USA to Face Czech Republic in World Championship Gold Medal Game

October 2, 2010 - 6:14pm

Both Team USA and the hosting Czech Republic advanced to Sunday's gold-medal game of the 2010 Women's World Championships with semifinal wins Saturday.

One team got there the easy way; the other team took a more difficult path. Czech Republic rode the wave of hometown support, scrapping back and forth with Belarus in an extremely tight game. A Czech ballhandling error, followed by a foul, late in the fourth quarter tied the game at 68 apiece at the final buzzer and send it into extra minutes.

The Czechs outscored Belarus 13-9 in overtime to take the 81-77 win and advance to the gold medal game for the first time in history.

In contrast, Team USA romped to a 106-70 win over a Spanish team that was playing without star center Sancho Lyttle, who was taken to the hospital last night after injuring her back in the third quarter of Spain's overtime win over France. Whether she can play in Sunday's bronze medal match remains a game-time decision.

Team captain Amaya Valdemoro, the hero of the win over France, saw limited minutes in Saturday's semifinal game due to "fatigue." The clear inference from Spanish Coach Jose Hernandez is that once he saw the U.S. get off to such a strong start (29-16 in the first quarter alone), he opted to rest his key players for tomorrow's medal game, a game he felt he had at least some chance of winning.

In Saturday's other action, Australia beat Russia, 78-73, in a heated battle that might just have been one of the best basketball games of the tournament. France defeated Korea, 61-46, in a defensive grinder that was hard for anyone other than the most dedicated of Les Bleues fans to watch.

Finally, Brazil established a ninth-place world ranking with a closer-than-expected, 84-79, win over Japan, who dropped to 10th place. Greece defeated Canada, 71-55, to take an 11th-place world ranking, while Canada finishes in 12th-place, no small achievement, since Canada has even qualified for the World Championships only in recent years.

What all that means is that the Czech Republic will square off against Team USA in the gold-medal game Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, 8:00 p.m. local time in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. Expect a packed house of highly partisan Czech supporters.

The bronze-medal game between Spain and Belarus will tip off at 12:30 p.m. Eastern, 5:30 p.m. local. Belarus holds the edge if Lyttle is unable to play, but if she can suit up at anywhere close to her potential, expect a first-class duel between Lyttle and Atlanta Dream understudy, Yelena Leuchanka.

For the die-hard basketball fan who enjoys rising early on Sundays, FIBA will wrap up its classification rounds starting at 6:00 a.m. Eastern, 12:00 noon local, with Korea taking on Russia for the world's seventh and eighth-place rankings. Prediction: A Russian rout!

That game will be followed at 8:45 a.m. Eastern, 2:45 p.m. local, by Australia and France vying for fifth and sixth place. France is a solid team, and fought the Aussies close in the preliminary rounds, but Friday's loss to the Czechs has put new fire in the Opals' bellies.

We are currently experiencing technical problems with the wireless internet connection in Karlovy Vary that prevents our uploading heavy photo files at this time. (Note that it is currently nearly 1:00 a.m. on Sunday in the Czech Republic, rendering it difficult, to say the least, to obtain the services of an IT technician.)

Please check back later for further details on today's semifinal action, as well as photos from the day's main events. If we are unable to resolve the problem before game-time Sunday, we will make every effort to roll semifinal photos and coverage into our coverage of the bronze and gold-medal games.

Drapery Cleaning

Many overlook the cleaning of drapes & curtains. During Spring & Fall cleaning, you may clean your entire house but not include curtains & drapes because they appear clean, even when they have been hanging for years.

Window treatments act as filters to collect all sorts of dust & dirt. When your windows are open, they act as a filter for the natural flow of air through your home collecting pollen, mold spores, vehicle exhaust gases and dirt and dust which can add to the air pollution of your home plus affect the overall well-being of your family.

Ayoub N&H Carpet & Rugs is here to help restore the original beauty of your window treatments, which can play an important role in the health & appearance of your home.

Ayoub N&H cleans: lined and unlined drapes • sheers • silk drapes • valances • roman shades/drapes • all fabric drapes

Drop them off / pick them up at our Kensington location, or we provide take-down and re-hanging of drapes in your home for an additional charge.

