Charlotte makes eight free throws in final 4.7 seconds, stuns Richmond in A-10 tourney
Mar 14, 2013, 2:53 PM EST
NEW YORK – Charlotte's Pierria Henry hit eight foul shots in the games final 4.7 seconds to knock off Richmond 68-63 in the Atlantic-10 tournament.
Yes, you read that correctly. Eight foul shots in 4.7 seconds.
The Richmond Spiders led by three with 5.9 seconds left when they purposely fouled Pierria Henry, forcing him to making his foul shots instead of potentially sending the game into overtime with a 3-pointer.
But what happened next changed the entire complexion of the game.
After Henry made the front-end of a 1-and-1, Richmond's Derrick Williams shoved Charlotte's Willie Clayton to the ground while attempting to box out. The referees issued Williams a technical foul and Henry would be given two additional shots and the ball on top of the one he still had left to take. Henry made all three to put the 49ers up by one. On the ensuing possession, Henry was once again fouled by Richmond but not before he attempted to get a shot off. Richmond coach Chris Mooney was irate and was issued a technical foul for his efforts. He then tore off his jacket and was given his second technical foul and was ejected from the game.
"I am shocked. I don't think we played great, but we did do some things real well. It's a pretty devastating way to lose the game," Mooney said afterward. "I was upset. Probably too upset. I can't take it back right now. I certainly wish I could."
Charlotte head coach Alan Major was just as shocked. "you couldn't make that up if you want to make a movie out of that one. But, you know, we just talked to our guys about always making sure you keep your poise."
Henry kept his poise and made 5-of-7 free throws to put the game on ice.
According to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports' Eye on College Basketball, the referees released an official statement following the game regarding the initial technical foul which sent the game into a tailspin:
With 4.2 seconds remaining during the first free throw by Charlotte #15 (Henry), Richmond #34 (Williams) pushed Charlotte #21 (Clayton) to the floor after the free throw was made. By rule—deadball contact technical by "by Richmond #34 (Williams)—two shots and the ball at half court. Charlotte #15 (Henry) shot the remainder of his free throw (one shot). Any player can shoot the technical. The ball is then put in play at half court.
In the final 4.7 seconds of the game Henry went 8-for-11 from the free throw line. This was, in short, one of the most bizarre and unexpected finishes to a basketball game we've seen all season.

U.S. Congress Passes Ukraine Aid, Sanctions
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
April 2, 2014 3:03 PM EST
The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday for a package of aid and sanctions in response to Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region, and sent the measure to the White House for President Barack Obama to sign into law.
The bad news about the so-called fiscal cliff is likely to become worse, according to a study that says there will be a surprisingly big hit to employment come Jan. 1, 2013.
The 378-34 vote backed a package that was overwhelmingly approved last week by the U.S. Senate, a rare show of bipartisanship after weeks of haggling between Democrats and Republicans over how best to respond to the crisis.
The legislation backs a $1 billion loan guarantee for the Kiev government, provides $150 million in aid to Ukraine and surrounding countries and requires the U.S. State and Justice Departments to help the Kiev government recover assets amassed by corrupt Ukrainian officials.
It also imposes mandatory sanctions, including visa bans and asset freezes, against Russians and Ukrainians determined to have engaged in violence or human rights abuses in Ukraine, who undermined Ukraine's sovereignty or participated in "significant" corruption in Ukraine.
"This legislation is central to our effort to counter Russian aggression and support the democratic development of Ukraine," said California Republican Representative Ed Royce, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The measure does not include International Monetary Fund reforms sought by the White House and resisted by many Republicans in a dispute that had delayed the bill, frustrating lawmakers who wanted a swift response to the Ukraine crisis.
With many Republicans insisting that the IMF reforms were unrelated to helping Ukraine, Senate Democrats agreed to drop them from the legislation last week to pass it quickly.
U.S. Senator Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, had supported the IMF reforms. He said Tuesday's vote was an important show of unity.
"Passage of this bill allows Congress to speak with one voice in support of the Ukrainian people and against Russian aggression," he said in a statement.
The White House said Obama welcomed Congress' finalization of a Ukraine assistance package. In a statement, it also reiterated the administration's backing for the IMF measures "to ensure the IMF has the resources it needs to fulfill its mission and expand the tools available for Ukraine and other countries."
Several lawmakers said they wanted Obama to do more to punish Russia and discourage further intervention in Ukraine or elsewhere in eastern Europe, including imposing additional economic sanctions and targeting Russia's energy industry.

