43 - 58 Final
Appling, No. 10 Michigan State down No. 22 WisconsinMar 8, 2013 - 6:56 AM Michigan State shut down No. 22 Wisconsin, 58-43, to keep its hopes of a Big Ten regular season title alive.
Michigan State had dropped three in a row coming in -- all to ranked opponents -- and was seemingly out of the conference title race.
But after Thursday's convincing win, which saw the Badgers shoot a pitiful 29 percent from the field, the Spartans (23-7, 12-5 Big Ten) can gain a share of the Big Ten crown on the final day of the regular season with a win over Northwestern and a Michigan victory over front-running Indiana on Saturday.
"It's my dream that this program is to the point where every year in the last week, week and a half, last two, three games, we still have a mathematical chance to win a championship," Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said.
Gary Harris chipped in 11 points and Adreian Payne totaled nine points and 11 rebounds in the rout.
Wisconsin (20-9, 11-5) has dropped five straight against Michigan State and eight in a row in East Lansing. The Badgers were done in by lengthy scoring droughts in their lowest scoring output of the season, including a seven- minute stretch early in the second half that turned a five-point deficit into a devastating 21-point hole.
Ben Brust led the Badgers with 10 points, while Ryan Evans finished with nine points and 11 rebounds in the setback.
A typically slow-paced first half between these rivals ended with Travis Trice draining a 3-pointer to give the hosts a 25-18 lead.
Jared Berggren opened the second-half scoring with a jumper, but the Badgers missed their next 12 shots as Michigan State began pulling away.
"You just can't have those spells," Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan said.
Appling highlighted the game-altering 16-0 flurry with a pair of three-point plays, the last pushing the margin to 41-20 with under 12 1/2 minutes to go.
The closest it got from there was the final score.
Game Notes
Trice recorded six of Michigan State's 16 steals ... The Spartans scored 23 points off 17 turnovers ... Michigan State improved to 16-1 at Breslin Center ... Wisconsin fell to 4-6 in true road games ... Wisconsin plays its final regular season game at Penn State on Saturday.

What you need:
1/2 kilo canton noodles (egg noodles)
300 grams sotanghon noodles ( bean thread noodles)
1/4 kilo chicken breast
1/2 kilo lean pork
1/2 kilo shrimps
4 pieces Chorizo bilbao (or Chinese sausage)
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium onion, sliced
1 medium red pepper, sliced
1 medium green pepper, sliced
1 cup brocolli heads
1 cup cauliflower heads
1/2 cup carrots, jullienned
1/2 cup snow peas
1/2 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup tenga ng daga (dried wood ear mushroom), chopped
4 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons cane vinegar
4 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup sliced spring onions for garnishing (optional)
What to do:
1. Boil chicken breast in 2 cups of water with a dash of salt, and shred. set aside. Set aside the broth for later use as well.
2. Marinate pork in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and cane vinegar. Let stand for at least 10 minutes, then slice into 1/2-inch strips.
3. Render chorizo. (Do not add any cooking oil to the chorizo) set aside.
4. Saute garlic ,onions, chicken and pork.When cook add in green and red peppers, brocolli, cauliflower, carrots, snow peas, and cabbage. Saute for another 5 minutes.
7. Add one cup of the chicken broth that you had earlier set aside. Make sure you use enough broth to cover your meat-and-veggies mixture. Add 2 tablespoons s of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Mix together, and boil for 10 minutes.
8. While waiting for the broth to boil, soak the sotanghon and cut according to your desired size. In a separate container, soak the mushrooms and then chop coarsely.
9. Once the broth has boiled, add the sotanghon and the mushrooms, and mix thoroughly.
10. Add the canton noodles, mix for another 10 – 15 minutes, until the canton noodles are soft. By this time, most of the broth should have dried up (or more precisely, has been absorbed by the noodles).

12. Add the chorizo and shrimps.
13. Garnish with spring onions, and serve with calamansi (Philippine lemon), or lemon.
Makes 8-12 servings

GUI problems? Most of the problems with Windows are driver issues - there aren't many GUI bugs that I'm aware of (there are ways for applications to *cause* issues with the GUI if they're written poorly, of course). As a developer and admin, I can say Windows is generally not the root of all problems - poor GDI and MFC code, poorly-written video drivers (ATI, I'm looking at you), and heavy use of directx on said drivers are what you'll see almost all the time when it's not an underlying hardware issue. On servers, none of these should be an issue - any admin installing anything but the stock VGA driver better be doing RemoteFX or Terminal services, or they're replaced .