Installous Alternative services as Hackulous closed its doors

By -

If you are searching for some of the reliable Installous alternative services, because the other day Hackulous had decided to break down the access to one of thee best iOS Pirated/Privacy app service Installous. It might be one of the shocking news for users and fans of Installous out there. Installous is proved to be best service for downloading the crazked/pirated applications for our iDevices. Even, I was bit shocked after reading the update on twitter that Hackulo.us has decided to call it a day which certainly makes the users to search for Installous Alternative services in order to download and install IPA files anymore. The reason for shutting down is not announced, but still there are few major blows like strengthening of piracy act, increase in competition, compatibility issues with iOS 6 and many more.

Over past few months, many users have started searching for best alternative to installous, as I read from few online sources, as they they experienced many issues like invalid IPA, API errors that aren’t available, many unfixed bugs and many more which reduced their market share to a fair bit and other services like AppCake, Zeusmos, etc., have been considered as better alternative for it and not to forget all this got started with iOS 6.

Articles Related to Installous Alternative Services

Best Installous Alternative Services you can try

#1. AppCake+

  • AppCake
    If you are searching for a specific service that carries almost all essential features of Installous, AppCake+ is one of the promising alternative out there.
  • Most of the cracked app services use AppSync to download and install IPA files and for AppCake+ you just don’t need to rely on anything.
  • Installous always tend to force users to wait for long-time, annoying Captchas, unavailable API errors, invalid IPA, and many more which are obviously considered as benefactors of AppCake+, which cracks all these annoyances aside and provides best experience for users.
  • AppCake+ is my first choice among many other Installous Alternative services available.

How to install AppCake+ on your iDevice.

  1. Jailbreak your device first.
  2. Launch Cydia.
  3. Add sinfuliphonerepo.com to Repo.
  4.  Search and Install AppCake+.

  • You need to have AppSync on your device in order to make use 100% from this application. It does everything as Installous does. The developers at vShare are as professional as Installous community. It is one of the best Installous alternative services that are available for you.

How to Install vShare on your iDevice

  • Its pretty user friendly service, allowing us to download IPA files just by directly searching from the it or from somewhere else and make sure that it is not a phone specific application.
  • If you are vexed with puzzles that Installous keeps on buzzing with compatibility issues of iOS 6, then i-Funbox makes your life really easy as it’s really great service to use.

Someother Installous Alternative service like Apptrackr, IPA Search which have potential to replace it and enables you to use cracked applications on your Jailbroken iPhone.

Courses prepare for worst scenario

Firefighters from area use weekend to train

POSTED: May 30, 2008 5:01 a.m.

Firefighters approach a burning propane tank while extinguishing the blaze during Sunday's Regional Training Weekend.

View Larger
View More »

The firefighters of Georgia were hard at work Sunday, training for dire circumstances when they may have to save themselves and others.

The Hall County Fire Services along with the Georgia Fire Academy held its very first Regional Training Weekend, which ended Sunday at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center.

The training weekend, which hosted firefighters from all over Georgia, involved classroom time and real life demonstrations of what being a firefighter is all about — saving lives and putting out fires.

The firefighters took shots at the Firefighter Safety and Survival course and the Pressurized Container Fires course, both of which were supervised and demonstrated by training officers from Hall County Fire Services.

For the safety and survival course, firefighters practiced "bailing out" techniques with a rope, hose and ladder. The process involves exiting a building via a small window and scaling an exterior wall.

Each firefighter also wore all his or her gear, which weighs about 50 pounds, said Skip Heflin, training officer for Hall County.

The bailing out techniques were practiced from windows ranging from 20 to 30 feet off the ground. Firefighters were attached to a belay, which served as a bungee in case they fell during the trial.

Attention to detail, timing and technique played a vital role in each drill.

"The first time you do it, it’s a little different, but the more you do it, the more you know," said Ted Jarrard, firefighter for Hall County.

The hose bail out involved a firefighter escaping a building through a window and sliding to safety down a fire hose. The hose is tied off to a railing. Without securing the hose, it would fall to the ground.

Jarrard said that leg strength and a controlled descent is key for this type of drill.

"It’s impossible if you use your hands only ... sliding down too fast is just another way to get hurt," Jarrard said.

"That one was pretty tough. You think you can just grab it with your hands, but that doesn’t happen," said John Moore of Hall County Fire Services.

