Men’s basketball wins opener

11:36 PM Aston , Posted in , 0 Comments

The 2010 season started off with a bang for the Cougar basketball team in their 89-49 victory against Lewis-Clark State, with newcomer Faisel Aden leading the way on offense.

An estimated 3,700 fans were at Friel Court to see the junior college transfer show off his pure shooting stroke. Aden scored 15 points in the first half and 22 for the game. In all, he made 9-of-13 shots.
“I always play with confidence,” Aden said. “Growing up, I always played with confidence and that’s just where I came from.

“I think I played good. It felt really good actually to be out there finally. We’ve been playing each other for so long and to play somebody else and the competition was pretty good too.” The Cougars’ bench played a big role in the win, pouring in 44 points with 22 of them coming from Aden. In about 15 minutes of playing time each, sophomore Brock Motum scored 11 off the bench and freshman Patrick Simon added seven.

Head coach Ken Bone said the team has built the depth that he is looking for, and it was made clear with Aden’s performance.

“Well Faisel showed that tonight,” Bone said. “Sometimes he makes it look effortless. He’s a very good shooter, he has a nice little shot fake and he knows how to create shots for himself. He’s one of the first guys off the bench.” Junior Klay Thompson also had an impressive evening, dropping 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting in just 24 minutes of playing time. Thompson was stellar from behind the three-point line, going 4-of-5, and said although the team only has one game under its belt, he can see differences from last season.

“We’re a year older and a lot of us are taking our game to another level,” Thompson said. “With Faisel, now we have another big-time scoring threat from the wing so we’re just a lot more balanced this year, and it allows me to be a lot more versatile.” Bone said he was more impressed with the extras, not just the scoring, that Thompson brought to the stat sheet Friday night.

“He comes up with seven rebounds, two blocked shots, two steals, an assist,” Bone said. “He’s not just a shooter, he’s finding other ways to contribute to our team.” Meanwhile in the post, starting center DeAngelo Casto added to the offensive fireworks by scoring 18 points while adding four rebounds. Casto played only 16 minutes, but Bone said he liked what he saw out of his junior center.

“DeAngelo was really solid in the paint,” Bone said. “He was 7-of-8 from the field, and I liked the way he was under control and played at his own speed. If he didn’t have good balance or the shot he wanted, he was patient and had some nice shot fakes and pivots to create a good open shot for himself.” Another aspect in the teams blowout win against the Warriors was starting point guard Reggie Moore, who went 0-3 from the floor, finishing the game with no points. However, in the eyes of Bone, Moore had a great evening spreading the ball around and not trying to force anything on offense.

“What I was impressed with was that Reggie Moore went out and here’s a guy who was on the all Pac-10 freshman team last year, and he doesn’t score a point,” Bone said. “But he has 7 assists, no turnovers and he was very involved in the game but scoring was not a priority for him tonight because he got other guys the ball that was scoring. I think that’s very important for our team’s success, that unselfish attitude.”

Luxxemen owners.. Edward Chan (left) and
Kenny Wan
DAY after day we look for new spots to get good shopping deals for ourselves and we almost have no worries of not being able to find anything as we are often spoilt for choice. From department stores to stand-alone boutiques and now, even online fashion portals have a strong focus on women’s clothing. So, where then should men be getting their fashion fix even for staple items such as tees, shirts and pants?
It probably never crossed our minds where our guy friends find their selection of clothing as there are only limited retail outlets in malls which offer specific men’s clothing.Have you ever mistaken your husband or boyfriend for someone else because of the exact same polo tee he was wearing? That would be quite embarrassing.
Finding that fashion for men were getting rather repetitive in Malaysia, business partners and good friends Kenny Wan and Edward Chan, both 30, refused to compromise with the limitations of menswear in the local fashion industry. To create more variety in their personal wardrobe, both Wan and Chan channelled their shopping budgets to online boutiques and found a whole new fashion world where more selections are available.
"We both travel very often and have seen a wide variety of fashion items available from the countries we’ve visited. We realised that there are very limited selections available locally and it came to point where we stopped buying from retail outlets. That was when we started shopping online many years ago just so that we were able to buy fashionable pieces," said Wan.