I'm only relaying what I was told.
I believe he said 70% of all security updates only apply to the non-Server Core version (i.e. the GUI version) of W2K8 Server.
I realise that the Server Core version doesn't have all of the features that are available in the standard install (they might be responsible for the problems).
Perhaps he misinterpreted what the article said.
I'm not in a position to dispute that info and since I don't use W2K8 Server, it doesn't bother me anyway.
I suspect that not having a GUI installed and using the CLI, is probably more reliable (less processes that can be attacked/corrupted).
Funny you should mention ATI drivers.
AVG reported that my ATI drivers (for my MB video) were Trojans.
Since I'm using my NVidia video card, I let AVG eliminate them.

7 Ultimate x64 SP1
|My System Specs
|07 Oct 2011
I was trying to bring to light the fact that OS consumption of resources has jumped very much so since the XP era, and I doubt security measures is the reason behind that. While I understand that XP was designed for 'dinosaur' systems, on the other hand... most people want their hardware's juice that they pay a pretty penny for to be used on games and applications, NOT to have the OS suck down 25% or more of each continuously. Something isn't right with that when compared to XP's considerably smaller 'footprint' than both Vista and 7. And I guess the main point is that if this is how it's going to continue, eventually we'll have to install 30gigs of ram and several CPU's just to get the damn OS to boot.
I guess the reality is, first, that your OS shouldn't be consuming more than 1% of CPU during normal usage - if it is, you have a problem to troubleshoot. Vista, Win7, and higher will *use* RAM as a cache to supplement/speed disk access, but only insofar as the user and his or her apps do not need that RAM (they are given back if that is the case). As to hardware specs, Windows 7 (and now Windows 8) have lower hardware specs than the "big jump" of Vista, and in fact Win8 will run on low-power, low performance ARM devices just fine.
I'm not sure I'd agree with you that the future of computing is 30GB of RAM anytime soon , but several CPUs are likely (having a lot of slower CPUs is much more preferable to having one fast one). Again, you must remember that a good deal of the codebase of XP is based on the original Windows NT (which was NT OS/2, even, before it got the "Windows" branding), which has it's root in the late 80s and (very) early 90s - and originally designed around the Intel i860. That codebase bloated (and ultimately became Windows Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, which Vista, Win7, and further OSes have been based on) with the additional security added in Windows XP SP2 - if you want to realize that most of the additional code in the OS kernel itself is security-related, go back and run Windows XP SP1 for awhile, and then install SP2 (you'll notice considerable performance differences). Microsoft has made considerable effort to strip Windows of all it's unnecessary interdependencies (minwin), and making the codebase smaller and more efficient - however, portability is still a design goal of the OS, so it'll never be "thrifty" due to what I mentioned before (time and cost).
Again, why bother paying for 8 CPUs and 4+GB of RAM if it's going unused? Even tablets and phones nowadays are multiple-CPU devices with 1+GB of RAM, mostly because doing such is getting to be cheap at scale.

Win7 Pro 32-bit, Win8 Pro 32-bit
It's great the way the Media is so quick to herald the end of anything Microsoft -- when XP stayed on for years ... and years ... and years.
And yes, I've loaded Win8 DP onto my Tablet PC -- but haven't seen anything yet that makes me want to take the jump into Win8 full-time, especially as my Tablet is an old one (XP days) and doesn't have touch support.
So, while I'll certainly try out the Beta (if they make it public), it's not likely I'll make the jump to Win8 unless they come up with some real "killer feature".
I'm guessing that most of the Win7 "power users" will feel much the same way.

Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1
I'm still perfectly content with Windows 7.
I had XP for years, skipped out on Vista entirely and was perfectly happy; so I'll probably stay with Windows 7 for quiet a while.
The one thing that would make me interested in Windows 8 is if it really can play Xbox 360 games as I've heard rumors of, since I find that absolutely fascinating, even if the Xbox 360 has no games that interest me.
So I'd probably get Windows 8 if I ever make a true gaming PC, and have Windows 7 on a separate partition.
|My System Specs
|18 Oct 2011
Given how specific Xbox360 hardware is, and the version of Windows it runs is also very customized, it'd probably be limited to ones built using XNA and submitted that way (thus only DirectX based and dependent), but even that might be a stretch I suspect.