Another drill involved firefighters — in full gear, including an oxygen tank — escaping through a 16-by-24 inch or 16-by-16 inch hole in a fiber rock.

Because the wall was fiber rock, firefighters had to cut the hole rather than punch through.

"You have to breathe out so there’s no air in your lungs, and then wiggle, and then take a breath, and then wiggle and breath back out," said Mack Palmer, firefighter for Habersham County.

For the Pressurized Container Fires course, a group of firefighters used a smooth board nozzle hose, which weighs about 62 pounds per 50-foot section, to put out a fire from a large pressurized tank.

The tank was pumped with gas and then ignited, causing it to sporadically shoot gas and large flames into the air.

Firefighters took their time approaching the tank while spraying it with the hose to cool it. As they got close enough, they used the pressure from the hose to cause the flames to shoot to the left, while a valve man turned off the gas.

The fuel for the drill was donated by Blossman Gas.

"Without the commitment and support from taxpayers and our fire chief, this would be impossible," Heflin said.

Regional training weekends are not mandated by the state, which makes holding them all the more important.

"If you put out fires, you have a dangerous job. That’s why we have weekends like this, to show them how to be as safe as possible while doing a dangerous job," said Scott Cagle, fire marshal of Hall County Fire Services.

Cagle and Heflin both oversaw the courses along with David Kimbrell and other fire officials. Heflin created the course with Josh Moreno, training officer for Hall County.

Joe , how wonderful for you it is done and finished - that was quick.!

Nan , Ana - i just found out about the opening yesterday , so i go to look at and approve the unit on the 28th - i explained i needed to talk with my present landlord also , so it may be the middle of next month before i actually start taking stuff over .
The present person is still there , and then they have to clean it and stuff.
Plus it takes a bit to switch over utilities and internet here, so i'm guessing not before the middle ,possibly later next month.
But it will be nice being so close to Mom ,at her age .Plus my nephew's family ,and my son are on the other side of town !
On a lighter note ,I went to the store today , and the cashier thought i cut myself , because i had red ink all over my face...had it on my fingers from an art project , and must have touched my face without knowing -looked odd , to say the least !
Well , see you all later ! Stay warm ,and be happy !

As summer winds down, PlayStation Plus is heating up with four new free titles for PlayStation 3 and two for Vita. Things kick off with Hitman: Absolution tomorrow.

The rest of August brings an assortment of titles in a variety of genres. In addition to IO Interactive's latest installment of Agent 47's story, the following titles will be available later in the month:

Additionally, there are some solid discounts for a number of Rayman titles.

Title (Regular Price, Discounted Price, PlayStation Plus Price)

  • Rayman Origins ($19.99, $9.99, $5.00)
  • Rayman 3 HD ($9.99, $4.99, $2.50)
  • Rayman Origins PS Vita ($26.99, $13.49, $6.75)
  • Rayman Arena ($9.99, $4.99, $2.50)
  • Rayman 2 Revolution ($9.99, $4.99, $2.50)
  • Rayman 2: The Great Escape ($5.99, $2.99, $1.50)
  • Rayman ($5.99, $2.99, $1.50)

[Source: PlayStation Blog]

Our Take
PlayStation Plus continues to be a fantastic value, and this month's Instant Collection offerings are fantastic. The Rayman discounts are equally impressive (though it's odd that the Vita version of Origins is still more expensive than the PS3 edition). All of that is to say that you should play Rayman Origins however you can manage it. It's that good.

Talkback: Growing asparagus

Posted: 17/05/2012 at 15:02

Hello AdamColeman,

I recently inherited a veg plot with asparagus in the wrong place too. In my case it's too near the middle of the plot, so that when it grows up high, it obscures the plants beyond it from view. I was considering starting a new bed in a different position. As Pippa says, it takes a while to establish, but maybe you could continue to harvest from your old plants for the first years?

Enjoy it!

Hello burhinus,

I agree with you about the 'furry back taste' with nettles. I do think it would put some people off, but try to ignore it myself! The smell of them is lovely though - just like spinach.They're both supposed to contain a lot of iron so I suppose that's why they smell similar.

