WASHINGTON -- No list of great NCAA championship game moments is complete unless Keith Smart's jumper for Indiana in 1987 is on it.
Known by Hoosiers fans to this day as "The Shot," and known in much less complimentary terms by Syracuse faithful, that 16-foot jumper from the left side with 5 seconds to play is a film clip staple throughout March.
The memory of "The Shot," which gave Indiana a 74-73 victory, is still with Smart, now the coach of the Sacramento Kings, while Jim Boeheim, still the coach at Syracuse, revisited it every day for 16 years.
"It's pretty much every day," Smart said Wednesday when asked how often he thinks about the jumper that made him a hero in Bloomington and a villain in Syracuse. "Probably every other day something happens. I'll go somewhere to eat, or when we travel, I check into the hotel and somebody sees the name tag on the bag and they'll mention something about 'The Shot' then. Very seldom does a week go by without something that happens."
Boeheim knew exactly how long it took for him to stop thinking about Smart's play on a regular basis.
"We played very well in the game. When you lose a game like that, you really almost never get over it. I got over it in 2003," Boeheim said, referring to the Orange's first national championship, played in the same building - the New Orleans Super Dome. "I probably thought about it for those 16 years most of the time.
"I never think about it anymore. Coach (Bob) Knight was good after the game. He told me we would get back and win it, he just didn't tell me it would take 16 years. He's smart, just not that smart."
"The Shot" has been summoned from the archives even more than usual this week because Indiana and Syracuse will meet in the East Regional semifinal Thursday night, their fourth meeting since the national championship game, but the first in the NCAA tournament.
"Probably this year more than anything, you had more people talk about its significance," Smart said. "Even when I saw the brackets, I said, 'The possibility of them coming together is pretty high.' And lo and behold it came into play. You hear a little bit more conversation because of that now, because it happened against Syracuse."
A great championship game came down to the final minute. With 38 seconds left, Syracuse's Howard Triche - the uncle of current Orange guard Brandan Triche - made the first of two free throws for a 73-70 lead. Six seconds later Smart scored to cut the lead to one. Four seconds later, Syracuse freshman Derrick Coleman, who finished with 19 rebounds, missed the front end of a 1-and-1. Boeheim had taken his players off the lane, conceding the rebound. Smart got the rebound. The play was supposed to go to Steve Alford, the current coach at New Mexico, who had already made six 3-pointers in the first NCAA tournament played with a 3-point line.
"It was designated for Steve, of course, but we moved the ball around," Indiana's Daryl Thomas said that Monday night. "It came to me and I kicked it out to Keith and he hit the basket."
Smart, one of the first junior college transfers to play for Knight, summed up the play at the postgame news conference.
"Tonight was my turn. ... I thank Daryl for not taking the last shot and passing out to me. ... It was a wise decision on his part."
Twenty-six years later Smart is still talking about "The Shot" because people keep asking him about it.
"I understand it. Every person, boy, girl, man or child, they want to talk about the moment or what they were doing when it happened," he said. "I don't know this person and this person comes up with all this excitement, what am I supposed to do? 'Nah, nah, I don't want to talk to you?' Nah. That's your moment and if you want to talk about, let's talk. It's going to be brief anyway. I won't rain on their parade or anything like that."
Smart is quick to recall the first time he spoke with Boeheim about it.
"When we were getting ready for the draft, kind of doing some background on different players, I called Jim Boeheim because I was looking at Dion Waiters. I called to get some information on Dion," Smart said, referring to the Syracuse guard who went on to be the No. 4 overall pick by Cleveland last June. "I called him. I said, 'Coach, this is a name from the past.' He answers the phone and says, 'A name from the past?' I said, 'This is Keith Smart. Coach Smart.' He said, 'Keith Smart, Keith Smart, Keith Smart. Let me tell you: it took me a long time to get over that.' I said, 'Coach, I would not have called you if you hadn't won one. I'd have had somebody else give you a call.' We had a good conversation after that."
Brandan Triche said he and his uncle haven't spent much time talking about the game.
"I have seen him play, but I haven't seen the actual whole game," said Triche, who said he gets called Howard on occasion. "I think watching, it was like a missed assignment. I haven't directly talked to him about it."
As with all plays that decide a championship there are the two sides and their reaction.
"It's always difficult when you lose in the championship game, the last game of the year and the last shot," Boeheim said. "That's always a difficult thing."
Smart said his current players and family are proving his college coach correct.
"They replay it all the time, every year," Smart said of his players. "They all went to college and when Indiana gets beat somewhere, they're always like, 'Oh, Indiana lost or this or that.' But I'll always have the last laugh. I played at Indiana and I won.
"That's what Coach Knight said to us after the game, 'You guys have no idea what you've done. Sure, you've won a championship. But it won't really sink in until it's 25 or 30 years from now, when your kids see it. That came to fruition about 15 years ago, my son was probably around 10. We were waiting for the tournament to come on, and they showed 'The Shot.' My son goes, 'Dad, look at you!' I was like, 'Wow, cool.' Just like Coach said after the game that night. It came true."