Fireworks Safety is Overrated4 Jul 2016 / Paul Epps

How Is "Gun Control" Supposed to Work?14 Jun 2016 / Paul Epps
In Wake of Orlando Shooting, Obama, Others Call for Stricter Gun Laws — WSJ
Maybe we should have stricter laws against killing people. Oh we have strict laws against killing people?
Having laws against things doesn't stop them from happening. How are stricter gun laws going to stop mass shootings? How is that supposed to work? I was planning to shoot 100 people but I didn't want to do it with an illegally obtained gun. Because I might get in trouble with the law. It doesn't make any sense.
Making guns harder to buy or illegal or making certain kinds of guns illegal doesn't stop anyone from getting them. We have an "assault weapons" ban here in California. The rifles used by the San Bernardino shooters to kill or seriously injure 36 people are illegal in our state. If you're going to shoot 36 people, why do you care about gun laws?
The Orlando shooter had been the subject of two FBI investigations. How much stricter can you be with people? Purchasing a gun requires three FBI investigations?
I'd like to see fewer mass shootings but I don't understand how "gun control" is supposed to work. What am I missing?
EppsNet Restaurant Reviews: Pea Soup Andersen's18 Apr 2016 / Paul Epps
I've driven past Pea Soup Andersen's many times in my journeys from SoCal to NorCal and back . . . finally decided to give the split pea soup its day in court.
The waitress seemed to be always teetering on the edge of exasperation, at my table and at others as well. She said things like "Let's do this" instead of "Are you ready to order?" I don't know if surly waitresses are part of the Andersen ambiance or whether that was just the luck of the draw.
The soup was delicious though, served with bacon bits, croutons, diced ham, scallions and grated cheddar cheese, all on the side so you can customize the soup any way you like it.
Rating: . . . no deductions for the waitress as I feel she was within the normal bounds of surly coffee shop waitress comportment.
Feb. 5, 1917: Immigration Act Passed Over Wilson's Veto5 Feb 2016 / Paul Epps
On this date in 1917, Congress overrode President Woodrow Wilson's veto of the previous week and passed the Immigration Act of 1917, which, among other provisions, introduced a period of near complete exclusion of Asian immigration to the United States.
Not that life was a bed of roses for Asian immigrants before 1917. Asian laborers were sought out for demanding and dangerous railroad jobs involving explosives. The phrase "Chinaman's chance," meaning little to no chance at all, dates from this period. Asians were not allowed American citizenship and were frequent victims of hostility and violence with no legal recourse.
For example, in 1854, George W. Hall was convicted of murdering a Chinese man. On appeal to the State Supreme Court the decision was overturned because all of the evidence against him was from Chinese individuals.
According to the Supreme Court ruling, the Chinese "recogniz[ed] no laws … except through necessity, [brought] with them their prejudices and national feuds, in which they indulge[d] in open violation of law."
The court also noted that their "mendacity is proverbial; [that they were] a race of people whom nature has marked as inferior, and who are incapable of progress or intellectual development beyond a certain point … [and they would not be granted] the right to swear away the life of a citizen, … [or] the … privilege of participating with us in administering the affairs of our Government."
After the Immigration Act of 1917, existing Asian immigrants were excluded from employment by racial hostility and increasingly moved into self-employment as laundry workers, store and restaurant owners, traders and merchants. Chinese immigrants congregated in Chinatowns established in California and elsewhere.
Between 1942 and 1946, 110,000 to 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated in internment camps. About two-thirds of those interned were second- and third-generation citizens by birth.
Sixty-two years of Chinese exclusion ended in 1943 with the passage of the Magnuson Act, which allowed a quota of 105 persons to immigrate each year. Yes, that is the correct number — 105 Chinese immigrants per year. In 1946, the Luce–Celler Act provided for an annual quota of 100 immigrants per year from the Philippines and India.
Token immigration quotas remained in effect until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 abolished the quota system based on national origins.
In the last 50 years, Asians have risen to the top socio-economic levels of American society, proving once again that what happens to you is not nearly as important as how you react to it.
Asian-Americans seem to be focused on keeping their families together and making sure their kids get a good education, rather than peddling grievances about the past or even the present, e.g., Why are Asians not being nominated for Academy Awards? or Why has there never been an Asian president?
Occupational Certification a Guarantee of Quality?4 Nov 2015 / Paul Epps
I had fingerprints taken this morning, not the old-fashioned way with an inkpad but with a biometric device that required a certified technician to roll each of my fingers back and forth on a scanner.
I emphasize certified technician because California law requires any individual who rolls fingerprints manually or electronically for licensure, certification and/or employment purposes to be certified by the state Department of Justice. You can't just put any person off the street in charge of advanced optical technology.
Thanks to the use of an expensive machine vs. an inkpad and the certification requirements, the cost to me of having my fingerprints taken was about $70.
California is big on occupational certification. More than 200 professions from doctor to tree trimmer require certification from one of 42 government bureaus and boards. Does this elaborate and costly web of regulation assure the highest quality of professional service?
Each fingerprint took at least three attempts . . . the machine kept rejecting them due to poor quality and the technician had to re-roll them. One finger I believe required 10 repetitions.
God only knows how many tries it would have taken a non-certified person to complete the job.
God: "I Gave Him a Sign"30 Oct 2015 / Paul Epps
I hope I don't die some cartoonish death like skiing into a tree or being launched out of my car and flattened against a freeway sign. It's funny when it happens to other people though.
The only thing funnier would be if he'd left a spread-eagle person-shaped hole in the sign and then died when he hit a second sign.
When reached for comment, God said, "I gave him a sign."