Lettuce seedlings can be delicate, so the old method of sowing them in guttering works well by causing minimal root disturbance. Also have a look at Monty and Chris Beardshaw sowing seeds in the greenhouse. Don't give up yet!

I have some tall pot holders that look nice but are too tall for the shallow pots of herbs I put inside them. I use old corks in the bottom of the pot holders to hold the shallow pots up. Corks work well because they have natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. And while we're on the subject, that's a very good reason for preserving natural cork oak forests.

The Best Tomato Mulches

Growing during the heat of summer, tomatoes can lose out to weeds in a competition for water and nutrients. By putting down a mulch in the tomato patch, you'll reduce the growth of weeds and remove the competition. The mulch will also keep the soil evenly moist, which tomatoes also love, and they will reward you with an abundant crop.

Wood Chips

Performing well overall, wood chips effectively control weeds and retain moisture in the soil. This results in healthy, productive plants that are less susceptible to pests and disease. Put down a 3- to 6-inch layer of wood chips for the most effective weed control. Pull them away from the main stem of the plant so the wood chips do not touch it, to keep slugs from taking up residence there. Many large cities provide wood chips culled from their urban forests free for the taking.

Grass Clippings

Free from your own lawn, grass clippings are an excellent mulch for tomatoes. Although it will take several mowings of an average-sized urban yard to collect enough clippings for an 8-by-8 foot garden plot, they should be laid down to a depth of at least 2 inches. At this depth they will control weeds very well and keep the soil evenly moist.

Black Plastic

Widely used by home gardeners, black plastic mulch is very effective in moderating the soil temperature and stopping the growth of weeds. Because it is impermeable, water can form puddles on the surface and can only enter the soil through the planting hole near the base of the plants. Tomato plants grow well under black plastic mulch, but may not produce an abundance of tomatoes, according to the University of North Dakota Extension.

Hay or Straw

Available at larger garden supply centers, hay or straw makes a very efficient mulch for tomato plants. Their golden color reflects sunlight, which gives the tomatoes an added growth boost. Put down at least a 4-inch layer of hay or straw to keep soil temperatures cool and greatly reduce weeds. Any weeds that do grow through this mulch will be weak and easily pulled out. At the end of the growing season, turn over the top layer of soil, incorporating the straw, after removing the spent tomato plants. The mulch will further decompose over the winter months and improve the soil in your vegetable bed.

Keywords: best tomato mulches, mulch for tomatoes, grow mulched tomatoes

Spider Flower Fast Facts

Spider Flower Fast Facts image by thisisbossi/Flickr, Carl E. Lewis/Flickr
Spider Flower Fast Facts image by thisisbossi/Flickr, Carl E. Lewis/Flickr

Spider flowers (Cleome hassleriana) are old-fashioned annuals with unusual blooms of white, pink, rose or lavender. The long stamens and clawed petals of the flowers resemble spiders, giving the plant its common name.

Spider flowers are large, sturdy plants, ranging from 3 to 6 feet tall and 1 1/2 to 3 feet wide. The fragrant flowers are 1 to 2 inches across with stamens of 2 to 3 inches. The palmate leaves have five to seven leaflets.

Pink spider flower

Spider flowers are native to South America. They grow fast and have stout taproots that anchor the plants so they do not need staking. The flowers bloom from the lower end of the stem to the top, and are followed by slender seed pods.

The Queen series of spider flowers are large plants, up to 5 feet tall, with pink or rose flowers. The Sparkler series is smaller, only 3 feet tall, with flowers of white, rose or pink.

Growing Conditions

Spider flowers prefer full sun but will grow in any type of soil. Once established, spider flowers are heat- and drought-tolerant. In Zones 4 to 7, spider flowers are treated as tender annuals. They are annuals in Zones 8 to 11, but reseed easily.

Pests and Diseases

Spider flowers are fairly trouble-free. They may be affected by fungal spots or mildews. Aphids, spider mites or whiteflies may damage the leaves and flowers.

Press Release

Dubai, March 6, 2013 View All Press Releases

Gartner Says Government IT Spending In the Middle East & Africa To Reach US $17.7 Billion In 2013

Telecommunications Segment to Be the Leading Growth Segment This Year

Analysts Examine Key Trends And Issues Facing The IT Industry At Gartner Symposium/ITxpo Dubai, March 5-7, 2013

The government sector in the Middle East and Africa will spend US $17.7 billion on IT products and services in 2013, an increase of 2.3 percent over 2012 revenue of US $17.3 billion, according to Gartner, Inc. This forecast includes internal IT (including personnel), hardware, software, external IT services and telecommunications. Government comprises local and regional government and national and international government.

