Did Corey Fisher really score 105 points?
August 11th, 2010 | 
Author: The story is this: According to a variety of trustworthy sources, Villanova guard Corey Fisher scored — prepare yourself here — 105 points in a New York City summer league game. Yes, you read that correctly. One. Zero. Five.
One hundred and five points sounds like an urban legend, something created after years of word-of-mouth exaggeration. Apparently not. Bounce Magazine, Dime, and NBADraft.net have all confirmed the scoreline, and the Hoop Doctors have something like a box score to go along with it. Fisher attempted 28 3-point shots and made 23 of them; he scored 72 of his 105 in the second half. Defense isn’t exactly a priority at summer league showcase games, but the description from Fisher’s game is that of a frustrated opponent double- and triple-teaming Fisher in an attempt to get the ball out of his hands. I’m guessing that didn’t work.
Unfortunately, the one data point missing here is video. That tends to cast suspicion over the scoreline; doesn’t pretty much every basketball game in the world, including summer league and park games, end up on YouTube eventually? Did no one have a camera out during a 105-point performance? Until we see video, we’ll always assume the worst. Such is the nature of the Internet in 2010.
So, yes, be advised: This could still be a hoax. But I sure don’t want it to be. I want it to be real, because I want to see it, and not the other way around.

Starting your own organic hydroponics gardening setup – hydroponics gardening supplies and points to remember
When Starting your own organic hydroponics gardening setup, you should remember that you will need to arrange two beds or layers in your hydroponic garden. The upper bed is, actually, a box to keep the plants in. This box should contain a growing medium for the plants to grow in. You can use perlite, coconut fiber, lava rock, Styrofoam pellets, rockwool or vermiculite for this purpose. The main thing about medium is that it should be able to keep a small amount of moisture for a long time. Experts assure that lava rock is best in this respect.
The lower bed is necessary to keep the water with the dissolved nutrients in it. The water is pumped with the help of an aquarium pump to the upper bed in order to water the plants. This procedure is repeated several times a day at equal intervals, being controlled with a timer.
Gardeners sometimes find it difficult to maintain the pH level of the water, its nutrition rate, and the ration of nutrients at the right level. These are, actually, the key factors, due to which a hydroponic garden or an organic hydroponics prospers. If these three crucial things in gardening are kept in balance with the help of Organic fertilizers, such technique of plants growing is called an Organic Hydroponic Garden.
Organic fertilizers are better for the plants than the chemical ones, as the latter are capable of burning the roots if used in higher concentrations.
When water solution is pumped to the trail with plants, it is partly absorbed by the medium and by the plants roots till saturation point. Consequently, the pumped water, returning back to the reservoir, contains lesser amount of parts per million (ppm) than before.
Organic nutrients make hydroponic gardening easier, as they do not contain any chemicals, which can change the pH level or ppm of the solution. As a result, many problems, listed among the most common ones of organic hydroponic gardening, get solved on their own.
It is a common knowledge that the upper part of a plant’s root uptakes nutrients, while the lower one absorbs water. To increase plant’s saturation with nutrients, it is possible to directly add them to the upper part of the roots, which, in the long run, will result in the more efficient organic hydroponics. To introduce such technique into your organic hydroponic garden, you should develop an organic hydroponics system.
The container can be similar as in the hydroponics gardening, or it can be a coir fiber container. It should be half filled with lava rock at the bottom. Then it is preferably to use a medium divider (e.g. coir fiber). The upper part of the tray should contain a mixture of 1/3 horticulture perlite of coarse grade, 1/3 potting soil, and 1/3 of large horticulture vermiculite.
When all this is set, it is necessary to place this container in the grow bed, with water level being a bit lower than the mixture of soils. Such arrangement will ensure the higher efficacy of the organic hydroponic gardening.
Lava rock with the secondary roots of the plants will be submerged in the water, and it will also serve to make this water flow up and moisten the soil mixture. At the same time, the upper layer of medium will be free to absorb the nutrients added directly to the primary roots.
Such hydroponic system saves a gardener from constant controlling and maintaining of the pH level and ppm of the growing medium. Nevertheless, beware of adding too many liquid nutrients to the soil layer: they may leak into the lava rock layer and disarrange your organic hydroponics gardening.