After exploring fashion in different Asian and Western countries, the duo noticed that there is a gap in Malaysia where the world of men’s clothing is often skewed towards the mass market. Compared to the items found out of the country, there is a lack of designer items for men in Malaysia. 

"There are not that many retail outlets where we can purchase our clothing from and due to that, we have no choice but to settle for highly priced selections and not having the luxury to choose among better quality items as there isn’t that wide a variety to choose from. It limits our buying power especially for fresh graduates or students who don’t have that much budget to spend on clothing but are looking for affordable and fashionable clothing items," expressed Chan. 

The collections available at http://luxxemen.com are mainly imported from designers and manufacturers based in China. Luxxemen offers T-shirts, dress shirts, pants, denims, tank tops, sports wear, bags, belts, socks, a selection of accessories and skincare.
"Our clothing selections are mainly handpicked from various designers or manufacturers which we met on various travelling trips. Not all items are chosen according to trends which we both like, but at the same time we also observe what our customers prefer or are looking for in men’s fashion. Having that in mind, we try our best to bring more variety of unique and creative clothing designs as we discovered that men are beginning to pay more attention to what they wear and want to stand out in the crowd," added Wan.

"If you are wondering whether there is competition, at the moment, I can confidently say no. There is the mass produced market of menswear, but we are not here to compete as we only bring in limited pieces of each design. This is due to the feedback from our customers who enquired how many pieces do we stock for each item. We learnt that it is not only the ladies who fear having identical items like their friends, but men are also fussy about what they buy," said Chan. 

You may wonder then if Wan and Chan will design their own collection of clothing; the answer is yes but just not so soon. 

"Both of us don’t have a background in fashion designing. I work in advertising while Edward is pursuing his masters in chemical engineering. But for the love of fashion, we launched Luxxemen. We do plan to design our own clothing line. 

"However, at the moment, we want to focus on creating a consistent business flow and focus more on the online business before venturing into a physical boutique. There is still a lot more which we want to explore and it takes time to research for the best way to execute our ideas," added Wan. 

Prices of items at Luxxemen range from RM20 onwards. For a closer look, Luxxemen recently launched a showroom in Kota Damansara where customers can browse and make purchases. It also serves as a collection point for online purchases.

UNC men’s soccer team win ACC regular season title

Senior midfielder Michael Farfan returned from injury to score the only goal UNC needed — a penalty kick 20 minutes into the ACC match.
In his 22 years at North Carolina, men’s soccer coach Elmar Bolowich has produced 27 Major League Soccer draft picks, 12 All-Americans and seven players who would go on to earn caps from the U.S. National Team.His teams have won an ACC Tournament title and the 2001 National Championship.But with a 2-0 victory in Friday night’s season finale against Clemson at Fetzer Field, this year’s Tar Heels accomplished something none of their predecessors was able to — an outright regular season conference championship.

“It’s a tremendous accomplishment for our team,” Bolowich said. “I’m very, very happy for our senior class to go out like that. They’ve done a tremendous job over the years, and the ones that came as transfers, they’ve blended right in. To achieve something like this in the ACC is outstanding.”Though the Tar Heels (14-2-1, 7-0-1 ACC) have shown a flair for the dramatic in this record-setting season, no theatrics were necessary on Senior Night. Fittingly it was Michael Farfan, UNC’s elusive senior midfielder, who drew first blood 20 minutes into the game.Redshirt freshman Matt Rose received a pass down the left flank from sophomore Enzo Martinez and managed to slip past a Clemson (5-8-4, 2-4-2 ACC) defender along the endline before being brought down in the box by Tiger goalkeeper Cody Mizell. 


Farfan coolly converted the ensuing penalty to give UNC the only goal it would need.The Tigers had a point-blank attempt at an equalizer snuffed out by UNC goalie Scott Goodwin in the 53nd minute, but that was as close as they would come as the Tar Heels out shot the opposition 19-7.Junior forward Alex Dixon led the UNC attack in the second half. Though he was unable to convert on any of his three shots, Dixon was a code red for the visitors in orange throughout the evening, using his instant acceleration to snatch lazy back passes and fly past defenders down the sidelines.Appropriately it was freshman forward Robbie Lovejoy who finally put the finishing touches on the program’s first unbeaten ACC season. 


