2 THE TIGER TIMES • OCTOBER 2010

Libra, Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Some strong magnetism exists between you and someone you meet this Halloween. You’re ex-pected to join in with social events. If you aren’t in the mood, don’t feel obliged to participate.

Sagittarius, Nov. 22 - Dec. 20 Someone is up to some imaginative fun and frolics. Could that someone be you? The more flex-ible your plans are at this time, the more you will enjoy yourself. A friend is grateful for a tip you’re willing to give them.

Capricorn, Dec. 21 - Jan. 19 Creativity flows and there’s a lot of passion in the air this Halloween. A friend or loved-one’s re-action to a question or proposal you put to them might surprise you. Be sure to keep your promises.

Aquarius, Jan. 20 - Feb. 18 Don’t let your enthusiasm for life and enjoy-ment tempt you to overspend. You will have fun even if you are careful about expenses. You might detect a hint of deceit or dishonesty this evening. All is not as it first appears.

Pisces, Feb. 19 - March 20 There’s something really spooky going on and you can’t help thinking like that. You’re more sensi-tive to atmosphere and there may be one or two moments this Halloween when you will be con-vinced you’ve seen a real ghost.

Aries, March 21-April 19 You should get together with friends and others at a Halloween party. Make sure to wear a striking costume. JSome good times are near for you, and you can definitely see the light at the end of this long dark tunnel.

Taurus, April 20 - May 20 Change challenges you. You’re never at ease when circumstances are shifting and right now some important things are going on in your life. You seem not to have time for parties, but you should

at least make an appearance. It won’t be easy and there are a few mountains you will have to climb but you have the energy and stamina to cope. Per-severe, and you will triumph in time.

Gemini, May 21- June 21 Some interesting days are ahead. At Hallow-een, something extravagant and a little bizarre will make for a more mysterious evening. You get the chance to make some interesting new alliances and Cupid could also be involved. Be prepared for surprises!

Leo, March 21 - April 19 You always want to look your best and you might meet someone around this time who intro-duces you to a new diet or exercise program. It might sound like you will get fit the easy way but there’s probably more to it than others are making out. Even so, if you want to make a difference this is a good time to make an effort to get in shape.

Cancer, June 22 - July 22 You’re feeling lucky at this time. Dreams are vivid around Halloween. People visit you in your dreams; some faces you will recog-nize, others will be unfamiliar.

Virgo, Aug. 23 - Sep. 23 A friend or neighbor appreciates your practical and careful personal-ity. They might be planning a special event for this evening and with your help all will come together perfectly. You have a great way of keeping things calm and orderly when chaos threatens.

Scorpio, March 21- April 19You might feel it’s time for a change. A series of events will make you realize it is time to take on new long-term commit-ments probably of the professional kind. This will put you on a new career path and you will start to

feel more optimistic for the future. Your biggest concern this Halloween will be keeping an over-excitable child calm.

“I don’t like the sixth pe-riod, and the shorter lunch really sucks.”

“It’s definitely difficult, I feel like there’s no break in the day and I really feel the shorter lunch.”

Becauseof amistakewith receivingthe wrong testing forms, counselorsscrambled to reschedule the PSAT toOct.27insteadofOct.16. In an e-mail to teachers and stuff,Danette Gneiting, counselor, wrote,“I immediately contacted the CollegeBoardandwasinstructedtodiscontin-uethetestingandthatstudentswouldbeallowedtotakethePSATontheonlyalternatedateavailableforunusualcir-cumstances.” Despite the schedule change here,students all over theUnited States aretakingtheACT,SATandthePSAT.

YOU CAN DO IT! JUST FOLLOW THIS ADVICE. • Find a comfortable and quite place to study with good lighting and little distrac-tions, (try avoiding your own bed; it is very tempting to just lie down and take a nap.) • Take short breaks frequently. • Avoid Facebook. It sucks you in. And you know it. • Space out your studying. • Listen to some relaxing music such as classical or jazz on a low volume can relieve some of the boredom of studying. Classical music has actually been proven to increase brain activity. • Don’t study later than the time you usually go to sleep. Sam’s Club, Barnes & Noble and Hastings sell study aides, both hard copies and digital.

