Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Engineering challenges are fun activities that are frequently assigned to students in physics or engineering classes, but they can easily be used outside of these venues. An engineering challenge usually has a simple goal and some rules about what sorts of materials you are allowed to use. These are great ways to get people thinking creatively and to foster teamwork and competition. Try an engineering challenge at a birthday party, office outing, scout meeting, or any other gathering where you want to have fun and encourage creativity.
In The Bridge challenge, each team is given some building materials such as glue, toothpicks, popsicle sticks, or small pieces of wood. Each team should get the same amount of materials. The goal is to build a bridge that can span a 24-inch distance and support increasing amounts of weight. The bridge that can support the most weight before breaking is the winner. gos-sa-mer
adj :: Sheer, light, delicate, or tenuous. "You can see through the gossamer wings of the butterfly." If you find that you cannot remember the answer to a question that you know you studied, try to imagine the place where you learned it. If you studied the material in the library, imagine the library. Try to recreate the entire context of where and how you learned the material: visualize the book, even the page where you found the material. Were there any diagrams on that page? What time of day were you studying the material?
Since the mind connects information in all sorts of ways, the contextual cues will give you a better chance at recalling what you learned. |

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Photoshop
So you thought you'd always be a member in good standing of the Photoshop Club, simply by upgrading every second or third version? With the recent announcement of mandatory Creative Cloud subscriptions to Photoshop and the other applications that once formed a part of its Creative Suites, Adobe has effectively shattered that illusion. So welcome to the new world, in which you'll be shelling out each month and every month until the next millennium for the right to run Photoshop. And if you stop subscribing? Good luck opening your files with a third-party application.
The Apple iPhone Domino Effect
Apple's transition to a post-Jobs era has to date been a difficult one, marked by a slowing of innovation, a tanking stock price and this week's recent quarterly report marked by the firm's first drop in profits in a decade. On the other hand, Apple is sitting on a cash mountain, iPhone and iPad sales remain strong, iTunes continues to dominate music sales, the App Store is booming, the sales in Apple retail operations are off the charts, and so on.

April 22, 2013, 4:30 AMWhy Don't We All Love Adobe?
After all, designers and developers spend most of their time creating the experiences made possible by Adobe tools, which has been the case for a very long time. On a shelf a few feet away from me sits a battered cardboard sleeve in which rests my first purchase of Photoshop, the classic version 3.0 from 1994. Marking the arrival of layers, it instantly transformed image editing. But by then Adobe had long set in motion the digital publishing and graphics revolution by creating the PostScript language, which turned the 1985 Apple LaserWriter into a magical publishing machine for everyone.

February 21, 2013, 4:07 AMI'm Buying an HTC One for the Wrong Reasons. And I Don't Care!
I'll admit I'm not a very intense phone user. So until this morning my aging HTC Desire was everything I needed in a smartphone. Or so I thought. It worked reliably, felt good in the hand, had a simple but elegant interface. But now I can't wait to dump it. What's changed, you ask? Well, this morning I had the misfortune to stumble across HTC's new flagship phone, the One. And now I can't stop thinking about it. So you can chalk me up as just another digital sucker, dazzled by the latest gadget.
The Darwinian Evolution of Photoshop
Now well into its third decade of existence, Photoshop does indeed seem to incarnate Darwin's theory of evolutionary adaptation by natural selection, as put forward in On the Origin of the Species. And while Photoshop's rise to dominence has been inexorable one has to sometimes wonder — is it in our best interests that there is no viable alternative? Something to ponder while scrolling through this nicely-done Photoshop timeline.
February 2, 2013, 8:35 AMPaperman: When CGI Meets Hand-drawn Animation
The days are long over when Disney rested on its animation laurels and for some years now it has been successful in releasing a stream of movies that for the most part have been well received at the box office. This has been thanks to the firm continuing to surprise audiences with its technical prowess, while sticking to its tried and true formula of banal, feel-good plotlines.
November 15, 2012, 9:52 AMAdobe 2012 Design Achievement Award Winners
Adobe recently announced the winners of its 12th annual Adobe Design Achievement Awards (ADAA) during a ceremony held at the DesignThinkers 2012 conference in Toronto, Ontario. The event honored students and educators whose winning projects were selected from 41 finalists out of nearly 5,000 total entries from 70 countries. Student graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, animators, digital filmmakers, developers and computer artists were invited to submit individual or group projects created with Adobe software. Winning students were recognized in 13 categories encompassing interactive media, video and motion, and traditional media; educators were recognized in three categories celebrating innovative teaching methods. All the 2012 winners are shown below, with all the finalists also on display on the ADAA site.
November 8, 2012, 4:34 AMAdobe's Change the World Challenge
Beyond simply developing tools that enable people to harness their creativity to communicate across print and digital media, Adobe has a long track record of championing the value of creativity itself. So it's no surprise that this week the firm released a study that supports this. Based on interviews with 1,000 full-time salaried workers aged 25 and older having at least a four-year college degree, Creativity and Education: Why it Matters, provided as a PDF, makes for some interesting reading.
November 2, 2012, 10:59 AMThe 2012 animago Awards
The animago awards have been spotlighting great work in the digital media production and visualisation domains since 1997. The 2012 awards were revealed last week, chosen from a field of 950 entries submitted from more than 50 countries. I've included all the award winners here, with some being teasers and others the entire work. Above is the launch trailer for Mass Effect 3: Take Earth Back. Created by Digic Pictures, Hungary, it snagged Best Post Production. You'll find some great work here. My favorites? The Chase, for its relentless action and amusing finish, and the sobering Ending Fishing. Although, the Cartier clip is visually stunning. Okay, okay, I liked all of them. Well, all except that weird Jury's Prize winner. Someone explain that to me.
October 24, 2012, 4:14 AMDrawing with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2
One tends to think of Apple devices as being the only ones suitable for drawing, but even a humble Android phone can get the job done, it would seem. The clip above is a speed drawing of a character created on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile. the author is Gérémy Arène, who is self taught and has simply always liked to draw. Gérémy has tried the iPad but finds that the Wacom digitizing technology embedded in the display technology of the Galaxy Note 2, coupled with the fine tip of the S-Pen stylus and 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, provide him with a more responsive drawing experience. In contrast, the Pogo Connect stylus delivers just a few hundred levels of sensitivity when used with the iPad version of Sketchbook.