The Greensboro native is one of a cadre of underclassmen reinforcements who have carried the load for the 12 Tar Heels who have missed games due to injury this season.Lovejoy struck with less than 17 minutes to play after a Kirk Urso corner kick grazed the head of a Clemson defender and fell to the feet of UNC midfielder Dustin McCarty on the left side of the 18-yard box. McCarty smacked the ball toward goal, where Lovejoy used his back heel to redirect the ball into the net for his third score in the five games since Bolowich burned his redshirt less than a month ago.

“Robbie’s been unbelievable this year,” senior Eddie Ababio said. “He came in, didn’t think he was going to play, got his opportunities. He’s taken full advantage of it. It’s awesome.”Having accomplished its preseason goal of winning the league outright, UNC now moves on to its next challenge — the ACC Tournament, where the Tar Heels will look to secure a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament and the home-field advantage that comes with it.UNC opens play Wednesday in the quarterfinals against either N.C. State or Virginia Tech.“There’s always stuff to improve on,” Ababio said. “So we just got to take care of ourselves, get healthy and want it.”Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Gebremariam Claims NYC Marathon Men’s Race

11:27 PM Aston , Posted in , 0 Comments

First-time marathoner Gebre Gebremariam, 26, of Ethiopia won the 2010 ING New York City Marathon world cross country champion made a decisive move in Central Park to pull away from Kenya’s Emmanuel Mutai, who was the only other survivor of an early shake-up on First Avenue.
Defending champion Meb Keflezighi of the United States finished sixth.


Gebremariam crossed the finish line at the 2010 ING NYC Marathon.


Gebremariam crosses the finish line at the 2010 ING NYC Marathon.
The drama began before the race even did, as marathon world record holder Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia started the morning by tweeting news of fluid buildup in his right knee, which had been medically drained the previous day. He called it a “small problem” and vowed to do his best.

Stiff winds on the Verrazano Narrows Bridge spoiled otherwise ideal conditions (42 degrees, dry) at the men’s elite race start time of 9:40 am. Despite vowing to run cautiously and to follow instead of leading in a pre-race interview on NBC television, Gebrselassie went straight to the front at the gun. The pace, however, was cautious so restrained that Spain’s Fabian Roncero, 40, quickly lost patience and broke ahead on his own. The move served to wake up the lead pack, which swallowed up Roncero just before the group came off the bridge into Brooklyn, passing the 1-mile mark in a dawdling 5:55.

At 2 miles Abderrahime Bouramdane of Morocco decided enough was enough and surged hard off the front. Again the lead pack responded, putting the pretenders in the bunch under pressure and ultimately causing the first big selection of the race, as only 16 men came through 5K together in 16:25. Among the survivors were Americans Keflezighi, Dathan Ritzenhein, Tim Nelson, and Jorge Torres.
A sort of détente followed over the next few miles as the leaders continued north through Brooklyn at a pace that hovered around 5:00 per mile and was comfortable for everyone. After passing 10K in 32:00, Gebrselassie led the contenders through a more aggressive subsequent 5K (14:52), but the group remained intact at 15K (46:52). The manageable pace and lighter winds encouraged the group to run five and six abreast, with Torres, Geb, and Kenya’s Emmanuel Mutai among those regularly in the front row.

Approaching the halfway point (1:05:19) on Pulaski Bridge, James Kwambai launched off the front and the real race began. Mutai was first to cover the move and eventually all but three, including Nelson, were able to catch up, but the pace remained elevated. The Queensboro Bridge into Manhattan brought more attrition, with Torres and Japan’s Arata Fujiwara falling off and Switzerland’s Viktor Rothlin dropping out.
Just shy of the 16-mile mark the inevitable happened, as Geb grimaced and stopped. The man widely regarded as the greatest runner in history was now out. Meanwhile the race went on. Mutai surged maniacally as the pack came off the bridge onto 1st Avenue. Only Bouramdane and Ethiopia’s Gebre Gebremariam survived the following 4:26 mile. But by the 18-mile mark (1:28:40) Kwambai had clawed his way back.