Organization Inspiration: Family Entryways from Our House Tours
When you have kids, it can seem like there's a never-ending supply of items that need to be stored near the door: bags, coats, seasonal accessories, outdoor toys, shoes…the list goes on and on. Whether your entryway is large or small, there are plenty of ways to keep the mess at bay. Here are some entryways from our house tours to give you some ideas as to how to make the most of your own space.
Top Row:
1. Family Friendly Austin ModHouse: Rows of shoe cabinets keep the entryway organized and tidy without taking up too much space.
2. Audrey's Family Collection: A bench, shelves, and hooks make this small wall an incredibly functional area, and some stripes make it a happy first sight.
3. Linton & Rob's Colorful Family Home: By using vintage pieces of furniture as storage and adding books, art, and a piano to the room, this spacious entryway feels like an integrated part of the home rather than a corridor to other living areas.
4. The Figgle Family's Cozy First Home: Backpacks are kept at the ready thanks to some strategic hooks and shelves.
5. Chris & Colleen's Small, Hip Family Home: I love the idea of hanging mittens and gloves from clothespins. This keeps them tidy, while also turning them into an artistic feature.
Second Row:
1. Carl & Emma's Well-Traveled Family Home: Shoes are tucked neatly under a bench, while hooks keep accessories and bags organized.
2. Lucy & Thomas Say Goodbye to their Artful Family Home: A shoe cabinet on unused stair-landing space, topped with some colorful art turns into an empty corner into a handy and beautiful space.
3. Pam & Bryan's Comfortably Creative Family Home: In this narrow entryway, everything has a place.
4. Ralph & Michelle's One Big Happy Family Home: You'd never know that they have four kids, thanks to all the hidden storage in this entryway bench. This is a great solution for a narrow space.
5. Laurel & Conor's Silver Spring Family House: Colorful accents make this corner a cheery spot.

Jupiter leaves the evening sky this month. You can still see it during the next two weeks if you face southwest at dusk and look for the brightest point of light there. Jupiter sets by 7:30 as February opens, so you must look soon after dusk to see it. However, Jupiter sets earlier and earlier and appears lower and lower to the horizon each February night, and soon disappears into the sun's glare. On Tuesday, Feb. 16, observers with a clear view of the horizon during twilight can try to see a very close conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, which is slowly moving out of the sun's glare. By the end of the month, Earth and Jupiter are on opposite sides of the Sun and Jupiter is therefore invisible to us.
Mars has become an evening object. It is now already up in the east-northeast by dusk. Mars already outshines all stars in the night sky except the very brightest (Sirius), and will continue to brighten throughout February. On Jan. 29, Mars came to opposition as Earth passed between Mars and the sun, putting Mars in our sky all night long. Earth now starts to pull ahead of Mars on its faster orbit. As a result, Mars is slightly dimmer each night for the rest of 2010. However, during February, Mars remains about as bright as the brightest stars, and thus remains easy to see.
Saturn is now high in the southwest at dawn. Although not as bright as Mars this month, Saturn is brightening as it approaches its own opposition in March.

Dazzling Orion is high in the south, reminding us that winter is here. His belt points up to Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus, the Bull. The Dog Stars, Sirius and Procyon, are below Orion in the east. Sirius is the brightest star we ever see at night. Gemini, the Twins, are to Orion's left as he rises (and to his upper left once they appear to the south). Look for two stars of equal brightness less than 5 degrees (three fingers at arms' length) apart. These are Castor and Pollux, marking the twins' heads. High in the northeast is Capella, the sixth brightest star ever seen at night. On February and March evenings, look below Sirius and a bit to its right for Canopus, the second brightest star we ever see at night. This star is in the keel (bottom) of the legendary ship Argo. Canopus is so far south that most Americans never get to see it. We, however, are far enough to the south that it barely rises for us, remaining low on the southern horizon.
Moon Phases in February 2010:
Last Quarter February 5, 5:50 pm
New Moon February 13, 8:52 pm
1st Quarter February 21, 6:42 pm
Full Moon February 28, 10:37 am
The new moon of Feb. 13 is the second new moon after the winter solstice. Accordingly, it marks the Chinese New Year, beginning the Year of the Tiger. (Correct for the time zone difference, and you'll see that the date is February 14 in China).

