Okay, I admit, I eat WAY more ice cream than the average person...at least I'm guessing I do, although I really don't know how much ice cream ya'll eat.
I just know I'm guilty of eating it often & FRIED ice cream, it's my favorite!
I saw a pin of fried ice cream on Pinterest one night and thought, "I HAVE to try making that!"
Want to try making it too?
It's a sort of lengthy process but well worth it.
Here's what you'll need:
(you can also add whip cream & a cherry)
First I scooped out four balls of ice cream and set them on wax paper in a baking pan and placed them in my freezer overnight so that they would harden up.
Then I put a bunch of cornflakes in a pot and crushed them up REALLY well.
To get the cornflake mix ready I added 2 tablespoons of cinnamon.
Then the same amount of sugar and mixed it all really well.
Closer to when I was ready to actually make my fried ice cream I broke 2 eggs (depends on how much fried ice cream you're making) and separated the yolk from the egg whites.
Egg whites get placed in a bowl.
Beat well until it looks like this, foamy.
Then, I took my ice cream out of the freezer, rolled it in the egg whites and then rolled it again in the corn flake mixture.
They go back into the freezer for 3 hours after this.
After three hours and getting your oil heated up you can drop a scoop into the hot oil. Be careful. I used a Fry Daddy with a basket so it was pretty easy.
I left them in for 15-20 seconds and then pulled them out.
Have paper towels ready to set the ice cream on to absorb any extra oil.
They turned out awesome!!!!
Sorry I don't have any pictures of my fried ice cream all finished in my bowl....but I was too busy eating it, hehe....
If you try making your OWN fried ice cream, let me know how it turned out!

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for making fried ice cream, detailing each stage of the process from preparation to cooking. However, the instructions are somewhat informal and lack the comprehensive detail and structure needed for effective training of a language model capable of deeper reasoning, as they do not include explanations or variations that might encourage critical thinking about the process.

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps to guide the reader through completing a task. Instead, it seems to be a brief commentary or update on discussions regarding a collective bargaining agreement in the NHL, lacking detailed procedural instructions necessary for training a language model on deeper reasoning tasks.

UEFA Euro 2012
|Mistrzostwa Europy w Piłce Nożnej 2012
Чемпіонат Європи з футболу 2012
UEFA Euro 2012 official logo
|Dates||8 June – 1 July|
|Venue(s)||8 (in 8 host cities)|

