Mercury Stays Hot, Beats Storm
Posted: June 3, 2014
Follow @bjyork
Opening the 2014 season with four of their first five games at home, the Mercury knew they had to capitalize as much as possible on their home court.
On Tuesday night, they did exactly that in an 87-72 win over the Seattle Storm and improved to 3-1 at home under Sandy Brondello. Only Cheryl Miller (4-0, 1997) earned a better home record in her first four games as head coach of the Mercury (Russ Pennell was also 3-1).
Now at 4-1 on the season, Brondello and the Mercury matched the best five-game start in franchise history - the last Phoenix teams to earn a 4-1 record through five games were the 2007 and 2009 squads, which both went on to win the WNBA title.
"Obviously, were all about team," Sandy Brondello said after the game. "So we try to have a lot of ball and player movement. Whomevers open shoots it, so its not just one person trying to force that action. I think thats always a key for our success."
With the win, Phoenix recorded consecutive wins against the Storm for the first time since August 4 - September 10, 2009. It was also the Mercury's fourth win against the Western Conference in just five games in 2014. Last season, the Mercury finished 9-13 against the West and did not win its fourth conference game until its 10th try (July 18 at Los Angeles).
Diana Taurasi finished with an all-around amazing game of 20 points, seven assists and four rebounds. Brittney Griner and Candice Dupree both had 20 points and eight rebounds.
"I had more poise tonight," Brittney Griner said. "If they were coming with the double team, I'd just kick it out to my players. If they didnt come quick enough, then I looked to score."
The Mercury - already the best shooting team in the WNBA at .504 entering the night - shot 53.2 percent from the floor Tuesday against the Storm. Phoenix also owns the league's fifth-best field goal percentage defense (.425) and forced Seattle into just 41.3 percent from the floor. Remarkably, the Mercury improved their WNBA-best scoring differential to +11.0 points after tonights 15-point win. Fourteen of the 17 championships in WNBA history have been won by that seasons scoring differential leader, including the Mercury in 2009.
"Sometimes you have to see the box score to see people contribute," Diana Taurasi added. "But you can feel that a lot of people did a lot today, in a lot of different areas. You can come back into the locker room and feel good about it. And we won, which is obviously something we want to do."
Ball movement. Phoenix assisted on 21 of their 33 made shots Tuesday night.
Perhaps more impressive, Griner and Dupree combined for eight assists which meant passing from the inside out was effective when a double team came - certainly a good sign moving forward.
Candice Dupree had her best game of the season Tuesday night.
Dupree finished with 19 points and eight rebounds on 9-of-12 shooting in 32 minutes. But more than that, she was assertive and aggressive in her attack on the offensive end.
11- the number of turnovers the Mercury had, which is closer to where they would like the number to be. Conversely, Seattle turned the ball over 15 times.
That's the game!! The @PhoenixMercury improve to 4-1 on the season with our 87-72 victory in #MercuryVsStorm!! We're #ChasingGlory!! M. Adam Demchak (@Demchak2) June 4, 2014

A statue in Paris of Jean François Champollion, the French archaeologist who deciphered hieroglyphics, [2] has been condemned as "derogatory" and "shameful" by Egyptian Egyptologists.
Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi carved the marble statue depicting Champollion standing with his left foot on a pharaonic head in 1875.
It was put on display in the Parc Egyptian created by French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette for the Universal Exhibition of 1877.
It was originally intended to be transported to Figeac, the birthplace of Champollion, but the project did not find sufficient support and it remained in Paris. In 1878, the statue was placed in its current location in the courtyard of the Collège de France.
The statue has triggered the anger of Egyptian Egyptologists and the antiquities ministry. [3]
Some Egyptian archaeologists [4]sent a petition to the foreign and antiquities ministries condemning the statue as "derogatory toward Egyptian Civilization."
They urged the French government to remove this "shameful statue."
Omar Al-Hadary, chairman of the Tourism and Antiquities Committee of the Revolutionary Youth Federation, asked the antiquities ministry to stop all French archaeological missions to Egypt [5] until an official apology is made and the statue removed.
Antiquities Minister Mohamed Ibrahim told Ahram Online that he would send an official complaint about the statue to the French ambassador to Egypt and the French culture minister.
"Such a statue disturbs the cultural relationship between Egypt and France which has been good since the French expedition to Egypt," said Ibrahim.
He said he supports creative freedom but things that affect the dignity and reputation of Egypt's cultural and archaeological heritage [6] cannot be ignored.
The French government has not taken action on the issue.

