Late 3 gives Miami 13th straight victory
Associated Press
CLEMSON, S.C. — No. 3 Miami kept its perfect Atlantic Coast Conference season intact, no matter how bad things may have gone against Clemson.
Kenny Kadji had 12 points and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 36 seconds left in the Hurricanes' 45-43 victory Sunday night.
Their poor shooting, bad turnovers and ugly execution that showed themselves at times against the Tigers?
"All that is irrelevant," Miami coach Jim Larranaga said. "We won the game. Time to move on."
And they'll do it at 12-0 in the ACC, the hottest league start since Duke went 16-0 on the way to the conference title in 1998-99. Miami (21-3) will likely supplant Duke — which lost at Maryland on Saturday night — as the country's second-ranked team when the new poll is released Monday.
With six games remaining, the Hurricanes hold a three-game edge over second-place Duke in the ACC as they chase their first league basketball championship.
"All we're thinking about is being 13-0," said Durand Scott, held to 3 points on 1-of-8 shooting.
Miami's single-minded focus on the moment paid off at Littlejohn Coliseum. The Hurricanes were down 42-38 on Jordan Roper's steal and coast-to-coast layup with 2:00 to go. Clemson got the ball back moments later when Shane Larkin's 3-point try rattled in and out and the large crowd could smell the upset.
Instead, Miami dug in down the stretch to escape with its 13th straight victory.
K.J. McDaniels missed a 1-and-1 try for Clemson and Miami's Rion Brown drove lane for a basket and got fouled, his three-point play drawing Miami within a point.
McDaniel made one of two foul shots before Kadji hit an open 3 to put Miami in front for good. Rod Hall tried to answer back for the Tigers (13-12, 5-8), but Miami's Trey McKinney Jones drew the offensive foul with 13 seconds left.
After McKinney Jones made a free throw, Hall again drove to back, but his layup try didn't go. McDaniels missed a tip in attempt as time ran out. Miami's players hugged each other in relief when it was over.
Larranaga said it would've been easy for his team to lose composure when the shots wouldn't fall. "But we were able to stick together and that makes a huge difference," he said.
The Tigers endured their second straight home heartbreaker. They were beaten 58-57 by North Carolina State on Scott Wood's 3-pointer at the end on Feb. 10.
Clemson coach Brad Brownell said his team continues to miss makeable shots. "I thought we got the ball in great places on a lot of possessions, but you need to score to win," he said.
It was far from the prettiest game the Hurricanes have played in the breakout season. They scored their fewest points this year, shot under 26 percent in the first half and saw their high-scoring guard duo of Scott and Larkin go just 3 of 16 from the field.
None of that made a difference for Kadji, who easily made the decisive shot.
"We're going to fight until the clock is finished," Kadji said. "That's something coach always tells us. You want to play hard and try to win."
Freshman Jordan Roper had a career-high 19 points for the Tigers. Devin Booker added 10 points and 11 rebounds, his fifth game this season with double-figure points and rebounds.
Scott shot 1 of 8 and scored three points — he came in averaging 14 per game — but grabbed 11 rebounds, one shy of his career high.
"You've got to find other ways to help the team," Scott said.
Miami came in as the first ACC team to go 11-0 since North Carolina in 2000-01. The Tar Heels, who were No. 1 and had won 18 in a row at the time, saw the streak end at Littlejohn Coliseum in a stunning upset — the Tigers lost the previous game by 34 to North Carolina State and their next one by 32 to Wake Forest.
The Hurricanes looked as though they wanted to take this one over early, taking an 8-2 lead on Jones' 3-pointer with 11:37 to go. The Tigers, though, shook off a slow start — they opened 1 of 17 from the floor and missed 15 straight shots — with a 13-4 run to move in front 15-12 after Booker's strong, one-handed jam.
Miami found its stride late in the half to pull ahead 18-16 on Brown's jumper.
Neither team was all that crisp shooting in the opening half. Miami hit just 25.9 percent (7 of 27) while Clemson finished at 23.3 percent (7 of 30). The teams really struggled from way outside, combining to go 2 of 21 from 3-point range.
No. 4 MICHIGAN 79, PENN STATE 71
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Trey Burke scored a season-high 29 points and freshman Glen Robinson III matched a career high with 21 to help Michigan bounce back from an embarrassing defeat with a victory over Penn State.
The Wolverines (22-4, 9-4 Big Ten) had dropped three of their previous four games, including a 23-point loss Tuesday night at No. 8 Michigan State, and needed a half to shake off their slump. Michigan trailed for much of the first 20 minutes against a last-place team without a conference win.
The Nittany Lions (8-17, 0-13) led by as many as eight in the first half.
They went ahead 7-plus minutes into the game and had the lead until Burke made a game-tying, off-balance fadeaway with 55 seconds left in the first half.
No. 9 ARIZONA 68, UTAH 64
SALT LAKE CITY — Mark Lyons scored 18 points, freshman Brandon Ashley added 10 in a reserve role and Arizona defeated Utah to snap a two-game skid.
Arizona led by as many as 13 early in the second half only to see the Utes respond with a 14-3 run to tie it at 51 with 7:28 remaining on Jason Washburn's tip-in.
No. 12 LOUISVILLE 59, SOUTH FLORIDA 41
TAMPA, Fla. — Russ Smith scored 15 points and Louisville stayed within a game of first place in the Big East with a lopsided victory over South Florida.
Smith, Wayne Blackshear and Kevin Ware did all the scoring for the Cardinals during a 22-3 run in the first half. Smith finished with six rebounds and four assists for Louisville (21-5, 9-4), which has won four of five.
No. 20 WISCONSIN 71, No. 13 OHIO STATE 49
MADISON, Wis. — Ben Brust and Jared Berggren each scored 15 points as Wisconsin routed Ohio State.
Sam Dekker came off the bench to score 13 for the Badgers (18-8, 9-4 Big Ten), and Traevon Jackson added 10.

