It's the start of the new year, we're all recovering from our various new years' eve obligations, and we're sad we all have to go to work again tomorrow (well, except for me - I work from home). To extend the holiday spirit a for just a little longer, we're giving away three copies of TotalFinder for the Mac. The copies are provided by BinaryAge, the company behind TotalFinder and several other Mac OS X tools.
So, what do you have to do to get your hands on a free copy? Simple, really: write a very short story, and post it in the comments. Because this is OSNews, and because I just thought of this contest like 56 seconds ago, it does have a few crazy twists. For your short story to be eligible, it needs to be about at least the following things:
- Unicorns (obviously)
- Glitter
- Fiona Apple
- Mac OS X
- TotalFinder/Finder
A few sentences is enough; this isn't about length, it's about absurdism. Make it as absurd and surreal as possible. Go all-out. It doesn't matter. No limits, no bounds, no rules. You can troll, you can butter up, you can beat OSNews and its team senseless with words.
Unlike contests at a lot of other websites, this one is not limited to the US - wherever you live, you're eligible. To set some sort of a cut-off point, your comment has to be posted within 24 hours from this contest going live (see date/time atop the teaser). Winners will be announced and re-posted on OSNews' front page, and I'll email the license and download location to your address (so be sure there's a valid email address in your profile!).
Happy absurd writing!

Moot Court Board
Mississippi College School of Law Moot Court Board Membership requires strong legal research and writing abilities and superior oral advocacy skills. Each fall, in addition to conducting an intra-school appellate competition among the second-year law students, the Board competes in state and national trial and appellate advocacy programs. Historically, the MC Law Moot Court Board has placed high among national competitors, gaining and reinforcing its reputation of excellence in the academic and professional communities. Moreover, the Board annually hosts multiple lectures given by judges and practitioners with experience before the United States Supreme Court as part of its Supreme Court Practice Series.
Mississippi College School of Law's Moot Court Board is nationally recognized team composed of students who seek to improve both their writing and oral advocacy skills.
Board members are selected each fall through a try-out competition. Second year students are invited to participate in the competition after submitting a brief for the mandatory appellate advocacy class. Through the Copeland, Cook, Taylor, and Bush internal competition, each student presents an oral argument on the issues addressed in the brief to a panel of local judges, attorneys, and faculty members. New Board members are selected based on the combination of their brief score and oral argument score.
Once on the Board, members compete in competitions that take place throughout the year and throughout the United States. Our Board competes in national Moot Court, Trial, and ADR competitions.
About the Director
Vicki Lowery is the faculty advisor for the Moot Court Board and coaches MC Law's external competition teams. "Coaching the competition teams reminds me what I loved the most about practicing law," Lowery says. "The cases and clients may be hypothetical, but the challenges and rewards are very real."
She is a 1998 cum laude graduate of MC Law, and previously a litigator with Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz. In her spare time, Lowery enjoys reading, although she's usually immersed not in the latest murder mystery, but in an appellate brief.
"This is more than a job; it's something that I'm emotionally invested in," Lowery says. "Sometimes at a competition, the students will tell me they're nervous, and my answer is always, 'I'm nervous too.' I'm like the football coach on the sidelines at the big game. Going up against larger law schools with deeper staff and bigger endowments can be intimidating, but I'm proud to say that no matter who the competitor is, our MC Law team is always a serious contender."
The Moot Court Board of Mississippi College School of Law strives to increase the reputation and prestige of our law school overall, with the twin goals of honing the professional advocacy skills of our members and ensuring increased academic rigor through our focus on superior legal writing skills. The Board also strives to enhance the academic credentials and professionalism of our students and the legal community by fostering interest in the vital advocacy skills required of successful appellate and trial attorneys.

(As a complete aside, I rather wish there were Normal servers, but with the Roleplaying restrictions on names, chat, etc. A 'Polite' server ruleset, as it were. I have no interest in roleplaying, but I rather like being on a server with people who can write in full sentences, and no Arthasloldk in sight. But the roleplayers must get pretty annoyed that "their" server is overrun with people who don't roleplay at all.)
In any case, I rolled a female human Lancer, which is a lance-and-shield tank. Yeah, the first rule of TERA is not to question the logic behind anything, but just go with the flow. The lance telescopes somehow, automatically extending to full length when you enter combat. As expected, this leads to interesting commentary in general chat.
For some reason, TERA to me is symbolized by the following story. The female Lancer is very scantily-clad, which includes a miniskirt as part of her (theoretically heavy) metal armor. But as my female readers can probably attest, a miniskirt does not really go well with riding a horse. So what does any logical knight-errant do? That's right, she rides sidesaddle:
|Coriel the Lancer, with mount. Note the telescoping lance on her back.
I'll talk more about tanking in a later post, because it's quite interesting, and quite possibly the perfect blend of tanking mechanics, of what Ghostcrawler calls "active mitigation".
Honestly, if you can get past the skimpy clothing, and the race that looks like little girls (who now wear shorts instead of tiny dresses), TERA is quite a fun and engrossing game, with some really intriguing mechanics and subsystems.

Anyone? I mark helpful and correct answers.