Instead of settling down in the shadow of the other three, Kwambai moved right through and into the lead. The new lead pack of four, from which the winner would certainly emerge, hit 20 miles at 1:38:06, continuing to hold a vicious 4:30/mile pace. Moments later Bouramdane and Kwambai succumbed to the pressure and fell away together as Mutai and Gebremariam moved shoulder to shoulder to prepare for the final fight.

The pair entered Central Park side by side, Gebremariam looking more relaxed. At 24.5 miles the Ethiopian opened a small gap almost unintentionally as the two climbed a hill and Mutai began to struggle. Seizing the opportunity, Gebremariam hit the gas and quickly built an insurmountable gap. He crossed the finish line with the sixth-fastest time in New York City Marathon history (2:08:14), 68 seconds ahead of Mutai. He is the first Ethiopian winner of the event since Tefaye Jafir in 2001.

“Nobody expected me to win,” Gebremariam said. “Even for me, I thought [just] to finish was good.”
Abderrahim Goumri of Morocco caught a second wind to take third place in 2:10:39. Kenya’s Moses Kigen Kosgei passed a fading Kwambai to grab fourth position (2:10:51).

After falling back as far as 11th and 12th place, respectively, Americans Keflezighi and Ritzenhein rallied to finish 6th (2:11:38) and 8th (2:12:33).
“I felt pretty good overall,” Keflezighi said. They just made a move on First Avenue and kept it going. That’s the marathon for you.”

Men’s soccer shuts out Oregon State

2:29 AM Aston , Posted in , 0 Comments

The men’s soccer team closed out its home season in style on Sunday, celebrating Senior Day with a decisive 3-0 victory over Oregon State. The triumph helped ease some of the pain of Friday night’s heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Washington in the rain, a defeat that likely ended Stanford’s postseason hopes.
The weekend results pushed the Cardinal’s record to 8-9-0 on the year and 4-5-0 in the Pac-10, with its final regular season game against rival California on Nov. 11.

Oregon State (6-8-0, 1-6-0 Pac-10) offered little resistance during Sunday’s game in front of a small crowd at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium. Stanford came out playing some of its most relaxed and fluid soccer of the season, which redshirt junior Garrett Gunther attributed to the new starting lineup.
“It was really easy for us, because we’ve played together for so long,” Gunther said. “We are really comfortable with each other, and we know each other’s tendencies and weaknesses, so that just makes everything simpler.”
Head coach Bret Simon started all six players from the class of 2011, as well as redshirt senior Thiago Sa Freire, and remarkably, each was more or less in his natural position.
The Cardinal wasted little time taking the lead, as the team came out firing and broke through in the fifth minute. Senior defender Ryan Thomas’s corner kick fell to senior defender Shaun Culver in the middle of the box, and Culver left the ball off for senior forward Dominique Yayhavi. Yayhavi, Stanford’s leading scorer, finished the play and tallied his sixth goal of the season.
It was only 10 minutes later that the Cardinal added to its lead with a surprising blast from Thomas. Gunther played a short ball off another corner kick that found Thomas in a little space on the right side, and the defender hit a sharply driven ball through a crowd in front of the goal. Goalie Steve Spangler could not get to it, and a sliding attempt by an Oregon State defender was too late as Thomas scored his second career goal.
Sophomore Dersu Abolfathi capped the afternoon’s scoring late in the first half, as he found himself wide open in front of the goal only to whiff on the shot, before gathering himself and slotting his second attempt past the keeper.
Stanford maintained possession for most of the first half, dominating Oregon State in almost every aspect of the game. Even though the Beavers came out with a bit more energy in the second half, the Cardinal was still the stronger side. Redshirt freshman goalie Jason Dodson made a few impressive saves before being replaced by fellow redshirt freshman Galen Perkins in the 75th minute. Perkins was able to hold down the Beaver attack, preserving the shutout for Stanford.
Dodson could not, however, keep a clean sheet Friday night against Washington (9-5-1, 3-4-0) in what would be the Cardinal’s third straight 1-0 loss and its seventh loss by one goal.
The Cardinal came out strong against a physical Washington team that had taken the first matchup of the season, 2-0 at home.
Stanford caught a huge break in the 10th minute when Washington’s Taylor Mueller was given a red card and ejected from the match, leaving the Huskies to play 80 minutes with 10 men.
Stanford sent attackers forward all night long in the rain and forced Washington into a defensive shell for most of the night. The Cardinal outshot the Huskies 12-3 in the second half, and senior defenders Cameron Lamming and Bobby Warshaw combined for nine shots. But Husky goalkeeper Richey Spencer made several key saves to keep Washington alive, and Stanford began to press a little too hard as time wound down.
In the 84th minute, the Cardinal was caught with too many men in front of the ball, and Washington made it count. Two Husky attackers combined to lead the break, and a perfectly played through-ball left Dodson helpless as senior Matt Van Houten scored his fifth goal of the season, three of which have come against the Cardinal.
“The biggest thing we took away from the game was that we have to execute on our chances,” Gunther said. “It’s kind of the story of our season. We never have played a game this year where we thought we played particularly poorly, but we lost a lot of games when we didn’t finish.”
After the loss, Simon said there wasn’t much he could tell the team.
“There’s not a whole lot you can say after a game like that. I thanked them for working hard and said we just weren’t good enough that night,” he said.
“We had a lot of chances, and we didn’t finish them, and I thought our movement with the ball wasn’t that crisp. If you leave the game hanging like that, it can sometimes be snatched away.”
The loss likely ensured that Stanford will miss the postseason for the eighth time in nine years. Even with a win in its final game, the Card would only reach a .500 record, which would probably not be enough to secure an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament field of 48 teams.
However, a game against rival Cal still remains after the upcoming bye weekend. The Cardinal will look to play the role of spoiler against the Pac-10 leader and send the senior class off with a win on Nov. 11 in Berkeley.