A 24-year-old Kitchener, Ont. woman whose torso was found in a large garbage bin on the weekend was " fundamentally a decent person" who had spent years struggling with drug addiction and run-ins with the criminal justice system, her lawyer told the local newspaper.
On Tuesday afternoon, Waterloo Regional Police identified the remains as those of Kelsey Louise Felker, but there was no sign of her head and limbs and it remained unclear how she was killed.
It was hoped an autopsy in Hamilton would shed light on the cause of death.
No arrests have been made.
In comments on a sorrowful Facebook memorial page, Ms. Felker was mourned as a caring person with a good heart.
In a message to The Globe and Mail via Facebook, a friend named Lisa Hayman recalled Ms. Felker as an outgoing person who was "a wonderful friend, easy to get along with, didn't show anything that was out of order or not right.... she didn't deserve this."
Another friend, Alicia Timmons, described Ms. Felker as "a great girl" who always had a smile on her face and would do anything for anyone.
"Sure, she went through a tough life and had her fair share of ups and downs but who doesn't," Ms. Timmons wrote in a message.
"It never kept her from achieving anything she wanted to do. Kelsey was a beautiful, fun- loving, caring, outgoing girl with a lot of potential and I am in complete shock as to what happened to her and I hope that police and reporters do everything to find the person responsible for her death."
Her former lawyer, too, told the Kitchener Waterloo Record that in his six years of representing her, his client was always pleasant to deal with.
But her fierce addiction to crack cocaine had dogged her for years and despite numerous attempts at intervention she seemed unable to stay sober, Brennan Smart said.
"She was clearly not interested in pursuing that path," he told the Record.
Among her travails were spells of incarceration at the Vanier Centre for Women in Milton, where at different times she gave birth to two children who were removed by authorities, Mr. Smart said.
Mr. Smart did not immediately respond to a voice-mail message seeking comment.
The newspaper also reached Ms. Felker's father, who said his daughter was herself given up for adoption and was raised by a family in Waterloo Region.
When her torso was discovered Saturday, by a person rooting through a garbage container behind a high-rise apartment in downtown Kitchener, it was clad in a black T-shirt bearing the words "Forget princess I want to be a vampire," in what appeared to be a reference to the movie Twilight.
Police said Tuesday that tips alluding to the distinctive T-shirt were key to identifying Ms. Felker, who had not been listed as missing before Saturday's gruesome discovery.
Waterloo Regional Police spokesman Olaf Heinzel said the immediate task of investigators is to retrace the last movements of Ms. Felker, who did not live in the building where her remains were found.
"The focus of course is on identifying the circumstances in which she died. It's being considered a homicide investigation, so we will be looking for a suspect or suspects who were responsible for her death. And we're still looking for the results of the post-mortem."
Mr. Heinzel added that as far as he knew, there have still been no other body parts discovered.
"I've not received any information to suggest there have been. The hope is that now she's been identified, anyone who's had contact with her might know something about her last hours – where she may have been, who she was with…She was reported missing after the discovery of the remains."
Dozens of police officers have taken a role in the investigation, Kitchener's first homicide this year.
Several other instances of dismembered bodies have made headlines in the past year, including the case of accused killer Luka Rocco Magnotta, arrested in Berlin last summer after body parts belonging to a Montreal university student were mailed to addresses in Ottawa and British Columbia.

i chose this method since the whole thing is easy to read,
easy to modify, and contains all the info you could really

more detailed than this, but in the interest of space:
as for the comment to write clear code and not

i do not believe that clear or obvious code is
always the best answer to the problem. sometimes
a difficult to see or downright ugly answer is the
perfect trick. if you only write clear code, then
good luck with unclear problems.

Last week we told you about an effort to reopen an old movie theater in Philippi.
And so far, Russ Stover's efforts are paying off.
He's already received more donations on his website, and people have also offered hundreds of dollars in donations over the phone.
Stover said he appreciates the generosity he's seen so far, and will be glad to work with those who may not want to donate online.
"I'm taking pledges over the phone. A lot of people are wary of doing things over the Internet, and I understand that completely, so they can just give me a call," Stover said.
Stover said there's about 80 days left on his online campaign. For more information, call 304-621-0313 or click here.
Original Story
The Philippi Grand Theater was a destination for many in the 1930s who wanted to catch a movie. It has since closed and is now empty, but one Elkins man is looking to reopen and put it back in business.
"A movie theater is one of those places where so many people around here have met their husband or wife here. And have such good memories of this place, and it would be great to be able to bring that back, not just for those folks, but for young people to make their own memories here," explained Russ Stover, from Elkins.
Stover discovered the Philippi Grand Theater when he was attending Alderson Broaddus College. He said he loves movies, and has big ideas for the theater.
"I want to revive the theater as a revival theater that shows old movies, foreign films, and documentaries. An independent theater that isn't dependent on the big studios coming out of Hollywood," said Stover.
Another one of Stover's ideas is a kids' day, where he would play old cartoons and have a cereal bar.
But none of these things can happen without some funding.
"I need about $25,000 up front to get any kind of funding from financial institutions. I have about 17% of my heart left after two heart attacks. It's a little difficult trying to get any kind of job to where I could pay for that stuff," Stover said.
Anyone can help Stover out, with the website he set up through fundanything.com. And for a donation, you'll get to enjoy the theater.
"Each person who donates gets a movie ticket, or two movie tickets, or four movie tickets, depending on how much they donate. The top one is $225, that includes full admission for a year, free popcorn and free soda," Stover explained.
Stover also said that his popcorn and drink prices will be reasonable.
You can help Stover out by visiting this website.
If you would like more information you can contact Stover at firstname.lastname@example.com.