Things I liked:Well built gun that feels good in the hand. The scope was almost right on out of the box. Fun gun to shoot.
Things I would have changed:Have a manual safety. The automatic safety is annoying and not needed.
What others should know:Fun gun that is well built and is accurate out of the box.
Things I liked:This is an awesome pellet rifle. I couldn't be any happier with the initial out-of-box experience. The accuracy is freakin' sweet, it only took me 3 shots to set up the scope and I spent the next 2 hours wondering why I didn't buy this before.
Things I would have changed:The stock has a cheaper feel, I may look to an upgrade, but it works as-is.
What others should know:The bolt was stiff for about the first hundred shots and it jammed a few times, but the pure satisfaction of the shots is great. I am going out tomorrow for the second taste.
Things I liked:Bolt action is real crisp. 8 round clip is a real plus. Scope is nice, but wish i had opted for something a little more adjustable.
Things I would have changed:The fit and finish around the Co2 cover is a little loose.
What others should know:Well worth the money. Very accurate right of the box. Nice gun!

"We are giving my daughter a Wine & Cheese Bridal Shower and started out with this design since there is no specific shower card of this type. The invitations arrived today and they turned out perfectly! We love them. The design is darling, colors are great and the paper is high quality. I tweaked the card twice until I got it right where I wanted it (added the necessary info, changed a font, moved a couple of lines, etc.) and then sent in the approval. The invitations have exceeded my expectations and believe me, I'm pretty fussy. Thank you, Wedding Paper Divas. Now I'm back for the "Thank Yous"."
"This was my first experience with Wedding Paper Divas. They exceeded my expectations! The paper quality was gorgeous - and the photo was perfect. I am very happy with this purchase!"
"The quality is very good. everyone commented on them. They were the perfect size for a reminder of a party. They also have a professional staff ready to help with any questions. I will use them again in the future. The price was reasonable."
"I had no problem personalizing this invite. The directions made It very easy to do. I chose 5 invites that I liked then asked my mother which one she liked best and it was the tasty blooms. The quality of the paper for the invites as well as the envelopes were great! Text was a little trying only because the options given were not all condusive to the size of the invite. Great product!"
"I used these invitations for my husband's 40th birthday party. He's a Maryland guy, so the crab and the nautical feel were perfect for a summery, outdoor party and raw bar. They weren't too feminine, but just exactly right for the event. They'd be adorable for an engagement party or summer couples' shower, or a BBQ/Crab feast or birthday party like ours. I absolutely LOVED these invitations and I have had literally dozens of compliments on these - everyone thinks they are adorable. Wedding Paper Divas - my only critisicm would be that these don't have any writing on the back to say where they are from! Normally, you see "Tiny Prints" or whatever printed on the back, but these are completely blank on the back. You should fix that because you'd sell oodles of these cute invitations here in Maryland! The paper is nice and thick, and the colors are crisp and beautiful. You will be SO happy with these invitations!"

