"I feel great; my body's feels the best that it's felt ever since last year," said Moore, who is averaging 16.8 points the past four games. "On top of that, I'm really starting to understand that we're not getting any more games. It's starting to get down to the wire. It's (almost) February. And I'm a senior, I'm not getting any of these games back so every single game I'm playing it like it's my last game."

UConn tallied its highest first-half total since netting 51 in the first half against Buffalo.
|
"In the first half, the last four minutes I was very, very disappointed," Pittsburgh coach Agnus Berenato said. "In the second half, I felt like we couldn't compete with them. Once you let a team with the caliber of Connecticut get on a roll - they thought at halftime the game was over and they exuded confidence - and that set us back."
|
In the second half, the closest the Panthers ever got within the lead was 16. Histed opened the half with a 14-foot jumper to get the deficit to 47-31 23 seconds into the second.
|
The Huskies put together a 16-0 run midway through the second half to stretch their lead to 71-38 with 9:01 to play in the game. Part of the run started a streak of 13 consecutive possessions they scored, during which they made 10 field goals in a row.
|
"I know coach has his doubts today that we'd come out flat," Battle said. "Everybody had said in their minds if we're going to be good, we can't have days where we don't show any energy or we don't show emotions off court."

Rick Goldstein has been deeply involved in the low-income housing tax credit since its enactment in 1986 and is a national authority on that program. Rick represents syndicators, investors, developers and other participants in transactions involving the housing tax credit. His leadership in the affordable housing industry was recently recognized by Affordable Housing Finance Magazine, which named Rick to its Affordable Housing Hall of Fame in 2014.
|
Rick focuses his practice in two areas: transactions and public policy, both with the low-income housing tax credit in common. This unique combination has direct benefits to the firm’s clients. Rick can counsel clients on detailed and complex transactional matters, and can also advise them on how public policy affects current and future business matters.
|
On the transactional side, I have been representing syndicators, investors and developers in housing tax credit deals since 1987, including acquisitions of project partnerships, dispositions and “upper tier work.” With my breadth of experience, I generally focus on more complex transactions. For example, I recently closed two master lease transactions allowing for separate ownership of market rate and low-income units on behalf of PNC Bank. Representing City Real Estate Advisors, I recently closed an urban new construction transaction and a rural rehabilitation deal, each of which involved complex business and tax issues.
|
My lobbying involves representing the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition, a major Washington, DC, trade association in the housing credit industry. My transactional experience gives me exceptional credibility in advocating for the housing tax credit from the perspective of a professional in the field. I have developed deep relationships with a number of members of Congress, including those in leadership positions.

'Interactive, Educational, Fun' WonderWorks promises ‘indoor amusement park for the mind’ by Becca Martin-Brown | March 3, 2019 at 1:00 a.m.
|
Photo courtesy Janine Vaccarello Among the exhibits planned for WonderWorks in Branson is the Interactive Sandbox, where each hand motion and sand movement will produce unique environments for guests to explore.
|
It's no surprise when a company spokeswoman sings the praises of a new Branson attraction.
|
"We always say 'fun for all ages' because it's true," says Orlando-based Janine Vaccarello, chief operating officer for WonderWorks. "Whether you are 5 or 50, you can have a great time. There really is something for everyone.
|
"This is not a place just for kids: It's interactive, educational, fun -- everyone will smile!"
|
"It feels like a mix between a science museum and an arcade with lots of different activities to do," a German visitor to the Orlando location wrote.
|
"My husband and I took our 14-, 13-, and 10-year-old," a mom wrote about the Pigeon Forge location. "We thought it would be a little over an hour worth of things to do, but ... we didn't even do everything after three hours."
|
"You could spend an hour or a day and still be enjoying when you left," wrote another Pigeon Forge visitor. "We had a family group of nine ranging in ages 13 to 65, and every one of us had a blast."
|
Founded in 1998 in Orlando, WonderWorks is the brainchild of John Morgan, who worked at Disney through college, Vaccarello says. "He has a very creative imagination, and attractions blood runs through his veins!"
|
Morgan envisioned "an indoor amusement park for the mind" that is uniquely recognizable outdoors. WonderWorks is in fact known for its iconic look -- a grandiose house flipped upside-down.
|
"The unique facade is part of WonderWorks' background story," Vaccarello says in a press release. "According to legend, it was once a top-secret laboratory that was lifted and flipped on its roof by an experiment gone awry."
|
The Interactive Sandbox -- Explorers will experience land, sea and safari in this futuristic exhibit. Using light projections, each hand motion and sand movement will produce unique environments for guests to explore.
|
Illusion Art Gallery -- A plethora of optical illusion pieces make a space between exhibits for guests to stop and challenge their minds and vision.
|
Xtreme 360 Bikes -- The movement of the bike depends on how fast and hard guests pedal. Participants will try to generate enough power to make complete 360-degree revolution.
|
Professor Wonder's Adventure -- An interactive way to learn how WonderWorks came to be, this spatial augmented reality adventure will give guests a 3-D experience that transforms the area they stand in into an "unreal" experience.
|
Bubble Room -- Create bubbles the size of basketballs, blow bubbles through a bubble sheet, or make a bubble big enough for a creator to fit inside.
|
"WonderWorks will offer guests over 100 hands-on activities focused on science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics," Vaccarello promises, "with interactive exhibits about natural disasters, light, sound, space, imagination and more. The attraction will also feature a physical challenge area and, exclusive to the Branson's location, an interactive military experience and an exhibit that gives a nod to Branson's rich history."
|
Vaccarello says the goal at WonderWorks is to bring both tourists and locals back to the attraction many times.
|
"We have many repeat visitors each year at all our locations," she says. "We've looked at Branson for a long time; it's a market similar to Pigeon Forge; and we found the location we liked -- so it was a fit!"

