Boys bowling team brings home state title Monday By Madi Forseth, Sidney Kennedy and Libby Nachtigal arrior boys bowling team members won a state title at the South Dakota High School State Bowling Tournament Monday at Eastway Bowl. In total, 12 schools from around the state brought a girls and a boys team to compete. Each five person team bowled three qualifying games to determine the seeding double-elimination bracket play later in the day. The WHS boys worked their way through the winner’s bracket by defeating Dell Rapids, Brandon Valley and Canton. They then faced off against Roosevelt in the state championship match. The match didn’t take long, as the Warriors defeated the Rough Riders in twostraight matches to be crowned the 2017 S.D. High School Bowling Champions. Junior Cyler Melvin said it was a great win. “We bowled great as a team,” Melvin said. “Whenever we needed a big shot, someone came through. We kept the intensity up throughout the whole day.” Freshman Miller Soutar-Bishop was named to the All-Tournament Team for bowling a 599 series during qualifying. The Warrior girls finished the tournament in a seventh-place tie. Entering into match play,

Sacrifice something you want to give up this year
Your smartphone knows you
The Christian season of Lent officially started yesterday as many people around the world celebrated the day known as Ash Wednesday. During this 40 day period, people of the Christian faith are invited to reflect on Jesus Christ’s suffering and sacrifice by giving up an item of luxury or a guilty pleasure they may have. After attending an evening church service and getting an ash cross traced on my forehead yesterday, I started to think about some options that I Hear me. . . could survive without for the next six weeks. One possibilCarson Herbert ity, probably the most common among participants, is any kind of junk food. Chips, chocolate, soda, ice cream and other unhealthy foods would all be considered wise examples of things I love, but would do well to sacrifice. If someone is looking to change any bad eating habits, this is the perfect opportunity to start a possible diet and feel good about it. My next idea is for social media users. It has become evident that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other forms of social media outlets have taken over our lives and maybe even become addictions. If anyone wants to test themselves and see if they are really addicted to the bright screen, they should consider deleting at least one of the social media apps on their phone, tablet or other electronic device. Whatever the luxury may be, just keep in mind the reason why you are completing this task and remember that you will be reunited with it in 40 short days. Senior Carson Herbert will not be giving up writing columns.
By Tim Johnson McClatchy (TNS) SAN FRANCISCO — The things that make human beings unique — fingerprints, irises, facial features — have become the preferred way to sign onto banking accounts online or other sensitive websites. The next security step: cellphones and computers that actually recognize you from a variety of factors. Your smartphone now gathers more information about you than you probably realize.
WARRIORS MAKE EXCELLENT

Technology Watch “It’s amazing how many sensors there are on a modern-day smartphone. You have motion sensors, like an accelerometer, a gyroscope and magnetometer,” said John Whaley, chief executive of UnifyID, a start-up that offers what it calls revolutionary authentication. “We can tell what floor of a building you’re on. We can tell if you are inside or outside of a building,” Whaley said. “Just with a few seconds of your walking data, from your phone sitting in your pocket, we can actually identify you based on that.” All told, smartphones can measure the angle that you cradle your devices, the pressure you put on the screen, how much of your finger touches the pad, the speed at which you type, how you swipe, your physical rhythms, the times you normally stir in the morning, some 100 or more indicators that in combination can give near total accuracy in identifying you.