Stephen Fry criticised for female sex remarks and indecent tweeting

Stephen Fry

IT'S been a bad week for British actor and gay icon Stephen Fry who has been scolded for claiming women don't really enjoy sex.

He has been called the cleverest man in Britain, but even Fry’s fans must feel there are limits to his expertise.

And as one of the UK's most famous homosexuals, female sexuality is unlikely to be one of his specialist topics.

Yet 53-year-old Fry has raised eyebrows by claiming that women are unenthusiastic about sex, and see it only as "the price they are willing to pay for a relationship."
Most straight men, he added, fear that "they disgust women" and "find it difficult to believe that women are as interested in sex as they are."

Feminist writer Susie Orbach suggested the remarks said more about Fry than they do about women, and ground-breaking female journalist Rosie Boycott said he was talking "rubbish."

Fry told gay magazine Attitude that men feared that women were less interested in sex than them "for good reason."
"If women liked sex as much as men, there would be straight cruising areas in the way there are gay cruising areas," he said.
"Women would go and hang around in churchyards thinking, 'God, I’ve got to get my ******* rocks off”, or they’d go to Hampstead Heath and meet strangers to s**g behind a bush.

"It doesn’t happen. Why? Because the only women you can have sex with like that wish to be paid for it."
Fry, who hosts BBC quiz QI, added: "I feel sorry for straight men. The only reason women will have sex with them is that sex is the price they are willing to pay for a relationship with a man, which is what they want.

"Of course, a lot of women will deny this and say, 'Oh no, but I love sex, I love it!' But do they go around having it the way that gay men do?"

Feminist journalist Boycott said the claims were "rubbish", adding: "Women are just as capable as men are of enjoying sex. We don’t go cruising or cottaging on Hampstead Heath because we don’t need to.
"Women have other ways to get our thrills, and we can go and get them in bars or clubs."
Psychotherapist and writer Orbach said: "I’m really intrigued by his notion that men’s sexuality is disgusting in some way. Why would he believe that women could be so disgusted by men? Does he think there is something disgusting about sex?"

Fry has often spoken out for gay rights. He played Oscar Wilde in the 1997 movie Wilde, and a gay man dying of Aids in 1992 film Peter’s Friends.

But he has also said he was celibate from 1979 to 1995. And in his autobiography this year he said he was only "90 per cent gay" and had once been attracted to Rowan Atkinson’s wife Sunetra Sastry and his Cambridge University contemporary Caroline Oulton, now a novelist.
Nothing happened with either woman.

