How many Hawks frontcourt players does it take to get posterized by Victor Oladipo? Most of them, apparently. The Orlando Magic rookie showed off the speed, lift and power that made him the No. 2 overall selection in the 2013 NBA Draft when he threw down this dunk over Al Horford and Paul Milsap on Tuesday night.
Amber Riley took home top honors, and the mirror ball trophy, on the season finale of “Dancing With the Stars.” For her professional partner, Derek Hough, it was his fifth overall win — a series record. Riley was a front-runner all season, starting with the first week when she scored the top score among all of her competitors. In fact, she had or tied for the top score in eight of the eleven weeks of competition, including both nights of this final week.
To wrap up a stellar season, Amber and Derek scored a perfect 30 for their final dance of the competition. Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff came in second, with Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke settling into third place. While fan support may have helped keep Bill Engvall in the competition longer than expected, in the finals the fans were perfectly in line with the judges for all three couples.

What if there was a free, fast way to feel happier every day? There is.
Expressing gratitude makes people happier, according to Tal Ben-Shahar, who’s famous for having taught a course at Harvard on happiness. In the course and in his books and talks, Ben-Shahar points to research finding that people who write five things they’re grateful for every day in a journal are happier, healthier and more successful than people who don’t.
And yet, in this fast-paced world, we don’t express gratitude nearly that often.

I have been a PC user all of my life, and primarily a Windows user. In a week, I spend more time on my PC than I have spent hands-on with a Mac for my entire life. Yes, the difference is really that drastic, but lately I have had a craving to tinker with a Mac.
No, this is not my story about how I am switching to a Mac because I still don’t own one. Lifehacker, however, has a nice guide that walks you through what a PC user might have a hard time with when plunging into the other realm. I read through it and I was surprised at how much I already know about Mac computers.
One thing that would frustrate me to no end if I used a Mac on a daily basis would be the Backspace and Delete keys. They operate backwards from what PC users are accustomed to (Backspace erases a character to the right where the Delete key erases a character to the left). Any experienced Mac user would not find any difficulty in remembering this but people switching from a PC probably won’t be fond of the change in terminology.
I know only a small percentage of the readers on this site are Mac users, but I would love to hear everyone’s opinions about what they like and dislike about a Mac.

The Wizards made 46 baskets in their 116-111 win over the Lakers on Tuesday night but this one was the most fun to watch. After stealing the ball on the defensive end of the court during the second quarter, Wall weaved his way through the in-transition Lakers before taking off for this 360-degree slam dunk.
This summer, Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg was sentenced to jail in Sweden after being sent there from Cambodia, where he was arrested after having received a sentence back in 2009 that ultimately resulted in a multi-million fine.

WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency has been gathering records of online sexual activity and evidence of visits to pornographic websites as part of a proposed plan to harm the reputations of those whom the agency believes are radicalizing others through incendiary speeches, according to a top-secret NSA document. The document, provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, identifies six targets, all Muslims, as “exemplars” of how “personal vulnerabilities” can be learned through electronic surveillance, and then exploited to undermine a target’s credibility, reputation and authority.
The NSA document, dated Oct. 3, 2012, repeatedly refers to the power of charges of hypocrisy to undermine such a messenger. “A previous SIGINT” — or signals intelligence, the interception of communications — “assessment report on radicalization indicated that radicalizers appear to be particularly vulnerable in the area of authority when their private and public behaviors are not consistent,” the document argues.
Among the vulnerabilities listed by the NSA that can be effectively exploited are “viewing sexually explicit material online” and “using sexually explicit persuasive language when communicating with inexperienced young girls.”