Julian Assange says he's leaving Ecuadorian Embassy but fails to offer explanation
Assange has been holed up in the embassy — a small ground floor apartment near London's Harrods department store — for more than two years.
|Report an Error
|Link to video
Share via Email
LONDON—WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange sowed confusion Monday with an announcement that appeared to indicate he was leaving his embassy bolt hole, but his spokesman later clarified that that would not happen unless the impasse over his extradition were resolved.
Assange made the cryptic comments during a press conference at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London following a meeting with Ricardo Patino, the Latin American nation's foreign minister. When asked about speculation — some of it sparked by a recent interview with a British newspaper — that the 43-year-old Australian was ready to leave the embassy to seek medical treatment, Assange declined to answer directly, instead pointing to Kristinn Hrafnsson, the WikiLeaks spokesman, who was in the back of the room.
"He said I can confirm that I am leaving the embassy soon, but perhaps not for the reasons that (news media) are saying," Assange said.
He refused to elaborate on the awkwardly worded statement.
Leaving the embassy would be a big move for Assange, who has remained trapped in the building since he sought refuge there more than two years ago. Assange is seeking to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted over sex crimes allegations, or the United States, where authorities are investigating his spectacular disclosures of secret information.
As bewildered journalists huddled after the press conference, Hrafnsson said that what Assange meant to convey was that he was ready to leave the embassy as soon as the British government gave him the guarantees he was seeking, namely the right to travel freely to Ecuador where he has asylum.
"The plan is to leave as soon as the U.K. government decides to honour its obligations," Hrafnsson said, repeating Assange's long-held position.
That seems unlikely anytime soon. Patino said Monday negotiations between Ecuador and the U.K. remain deadlocked.

After Sony's unveiling of a reworked and online-only Warhawk at GDC last week, a general assumption was made that the game would be available for purchase and download on the PlayStation Network. While this may still be true, a Sony spokesperson has confirmed to IGN that, "Officially, Warhawk will be released as a Blu-ray-based product." Well, we'll assume you know what they say about assuming.
Sony has not yet made any announcements regarding the price of Warhawk, though one would assume -- or rather, expect -- it to be appropriately priced for a title focused entirely on multiplayer content. At the Sony's bloggers meeting held during GDC, Incognito's Dylan Jobe said, "I don't think it should be a full-priced product." Go ahead and assume that you'll find out more before the game's late Summer release (u ass).

Auto Shanghai: Luxury cars aim for Chinese market
Wednesday 20 April 2011
Rolls-Royce has launched an extended wheelbase model of its Ghost sedan at Auto Shanghai, joining several other upmarket brands with new products on display at the show.
The Ghost Extended Wheelbase is designed for users who require even more room from the luxury marque's massive Ghost sedan and is expected to be popular with the ever-increasing number of wealthy buyers in China.
The addition of 170mm to the car's wheelbase has significantly enhanced the legroom, says Rolls-Royce, making it ideal for those looking to use it as a chauffeur vehicle.
Produced to order and with a limited number available until it enters full production next year, the Ghost Extended Wheelbase will be priced from 5.118 million yuan (around €550,000) in China, currently Rolls-Royce's second-largest market.
The new Ghost isn't the only option for wealthy buyers at the show, however.
Maserati is showing off its new GranTurismo MC Stradale, saying that its Asian debut so soon after the global debut in March is indicative of China's growing importance to the Modena-based Italian luxury company.
Ferrari's new FF is also on show, as the Lamborghini Aventador, which was also released last month at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland.
Auto Shanghai runs April 21-28 in Shanghai, China.