Never used catalyst before but I hear it's a designer tool that can handle a little code. If you want a projector to go fullscreen here would be the code to add to a buttton with the instance name of myButton to do it. I'm not sure if it's the same for you:
import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fullScreen);
function fullScreen(event:MouseEvent):void
3. Re: How to make a fullscreen button for Flash Catalyst?Cuwen Apr 12, 2012 12:25 PM (in response to sinious)
Do you know if there's a way I can do this just using Flash Catalyst? I don't have Flash Builder, so I can't use it to add in the script. I'm Googling right now trying to find an answer but haven't found one, yet.
4. Re: How to make a fullscreen button for Flash Catalyst?sinious Apr 16, 2012 8:33 AM (in response to Cuwen)
I'm sorry I really don't know Flash Catalyst as much as I'd like to. Designing interfaces is left up to me, no designers at my agency use Catalyst. Though this is the Flash forum so that's as much as I can tell you. I didn't know Catalyst didn't support basic scripts (I thought I read that it did).
Ultimately, for a very cheap price you can do something like go to http://www.lynda.com/ and buy a membership. Dirt cheap compared to what you get. They offer many courses on all this stuff and I'm sure your answer would lie in one of the (nicely broken up by subject) video training videos.
Just searching for Catalyst brings up a bunch of courses:
For instance I watched the essential CS5.5 training and I saw in 2 minutes flat that when you click on a button you should have an "Interactions" panel that lets you do things. If they didn't put fullscreen as an interaction that's another thing but I'm just pointing out it's very easy to learn how to do all sorts of things in video training. If you do not want to purchase a membership there just find a video you think would have the info in it and I'll watch it and let you know if it told me how to do it, and how to do it.
5. Re: How to make a fullscreen button for Flash Catalyst?Cuwen Apr 18, 2012 5:44 AM (in response to sinious)
Sinious, that is very kind to offer to do that. Thank you. My boss is supposed to be getting a Lynda subscription b/c I've told him how great the site is months ago and he got the ok from his bosses. He hasn't gotten around to doing it, yet, though.
And I was working with the interactions a few weeks ago, but no fullscreen button, which is kinda weird. I'll let you know if I ever find a solution in FC. Thank you so, SO much for your help!! You've been great!
6. Re: How to make a fullscreen button for Flash Catalyst?sinious Apr 18, 2012 6:18 AM (in response to Cuwen)
The subscription is worth it as a personal investment. It's like $29 a month, which is a couple packs of cigarettes or a few lattes. For what you get out of it is insanely worth it. You should consider buying it yourself! There's lots of courses on there in many different catagories from web to photography to business management to you name it. As they say, invest your time, don't spend your time.
Hope it helps!

Men's soccer heads back to NCAA Division III tournament
Judges host for second straight year, will face Johnson & Wales in opening round
For the second year in a row, the Brandeis men's soccer team has qualified for the NCAA Division III tournament. The Judges, who posted a 14-4-1 record in the regular season and earned an at-large berth to the tournament, will once again host the first two rounds.
Brandeis will take on Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) champions Johnson & Wales University (14-1-6) on Nov. 16 at 5 p.m. The other first-round game at Gordon Field will pit 17-5-1 Rutgers-Newark against 15-5-2 Roger Williams University at 7:30 p.m. The winners will meet in the second round on Sunday, Nov. 17, at 5 p.m.
Under head coach Michael Coven, who is in his 41st year, Brandeis is making its 11th all-time appearance in the NCAAs. The Judges won the NCAA championship in 1976 and were runners-up in 1984. Last season, the Judges reached the Sweet 16. In 2013, Brandeis finished in fifth place in the University Athletic Association (UAA), and was ranked second in the New England region in the most recently published NCAA rankings. Although the Judges peaked at No. 12 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Division III poll and at No. 7 in the d3soccer.com poll, they enter the tournament ranked No. 22 in both.
Brandeis tied for the UAA lead in scoring with 49 goals and was third in team defense with a 0.98 goals-against average. Individually, the Judges boasted the league's top goal-scorer in junior forward Tyler Savonen of Orleans, Mass., who had 10 tallies, and the top assist man in senior back Ben Applefield of Avon, Conn., who had nine helpers. Savonen was tied for second in overall scoring with 23 points. Junior goalkeeper Joe Graffy of Concord, N.H., was third in the league in goals-against average (0.99) and fourth in save percentage (.758).
Johnson & Wales is making its fifth NCAA tournament appearance as GNAC champions, its first since 2007, coached by David Kulik, who is in his second year at JWU after 12 seasons at Clark University. Johnson & Wales earned its berth with a 5-3 penalty-kick win over Lasell College in the GNAC championship match after a 3-3 draw in regulation. Junior goalkeeper Ryan Dzierzawski was the tournament MVP after making 22 saves in three matches. The Wildcats were second in GNAC in scoring with 42 goals and in team defense with a 0.63 GAA. Junior O'Kyle Corridon led the team with eight goals and seven assists for 23 points, and sophomore Kyle Metz was just behind with five goals and 12 assists for 22 points. Dzierzawski is seventh in Division III with a .893 save percentage; the Wildcats are second overall at .886.
This will be the first-ever meeting between Brandeis and Johnson & Wales. The squads had two common opponents this season. Brandeis defeated Lasell, 5-1, on Sept. 18, while JWU defeated the Lasers, 2-1, on Oct. 12 before its draw in the GNAC tournament. Against Mount Ida College, the Judges produced a 1-0 win on Oct. 28; Johnson and Wales suffered a 2-0 loss to the Mustangs two weeks earlier.
Against other teams in the tournament, JWU earned a 1-0 win at Elms on Sept. 18. Brandeis posted a 2-2 record against NCAA tournament squads, with nonconference wins over MIT (2-1 in overtime) and Wheaton (2-1), and UAA losses to Carnegie Mellon (2-1 in overtime) and Rochester (3-2).
Live stats for the matches can be found at http://livestats.prestosports.com/brandeisjudges. An audio broadcast can be heard courtesy WBRS Sports, 100.1 FM, and online. Ticket information will be available later this week.

SMIDSY drivers beware the Helmet of Justice is watching and it's got 360° vision
Here at road.cc we're scratching our heads as to whether we think this would work.
It's a helmet containing seven cameras, that only activates at the moment of impact, giving a complete 360 degree view of the situation for the purposes of gathering as much evidence as possible.
It's fittingly named the 'Helmet of Justice', made by the US skate company Chaotic Moon.
Photos can be seen here, courtesy of Digital Trends.
It's clearly a great idea if you're hit by a hit-and-run driver, which seems increasingly common these days, but even if the camera manages to catch a numberplate speeding off into the distance, it's not clear whether that would be enough evidence to prove it was the car that hit you.
We can't help thinking it might be more useful if it was filming all the time, rather than just after the impact.
It's still only a prototype, which Chaotic Moon say cost around 300 dollars to create, and they're looking into adding features like GPS tracking - which could send emergency services directly to your location following a collision.
What is clear is that more and more cyclists are using bike or helmet mounted cameras to protect themselves and help identify dangerous drivers.
In Janauary we reported on another, camera the Cerevellum Hindsight 30 - brainchild of US designer Evan Solida - a rear pointing camera with an integral LED light with a bar mounted monitor that records footage on a continuous 10 second loop to capture video footage of incidents in which cyclists are hit from behind - by far the most dangerous form of collision if you're riding a bike. From closer to home we've got a RoadHawk Bullet Cam - which like the Hindsight 30 records on a continuous loop and comes with a variety of mounts allowing you to point it either forwards or back.
Whether the the Helmet of Justice is the first step in taking such technology to the next level or not, cameras and camera technology are going to become an increasinly commen piece of equipment or all road users..
I wouldn't think it is too hard to constantly record and only dropping off early content as storage is maxed out. Or maintaining the vision of the last, say, minute. Then on impact retaining that minute and anythign further. Compared to the the rest of the project that would be the easy bit.
As an aside I suppose that Google could start adding cycle paths to google street maps from users submitted rides.