Reality is always a surprise to the oblivious.
As a resident of Pinson, I'm glad he's off the streets, since he committed his initial crime in the "demilitarized zone" between Center Point and Pinson. Yes, everybody makes mistakes, but most mistakes don't last from Friday through Monday, involve robbery, escape, assault on police officers, and assault on your own MOMMA for God's sake. He may indeed learn from those mistakes, and as long as he does his learning behind prison bars, I'm OK with it.
Hopefully he'll quit before we are forced to choose between a pedophile and a Democrat. I wonder if it's too late to get a less-offensive third option on the ballot? Maybe Homer Simpson is available.
Reckon we'll have to pull all the sandwich bags off the shelves at Walmart, 'cause somebody might sell weed in 'em.
A trained, armed citizenry equals a decrease in criminals. A decrease in criminals equals a decrease in crime, AND a decreased likelihood that crime will be seen as a viable means of making a living by youth. Perhaps then they will take advantage of the educational opportunities that already exist. But as it now stands, why should they? It's much easier and much more profitable to live as a predator when the prey animals are sheep.
Yep, those traffic cameras sure are keeping the citizens safe! Wake up, folks... your elected officials are idiots, and YOU are PREY. Arm yourselves, or get out while you can.
And what specific rights were "voted away" here?
"Elections have consequences." --Barack Obama
No, but it is a sterling example of the fiscal ineptitude of this administration... crippling the legitimate energy industry while pouring money down the "green" sinkhole. Obama's "investments" are killing us. Here's a clue, Mr. President... broke people (and broke governments) cannot, by definition, invest. Borrowing and spending isn't investing; it's just piling up more debt. Only idiots believe they can borrow themselves into prosperity, and only the mathematically illiterate believe you can just tax wealthy people a little more and fix the problem.
Solyndra. Beacon. Evergreen Solar. SpectraWatt. Eastern Energy. Five now-bankrupt "green energy" firms that received a total of $6.5 billion from this administration. That Obama is still making these "investments" should indicate to everyone that there are problems in the administration, so why, pray tell, should we welcome efforts to further extend its regulatory reach into legitimate business?
Actually, donations to Obama in 2012 have far exceeded those to Romney or any other Republican candidate. It is only since Romney emerged as the de facto nominee that the tide has turned. Obama's handlers know the only way he can defeat Romney is to attack the financial sector with his class-warfare message. Having milked them of donations, he is now turning on them to boost his fundraising efforts with his traditional base.
aturner, again I must interject... the vast majority of the comments on this board regarding the "Black Panthers" are in reference to the ones whose activities plague society and attempt to drive wedges between the races TODAY. You are obviously an authority on Huey, Bobby, and their Marxist brethren, but the ones who aren't dead are too old to matter now, and we must deal with what's in our faces today. If you haven't heard the various media pronouncements concerning their activities, it might be explained by which media outlets you frequent. I've heard a LOT about them, and I'm not psychic... the coverage is there. As for Holder's Do(In)J, I wonder how quickly his goons would descend if the folks spewing the hate were wearing pointy white hoods... in other words, not "his people", as he himself has delineated. Fortunately, it looks like his days at Do(In)J are numbered.
That said, I offer my congratulations to you for debating issues on which we obviously disagree while maintaining a civil demeanor. Well played, sir, well played.
aturner, you're obviously an intelligent and literate fellow, so I must assume you knew very well that the comment to which you originally replied was referencing the current Panther population, not the original militant group. That said, I wonder why you chose to reply to june2012's comparison with a reference to the latter, then pivot and point out the difference between the two groups in reference to my comments. Nonetheless, I must take issue with your statement about the current group: "They talk but no one listens." The media most certainly listens, and slavishly reports every utterance. And the crowds listening to all that talk about killing cracker babies usually seem pretty worked up, too. It seems the only person who DOESN'T listen is Eric Holder, who continues his quest to make the Justice Department the most marginalized joke of a Federal department that has ever been.
Voter intimidation in the 2008 election, complete with paramilitary uniforms and billyclubs.
Publicly advocating the killing of "crackers and cracker babies".
Putting a "dead or alive" bounty on a U.S. citizen who is, despite their uninformed opinion to the contrary, innocent until proven guilty.
Yes, those Black Panthers are really calm, reasonable folk.
Now, let's see about getting rid of Birmingham's occupational tax.
To reciprocate, I will suspend my boycott of Center Point businesses. I would like to help my neighbors recover, and restoring commerce is a good place to start. But, as soon as they start monitoring the cameras again, I'm outta there.
"Rescue"?? Uh, it's just over knee deep....
Ideally, give me Newt's brain grafted onto Ron Paul's guts. Practically? WTH, nominate Homer Simpson... I'd still walk uphill both ways to vote for him to replace Obama.
Grind your editorial ax for Beason's neck if you wish, but it is beyond disingenuous to blame him for long tag renewal lines. If the numbers you cite are correct... 23% renewing online, and 21% by mail... the blame for the lines falls squarely on the remaining 56% who insist on renewing in person.
The county should allow simple renewals ONLY via mail. Perhaps then the folks who really have to be there (for new tags, transfers, etc.) won't have to wait so long. If you dither around and don't mail your renewal until the last minute and get penalized or ticketed... too bad. The renewal comes up the *same* time every single year.
The illegal immigrant problem is inextricably linked to the welfare problem. The "jobs Americans won't do" would be a lot more attractive if those who disdain them couldn't rely upon the rest of us for food and shelter.
As it is, we feed and house people who won't work, while we also contribute to the feeding and housing of those who enter the country illegally to work. If you actually think the illegals contribute more in taxes than they receive in benefits, go to your local Walmart and watch their wives and children stand in line with overflowing buggies full of groceries, which they pay for with food stamps. Go to an emergency room and see how many of them use the ER like a clinic.
ONLY in liberal la-la-land is this sustainable. What part of "survival of the fittest" don't y'all get?