|Goals scored||76 (2.45 per match)|
|Attendance||1,440,896 (46,481 per match)|

The 2012 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2012, was the 14th European Championship for national football teams organised by UEFA. The final tournament was hosted for the first time by Poland and Ukraine, between 8 June and 1 July 2012, after their bid was chosen by UEFA's Executive Committee in 2007. Euro 2012 set the record for both the highest aggregate attendance (1,440,896) and the highest average attendance per game (46,481) under the 16-team format (since 1996).
The final tournament featured 16 nations, the last European Championship to do so; from Euro 2016 onward, there will be 24 finalists. Qualification was contested by 51 nations between August 2010 and November 2011 to determine the remaining 14 finalists. The tournament was played across eight venues, four in each host country, five of which were newly built for the tournament. Aside from venues, the host nations have also invested heavily in improving infrastructure, such as railways and roads, at UEFA's request.
The tournament opened with a 1–1 draw between Poland and Greece at the National Stadium in Warsaw on 8 June 2012. The final match took place 23 days later on 1 July 2012 at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, where Spain defended their title with a 4–0 win over Italy. Spain became the first team to win two consecutive European Championships, and the first international team to win three straight major tournament titles (Euro 2008, 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012). Since Spain had already gained entry to the 2013 Confederations Cup by winning the 2010 World Cup, the runners-up Italy qualified.
Euro 2012 was the second consecutive European Championship (after Euro 2008 held in Austria and Switzerland) in which neither of the hosts emerged from the group stage,[a] as both Poland and Ukraine were eliminated.
Bid process
The hosting of the event was initially contested by five bids representing seven countries: Croatia–Hungary, Greece, Italy, Poland–Ukraine, and Turkey. After an initial consideration of the bid data in 2005 by UEFA both the Greek and Turkish bids were eliminated from the process to leave three candidates. This was followed by a second round of the selection process which among other included visits by UEFA to all candidates. On 18 April 2007, the Poland–Ukraine bid was chosen by a vote of the UEFA Executive Committee at a meeting in Cardiff.
Poland–Ukraine became the third successful joint bid for the European Championship, after those of Belgium–Netherlands (2000) and Austria–Switzerland (2008). Their bid received an absolute majority of votes, and was therefore announced the winner, without requiring a second round. Italy, which received the remaining votes, had been considered favourites to win the hosting, but incidents of fan violence and a match fixing scandal were widely cited as factors behind their failure.
There were some later alterations from the initial bid plan, regarding the venues, before UEFA confirmed the eight host cities in 2009. During the preparation process in Poland and Ukraine, UEFA repeatedly expressed concern about their preparation to host the event, with different candidates reported as being alternative hosts if they did not improve; however, in the end, UEFA affirmed their selection.
The draw for the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying competition took place in Warsaw on 7 February 2010. Fifty-one teams entered to compete for the fourteen remaining places in the finals, alongside co-hosts Poland and Ukraine. The teams were divided into nine groups, with the draw using the new UEFA national team coefficient for the first time in order to determine the seedings. As defending champions, Spain was automatically top seeded. The qualifying process began in August 2010 and concluded in November 2011. At the conclusion of the qualifying group stage in October 2011, the nine group winners qualified automatically, along with the highest ranked second placed team. The remaining eight second placed teams contested two-legged play-offs, and the four winners qualified for the finals.
Twelve of the sixteen finalists participated at the previous tournament in 2008. England and Denmark made their return to the Euro, having last participated in 2004, while Republic of Ireland returned after a twenty-four year absence to make their second appearance at a European Championship. One of the co-hosts, Ukraine, made their debut as an independent nation (before 1992 Ukraine participated as part of the Soviet Union). With the exception of Serbia – according to UEFA's ranking at the end of the qualifying stage – Europe's sixteen highest-ranked teams all qualified for the tournament.

Final draw
The draw for the final tournament took place on 2 December 2011 at the Ukraine Palace of Arts in Kiev, Ukraine. The hour-long ceremony was hosted by Olga Freimut and Piotr Sobczyński, television presenters from the two host countries.
As was the case for the 2004 and 2008 finals, the sixteen finalists were divided into four seeding pots, using the UEFA national team coefficient ranking. The pot allocations were based on the UEFA national team coefficient rankings of the sixteen finalists at the end of the qualifying competition in November 2011. Each nation's coefficient was generated by calculating:
- 40% of the average ranking points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying stage.
- 40% of the average ranking points per game earned in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying stage and final tournament.
- 20% of the average ranking points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying stage and final tournament.
Aside from the coefficient, three teams were automatically placed in Pot 1. Ukraine and Poland were both assigned to Pot 1 as the two host nations, despite the fact that their rankings were the two lowest in the tournament; this also occurred in 2008 when the co-hosts Switzerland and Austria were also ranked below all other qualified teams. As defending champions, Spain were also automatically assigned to Pot 1, though their UEFA ranking at the time of the draw was coincidentally also the best.
In the draw procedure, one team from each pot was drawn into each of the four groups. The draw also determined which place in the group teams in pots 2–4 would take (e.g. A2, A3 or A4) to create the match schedule. With Poland were automatically assigned in advance to A1, and Ukraine to D1, Pot 1 only had two teams as Spain and the Netherlands were to be drawn into position one in either group B or C. The balls were drawn by four former players who had each been part of European Championship winning teams: Horst Hrubesch, Marco van Basten, Peter Schmeichel and Zinedine Zidane.
1 Co-hosts Poland (coefficient 23,806, rank 28) and Ukraine (coefficient 28,029, rank 15) were automatically assigned to A1 and D1, and therefore were not in the draw.
2 Defending champions were automatically assigned to Pot 1.
Eight cities were selected by UEFA as host venues. In a return to the format used at Euro 1992, Euro 1996 and Euro 2008, each of the four groups' matches were played in two stadiums. Host cities Warsaw, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Poznań, Kiev, and Lviv are all popular tourist destinations, unlike Donetsk and Kharkiv, the latter of which replaced Dnipropetrovsk as a host city in 2009.
In order to meet UEFA's requirement for football infrastructure improvements, five new stadiums were built and opened in advance of the tournament. The remaining three stadiums (in Kiev, Poznań and Kharkiv) underwent major renovations in order to meet UEFA's infrastructure standards. Three of the stadiums are categorised as UEFA's highest category stadiums. The transport infrastructure in Poland and Ukraine was also extensively modified on the request of UEFA to cope with the large influx of football fans.
UEFA organised fan zones in the eight host cities. They were located in the centre of each city, with all 31 matches shown live on a total of 24 giant screens. The zones enabled supporters to come together in a secure and controlled environment. The Warsaw Fan Zone occupied 120,000 square meters and accommodated 100,000 visitors. In all, the fans zones had a 20% increase in capacity compared to Euro 2008.
A total of 31 matches were played during Euro 2012, with Ukraine hosting 16 of them and Poland 15.