American Football: 'The Freezer' sends Packers to Super Bowl
Tuesday 25 January 2011
The Green Bay Packers entered the NFL play-offs as sixth and bottom seeds in the National Football Conference. Yesterday, they were the oddsmakers' early favourites to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers on 6 February and claim their first Super Bowl in 13 years.
The Packers' 21-14 win over the their bitter rivals the Chicago Bears in Sunday's NFC championship game wasn't a thing of beauty. It was sealed when gargantuan 24 stone 7lb tackle BJ Raji ploughed to an 18 yard touchdown after an interception – while the most important contribution by Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers may well have been not a touchdown throw, but a tackle to nullify one of his own mistakes.
But it was just enough to see Green Bay past a Bears threat that fizzled just 47 seconds from the end, when Chicago's third-string quarterback Caleb Hanie threw an interception to end a drive that could have produced the tying score, sending the game into overtime.
The win means that Green Bay have won three consecutive play-off road games, defeating the NFC's top-three regular-season teams in the process: the third-seeded Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round; the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons in the divisional round; and now Chicago, the second seeds.
If Sunday's game belonged to anyone, it was Raji, known as the "the Freezer" in a take on William "the Refrigerator" Perry, the Bears' legendary defensive lineman of two decades ago (who at his peak weighed in at an even mightier 25 stone.)
As nose tackle, Raji's normal job is to tie up offensive linemen. "You never dream about having a touchdown as nose tackle, it's one of those things that ain't in my head," he said afterwards. "I was like, he really threw this? All I had to do was catch it, I knew I was going to the end zone if I could catch it."
In fact, the game could have turned much earlier when, with the Packers leading 14-0, Rodgers threw an interception to Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher. But the quarterback chased down and managed to tackle Urlacher, saving a potential touchdown that would have put Chicago right back in contention. "I don't get paid to tackle, but that was probably one of my better plays of the day," Rodgers drily noted.
The AFC championship game was an equally gritty affair. Though the Pittsburgh Steelers jumped out to a 24-0 lead over the New York Jets before half-time, the Jets did all the scoring thereafter, including two touchdown passes from second-season quarterback Mark Sanchez.
But a win is a win, and the Steelers' 24-19 victory takes them to a familiar place – centrestage at the greatest single occasion in US sport, for the third time in six seasons. A win would give them an unprecedented seventh Super Bowl. "It's not always pretty, but somehow we always find a way to get it done," said Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers' quarterback. "That's us, that's the Pittsburgh Steelers."