Commonly known as the ball headed war club, this weapon was used in the early 16th century. The better clubs were carved from a naturally curved hardwood root burl, sapling or branch. The wood of choice was hornbeam (ironwood). In battle, a blow from the ball of the club could break a limb or crush a skull with little effort. The ball was sometimes spiked with antler, bone, knapped stone, or iron. Working with custom bladesmith Rich McDonald, Cold Steel president Lynn Thompson developed this version.

The Pirates lodge an official — but impermissible — protest over the Jerry Meals call
Jul 27, 2011, 10:30 AM EDT
The Pirates filed an official protest with Major League Baseball over Jerry Meals' call at the plate. That's nice and everything, but it should be and will be dismissed out of hand by Major League Baseball, because it is an impermissible protest under the rules. Here's Rule 4.19 of the Official Rules:
Each league shall adopt rules governing procedure for protesting a game, when a manager claims that an umpires decision is in violation of these rules. No protest shall ever be permitted on judgment decisions by the umpire. In all protested games, the decision of the League President shall be final. Even if it is held that the protested decision violated the rules, no replay of the game will be ordered unless in the opinion of the League President the violation adversely affected the protesting teams chances of winning the game.
Whether a tag was applied or not is a judgment call, so the protest is invalid.
Wanna make the Pirates fans really mad? Fine the team for the knowingly impermissible protest!
- stevejeltzjehricurl - Jul 27, 2011 at 10:35 AM
This may be a dumb question, but how come the Royals' protest of the pine tar game was permitted? I'm guessing that the decision by the ump that Brett's bat had too much pine tar wasn't a "judgment decision" under the rules, but I would love to have that confirmed.
- Craig Calcaterra - Jul 27, 2011 at 10:40 AM
The story there was that there was no debate over how much pine tar was on the bat, but there was a question as to whether the umpire's application of the rules — disallowing a home run due to too much pine tar — was proper. I believe that they ultimately ruled that the ump merely should have taken the bat from the game.
- stevejeltzjehricurl - Jul 27, 2011 at 10:45 AM
Thanks for the clarification. So if I'm reading your point correctly, if the ump had applied the rule correctly, Brett's bat would be ruled ineligible for further use, but the home run would stand. Not sure I agree with baseball's logic, but them's the rules. Besides, it did mean the Yankees got screwed, which is never a bad thing. 😉
- captainwisdom8888 - Jul 27, 2011 at 10:36 AM
This is 1 game out of 162…they're better off forgetting about it.
- joshfrancis50 - Jul 27, 2011 at 11:39 AM
Easy to say that, but how many pennant races go down to the final days of the season? The Pirates are in a precarious position right now and every win is critical.
Of course, I'd probably argue that getting a few more losses in this week may be for the best in that it could dissuade them from making silly trades that do little to advance the franchise.
- Senor Cardgage - Jul 27, 2011 at 2:53 PM
People always say that the games in April count the same as the ones in September, and in a strict sense they do. Likewise, the runs in the first inning count just as much as the runs in the ninth. Still, teams with big leads or slim leads late in the game or late in the season play differently.
- FC - Jul 27, 2011 at 11:49 AM
Tell that to the Twins… who twice had to play game 163 in back to back years…
- ant - Jul 27, 2011 at 3:21 PM
That one game moved them from first in the Central to third.
- ant - Jul 27, 2011 at 10:42 AM
RE: fine for impermissible protest
That's like the Chris Webber timeout!
- schlemealsschlimazel - Jul 27, 2011 at 10:45 AM
"In all protested games, the decision of the League President shall be final."
League Presidents haven't existed since '99. This feels like a sure fire win for the Pirates. Loopholes, bitches!

Channelling your inner Jesse Pinkman sir?

Well worth whatever fine is levied.
- bigleagues - Jul 27, 2011 at 11:31 AM
I'm amazed that MLB has not updated sections of the rule book that specify things like " League President" and "each league".
Does anyone else think that CEO Selig's tenure has been largely about waiting for the next controversy to REACT to or stay silent about.
- Jonny 5 - Jul 27, 2011 at 11:36 AM
I think Jumping him by the Pirates is in order in this case. It was kind of obvious he wanted the game over with. He doesn't deserve to officiate.
- 12strikes - Jul 27, 2011 at 11:53 AM
How can contact be a "judgement" call? If contact is judgement call, then EVERYTHING in baseball is a judgemet call.
If a ball bounces the foul pole, that will be a judgement call on if a home run ot not?
I understand Strikes and Balls being judgement calls, but not contact.
Check swing strike is a judgement call.
Again, MLB kissing the Umps a$$.
- vikesfansteve - Jul 27, 2011 at 2:43 PM
Judgement call or a case of an umpire wanting to just go to his hotel & call it a night?