TIGERTIPS Take the Safe Driver Pledge online at www.teensafedriverpledge.com. According to Principal Randy Hurley, there could be an incentive to students at Idaho Falls High School if there is enough growth. For example, if more than 800 people take the pledge, there could be a day where lunch hour is extended.

TIME FOR SCHOOLNOWith the new schedule at IFHS, students are reinventing how to get to class on time.

The Tiger Tile is a lot less crowded this year as students adjust their social schedules to the new academic schedule. With six class periods a day, a 35-minute lunch time, and shortened passing period from six to five minutes, students are sacrificing their passing periods to actually get to class. With a five-minute passing period, students have to hustle to class and have no time to talk to their friends. Students have to bring a back-pack to class so they don’t waste time going to their locker. “I do not count tardiness if they are a good student and work hard while in my class,” Miles Hurley, computer informations system teacher whose classroom is located in

the south building. “If a student is late and does not work hard, then that is different. Do I slam the door and lock it when the bell rings? No.” However, teachers are not totally indifferent to tardiness. “Two or three minutes tardy is fine with me, but five minutes is not okay,” Hurley said. Not all students are opposed to the new schedule, however. “It’s cool,” Trevor Bodily, ju-nior, said. “I like it. The class times are perfect.” Teachers are adjusting to the new schedule, as well. “It’s tiring right now,” Levi Owen, English teacher, said. “But I think it will be a good thing after all — once we acclimate to having another class and having more students.”

“I think they cut too much time out of the various aspects of the day.”

- Casey Davis, junior

“The schedule is difficult to get from one class to the next without minor stress.”

- Connor Erb, senior

“The lunch is too short and so is the passing time.”

- Brady Galbraith, senior

“It will be nice having my students all year, although I will miss getting to know more students.”

- Danae Rogers, Sophomore English

“I like the short classes, but we need a longer lunch.”

- Ashlee Freeman, sophomore

TIME FLIES@ IFHS

This new schedule is ... strenuous. But don’t take our word for it.

“No time for lunch. Not enough time to go from one end of the school to the other.”

- Micheal Reynolds, junior

“I don’t like the schedule because there is no time to eat lunch. We have to go through the drive thru!”

- Steven Stockmer, sophomore

• Avoid the Tiger Tile. • Carry as many of your supplies as you can. • Carry a backpack. • Talk and walk. Make new friends in your same classes. • If you have a class outside, just keep walking. Find other time to so-cialize with your peers.

You only get to take the movie world utterly by surprise

once.But you can, if you're

going back to that "Paranor-mal Activity" well one more time, produce a more pol-ished, more "studio"-looking film the second time around — even if it's allegedly built around home surveillance video and camcorder foot-age of an ordinary So. Cal. family under supernatural assault.

Tod Williams’ “Paranor-

mal Activity 2,” a sequel-prequel to Oren Peli's scruffy, much-tinkered-with no-budget hit, is a confi-

dent, cocky and often comic promenade down the same primrose path. It had mul-tiple writers which give it

funnier touch for its first half, and a far more conven-tional Hollywood Horror finish. Stakes are raised, the effects are more special. And when you have a Paramount

When local skate shop - the only one in Idaho Falls - closed down a few months ago, skaters were forced to use online stores to supply their gear. Rayne Kraemer, sophomore, recounted that one day, he and his friend saw the need for skate supplies and con-vinced his friend’s dad to invest in a skate gear company. “We told him that if he wanted to invest in something we knew would make money, it would be worth it, “Kraemer said. “He in-vested around $2,000 and we started our com-pany, Broken Change. In the first week, we sold about 24 shirts.” Kraemer is look-ing to expand Broken Change - a name he and his friend thought of af-ter watching a Saturday Night Live skit spoof-ing President Barack Obama. “We hope to have a website up in the spring,” Kraemer said. “But business is going really well.” For now, local skat-ers can call his business line, (208) 202-2724 for orders In a few months for skate-related prod-ucts, such as blank decks, trucks, wheels, shirts, etc.