Discovering Art the Art.sy Way
The first time you visit the Art.sy site you might think that you've stumbled onto a modest labor of love, created by those with a passion for art. In this you'd be only half right, since it turns out that there's some serious horsepower behind the initiative, which has no less of a mission than "to make all the world's art freely accessible to anyone with an Internet connection."
The Watery World of Photographer Markus Reugels
German photographer Markus Reugels has been creating a striking series of high-speed photographs made with just water and ink — image manipulation with Photoshop plays no role in the process. I've shown some favorites here, with many more displayed on Reugels' site.
September 26, 2012, 5:36 AMAdobe Returns to its Typographic Roots
Decades ago, Adobe was a champion of the use of professional-quality digital fonts, not only by creating its own library but by playing a key role in the development of font formats and fully supporting OpenType within its Creative Suite applications. That initiative had been put on the back burner in recent years, so it was good to see that with its purchase of the Typekit web fonts service last year it was back in the game. Typekit has been a significant part of Creative Cloud subscriptions since Adobe launched its membership-based service in May. This week the Typekit offering received a major upgrade as part of Adobe's rollout of its Edge Tools and Services. The clip above is an extract covering just the typographic announcements.
September 18, 2012, 5:39 AMA Colorful Glimpse of the Past
There's something undeniably compelling about the first works created in any medium, which in the domain of film go back to the turn of the 20th century. In this category I'd include the animations of Émile Cohl and the fantastic films of George Méliès. You could go even further back and watch the films shot by the Lumière brothers in 1895. And now we can watch the first color films, created in England between 1901 and 1902.

Working with Konqueror 3.4
Following in the tracks of previous invaders such as Navigator and the Internet Explorer, Konqueror is on a mission conquer the Internet. The KDE 3.4 version of Konqueror is a truly versatile tool that feels at home on the web.
Many have criticized the fact that Internet Explorer is inseparably linked with the Windows system. KDE has its own native browser, and though Konqueror's position in the world of Linux is not quite as dominant as IE's is in Windows, the latest version of Konqueror provides new features for integrating Konqueror with user experience. This article examines some practical and lesser known features of Konqueror on the KDE 3.4 desktop. Setting Up
Installing KDE automatically puts Konqueror on your hard disk. The KDE desktop command headquarters is part of the kdebase package, and the version number for the package reflects the KDE version you have installed. The major distributors all have matching numbers, even though they may not have the latest offerings. So if you are interested in checking out the latest KDE 3.4 version, be prepared for some manual steps.

Cobscook Bay State Park
If Maine camping is your goal, Cobscook Bay State Park should be your destination. Surrounded on three sides by ocean, the park provides numerous remote campsites along the water's edge. The oceanfront, comprised of Cobscook Bay and Whiting Bay, gives a feeling of island camping to the park, even though you never actually leave the mainland.
Most of the pristine, waterfront campsites are reserved for tent-bound campers. Cobscook Point, Broad Cove, and the Harbor Point area all offer remarkable camping experiences. The beautiful tent-only spots allow Maine campers to observe the dramatic swing in the area tides. Come witness first-hand the extreme ocean movement at this point along the Maine coast. No wonder the native Indians named the area Cobscook, which means "boiling tides."
Low tide serves up an enchanting invitation to venture out onto the mud flats for some famous Maine clamming, which is perfectly legal. And besides the fabulous waterfront locations, Cobscook Bay State Park has other fun camping areas. The park offers visitors a rare opportunity to traverse the coastline from Cobscook Bay to Passamaquody Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. Awesome!
The camping season is from 15 May to 15 October, and leashed pets are welcome. So pack your gear for a Maine camping trip, and remember to toss in a bucket and a fork. A clam bake is waiting.

Hospitality provider at Yosemite, Shenandoah and other parks locations already busy serving guests, taking reservations
BUFFALO, N.Y., Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts has opened all of its lodging, dining, educational, and recreational services at each national park in which it operates, including Yosemite, Shenandoah, Yellowstone, and Sequoia national parks.
Employees at these locations have been called back to accommodate and serve guests.
"We've been ready and waiting for this day, so it's great to have our reservation lines ringing off the hook with people already booking their parks vacations," said Rick Abramson, president of Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts.

They were out there today at Yosemite, Shenandoah, Yellowstone and other locations working in the early hours of the morning to begin reopening restaurants, stores and lodges so people can once again have special experiences and enjoy the majesty of our national parks," Abramson said.
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, which Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts operates for NASA, remained open during the government shutdown and will resume offering bus tours onto Kennedy Space Center to the Apollo/Saturn V Center on Friday.

