U.S. Men Can't Stop Italian Attack

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. – Italy used strong offense from Cristian Savani and Michal Lasko as it defeated the United States, 3-1 (20-25, 25-20, 25-22, 26-24) on Friday in an FIVB World League match before 4,310 at the Sears Centre.

Both teams now have records of 6-3; however Team USA maintains its lead in Pool A with a point lead of 18-17. The two teams will play again at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Sears Centre.

Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) paced Team USA with 16 points on 15 kills and one ace while Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) added 15 on 14 kills and one block. David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) scored 14 points on 10 kills and a match-high four blocks.

Lasko led all scorers with 18 points on a match-high 16 kills, one block and one ace. Savani added 16 on 15 kills and one ace. Italy had four players in double figures.

"Italy passed better and the definitely served better," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) said. "When you control passing and serving you are probably going to win the game."

Italy was credited with 99 percent positive receptions and 79 percent excellent. The United States was credited with 97 percent positive receptions and 63 percent excellent.

Italy converted 54 percent of its attack attempts (56/104) while Team USA converted 50 percent (51/103). Italy also had more aces (2-1) and more blocks (12-9).

"I'm disappointed with the result, obviously," Lee said. "This was a chance for us to secure the lead in Pool A… I thought we had a lot of mistakes, especially toward the end."

In tonight's programme

============================================================
NEWSNIGHT - Friday 10 July 2009 - 22.30 BST - BBC TWO
============================================================

------------------------------------------------------------
Presented by Gavin Esler
------------------------------------------------------------

From Gavin Esler:

Hello,

With more deaths of British soldiers reported in Afghanistan we will be assessing whether the UK and US are pursuing the correct strategy. Is there any alternative? And has it become the classic guerrilla war in which all the Taliban has to do to win is not to lose ... and sap the morale of the outsiders who have come to pacify them?

Peter Marshall investigates the case of Nico Bento who was convicted of murder on the basis of CCTV evidence which is now being disputed by forensic experts.

And The News of the World - what was it like working at Wapping? Richard Watson will be reporting.

And then on Newsnight Review at 11pm:

Martha is the only straight in the village on Review tonight as the playwright Mark Ravenhill, columnist Johann Hari, author Stella Duffy and fashion writer and man-about-town Henry Conway join her for a very gay Friday night Review.

As the flamboyant fashion TV host Bruno unleashes his outfits on middle America, the panel will look at whether Sacha Baron Cohen's new film critiques or panders to homophobia.

And how did he get Paula Abdul to talk about human rights while using a Mexican gardener's back as a chair?

Mark Ravenhill makes the case that recent British TV comedy has dumped political correctness in favour of jokes about gays. Is he right? Or is the ability to laugh at a community a sign of its strength?

The National Portrait Gallery's new exhibition offers up a range of faces under the headline Gay Icons from Graham Taylor and Nelson Mandela to Princess Diana and The Village People.

Is there such a thing as a gay icon in this day and age?

And we look back at the documentary Before Stonewall which shows the secret life of homosexuals in 20th Century America. Forty years on from the riots at The Stonewall Inn, which started the gay rights movement, is gay culture now mainstream?

Join us at 11pm for all that.

Also, Verizon Business is now offering to help companies analyze potential security flaws in their business applications. (5:14) Intel is working with Google on Chrome OS The world's largest chip maker is working with Google on the Chrome operating system and has been privy to the project for some time, a spokesman for the company said Friday. Microsoft admits it knew of the IE, zero-day ActiveX hole for months Microsoft this afternoon responded to accusastions that it knew about a critical IE ActiveX hole for as long as 18 months.

Korea DDOS virus mission shifts to destroying, erasing data They say what goes around comes around and on Friday owners of bot-infested PCs in South Korea will discover that's true. Was North Korea behind the DDOS attack? The cyberattacks that took down prominent U.S. and South Korean Web sites in the last week have apparently ended but the search for those responsible is only just beginning. North Korea has emerged as a likely culprit, especially among politicians, but was it really behind the attacks? News analysis: DDoS attacks highlight need to reduce government Internet access points The network attacks that severely disrupted several federal agency Web sites this week highlights the need for the government to quickly finish implementing its ongoing consolidation of Internet access points, the former de facto CIO of the federal government and others said today. Cisco charts new paths with Eos media platform It's well-known that Cisco has been branching out from its core business of selling routers and switches, but in an open-plan office overlooking San Francisco's up-and-coming Mission Bay district, the networking monolith is venturing into areas that are ambitious even for one of technology's most aggressive acquisition machines. No security in Social Security Alessandro Acquisti, associate professor of Information Technology and Public Policy at the Heinz College at Carnegie Mellon University, explains why Social Security numbers were never intended for security and why SSNs shouldn't be used as an authentication method. (10:06) Why HP ProCurve is dismantling Cisco's market share on a deal-by-deal basis I spoke on the phone today with the Vice President and General Manager of HP ProCurve - Karl Soderlund, and learned why HP ProCurve is dismantling Cisco's market share on a deal-by-deal basis, for instance: If you trade-in your Cisco equipment, HP ProCurve will take 20% off its list price. Google loves patents, applies for 30 in the past three months Not that anyone needs any more evidence that it is Google's main mission in life is to hammer Microsoft, well, to actually to become Microsoft.