more lived-in two-story tract house — broken faucets, stained car-pets. There's a new baby, a second mar-riage for the father, Daniel (Brian Boland, good), a doting mom (Sprague Grayden, also pretty good), dad's teen daughter from his first marriage (Molly Ephraim, sassy and

believable) and a con-nection to the folks who were haunted in "Para-

normal Activity 1."So naturally, things

start going bump in the night. And as we learned in the first film, when they start going bump in the daytime, that's when you really need to worry.

"Paranormal Activ-ity" worked by lulling us, feeding the viewer banality and inactiv-ity until a tiny thing — a door opening, a shadow — jolted you into awareness. Wil-liams and Co. aren't nearly that subtle. But the best effects are still the simplest — a pool vacuum that crawls out of the water, by itself, in time-lapse, a dog alert to something we don't see, a toddler excitedly waddling over to a mir-ror.

It's not a bad movie. Even at less than 90 minutes, it takes its time to lull us into a false sense of security.

Lady Tigers stay ahead Brandon ColeStaff Reporter

If you want to establish yourself as a great volley-ball team, you first have to beat the city champs, Bonneville High School. The Lady Tigers did just that, beating the 4A state champion Bees, Aug. 31. All the training and practices with Barry Black paid off as Alexis Walker, senior, made an amaz-ing 16 kills while Hayley Farrer, junior, had six kills and 30 assists while Kathy Collette, senior, came up with a notable 10 kills. “I didn’t change any prac-tices to prepare for Bonnev-ille,” Head Coach Wendy Johnson said. “I just wanted my players prepared as pos-sible to defeat them.” Johnson also said she couldn’t recall the last time IF beat Bonneville. The young team is preparing to continue their dominance as they go into the State tournament this weekend. According to Johnson, the team has amazing potential.

TAKE IT LIKE A TIGER!SKYLInE AnSWERS LOSS WITH OnLInE ‘PROOF’ OF REFEREE BIAS

ABOVE: This photo, posted hours after a heated rivalry game between Idaho Falls and Skyline, caused suspicion of referee error. Steve Smede, editor at Idaho Falls Magazine, snapped the photo and showed it to his daughter, who at-tends Eagle Rock Junior High. She posted it on Facebook, and claims of foul play hit the Blogosphere. LEFT: The original photo, without cropping, shows much more detail. Photo used by permission from Steve Smede.

Austen KutscheSports Editor

It was if someone sucked all the air out of the atmosphere on the east side of Ravsten. Skyline player Colter Yde had just caught a potentially game-winning pass. But the ref called it out-of-bounds and IF ended up winning the coveted Emotion Bowl title for the fourth con-secutive year. Not even two hours later, Facebook lit up with a photo of “proof” the ref had messed up. It showed Yde, defended by Dylan Raymond, junior, al-legedly catching the ball — in bounds and within the end zone. Skyline fans called foul and that’s when the Internet was alive with the sound of Blue-sic. IF supporters claimed the photo had been tampered with electronically. In fact, most classes at both schools on Monday morning dis-cussed — and rationalized — what the photo could mean. Steve Smede, an editor for Idaho Falls Magazine, snapped the “infamous” pho-to. Smede showed the picture to his daughter who posted it to Facebook and that’s when the controversy took off. “She went ballistic, he was in, and it’s a touchdown. That’s her opinion,” Smede said in a TV interview with Local News 8. “It was great luck of the draw to get that moment re-gardless of the outcome.” The ref ultimately ruled the ball dead for an out-of-bounds catch. When the ref rules the game is over, it becomes a part of history.

SCREEn GRABSHere are some screen grabs from Local News 8. Channel 8 did their own investigation and found the call was valid. You can see their story at www.localnews8.com/sports/25092427/detail.html.