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is not funded through appropriated or taxpayer funds.

text: On The Posner Show, Sarah speaks with Emily about Republican efforts to win over Jewish voters. Michele Bachmann offended some congregants at a Chicago synagogue when she showed up for Yom Kippur services. Emily argues that Jews have become a "set piece" in the presidential campaign. As Sheldon Adelson's millions are being spent on persuading a tiny fraction of Jews to vote for Romney, who are Republicans really talking to when they talk about Israel? A new poll of American Jewish opinion confirms once again that Jews are overwhelmingly liberal—but do they support Obama's Israel policy? And why doesn't the poll ask about the occupation?

Below is an edited version to Fiegl's article above based on treating women and men equally...
Gentlemen Last, but Catching Up
How long do you have? It depends on gender and geography. In the U.S., women live longer—81 years on average, 76 for men—but a recent study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation reveals a promising trend. While women gained 2.7 years from 1989 to 2009, men are catching up, gaining 4.6 years.
In the late 1800s American men and women had about equal life expectancies of 40 to 48 years. During the 20th century reduced infant mortality, vaccines, improved job and transportation safety, public health programs, better and more secure food supply, and other quality of life and health care improvements increased the life expectancy of women and men dramatically. But these improvements benefited women far more than men topping out in the 1970s when women's life expectancy exceeding men's by 7.8 years (U.S. Census data). In the last three decades men, finally, are beginning to catch up, now only 5 years behind.
Geographic gaps have also widened; parts of the South are a full decade behind places like coastal California. Public health initiatives like smoking bans and more sidewalks have made a big difference.
"People are living to 86, on average, in some parts of the world. Why shouldn't Americans do the same?", says study co-author Ali Mokdad. Focusing on men's health to achieve the same lifespan as American women would get us about half way there. Addressing regional differences will get us even closer.

Well, I've finally made the first dent in the process of getting "Bones of Ash, Heart of Glass" turned into an e-book…I found quite a few sites that offer free software to make/publish your own e-book. And since I've decided that it should be free, in order to reach more people, and thus do more toward our ultimate goal of raising awareness of/for abuse victims of all ages and sexes, using a free service to publish it makes sense to me.
I believe I'll be ready within the week to start collecting submissions by email, after I write up submission guidelines and rules. I need to make a cover image…unfortunately, I can't draw, paint or otherwise create visually. I can describe perfectly what I want it to look like…but that's not helpful. ;)
Also, I visited/read around 400 posts today, as things had built up from my having to skip several days because of my hands cramping. Still not sure what that was about, but since it seems to be over for now, not worrying about it.
And got another 1,000 words done on Blue and Grey…that makes 4,500 and some, now. Officially the most I've written on any one project, ever. *laughs* I'm considering, if it looks like I can get it done under 7,000, making it a short story instead. It all depends on where the story goes from here.
The frustration comes from the overly emotional way I've been reacting to people's posts/creations on the subject of abuse. I suppose it's mostly due to my not even knowing that this was National Abuse Awareness Month or whatever. When I started working on "Bones", it was a singular project, one I could feel good about imagining into life…and now it's turned into just another attempt to cash in on the month (and bring awareness, as well, mind you) like so many others. It's not, really…none of them are…but my frustration at having my personal idea taken away once again…*grumbles*
It's a perpetual problem for me. It feels like I must be some sort of unconscious predictor of trends…every time I get a look or style or hobby or music or book series or obscure-but-awesome movie…it suddenly, usually within weeks, bursts into a "phenomenon" and everyone just assumes I'm following the trend. Meh and Bleah.
A for-instance…my pink-and-black look. I started it because I wanted something to go with/match my ears, and the colors looked good together, and on me. A week or so later, when I went to the Mall, it'd become the new "fad" with the younger/teen set. *sighs* Oh, well, at least it makes it easy to shop for! ;)
Heh…yay ego. I'll get over it. Just wanted to say, as that's most likely what's been causing all the delay on working on the book.
Thanks for listening, and if you have any advice or questions, don't hesitate to comment!

On motion of Mr. DUNCAN the bill [H. R. 256] to provide a fund for the permanent endowment of the State University, under a setting aside of the Constitutional restriction, by a two-thirds vote was read the second time by title, the third time by sections.
Mr. DUNCAN explained: It authorizes a levy of one-half cent on each $100 valuation for twelve years. It passed the House by a vote of 70 to 21. The bill, as a matter of economy and good mannagement of the State's indebtedness, and put into a non-negotiable 5 per cent University endowment fund bond. We appropriate annually $23,000 for the management of the University, and at the end of twelve years this plan would amount to but $4,000 more than under the present plan. By the levy of this tax the annual appropriation would be done away with, thus, making a large saving. This would place the University on a firm foundation, so it will not hereafter be the creature of every Legislature. It would have an annual revenue derived from interest on this non-negotiable bond. Such an interest should be kept free from sectarian basis. We owe a duty to the people of the State to place that Institution on a permanent foundation. The bill provides the fund shall follow the Institution should it be consolidated with another or removed from the present location.
Mr. HENRY moved to amend so that the fund would be held for a consolidated institution should the University ever be consolidated with another. He was a friend of the Institution. The word "thereafter," an indefinite term, is probably wrongly used, and this amendment proposes to make that word "hereafter," thus making it definite. The time will come when the Educational Institutions of the State should be consolidated. This is a way to prevent the constant changes made by every Legislature.
Mr. BROWN said there was no better friend on the floor to this Institution than himself. He favored the amendment and hoped it would be adopted, with the assurance from the author of the amendment, if the House refuses to concur, he was willing to have the Senate recede therefrom.
The bill,as amended, passed by yeas, 37; nays, 4.
On motion by Mr. COMPTON the bill [H. R. 224] to legalize the incorporation of Carbon, Clay County was read twice by title, the third time by sections, under a setting aside of the Constitutional rule by a two-thirds vote, and passed by yeas, 40; nays, 0.