With optimal brain function you will be able to remember all sorts of technical details, troubleshoot problems faster, come up with creative approaches to tough technical challenges, and help you manage the stressful life as an IT professional. You need to remember to take care of your brain to optimize your performance.

Podcast
Getting IT to Speak Business-ese (12:51 minutes)
For the most part, IT people tend to operate in their own space and
speak their own language. In many organizations, the department is
treated like its own silo, and it often doesn't report directly to the
CEO. As a result, IT is too often disconnected from the elements driving
the business. However, that reality is beginning to slowly change.
http://www.ectnews.com/shared/audio/ect-gardner-2009-07-06.mp3

Today's Story Highlights

Shifting Clouds
The initial success and rapid growth of cloud computing is attracting a
"cloud rush" of players twisting the original concept to suit their
proprietary purposes and confusing IT and business decision-makers in
the process. This proliferation process is also accelerating the
inevitable shakeout of various startups.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/67557.html

LexisNexis Makes CRM App More Relationship-Savvy
LexisNexis is enhancing its customer relationship management product,
InterAction CRM, with its version of social networking functionality.
Called "InterAction IQ," the tool delves into the CRM app and the
Exchange Server to establish which users have relationships with certain
clients or prospective clients, and then rates those relationships as to
their strength.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/67560.html

Tagged.com to Get Slapped With Lawsuit
New York's attorney general charged Thursday that Tagged.com stole the
identities of more than 60 million Internet users worldwide -- by
sending emails that raided their private accounts. Andrew Cuomo said he
plans to sue the social networking Web site for deceptive marketing and
invasion of privacy.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/67562.html

Obama Administration Plows Ahead With Controversial E-Verify Program
Despite strong opposition from business groups and a lawsuit, the Obama
administration is making E-Verify, an online verification program,
mandatory for businesses working with the federal government. Department
of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Wednesday announced
support for the program, which lets businesses check employees' work
status online.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/67556.html

Kindle 2 Price Cut May Not Be Kind Enough
Maybe Amazon's dreams of beaches filled with summer readers clicking on
Kindles instead of riffling through a James Patterson or Clive Cussler
page-turner didn't quite pan out. Or maybe economic stimulus funds
haven't trickled down far enough to get recession-weary consumers
thinking of e-book readers as must-have purchases.

Today's Story Highlights

Jackson Memorial Brought Out Worst in Networks, Best in Web
On June 25th, many Americans learned about the death of Michael Jackson
from the Internet. They had already learned how to use social networks
to share that information -- and their grief -- with others, far
outpacing traditional television media. Apparently, the three main
broadcast works didn't learn anything from that day.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/67558.html

Little MacBook That Could, Batteries That Can't, Touch That Might
The Apple-focused blogosphere is still chugging along, even as the
summer sun starts pounding down. While Apple's new MacBooks have been
getting good reviews for the long lives of their built-in batteries, the
iPhone still isn't getting battery raves. More and more users seem to be
using external battery packs to give their iPhones a new boost of juice.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/67561.html

10 Things for Linux Desktop Evangelists to Ponder
This is the year of the Linux Desktop! Oh, um, so was `expr ${THISYEAR}
- 1`. No, wait. It was `expr ${THISYEAR} - 2`. Just kidding. Next year
is the year of the Linux Desktop! Of course, many continue to dream and
hope, cajole, and demand that one of these years be the year of the
Linux Desktop. I'm a big fan, and I'm pulling for Linux's success, but
it's a complex formula that determines if and when.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/67559.html

Audit Shows Many Classified DoS Laptops Are MIA or Insecure
Nearly a decade after a Department of State laptop containing highly
classified information disappeared in an embarrassing security lapse,
the agency is still unable to account for all of its portable computers.
The State Department's inspector general said a review of a sample of
334 laptops belonging to four departmental bureaus found that 27 were
missing at the time of the audit.

Google's Chrome OS: A Wispy Desktop Adversary?
Google's announcement of a Chrome operating system, coming just nine
months after its launch of the Chrome browser, has the tech sector
buzzing over the possibilities. Google is targeting netbooks, claiming
to have agreements with several OEMs already inked. How will the option
of a Chrome OS be received by the desktop-using masses? Are they ready
for a cloud-based PC experience?

The Guardian has accused the News of the World of breaking the law by using private investigators to tap phones belonging to MPs, celebrities and leading figures in the sporting world. It alleges that the newspaper has paid out £1 million to settle legal cases.

