the room and placed it in the ceiling.
But by Tuesday morning, the possum had taken the food and wasn't in the trap.
As employees discussed possibly hiring a professional trapper, a second dousing of urine rained down on Antwan Key's work area. Key is the multimedia producer. The possum ran, and employees knocked out more than a dozen ceiling tiles in an attempt to catch it.
It reached a corner then fell from an opening in the ceiling onto the floor.
Bibby picked it up by its tail.
"She was stunned when she hit the ground," Bibby said. "Then, she wasn't too happy."
Tillett said she wanted to kill the possum while it was causing damage and distress to the office. But she said she felt sympathetic when she saw it hit the floor.
Bibby said he put the possum, which was estimated to be about 14 inches long, in a cage, then drove it to a wooded area near the power plant.
When word got out about the possum, other employees told Tillett they had seen the creature early some mornings eating fruit. The employees had named it Ollie the Oppossum.
The possum had entered the building near the front on Massachusetts Avenue through a hole. It chewed through foam and crawled through a pipe, Bibby said.
Cook and Bibby saw a mess when they looked in the ceiling. Feces were scattered, and the possum had built a nest in one area of the ceiling.

About the Book
"Matching gorgeous prose to gorgeous artworks, Prose responds to each image as a moment of theatrical revelation, sensual or spiritual, and frequently both." — Boston Sunday Globe
In Caravaggio, New York Times bestselling author Francine Prose (Goldengrove, Reading like a Writer) offers an enthralling account of the life and work of one of the greatest painters of all time. —"Called "racy, intensely imagined, and highly readable" by the New York Times Book Review, Caravaggio includes eight pages of color illustrations, and is sure to appeal to art enthusiasts interested in one of history's true innovators. Caravaggio is another engaging entry in the HarperCollins' "Eminent Lives" series of biographies by distinguished authors on canonical figures.
Francine Prose's life of Caravaggio evokes the genius of this great artist through a brilliant reading of his paintings. Caravaggio defied the aesthetic conventions of his time; his use of ordinary people, realistically portrayed—street boys, prostitutes, the poor, the aged—was a profound and revolutionary innovation that left its mark on generations of artists. His insistence on painting from nature, on rendering the emotional truth of experience, whether religious or secular, makes him an artist who speaks across the centuries to our own time.
Born in 1571 near Milan, Michelangelo Merisi (da Caravaggio) moved to Rome when he was twenty-one years old. He became a brilliant and successful artist, protected by the influential Cardinal del Monte and other patrons. But he was also a man of the streets who couldn't seem to free himself from its brawls and vendettas. In 1606 he fled Rome, apparently after killing another man in a dispute. He spent his last years in exile, in Naples, Malta, and Sicily, at once celebrated for his art and tormented by his enemies. Through it all, he produced masterpieces of astonishing complexity and power. Eventually he received a pardon from the Pope, only to die, in mysterious circumstances, on the way back to Rome in 1610.
Francine Prose presents the brief but tumultuous life of one of the greatest of all painters with passion and acute sensitivity.

Welcome to our first movie discussion thread. This week the featured movie is Gattaca. Seeing as this is our first one, we'll probably have to experiment a bit with the format. For now, let's get everyone's impressions of the movie. Bonus points to whoever notes the interesting/significant feature of the name "Gattaca". :)
Of course, as we get into this discussion, the obvious topic is going to be genetic engineering. I really felt like this movie presenting one of the more realistic and possible forms of genetic engineering in the near future. We're actually not far from this type of genetic screening already. Are the warnings of the movie valid? Is it possible to go too far? Where should the line be drawn?