Tom McKay passed away on July 1, 2013, at the Spokane Veteran's Hospital. Louise, his wife of nearly 72 years, was by his side.
Tom was born in Plains, Montana on May 21, 1919, the fifth child of John F. and Christie McKay. In 1932, the McKay family moved to Spokane, Wash., where Tom attended Havermale Jr. High and North Central High School. In 1937, Tom graduated from North Central and the next year enrolled at Eastern Washington College of Education.
He met Louise Strosnider and they married on August 17, 1941. In the spring of 1944, Tom was drafted into the infantry. He was wounded in action on June 9, 1945, on Okinawa. After Tom returned from the war, the family moved to Curlew where Tom taught school and then moved to Cheney where Tom received his Master's Degree.
In 1958, the family moved to Omak, where Tom taught sixth grade and Louise taught third. Tom was active in politics and the Okanogan County Historical Society. After retiring from teaching, Tom and Louise moved back to Curlew in 1981, where Tom built a beautiful home from cedar logs he cut down and sawmilled on his one-man sawmill.
Tom was active in the Democratic party, was president of the Ferry County Historical Society, and was very involved in the renovation of the historic Ansorge Hotel in Curlew.
He is survived by his wife, Louise; daughters, Colleen McKay (Kenneth Izutsu), and Nancy McKay (Kent Richardson); his son, Tom McKay (Loretta); and five grandchildren, Tom Amend, Kellie Cardwell, Kerrie Cardwell, John McKay and Michael McKay. His daughter, Christie McKay Cardwell, predeceased him in 1991. His brother, Gene McKay, and sister, Ann Ohler, live in Spokane.
Services will be held on July 10, 2013, at 1:00 p.m., at the Hennessey-Smith Funeral Home at 2203 North Division, Spokane, Wash. Donations may be made in Tom's memory to the Ferry County Historical Society, 15-2 N. Kean Street, P.O.

Obama talks to Karzai after Taliban attack
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama spoke with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Tuesday after the Taliban launched an attack outside Karzai's presidential palace.
The two leaders spoke by video conference after the early-morning gun battle. The attack could complicate U.S. efforts to get Karzai's government to sit down with the Taliban to talk peace.
The White House says Obama and Karzai discussed the reconciliation process and affirmed that Afghanistan, not the U.S., must lead that process. The leaders also said they still support meetings between Afghanistan's High Peace Council and Taliban representatives at a political office the Taliban recently opened in Qatar.
They also discussed NATO's handover of security operations last week to Afghan forces and the need for fair elections in Afghanistan in 2014.

When it comes to getting at the front of the line for Black Friday discounts, one Tannersville family has it down to a science.
When it comes to getting at the front of the line for Black Friday discounts, one Tannersville family has it down to a science.
Eric Smeltz, 37, arrived at Sears in the Stroud Mall at 10:30 a.m. looking for a 50-inch television as the first in line.
Down the road a bit, his 14-year-old stepson, Jordan Merring, was first in line at Best Buy to nab a 42-inch TV for $200.
Meanwhile, across town, Smeltz's wife, Yvonne, was at Wal-Mart in East Stroudsburg waiting for her chance to grab a bargain.
"We started planning Monday," Smeltz said about the family's discount shopping. "We moved Thanksgiving to Saturday. It's just easier that way."
Smeltz was joined by thousands of others lining up outside Poconos stores all day Thursday, all of them vying for the best prices on the biggest presents for Christmas in anticipation of Black Friday, the busiest — and craziest — shopping day of the year.
When Merring arrived at Best Buy in Stroud Township around 10 a.m., he beat out Andre Alvarez, 23, of East Stroudsburg, by mere seconds. But it wasn't the first time he was there.
He had checked Wednesday night to see if anyone was camping out in front of the store, then early Thursday morning. When no one was there, he went home for breakfast and still made it to the front of the line.
That was bad news for Sasha Ifill, 15, of Mount Pocono. She had actually been at the store at about 9 a.m. Thursday, but went next door to Old Navy because her mom wanted to check out the store's deals, leaving the line open for the taking.
"I came out and saw people there, and I said, 'Mom, you had to go and look at sweaters, huh?'" she laughed. "But we're all getting what we want."
For Alvarez, it was his second year in a row at the front of the Best Buy line. He's getting the same thing he got last year — a TV. Last year he said he bought two of the TVs on sale, then sold one of them to a friend for more than he paid for both of it.
"I'll probably do the same thing this year, so I'm actually getting paid to be here," he joked. "TVs aren't that hard to get rid of around Christmas."
At Target in Stroud Township, Chris Green, 30, of Effort, showed up to be first in line at about 1 a.m. — and waited in shifts with his brother and wife, Jen, for 13 hours until Nadia Aristide, 38, of Canadensis, showed up to claim her spot in second position.
The group randomly stood in line together last year in front of Target as well.
Green made one mistake though. He wore a bright red sweatshirt — the same color Target employees wear.
He said at least 40 people have driven by asking him what time the store opened, thinking he worked there.
"Every time," he said. "I've gotten used to it."
Around 5 p.m., Chris Hemlinger, 21, and Taylor Cividanes, 20, both of Stroudsburg, were the only ones waiting outside Stroud Mall.
But the deal they were waiting for was impressive. Hemlinger was waiting for Game Stop to open to buy one of the four Playstaion 3 sets on sale for $200. He was trading in his old Playstation 2 for $90 of credit and taking advantage of the store's double trade-in value Black Friday offer to buy a new Playstation 3 for $20.
"And I have some games to trade in too, I may end up getting it for free," he said. "This is my first time out for Black Friday, but I love it so far."