For nearly a year Nicholas Grod sat on a treasure, telling only his friend and his wife that he'd found $200,000 worth of savings bonds tucked away in his Oregon basement.
While spring cleaning one day last year, the 32-year-old university student found a wooden box under a homemade canning shelf in the mud room of his northeast Portland home.
"It came loose and I remember I fell back," he said. "My heart was pounding, and I could see there was typing on the envelope it was in. The star. I realized afterward maybe he even put it there as a clue -- X marks the spot."
What Grod found were war and U.S. Postal Bonds dating back to the 1940s. Mystified by the identity of the owner, Wilfred Petterson, Grod began a research project that eventually led him to the man's heir.
Grod, an art history and Chinese language major, admitted that he initially felt a lot of emotions.
"I think the biggest one was probably greed," he said with a laugh, even though he would have been unable to cash the bonds himself.
Instead, he listened to his inner good Samaritan, telling ABCNews.com it was "better to give than to receive." Once the mystery was solved, he made a surprise telephone call to Oklahoma.
VOTE: Did Grod do the right thing?
Thomas Fagg of Tulsa, Okla., Petterson's 58-year-old grandson, was just getting ready to watch the Super Bowl when he got the call that he had just inherited close to a quarter-million dollars.
"My mother and father never had anything," said Fagg, a retired public school math teacher who now works as a juvenile detention counselor. "When we were growing up my folks lived paycheck to paycheck."
Grod said he was concerned that Fagg wouldn't take the call seriously.
"I was really specific to him to say, you know this is not a joke, not a prank call," he told Valerie Hurst of ABC News affiliate KATU.
Meanwhile, Fagg said he was thinking, "This can't be for real, because things like this don't happen to people."
"There are absolutely no words in the English language to describe someone who has that amount of honesty," Fagg told ABCNews.com. "It's just totally unbelievable. It's a story you read only in fairy-tale books."
Grod's efforts to find Fagg were anything but fiction. He spent months searching the Internet to find the house's original owner, while also studying and working a part-time job as a cabinetmaker.
Turning to the U.S. Census, he learned that Petterson had a wife, Lydia, and two daughters, Nellie and Velma.
Grod also discovered that Petterson had worked for the fire department -- "the biggest clue in the whole journey" -- leading him to confirm that the mystery man had bought his house on 11th Street in 1927.
Petterson died in 1955 and his wife died in 1975. But an online obituary for his daughter Nellie in October led to a grandson in Tulsa -- Thomas Fagg.
When Grod first called, he "asked me me lots of questions to verify who I was, then he told me the story," said Fagg.
Grod explained that Fagg would receive bonds with "several large denominations" worth about $200,000. The good Samaritan had even gone online to find the bonds' serial numbers to learn their value.

Exactly what you'd think
It's not light weight, but ultra-light isn't always ultra-right. I used the 1.1L pot on my recent backpacking trip to the Smoky Mountains and it served it's purpose. I used it with my MSR Pocket Rocket and it worked perfectly but I opted for stainless steel over titanium for reasons of durability. This pot also works well over an open fire and can be scrubbed shiny clean using sticks, rocks, steel wool, whatever. Of course, lighter would be nice.

(Memphis) An East Memphis woman says she almost picked up the accused bank robber known as the 'Risky Business Bandit.'
Paige Patterson says Mathew Schwitzer called her for help just minutes before the FBI arrested him.
Patterson says she knows her friend is likely going to prison – she doesn't believe he belongs there – but is glad she's not going with him.
"He wanted to get out of the apartment," said Patterson.
Patterson says Schweitzer was at his sister's apartment when he found out the FBI was about to close in on him.
"I didn't know about it until he called me and wanted me to come get him because he was scared."
Patterson says he called her for help, but wouldn't say exactly why.
"I asked questions. I asked him if he pissed off the wrong person but he told me he would tell me about it when I got there."
When Paige pulled up to Schwietzer's sister's place on Madison, she says the place was surrounded by federal agents.
"I didn't know what he did, and then his sister called and told me that they're saying that he robbed a bank."
Schwietzer is accused of robbing three banks in the Mid-South, dressed up in such a way that people dubbed him the 'Risky Business Bandit.'
Paige says she's known him since 2011 when he worked at a restaurant in Cordova as the chef and she was a waitress.
Schwietzer was in recovery then.
Lately, she says, he's been struggling with his heroin addiction.
"Honestly, drugs will make you do anything."
While drugs definitely had a hold on him, investigators say Schwiezter did not use a weapon in his robberies and Paige believes he's not capable of hurting anyone but himself.
"I don't think he deserves the harsh punishment is probably going to get."
A federal judge has ordered Schweitzer to go to a locked-down treatment facility for now, but that doesn't mean he won't be facing prison time when his case goes to court.