Telecommunications, which includes telecommunications and networking equipment and services, will remain the largest overall spending category throughout the forecast period within the government sector. It is expected to grow 4.54 percent in 2013 to reach US $9.5 billion in 2013, up from US $9.1 billion in 2012 – led by growth in mobile devices and enterprise communication equipment. The software market will achieve the next highest growth rate amongst the spending categories – forecast to be 4.53 percent in 2013 to reach US $1.4 billion in 2013, led by growth in the enterprise application software (which includes enterprise resource planning (ERP), office suites and content, communications and collaboration amongst others). The software segment includes enterprise application software, infrastructure software and vertical specific software.

”UAE, Qatar and Bahrain lead the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) adoption of eGovernment programs and will now focus efforts to electronically link up departments and offer a single interface point for citizens to connect with government agencies,” said Anurag Gupta, research director at Gartner.

“Saudi Arabia is the largest GCC member, and its second eGovernment action plan will leverage public private partnership contracts and framework agreements,” Mr. Gupta said. “However, the availability of skilled and trained resources will be critical to drive success of various eGovernment initiatives. The South African government’s planned expansion of the recently piloted Smart ID card initiative in 2013 and Turkish government plans to provide all government services electronically by the year 2019 will create new opportunities for technology and  service providers in the fast growing Middle East and Africa region.

Further information on government sector IT spending is available in the Gartner report  Enterprise IT Spending for the Government and Education Markets, Worldwide, 2010-2016, 4Q12 Update, and within the vertical industries forecast “Forecast: Enterprise IT Spending by Vertical Industry Market, Worldwide, 2010-2016, 4Q12 Update”, available at The forecasts provide total enterprise IT spending, including internal spending and multiple lines of detail for spending on hardware, software, IT services, and telecommunications for vertical industries and 43 countries within seven geographies.

Gartner analysts are examining key industry topics and providing insights at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo.

Florida starting outside linebacker Jelani Jenkins underwent surgery Monday for a broken bone in his foot and is not expected to play in the Gators' bowl game in January.

“He probably will miss the bowl game. Not certain,” UF coach Will Muschamp said. “There's a medical term for it. It's a small bone in his foot. He should be fine. It's a four to six-week recovery and he'll be fine.”

Jenkins injured his foot in the third quarter of UF's 37-26 victory over Florida State on Saturday. He was replaced by true freshman Antonio Morrison, who made a game-changing play in the fourth quarter when his big hit on quarterback EJ Manuel forced a fumble that led to a touchdown.

Muschamp announced Monday that two other players — offensive guard Ian Silberman and safety De'Ante Saunders (undisclosed injury) — also will miss the bowl game.

Linebacker Neiron Ball (ankle) and defensive tackle Leon Orr (kidney infection) will play in the bowl game, Muschamp said.

Quarterback Jeff Driskel, who missed the Jacksonville State game with a sprained right ankle, is back in a walking boot this week, but Muschamp said he is fine.

“Jeff is just sore,” Muschamp said.

Starting center Jon Harrison also is in a walking boot after spraining his ankle in the FSU game.

“He's fine,” Muschamp said.

Driskel clear No. 1 going into '13

Driskel's overall strong performance this season has solidified his status as Florida's quarterback heading into next season.

When Muschamp was asked if there is any scenario where Driskel isn't the starter heading into 2013, he said, “No.”

“First-year starter, you win 11 games, you've accomplished an awful lot,” Muschamp said. “Certainly, his legs and us being able to stay multiple in the run because of what he was able to do (is important).

“The guy is a tough guy. He went out there (against FSU) not full speed and played very well against an elite defense. Certainly, his growth through the offseason will be critical for our success next season.”

Muschamp said he is not worried about the attitude of his No. 2 quarterback (Jacoby Brissett) even though it's obvious Driskel is UF's quarterback moving forward.

“No. Jacoby has been great,” Muschamp said. “And Jacoby knows that he is one snap away and is a guy that we have a lot of confidence in.”