ORONDO A man was killed early Tuesday when his van slipped out of "park" and rolled over him in the Baker Flats area on U.S. Highway 97between Orondo and East Wenatchee.
The man has been identified, but his name is being withheld pending notification of kin, Sheriff Harvey Gjesdal said.
The death is being called an "accident" by investigators, the sheriff said.
According to reports, deputies were called to the 13000 area of U.S. Highway 97 at about 10:50 a.m. for a report of a deceased man pinned beneath a van.
First responders found the victim under the front end of a gray 1992 GMC van, Gjesdal said. The man had suffered severe head trauma and was declared dead at 11:08 a.m. at the scene in an orchard surrounded by a large gated fence.
The sheriff said investigators determined the man was killed attempting to close the gate after exiting his work area and vehicle.
Investigators believe the van may not have been fully in "park" when it slipped into reverse and rolled backwards, hitting him, Gjesdal said.
The van pinned the man initially against the gate, but the weight pushed the gate open allowing the van to continue to rolling backwards and onto the victim, the sheriff said.

DeKALB – Encouraging people to read and getting books in the hands of "reluctant readers" – that is the purpose behind the Big Read, according to Edith Craig, community relations director for the DeKalb Public Library.
For the sixth straight year, the library has received a $16,000 matching grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. Grants were awarded to 78 libraries nationwide, and the DeKalb library is one of only four to receive it six years in a row.
"We are very proud of that fact," library director Dee Coover said. "The real problem in America is that people aren't reading."
Coover noted a study that shows less than 50 percent of the population had read a work of fiction. She said the Big Read Program, which began in 2006, "is the largest literacy effort ever started by the federal government."
Through October, the library will promote Mark Twain's 1876 classic, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," with a variety of community activities. Craig said a local steering committee chose the novel from a list of 25 books, which changes annually.
"We try to alternate every year," Craig said. "Last year, we had the 'Maltese Falcon,' an adult book. This year, we wanted to do another family book, like 'Call of the Wild,' which we did two years ago."
This year's choice is about an orphan named Tom Sawyer and the adventures he and his friends have in a fictitious Missouri town along the banks of the Mississippi River. Activities begin with members of the community whitewashing individual picket fences at the library on Sunday, Sept. 30.
A scene in which Tom tricks his friends into performing his whitewashing chore is one of the most famous in the children's novel.
There will also be a picnic with healthy snacks and refreshments in the library's new "picnic grove." A number of games that were popular in the late 1800s will be played, including jacks, hopscotch, graces and ring toss. In case of rain, the activities will be held inside the library.
There will be activities throughout the county almost every day, Craig said. Children's story times and craft activities will have a Big Read theme. The library will also distribute 6,000 free copies of the book. To date, the library has distributed more than 24,000 copies of books through past Big Reads, Coover said.
One of the highlights of the month will be folksinger Jim Post presenting "Mark Twain and the Laughing River" at the Egyptian Theatre on Oct. 4. The free show reflects on the life and sayings of Twain, considered by many critics to be America's first great novelist.
Past Big Read selections have included "Fahrenheit 451," "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe."
Once this year's program is completed, Craig said the steering committee will have until February to pick another book and submit a grant proposal for 2013. Winners are announced in June.
Since this is a matching grant, Craig said the library will accept donations for the program.