From one island to the next.
What a week. Sorry about my M.I. A. status. This has been the first time since I left my little spot in the sun in the S. Pacific last Monday that I have had time to even sit down and think. Basically came home, did laundry, said hola to the fambam and within two days was on a boat putt putting away to my new home. Crazy… I know.
Welcome to Santa Catalina.
A beautifully pristine segment of the Channel Islands right off the coast of the Sunshine state, Catalina is a favorite for scientists and tourists alike. For the next semester, I will be participating in the CSU Marine Biology Semester hosted by CSU Long Beach. I will be studying at the USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies, learning as much as I can about all things watery.
Since we got off the boat it has been a non-stop ichthyology fishfest and I am loving every minute of it, except maybe the only getting a max of 5 hours of sleep every night (that I could live without). From 8 in the a.m. to well into the night, it has been learning about bones, behavior, identification and so much more! Every ecology nerd's dream, so naturally I think it's awesome. So much to learn, so little time. Hope to keep you all informed.

Marchand lifts Bruins to 3-2 win over KingsThe Associated Press | January 21,2014AP Photo
Los Angeles center Jordan Nolan fights with Boston left wing Milan Lucic, right, during Mondays game.BOSTON Brad Marchand really didnt have an explanation for his recent run. He just wants it to last as long as possible.
Marchand continued his hot scoring stretch with a pair of goals Monday, lifting the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings.
He also had two in Bostons shootout loss in Chicago on Sunday and has scored six in his past four games.
After scoring just one goal in his initial 14 games this season, hes had 11 in his past 15.
When bounces are going your way, you get more confidence, he said. I think thats all that it is. I think early on I didnt feel confident in anything I was doing. Hopefully itll continue.
The Bruins were also happy about how they played in consecutive games against strong teams, coming off the loss in a Stanley Cup rematch with the Blackhawks on Sunday.
Ive gotta be honest here, Boston coach Claude Julien said. I was really impressed with how well we played. I would have liked to have gotten the extra point, but to come back with an afternoon game against a team that plays a (physical) game.
Torey Krug had the other goal for the Bruins, who won at home for the 11th time in 13 games. Backup goaltender Chad Johnson made 21 saves.
Were very happy, Marchand said. Two very good teams with back-to-back with travel. This game was a really tough one. Weve got to be happy. We played a great game yesterday.
Linemate Patrice Bergeron can see Marchands confidence growing.
Well, definitely confidence helps a lot, he said. I think thats got something to do with it, but I think that he is really moving his feet and hes using his speed to his advantage and hes creating a lot of plays just by his hockey instincts. Hes taking whats in front of him, hes not forcing plays.
Willie Mitchell and Jeff Carter scored for the Kings. Jonathan Quick stopped 20 shots. But their special teams gave up goals in the opening period.
We gave up a goal on the power play and penalty kill, defenseman Drew Doughty said. We picked it up in the second, but that was too late. You cant let that happen.
Los Angeles has lost two straight, but collected points in six of eight (4-2-2).
Marchand scored 18 seconds after Los Angeles had tied it when he one-timed Bergerons pass inside the right post by Quicks glove.
I actually didnt see what happened, Doughty said. It happened right after. We were talking on the bench. We cant let that happen. We actually had the momentum there. You cant even let them get a scoring chance after that.
Trailing 2-1 with just under 11½ minutes to play and the Kings skating on a power play, Carter fired a shot past Johnson for his team-leading 19th of the season.
Marchands short-handed goal and Krugs on the power play gave Boston a 2-0 lead after one.
Marchands first goal pushed Boston ahead 1-0 just over 12 minutes into the game. His score was filled with stick-handling and persistence after he beat two Kings players before slipping the puck between Quicks pads.
Bergerons pass sent Marchand in one-on-one against Doughty. The Bruins winger shifted around Doughty, but lost control of the puck just before he attempted a shot. After getting it back, alone with three Kings players in front, he shifted around Anze Kopitar before firing a forehand shot.
I thought he was going to shoot it, so I went down and tried to block it, Kopitar said. It went around me and it was a nice move that shouldnt have happened.
Krugs slap shot from the right circle clanged into the net off the right post, giving Boston a 2-0 edge at 17:51.
Los Angeles sliced it to 2-1 early in the second when Mike Richards circled the net and slipped a pass to Mitchell, who one-timed a shot under the crossbar near the right post.
Quick kept it a one-goal game for the rest of the second with a couple of nice stops. He made a sprawling right-pad stop on Reilly Smiths bid from the edge of the crease and a glove stop on Zdeno Chara.
NOTES: Boston D Adam McQuaid missed the game after leaving Sundays in Chicago with what Julien said, he believed, was a leg injury. He is being evaluated right now by our medical staff or doctors, Julien said before the game. I think, right now, its a leg injury. He had no further update after. ... Julien also said D Dougie Hamilton, who missed his fourth straight with a concussion, may be able to practice soon.