More than 600 people turned out Tuesday night for a memorial service to honor five people from the Village Bible Church in Park Forest who were killed in a crash in Mexico, where they had gone to spread the gospel.
|
Reid`s son, Stephen, 17, was one of those killed in the July 1 collision between a van carrying the church workers and a semi-tractor-trailer near Acapulco.
|
The others killed were Juan Ramirez, 45, of Park Forest, the youth director for the Village Bible Church; Ramirez`s son, Jacob, 15; Brian Krout, 16, of Flossmoor; and Jacob Kiepura, 14, of Steger. Also killed was one of two Mexican teenagers riding in the van. The second was critically injured.
|
Because the Village Bible Church is small, the service was held in Faith United Protestant Church, 10 Hemlock St., Park Forest. Cars filled the surrounding neighborhood and were lined up for long distances on Hemlock Street and Indianwood Boulevard.
|
Pastor Douglas Gallagher of the Faith United Church said the surviving Mexican teen has said that the passengers were singing songs and then had gone to sleep just before the accident.
|
''We`re not going to stop the ministries,'' said Pastor Oscar Carrasco of the First Spanish Church of God of Chicago Heights, whose nephew was the Mexican teen who was killed.
|
Gallagher read from a blood-stained Bible that had been owned by Kiepura and was with him when he died.

Austria's vice chancellor has called for a ban on ritual slaughter in the country, including Jewish shechitah.
|
Heinz-Christian Strache, the nation's interior minister and head of the far-right Freedom Party, in a Facebook post Monday said animals should be stunned before slaughter, which is prohibited for both Jewish kosher and Muslim halal meat.
|
"Slaughter is in many cases contrary to animal rights," he wrote. "Slaughter should generally be prohibited without prior stunning. As in other EU countries, too. And animals are not a thing either, but protected creatures that cannot be tortured."
|
The post included a link to an article in German that listed several European Union states that have made ritual slaughter illegal in recent years, including Denmark, Poland, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

Young golfers bidding to be the next Georgia Hall or Rory McIlroy can make a name for themselves this weekend as Europe’s elite juniors flock to Fairhaven.
|
The annual Fairhaven Nations Cup and Fairhaven Trophies take place from Friday to Sunday.
|
It’s part of a feast of Fylde golf this weekend as the Lytham Trophy – the first major international event on the amateur calendar – takes place at Royal Lytham and St Annes on Friday and Saturday.
|
It is the 12th year the Nations Cup, a 72-hole Open International Scratch Championship for boys and girls aged 18 and under, has been staged at Fairhaven.
|
The best teenage talent from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales will face their counterparts from 12 countries on the continent, including Germany, France and Spain.
|
England international Tom Stagg is one to watch in the boys’ field, while the girls include two-time runner-up Amelia Williamson, who has been crowned English National Schools Champion three times.
|
A club statement reads: “The ‘Fairhaven’ is one of the strongest and most internationally represented junior championships in Europe. With the championship being played on the same date and in the same format as the Lytham Trophy, it creates a festival of world-class amateur golf.
|
Lancashire’s young golfers are enjoying that winning feeling again after being crowned Four Counties champions for the third year in a row.
|
The best up and coming boys in the county retained the title at Nottingham’s Sherwood Forest base. The annual competition pits the Red Rose county against Cheshire, Nottinghamshire, and Shropshire and Herefordshire.
|
The Lancashire team of eight included five debutants, with two scratch players unavailable due to the Midland U16 Boys Open. The squad rose to the challenge superbly, with three wins out of three. They beat S&H 5-2, Nottinghamshire 4.5-2.5 and Cheshire A 6-1.
|
The eight-man Lancashire team included Royal Lytham and St Annes trio Louis Tarlaczyk, Jamie van Wyk and Grady Rogerson.
|
Knott End Ladies played a club foursomes and the first round of the Scott Leggatt competition. Elizabeth Parry and Joyce Wright will represent the club in the next round of the Scott Leggatt competition at Silverdale after their foursomes triumph.