CARSON, Calif. – Former Galaxy midfielder Nathan Sturgis scored the only goal of the game as the Houston Dynamo handed the LA Galaxy their second straight loss of the preseason, winning 1-0 at The Home Depot Center. An open and entertaining first half of soccer was scoreless before Sturgis scored with just over 20 minutes remaining to give his team the win.
Bruce Arena started nine of the same 11 that started Tuesday's game against Portland and that unit almost got on the board first in the 17th minute when Marcelo Sarvas collected a pass and turned his defender on the edge of the area before hitting a right-footed shot that Tally Hall was forced to palm away for a corner kick.
WATCH: Full Match Highlights
It was then the Dynamo's turn to go on the offensive, with Josh Saunders having to make a pair of diving saves off freekicks while also having to claim a number of crosses into his area.
The Galaxy had the better of the play over the final 10 minutes of the opening half, with Edson Buddle sending a header just wide of goal off a David Beckham corner kick in the 34th minute. Four minutes later, Beckham went close with a freekick of his own, forcing a save from Hall while Paolo Cardozo shot just over the bar a minute later after a beating a pair of defenders at the top of the box.
Both teams made a number of changes at the half, with the Galaxy replacing all 11 players and the Dynamo changing all 10 of their field players while keeping Tally Hall in the goal. Neither Hall nor Bill Gaudette, who replaced Josh Saunders, were challenged extensively in the opening 20 minutes of the second half, but in the 68th minute, the Dynamo struck and took a 1-0 lead. A Houston corner kick could not be completely cleared by the Galaxy defense, allowing Josue Soto to collect the ball on the right flank 35 yards from goal. He sent an early cross into the center of the box that Sturgis was able to get to first, looping a header over Gaudette to make the score 1-0.
Houston was forced to make a change four minutes later when referee Alejandro Mariscal showed Colin Rolfe a red card for a late tackle on Andrew Boyens. Cam Weaver came on for the rookie to keep the teams playing 11 on 11 and the big forward nearly helped his team double their lead, setting up Macoumba Kandji, who saw his shot saved by Gaudette, who was quick off his line to cut down the angle Kandji had to shoot at.
Three minutes later in the 80th minute, the Galaxy nearly equalized when Rafael Garcia, who was making his first appearance of the preseason, rifled a shot on goal from 25 yards out, only for Hall to tip the ball over the crossbar for a corner kick, keeping the score at 1-0, which was the eventual final scoreline.
The Galaxy will be back in action on Tuesday, February 14 when they host former Galaxy goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts and the Montreal Impact at The Home Depot Center on University Field #1. This game will be open to a limited number of fans who make a donation of five dollars or more to the Galaxy Foundation on the day of the game.

The first step in the application process is to apply for general admission to USC and the School of Music. All students who indicate composition as their intended major are considered for admission to the composition program. Students must submit a statement of purpose and composition portfolio to the director of music admissions.
Please note that all prospective composition majors must also successfully audition on their primary instrument to be admitted to the School of Music. Students who want to be considered for a composition scholarship award must also complete the composition interview process. Students who receive a composition scholarship are required to attend Composition Seminar (Fridays, 2:30-4 p.m., R210) during the spring and fall terms.
Current undergraduate students who want to change their major to composition should first make an appointment to see the director of undergraduate studies, Dr. Clifford Leaman, to let him know of your interest in switching majors, then submit a statement of purpose, transcript and composition portfolio to the coordinator of composition, Dr. John Fitz Rogers.
Statement of Purpose - The statement of purpose should take the form of a short letter (ca. 250 words) addressed to the coordinator of composition, Dr. Rogers, that describes why you wish to major in composition, what you hope to accomplish as a composition major, and what you plan to do with your degree when you graduate.
Composition Portfolio - The composition portfolio consists of 1-3 completed works you have composed or arranged with recordings on CD, if available. Recordings are not required but are helpful. Scores are normally two-sided bound copies with appropriate title/instrumentation/author information on the cover. Submissions usually take the form of short works for solo instrument, or less often, works for chamber ensemble or large ensembles such as band, chorus or jazz ensemble.