About the Computer Society
We are Computer Engineers. We are Computer Scientists. We program. We hack. We build. We tinker with things that probably shouldn't be tinkered with. We inspire others to tinker with things, too. We help other students and organisations however we can - usually by hosting their websites and the like, and soon by printing 3D models for them. We design whatever we feel like, everything from a simple tripwire (made with lasers) to a full-blown multi-touch table. We build things and inspire, but most of all we have fun doing it. We will take your broken keyboard, play with it a bit, and make it do something awesome. When we're not doing any of that, we'll read things online to find other cool things we can do.
We are boilermakers. We are the IEEE Computer Society, and what we make moves the world forward.

Latest comic
Year in Review |
Title text: All in all, I give this year a C-. There were no aurora visible from my house and that comet evaporated. They'd better not cancel the 2017 eclipse. |
Many news organizations will recap the major stories of the past calendar year in late December (typically before the year has actually ended). This includes specialized news outlets such as sports stations which recap major sports stories or best plays of the year, for example). Here, Cueball expects Megan to talk about major news stories of 2013 such as the rollout of Obamacare, the election of Pope Francis or the death of Nelson Mandela, as examples. Instead, Megan only recaps one thing which was important to her: She did not see the aurora (Northern Lights) in 2013, the dazzling natural geomagnetic light display caused by the Solar wind. In 2013 a solar maximum was expected at its solar cycle, but the activity of the sun wasn't heavy as before. So, a Northern Light had been very rare in this year.
The title text refers to Comet ISON. In February, a rough estimate of the comet's behavior predicted that it would become brighter than the full moon, a prediction that was widely reported by the media even though it was based on limited data and astronomers knew that it would not reach this brightness. In the end, although it was visible to the naked eye, it was never as bright as anybody hoped and apparently disintegrated on November 28, 2013 at its closed approach to the sun.
The title text also refers to the 2017 total eclipse, which will be visible (as a partial eclipse) for a few hours throughout North America on August 21 Monday, including a 100-mile band across the United States where it will be a total eclipse for a couple of minutes in the early afternoon. Although the weather may be cloudy, eclipses are highly predictable, so Megan is being extremely pessimistic to even suggest that it might not occur.
All in all, the comic suggests that the only events of significance to Megan (and Randall) are astronomical ones; the actions of humanity pale in comparison.
The joke of Megan answering a question in an interview in a unexpected manner has been used before in 1111: Premiere.
- [Cueball, the TV host, introduces Megan, the reporter.]
- Cueball: We go live to our 2013: Year in Review!
- Megan: Thanks! In 2013, I didn't see an aurora.
- Cueball: I- what?
- Megan: The northern lights. I thought this would finally be the year. But it didn't happen.
- Cueball: Oh. Uh...what about the rest of the year?
- Megan: What do you mean?
- Cueball: Any big news stories?
- Megan: Oh yeah, tons.
- [Megan looks off screen to her left.]
- Cueball: ...Well, that was 2013: Year in Review.
- Megan: The sky's clearing up. I'll be outside.
- [Megan walks off camera.]

During the summer, southeastern Utah's high desert is like a furnace where the wind whips hot air over a seemingly endless expanse of arid terrain. Particles of sand erode and are re-deposited in new areas, collapsing old formations and slowly building sedimentary rock that will hold up new ones.
The flora and fauna that live amidst those gusts are some of Mother Nature's toughest and most resourceful creations, enduring months without a drop of rain and withstanding desert heat and sub-freezing temperatures.
Arches National Park is home to this wildlife as well as the world's highest concentration of natural sandstone arches. From the largest, Landscape Arch, to the tallest, Double Arch South, the park's 119 square miles are one of the most unique places on earth.
Park stats: The visitor count at Arches has steadily increased since 2004. The park drew more than 1 million guests last year and has averaged that many since 2008.
The location: Arches National Park is located in southeast Utah, about five miles north of Moab. There are airports in Moab, Salt Lake City, about four hours away and Grand Junction, Colo., about two hours away.
If you go: Park admission is $10 per vehicle. Individual admission is $5. Admission is valid for seven days.
Park passports are $25 and provide entry to Arches, Canyonlands National Park, Hovenweep National Monument and Natural Bridges National Monument. They are valid for one year.
The visitor center is open every day except Christmas, but be sure to check the website as hours change according to the season.
Meet our ranger: Kait Thomas, an interpretive ranger at Arches National Park, grew up in Monrovia, Ind. When she was 11, her dad started taking her on annual vacations to national parks in the western United States. The experience had a profound effect on her, she says.
"I knew I wanted to move west," says Thomas, 25. "I wanted to be a part of the beauty that you find in national parks."
But Thomas, 25, became a pre-law student when she moved to Salt Lake City for college. On the way back to school after a 2008 summer internship working for a political campaign, she had her "Aha!" moment, realizing she completed the dream to move west, but not the one to work for the national park service.
"I just waltzed in to Arches National Park visitor center and asked if they needed help," she says.
At first, the answer was "No, thanks." But Thomas says a combination of her stubbornness and a supervisor's willingness to listen during a 45-minute impromptu meeting led to her volunteering for six weeks in 2008. In 2009, the supervisor invited her to become a seasonal ranger. In 2010 Thomas became a full-time ranger.
"It really is the first part of the country that I fell in love with," she says. "There is something about the desert and how hostile, dramatic and colorful it is. You have this contrast of something that is incredibly harsh yet unbelievably delicate."
For a day trip don't miss: The Windows trail hike. Thomas says the area has the highest concentration of arches in the park, including five that range from 60 to 100 feet high.
"It's a nice summary of the park," she says. "It's the most bang for the buck, if you will."
Favorite less-traveled spot: Hiking to Tower Arch from Klondike Bluff. Thomas says reaching Klondike Bluff requires driving on a dirt road that will not support RVs or buses. It's about 3.5 miles from Klondike Bluff to tower Arch, she says.
"It's a great place to escape all the hustle and bustle you find everywhere else in the park," she says.
Favorite spot to view wildlife: Courthouse Wash. Thomas says hot summer temperatures make seeing wildlife difficult. But you can see mule deer, coyotes and bobcats at Courthouse Wash as well as big horn sheep near the visitor center from October through December.
Most magical moment in the park: Having lunch in the shade of Wall Arch the day before it collapsed in August of 2008.
Thomas said she was patrolling Devil's Garden Trail when the temperature hit 105, and she stopped at Wall Arch to rest and eat. The next day a group of tourists came into the visitor center and wanted to know why the trail was blocked. Thomas and other rangers went to investigate and discovered the arch had collapsed.
"I realized geology is always happening," she says. "One sand of grain could have fallen and the whole thing pops and collapses. We don't have any answers as to when (the arches will fall) but that is why it is so special to be here now."
Funniest moment in the park: Discovering that five members of a Norteño band, dressed in full concert costume, had lugged their instruments three miles to Delicate Arch and began belting out tunes under its shade. (Norteño music generally comes from northern Mexico and Texas. It features an accordion that produces musical rhythms similar to polkas.)
"We informed them they needed a permit (to play inside the park)," she says.
Oddest moment at the park: An excited family asking her to identify 10 species of lizards they captured, put in a black box and had planned to take home.