This Summer, PBS's Poldark is my new jam. It's got all the winning qualities of a Summer TV stunner — that is, it's a pretty show with pretty people in it. Poldark follows Ross Poldark, a hot dude from a decent family who has been away warring in the Revolutionary War. When he returns to Cornwall, everyone is all, "I thought you were dead!" and also, "Your father died and left you in terrible debt and your estate is in ruins!" so Poldark goes about rebuilding his life. I pretty much only care about shows that take place in the 18th century and old 30 Rock episodes, so Poldark's gorgeous scenery and British accents are exactly what I need while I'm violently sweating through the Summer. Sure, it might be "just" a serviceable old-timey drama, but it's the serviceable old-timey drama I hold nearest and dearest to my heart. Here's why.
|
The mainstream media alleges that Russia was behind the hack of Hillary Clinton’s emails.
|
The media is parading out the usual suspects alleged experts to back up this claim.
|
Ray, I am suspicious that they may have looked for known hacking code (used by Russians). And, I’m sure they were one probably of many to hack her stuff. But, does that mean that they checked to see if others also hacked in?
|
Further, do they have evidence that the Russians downloaded and later forwarded those emails to wikileaks? Seems to me that they need to answer those questions to be sure that their assertion is correct. Otherwise, HRC and her political activities are and I am sure have been prime targets for the Russians (as well as many others) but without intent of course.
|
code that goes across the network is logged in the network log. This is where a little software could scan, analyze and find the intruders initially and then compile all the code sent by them to determine the type of attack. This is what we wanted to do back in 1991/92.
|
The newest allegation tying the Clinton email hack to Russia seems to be all innuendo.
|
My problem is that they have not listed intruders or attempted intrusions to the DNC site. I suspect that’s because they did a quick and dirty look for known attacks.
|
Of course, this brings up another question; if it’s a know attack, why did the DNC not have software to stop it? You can tell from the network log who is going into a site. I used that on networks that I had. I looked to see who came into my LAN, where they went, how long they stayed and what they did while in my network.
|
Further, if you needed to, you could trace back approaches through other servers etc. Trace Route and Trace Watch are good examples of monitoring software that help do these things. Others of course exist … probably the best are in NSA/GCHQ and the other Five Eyes countries. But, these countries have no monopoly on smart people that could do similar detection software.
|
Question is do they want to fix the problems with existing protection software. If the DNC and OPM are examples, then obviously, they don’t care to fix weakness probably because the want to use these weaknesses to their own advantage.
|
Well, the mainstream narrative alleges that the Clinton emails are not important … and that it’s a conspiracy between Putin and Trump to make sure Trump – and not Clinton – is elected.
|
For example, an allegation of hacking could literally lead to war.
|
So we should be skeptical of such serious and potentially far-reaching allegations – which may be true or may be false – unless and until they are proven.

A couple of weeks ago, Google announced Google Photos, a web and mobile app for storing an unlimited amount of photos and videos for free.
|
Trying to figure out if you should start using Google Photos? I know many people who have been trying to make up their minds about whether to adopt it.
|
I’ve been using the app nearly every day since it became available.
|
Here are a few good reasons to seriously consider signing up for Google Photos — and perhaps even switching over from Apple’s iCloud, Dropbox’s Carousel, Yahoo’s Flickr, Microsoft’s OneDrive, or some other cloud service for syncing and sharing photos.
|
1) Google has room for you — all the room you want — for free.
|
Above: Some photos I took recently.
|
Google Photos can store your photos as is, with no compression, but photos you upload that way will count against your quota of storage across multiple Google apps, including Gmail. I suspect that many people will be willing to accept the compression in order to get unlimited storage with Google Photos. Simply put, free is tempting.
|
2) Compression of your photos and videos isn’t hugely obvious to the human eye.
|
Above: Photos are compressed, but you probably won’t notice.
|
Taking the free and unlimited route means all of your photos and videos will be compressed, but reports in the past few weeks suggest that images don’t look that different once you’ve uploaded them to Google Photos.
|
With the exception of professional photographers and videographers and people using retina displays, the compressed resolution of your photos shouldn’t be much of an issue.
|
3) It produces “stories,” panoramas, animated GIFs, and stylized versions of your photos without requiring you to do anything.
|
Above: The story Google Photos made of a trip I took to LinkedIn headquarters a few months ago.
|
In one weekend, Google Photos automatically a) stylized a photo of mine to make it look cool, b) generated animated GIFs that actually weren’t all the bad, c) stitched together several pictures to make a neat panorama, and d) generated “stories” with pictures, locations, and businesses that I visited.
|
But the stylized photos, the panoramas and the animated GIFs all made me feel like an accomplished, prolific photographer, even though I’m really just an amateur. These automatically generated products made me want to log on to the desktop app or engage with the mobile app more — and do more with my photos.
|
4) Search for things in your photos, thanks to image recognition powered by Google’s cutting-edge artificial intelligence.
|
Long before Google became a powerhouse in email, mobile devices, and document creation, it was a game-changing search engine. So perhaps it’s not surprising that the search feature in Google Photos makes the service revolutionary, relative to most other photos apps out there.