Pablo Sandoval was about to play an exhibition game against the Chinese Taipei National Team in Taiwan last November, but he wasn't comfortable. Sandoval needed to get some swings. He needed to find a batting cage. So, as his teammates relaxed in the dugout, Sandoval bolted past them to find a place to hit.
Sandoval's determination to get his pre-game hacks was surprisingly intense. As important as it was for Major League Baseball to send a team to play in Taiwan, Sandoval's at-bats weren't going to be scrutinized. No one was going to criticize or praise Sandoval for what he did against a bunch of 20-year olds. But Sandoval, the San Francisco Giants' third baseman, treated those at-bats seriously.
As I watched Sandoval's magical three-homer performance against the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 of the World Series, I recalled what I had witnessed in Taiwan. If Sandoval treated some meaningless at-bats in Taiwan that intensely, how seriously would he treat his chances on Wednesday night? Sandoval answered that simple question with two homers off Justin Verlander and another off Al Albuquerque to power the Giants to an 8-3 victory.
"Man," Sandoval said, "I still can't believe it."
Detroit's starters allowed only two earned runs in sweeping four games from the Yankees in the American League Championship Series. That stretch of dominance didn't last against the Giants. It didn't last because of Sandoval. He hammered an 0-2 fastball for a homer in the first and then hit Verlander's 2-0 fastball for another homer in the third. Both pitches hummed in at 95 miles per hour. He also belted Albuquerque's slider for a homer in the fifth and singled in his fourth at-bat, completing a hitting clinic of a game.
In Taiwan, I watched Sandoval and Robinson Cano have animated hitting discussions. They would show each other their swings and then mimic each other's swings. If there was a point that needed to be emphasized, they would stop each other in mid-swing and make it. This happened on planes, on buses and at the ballpark.
If you had told me back then that one of them would hit three homers in the first game of the next World Series, I would have guessed that it would have been Cano. If you asked for a percentage, I would have said 75-25 for Cano. Remember, at that juncture, Cano had hit six homers in his last 45 postseason at-bats. But I would have been wrong, way wrong, with that guess.
Sandoval is the fourth player to hit three homers in a World Series game, joining the legendary names of Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols. By having such a memorable game, Sandoval changed the enduring image I had of him. That image was linked to music and bleary eyes, not hitting.
When we left Los Angeles for Taipei on the MLB tour, the media members sat in the back of the plane. It was extremely comfortable since about 10 reporters were scattered in 50 seats for the 14-hour flight. Eventually, word of our spacious digs trickled forward. Sandoval and a few others joined our neighborhood.
Several hours later, the lights were dimmed. It was time for everyone to sleep for a few hours, but not Sandoval. He busted out his music docking station and pumped up the volume. The back of the plane turned into a house party. There was singing and dancing and little sleep. When you lose sleep, it's hard to forget how you lost it.
Now that Sandoval had his magical game, I'll naturally think about those three homers more than I'll think about how he turned into Skrillex on the flight. I'd rather watch his swing than listen to him sing. So would the Giants.

NBA Playoffs Report: Eastern Conference Semifinals Preview
After the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics each won Thursday night to close out their first round NBA playoff series, the next round of the NBA playoffs is set to begin this weekend. Meanwhile, two Western Conference first-round series (Clippers-Grizzlies and Lakers-Nuggets) have yet to be decided. Here's a preview of the NBA's Eastern Conference semifinals:
(2) Miami Heat vs. (3) Indiana Pacers
As evidenced by their near-sweep of the New York Knicks in the first round, the Miami Heat are among the best teams in the NBA. Miami's LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh knocked out the Knicks in five games with a stifling defense that never allowed New York to score more than 94 points in a game. The Heat will need that defense against a younger and very athletic Indiana team, led by Danny Granger and Paul George. The Pacers, who rolled over a depleted Orlando team 4-1 in the first round, will use All-Star center Roy Hibbert and forward David West to chip away defensively at Miami's superstars. Indiana is 16-4 since April 1, but Miami went 3-1 against the Pacers during the regular season. The best-of-seven series starts Sunday at 3:30 p.m. EDT in Miami.
See the full series schedule.
(4) Boston Celtics vs. (8) Philadelphia 76ers
Becoming just the fifth No. 8 seed in NBA history to defeat a No. 1 seed, the Philadelphia 76ers eliminated the injury-plagued Chicago Bulls 4-2 in the first-round of the NBA playoffs. 76ers' point guard Jrue Holiday took full advantage of the absence of injured Chicago point guard Derek Rose in the final five games of the series, as he fueled the Philadelphia attack. Holiday will need to step up his game further against talented Boston point guard Rajon Rondo, who can stretch any defense. 76ers' defenders Andre Iguodala and Spencer Hawes must contain Celtics' scorers Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett and force them to work hard on both ends of the floor. Philadelphia is more athletic and deeper than Boston, and the 76ers won the season series between the teams 2-1. However, the Atlanta Hawks were young and athletic, but Boston defeated them 4-2 in their first-round series. The Celtics also have home court advantage. The best-of-seven series starts Saturday at 8 p.m. EDT in Boston.