Tips to Avoid Identity Theft
With Black Friday in the past, stores are focusing on Cyber Monday -- the biggest online shopping day of the year.
Retailers estimate shoppers will spend $2 billion this year, part of a growing national trend toward online shopping.
At the Meijer store in Okemos, Store Director Chris Wilson is bracing for a tenfold increase in sales.
"People's time is stretched so much these days and anything they can do to spend more time with friends and family makes a big difference," Wilson said.
An increased demand and shortened holiday shopping season -- Thanksgiving fell on November 28 this year, leaving the fewest number of shopping days before Christmas in a decade -- led Meijer to open its sale a day early and keep it open through December 7.
"I think it just takes some stress off of our customers and really gives them the opportunity to spend the week, look at the website, make your decisions, and save a lot of money," he said.
Shoppers say a more relaxed environment is the reason they prefer to do online commerce in the first place.
"You don't have to fight the crowds," said Keesha Chadwell, a shopper from Eaton Rapids. "I'd rather not stand in line."
Portland resident Jessica Miller said she shopped on Black Friday, but she expects the deals to be better online this week.
"I love being able to use the coupon codes that are online and staying at home," she said.
But a big day for online shoppers is also a big day for identity thieves, said Scott Merritt, author of the book "Identity Theft Dos and Don'ts...What You Need to Know...Now What?"
He urges caution when shoppers take to their computer screens this week, citing a Federal Trade Commission stat that says 19 people are victims of identity theft every minute.
He says it's important to visit retailers' websites directly.
"Sometimes fraudsters will send you an email saying it's from Meijer or whomever and it really isn't," he said. "It's a dummy site they've made to look like Meijer or some other retailer so that they can get your information."
It's also safest to use a credit card instead of a debit card, Merritt said. National cards -- which have the potential to grow to a limit of $50,000 or greater -- have added protections in recent laws. In other words, if there is fraud, the card company will take care of it. The same can't necessarily be said for your local bank, Merritt said.
More than 141 million unique shoppers hit the stores over the Thanksgiving weekend, according to the National Retail Federation, up from last year.
Total spending is estimated to be $57.4 billion, according to the NRF.

ENGINEERING STUDY ON FIP RECOMMENDS CANAL LINING A Helena engineering firm has recommended several ways of increasing water delivery of the Flathead Irrigation Project (FIP). The 23-page engineering evaluation, which was bankrolled by the BIA does not, however, suggest any way FIP could improve service to the tribe or tribal members. The Morrison and Maierle report, which came out of a one-year study of the 50-year old reservation irrigation system, examined several proposed ways of increasing water delivery. Among the proposals were: lining the main canals with concrete or plastic..installing sprinkler mains...installing stream flow gauges... pumping water from the Flathead River...drilling irrigation wells, and raising storage re- servoirs. The report analyses each of these proposals on a cost-benefit scale and rejects as too expensive all but the first three engineering projects. According to the firm's figures, the canal lining project would produce as much as eight times much benefit as costs. The report claims that 1,300 miles of ancient leaky canals are cur- rently losing about 50% of the water caotured by the project. By lining four principal canals in the Mission Mountain district, some 90.700 acre feet of water could be saved, according to the report. In all, nine canal systems were analysed with a claimed savings of some 115,700 acre feet of water. The total estimated cost of Projects (Page 10) NEW ALCOHOLISM COMPLEX Ronan: The reservation alcoholism program will be moving under a new roof perhaps as soon as October. The roof, a one story office, clinic and out-patient facility, will be located in Ronan on Highway 93 just north of the Dairy Queen. It is hoped that construction will begin shortly after building bids have been opened on June 15. According to Alcoholism Director, Harold "Sarge" Campbell, the new complex will bring together all facets of the reservation's program to cope with problem drinking. Plans call for an outpatient de-tox center in one wing of the new building. This facility will provide care for patients needing medical services. The building will also house the program's Half-way House in another wing. The Half-way House pro- COMPLEX(Page 2) HOT SPRINGS TIMBER SALE TRIPLES APPRAISAL Ronan: Indian logger, Kendall Dupuis, Poison topped nine other bidders May 16, for 24.5-million board feet of tribal timber in the Hot Springs logging unit. Dupuis offered a total of $1,521,196.96 for the largest reservation logging sale of the year. It was Dupuis' second successful bid in the past three months. April 1, he landed the 2-million board feet Fringe unit in Indian preference bidding. His high bid for the Hot Springs unit came in open bidding against large Missoula and local logging firms. Dupuis' bid was roughly three times the BIA Forestry appraisal for the unit. The Hot Springs timber was estimated in December to be worth $424,305.60. Dupuis out-bid the bureau's pine appraisal with an offer of $90.19 com- pared to an estimated value of $46.15. His bid on fir and other species was $53.19 compared to the bureau's appraisal of $9.15. Dupuis' bid must still be approved by the council. If approved, it will carry a new 60 per-cent of bid price minimum stumpage specification. This means that tribal revenue from the sale can not go below 60 per-cent of Dupuis' bid, or $54.11 for pine. According to the new contract provision, if the market does fall below 60 per-cent, logging operations stop and the logger is exempted from penalties The Pack River Mill in Poison was the second highest bidder for the Hot Springs unit with an offer of $1,446,938.26. The Intermountain company of Missoula was third with a total offer of $1,434,411.00. FLATHEAD MUSEUM OPENS St.Ignatius: One thing you can say about St.Ignatius Indian^craft dealer Doug Allard^.He never does anything in a small way. Allard, who ram-rodded the tribe's new constitution draft two years ago...and owns the largest craft shop in the area... opened his Flathead Indian Museum earlier this month with a spectacular three day celebration. And the new museum was worth all the fanfare. It contains thousands of North A-merican Indian exhibits from Athabascan parkas to Zuni silver craft. It is one of the ten largest privately owned Indian exhibits in the United States and is the realization of a decade of collecting and saving by Allard and his wife Carol. The festivities began with an afternoon pow-wow and MUSEUM (Cont. on page 15)