Juniors eyeing the NFL

Muschamp said he has already had conversations with several top underclassmen who will have the opportunity to leave after the season to pursue an NFL career.

“I've had conversations with some guys as early as yesterday and today,” he said. “We'll handle that when the bowl game is over. That is not a conversation we are going to have every press conference before the bowl game.”

Muschamp said he encourages underclassmen to submit paperwork to the NFL to determine where they might go in the draft.

“Then I sit down with them and give them input I've gotten from NFL people,” Muschamp said. “But some agent isn't going to give you the right information, I can assure you of that. We have a good process here just being really honest and open with our players.

“If a guy is going to be a first-round pick, I'm probably going to tell him to go to the NFL. That's just my policy. If he's not and he can improve himself, then I suggest he comes back.”

Junior defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd is considered a possible first-round pick by some of the draft analysts. Junior safety Matt Elam also could be a fairly high draft pick, possibly second round, if he decides to come out early.

Purifoy a two-way player in 2013?

Starting sophomore cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy could end up playing on both sides of the ball next season. Purifoy lined up some at wide receiver in the second half of the season and could be more of a factor on offense in the future, Muschamp said.

“Loucheiz is going to be a corner for us,” Muschamp said. “But, at the end of the day, we've got to create a role for him because he is an explosive guy. He makes plays with the ball in his hands. He has tremendous ball skills.

“You can't ever have enough of those guys, and we need to have more. He's a guy that we're going to find a role as we move forward in every game to get explosive guys the ball. He's one of those guys at this time.”

WR coach search begins

Muschamp said he is ready to begin his search for a new wide receivers coach. It's pretty apparent Bush Hamdan, the graduate assistant who handled the role this season, will be among the candidates.

“I'm going to talk to some receiver coaches at this point,” Muschamp said. “Bush and I met (Sunday) and he's done a fantastic job this year. How we move forward and the timetable, I have none right now.”

Muschamp said he does not expect any other changes on his coaching staff. But he said he'll be prepared if he needs to find a replacement.

“This is a great place to work and we've got a good, young football team and we're going to be good for a long time, OK,” Muschamp said. “I always tell our staff this: If you have an opportunity for a promotion, if you're a position coach and you can be a coordinator, if you're a coordinator and you can be a head coach, I'll support you a thousand percent. That says what kind of job we're doing here at Florida.

“Guys that want to make parallel moves and they're always looking for the next job, they don't need to be here anyway. We'll go find a good coach. There's a bunch of people that want to coach here. There's a long list at my desk.”

Let's go back in time over 1,200 years ago when Arab poet dude Abu Nuwas wrote the following totally gay shit:

"I die of love for him, perfect in every way,

Lost in the strains of wafting music.

My eyes are fixed upon his delightful body

And I do not wonder at his beauty."

Yeah, total fag. Isn't history neat? Now back to the present.

So not all guys who are of full or partial Middle Eastern descent are going to market their porn careers that way. But there are a few, like damn hunky Abraham Al Malek (top) and damn hunky Aybars (next pic down on the left). Since my previous vision of a highly sexualized Middle Eastern man was the Lebanese Klinger character from M*A*S*H (hey some of his dresses were backless!), it's refreshing to see some guys creating new sexual imagery. Racial diversity isn't strictly about black and white.

But I am talking about race because Middle Eastern guys are for sure a minority in porn. And I would at least hope an appreciated one. But filling out the picture, and adding to the diversity of images around Middle Eastern men are, thankfully, hordes of amateur posers, some pictured here. I'm afraid this post may have contributed to the stereotype of Middle Eastern men being majorly hung.

Well I encourage you to investigate that stereotype in depth.

Peralta, Gomez lead Brewers over Giants 3-1

Comments Comments Print Print
Associated Press
Wednesday, August 7, 2013

SAN FRANCISCO—Carlos Gomez homered, Wily Peralta outdueled Matt Cain to end a three-start winless stretch and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1 on Tuesday night.

Gomez hit his 18th homer in the second as the Brewers jumped on Cain (7-7) early. Jonathan Lucroy added a ninth-inning sacrifice fly.

Peralta (8-11) struck out six of nine batters during an early sequence and finished with six Ks in 6 1/3 innings for his first career victory against the Giants.