Department of Revenue News Release
March 16, 2009New Fee Agents Chosen for Hannibal, Moberly Motor Vehicle License Offices
JEFFERSON CITY – Using a new bidding process, the Missouri Department of Revenue today chose new fee agents to manage two northern Missouri motor vehicle license offices.
The license office in Hannibal has been awarded to Donald R. White of Hannibal. The license office will remain at the 21 Northport Plaza location.
The license office in Moberly has been awarded to Doug Galaske of Moberly. That office will also remain at its present location, 209 North Clark Street.
Details about the operating hours of the offices will be announced by the new fee agents.
Hannibal and Moberly are the first two offices to have their management chosen using a new bidding process that was implemented when Gov. Jay Nixon took office on Jan. 12. The new system calls for people and/or groups to submit detailed bids to obtain the management contracts to operate the offices. The Moberly office received two bids and three people bid on the Hannibal office.
Karen King Mitchell, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, said the process has gone well.
"The teams evaluating these bids were looking for the best business plan for each office," Mitchell said. "I am proud of how thorough and conscientious the teams were. I'm also glad that the Hannibal office will be able to reopen soon since the former agent chose to close the office in late February."
All 183 local license offices provide services that are overseen by the Missouri Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent contractor. Transactions that are conducted at these offices include the issuance and renewal of driver licenses and the issuance and renewal of motor vehicle license plates.
Additional information on the bids will be posted by the Missouri Office of Administration later this week.

At the bottom of the 5822 meter high vulcano " El Misti " lies Arequipa on 2300 meters above sea level.

The stupefying Bookcases 3 photo above, published at Thursday, April 06th 2017 15:18:06 PM, by sevilla, categorized in Decorating category.
Excerpt of Want to Know Some Unique Bookcases? :
For some people, bookcases are just bookcases. They can be put everywhere, and no matter how and what the design is. But for some others, bookcases do matter when they want to have unique design. There are some people who are creative put their unique and wild ideas to unique bookshelves. And below are the proofs!
Some Unique Bookshelves in the World
- Industrial Corner Pipe Shelves
The first unique bookcases are the ones made of pipes. It's one example of great conversation piece which turns heavy iron pipes to modern and urban look which will add some sense of history as well as character to any kinds of space.
- Invisible Book Shelves
This bookcase can hold up to fifteen pound of books. It screws into a wall stud as well as presto directly. And you would have bookshelf which is invisible! The maximum height of stack is 16". All of the hardware is included. So, you don't have to worry since all you need is only screwdriver. It is inspiring, innovative, as well as imaginative.
- Malagane: the Equilibrium Bookcase
Another unique piece of bookcases is this Malagana. It has cantilevered modules that are stacked upon one another in the single angled point. The Equilibrium is very unique piece of furniture which catches immediately your attention by creating the sense of surprise and amusement. These kinds of bookshelves have compartments which seem to float in the air. The Equilibrium could hold more than 120 lbs of weight. And the different modules will allow you to keep the books also magazines stay organized in the natural titled position which eliminates the bookends needs.
- Has been Read and Will be Read
Other unique bookcases are this bookcase. It simply organizes the books into which ones have been read and which ones will be read. It looks so simple, but unique. It differentiates between the book which is going to be read soon and the books which are read already.
- Handmade Stacked Teacup Shelves
This is very unique! A cup of coffee or tea and a good book will go along well. It makes you very easy to fall in love with the bookcase like this. This craves the kind of stacked teacup bookshelf.
- Booktree
The last unique piece of bookcases is booktree. The racks are organized and arranged in tree design and the leaves are from the books. It's like long summer afternoon readings in the park. This bookshelf will help you recapture that moment and feeling.