Cloud uptake set to explode across Africa
COMPUTING| Nov. 28, 2013, 12:35 p.m.
Cloud computing uptake is about to explode in Africa's major economies, as businesses gain confidence in both the security and reliability of the Cloud. This was the key finding of the Cloud in Africa: Reality Check 2013 research study1, released today by World Wide Worx and Cisco. The study was conducted among a small but representative sample of senior information technology decision-makers in medium-sized and large companies in Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa.
Among the survey's key findings anre:
- While South Africa currently leads the continent in Cloud uptake, it is about to be overtaken – dramatically – by Nigeria.
- In 2013, 50% South African medium and large businesses are using Cloud services; while a slightly lower proportion – 48% – are using the Cloud in Kenya. Nigeria lags substantially behind, with only 36% of businesses there currently using the Cloud.
- A significant 44% of Nigerian businesses say they will embrace the Cloud in the coming year, bringing the total in that country to 80% by the end of 2014. This compares to 24% of organisations in Kenya and only 16% in South Africa saying they will be taking up Cloud.
- The key to the rapid adoption of Cloud computing in Nigeria and Kenya can be found in the growing confidence that IT decision-makers have in the environment. Even where confidence is not high, distrust in Cloud has almost entirely disappeared.
- The survey showed that 57% of decision-makers across the three countries had high confidence in the security of the Cloud, while a further 34% were neutral – meaning they would wait and see, but were not negatively disposed towards it. Only 1 in 10 respondents did not trust security in the Cloud.
- An even higher level of confidence was expressed in the reliability of the Cloud: 73% of respondents across the three countries expressed high confidence, while most of the rest – 25% - were neutral on reliability.
- Private Cloud is the most popular in 2013 with 25% or organisations surveyed currently deploying this compared to 13% opting for Hybrid Cloud and only 7% of companies opting for the Public Cloud. In 2014, this trend is set to continue with 32% of companies opting for the Private Cloud compared to 18% for Hybrid Cloud and 16% for Public Cloud.
- The most popular category for cloud use today is storage (28% of companies) followed by SaaS (10% of companies surveyed).
"Cloud computing is the next big step in the evolution of computing and the Internet," says David Meads, Cisco's Vice President for Africa. "The broadband revolution sweeping Africa and the continent's reputation for innovation add up to tremendous appetite for services that will drive this evolution. Looking ahead, the Internet of Everything represents the largest online trend today. As more people, things and devices connect to the Internet in Africa, more data from more places will be introduced across corporate and service provider networks, which will open up new opportunities and increased demand for the Cloud."
"The fact that no one is expressing doubt about the reliability of the Cloud means that the final pieces of the puzzle are falling into place," says Arthur Goldstuck, managing director of World Wide Worx. "Now the Cloud becomes real in Africa."
Cisco Global Cloud Index Projects Cloud Traffic to Dominate Data Centres
In the third annual Cisco® Global Cloud Index (2012 – 2017), Cisco forecasts that global cloud traffic, the fastest growing component of data centre traffic, is expected to grow 4.5-fold – a 35 percent combined annual growth rate (CAGR) – from 1.2 zettabytes of annual traffic in 2012 to 5.3 zettabytes by 2017.
Approximately 17 percent of data centre traffic will be fuelled by end users accessing clouds for web surfing, video streaming, collaboration and connected devices, all of which contribute to the Internet of Everything, which is the networked connection of people, data, process and things.
"People all over the world continue to demand the ability to access personal, business and entertainment content anywhere on any device, and each transaction in a virtualised, cloud environment can cause cascading effects on the network," said Meads. "Because of this continuing trend, we are seeing huge increases in the amount of cloud traffic globally within, between and beyond data centres over the next four years."
From a regional perspective, the Cisco Global Cloud Index predicts that through 2017, the Middle East and Africa will have the highest cloud traffic growth rate (57 percent CAGR), followed by Asia Pacific (43 percent CAGR) and Central and Eastern Europe (36 percent CAGR).

RCMP lay bootlegging charges against Riverton store owner
A store owner in the Interlake has been charged with bootlegging.
RCMP said its officers had been involved in a joint investigation with staff from the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission which resulted in charges Monday against Bilinski Enterprises, operators of The Other Place in Riverton.
The company has been charged with three counts of unlawful sale of alcohol, selling alcohol out of hours and selling of alcohol for resale.
The company was served with a summons to appear April 15 in Arborg Provincial Court.

No Need For Speed title this year
The Need For Speed series will be taking a break this year according to the studio behind it, Ghost Games.
Ghost Games boss Markus Nilsson has stated that they will not be releasing a title this year and will be using the "extended development window" to focus on the title that they are preparing for 2015.
Nilsson explained to investors in the latest financial report, "We are already deep in development on our next game and want to make this promise to you: we will listen to you. We're going to give you the game you've been asking for. It will be the game you deserve, but to do that will take us some time."
"From now on," he continued, "you'll be hearing from us regularly because we need your help to shape the future of Need for Speed. We want your input on future gameplay and features we know you're passionate about. We will keep innovating, always making sure to continue the celebration of cars and the joy they bring."
Need For Speed: Rivals was Ghost Games' debut on the series and did rather well.
Thanks DualShockers.

