Wilcox's 24 leads Washington past Oregon 76-60

SEATTLE (AP) ? Whether starting or coming off the bench, there's no doubting the shooting prowess of Washington's C.J. Wilcox.

Moved to a reserve role for the start of Pac-12 Conference play, Wilcox responded by matching his career-high with 24 points, and the Huskies improved to 2-0 to start the conference season with a 76-60 win over Oregon on Saturday night.

"I just know I have to come off and create a sort of spark for the team coming off the bench," Wilcox said. "I'm OK with it. It's good."

Wilcox was shuttled to the bench earlier this week as a way to get freshman Tony Wroten and 7-footer Aziz N'Diaye in the starting lineup together. Wilcox still came through with his highest point total since scoring 24 last season against UCLA, making 8 of 11 shots and 6 of 8 3-pointers ? matching his career-high in 3-pointers made.

Perhaps most important, Wilcox scored 13 during a key second-half run for Washington (8-5, 2-0 Pac-12) after the Ducks had trimmed a double-digit deficit down to four.

"If he starts, if he comes off the bench, if he plays with any combinations that we have, he's going to do the same thing," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said of Wilcox.

In his first game coming off the bench this season on Thursday night, Wilcox played 30 minutes and finished with 15 points. He was even more dynamic on Saturday in 33 minutes, which is more than his average for the season.

Wroten added 17 points, five assists and four rebounds, while Abdul Gaddy added 12 points and Terrance Ross had 11, and Washington shot nearly 54 percent.

"It's like you pick your poison if everybody is shooting like that," Gaddy said. "But it's all about ball movement."

E.J. Singler led Oregon (10-4, 1-1) with 20 points, 13 coming in the first half. But the Ducks shot just 32 percent and leading scorer Devoe Joseph was 1 of 13 shooting and finished with just four points, 10 below his season average.

But the Ducks continued to hang around, closing within 48-44 in the second half before Wilcox nearly put together the Huskies' decisive run by himself.

Washington led 47-36 when a backcourt dustup between Wroten and Oregon's Olu Ashaolu resulted in double technicals for Ashaolu and Washington's Darnell Gant. The technical also proved to be the start of Oregon's final surge as the Ducks scored eight of the next nine points to pull within 48-44 after consecutive easy baskets for Singler.

Romar called timeout and after the teams exchanged turnovers, Wilcox connected on back-to-back 3-pointers to put the lead back to 54-46. Even after a timeout, the run continued with Wilcox scoring on a left-handed baseline drive and Ross hitting a crossover, step-back 3 to give the Huskies a 59-46 lead. Wilcox added another baseline basket and Gaddy capped the run with an open 3-pointer from the wing to give the Huskies their biggest lead to that point at 64-49 with 7:59 left.

Washington led by as many as 19 in the closing minutes.

Oregon was trying for a 2-0 conference start after knocking off Washington State on Thursday night. It didn't help that Joseph couldn't make anything. Joseph came in averaging 14.7 points for the Ducks, but his one basket came midway through the first half. It was a theme throughout the Oregon lineup as the Ducks got plenty of looks from the perimeter, but couldn't make Washington pay for slow defensive rotations. The Ducks were just 5 of 23 on 3-pointers after coming in as a 36 percent 3-point-shooting team. .

Ashaolu, who had 23 points and 10 rebounds against Washington State, was limited to six points and 12 rebounds. It got so bad for the Ducks that Carlos Emory couldn't convert a breakaway dunk attempt with 2 minutes left, losing his grip of the ball as he went up for the uncontested slam.

Oregon coach Dana Altman kept his players in the locker room for an extended period after the game.

"Disappointing performance. We've obviously got a lot of work to do," Altman said. "We couldn't guard their dribble drives, we gave up a lot of open 3s. There wasn't much defense there at all."

Oregon had its chances, especially in the first half when Washington's defensive rotations were sluggish and gave the Ducks looks at open perimeter shots. The Ducks were just 2 of 14 on 3-point attempts in the first half and finished 5 of 23. Singler made 4 of 9 shots in the first half, while the rest of the Ducks were a combined 7 for 25.

Garrett Sim added 13 points for Oregon but no one else showed up to help offensively.

"They took us out of a lot of our sets and we didn't move the ball as well as we did against Washington State and it showed in our shooting percentage," Singler said.