What's New
Lotto Font by Canada Type
Designed by expert ad artist Herbert Thannhaeuser for East German foundry Typoart in 1955, Lotto was until now one of the long lost gems of European sign and brush lettering faces. Unlike in his Kurier (Thannhaeuser's other brush face, also revived by Canada Type), the brush constructs the letter forms using a series a strokes that are mostly sudden, whimsical, and at times even look like great genius being born out of simple afterthought or straight-forward indiosyncracy Ñ for instance, check out the simple brush pause that is the top of the f, the confident yet welcoming serifs on the T, the similarly-themed C-E and O-Q relationship, and much more.
Available in all popular font formats, Lotto contains a few alternates and ligatures sprinkled throughout the character set, and includes support for a wide variety of Latin-based languages.

Queen guitarist Brian May has always been an animal lover, and now, the 65-year-old musician is getting honored for his protection of the furry creatures. According to NME, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has crowned the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer its U.K. Person of the Year, thanks to his backing of a campaign to halt the British government's forthcoming culling of badgers in rural parts of the U.K.
"In his fight to save Britain's badgers, Brian May never backed down," PETA spokesperson Mimi Bekhechi said in an official statement. "He spread his message of compassion for animals through everything he said, wrote and even wore until the world sat up and paid attention. His tenacity and boldness are an inspiration to kind people everywhere."
May helped launch a campaign to save the badgers by starting Team Badger, an organization that resulted in 160,000 signatures for a petition against the proposed hunt. In October, the campaign proved a success, and the culling was halted because of the swelling debate over the issue.


text: Please use this thread for general ICS 4.0.3 discussions. If you have specific issues or problems after updating, feel free to start a new thread if one does not already exist. I will be updating this post with new links and info when it's available. The OTA has started rolling out. You can wait for it to reach your device on its natural course, or you can update manually via the recovery console. News (4/2/2012): Great news for AT&T Nexus S users! A 4.0.4 update is now available for the I9020A. The update is intended for those on 2.3.6. It is unclear whether or not it will work for older versions. I9020A 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 Link: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespoa/IEzMw3FU.zip News (3/28/2012): An official 4.0.4 update is now available. For now, the only manual update available is the 4.0.3 to 4.0.4. This works for both the I9020T and I9023. We're still waiting on the I9020A. Here is that update file if you want to do it manually: 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 (I9020T and I9023): http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/hR7QFEtn.zip News (3/16/2012): Engadget reports that Nexus S and Nexus S 4G devices will get official updates to ICS within the "next few weeks." See the story here: Confirmed: ICS coming to the Nexus S in the next few weeks -- Engadget News (2/6/2012): Rumor is that a 4.0.5 build is in the works for the Nexus S. Documents suggest it'll be out "by March." Source: Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S to receive OTA Android 4.0.5 update by March | MobileSyrup.com News (1/31/2012): An Android version 4.0.4 build has recently leaked for the Nexus S 4G. This build won't work for those of us on the GSM version, but the fact that it carries a newer version number clearly suggests that Google is continuing to work out the various bugs we've seen in 4.0.3. There's a good chance we may all be seeing a 4.0.4 OTA in the near future. News (12/20/2011): Due to a battery life bug experienced by some users, Google has suspended the Nexus S ICS update. This means the OTA won't be rolling out to anyone else until they solve the problem. You can still update manually if you choose, using the files below, but be aware that the battery issue could affect you. Details regarding the issue can be seen here: Google Said to be Suspending Nexus S ICS Update Due to High CPU Usage and Battery Life Bug I personally am not experiencing significantly poor battery life. After 19 hours on battery with moderate use, I still had 34% left; however, my Awake time is twice my Screen On time, as described as the bug. Links to official update files: I9020T and I9023 (4.0.3 to 4.0.4) - http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/hR7QFEtn.zip I9020T and I9023 (2.3.6 to 4.0.3) - http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/VQ8PQk_V.zip I9020T and I9023 4.0.3 Full ROM (flash from any previous version) - http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/ZD3PyN0t.zip I9020A (2.3.6 to 4.0.4) - http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespoa/IEzMw3FU.zip Work around for I9020A Models (No longer necessary with official I9020A 4.0.4 update) A work around has been discovered that allows you to update your I9020A with the I9020T file linked above. It is definitely not for the faint of heart, and it is not confirmed as entirely stable. Follow these instructions at your own risk. First, your phone must be rooted with Clockwork mod recovery image. Factory reset and flash a stock 2.3.6 ROM for a I9020T (link to 2.3.6 ROM: http://android.clients.google.com/p...a25375426.signed-soju-ota-189904.1ada2537.zip). Reboot (your radio won't be working). Using Fastboot, re-inject Clockwork mod. Flash the I9020T ICS update above. Flash the UCKE1 I9020A radio (link to radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=687157&stc=1&d=1313224429). Reboot, and done.