A suggestion was made to consider an exchange affiliation at a cost of $15 per year. This will be discussed at length at a future meeting as information pertaining to it becomes available. It was also suggested that a volunteer form be kept up by each teacher, listing pertinant information regarding volunteer performance, grade level best suited to the individuals pro¬ gram, and any other additional information deemed necessary. In this manner it was felt each teacher could better determine how well the volunteer would fit into his particular program.

Toughest call: How far to jump Arizona after Friday's win over Duke. You could make the argument the Wildcats deserve to be No. 1. In addition to Duke, they have beaten San Diego State -- which just won the Wooden Legacy Tournament -- on the road. In the end, I stuck with Michigan State because the Spartans have a big win of their own -- over Kentucky -- and did nothing last week to lose the top spot. But that may change soon.

Pac-12 POW Carson shines against Marquette
For the first time this season, Jahii Carson battled some adversity Monday night. The Arizona State sophomore point guard sat out the final seven minutes of the first half with two fouls. Then he picked up his third on Marquette's first possession of the second half. Coach Herb Sendek, however, stuck with Carson, and the move paid off in a 79-77 win over the No. 25 Golden Eagles. In ASU's first win over a ranked team three years, Carson, the Pac-12's Player of the Week, had 23 points and five assists. He shot 9 of 17 from the field, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range. With ASU entering this week's Wooden Legacy holiday tournament in Anaheim, Carson averages 23 points, but that's not what most impressed Marquette coach Buzz Williams. "His physical gifts are obvious, but I think he makes his teammates better,'' Williams said. "He gives the ball to (sophomore forward Jonathan Gilling) where he can catch and shoot. He gives the ball to (senior center Jordan Bachynski) where he can turn over his right shoulder. I think he understands what (senior guard Jermaine Marshall) is. I think he understands what (senior wing Shaquielle McKissic) and (freshman wing Egor Koulechov) are. That's what you want in a lead guard. He's talented, but does he make his teammates better? I think he definitely does." Marquette switched from zone defense to man-to-man throughout the contest. Derrick Wilson, a 6-foot-1 junior, matched up against the 5-10 Carson for most of the night, but 6-7 forward Jamil Wilson defended the point guard as well. "He's fast and he gets lower than a defender, so it's tough,'' Derrick Wilson said. "He's a really good player. We tried to get him in foul trouble and get him out of there, but I couldn't do that the whole game. He kind of played off (defensively). But he's a tremendous player; probably going to the league next year." Follow me on Twitter.

The ballot I sent in for this week's AP Top 25. The poll moves Monday ... 1. Michigan State (6-0). 2. Kansas (4-0). 3. Kentucky (4-1). 4. Arizona (5-0). 5. Oklahoma State (4-0). 6. Duke (5-1). 7.

Also considered: Iowa, Virginia, Xavier, Charlotte. Toughest call: Ranking North Carolina seven spots behind Louisville. The Tar Heels defeated Louisville 93-84 on Sunday, a stunning reversal after losing to Belmont on their home court just a week earlier (and struggling with Holy Cross just a few days before that). The Louisville win is big, but I don't think it excuses the Belmont loss. North Carolina, by the way, is playing without two key pieces -- guards P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald -- because of eligibility issues. Why not Arizona State? Analyst Bill Raftery likes the undefeated Sun Devils, but their five opponents are a combined 10-14. A strong effort this week -- Monday vs. Marquette and against Creighton in the Wooden Legacy -- will get them on my ballot. BIG GAMES Monday: Marquette at Arizona State, FOX Sports 1.