Security has been strengthened in this upcoming release, introducing features that forestall possible vulnerabilities. The Debian installer, for example, applies security updates before booting, several critical security packages have been built with GCC to toughen them up, and the overall system contains less open ports and less setuid root binaries.
Lenny will sport KDE 3.5.9 over the still not so popular KDE 4.2, and will have "OpenOffice.org 2.4.1, GIMP 2.4.7, Inkscape 0.46, Emacs 22 and both Iceweasel and Icedove" in the arsenal of default programs.
For those interested in the server end of things, the new release will contain "PostgreSQL 8.3.5, MySQL 5.1.30 and 5.0.51a, GNU Compiler Collection 4.3.2, Samba 3.2.5, Python 2.5.2 and 2.4.6, Perl 5.10.0, PHP 5.2.6, Asterisk 188.8.131.52, Nagios 3.06 and the Xen Hypervisor 3.2.1."
The system has gotten more mobile-friendly with better support for notebooks in the form of a CPU frequency scaling feature that allows a user to alter the processing power based on what applications are running, among other things.
According to a German report, lenny will be welcomed with open arms by the community, but you'll just have to hold your horses until this Saturday, February 14th (hopefully), to show your love for Debian.

Ideas for Small Backyard in Baltimore?
Q: I recently renewed my lease in a Baltimore city row house, so I really want to work on making the backyard cozy, since I will be here for a while.
I have a dog, and he currently uses the small dirt/woodchip area out back for doing his business when I don't walk him. I need some ideas for what to do with that area, because the woodchips and dirt aren't currently working (it never dries and smells bad even though I am quick to clean up after him). Is there a good ground cover or type of rock that would work? Also, I want to start a small garden and am wondering how to go about that. Should I get a move-able garden bed to put against the wall on the right? Or a bunch of pots?:
Baltimore is apparently a zone 7a, but a green thumb I am not, so I would love to hear what plants/garden items would work, and how to make it happen logistically. I eventually want to get a table/chair set for the deck and some hanging pots. This is my first time having outdoor living space, so I am pretty excited to hear some ideas for how to make it cozy and enjoyable.

my father turns 70 that week.
If you'd prefer, you can take the train from PHL into Philadelphia and get a few blocks from Nodding Head, et al.http://g.co/maps/nddrn
Quote from: tschmidlin on April 13, 2012, 04:51:46 PMmy father turns 70 that week.Happy Birthday to him! It's freaky to think that your father is only 10 years older than I am!
Beware, security can be a b!tch at PHL from time to time. Depending on the time you might wish to jump to E (commuter) or A (International) terminal to clear security. From E there is a bus that drops you off at B terminal.
Philly is a good place to have a beer layover. You can spend a lot longer than 3 hours. We used to go to the Michael Jackson tasting there and then hang out afterwards. Unfortunately I was never in any shape to remember the name of the places other than Noddingheads, which was always good solid beers and Monks which was always packed, but still good. My beer loving coworkers have suggested these to me when I was planning on going there:Hawthornes http://hawthornecafe.com/ South Philly Taproomhttp://www.southphiladelphiataproom.com/ Devil's Denhttp://www.devilsdenphilly.com/Good doghttp://www.gooddogbar.comMemphis TaproomMcNally's Tavern McGillinsEulogy, Triumph, Beneluxx Tasting Room, Race St Cafe - all Old CityGood Luck!
Man! I'll be there Friday the 20th until Monday morning. Couldn't you rearrange your father's birthday and come a week earlier?We will be renting a car and stopping for lunch at Triumph downtown and then going to a couple museums before heading out to Bryn Athyn.I've recently heard good things about South Philly Tap Room, which may be closer to the airport.

The problem of central banks trying to shape policy is an especially big deal in an environment where wealthy interests have a big role in choosing central bankers. Then you get the awesome power of central bankers deployed on behalf of wealthy interests against ordinary working people.
First: I see no real reason to think that as a rule unaccountable central bank bureaucracies are going to make better long-term economic policy choices than a democratic process. The very same people who seem enthusiastic about this model of policymaking would likely be the first to explain to you that it's unwise to have a centrally planned economy run by unelected bureaucrats.
Second: that there actually is good reason to think that giving elected officials direct control over short-term macroeconomic stabilization is a bad idea, namely that they'll try to time the business cycle to the election cycle, which is exactly how central bank independence came to be enshrined as a principle of good governance. But in the medium term once it becomes clear that central banks are using their "independence" to encroach on other areas of policymaking, the central banks are (rightly) going to wind up having their independence taken away.
I'm wondering why we don't eliminate the role of human central bankers in setting interest rates and replace them with a computer program that just follows the Taylor rule or whatever formula the consensus of academic economists suggests. If we've got a reasonably good formula for determining what values interest rates should take, a computer would be better at following it than a human, since a human might be tempted to diverge for the purpose of threatening elected policymakers into making policies they prefer in other places or supporting a favored political leader, as Alan Greenspan seems to have done for Bush in 2004. And if we don't have a good formula, it's unclear how central bankers are supposed to decide what they should do anyway, and it's time to not have central banks. I don't think we're in this unfortunate situation -- we know enough about inflation/unemployment tradeoffs and other economic relationships to have good quantitative rules that humans can follow, and that robots can follow better.
In any event, I don't see why setting interest rates would be like writing novels or throwing parties or recognizing faces, where the best humans are going to do better than impartial robots following formulas programmed in by smart professors. If well-programmed computers can beat us at math and now chess and Jeopardy, why not at monetary policy?