Fry is currently understood to be in a relationship with actor Steven Webb, 25.
Meanwhile, Fry has been scolded by the producers of the new Harry Potter movie after he posted pictures of the film set on Twitter.

Fry was shooting scenes for a sequel to Sherlock Holmes at Leavesden studios in Hertfordshire next to the set of the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows film when he took the photographs and posted them on the site.

One image showed the set of Harry's Hogwarts school in ruins after it is destroyed in the battle between Harry Potter and his enemy Lord Voldemort, The (London) Daily Telegraph reported.
The images disappeared from Fry's Twitter page not long after he had shared them with his 1.9 million followers, tweeting: "Oops. I've been sent to the naughty step…"

The following day he tweeted: "Shall be a good boy on set today. *Sticks gaffer-tape over camera lens* Heigh ho."
Producers of the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise have been tight-lipped about the movie since filming began in February 2009.

J.K. Rowling's seventh and final book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, has been split into two films. The first is due out on November 19 and the second is due for release in July next year.

Men’s basketball opens with win

2:24 AM Aston , Posted in , 0 Comments

Photo by Jamison Metzger. BYU guard Jimmer Fredette shot 6-for-6 from the field on Friday in the Cougars’ 101-55 win over Laval.

Many BYU fans expect perfection from guard Jimmer Fredette after all the preseason hype, and that’s exactly what he delivered during a 101-55 exhibition game win over Laval on Friday.
Two nights after sending the Cougar Tipoff into overtime with a last-second 3-pointer, Fredette went a perfect 6-of-6 from the field, including three 3-pointers, and didn’t turn the ball over once. Backcourt teammate Jackson Emery proved to be just as sharp with 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting in just 14 minutes played.
BYU coach Dave Rose said the play of the two seniors exceeded expectations.
“If they play like they played tonight in the short minutes that they played, we’re going to be really good,” he said. “They were the most comfortable on the floor.”
Laval started out the game with a layup by guard Beaulieu Maheux to take an early 2-0 lead, but it would be Laval’s last. The Cougars soon opened up a 22-9 lead behind the sharp shooting of captains, Fredette, Emery and forward Logan Magnusson. Following Fredette’s substitution halfway through the half, the Cougars struggled to score, only putting up six points in six minutes.
Recently returned missionaries Chris Collinsworth and Nick Martineau also seemed to struggle, as Collinsworth picked up three early fouls and Martineau missed some easy shots.
Rose said he wasn’t surprised by their struggles.
“That’s very typical,” he said. “Those two guys had very good freshman years, and then went on a mission. I’ve been in that situation where you have waited two years to play and you have so much anticipation that you need to control, and I think both of them were just a little bit sped up.”
Second-half scoring flowed more smoothly without Fredette on the floor, as BYU opened up a 76-38 lead after forward Brock Zylstra went on an 8-0 run by himself with back-to-back 3-pointers and a layup. Backup guard Kyle Collinsworth also shook defenders on a couple of occasions, bringing fans to their feet as he finished above the rim. The freshman also had two blocks and two steals that helped the Cougars pick up the tempo offensively with Fredette on the bench.
Zlystra said he could feel the team’s chemistry during the second half.
“Kyle does a great job pushing the ball and that’s why we have him in there more as a combo guard,” he said. “Everybody was looking for the extra pass, so it was an amazing thing to see everyone unselfish and giving the ball up.”
The crowd rose to its feet in anticipation of breaking the 100-point mark as Martineau stole the ball and took it down the court for a layup with 14 seconds left, capping the score at 101-55.
The highlight of the night was toward the end of the first half when center Brandon Davies passed the ball out of a double team to streaking forward Charles Abouo for a dunk, putting BYU up by 20. Abouo was literally all over the floor for the Cougars, grabbing a team-high seven rebounds, costing him a cut above the eye in a collision with a Laval player.
Zylstra said Abouo’s aggressiveness definitely has its effect.
“When you see someone trying that hard, it inspires,” Zylstra said. “We have some great guys that lead by example on this team, Charles being one of them.”
The Cougars will play their final exhibition game against BYU-Hawaii at 7 p.m. on Friday in the Marriott Center.
The regular season for BYU will begin on Nov. 12 against Fresno State in the Marriott Center.