I WAS THERE!IF junior Dylan Raymond was defending Colter Yde in the photo. Here’s what he remembers:

From this angle, Skyline player Colter Yde begins to reach for the pass while IF player Dylan Raymond, ju-nior, is coming down from attempting to block the ball.

“Skyline was playing a short pass game. I didn’t expect the long pass dur-ing that last play so I fell behind. I didn’t see him catch the ball. When I looked up, it seemed like he was out-of-bounds. I just felt relieved when the referee called it out-of-bounds.”

Less than seconds later, Yde has the ball in his hands, but is not in control - crucial to determin-ing whether or not the play is complete. Notice the placement of his foot.

Yde’s foot is now out of bounds in this screen grab and still does not have control of the ball.


A matter of angles & depth perceptionBecause distances, angles and depth perception are not accurately captured by camera lenses, Ryan Hansen’s photojournalism class conducted a pho-tography experiment recreating the photo in question and shooting from several different angles. Here are the (approximate) results.

This photo was shot from the 52-yard line with a camera lens set to 200 mm. This is approximately where the photographer shot his photo.

This was shot at 55 mm (the focal length of the hu-man eye - more or less) from the referee’s point of view. He was approximately at the 22-yard line.

This was shot at 65 mm from behind the play. While the actors cannot rec-reate the exact moment, we can recreate an approximation and see how the photo could easily be misinterpreted. Notice the distortion distance from the “ref” to the “photographer.”

photographer(52-yard line)

referee(23-yard line)

play in question(1-yard line)

The photographer, referee and play were very far apart from each other. However, camera lenses distort distance and depth, causing the photo to be misleading.

PHoToSHoP FunWhile the photo circulated on Facebook was not manipulated in any way, we thought it would be fun to show some examples of what the photo could like after a session in Photoshop. Photo il-lustrations done by Oliver Reed.

DéJà VuLast year, IFHS photographer Brandon Clement fired off this shot at the Emotion Bowl. Notice the Skyline player’s number? Just like IF player Dylan Raymond, it’s #3. Also, the body positions are almost like the other photo. The only glaring difference? Our ball was obviously caught in the end zone, resulting in a touchdown.

The cross country team had a fairly suc-cessful season. They had many run-ners place in top po-sitions in most meets and even had a few runners head to state. One of the girls is

going to state is Am-ber Harmon, junior, a first-year runner. “I’m excited to go to State,” she said. “It justifies the long months of running my guts out to get better. Our girls team did well this year and they are just awe-some!” Seven of the girls

are going to State this year and one boy is go-ing. “I’m disappointed that the other guys aren’t going to be run-ning with me at State,” Trevor Clarke, junior, said. “But at least I get to carry on the shaved legs tradition. Plus, who doesn’t like short-ies?” LINDSAY RASMUSSEN/SPUD ANNUAL

Soccer teams finish strong, go to StateSkyler Fullmer &Drew FlittonStaff Reporters

The Idaho Falls High School soccer teams may not be undefeated, but they have kept the tradition that IFHS is not full of push-over athletes. Though varsity girls soc-cer team lost to Century, they succeeded and dominated the Blackfoot girls teams, which have reputations of being very tough opponents for the Tigers. The team may not have had the best record this year, but they played Skyline in a tough district match. “We do sprints and strength training to prepare for each upcom-ing game,” Clara Thomas, senior, said. The varsity girls team had nine returning seniors this year, which meant they had

lots of talent. “The team is still learning how to work together,” Thomas said. “We need a little more practice but the team is noticeably improving.” The varsity boys soccer game against Skyline, the Emotion Cup, was cancelled just as the Tigers were gain-ing momentum due to light-ening. However, according to the boy’s win-loss record, Skyline received this mira-cle in order to edge out the team. “The team has im-proved over the season,” Dawson McKay, senior, said. “We did lose skilled seniors at the end of last year and

thankfully we have good talent this year to make up for it.” The boys would have

an undefeated record if it weren’t for Hillcrest and the cancelled game against Sky-line.

The Tigers have tied twice and powered through most other Idaho teams to claim 10 victories.