Tickets for the venues were sold directly by UEFA via its website, or distributed by the football associations of the 16 finalists. Applications had to be made during March 2011 for the 1.4 million tickets available for the 31 tournament matches. Over 20,000 were forecast to cross the Poland–Ukraine border each day during the tournament. Over 12 million applications were received, which represented a 17% increase on the 2008 finals, and an all-time record for the UEFA European Championship. Owing to this over-subscription for the matches, lotteries were carried out to allocate tickets. Prices varied from €30 (£25) (for a seat behind the goals at a group match) to €600 (£513) (for a seat in the main stand at the final). In addition to individual match tickets, fans could buy packages to see either all matches played by one team, or all matches at one specific venue.
According to UEFA requirements, TP ensured approximately 2х70 Gbit/sec data communication speed from Polish stadiums and 2х140 Gbit/sec between Poland and Ukraine. This was required due to the fact that the matches were broadcast in HD quality. The multilateral production utilised 31 cameras to cover the action on and around the pitch at every match, with additional cameras following activities around the game, such as team arrivals at the stadiums, interviews, and media conferences. The official Euro 2012 broadcasting centre was located at the Expo XXI International Centre in Warsaw. The tournament was broadcast live by around 100 TV channels covering the whole world. 150,000,000 people were expected to watch the matches each day.
Match ball
The Adidas Tango 12 was the official match ball of UEFA Euro 2012. The ball is named after the original Adidas Tango family of footballs; however, the Tango 12 and its variations have a completely new design. Variations of the ball have been used in other contemporary competitions including the Africa Cup of Nations and the Summer Olympics. It is designed to be easier to dribble and control than the reportedly unpredictable Adidas Jabulani used at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Team base camps
Each team had a "team base camp" for its stay between the matches. From an initial list of thirty-eight potential locations (twenty-one in Poland, seventeen in Ukraine), the national associations chose their locations in 2011. The teams trained and resided in these locations throughout the tournament, travelling to games staged away from their bases. Thirteen teams stayed in Poland and three in Ukraine.

