Liberty rally for 75-68 win over Mystics

Posted: at 9:12 am

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Trailing by nine points with about nine minutes remaining, a loss to last place Washington could have dealt a serious blow to the New York Liberty's playoff chances.

However, thanks to Cappie Pondexter, Nicole Powell and some stifling defense, the Liberty remain in control of their future.

Pondexter had 30 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, and 11 rebounds as the Liberty rallied to beat the Mystics 75-68.

''Defense is our key,'' Liberty coach John Whisenant said. ''And Cappie. She's been awesome. She's our MVP and the most important player to her team of anybody in the league.''

Powell scored 10 of her 18 points in the fourth quarter as well and Essence Carson added 15 points as New York (14-17) won its third straight.

The Liberty retained a one game lead over Chicago for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Sky beat Phoenix 86-55.

Jasmine Thomas scored 16 points (on 7-of-11 shooting) and Monique Currie had 12 to lead the Washington (5-27), which has lost 11 straight.

''I think we played a tough game. We fought through until the end,'' Currie said. ''They executed better than we did. They made some tough shots, some big shots.''

After Washington scored the first four points of the fourth quarter to take a 56-49 lead, Pondexter scored the first six of an 8-0 run by the Liberty. The Mystics pushed the lead to 63-58 with 4:36 left and New York called timeout.

''When it looked like they could take over the game with about four minutes left, we had a time out, talked about it, and regrouped,'' Pondexter said.

Posted: at 9:11 am

Shortly after his performance onSaturday Night Live,Frank Ocean let loose the official video for "Pyramids" off of his channel ORANGE album. Clocking in at about eight minutes, it's more like a short film that sees Ocean riding a motorcycle through the desert and stopping into a strip club where he gets trippy and dancers start looking almost demonic.

What, you thoughtall strippers looked fine?John Mayer cameo getting his Carlos Santana on, too. Watch the whole thing if you're an Illuminati conspiracy theorist.

Also, always wear your helmet, folks. Check out the Nabil directed video for "Pyramids" after the break.

3 space station astronauts return to Earth tonight

Posted: September 16, 2012 at 10:15 pm

Three astronauts are preparing to leave the International Space Station tonight (Sept. 16), returning to Earth after a four-month stay aboard the huge orbiting lab.

A Soyuz spacecraft carrying NASA astronaut Joe Acaba and Russian cosmonauts Gennady Padalka and Sergei Revin is slated to undock from the space station at 7:09 p.m. EDT (2309 GMT) Sunday and land in the steppes of Kazakhstan nearly four hours later, at 10:53 p.m. EDT (0253 GMT Monday).

The astronauts' departure will bring the space station's Expedition 32 to a close. Padalka commands the expedition, while Acaba and Revin serve as flight engineers. Padalka will hand the orbiting lab's reins over to NASA's Sunita Williams, commander of the new Expedition 33.

Expedition 33 will be a three-person operation for about a month. Williams, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and Japanese spaceflyer Akihiko Hoshide will have the station to themselves until mid-October, when the arrival of three new astronauts will bring the $100 billion orbiting complex back up to its full complement of six crewmates.

Space news from NBCNews.com

Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: NASA's Opportunity rover has found a new kind of geological "berry" on Mars that has the experts scratching their heads ... and licking their chops.

Acaba, Padalka and Revin launched toward the station on May 14 and arrived three days later. They were originally scheduled to blast off in late March, but a botched pressure test cracked their Soyuz capsule, forcing a six-week delay while a new spacecraft was prepared.

The astronauts' four-month stint marked the first long-term stay aboard the orbiting lab for both Acaba and Revin. Padalka, however, had lived on the station for long durations during two previous missions.

Acaba, Padalka and Revin got to be part of history shortly after they first floated through the space station's hatch. They were there to welcome SpaceX's robotic Dragon capsule, which on May 25 became the first private spacecraft ever to visit the 430-ton orbiting complex.

Dragon's historic flight was a demonstration mission, to see if the capsule and SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket are ready to begin a series of 12 contracted supply runs to the station for NASA. Everything went well, and the first of these bona fide cargo missions is likely to blast off next month.

Female astronaut takes command of space station

Posted: at 10:15 pm

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, who holds the record for the longest spaceflight by a woman, took charge of the International Space Station Saturday, becoming only the second female commander in the orbiting lab's 14-year history.

Williams took charge of the space station from Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, who is returning to Earth on Sunday after months commanding the outpost's six-person Expedition 32 crew. Williams launched to the station in July and will command its Expedition 33 crew before returning to Earth in November.

"I would like to thank our [Expedition] 32 crewmates here who have taught us how to live and work in space, and of course to have a lot of fun up in space," Williams told Padalka during a change of command ceremony. She will officially take charge of the station on Sunday, after Padalka and two crewmates board their Soyuz spacecraft for the trip home.

Padalka, NASA astronaut Joe Acaba and cosmonaut Sergei Revin are scheduled to undock from the space station Sunday at 7:09 p.m. EDT (2309 GMT) and land in the Central Asian steppes of Kazakhstan at 10:53 p.m. EDT (0253 on Sept. 17). The trio is wrapping up a five-month mission to the space station and Padalka thanked his crewmates and flight controllers on the ground for their help during the flight.