Pac12 Insider: ASU's best team defense, power rankings, double-doubles and more
This week in Pac-12 basketball ... During a recent interview with Arizona State assistant coach Larry Greer, he told me he felt like the Sun Devils played their best team defense in nearly two years during their Nov. 12 win over Miami, Ohio. I asked him to explain and he called up Miami's first possession. Four screen shots show ASU's effort. As the ball swings to the right wing, Miami guard Reggie Johnson -- defended by ASU senior Shaquielle McKissic -- cuts down the lane. Sophomore point guard Jahii Carson, however, sees the cutter and reacts. "He's holding Shaq's man for a second," Greer said. "We call that a tag, so he's tagging to help him." The ball swings to the right wing to Blake McLimans, a 6-foot-10 forward with 3-point range. Knowing this, ASU center Jordan Bachynski doesn't give him much room. McLimans passes back to the key. Johnson comes up and sets a backscreen on Bachynski and McLimans cuts through the lane, headed for the left block. McKissic, however, bumps him on his way through, giving Bachynski time to recover. ASU's third smart play: After Miami's Johnson set a backscreen on Bachynski, he goes to the key and sets a backscreen for teammate Will Felder, who's guarded by ASU's Jonathan Gilling. Felder cuts to the basket, but ASU guard Jermaine Marshall helps from the right wing, giving Gilling time to recover. After 10 passes -- all on the perimeter -- Miami is running out of time, so Johnson launches a 3-pointer from the left wing. At this point, ASU makes its only mistake of the defensive possession. "The only thing we don't do great in this situation is we all go for the rebound (when) they should be looking at 33 and 5 to see if they're going for the rebound," Greer said. POWER RANKINGS DOUBLE-DOUBLE PRODUCTION ASU's Jordan Bachynski recorded his fifth-consecutive double-double in Friday's win over Bradley. The 7-foot-2 center is the Pac-12's only player to post double-doubles in every game. Nationally, entering Saturday, only three players had done so. They are: Kentucky's Julius Randle and New Mexico's Alex Kirk. Bachynski -- averaging 14 points and 12 rebounds -- had only five career double-doubles entering the season. TRIPLE-DOUBLE PRODUCTION UCLA's Kyle Anderson posted his first career triple-double, collecting 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in Friday's win over Morehead State. (Anderson also had one in an exhibition win as well.) Former Cal point guard Jason Kidd holds the Pac-12 record with four triple-doubles (stats go back to 1985). Anderson could challenge. Entering Sunday's game against Chattanooga, he's averaging 10.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8 assists. SCOUTING THE FUTURE I asked a high-school recruiting expert for evaluations on the two biggest players (both from California) who have signed to play at the Arizona schools: *Stanley Johnson, 5-star SF at Mater Dei High, going to Arizona: "He's a stud. A power-wing type who can play inside and out. A much improved shooter. He can bully his way to the hole and convert. Not as explosive as others would say. He's physically maxed out. He struggles making plays against length and quickness. That being said, he should be a starter from Day 1 and should be up for All-Pac-12 honors as a freshman." *Tra Holder, 3/4-star PG at Brentwood High, going to ASU: "He's a solid scoring point guard. For me, though, he's a low-to-mid-major talent. Strengths: He's physically strong. He competes. He can score at all three levels. But he doesn't possess elite quickness or speed and he needs to learn how to manage a game. He plays too fast." ALL-PAC-12 (if the season ended today) ... F Kyle Anderson, UCLA. Doing just about everything for the Bruins. G Joseph Young, Oregon. Transfer is shooting nearly 70 percent from 2-point range. G Nick Johnson, Arizona. Wildcats have lots of talent, but no one is more important. G Roberto Nelson, Oregon State. At 30.3 ppg, senior is the nation's No. 2 scorer. G Jahii Carson, ASU. Point guard torched UNLV for 40 points and seven assists. Follow me on Twitter.
Notes from Las Vegas: Second-half rebounding, Bachynski and Koulechov play key role in ASU's win over UNLV
Crazy night in Vegas. Here's my story from Arizona State's 86-80 win over UNLV at The Thomas & Mack Center. It's all about the show Jahii Carson put on, collecting a career-high 40 points and seven assists. Other tidbits that shouldn't go unnoticed: *Senior Jordan Bachynski produced his fourth consecutive - and most impressive -- double-double. The 7-foot-2 center had his hands full against Vegas. Roscoe Smith and Khem Birch attacked him in the first half. Birch went around him and dunked. Smith grabbed nearly every rebound available. Those blocked shots that came so easily against Idaho State? Not the case against the athletic Rebels. But here's the thing: Bachynski regrouped and played a strong second half, and I'm not sure he would've done that last season. Bachynski played all but 23 seconds in the second half, producing eight points (on 4-of-4 shooting), nine rebounds and three blocked shots. He finished with 17 points and 15 rebounds. Solid effort. *ASU coach Herb Sendek can't afford to keep freshman Egor Koulechov off the floor. Along with Chance Murray, the 6-4 freshman was ASU's first sub,entering the contest four minutes into the contest. The Sun Devils at times used him to defend sharp-shooter Kevin Olekaibe, but mostly they just rode his energy, which Koulechov delivers better than anyone outside of Carson. Koulechov played 14 first-half minutes. Didn't shoot well (1 of 6), but grabbed seven rebounds, four on offense. Sendek stuck with senior Shaquielle McKissic to start the second half, but changed his mind and inserted Koulechov 28 seconds into the half. The freshman didn't come out again, finishing with five points, 10 rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots in 34 minutes. For his first college road game, in front of 12,915 fans, that's impressive. *Junior forward Jonathan Gilling didn't score a point. He missed all nine shots, almost all of which were good looks. He was clearly frustrated. After one second-half miss, Gilling turned to run back on defense, shaking his head as he did so. But here's the thing: You can't really say Gilling struggled -- not when he grabbed eight rebounds and dished six assists (with zero turnovers) in 30 minutes. Don't misunderstand. ASU needs Gilling to shoot the ball well. But many players check out when their shots don't fall. Gilling didn't. *There are a few ways to look at ASU's rebounding. Behind Roscoe Smith's 21 rebounds, UNLV had a 55-48 edge. At times in the first half, it was ugly, the Rebels taking a 12-board advantage into the locker room. But in the second, ASU turned it around and actually out-rebounded the Rebels 24-19. That's a remarkable reversal. Maybe the team's biggest accomplishment of this young season. Follow me on Twitter.