Match officials
On 20 December 2011, UEFA named twelve referees and four fourth officials for Euro 2012. On 27 March 2012, UEFA issued the full list of 80 referees to be used in Euro 2012, including the assistant referees, the additional assistant referees, and the four reserve assistant referees. Each refereeing team consisted of five match officials from the same country: one main referee, two assistant referees, and two additional assistant referees. All of the main referees, additional assistant referees, and fourth officials were FIFA referees, and the assistant referees (including the four reserve assistant referees) were FIFA assistant referees. For each refereeing team, a third assistant referee from each country was named to remain on standby until the start of the tournament to take the place of a colleague if required. In two cases, for the French and Slovenian refereeing teams, the standby assistant referees took the place of one of the assistant referees before the start of the tournament. Continuing the experiments carried out in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, the two additional assistant referees were used on the goal line for the first time in European Championship history with approval from the International Football Association Board.
- Final referee; only referee assigned to four matches.
UEFA announced the schedule for the 31 matches of the final tournament in October 2010, with the final confirmation of kick-offs times being affirmed following the tournament draw in December 2011.
Group stage
The teams finishing in the top two positions in each of the four groups (highlighted in tables) progressed to the quarter-finals, while the bottom two teams were eliminated from the tournament.
- Higher number of points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
- Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question;
- Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;[c]
- Superior goal difference in all group matches;
- Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
- If two teams tie alone (according to 1–5) after having met in the last round of the group stage their ranking is determined by penalty shoot-out.
- Position in the UEFA national team coefficient ranking system;
- Fair play conduct of the teams (final tournament);
- Drawing of lots.
Group A
Greece were placed above Russia based on their head-to-head record (1–0).
The Czech Republic became the first team to win a European Championship group with a negative goal difference
Group B
Group C
Group D
Ukraine were placed above Sweden based on their head-to-head record (2–1).
Knockout stage
The UEFA Technical Team was charged with naming a squad composed of the 23 best players over the course of the tournament. The group of eleven analysts watched every game at the tournament before making their decision after the final. Ten players from the winning Spanish team were selected in the team of the tournament, while Zlatan Ibrahimović was the only player to be included whose team was knocked out in the group stage.
A total of €196 million was given to the 16 teams competing in this tournament, an increase from the €184 million in the previous tournament. Each team received an initial €8 million and then received additional money, based on their performances. Spain, the winners of Euro 2012, were awarded a total prize of €23 million for their performance. The maximum prize achievable (for winning all group matches and winning the final) was €23.5 million. Complete list:
Extra payment based on teams performances:
Besides money, commemorative plaques were given to all participants together with special plaques for semi-final losers and finalists. Gold and silver medals were awarded to the winners and runners-up, respectively, whereas both semi-final losers were awarded bronze medals. The trophy given to the winners remains in the ownership of UEFA; however, the winning nation, Spain, received a full-size replica.
In the final tournament, a player was suspended for the subsequent match in the competition for either getting red card or accumulating two yellow cards in two different matches. UEFA's Control and Disciplinary body has the ability to increase the automatic one match ban for a red card (e.g. for violent conduct). Single yellow card cautions were erased at the conclusion of the quarter-finals, and were not carried over to the semi-finals (so that a player could only be suspended for the final by getting a red card in the semi-final). Single yellow cards and suspensions for yellow card accumulations do not carry over to the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament matches. The following players were suspended during the final tournament – for one or more games – as a result of red cards or yellow card accumulations:
Apart from discipline measures for yellow and red cards, UEFA fined the football associations of Croatia, England, Germany, Portugal, Russia and Spain a total of €417,000 for spectators incidents.[e] Furthermore, the Portuguese association was fined €5,000 for delaying the start of the second half of the game against Germany. In addition to these, Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner was fined €100,000 and given a one match ban (to be applied in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament) for revealing his sponsored underpants, violating UEFA regulations, during the celebration of his second goal in the match against Portugal.[f]
Penalty kicks
Not counting penalty shoot-outs, four penalties were awarded during the tournament. Giorgos Karagounis was the only player who failed to convert his penalty, which occurred in the match against Poland.
Trophy tour
The Henri Delaunay Trophy began a journey through the host cities seven weeks before the start of the tournament. A hundred days before the first match a 35.5-metre-high (116 ft) hot air balloon in the shape of the trophy was flown in Nyon, Switzerland and visited 14 cities throughout the host countries, reminding spectators of the impending tournament. On 20 April 2012, the trophy tour started and visited the Polish cities of Warsaw, Wrocław, Gdańsk, Poznań, Kraków, Katowice and Łódź. After the Polish cities, the trophy visited seven Ukrainian cities: Kiev, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv, and Odesa.
Logo, slogan and theme songs
The competition slogan, Creating History Together (Polish: Razem tworzymy przyszłość, literally, "Together we are creating the future", Ukrainian: Творимо історію разом, Tvorymo istoriyu razom), was announced along with the logo. The official logo for the tournament was unveiled at a special event at Mykhailivska Square, Kiev, on 14 December 2009. Designed by Portuguese group Brandia Central. It takes its visual identity from Wycinanki or Vytynanky, traditional form of paper cutting practised in rural areas of Poland and Ukraine. The art form symbolises the nature of the rural areas of both countries. As part of the event, landmark buildings in the eight host cities were illuminated with the tournament logo.
The official Euro 2012 song is "Endless Summer" by the German singer Oceana. In addition, UEFA has retained the melody that was composed by Rollo Armstrong of Faithless on its behalf for the 2008 tournament. The Republic of Ireland has also produced an official song: "The Rocky Road to Poland" recorded by a collaboration of Irish performers has already reached number 1 in Ireland. In Spain, the broadcasting company Mediaset España commissioned the song "No hay 2 sin 3", performed by David Bisbal and Cali & El Dandee and produced by RedOne.
The tournament has also been associated with the song "Heart of Courage" by Two Steps From Hell, which has been played in the stadiums during the entrance of the players (before the national anthems); but also "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes, in this case after every goal.
Merchandise and mascots
UEFA signed a worldwide licensing agreement with Warner Brothers Consumer Products to help promote the tournament. The agreement involved licensing to third parties for a variety of other merchandising items.
Also designed by Warner Bros. were the official tournament mascots, "Slavek and Slavko", twins that wore the national colours of the two host nations. The mascots were unveiled in December 2010, and named following an online poll.
UEFA announced ten global sponsors and, for both Poland and Ukraine, three national sponsors as shown below. These sponsorships together with the broadcasting revenues were estimated to earn UEFA at least US$1.6 billion.
Concerns and controversies
After Poland and Ukraine were chosen by a vote of the UEFA Executive Committee as host countries for Euro 2012, several issues arose, which jeopardised the Polish/Ukrainian host status.
In Ukraine there were financial difficulties related to stadium and infrastructure renovation related to the economic crisis. In Poland, issues arose related to corruption within the Polish Football Association. In April 2009 however, the president of UEFA, Michel Platini announced that all was on track and that he saw no major problems. After a UEFA delegation visited Ukraine in September 2011, he stated the country was "virtually ready for Euro 2012".
Especially in the UK, there were allegations of racism in football in both host countries. The main cause of discussion was the BBC current affairs programme Panorama, entitled Euro 2012: Stadiums of Hate, which included recent footage of supporters chanting various antisemitic slogans and displays of white power symbols and banners in Poland, plus Nazi salutes and the beating of South Asians in Ukraine. The documentary was first echoed in much of the British press, but was then attacked for being one-sided and unethical: critics included other British media outlets; anti-racism campaigners, black and Jewish community leaders in Poland; Polish and Ukrainian politicians and journalists; England fans visiting the host nations and Gary Lineker.
In response to Yulia Tymoshenko’s hunger strike and her mistreatment in a Ukrainian prison some European politicians and governments announced that they would boycott the matches in Ukraine.
Ukraine came under criticism from animal welfare organisations for killing stray cats and dogs in order to prepare for Euro 2012. Ukrainian Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources and Minister Of The Environment promised to take action to prevent killing animals but it still remains unclear how these measures will be enforced. The ministry's comments also suggested this would only be a temporary measure, drawing further criticism.
Other minor important issues were associated with FEMEN’s group protests against prostitution and sex tourism in Ukraine, and enormous increases in hotel prices by many hoteliers in the country.