Dogs in San Francisco7 Sep 2015 / Paul Epps
If you're a dog or a recently released felon, you are welcome in San Francisco. Not only are there lots of people walking in SF, there are lots of people walking with dogs. French Bulldogs, Huskies and Pomeranians seems to be especially popular.
Until he got too old to really enjoy it, I took Lightning to the Irvine dog park six days a week (it's closed on Wednesdays) for years. I've spent a lot of time around dogs, so I'm better than most people at identifying dog breeds.
We were walking in San Francisco last weekend when my wife pointed and asked "What kind of dog is that?" Before I could say "It's a Labradoodle," our boy said "Labradoodle."
I must have been visibly stunned because he then asked me "Were you going to say 'Goldendoodle'?"
"No . . . you're pretty good at identifying dogs now." This is a totally new talent. When he left Irvine, I'm not sure he could tell a dog from a squirrel . . .
Walking in San Francisco6 Sep 2015 / Paul Epps
Our boy is working and living in San Francisco now, We went to visit him last weekend . . .
It's hard to drive and park in SF so a lot of people walk to where they need to go. Our hotel was a few blocks from the boy's apartment but for the most part, we left the car in the parking garage and walked everywhere.
On a couple of occasions, we met one of his co-workers walking past us in the other direction. (His office is nearby, 7-8 blocks from his apartment, but it's a startup, not a huge company like Transamerica with lots of employees.) On another occasion, we met a couple of his college classmates from Cal sitting near us at a local eatery. This is not to mention the friends, classmates and co-workers that we planned to meet up with because they also live in the vicinity.
I've lived in Irvine and worked in town or nearby for 15 years and I never see anyone I know walking around the city, probably because I don't walk around the city and neither does anyone else. Well, I take that back . . . on weekend mornings I usually walk about a mile to Starbucks for coffee. The average number of people I meet on those walks is approximately 0.0.
But even when we go to restaurants. movies, stores, public events, etc., I very rarely see anyone I know. Very rarely.
It's funny that a big, international city like San Francisco feels more like a neighborhood than does a typical suburban community . . .

Teaching Computer Science: Incentives (or Lack Thereof)22 Mar 2015 / Paul Epps
According to this article on TechCrunch, "Every California high school must establish computer science courses as part of its core curriculum." From the same article: "Most California teachers have little or no training to teach computer science."
Do you see the problem there?
I've been a programmer for many years . . . I'd be glad to teach computer science to students, teachers or anyone who wants to learn it if there were even a modest incentive to do so. Which there isn't.
One way to measure how much people want something is how much they're willing to pay for it. There's no shortage of people talking about teaching programming and computer science, which is free (the talking, that is), but without the incentives ($$$) very little is going to actually happen.