Installing Apache Ant in Windows
Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool. To install ant, please follow the instructions.
1. Download Ant.
2. Unzip downloaded file.
3. Rename the unzipped directory to "ant". You can choose another directory name, remember that name is not too long. A long name will create a problem in Win95, Win98 and WinMe.
On these systems, the script used to launch Ant will have problems if ANT_HOME is a long filename (i.e. a filename which is not of the format known as "8.3″). This is due to limitations in the OS's handling of the
"for" batch-file statement. It is recommended, therefore, that Ant be installed in a short, 8.3 path, such as C:\Ant.
4. Set ANT_HOME environment variable.
My Computer -> Advanced System Properties -> Environment Variable.
Now on the system variable click on New to add a new Environment Variable.
5. Update Path environment variable. e.g.(oldpath;%ANT_HOME%/bin;)
You don't require to setup CLASSPATH because of the following reasons
- Do not ever set
CLASSPATH. Ant does not need it, it only causes confusion and breaks things.
- If you ignore the previous rule, do not ever, ever, put quotes in the
CLASSPATH, even if there is a space in a directory. This will break Ant, and it is not needed.
- If you ignore the first rule, do not ever, ever, have a trailing backslash in a
CLASSPATH, as it breaks Ant's ability to quote the string. Again, this is not needed for the correct operation of the
CLASSPATHenvironment variable, even if a DOS directory is to be added to the path.
- You can stop Ant using the
CLASSPATHenvironment variable by setting the
-noclasspathoption on the command line. This is an easy way to test for classpath-related problems.
To test if Ant is installed successfully, go to command prompt and type ant-h. It will show you help regarding ant usages.

Open command prompt ant type following
user> echo %path%
check if it show you
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;c:\ant\bin;C:\Program Fi
It must be showing ant in your path. If it doesn't then you need to open your system environment variable and set ant in your path.
After setting it open new command prompt window.

Amit on
May 20th, 2009 8:39 pm
1. Variable name must be "ANT_HOME" (without quotes).
2. JDK is required and JAVA_HOME should be pointing to current installed JDK. Java may be required as you might be using javac command in some ant task.
keith mountaine on
May 20th, 2009 10:48 pm
when you say it should be pointing too jdk do you mean that the veriable value should be something like this?? D:\Windows\system32;D:\Windows;D:\Windows\System32\Wbem;d:\ant\bin;d:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13
or do i have the wrong thing??

For windows..
Assume Ant is installed in c:\ant\. The following sets up the environment:
set ANT_HOME=c:\ant
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk-1.5.0.05
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin
For unix/linux(bash)
Assume Ant is installed in /usr/local/ant. The following sets up the environment:
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk-1.5.0.05
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin
For linux/unix(csh)
setenv ANT_HOME /usr/local/ant
setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/local/jdk/jdk-1.5.0.05
set path=( $path $ANT_HOME/bin )
Try thzz …it definitely works..

This is the root location of the directory where you unzipped ant. e.g. if you unzipped ant into c drive then your ANT_HOME variable is "c:\ant"

plz help
Amit on
November 26th, 2010 8:50 am
It seems that you have missed some step. Make sure that you have set ANT_HOME environment variable to the location where you unzipped ant and you must update path variable as explained in step 5.
In case if it still doesn't work for you. Let me know exact directory location, value of ANT_HOME and path variable.

Amit sir,
thanks for your kind help
When i wrote echo %path% cmd shows the following location:
C:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\windows\system32\wbem;c:\windows\system32\windowsPowershell\v1.0\;c:\rogram files\java\jre6\bin
but when i write javac,it clearly shows that the javac is not recognised as internal or external command.
My user path is C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin
and classpath is same wich is C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin for java
and my system variable for ANT_HOME is D:\stallioncorps\apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.
my cell no. is 0-9896658668.
plz help i m a rookie.
Amit on
November 27th, 2010 10:12 am
I guess there is some typo in your class path.. see it carefully it is "c:\rogram files\java\jre6\bin". "P" is missing. Also close your command prompt and then open again after setting path.