Sycerika McMahon set another Irish senior record on the final day of competition at the Irish Short Course Swimming Championships in Lisburn.
McMahon, who had already won five national titles on Friday, added three more to her account today to win Swimmer of the Meet.
The London Olympian set a new Irish record in the 200m Breaststroke final to dominate Irish breaststroke rankings, now holding records in 50m, 100m and 200m.
Her time of 2:25.23 knocked Fiona Doyle's record, set earlier this year, from the books.
McMahon won her first gold of the day in the 400m IM final hitting the wall to finish in 4:47.80 - 12 seconds ahead of her closest competitor Lydia Kehoe (5:00.30) of New Ross, who took silver.
She then went on to battle it out with Bethany Carson in the 200m Freestyle final.
Carson and McMahon were neck and neck right to the end with Sycerika clinching gold in 1:59.63.
Lisburn’s Carson (pictured) took the silver medal just .45 of a second behind McMahon in 2:00.08.
Tallaght and NAC High Performance Centre swimmer Brendan Hyland continued his recent charge of breaking Irish junior records when he set a new standard for the 400m Individual Medley in the morning heats session, finishing in 4:22.86.
The 18-year-old then went on to take over two seconds off that time in the final when he cruised home over 10 seconds ahead of the competition, touching in 4:20.43.
Another in-form junior, Brendan Gibbons, set yet another Irish junior record in the 800m Freestyle final, battling it out with Aer Lingus’ Conor Turner (8:12.73), Gibbons held on for gold in 8:11.00.
UCD’s Shauna O’Brien set a new Irish senior record in the Women’s 50m Butterfly final.
O’Brien broke Julie Douglas’ eight year old record of 27.40 when she touched in 27.30 to claim gold ahead of Kilkenny’s Jane Roberts (28.27).