The group of 15 teenagers often do the grunt work to keep the equipment online and running at Pine View School, which has not only the most technology but also the oldest devices in Sarasota County schools, says the group's technology and testing coordinator Lyna Jimenez-Ruiz.
On campus, the teenagers get noticed, their statuses' suddenly elevated, when a teacher has a technology meltdown or a friend has an iPhone problem.
"You are able to give something. You get more respect," said Katriana Dubytz, 17, who spent all summer working on the school's computers.
In the tech support class, the Pine View students install software, prep computers for FCAT testing or update smart boards. They're the ones who answer teachers' questions, a reverse role for the students.
The teenagers cannot laugh when that mysterious computer malfunction ends up being something as simple as an unplugged cord, which happens more than you might think.
The students get something out of it, too. For them, it is practicing what they love.
As children, many stayed up all night playing computer games or figuring out how to build their own equipment from scratch. Their future majors in college will likely be computer science or engineering.
"I actually get to learn about something I'm interested in. I like technology. I like fixing technology," said senior Thomas Pring, 18, of Sarasota.
They respond to 300 requests a week for help, free labor at a time when the district anticipates tight financial times ahead.
Pine View's list of ever-breaking, needs a tune-up equipment includes 1,502 laptops and desktops, 125 digital cameras, 124 smart boards and 26 scanners.
The students' rewards are popcorn or sweets, especially from the elementary teachers' stash.
But not all are so appreciative.
On a recent day, a class of 18 second-graders and their teacher ignored Henry Gordon, 16, as he fixed some stubborn computers.
Henry, dressed in dark jeans, a striped shirt and Adidas sneakers, waited as the four laptops reloaded. The desk of computers seemed out of place in the classroom, full of cutsy things, like smiling snowmen cutouts on the wall.
When the computers were fixed — their frozen screens working properly again — Henry left, quietly, while the teacher did not even look up. Not everybody says thank you to the help.
"Sometimes the teachers aren't always on your side," said Henry, a junior from Siesta Key.
But for the students, it's on-the-job training how to be polite, how to deal with a teacher whose blood pressure is rising when a computer breaks down in the middle of class.
At least, the tech students have their own teacher who will listen.
"If you need to vent, you come here with me," Ruiz said. "It won't go out of the four walls."