I'm in Semi-Solidarity with the Protestors26 Nov 2014 / Paul Epps
I support the UC Berkeley students protesting tuition hikes but maybe with a little less conviction than I used to because my kid is a senior and no matter how high tuition goes I won't be paying it anymore so I hope the boy was in class yesterday and not out causing a disturbance . . .
More People I'm Sick Unto Death Of6 Jul 2014 / Paul Epps
The worst thing you can do to people, aside from physical injury, is give them the idea to blame their failures on vague impersonal forces or the actions of anybody but themselves. It doesn't promote success or happiness. I don't know any happy people who think like that.
For example, I read this in a New York Times article about an impoverished area of West Virginia:
John got caught up in the dark undertow of drugs that defines life for so many here in McDowell County.
That is just awful. I live in Southern California, not too far from the ocean . . . I'm familiar with undertows (although I've never heard of a "dark" undertow). First of all, sorry to be pedantic but undertows aren't dangerous . . . they're just after-effects of individual waves. What's dangerous is a riptide . . . a concentrated flow of water that can jet you offshore in a matter of seconds.
Maybe John got caught in a riptide of drugs.
Some beaches post signs warning swimmers of riptides on high-risk days, but in general, getting caught in a riptide is an unfortunate but unavoidable event. Drug abuse is optional. It's a decision you make about your life.
(I'm assuming here that no one sticks a funnel in your mouth and pours drugs into it against your will . . .)
I Am Disenfranchising Myself1 Jun 2014 / Paul Epps
I was looking over my vote-by-mail ballot for the California election . . . there's not one person on there I would trust to represent my interests above their own. It's like voting on which gang of thieves will be allowed to break into my home and rob me.
In previous elections, I've usually voted for all the Republican candidates because I dislike 99 percent of Democratic programs, whereas I only dislike 95 percent of Republican programs. Not much of a choice.
This year, I ripped up the ballot and threw it in the trash.

Good Riddance to the West Antarctic Ice Sheet12 May 2014 / Paul Epps
Two teams of scientists say the long-feared collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has begun, kicking off what they say will be a centuries-long, "unstoppable" process that could raise sea levels by as much as 15 feet.
I'm trying to think what the big deal is here. The Southern California city I live in, which is currently 12 miles from the coast and 70 feet above sea level, will, in 500 to 1,000 years, be only 55 feet above sea level.
My favorite beachfront restaurants and hangouts will no longer be standing, but they wouldn't have been anyway.

Railway Wuhan – Guangzhou : Geo&Tex 2000 nonwovens are tested by the Chinese High Speed Railway Authority (1/8/2007)
At the beginning of August a full container of nonwovens manufactured by Geo&Tex 2000 has been shipped with destination Wuhan – China.
GEO PP AG is going to be tested by the chines department for High Speed Railways dedicated to passanger transport.
In order to comply with new infrastructures demand, last autumn the Chinese government has approved a quite ambitious project regarding the building within year 2010 of 17.000 km of new railways , included 7000 km of high speed railways, especially designed for transport of passengers, achieving the commercial speed of 250 km/h ; some 5457 km will be able to support a speed over 300 km/h .-
Within such a design, by next 2010 the double track Wuhan – Guangzhou will be inaugurated : it means 980 km of railway line in the southern east of China .
From September to the end 2007 a trial railway of 2 x 10 km will be performed.
Most part of railways will be executed using the ballastless track system, which is patented by a European company.
The most important function of geotextile is to reduce as much as possible the interaction effects between platform and foundation underneath, preventing the deterioration of slabs on the contact surface.
The nonwoven geotextile has been choosen in order to allow also the drainage on sides of leakages coming from concrete cracking, so that to prevent any accelerated degradation of structure as consequence of overload by dynamic charges.
The ballastless structure has been already successfully adopted in different Countries in Europe ; i.e. in the Netherlands – between 2003 and 2005 – was built HSL Zuid linking Amsterdam to Brussels.
A good reference for the Chinese authority about for GEO PP AG : in Netherlands the geotextile was installed as flexible interlayer, between platform and the foundation below.
The sequence of construction phases consists in laying down the geotextile just on top of foundations, in positioning rails and sleepers, followed by slab casting .
The dutch pool of Companies responsible for project execution has built 163 km of railway, installing some 110 km of GEO PP AG nonwoven geotextile.