Toughest call: Michigan State over Kansas for No. 1. After defeating Kentucky, Michigan State struggled at home against Columbia, winning 62-53. And Kansas looked strong, beating Duke in the Champions Classic. Why not Arizona State?: The Sun Devils are outscoring opponents by 33 per game, but they should be.

ASU's Bachynski rejected NBA draft picks, rival Arizona and one tight end on way to school record
Jordan Bachynski is Arizona State's rejection king. The 7-foot-2 senior center blocked six shots in Friday's win over Idaho State, giving him 194 over his career. That broke the previous record of 191 set by Mario Bennett. A look inside Bachynski's blocked shots: *Fifty-four percent have come against Pac-12 competition. *Pac-12 opponents blocked the most: Arizona (17), Colorado (15) and UCLA (15). *Pac-12 opponents blocked the least: Stanford (2) and California (3). *Players blocked the most: Andre Roberson (Colorado) 6, Jesse Perry (Arizona) 5, Kyle Anderson (UCLA) 5 and Brock Motum (Washington State) 5. *NBA draft picks who have been swatted: Nine (Washington's Terrence Ross, USC's Nikola Vucevic, Colorado's Roberson, Washington's Tony Wroten, Arizona's Solomon Hill, UCLA's Shabazz Muhammad, Baylor's Quincy Acy, Arizona's Grant Jerrett and Baylor's Pierre Jackson). *Football players blocked: 1 (Washington tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins).

Sendek: 2014 recruiting class has ASU positioned well for future
In his eighth season, Herb Sendek feels good about the direction of his Arizona State program. The Sun Devils are coming off a 22-win season. They are expected to be a factor in this year's Pac-12 race. And Thursday, they locked up their 2014 recruiting class, one Sendek believes could be among his best. "I think it has a chance to be as good as any class we've had, and right now if you look at the three freshmen we have in the program who are all doing so well, we're really excited about where we're positioned moving forward,'' Sendek said. "I don't think since I've been here we've been better positioned with our recruiting." ASU signed six -- three high school players and three junior-college transfers -- during the early signing period, which started Wednesday. Sendek said he preferred splitting the class among high school and junior-college players because it provided better balance. Let's look at each: Tra Holder School: Brentwood (Calif.) High. Position: PG. Size: 6-1, 170. Ranking of note: Scout.com ranks him as a four-star prospect and the No. 20 point guard in the country. Sendek: "Tra is on a great trajectory. Everyone tells you that no one has improved more than Tra. He continues to get better because he's such an incredibly hard worker. I think he has a very bright future. He's ultra-ball quick. He can get in the lane and score or distribute to a teammate. And defensively, I think he can be a real pit bull." Kodi Justice School: Mesa Dobson High. Position: Wing. Size: 6-5, 175. Ranking of note: ESPN.com's No. 7 prospect in Arizona. Sendek: "Kodi is a local young man who's just passionate about the Sun Devils. He really wanted to be here at Arizona State. He's a real basketball junkie. He eats, sleeps and drinks basketball. He's approaching 6-6. He's a terrific range shooter. He has vision and very good ball skills." Connor MacDougall. School: Tempe Corona del Sol. Position: F-C. Size: 6-9, 220. Rankings: Scout.com ranks MacDougall as the nation's No. 17 center. Sendek: "Connor really wanted to be a Sun Devil. He's 6-9, long arms, rugged, tough. He's a great competitor and has a great feel for his teammates. He has terrific leadership. He can play both (post) positions in our system." Gerry Blakes. School: San Bernardino (Calif.) Community College. Position: G Size: 6-4, 180. Ranking of note: NextupRecruits ranks Blakes as the nation's No. 20 junior-college prospect. Sendek: "Gerry is a big guard. 6-4. Very versatile. Left-handed. He can score and can also set up his teammates. He also has a chance to be a terrific defender." Octavius Ellis. School: Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas. Position: F-C. Size: 6-10, 205. Ranking of note: NextupRecruits ranks Ellis as the nation's No. 11 junior-college prospect. Sendek: "Octavius really helps us defensively because he's a presence at the basket. He's a shot-blocker. Long, athletic. He has a good touch with his right or left hand. He can play either frontcourt position. He's also off to a great start this season, posting great numbers, especially rebounding and shot-blocking." Roosevelt Scott. School: Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa. Position: Wing. Size: 6-4/190. Ranking of note: NextUpRecruits ranks Scott as the nation's No. 35 junior-college prospect. Sendek: "Roosevelt is an elite athlete. If there's a better athlete out there, I haven't seen him. He's an amazing athlete when it comes to his quickness, his speed, his jumping ability. And the thing about him is he's relentless. He can literally be a one-man full-court press. He plays so hard and has such a tremendous motor. And he's off to a terrific start this year for Indian Hills. They're the No. 1 ranked team in the country and he's posting great numbers." ASU expects to lose five scholarship players off this season's roster. Center Jordan Bachynski, guard Jermaine Marshall, wing Shaquielle McKissic and forward Richie Edwards will exhaust their eligibility at season's end, and sophomore point guard Jahii Carson likely will make himself eligible for the NBA Draft.