one of the BEST sci-fi films of the year!!
Visually cyberpunk, stark and dark, with a strong, minimal soundtrack.
FX & scenery are outstanding, as expected. The plot, dialogue & character development are well-crafted and propel the previous film's story-arch to unpredictable territory. WOW!
Fantastically seamless transition from the previous film's world to this film's future-world. Ties up loose ends from the original, while creating a new story of it's own. EPIC!
Awesome, classi
Very refresh to able to see this kind of movie, Soundtrack was amazing. I can't wait to see a sequel.
Edgy, moody, violent, modern sci-fi masterpiece. Long movie, with a slow "film noir" pace. If you are looking for an easy-breezy popcorn flick, this is not it. True BladeRunner fans (and Philip K. Dick fans) will not be disappointed. And incredible entry to the hardcore sci-fi pantheon, that will age well. Instant classic. Science fiction perfection.
I actually fell asleep during this movie. There is little music, just thundering bass which causes the seats to vibrate, and combined with what little was happening on the screen, sleep came easy. Gosling's performance was right up there with watching paint dry. Even pretending to be a robotic replicant, he was too stiff.
This was supposed to be a blockbuster, so I wondered why Harrison and Gosling were hitting the media circuit so hard? This was supposed to be a blockbuster so I wondered why some cinemas were not playing it at the later shows? This was a continuation of a well respected movie, had big name stars, and had a very good budget and good director.
It's a dud. Pure and simple. Boring. Seemed longer than it was, and the music, scenes, and cameras left you wondering what's playing the next cinema. Don't waste your time. Watch it on NetFlix, or download it, but save your movie. I wish I had.
You either love it or you hate it, it seems. I loved it.

Computer Program Detail Page
written by Wolfgang Christian and Jose José Goncalves
The Atwood Machine in a Fluid model shows two masses connected by strings and pulleys immersed in a water tank. Each mass is acted on by gravitational, buoyant, and drag forces. Users can change density of the left and right mass using input fields and can drag either mass to change the initial conditions. Note that the floor of the tank produces a normal force that limits the motion.
If the water is removed the tank, the model behaves like a traditional Atwood machine. Adding water changes the dynamics in many ways. Because the buoyant force varies as the mass is submerged, the system oscillates anharmonically about an equilibrium point that depends on the mass densities.
The Atwood Machine in Fluid model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the ejs_mech_fluid_AtwoodMachineInFluid.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.
Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java.

In this installment of Gibson Tone Tips, I want to expend a few words on the concept of "home tone" vs. "gig tone." This is something that experienced performing musicians know intuitively, but which often slaps newcomers to the live venue right in the face when they come up against it for the first time. To preface: there's so much talk of "tone" these days, and so many guitarists are chasing it for all their worth, but more often than not this pursuit is undertaken in the isolation of a player's living room, bedroom, home studio, or some other "home alone" environment. There's nothing at all wrong with that, and these places are where we practice, learn, discover, and sometimes record the results. But honing our ultimate tone in these subjective environments can often lead to disappointment when we get out into the entirely subjective real world. Let's find out why.
Among the net blogging tone hounds, there seems to be a lot of emphasis on guitar and amp sounds that are "smooth, warm, round, organic…" This might run to everything from the general preference for neck-pickup tones to a love of the round, thick, early breakup of heavily worn-in vintage speakers. Certainly any of these can bathe the ear in their juicy goodness when enjoyed sans distraction, and sound a lot more pleasant than anything that hints at a "harsh" or "cutting" sound. What the ear perceives from a solo electric guitar, however, and from a guitar blended into the mix of a full band are two entirely different things. In the latter, that smooth, warm, round tone too often can become… well, nothing at all.
The fundamental notes—meaning the pure, fretted notes, without any consideration of overtones (harmonics)—of guitars with 22 frets cover the frequency range from the low E at 82 Hz to a high D at 1,174 Hz. It so happens that the human voice has a range from approximately 85 Hz to 1,100 Hz. The human ear can detect frequencies from around 20 Hz (a further octave below the low E on a bass guitar) to around 20,000 Hz (or 20 kHz), but the average human's hearing is biased toward detecting sounds in the midrange frequencies, which is to say it hears them more easily (they are perceived as louder), while upper-mid and high-frequency sounds will also jump out as being more noticeable within any blend, if not louder in the pure sense. Those midrange frequencies, it turns out, encompass the human voice as well as the guitar. As it happens, they also define a lot of what a drum kit produces (drum frequencies trample all over the spectrum), anything your bassist will create above his first octave or so, and anything a keyboard or horn section will produce. In other words, without some clever tone-shaping to distinguish the note production of each instrument, you can be left with sonic mush.
Meanwhile, thanks to the range of overtones (harmonics) that any plucked guitar string also produces, the guitar's frequency range is actually extended far above the frequency of its highest fundamental note, and it takes up a lot more space in the sonic stew than just this chunk of around 1,000 Hz toward the center of the midrange. Put the guitar through an amplifier, especially a semi-distorted one (and most of them are, right!?), and these harmonics are accentuated further.
Revisit that "warm, smooth, round" tone that is so easy on the ear at home, and you'll find that it achieves this quality by minimizing the aural spikes that strong harmonic overtones represent. Get it up on stage, though, amidst a drummer, bassist, vocalist, a second guitarist and maybe some keyboards, and this spike-free tone is often about as effective as a rubber crutch. Stand back from the stage, and—in a large, loud band, at least—such a tone will often be all but lost when everyone is playing, contributing more to the general sense of low-end presence and midrange body of the band's sound, rather than ringing as a distinct part on its own. Of course, sometimes that's exactly what you want, from a power-chord rhythm guitar part or the chunk-metal second guitar that's backing another guitarists riffs and lead work. Also, if you're playing in a small blues combo, with a more minimalist drummer and no extremes of volume, your smooth, rich tone might be delightful just as it is. In so many other scenarios, though, you're likely to be hoping that your own playing will be heard for itself, and that your rhythm and lead parts alike will shine and get some attention out there in the crowd.
Often, a newbee to the live scene will just keep increasing their overall volume in an effort to get heard, which usually inspires the rest of the band to crank up, too, ultimately accentuating the mush. To get that tone heard properly, you'll want to dial in some upper-midrange cut, some attention-getting shimmer in the highs (though without creating an ice-pick-in-the-ear for anyone in the first few rows), and a firmer low end. This might involve simply tweaking your amp's tone and gain controls, or selecting a different pickup, but it might also require a total rethink of your rig between the current gig and the next. More drastic changes that can help might include switching to a firmer, punchier speaker, exploring a brighter guitar (or amp) with more harmonic sparkle… or you might simply need to put on some fresh strings. There isn't room here to cover all the possible adjustments, and I'm mainly getting you to face up to the theory, but you'll know the condition when you hear it.
It's important to realize, too, that your tonal requirements will vary from night to night, room to room, and to remain flexible in all gigging situations. All of which is not intended to say that you should entirely scrap that warm, luscious, ear-candy tone that gives you goosebumps in the bedroom, just that you should prime yourself against being too precious about it out in the real world. When you get "your tone" set up and ready to go in sound check, then find it is lost in the ether once the band kicks in, don't be too proud—or too stubborn—to change it. Dial some punch into the midrange, some cutting power into the higher frequencies, and some tightness into the low end, and get your tone out there to the ears that matter most to the live performance: someone else's.

