| Cougars put shooting woes behind them, trounce Lobos
The struggling sophomore power forward drained his first shot from the baseline and wound up with 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting and 5-of-6 from 3-point range. "As soon as I made it, and I realized it, I was like, 'wow, I made my first shot,' " Tavernari said after a long hibernation from accuracy. "I hadn't made my first shot in a while." Sam Burgess (15 points) also experienced that good first-time feeling, nailing a 3-pointer that followed Tavernari's 16-footer to open a 5-2 lead. What seemed on the scoreboard to be no big deal was, in fact, the beginning of a colossal one. The rest of the Cougars (15-5 overall, 4-1 Mountain West) fed off that spark as BYU nailed 13-of-16 treys and shot 50.9 percent from the field. The Cougars had been hovering around, making just one-third of their attempts in each of the last three games, and December's non-conference play didn't finish so hot, either.

Mushroom: A potential new economic sector
Shahed Ahmed, an ambitious youth of Tongi, is desperate to change his life, but he is not interested in education but in business. So, he received training on mushroom cultivation when he was an HSC student and it paid dividends.
On completion of his training, Shahed gave up his study and paid full attention to mushroom farming. First, he began on a limited scale and the profit was good. Gradually, he extended the circle. He made a profit of Tk 25,000 in just two months by investing Tk 50,000. The success encourages him to go further. Assisted by four employees, Shahed now also produces mushroom seed.
Ratna Islam of Savar has another success story in mushroom farming. But once she was deadly opposed to taking mushroom considering it a fungus. When some of her neighbours began farming mushroom after training in the adjacent Mushroom Development Project, she became interested and began the journey after training.

He is a good three-point shooter and scorer who needs to develop some consistency as his career progresses. In the Sun Devils' four-guard lineup, Jerren Shipp and Derek Glasser also start. Shipp does a little of everything and can knock down shots, while Glasser is a very solid point guard who takes care of the ball at an unbelievable rate. His assist-to-turnover ratio is nearly four-to-one. Christian Polk sees minutes off the bench, although he hasn't played in three of the last four games. Jamelle McMillan backs up at the point. Arizona State usually utilizes four perimeter players and one big man on the floor.