Pac-12 Insider: Bachynski's rebounding, 3 early surprises, power rankings and hot water
This week's look inside the Pac-12 ... Arizona State's season is just two games old, but already Jordan Bachynski has achieved a milestone. In Tuesday's win over Miami, Ohio, the 7-foot-2 senior produced 16 points and 10 rebounds in 23 minutes, marking the first time in his career he's posted double-doubles in consecutive games. Bachynski also had 12 points and 15 rebounds in ASU's opener against Maryland-Baltimore County. Through two games, Bachynski is averaging 12.5 rebounds, which is more than double last season's production. His defensive-rebounding percentage -- measuring a player's rebounding production based on minutes played -- is 32.4 (up 16 points from season), ranking 36th nationally. "That's my No. 1 goal right now, to help my team in any way I can, and talking to our coaches that's the main way that I can help our team is to get those 50-50 balls,'' Bachynski said. "That's definitely been a focus." Coach Herb Sendek would like to see improvement on the offensive boards. With seven offensive rebounds, Bachynski's offensive-rebounding rate is 15.8, which ranks 128th nationally. "You're never going to hear me say anybody's rebounding too much, so there's room to get even better numbers,'' Sendek said. "But it's encouraging that he's started the season with 15 and 10." THREE EARLY SURPRISES *Gabe York, Arizona. A big question for the Wildcats entering the season: perimeter shooting. Through two games, York has provided an encouraging answer. The sophomore guard is 6 of 11 from long range. He hit only eight 3-pointers in limited action all last season. Entering Thursday's game against San Diego State, York is averaging 13 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists. *Colorado's struggles. "Struggles" might be a tad strong, but even so, the Buffaloes, expected to push Arizona for the Pac-12 regular-season title, have started slowly. They opened with a 72-60 loss to Baylor in Dallas, shooting 33 percent and assisting on just 10 of 22 field goals. After an easy win over UT-Martin, Colorado struggled at times Wednesday against Wyoming, posting a 63-58 home win. (Wyoming had defeated Colorado six consecutive times.) "If you guys are looking for the definition of the phrase 'winning ugly,' I think you saw it tonight,' coach Tad Boyle told reporters after game. Junior guard Spencer Dinwiddie, a Pac-12 Player of the Year candidate, has made just 6 of 24 field goals. *Parker's production. With UCLA short-handed in the post, sophomore Tony Parker has answered the call. The slimmed down 6-foot-9 forward recorded his first double-double in a win over Oakland with career highs of 21 points and 12 rebounds. He's averaging 13.5 points and 8.5 rebounds, which more than double's last season's production. UCLA is playing without Travis Wear (appendectomy) and transfer Wanaah Bail (knee). Both are expected to return soon. POWER RANKINGS BRIEFLY *Hot water: Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins -- who likely needs to get to the NCAA Tournament to save his job -- is off to a rocky start. After a close win over Bucknell, Stanford lost 112-103 at home to BYU. It was the first time the Cardinal gave up 100 points at home in a non-overtime game in 28 years. "No matter how well a team shot, we have to do better defensively, and that's something that we've done well, and has been a calling card of ours: defending," Dawkins told reporters. *Quick impact, Part I: T.J. McConnell is backing up his pass-first reputation. In two games, the Arizona transfer point guard, averaging just 4.0 points, has 14 assists and four turnovers. One oddity: McConnell, an 83.6 percent free-throw shooter during his final season at Duquesne, has missed all five attempts this season. *Quick impact, Part II: Guard Jermaine Marshall is making plays at both ends for ASU. In Tuesday's win over Miami, Ohio, the Penn State transfer nailed a 3-pointer on one end, then hustled down court and took a charge on the other. Marshall is averaging 18.5 points, shooting 46.7 percent from 3-point range. *Strange night: It's not often you see a player shoot 6 of 17 from the field (2 of 12 from 3-point range) and still finish with a career-high 28 points. But that's what Washington State junior guard DaVonte Lacy did in an opening win over CS-Bakersfield. His secret to success: Shooting 14 of 17 from the foul line. *Team leader: In two games, Oregon State's Roberto Nelson has set or matched career highs in two categories. In an opening loss to Coppin State, the senior guard scored 36 points, but his effort Wednesday was more impressive. In a 79-73 win over Portland, Nelson matched a career-high with seven assists, running the team during key moments. Coach Craig Robinson said he called a play at one point, but Nelson realized it wouldn't work, so instead the guard called another play. "(And) it wasn't for himself," Robinson told reporters. "That's next-level playing there." IF THE SEASON ENDED TODAY ... All-Pac-12 F Dwight Powell, Sr. Stanford. Dominant power forward off to a good start (22.5, 9.5) even if his team is not. F Aaron Gordon, Fr., Arizona. Active as expected, Gordon is averaging 13.5 points and 10 rebounds. G Roberto Nelson, Sr. Oregon State. High-scoring guard showing he can run the team as well. G Joseph Young, Jr., Oregon. Transfer guard posted 36 points (9-12/3-5/15-16) in win over Western Carolina. G Jahii Carson, Soph., ASU. 18 points and matched a career-high with eight assists in win over Miami, Ohio. Follow me on Twitter.

Hi I'm a bit new at linux but how the heck do i install this on Linux Mint ( which is essentially Ubuntu )? The instructions on the boxee download page do not work for me. My specific OS is Linux Mint " Elyssa " which is Ubuntu hardy. Would love to give this a whirl as boxee looks very impressive and seems to match the theme of Linux Mint very well.
Thanks guys ( or gals )