Colorado Judge Puts All Righthaven Cases On Hold
from the oops dept
I would imagine this comes after learning about the sham copyright assignments that were revealed in Nevada with Stephens Media. The lawsuits in Colorado aren't over Stephens Media content, but Media News content, and it's not clear if Media News also had a similar bogus copyright assignment trick going on, but it appears Judge Kane would like to find out. Righthaven has filed 57 cases in Colorado, with 22 of them being dismissed by Righthaven, meaning likely settlements in most of those (I believe at least one was dismissed because of the judge being skeptical). So, 35 cases are now on hold, but I imagine that the 20 or so people or companies who have settled may suddenly be regretting that rash decision.

Mary Catherine (Molly) O'Rourke Peters
Mary Catherine (Molly) O'Rourke Peters, 89, beloved mother and grandmother peacefully passed away in her sleep surrounded by her family at the home of her daughter in Pocatello, Idaho on March 16, 2014.
Molly was born June 10, 1924 to John T. O'Rourke and Mary C. Hanratty O'Rourke in Pocatello, Idaho. She grew up in Pocatello, attended St. Joseph's Catholic School and graduated from Pocatello High in 1942. Molly worked for several years at Scowcroft & Sons, a product shipping company in Pocatello.
Marriage to a young farmer from Blackfoot soon followed, Clem F. Peters married the love of his life, Molly, on March 4, 1946. For the next 40 years they shared joys, sorrows and many hours farming, attending church gatherings, and raising their five children, John, (deceased), JoAnn, Jim, Jane and Judy. Sadly the union of Clem and Molly ended with the death of Clem on Jan. 19, 1987.
Molly, an active member of St. Bernard's Parish in Blackfoot, volunteered her talents baking pies, cakes and doughnuts during fair week. She also enjoyed helping with the local 4-H organizations. Molly's other hobby was taking pictures; she was rarely seen without her camera, capturring those memories that we all enjoyed.
When the children were old enough, Molly started working outside the home, in a temporary position on the trim line at American Potato. That temp position developed into a full time job lasting for 30 years, retiring in the position as senior operator in the packaging department.
Upon retiring, she helped her daughter JoAnn Blang as office receptionist for "No Job Too Small", and "Rocky Mountain Communication Internet" (RMCI). Molly also worked for Dawn Enterprises as a quality control inspector, 2000-2008, when she moved to Pocatello to live with her daughter Judy.
Molly enjoyed traveling whenever the opportunity arose, from Island Park visiting her daughter JoAnn, to taking an extended trip to Hawaii to help Jane with the newest granddaughter. Molly also enjoyed helping transport dogs, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Southeastern Idaho with her youngest daughter, Judy. Molly always had pets including a small dog named Harley, who was her comfort companion.
Molly was preceded in death by husband, Clem; son, John; her parents; and half brother, Peter "A" McDermott.
She is survived by her children, JoAnn & Larry Blang, Island Park; James & Chris Peters, Jackpot, Nev.; Jane & Mike Cordes, Leavenworth, Kan.; Judy Peters,Pocatello; her nephew, Peter "D" McDermott; her grandchildren, Teresa (Todd) Oakes, Mike Blang, Kris Anderson, Bobbie Jo Bullock, Annaelyse, Laura & William Cordes; many step-grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
Vigil Rosary, Friday, March 21, 6 p.m., Hawker Funeral Home, 132 S. Shilling Ave, Blackfoot. A funeral Mass will be Saturday March 22, at 10 a..m. at St. Bernard's Catholic Church, 570 W. Sexton St., Blackfoot, Idaho.
In lieu of flowers please donate to St. Bernard's Altar Society or The Friends of Pocatello Animal Shelter, PO Box 281, Pocatello, ID 83204.
We would like to thank Dr. LaVonne Mills and her staff at Heritage Hospices. Their caring ways and support during this difficult time is fondly appreciated.

Major League Soccer will expand to 24 teams by the end of the decade, league commissioner Don Garber announced Wednesday.
The expansion means that MLS could return to South Florida in the coming years.
Last month, David Beckham, who has the right to buy an MLS expansion franchise for a highly-discounted $25 million, toured Miami stadiums. He is expected to partner with billionaire Marcelo Claure, who had a failed bid to bring a MLS team to Miami with FC Barcelona in 2009, to create an expansion franchise in Miami.
"It will be in a few months maybe but it's important to get it right," Beckham told reporters on July 16. "This is a big decision where I'll have my franchise and how I'm going to do it. It's something I'm excited about."
Orlando, which has supported its USL (third-tier) Orlando FC franchise, is expected to be another expansion team.
San Antonio, Sacramento, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Detroit, Phoenix and St. Louis are other possible expansion markets.