Trade Deadline: Dodgers, Rangers reportedly join Angels in hunt for Rays P James Shields
|07.26.12 at 1:05 pm ET
The Angels' AL West-rival Rangers as well as their crosstown-rival Dodgers have joined the trade talks for Rays starting pitcher James Shields, according to CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman.
Heyman said that all three teams have proposed trades to the Rays, but Tampa Bay is looking for a more enticing offer. He also reported that the Angels discussed a package including young center fielder Peter Bourjos, who hasn't played much because of the emergence of sensational rookie Mike Trout.
According to Heyman, the Rangers also are interested in Zack Greinke and Josh Johnson, while the Dodgers remain high on Ryan Dempster and possibly Matt Garza as well.
Shields, 30, has a $9 million team option for 2013 and a $12 million team option for 2014. He's 8-6 with a 4.39 ERA this season.

No cash? No problem. Trade it! For businesses that join trade clubs, it's not all about the Benjamins.
By Adrianne Jeffries/ Photo by Anthony Pidgeon
In 1962, a salesman came to Bob Galas's jewelry store in Medford with a strange proposal. The salesman belonged to a private trade club founded in Oregon, but with members all over the world. Remarkably, all business within the trade club was done without cash. Would Galas like to join?

Several state attorneys general are pressing Google to make it harder for users to find counterfeit prescription medicine and illegal drugs online, marking the second time in three years the firm has drawn government scrutiny for its policies on rogue Internet pharmacies.
States want Google to crack down on online drug sales
Their complaints, conveyed in a letter signed by 24 top state prosecutors, led to private meetings with Google executives earlier this year in Denver and Washington, producing contentious exchanges about the company's practices. Now, while some of the attorneys general are pleased with Google's response to their concerns, others want the tech giant to go further.
At the same time, the company's past practices have raised the ire of shareholders, who have alleged in two little-noticed lawsuits that a lax stance by the company toward prescription drug ads until 2010 put it in legal and financial jeopardy.
Google, which failed to persuade a California judge to dismiss the suits, entered settlement talks last month after attorneys for the shareholders obtained emails showing that top executives warned then-Chief Executive Eric Schmidt and co-founder Larry Page more than a decade ago about the risks of accepting such ads.
Google declined to comment on the shareholder suits. But the company said it has poured resources into trying to stamp out rogue Internet pharmacies, disabling 4.6 million pharmaceutical or health supplement ads that did not meet its standards last year. And since 2010, when it toughened its advertising policy, the number of Web ads placed by unlicensed pharmacies dropped by 99.9 percent, according to Google.

Turks lose taste for traditional coffee
Turkish coffee, which takes time to prepare, seems less suited to the pace of modern life and young Turks are more likely to grab a cup of cappuccino as they dash to work.
- Image Credit: Reuters
- In Turkey nowadays, traditional Turkish coffee is fast losing its popularity to modern coffee blends.
Ankara: Turkish coffee, the symbol of Turkish tradition, has been around since the 16th century yet many Turks now prefer imported cappuccinos, lattes or tea.
Turkish coffee, which takes time to prepare, seems less suited to the pace of modern life and young Turks are more likely to grab a cup of cappuccino as they dash to work.
Some see this trend as evidence that Turkey is becoming more Westernised. Hamdi Akan, a coffee enthusiast, is not impressed.
"This society is more and more Americanised," he said, while sipping Turkish coffee and water and eating Turkish Delight in an Ankara shopping mall.
A poll on Akan's website suggests more people think tea—cheaper and heavily promoted by producer groups—better reflects Turkish culture than coffee.
In an attempt to stem the traditional coffee decline, Akan has petitioned the government to oblige all global coffee chains to offer genuine Turkish coffee on their menus.