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps guiding the reader through completing a specific task. Instead, it focuses on recounting results and achievements from a swimming competition without structured procedural instructions. Similarly, the information is not organized in a way that aids in developing a deeper reasoning language model, as it lacks detailed, methodical guidance or a logical framework.

Fans pack McCovey Cove for Derby
Wild scene behind right-field wall at AT&T Park on Monday
SAN FRANCISCO -- The All-Star Home Run Derby is always a hot ticket, but to hear one longtime Giants fan and personal watercraft enthusiast tell it Monday, ducats for the Derby were easier to score than a spot in McCovey Cove.
When Denny Bahr, a self-described "40-year-old Bay Area half-beatnik," says he missed the boat, he's speaking literally.
Bahr, who said he floats in a kayak beyond the right-field wall at AT&T Park during "about 20 or 30" games a season, was among the Cove regulars who were unable to secure the proper registration required for entry into the "security zone" in China Basin Channel.
"I'm not mad about having to register at all; I understand the security issues and all that," Bahr said while looking down on the Cove from the right-field Arcade as Ryan Howard of the Phillies took his first-round hacks.
"I'm mad at myself. We don't need to register for regular games, but I knew we did for the All-Star stuff, and that the space was limited, and that it was free to register. I just forgot, man. And by the time I remembered, all the permits were gone.
"Gone like Bonds."
Quick note: The right-field Arcade from which Bahr was looking down -- with palpable sadness -- on the colorful armada below is inside AT&T Park.
"I'd rather be down there," he said. "I'm not alone, either. I've heard that a bunch of people who are out there a lot during the season did the same thing. Doesn't make me feel any better, though."
Nor did it make him feel any better that the bobbing flotilla -- kayaks, canoes, surfboards, boogie boards, rafts and at least one pair of giant foam waterskis -- saw but one ball drop into their aquatic playground during the entire contest.
It was a foul ball, however, so it didn't count. Brewers big man Prince Fielder's drive barely cleared the Portwalk that separates the outside wall of the ballpark and the Cove, and was pulled from the greenish murk within three seconds by a Hawaiian-shirt-wearing man who didn't hesitate to dive off his Giants-orange kayak for the coveted orb.
"Did you see that guy, Mommy?" gushed Scotty Kendrick, an 8-year-old from Boston who was clearly awed by the Hawaiian plunge. "He's gonna be really cold in a little while."
Kendrick's mother, Janis, said, "Well, it must be worth it to him. That ball might be worth a lot of money, I guess."
Actually, Bahr noted, the ball likely wouldn't fetch much.
"I'm guessing the balls for this have an All-Star logo [they do], but there's still going to be a lot of them out there on whatever market there is," he said. "And bro, I don't think people are out there on the water trying to make money. Sure, we'd all like to get a Barry Bonds homer, especially a milestone shot. I'd take that golden nugget to the bank, no doubt. But I'm out there because I love the water, I love the people, I love the scene.
"It's a scene, man. That's what it's all about."
It certainly was a scene Monday, as people occasionally bounded from craft to craft, beverage in hand. Think MTV's Spring Break spectacles at Lake Havasu, Ariz. -- only the cavorters are about 15 years older and wearing, for the most part, a lot more clothes.
Speaking of clothes, there is no dress code in the Cove. The sartorial splendor Monday evening included jerseys, swimsuits, wetsuits, fleece jackets, lifejackets, bikinis, board shorts and a couple of pirate costumes.
Not Pirates uniforms. Pirate costumes.
"No way those people are locals," sniffed Andy Cannon, an 18-year-old from San Francisco who spent the second round strolling the Portwalk, alternately rubbernecking co-eds and joining the spontaneous derisive Dodgers chants that came up from the water every 15 minutes or so. "You see those weak hats? San Fran comes stronger than that."
"But I am jealous of the pirates. I'll admit that much. They're in the Cove and I'm not."