Institute for Justice wins San Tan Flat outdoor dance ban case
Posted by Jim Lippard at 5/01/2008 02:02:00 PM
Labels: civil liberties, Institute for Justice, law
I have to ask: how on earth did this silly case get started? Did the neighbours complain about noise? Some petty control freak at City Hall decided to check every old law on the books? Someone had a grudge on the owner?
There were noise complaints from the neighbors, which Pinal County tried to address by appeal to a 1962 ordinance banning dance halls which makes no reference to noise.
The judge's ruling said the neighbors "have every right to be disappointed" that the county approved the restaurant in the first place.
Bell's lawsuit against the county was for $1 and overturning the County Board of Supervisors' attempt to use the ordinance against him, for which they were threatening to fine him $700/day for noncompliance.
So there's still a dispute about noise that may require some resolution, but now they can't just shut him down by claiming he's running a dance hall, when he's not.
I was in court on May 7th when Judge O'Neil made his ruling concerning the San Tan Flat violation of Pinal County Zoning Ordinances. Even though Judge O'Neil ruled in favor of Dale Bell, Judge O'Neil spent a significant amount of time speaking directly to Dale Bell about how the Judge understood the plight of the neighbors near Mr. Bell's establishment, and how Judge O'Neil would be appalled if the County ever allowed an establishment such as Mr. Bell operates, anywhere near the Judge's home in rural Pinal County. Judge O'Neil talked of individual property rights, and the exercise of those property rights as a 'balancing act', rubbing together his colliding fists to help demonstrate his point.
It is this 'balancing act' of individual property rights that I would like to address in response to the various articles and editorials that have been published concerning this conflict over the past 2 years. The primary point I would like to discuss is the very important issue that Judge O'Neil pointed out in court, and that is the balancing act of property rights between property owners.
On one side we find Mr. Bell, operating an establishment that he claims he built following all of the required guidelines and procedures, claiming he has honored all of his commitments, making claims of how good his business is for the 'community', all with what he claims are within his rights as a property owner, and that the County is trying to 'ban dancing' in Pinal county.
On another side we find the surrounding property owners, who claim that every Friday and Saturday nights, holiday's nights, and many other nights in between, that Mr. Bell takes over our properties for his own use, blasting unbearable loud noise across our properties and into our homes, shines glaring commercial signage across our properties into the windows of our homes, casts a blanket of smoke across our properties from the marshmallow roasting fires fouling the air our families and livestock breath, and then nightly discharges inebriated patrons onto our neighborhood streets, patrons whom routinely choose our neighborhood streets to avoid encounters with law enforcement with no consideration for the families they put at risk.
Unlike TV, radio, or the printed media where when you are offended, or tire of it, or find the timing inconvenient, then you can simply switch it off, set it aside, or not buy it in the first place; but here in our neighborhood, only Mr. Bell gets to choose what music and speech we will hear, blasting into our yards, our homes, our lives, night after night, like it or not, want it or not, only Dale Bell gets to choose when and what will be heard for all of the surrounding property owners.
Now the predominance of the reporting and editorial about this conflict has focused around some injustice being perpetrated against Mr. Bell, which he has spun in the media as an attack on everyone's right to dance. The candid truth is, we could care less about people dancing in Mr. Bell's establishment. I don't know a one among us who doesn't like to dance. Mr. Bell, spun through his current proxies - the various media, would have us surrender our land, our homes, our dreams, our hopes, to the likes of the blatant recurring trespass from Mr. Bell, that we, Mr. Bell's neighbors, somehow hold some odd notions of responsible property ownership and appropriate civil behavior, that we have been duped into some kind of flawed thinking about our plight in the face of a bully, that the idea that we might cry foul is somehow wrong, and that it is somehow inappropriate to plead with our elected government to right the wrong, and restore the peace to our neighborhood.
If you remember, we all watched on television as a group of PSYOP soldiers played deafening rock music, 24 hours a day, over loudspeakers that ringed the Vatican Embassy compound where General Noriega had taken refuge. The siege continued until General Manuel Noriega couldn't take the 'constant bombardment of the music' anymore and surrendered. In Iraq, in Fallujah's darkened, empty streets, U.S. troops blast AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" and other rock music full volume from a huge speaker, hoping to grate on the nerves of this Sunni Muslim city's gunmen and give a laugh to Marines along the front line. That is Psychological Warfare Operations.
Granted San Tan Ranches is not a war zone (although some of your readers would like to make it one), and Mr. Bell is not by any stretch of the imagination, a hoard of terrorists bent on killing us all. However, much of the editorial opinion and reporting so far would have us all believe that when our nation's founding fathers were crafting the Declaration of Independence, that when Thomas Jefferson carefully scribed the concept "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.", that we all must have missed the footnote lay hidden until Mr. Bell came along, that holds an exception - that Mr. Bell somehow enjoys greater privilege over everyone else. Putting the pun aside, it was this very concept of privilege that our founding fathers found to be so objectionable, so much so, that they were willing to risk everything to protect against it. With the 9th amendment of the US Constitution, the premise of Mr. Bell's extraordinary privilege that some of the editorials would try to convince us all of, is clearly dashed by "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Mr. Bell's rights clearly end where exercising his rights deny the rights of his neighbors, and that is exactly what Mr. Bell has been doing, continues to do, and is doing so with the support of the media, and particularly unfortunate for our Republic, 'the press' - the very place our founding fathers created extraordinary constitutional protections in order to make sure the exchange of ideas would be forever assured.
The elected and appointed government officials in Pinal County, and the State of Arizona, as agents 'of the people, by the people, for the people' have an absolute obligation to protect the rights of 'all of its citizens', setting aside prejudice, special interests, and all other distractions that might interfere with protection of freedom and the fair application of justice, not just for Mr. Bell, but for all of its citizens. Mr. Bell has rights, and so far, the scale for the rights proposition has leaned heavily in Mr. Bell's favor, entirely at the expense of the rights of his neighbors. Mr. Bell is not entitled to the unencumbered use of our neighborhood properties, to use as he currently chooses to, constructively seizing them from us for his own enjoyment and enrichment, and the County through its actions or inaction, cannot surrender our properties to Mr. Bell or allow to continue, Mr. Bell's nightly trespass. That would effectively constitute an unlawful application of eminent domain, the taking of our properties, and handing them over to Mr. Bell, having denied our neighborhood property owners their due legal recourse, compensation and treatment under the law. The County is obliged to restore the "balance" Judge O'Neil referred to in court.
As for the editorial staffs of the press, I say to you: It's time for you and your readers to face up to your own prejudices and misconceptions instead of relying on the propaganda fed to you by Mr. Bell, and recognize the real injustice that is occurring, the real tragedy in our community, the damage Mr. Bell has inflicted on the trust in the press that our founding fathers recognized as so crucial to the survival of our Republic. Mr. Bell has used your publications for his own selfish propaganda. Regardless how Mr. Bell has portrayed our neighbors in the San Tan Foothills, there are good, hardworking and honorable people here, caring people, and mostly people trying their best to help our community. It would sure be refreshing to see the media, and especially the editorial staffs of the press recognize the real injustice, and finally come to the aid of the neighborhood under siege in the San Tan Foothills.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Junior Robin Shin (Brookline, Mass.) was selected the Women's Fencer of the Year by the Northeast Fencing Conference, becoming the first person in the history of the MIT women's fencing program to accomplish this feat. She also represented the Engineers on the sabre all-star first team while senior Molly Kozminsky (Port Matilda, Pa.) was tabbed to the sabre second team. Freshman Sarah Alkilany (Brooklyn, N.Y.) rounded out the Cardinal and Gray with epee second team accolades.
Shin received her second straight first team nod after amassing a record of 35-1 in conference competition. Kozminsky collected her fourth all-star award after going 29-7 and joined Cordelia Link '10 as the only athletes in program history to be four-time honorees. In the midst of an impressive rookie campaign, Alkilany's total of 24-8 resulted in MIT's first epee plaudit in three seasons.
Shin, Kozminsky, and Alkilany will be joined by senior Ana Escalante (Los Angeles, Calif.), senior Kirsten Hessler (Roswell, Ga.), senior Julia Hopkins (New York, N.Y.), junior Julia Kimmerly (Middlesex, Vt.), senior Breanna Peterman (Selden, N.Y.), freshman Rebecca Shi (Plainsboro, N.J.), and senior Rachel Williams (Merritt Island, Fla.) at the NCAA Northeast Regional Championship hosted by Boston College on Sunday, March 11.