View mapBeihai, City Centre intro. Resting in China's southern province of Guangxi, the city of Beihai is a seaport town that overlooks the Gulf of Tonkin. The Beihei city centre contains many of the hotels in Beihai, but the main attractions are found closer to the coastline. Flying into the city of Beihai is possible from some of the larger Chinese metropolises, but the airport is small. Arriving into town by bus is another popular method of transportation, as is by ferry. The city centre is home to some of the larger hotels in Beihai, which are close to a number of attractions, including most of the night scene establishments of the city, and Old Street. The best thing about hotels in Beihai is their rates. Most of the Beihai hotels are cheaper than other tourist cities around China. The fascinating Silver Beach is the main attraction in town, as the white quartz sand glitters an amazing colour during clear nights, and must be seen to be believed. Underwater World and the night markets of Beihai are also popular attractions in the city.

If you want an executable you will need to have an entry-point (which is main).

Redsgned initially came about as an idea after seeing an influx of designs done by other designers on Dribbble, Forrst, deviantArt and Behance. These were all redesigns or interpretations of popular sites or apps. Some were good, some were really good, and some… not so. Whatever the outcome, the designers all had one thing in common – they thought the original could do with improving.
Redsgned is a showcase of the very best redesigns from across the web and design-focused websites, featuring web designs, branding, app designs, UI and GUI, and product design. If you think you have a redsgn worth submitting, or know of another we've missed, feel free to submit it using our form and we'll publish as soon as possible. Enjoy!
About Phil
Phil is a web and UI designer from Liverpool, UK who is passionate about pixel perfect design and clean coding. Along with Redsgned, Phil also has his hands dirty with Zelda Timeline, Contrllr, and several other side-projects as well as caring for his family. A keen follower of football, rugby and sci-fi, you'll find Phil tweeting nonsense over at @psdesignuk and uploading regular scribbles to Dribbble.
Special Thanks
A special thanks to everyone who takes time out of their lives to make an attempt at redesigning something. Regardless of the motive, undertaking any kind of design is not a small task and without your effort, there would be no Redsgned, so thank you.
Also, I would like to personally thank Anthony Killeen, otherwise known as MrQwest, for his help in shaping and building v1 of Redsgned. Without his help and expertise, the site wouldn't have launched so successfully last time around, and though I've gone solo in developing this theme, Anthony's previous efforts have not been forgotten. Thanks man.

Business: The Company File
Sluggish shopping knocks John Lewis
Staff will still get an annual bonus, if slightly less than last year
A slowdown in consumer confidence has resulted in a fall in profits for the UK department store chain, John Lewis Partnership.
But a VAT rebate, which added an extra Ł30m to the partnership's coffers, eased staff fears that their annual bonuses would have to fall sharply.
Employee bonuses will dip only slightly form 22% to 19% of last year's salary - costing Ł89m.
After the pay out, the partnership's pre-tax profits for the year to 30 January stood at Ł147.9m, down from Ł152.6m last year.
Sales in John Lewis stores were static at Ł1.79bn, while sales at its Waitrose supermarkets rose to Ł1.73bn from Ł1.67bn.
'Sticky' time ahead
Chairman Sir Stuart Hampson said: "All we need is for a little more confidence among consumers to blow non-food retailing out of the doldrums."
He said the retail cycle was a well recorded phenomenon and the chain had plenty of experience managing the ups and downs.
"I foresee a sticky few months ahead, when control of costs will be essential to holding on to profit. The second half might be a little easier as we run towards the millennium, but this is a year for taking every week as it comes."
Expansion programme
The group plans to increase the number of shops in both chains, with two new department stores due to start trading in the next few weeks - one at the Bluewater shopping centre, near Dartford in Kent, and one in Glasgow.
Two more department stores are currently being built in Southampton and Solihull.
Seven new Waitrose supermarkets are also planned for Surbiton, Malvern, Oakhampton and Staines and three in London.
The Waitrose building programme is one of the partnership's largest supermarket expansions for a number of years.
John Lewis has 39,000 employees, 23 department stores and some 120 Waitrose supermarkets.