Cain was handed his first loss since the All-Star break. The right-hander had been 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in the second half, and pitched well enough to win this one.

Brandon Crawford doubled to start the eighth but the Giants failed to bring him home for what would have been the tying run. Cain allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings, struck out six and didn’t walk a batter for the fifth time this year — but it wasn’t enough with little help from a stagnant offense.

He has had his toughest moments against Milwaukee, going 3-7 in 11 career starts. The struggling defending World Series champions are 2 for 22 (.090) with runners in scoring position in the first two games of the series.

Pinch-hitter Joaquin Arias drove in a run on a groundout in the seventh as San Francisco avoided being shut out. Arias’ fielding error in the ninth led to Milwaukee scoring an unearned run on Lucroy’s sac fly.

The Brewers did just enough to back Peralta. In the fourth, Norichika Aoki doubled leading off the inning and advanced on Jean Segura’s groundout. With Aoki well off third, catcher Buster Posey threw to try to get him. But the throw sailed wildly into shallow left field past third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who wasn’t close despite lunging to his left and Aoki scored.

Peralta had lost his previous two starts and was winless in three outings since back-to-back victories July 9 and 14. Peralta singled to start the sixth for his seventh career hit and sixth this year.

Jim Henderson came on and retired four batters for his 16th save in 19 chances.

One shooting at one bar that wounds a man, though disturbing, does not signal a trend.

A second shooting that injures another man within months at the same bar, however, comes much closer to a trend. It should prompt all parties—owner, law enforcement and elected officials—to ensure a third doesn’t happen.

The Milton Town Board is right to call Countryside Inn owner Rich Erdman to a hearing Thursday to review whether his tavern’s activities violate state statutes and warrant liquor license suspension. Triggering the summons is a complaint filed Monday that alleges “disorderly and riotous” behavior linked to dance parties at the bar on Highway 59.

Erdman seemed to deserve a pass after the first shooting, which occurred as a hip-hop dance party wrapped up last June 22 and left a man with three torso wounds. After all, the gunfire happened in the parking lot and appeared to involve two Dane County men in a lovers’ triangle. Rather than a gang incident, this appeared to be a relationship quarrel that could have erupted anywhere.

Erdman’s hip-hop parties attract crowds, particularly from bigger cities, and reap him handsome profits. Unruliness often follows this aggressive music, however, and a nearby gas station complained that a crowd swamped the business and shoplifted alcohol. Extra patrols seemed sensible, but after that first shooting, the Rock County Sheriff’s Office said it would send eight deputies to the next two such events.

That seemed like an excessive use of public money to police a private business. However, evidence the sheriff’s office compiled after this second shooting Jan. 26 suggests otherwise.

Erdman’s security staff wasn’t sufficient. Sheriff’s officials say two deputies were called around bar time to help. After they left, an officer the town had hired to monitor the party recalled them when a fight broke out in the bar. Deputies say two more fights erupted, dividing their attention.

A Madison man later told authorities he was shot in the leg at a Milton tavern. He described the fights in enough detail, and authorities listened to 911 calls and talked to enough witnesses, that they believe he was shot outside the Countryside Inn.

Erdman questions that and says security cameras outside the doors don’t show clear signs of a shooting.

He’ll have his chance to dispute law enforcement’s evidence Thursday and present his own. If the town board thinks evidence doesn’t warrant a license suspension under state statutes, it should expedite plans to enact a demerit system that could lead to sanctions or revocation for any tavern that violates liquor license terms.

Shootings are alarming, and so are the sheriff’s office reports on the Jan. 26 event. It’s fortunate no one has died. Set aside arguments that pulling the plug on the parties would somehow be racist because hip-hop music tends to attract black people.

Generally speaking, rules shouldn’t quash opportunities for businesses to make money. But after two shootings and the need to spend too many tax dollars to maintain safety, either Erdman should wise up and drop plans to host more such parties or the town board should do whatever it can to prevent them.

Your Views: Four reasons to say 'no' to Common Core education

Comments Comments Print Print
Tuesday, March 4, 2014

Common Core standards do not allow teachers or parents to help students learn fully. Actually, the standards undermine educational quality as well as choice. Allow me to explain.