At the heart of the story is the issue of privacy and the question over what the difference is between a story in the public interest and stories that the public find nteresting.

Panorama's recent look at the question of privacy delved into the world of litigation and asked whether Britain's privacy laws are limiting press freedom.

In The Death of Kiss and Tell, Clive Goodman reported on the impact high profile cases, often involving celebrities and the tabloid press, have had on curbing the press' right to tell stories over an individual's right to privacy.

POLICE AND PROTEST

The G8 have been meeting in Italy this week. Read about it on the BBC News website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8141715.stm

The last time the Italians played host to the summit, in 2001, riots resulted in the death of one protester in clashes with police in which hundreds were injured.

When the G20 came to London earlier this year the police seem prepared for any potential violence, but although the demonstrations were mainly peaceful, questions have since been raised about the Met's tactics on the day.

In Monday's programme, Panorama looked into the landscape of protest around the country following concerns about the G20 and asked, are people still free to take to the streets?

Speaking to campaigners from all backgrounds, from retired scientists to students, the programme exposed a creeping use of police surveillance powers to monitor lawful protests and those involved in campaigning.

Despite the diversity of the issues being campaigned about, all reported concerns over what they saw as a threat to their democratic right to protest, a charge strongly denied by the police.

BACK IN THE NEWS

This week has seen a roll call of deaths for military personnel operating in Afghanistan in the latest operation involving the British army.

Seven men have lost their lives in the last week in the assault against the Taliban. You can read about this on the BBC News website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8139858.stm.

Just this month, Panorama reporter John Sweeney was across the border in Pakistan where the country's army are fighting a similar battle against the Taliban in Swat Valley.

He travelled with the Pakistani army to the frontline of their attack, where he came under fire in the very real and dangerous battle the Pakistani's say they have to win to prevent civil war.

You can watch the programme on the Panorama website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/panorama/hi/the_team/newsid_8132000/8132805.stm, where you can also find more information on
John's visit to Swat.

COMING UP: TORTURE CHARGES

Panorama has spent several months investigating the use of torture against terrorist suspects held by the UK.

Monday's programme will see the fruits of that investigation with reporter Hilary Andersson uncovering evidence that will fuel the debate on whether interrogators, lawyers or politicians should face charges for sanctioning interrogation techniques that may have broken international
law.

Licence to Torture is on Monday 13 July, BBC One at 8.30pm.

PANORAMA CALL OUT

Are migrants jumping the queue?

We are told that there is no bias in favour of migrants in the current social housing waiting list system. Is that true or do you know different?

The BBC would like to hear from people who have experience of social housing following a report from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission which said there is no evidence that new arrivals in the UK can jump the queue.

It has been a campaign issue for the British National Party and the government has said it will change policy in favour of local people. So is the belief that migrants get favourable treatment a myth?

Whether you've been on the receiving end of unfairness or are at the decision making end working for a local authority social housing provider, we'd like to hear from you.

If you are interested in telling us your story, email panorama@bbc.co.uk with the word HOUSING in the subject heading.

Your details will not be published but you might be contacted by a BBC researcher, so please remember to include a phone number or email address.

That's all for this week but you can keep up to date with Panorama on our website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/panorama/hi/default.stm.

This Weekend on BBC Sport

------------------------------------------------------------
WAYNE GRADY ON THE SCOTTISH OPEN
------------------------------------------------------------

We are all enjoying a great start to the Scottish Open here at Loch
Lomond, which for me is the best inland course in Great Britain and may
even be one of the best in the world.

You can't help but enjoy being at this magnificent setting, especially
when scoring has been this good.

Australia's Adam Scott has been circling near the top of the leaderboard
and it's great to see his form returning.

He has slipped to 43rd in the world rankings and if you look at his
statistics you can see how badly his game has dipped.

Every stat is down: driving accuracy, greens in regulation, putting. It
is no surprise he hasn't been doing well.

Hopefully this will prove to be the turnaround and it will start off a
good second half of the season.

His new girlfriend, tennis star Ana Ivanovic, has been by his side this
week, so no wonder he has a smile on his face.

He is going to have a battle on his hands dealing with South Africa's
Retief Goosen though.

We all know what the Goose can do - he holds the course record here and
his putter seems to be working again.

Watch out for Nick Watney this weekend. A lot of good things are being
said about him in America and he is a very exciting young player.

After Sunday's final round we head to Turnberry for the 138th Open
Championship.

I played there in 1994 and it's my favourite course on the Open rota. It
is a good, solid, honest course and the setting is wonderful.

Outside of Tiger Woods, the field is wide open so it should be a great
tournament.

Enjoy your weekend.

Open for the BBC. <b>

"In the space of two years, Cisco has taken the pinnacle of the Cisco cert space - the CCIE - and added another cert billed as equivalent for Design issues (CCDE), and then made a new pinnacle to the cert pyramid - the new Cisco Certified Architect."