Dilwale, starring the super jodi Kajol and SRK, was one of the big hits of Bollywood last year. We also saw the new pair Kriti Sanon and Varun Dhawan in the movie. Dilwale entertained people as promised by the promos. And King Khan once again got the super Khan title.
Audiences were happy to see the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge jodi back together and undoubtedly, many only went to see the duo. Also, the movie gave a few dancing tracks to get drunk on, the next time.
Having talked about the movie Dilwale, have you been paying attention to Kajol lately? From uni-brows to her overgrown eyebrows, we have seen phases of Kajol and now this new all new phase of Kajol when she has become this lovely dove, and we cannot take our eyes off from her.
And in the movie Dilwale, she has looked even more beautiful. Is it the neat eyebrows? Or the hair colour? We cannot conclude anything. Having said that, the movie was a hit and we all are aware of it but the outfits were no different.
The apparel choices in the songs were ardently innovative and stylish. If you have paid a close look to the outfits, you'd know what we are talking about. Today, in this piece, we have decided to talk about the quirky fashion bits of the movie Dilwale.
The White Skirt
Here, Kajol taught us that a simple solid coloured tee could be matched very well with a printed skirt. So girls, next time you are going out to pick a skirt you know what you have to match it with.
The Leather Jacket
Couples, are you reading this? Or one of them? If you have a fetish for a matching couple outfits, you might want to follow SRK and Kajol's lead.
The Denim Shirt
Again, Kajol has taught us one more fashion lesson here. Match your denim shirts with printed skirts and add a belt. Things will work out quite alright.
White Dungarees
Kriti here is letting us know that dungarees are never out of fashion. Although, we believe so. White dungarees matched with a striped tee is the best pair.
We hope you had fun reading about Dilwale fashion. In case, we have missed out on anything, let us know by commenting below.

Golden girls
By NANCY ARMOUR
Associated Press
LONDON — One by one, the Americans thundered down the runway, soared high above the vault and slammed into the mat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the fireworks were over, so was everybody else's chance for the gold medal.
The Americans lived up to their considerable hype and then some Tuesday night, routing silver medalist Russia and everybody else on their way to their first Olympic title in women's gymnastics since 1996. Their score of 183.596 was a whopping five points better than Russia's, and set off a debate over whether this is the best U.S. team of all time. Romania won the bronze.
"Others might disagree. The '96 team might disagree. But this is the best team," U.S. coach John Geddert said.
The Americans didn't botch a single routine, and all but three of their 12 scores were 15.0 or higher. The Russians, on the other hand, had just one score above 15 in their last two events as they unraveled down the stretch. They sat on the sidelines sniffling and watching glumly as the Americans turned their final event, floor exercise, into a coronation.
When the final standings flashed, chants of "U-S-A! U-S-A!" rocked the arena, and the U.S. women, who backed up to get a better view of the scoreboard, held up their index fingers for the cameras — in case anyone had a doubt.
"The feeling was incredible," world champion Jordyn Wieber said. "To have this gold medal around your neck, it's really an indescribable feeling."
The Americans had come into the last two Olympics as world champions, only to leave without the gold. But national team coordinator Martha Karolyi recognized six months ago that this was a special group, stronger than previous U.S. teams.
It's not just the titles these Americans have won, though there are plenty: last year's team gold at the world championships, along with Wieber's all-around crown and McKayla Maroney's title on vault. It's their fierce competitiveness, and the unshakable faith they have in themselves. Rather than flinching under the weight of the heavy expectations, it made them stronger. When they noticed the Russians and Romanians peeking in on their training sessions, they cranked up the oomph in their routines, the better to intimidate.