1.) Local communities know their students and can much better understand and set standards for their students than can the government.

2.) Not only do parents have less say about what goes into their children's education with Common Core, but they also are not able to provide their children with a better education in a different school district with different standards because all standards will be the same between districts.

3.) Students are constantly at different levels of learning. Common Core holds back some students from their potential while pushing other students beyond their pace of learning. A good education policy recognizes that each student has a different learning pace as well as a different learning style, and allows educators the freedom to recognize and tailor their approaches.

4.) With Common Core, I do not believe there is enough room for improvement in our educational system. Schools do not have the opportunity to try new methods or systems of education because they are required to develop their approach around the Common Core standards.

The reality is that education cannot be successful with a “one-size-fits-all” type of policy. Do not allow Common Core standards to defeat our schools; stand up for the unique educational needs of Wisconsin students!

2007 Holiday Gift Guide: Braun Pulsonic 9595

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Household, Men

Braun Pulsonic

The Braun Pulsonic electric shaver tips the scales at about half a pound, but word on the street is that this is the smoothest electric shave you’ll find anywhere. It’s all in the pulsing head, which boasts 10,000 vibrations per minute, and the Power-Comb system that prepares your hair to be snipped. There’s also a base station that cleans the unit with alcohol while also charging it for the next use. It’s not all fun and games with the 9595, but truth be told, just because the base station has a larger than normal footprint and the cleaning system can be a bit loud, it isn’t enough to overlook this one.

The Silent Mouse: No more Click Click

's "Silent mouse" is a regular looking mouse with one silent feature - it makes no sound when you click. The sound proofing is done by using a sound proof shape and silicone in the buttons.

The Silent Mouse is compatible with Windows XP/2000 & Mac OS X and uses USB interface. Great for late night mousing sessions.

Automatic CD/DVD Shredder

Calling it a shredder isn't right; because technically it doesn't shred the CD's  But that's what ThinkGeek calls it  and we agree on the name (only) from the usability point :-)

What it  really does is to scratch the CD's and DVD's that you feed into the shredder enough so that the data becomes un-recoverable. So, you don't get little pieces of 'CD confetti' like the paper shredders, but  CD's like they were scratched by a gazillion cats in a alley fight.

It's Big: Seagate's new 750 GB Hard Drive

Holy Moly. This thing is big. The largest desktop hard disk drive to date, the the 750 GB Seagate hard disk drive has pushed data storage to unprecdented levels. Part of Barracuda 7200.10 series, the 3.5-inch 750 Hard disk drive is capable of pushing data at the speed of 3.0Gb/sec and has three new features; 'Adaptive Fly Height', 'Clean Sweep' and a automatic bad sector scan.

The Adaptive Fly height technology is kind of like 'self raising shock absorbers for cars'; the drive monitors the temperature of the environment, and accordingly raising or decreasing the height of the read-write head inside the hard disk for optimum operation and performance. Clean Sweep on the other hand polishes and cleans the hard disk media at every power-on. The automatic bad sector scan activates automatically when the drive remains idle for some time and scans & marks bad sectors on the drive with out the need for 'Scandisk' or any other disk utility. Since it happens and requires no user-intervention it is also more effective. > Read more

Flashbag: The inflating USB flash drive

This product is only at the concept stage, so you can't buy it. But, it's a standard USB drive that has a tiny pump in it that inflates when you load it with data.  So if your drive is full of stuff, it blows up like a balloon, but if it's empty it remains flat and rectangular.

Sounds like some concept allright. But, we can't think of anyone who would want something like this. Would you carry a full size mango in your pocket? No, then why would you carry this, aye? > Read more

GeeXboX 1.0: ‘As foretold by Nostradamus’ edition

Here we finally are … after more than 3 years of perpetual development, GeeXboX finally reaches its so long awaited 1.0 release. Many of you were waiting for it and this is probably the best edition of GeeXboX that you’ve ever had. We’ve spent so much time in the last few months to fix all the bugs that we can, so that you’ll be forced to enjoy it 😉 At the time Aurel and myself started working on GeeXboX, none of us would have expected our software to become that famous. I’m really glad that this version finally came out and I really really want to thank from the depths of my heart all the people of our development team who are getting involved in GeeXboX everyday.