Zork, excerpts, by ErWenn.
When I saw this brilliant idea, I knew I had to submit a map of my own. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I couldn't really remember the layout of most of the games I played, with the possible exception of Super Mario Bros. worlds 1-1 and 1-2. And then I remembered Zork I! There's a game I've made dozens of maps for. I made a mistake when I originally mapped the maze as a kid, so I didn't know about the room with the <SPOILER>cyclops</SPOILER>. As a result, I couldn't finish the game, and I so I ended up playing it off and on for years, until I found a hint-through that put me right.
When I decided to do my map here, I first tried to do it the way I originally made my maps, as a grid of boxes with names connected in particular directions, but after a few minutes I realized that while I knew the white house backwards and forwards, and I knew numerous details about the objects and puzzles, the game's world made no geographical sense whatsoever and thus I had no idea which rooms went where. Is the loud room next to the circular room? Where is Flood Control Dam #3 in relation to the rainbow?
So I scrapped the original map and decided to go for an ultra-detailed version of the initial above-ground region (although I'm just wild guessing on the forest), including all the objects. Some of those descriptions stick with me to this day: "an elvish sword of great antiquity", "a glass bottle (containing: a quantity of water)", etc. To this day, I am bedeviled by the lack of description on the "lunch". What kind of lunch is it?

Recipe by National Pork Board
"Easy and delicious, our pulled pork is fall-apart tender and mouthwateringly moist."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 (5 pound)
boneless pork butt (shoulder)
1 1/2 teaspoons
smoked paprika
2 teaspoons
black pepper
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
dried thyme
1 teaspoon
garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon
1 cup
Soft sandwich buns
Very moist pulled pork, perfect for a crowd because it is not too spicy (though it does have a bit of a kick) and the flavors are not too strong. It is a good pulled pork to serve with your favorite BBQ sauce. I like Sweet Baby Ray's or Maull's. Would make again!
This roast really lacked in flavor for me. Def. not what I was expecting with the ingredients in the rub. I think next time I will flavor it differently or add more/less of the spices. I used a combo of beef and chicken broth instead (I used bouillon cubes) of water. The pork was incredibly tender and the BBQ sauce helped a bit.

Delicious!! I used a 4.5lb pork shoulder, seasoned with our family's spice preferences: bit of sea salt, pepper, and onion & garlic powders. I dissolved 1 tsp of chicken base, as well as 1 tsp of beef base in the 1 cup of water (I couldn't imagine using just plain water). Cooked on high for an hour, then low for 4.5 hours, and it was fall-apart tender.....practically shredded itself! Before adding the bbq sauce about 30 minutes before we were ready to eat (used Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar), I saved some plain pork for my 4 year-old, who practically inhaled this, even though she's suffering through a summer cold. Served on corn-dusted kaiser rolls, along with coleslaw, this was the quintessential summer meal. Looking forward to leftovers!
This definitely is a great recipe for "Perfect Pulled Pork"! And just as stated the pork is "fall-apart tender and mouthwateringly moist". I used apple cider vinegar vs. water and cooked it low and slow. When it was done, I added a little liquid smoke. This is so easy to prepare and delicious topped with your favorite bbq sauce and served with all the fixin's: coleslaw, cornbread, and baked beans - YUM!
Followed the recipe instructions but used a commercial BBQ seasoning. The mouth-watering aroma as it cooked was only a prelude of what was to come. This was so flavorful, so tender and juicy, that serving it with barbecue sauce, albeit delicious, was only an afterthought.
Followed the recipe and it was really good. Since I was pinched for time, I cooked it on high for almost 5 hrs but next time I will definitely cook on low for longer - I believe it would have been much more tender.
Love this recipe! This was a last minute thing, so I boiled the pork roast in the spices on the stove for about 3 hours. Then gave it a rough chop and dumped it in the crock pot with my favorite sauce over night. Next morning all I had to do was stir it with a fork to break up the pieces. My co-workers loved it!
The first time I made this I followed the recipe to the 'T', It came out flavorless and a little dry, however, I saw an opportunity. I kept all the spices the same, same measurements and quantity, except the water. I cut the water down to a mire tablespoon, just enough to make a thick paste. I used that paste as a rub on the pork roast and tried again - HuRah! That is some good eatin'!

Netanyahu calls Iran's Rouhani "wolf in sheep's clothing"
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the UN summit Tuesday not to trust Iran and that President Rouhani is looking to "rush" the production of a nuclear bomb in the Persian country before the international community is able to "detect it and much less prevent it," according to NBC news and AFP sources.
Netanyahu believes that Rouhani is still on track to obtain and develop nuclear weapons and the Israeli Prime Minister expressed skepticism of the Iranian President's openness to negotiations with the West on a nuclear deal, calling him a "wolf in sheep's clothing."
Netanyahu further vowed that "Israel will not allow Iran to get nuclear weapons," even if it means that the Jewish country will be "forced to stand alone" in this endeavor.
Netanyahu met with US President Barack Obama earlier this week urging him to maintain economic sanctions against Iran, despite the American president's recent call to Rouhani last Friday, the first time that the US has had direct dialogue with the Persian nation in 34 years.