With thoughts of spreading holiday cheer and lifting troops' spirits in mind, the Andrews University Community and International Development Program (CID) and the Department of Social Work organized an effort to send holiday care packages to deployed Seventh-day Adventists serving in the military. Following a campus-wide call for donations, the packages were assembled and readied for shipment on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2008. The packages, headed primarily to Iraq and the Horn of Africa, should be in the hands of troops no later than Christmas.
"One of the things that really impacted me was receiving care packages from family and friends," said Chris Reyes, an Andrews University community and international development (CID) graduate research assistant, when looking back on his service in Iraq, Kuwait and Colombia. "We would also get random bulk care packages from strangers, which always helped morale and reminded us that people cared back home, regardless if we knew them or not."
Contributions of travel-size games, snacks, pre-paid phone cards, sunscreen, holiday letters and cards were collected at the Andrews University Department of Behavioral Sciences and the Master of Science and Administration (MSA) Graduate Assistant Room for several weeks. Along with these items, over $200 in cash donations was used to help cover shipping expenses. In all, 30 packages were sent, thanks to Reyes and a package-assembly group primarily made up of MSA students in the CID Program.
The idea to support the troops developed around the beginning of the school year. Reyes served in the Air Force until July 2008 when he made the decision to attend Andrews University. While talking with his advisor, Mioara Diaconu, director of CID, Reyes was asked what could be done to help deployed military members and those returning from deployment. Retelling his comfort from receiving care packages, saying, "It is one of the easiest ways to help service members," the idea to support Adventist troops was born.
With plans to send care packages underway, Reyes and Diaconu were able to get a list of deployed Seventh-day Adventist chaplains from the National Serviceman's Organization in Washington, D.C. The chaplains gave them an idea of how many Adventist members were worshipping with them and informed the leaders about their specific needs. Some asked for DVD sermons of preachers such as Mark Finley, Dwight K. Nelson and Joe Rojas, etc. Others requested Sabbath School quarterlies, saying, "It is like having a piece of home with us."
"In the end, this was an opportunity to minister to another group of people," said Reyes.
Reyes and his team also have high hopes for the future by making this an annual event sponsored by the newly created International Development Club. They also hope to develop a database of Seventh-day Adventist military members.

XFX 5870 + 5850 CrossFire Review
After having tested and reviewing both the XFX HD 5850 and XFX HD 5870, it came time to make a review of the two in CrossFire. The amounts of shader processors are different between the two cards, as is the clock speeds between the two. With the XFX HD 5870 there are 1600 shader processors running at 850 MHz core speed and 1200 MHz memory speed. The XFX HD 5850 runs with 1440 shader processors with a 725 MHz core speed and 1000 MHz memory speed – both run 1GB of GDDR5. In the past mixed shader processor cards couldn't be run in CrossFireX but with the 5-series things have changed somewhat – 5800 cards can be ran in CrossFire together but not in CrossFire with 5700's. Continuing on with the similarities, both look the same except that in length the 5850's are shorter with the power ports moved to the rear. Both also support DirectX 11 and software voltage modification for increasingly easy Overclocking capabilities.
Running these in CrossFire mode will give performance that will be limited by the weaker 5850, but it will be interesting to see how well they scale together. Both will be overclocked in the end and tested again with a faster CPU overclock than normal to help shed some light on the true capabilities of the cards together.
Closer Look:
Both of the video cards look virtually identical from the top except that the length was scaled down, the artwork and shape is similar but the XFX HD 5850 is approximately an inch shorter. The blower motors look the same, but at higher speeds sound a bit different, possibly affected by the different overall design of the cards or different blower motors were used. Each card is labeled by the given video card name. Rotating around shows an immediate difference between the two video card designs. The 5870 has a back plate that is stamped ATI Radeon Premium Graphics, while the back is exposed on the 5850. The rear bolt patterns share a resemblance but since the PCB board is shorter. The XFX HD 5870 has some identification stickers located on the side of the video card near the PCI-Express slot while the XFX HD 5850 has most of them on the backside.
The expansion slots are exactly identical to each other, with the half-length vents and stacked DVI ports. The backsides are a stark contrast to each other but otherwise these two cards are very similar. Both cards have a retention mechanism to mount the heat sink firmly to the GPU core, and both have screws to hold various parts of the circuit board firmly in place. The side view shows a few more differences. After the CrossFire ports and vents the designs differ a bit, The ATI Radeon logos are in different positions and depths, and the XFX HD 5870 has two 6-pin PCI-Express connectors on the side while the 5850 has them in the rear vent.
The boxes that both cards came in are similar in dimensions except for height. The XFX HD 5870 is about twice as tall. The box art designs are very similar as well. Pardon the cable mess, both of the video cards are installed into the system with room to spare before the hard drive bay. There are two slot spaces between the cards on the MSI Platinum X58 motherboard but both CrossFire dongles reach fine. An extra fan was added to the chipset for stability when running far overclocked as the stock cooling on the chipset is inadequate at moderate overclock speeds when passively cooled.
With the XFX HD 5850 and 5870 installed, it's time to get the drivers up and running!