Facebook: banche in competizione per Ipo prossimo anno

Andrea Michelozzi ?RapidTVNews | 31-12-2011

Il ruolo di investment-banking principale della Ipo di Facebook comincera? ad essere conteso dal prossimo anno, e le rivali Goldman Sachs Group e Morgan Stanley sono considerate le capoliste.

La societa? di Menlo Park, in California, ha intenzione di presentare i suoi documenti riguardanti l?offerta all?inizio del 2012, ha affermato una fonte informata sulla questione, e questo vuol dire che una decisione sulle banche potrebbe essere presa molto presto.

Le dispute per l?accordo saranno tra le piu? infuocate del decennio, con centinaia di milioni di dollari in ballo per potenziali imposte e diritti. La vendita potrebbe raggiungere i 10 mld usd, per un valore totale della societa? di oltre 100 mld usd.

Le imposte per le Ipo di queste dimensioni hanno una media del 2,2%, secondo Dealogic. Questo potrebbe portare ad un saldo totale di oltre 220 mln usd, sebbene la societa? potrebbe negoziare imposte piu? basse dato che l?accordo di Facebook rappresenta un trofeo importante. Goldman e Morgan sono in forte competizione con altre banche di investimento che gareggiano per diventare le manager leader.

Tuttavia, sembrano entrambe essere le favorite. Goldman ha orchestrato un?offerta privata per le azioni di Facebook di 1,5 mld usd a gennaio, mentre Morgan Stanley e? la banca principale per le Ipo del settore internet di quest?anno, sia negli Usa che a livello globale.

LG To Debut Second Intel-Powered Smartphone At CES 2012

"If at first you don't succeed, try try again." It looks like LG and Intel have taken that old adage to heart, if a new report is to be believed. The Korea Times reports that LG will debut an Intel-powered smartphone at CES 2012, but the bigger question is whether or not the device will ever make it to market.

Community Works To Save Sick Man's Farm

"I'm just a neighbor helping a neighbor that's all i know to say," says life long Richard Wilkerson.

Since early October, Richard Wilkerson has been coming here with nearly 100 other volunteers.

"They've been coming here after their work shift, staying for four or five hours or late into the night, some of them five and six days a week," says Kevin Trent, Calvin Harp's brother-in-law.

These volunteers are stripping Calvin Harp's tobacco.
"he's slipping in and out right now..."

Harp has stage-four pancreatic cancer and can no longer work on his farm.

"Oh he loved doing it, he'd sneak out here after church sometimes," says Trent.

Friends and family describe Harp as a strong, generous man..

"...He would do anything for anyone, at any time, didn't matter," says Tim HighBaugh, who describes himself as friend.

They say Calvin Harp poured his heart into this work and they have come here to make his farm survives as a way to celebrate him.

"Oh we joke and talk about memories with him..." says Highbaugh.

For some it might be hard to understand, but they swear there is healing in the physical labor of stripping the tobacco.

The volunteers have been working for three straight months, producing more tobacco, quicker than Harp Farm has done before.

They expect to be finished tonight or tomorrow.

Ovarian cancer study proves drug delays disease progression, may improve survival

The findings, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, report that the drug halted the cancer's return for two months overall. However, for women with the highest risk disease, the delay was five to six months and in this group, the findings also indicate a strong trend to improved overall survival, which is being analysed until 2013.

"This is the first new drug in ovarian cancer in 15 years to improve outcome and I believe it should be considered as a potential new standard of care," says Dr. Oza, a medical oncologist who leads the Cancer Clinical Research Unit at Princess Margaret Hospital. He is also co-director of the hospital's Bras Family Drug Development Program and Professor, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto.

The seven-year study began in 2004 and enrolled 1,528 women with ovarian cancer at 263 centres, including 20 in Canada. Avastin was added to chemotherapy treatment and given intravenously every three weeks for 12 months.

The drug blocks growth factors that promote new blood vessels formation in tumours, thereby "starving" the cancer. It is not a cure, explains Dr. Oza, but has a proven track record in delaying disease progression in other types of cancer including colorectal, lung, breast, kidney and brain.

"We now know that using Avastin in ovarian cancer for even this short time improves outcomes," says Dr. Oza. "The next step is to determine if giving it for a longer period would be of even greater benefit."

Similar findings from a U.S. study are also reported in this issue of the journal. Dr. Oza says the major difference between the two studies is that the women in the American study were given twice as much Avastin. "So the question now is would half the dose for double the duration improve outcomes even more? This is an area to investigate further."