He admits, however, that they can't force customers to buy it. "People probably won't order Turkish coffee when they go to a Starbucks café.''
"The lack of diversification in Turkish coffee is its greatest problem. You can't serve it up in different flavours," he said.
In an effort to rekindle Turks' interest in traditional coffee, some companies have employed professional fortune-tellers to attract customers.
Turks traditionally turn their coffee cups upside down after drinking. The pattern formed by the thick residue is believed to hold the key to that person's future.

World Series: Fresh-faced Cards vs bearded BosoxBy BEN WALKER
The Associated Press | October 21,2013Big Papi, Dustin Pedroia and the bearded guys from Boston. Michael Wacha, Trevor Rosenthal and those fresh mugs from St. Louis.
Pretty neat face-off in this World Series.
Cardinals-Red Sox, once again in October. Fully rested, theyll open Wednesday night at Fenway Park.
Postseason stars from past and present Carlos Beltran, David Freese, John Lackey, David Ortiz and Adam Wainwright.
Juicy plotlines can Gold Glove catcher Yadier Molina shut down Jacoby Ellsbury and the runnin Red Sox? Can all-world closer Koji Uehara stop Matt Holliday and the Cardinals?
Plus, plenty of history think Stan Musial vs. Ted Williams in 1946, Bob Gibson vs. Carl Yastrzemski in `67 or Pedro Martinez vs. Albert Pujols in 2004. Or, perhaps more memorably that last time, Curt Schilling and the bloody sock vs. The Curse.
The Red Sox and Cardinals are hardly arch enemies, however. They havent played since Kevin Youkilis homered over the Green Monster in the 13th inning on June 22, 2008.
This year, Boston and St. Louis bounced back from disappointments and tied for the most victories in the majors with 97. Not since the Braves and Yankees in 1999 have league win leaders met in the World Series (the Cardinals and Red Sox were the top-scoring teams in their leagues, too).
Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino and Bostons scraggly band rose under first-year manager John Farrell, a season after the team hit bottom under Bobby Valentine with its most losses in nearly five decades.
Matt Carpenter, Matt Adams and St. Louis rebounded a year after wasting a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series against the Giants. Manager Mike Matheny got lots of help from a rookie-laden staff.
Wacha was the MVP of the NLCS and is 3-0 with a 0.43 ERA in the postseason. Rosenthal took over the closer role with a 100 mph fastball. Shelby Miller, Carlos Martinez and others also made major contributions.
The Cardinals captured their 19th NL pennant by trouncing Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers on Friday night in Game 6 of the NLCS.
The Red Sox earned their 13th pennant Saturday night, riding Victorinos go-ahead grand slam to a 5-2 victory over Detroit in Game 6 of the ALCS.
Its been a special ride, Pedroia said, and were still going.
For Beltran, this will be his first time in the World Series. For the Cardinals, its their fourth trip in 10 years.
For the Red Sox, its their third Series visit in the last decade. And they hope for a repeat performance from 2004, when they never trailed during a four-game sweep of the Cardinals and won their first championship since 1918.
Johnny Damon playfully called his Boston teammates a bunch of idiots and Kevin Millar exhorting them to Cowboy Up! Manny Ramirez was the MVP of the series while Ortiz showed he was more than a slugger, switching from designated hitter to snazzy fielder at first base when the Series shifted to old Busch Stadium.
There are just a few leftovers from that fall.
Ortiz lined a key grand slam in this ALCS. Molina is now regarded as baseballs best defensive catcher he was 21 in that `04 matchup and a backup to Matheny.
Now, their teams are set to meet for the fourth time in a World Series. Aside from Dodgers-Yankees, there hasnt been a more common pairing since that initial Red Sox-Cardinals meeting in 1946.
Here we go again.