Space news from NBCNews.com

Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: NASA's Opportunity rover has found a new kind of geological "berry" on Mars that has the experts scratching their heads ... and licking their chops.

Sunita Williams arrived at the space station on July 17 on a Soyuz spacecraft with two crewmates: Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko. They will be joined by three new crewmembers in October.

Williams, 46, is a captain in the U.S. Navy and flying on her second long-duration space mission. She first launched into space in 2007 and spent 195 consecutive days in space, setting a record for the longest single spaceflight by a female astronaut. On Sept. 19, she'll celebrate her birthday in space.

In a NASA interview before launch, Williams said a friend asked her if she was nervous about commanding the space station. She said no, adding that the more than two years of training alongside her Expedition 32 and 33 crewmates, as well as the Mission Control team, prepared all the space station crewmembers for life in space.

"When you get up on the space station, you know what to do, so Im not nervous about it all," Williams said. "Im psyched."

No Assange DNA on torn condom – report

Posted: at 10:15 pm

Embassy asylum ... Julian Assange. Photo: AP

LONDON: Forensic experts have failed to find crucial DNA evidence in the sexual assault case against Julian Assange, a British newspaper has reported.

In a 100-page document shown to lawyers for the WikiLeaks founder, Swedish police made a case for the 41-year-old's extradition to Stockholm for questioning.

The report said staff at two forensic laboratories were unable to find conclusive evidence of Mr Assange's DNA on a torn condom provided by one of two women who claim to have been assaulted in August 2010.

However, the same analysts have found DNA believed to belong to Mr Assange on a condom from a second woman, The Mail on Sunday reports.

Mr Assange denies any wrongdoing and says sex with the two women was consensual.

He remains in London's Ecuadorean embassy in a bid to avoid Swedish extradition, which he insists would lead to him being handed to authorities in the US, where the actions of his website are under investigation.

The Swedish police report said one woman, now age 33, claims she was repeatedly molested by Mr Assange at her flat in Stockholm. She said he deliberately broke a condom before wearing it to have unprotected sex with her against her will.

Scientists were unable to find Mr Assange's DNA on the condom and his lawyers suggest that is because a fake one may have been submitted, the newspaper said.

Missing DNA evidence in Assange case

Posted: at 10:15 pm

Forensic experts have failed to find crucial DNA evidence in the sexual assault case against Julian Assange, a British newspaper reports.

In a 100-page document shown to lawyers for the Australian WikiLeaks founder, Swedish police outlined their basis for seeking the 41-year-old's extradition to Stockholm to face questioning.

However, the same analysts have found DNA believed to belong to Mr Assange on a condom provided by a second woman, The Mail on Sunday reported.

Mr Assange denies any wrongdoing and says sex with the two women was consensual.

He remains holed up in London's Ecuadorian embassy in a bid to avoid Swedish extradition, which he insists would lead to him being handed to authorities in the United States, where the actions of his secret-leaking website are under investigation.

The Swedish police report said that one woman, now aged 33, claims she was repeatedly molested by Mr Assange at her flat in Stockholm, adding on one occasion he deliberately broke a condom before wearing it to have unprotected sex with her against her will.

Scientists were unable to find traces of Mr Assange's DNA on the condom and his lawyers suggest that is because a fake one may have been submitted, the tabloid reports.

Mr Assange, who has been granted asylum by Ecuador, is yet to be formally charged with any offence by Swedish authorities.

Last season of 'The Office' starts Thursday

Posted: at 10:14 pm

To see a promo of The Office.

"When we started there didn't seem like there was room for a show like this on NBC because the biggest show on NBC I think when we started was 'Will & Grace' and it was a multi-camera world," said showrunner Greg Daniels during a recent teleconference.

The half-hour comedy, pitched to the American public as a mockumentary, is a TV show as seen through the eyes of a documentary film crew capturing the everyday lives of workers at the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. in Scranton, Pa. To achieve that effect, it was shot with a single camera. There is no studio audience and no laugh track.

"And I kind of feel like we somewhat forced our way into the world through just creative excitement over the cast and the different way of storytelling," said Daniels, who executive produced the show for its first five seasons, left to take over "Parks and Recreation" on the same network and is returning for the ninth and final season, which starts Thursday on channel 2, cable 9.

For its final season, Daniels said, the production company is bringing back 15 veteran cast members (no word on whether Carell is included) and tying up loose ends.

This year will be different and "very arc heavy," said Daniels, who adapted Ricky Gervais' British series for American TV.

"For one thing I feel like the last few years we didn't do arcs so much. We were pursuing more episodic comedy. But I think the real heart of the show are these arcs that allow the characters to have ongoing stories. ... It is all going to be set up in the premiere, but there is so much payoff from nine seasons for so many great characters that my biggest concern is just packing in these great ideas ... and making sure that we hit all of them or at least squeeze in as many as we can into the ending."

Fans will also finally get answers to their documentary questions.

"People are always asking, 'Why are they still filming? What are they after?' I think we are going to explore that for comedy and for story effect."

Daniels also provided some spoilers for the final season.