Even Wieber's failure to qualify for the all-around final, which left her teammates stunned following Sunday's sessions, turned out to be a minor speedbump.
"I told them just believe in yourself," Maroney said. "Live up to that Olympic moment, because you're never, ever going to forget it."
Unforgettable, like their performance.
The Americans opened on vault, their strongest event, unleashing a barrage right that let the Russians know in no uncertain terms that they — and everyone else — would be playing for silver.
"They're just so far ahead of anyone else," Britain's Rebecca Tunney said.
All of the Americans do the high-difficulty, high-scoring Amanar — a roundoff onto the takeoff board, back handspring onto the table and 2.5 twisting somersaults before landing. It's got a start value — the measure of difficulty — of 6.5, a whopping 0.7 above the vault most other gymnasts do, and they ripped off one massive one after another.
Going first, Wieber did perhaps the best one she's ever done, getting great height in the air, her legs locked together.
Gabby Douglas went next, and her vault was even better. Then came Maroney, who may as well claim her Olympic vault gold now. She got so much height on her Amanar it's a wonder she didn't bump her head on the overhead camera. She hit the mat with tremendous force yet didn't so much as wiggle, triumphantly thrusting her arms in the air as she saluted the judges.
The Americans strutted out of the event with a 1.7-point lead, and never looked back.
"We definitely started the competition with a bang," Maroney said.
Russia erased all but four-tenths of the deficit on uneven bars, where Viktoria Komova and Aliya Mustafina defy the laws of gravity. But the Americans threw down another challenge on balance beam, making the 4-inch slab that stands 4 feet in the air look like child's play. Kyla Ross, the only American who wasn't on that world team last year (she was too young), performed like a ballerina with her long legs and gorgeous lines. She landed one somersault with her left foot curled over the edge of the beam, yet never flinched.
Douglas has struggled on balance beam all summer, with a fall the second day of the U.S. championships costing her the title. But she has been clutch in London, delivering the highest score in qualifying and again Tuesday night. She whipped off a series of backflips as if she was still on the ground, a look of intense concentration on her face. She had a small balance check on a leap, swaying slightly and waving her arms to steady herself, but it was a minor error.
Aly Raisman wasn't her usual steady self, wobbling on a somersault and taking a step back on her dismount. But it hardly mattered because the Russians, following the U.S. on beam, were about to implode.
Mustafina swayed and wobbled so badly on the landing of a leap it's a wonder she didn't fall off. Komova almost stepped on the judges on her dismount. The grim mood darkened even further on floor exercise, where Anastasia Grishina stumbled on one pass and botched another when she all but came to a dead stop in the middle of the floor. World champion Ksenia Afanaseva finished the night by landing her dismount on her knees.
"We did everything we could," Komova said.
The Americans swore they weren't watching the scoreboard, but there sure seemed to be some extra sparkle in their final three routines.
Wieber's bright smile widened as she danced and tumbled, the crowd clapping in time to her techno pop music. Fans the world over will be humming the "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo" from the start of Douglas' music and little girls are sure to be bouncing in their backyards trying to get as high as she does on her leaps. Raisman closed it out with a rollicking routine to "Hava Nagila," soaring high on her tumbling passes and sticking a landing with a cement-like firmness.
Coach Mihai Brestyan was jumping up and down as Raisman finished, the tears already starting to fall. They gave way to shrieks of joy as she collapsed into her teammates' arms.
"We knew we could do it," Raisman said. "We just had to pull out all the stops."
Now they need a catchy nickname, something like "The Magnificent Seven" from 1996.
"I like Fierce Five," Maroney said. "Because we are definitely the fiercest team out there."
And they've got gold to prove it.
Former University of Hawaii star Clay Stanley scored 16 points and the U.S. men's team improved to 2-0 in preliminary pool play with a three-set victory over Germany.

Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Love scored 16 points apiece to lead Team USA to a 110-63 victory. Kevin Durant added 13 and Anthony Davis had 12 for the Americans, who will face Nigeria on Thursday night.

A growing family expands their 2 bedroom home to accommodate their two daughters and remain in their neighborhood.
We created a dramatic cantilevered addition that directs views from the house into the gardens of the backyard, instead of up at their neighbor's windows. Window shapes and arrangement, siding profiles and roof trim create a clear differentiation between old and new, while consistent paint color and a new metal roof knits the project together as one.
Renovation of a 1850's greek revival Cape.
In Town

(PRWEB) June 05, 2013
PROINSO – leading supplier of solar PV products – and ALECOP – firm specialising in the design, development and start-up of learning solutions in the field of technology – have signed an agreement to provide new e-learning courses to be included in the PROINSO SOLAR TRAINING SCHOOL international training programme for installers of solar PV applications.
Under this agreement, PROINSO will offer a value-added service to the 2,360 Qualified Installers in its International Network, who, from any region in the world, will be able to benefit from online training for a large part of contents in the company's training programme. Since the Qualified Installers in the International Network are based in 70 different countries in all five continents, the new e-learning platform by PROINSO will be very useful to them.
"The PROINSO SOLAR TRAINING SCHOOL offers updated training based on professional experience from leading companies in this industry, giving installers access to lifelong learning. The e-learning platform is a new service we are offering to our Qualified Installers. This way, we can bring our training programme to the more distant points on Earth, which is good for both the installers and us, because we can be sure they get updated information on the latest PV solar products and technologies," said PROINSO Marketing Manager Teresa Marticorena.
The initial courses to be offered by PROINSO on its online platform will last 20 to 60 hours. The courses are:
- Solar PV installation project development (60 hours – online)
- Solar PV installations (60 hours – online)
- Calculations for free-standing PVSE installations (20 hours – online/on site)
- Design of solar PV installations (40 hours – online)
- Installations for self-consumption net-metering power solutions (40 hours – online)
To access the learning platform, installers will have to visit http://proinso.icteduca.com, which features additional contents.
Initially, the courses will be available in Spanish, targeted at installers based in Spain or Central and South America. It is worth mentioning that these are American markets with an interesting potential, because the solar PV industry is expected to develop considerably and it will require skilled installers. In later stages, courses will be available in English as well.
Currently, at the company they are considering the possibility of adding new contents, involving subjects such as energy efficiency and sustainability, or aspects of thermal, mini wind or mini hydraulic energy.
Qualified Installers will get a diploma certifying that they completed the courses and are qualified in the areas under study. Additionally, the training programmes will earn them points that can be redeemed with the PROINSO PLUS loyalty programme (http://itplus.proinso.net).
PROINSO SOLAR Training School
For two years now, the PROINSO SOLAR TRAINING SCHOOL has been developing and structuring a large portfolio of learning programmes focusing on aspects of renewable energy, especially PV solar energy.
The programme relies on cooperation agreements with leading training centres that have run PV solar courses for years in Italy (ICIM), England (EcoSkies), Greece (OIKONOMOTEXNIKH), France (Lycée Eugène MONTEL), Canada (Canadian Solar Institute, CSI), USA (Solar Energy International, SEI), Mexico (Kanndas Institut) and Spain (CEFOIM). PROINSO collaborates with them in the design of comprehensive courses and contents for solar PV installers and provides specialised technical materials. All the training centres PROINSO works with deliver official courses complying with national regulations in their countries.
In addition, the PROINSO SOLAR TRAINING SCHOOL organises seminars and workshops together with leading manufacturers in different countries. The seminars are conducted by professionals at PROINSO, manufacturing companies or businesses in the Network of Qualified Installers, who explain the latest innovations and new technologies.
With all these initiatives, PROINSO is offering a means to improve professional qualification in line with the needs of the International Network of Qualified Installers. //

Yesterday we told you about Marilyn Hartman, a 63 year old woman who was released from Cook County Jail late in the afternoon Thursday after serving two months for trying to get past security at O'Hare and Midway airports in April and May. She had previously boarded a Southwest Airlines flight last year without a ticket.
When she was released she said she was "free as a bird" but on Friday evening, she boarded a plane at Midway with a valid ticket, but police say she caused a disturbance and was escorted off the plane by police, according to Officer Jose Estrada, a spokesman for the Chicago police department.
Hartman was charged with reckless conduct, a misdemeanor, and later released from custody, Estrada said. She's learned how to buy a ticket, now she just needs to learn how to act.
Ada "Airport" Quonsett Incarnate ?
In 1970, Helen Hayes won an Academy Award as "Best Supporting Actress" for this performance in "Airport" as a very persistent stowaway on Trans Global Airlines. Maybe there are brighter days ahead for Ms. Harman!

can i access nba.tv on apple tv Canada?
I have access to MLB and NHL on my apple TV home screen, but not NBA. We purchased the apple TV for the purpose of watching the NBA games through an NBA Gametime subscription (which we would purchase), but it is not available on our TV. We have checked for software updates and everything is up to date. I was told that it is possible that my internet service provider is blocking the NBA.tv app from my apple TV.....maybe this is accurate. Any suggestions??

The swelling ranks of high-end hospitality offerings, alongside improved infrastructure and expanding flight connections into the country, have made the Cambodian luxury tourism market ripe for growth according to TTG Asia.
Upcoming hotel openings include the 175-room Rosewood Phnom Penh in January and private-island retreats Six Senses Koh Krabey and Alila Villas Koh Russey in mid-2017, followed by Shangri-La, Okura Prestige and Hyatt Regency in the Cambodian capital over the next few years.
Travel bosses are expecting the entry of these upscale properties will expand the luxury travel sector beyond the Siem Reap core to other parts of the country and make Cambodia more appealing as a standalone destination with higher hospitality standards.

Paint Party: Expressionist Painting, Pollock-Style
It's the end of another Paint Party year and we will be taking all the leftover paint we've got in the utility room at the studio to create Jackson Pollock-esque paintings of our own. If you've got leftover house paint that you'd like to bring as well, please feel free. It's gonna get messy and fun! We'll have plenty of drying stations, mixing stations, extra tables, and paper to practice our brush flicking techniques.Find out more »