Indians win late, lose big at ML
A tip-in with three seconds left by 6-9 sophomore post Matt Hubbard lifted Colville High (4-3) to a wild 52-50 win over visiting Lakeland last Thursday night.On Friday at Medical Lake, the Indians were outscored 16-4 in the second quarter and dropped a 48-32 decision to the Cardinals of the Great Northern League.Back on Dec. 12, Colville used a big second half to rout visiting Wellpinit, 60-33.THIS WEEKColville was at Okanogan (5-2) on Tuesday in a non-league game against the Caribou-Trail League club. The Pioneers are led by 6-6 senior post Joe Townsend.Colville managed to beat Okanogan last season, but that was last year. In many ways, Colville is more inexperienced that they were one season ago.CHS head coach John Foulkes knows Okanogan well from last season. They return four starters. He also scouted OHS last Saturday in a 54-53 overtime loss at Cheney.Townsend, like he always does, led Okanogan with 35 points.Colville lost badly at home to Cheney earlier this month. "I would expect that they (Okanogan) would be fairly motivated to play us," Foulkes said, referring to their two losses last season to Colville. "We're excited to play them. They are one of the best teams in the Caribou-Trail League and it will give us a measuring stick about how we are playing."Indians have been inconsistent of lateTo date, the Indians have been inconsistent on both sides of the ball. CHS has been getting solid scoring from their big three of Hubbard, Alex Pond and J.R. Henry, but that's been pretty much it."We have to get better," Foulkes said. "We are definitely a work in progress."A win at Okanogan would likely be something of an upset and would give the Indians a confidence boost heading into the holidays."We'll try and defend Townsend by committee," Foulkes said. "But they've got other kids that can hurt you."Foulkes said Cheney didn't look anything like the team that pretty much manhandled his Colville team defensively. "Cheney didn't look like the team that handled us," Foulkes said.After the Christmas break, Colville will make its annual trip to Yakima and the SunDome Shootout. The Indians have a tough draw with Granger on Dec. 29 and Connell on Dec. 30.RECAPIn a game that was mostly close throughout, Lakeland outscored Colville 15-7 in the third quarter and led 40-34 after three quarters. But led by Hubbard's 27 points, the Indians outscored the Hawks of the Idaho Inland Empire League 18-10 in the fourth quarter.Fueling Colville's fourth quarter run was Hubbard's break-away dunk at the 7:20 mark that drew a technical foul from the Colville Valley officiating crew (hanging on the rim). Lakeland led by eight points at that juncture. One-minute later, Lakeland's lead had been trimmed to 40-37 on a Hubbard free throw.A Hubbard put-back and free throw narrowed the gap to 41-40 at the 6:06 mark of the fourth quarter.Pond, on a nifty baseline spin move, gave CHS the lead at 42-41 with 5:20 remaining. Lakeland recaptured the lead on a lay-in and a free throw before Hubbard buried a three-pointer to tie it at 45-all with 2:50 remaining.But Lakeland responded with a deep three of their own to take a 48-45 lead with 2:30 left. Back came Colville and Hubbard. A fade-away jumper from 15-feet out narrowed the LHS lead to 48-47.Lakeland converted one of two free throws at the 1:10 mark to push their lead to 49-47. But Pond drove the lane for two to tie the game at 49-all with 43 seconds left in regulation.Lakeland converted the front end of a one-and-one with 18 seconds left that gave the visitors a 50-49 lead and set up Hubbard's late heroics.After a Colville timeout, Henry drove the baseline. His lay-in fell off the rim and into the hands of Hubbard, whose put-back with three seconds left gave CHS a 51-50 lead. Hubbard was fouled on the play and converted the free throw.Foulkes was pleased to get the win over a team that handled the Indians in Rathdrum, Idaho last season. "I thought we played okay—not great," Foulkes said. "Matt was in the right place at the right time there."Hubbard was 11 of 15 from the field and three of four at the free throw line. He pulled down 14 rebounds, dished out two assists and blocked three shots.Pond was solid with 14 points and eight rebounds. He dished out two assists. Henry had eight points and eight rebounds.Foulkes credited Garth Vaagen and Taylor Murto for some solid work on the defensive end. Murto, Colville's point guard, had only two turnovers. Once again, the Indians had too many turnovers—20. CHS was 20 of 51 from the field (39 percent) and two of nine from three-point distance (both Hubbard treys).16-4 ML run Lakeland was 18 of 53 from the field. The Hawks stayed in it with some hot three-point shooting (seven of 14).Lakeland committed only six turnovers.One night later against Medical Lake's athleticism, Colville was taken out in the second quarter. In a grinder-type game, it's tough to overcome a 16-4 deficit. So it went in an ugly second quarter."Medical Lake has played well of late," Foulkes said. "We had trouble keeping Kendyl Dunn (24 points, eight rebounds and five assists) out of the lane."Unlike past ML editions, which have been more freelance and up-tempo, this Cardinals' outfit is more methodical. At least they were against front-loaded Colville."They have kind of adapted the old Washington State University philosophy of former coach Tony Bennett," Foulkes said. "Run the clock down…run a weave out front…dump it down and get a good shot. They have some good playmakers who can make that work for them.""They have done a pretty good job of adapting to what they have and the Dunn kid is smooth as silk," Foulkes said.ML packed it in and didn't give Colville many opportunities. The Indians hit only 14 of 43 from the field (32.6 percent). CHS turned the ball over a season-low 13 times. ML was 16 of 41 from the field in this grinder. The Cardinals were 6 of 15 from long range.Colville managed only one of 13 from three-point distance.The Indians were three of four from the free throw line. The hosts were 10 of 15."It just wasn't our night on offense," Foulkes said.Medical Lake packed in a zone around Colville's size inside. The Indians had no answers. Thirty-seven of Colville's 43 shots came from Hubbard, Pond and Henry.There weren't many rebounds to be had, but CHS out-boarded ML 20-18.35-4 runIn the win over Wellpinit, Colville went on a 35-4 second half run to turn a competitive game into a rout. Colville outscored the Redskins 25-4 in the third quarter.Henry led the Indians with 23 points and nine rebounds. He was 10 of 17 from the field.Hubbard added 15 points and nine rebounds. Murto had six assists and no turnovers. Pond added five assists to go with 14 points. Jay Shoemaker was three of five from the field (seven points) and dished out four assists.