Pobst All the Way in Monterey Pirelli World Challenge; Cunningham, Lamb Take Class Wins
May 11, 2012 - MONTEREY, Calif. - Randy Pobst, of Gainesville, Ga., led all the way to win the Pirelli World Challenge Cadillac Sports Car Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, piloting his Volvo S60 to the GT class win. Peter Cunningham, of Milwaukee, Wis., captured the GTS win, while Todd Lamb, of Atlanta, Ga., won in Touring Car.

Starting from the pole with his No. 6 K-PAX Racing Volvo S60, Pobst got the holeshot on the standing start, built a 3.5-second lead over teammate Alex Figge, of Denver, Colo., by lap three and was never seriously challenged to win at the undulating 11-turn, 2.358-mile circuit for the third time, and first since 2006. It was Pobst’s first series win of the 2012 season, the 27th of his career.
“This is the combination of so much hard work by the K-PAX Volvo racing team and this track and the Volvo working well together,” Pobst said after the race. “The car’s better than ever. We had some trouble keeping it running last year. I think they’ve got it sorted out, though. We’re going to have some good races with these guys for the rest of the year. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is just right for the Volvo with its all-wheel drive, especially coming out of Turn 11. It just rocks off that corner!”
Pobst set a new lap record during the race, with a 1:27.491 (92.087 mph).
Figge started third in his No. 9 K-PAX Racing Volvo S60, but launched into second at the start around the No. 8 Cadillac Racing Cadillac CTS-V of Andy Pilgrim. From there, he maintained second for the duration of the 28-lap, 62.664-mile contest, closing twice under caution, but never forcing the issue with his teammate.
“A great day for the team and for Volvo,” Figge said. “Andy Pilgrim was really a gentleman, as he always is, driving clean and his own race. That made it a lot more fun for me as well as we had a little dice on the restart. Other than that, it was just about putting laps in and making sure we had a one-two for the guys.
“The restarts were the only places to maybe try something, but the cars don’t run really well in traffic, even behind a similar car. Yesterday, in qualifying, it was Randy’s day and he had the pace today. It wasn’t going to be some easy move to go by Randy, so I think it was better to run a clean race, take the points and the one-two.”
Pilgrim was happy with his third-place run, and had to hold off a charging Lawson Aschenbach at the finish, who started from the rear of the field in his No. 1 TruSpeed/Privacy Star/EnTrust Porsche 911 GT3 after missing qualifying.
“Manufacturers points is all we care about,” Pilgrim said. “Of course, I was going to try and get to Alex Figge, because I wanted him to be a cushion between us and the Porsche. It just really kept me focused. Lawson raced me fair and really close. The brakes on our car made it for us. He didn’t make anything on us on brakes.
“It was a really good run. It was an elastic-band effect with Volvo. They were slow going into the corners and rockets coming out. I had the best shot on restarts, to try and get Alex. He was very clean, we were bumping, but it was clean. He gave me room and I gave him room. But once I got to the end of the corner, they took off. I tried, really, because I wanted to put him between me and Lawson. Having Lawson behind me, holy smoke…I had to just be perfect for those four or five laps at the end. Luckily, we were.”
For his efforts, moving from 15th on the grid to finish fourth, Aschenbach earned the Optima Batteries Best Standing Start award (advancing five positions on the opening lap) as well as the Cadillac CTS-V Move of the Race.
Steve Ott, who started sixth but moved to fourth on the opening lap, running closely behind Figge and Pilgrim for the first 10 laps, finished fifth in the No. 85 Racing For Our Heros/Loctite Porsche 911 GT3 to equal his career-best.
Mike Skeen (Chevrolet Corvette), Johnny O’Connell (Cadillac CTS-V), Justin Marks (Porsche 911 GT3), Tomy Drissi (Porsche 911 GT3) and Bret Curtis (Porsche 911 GT3) completed the top 10 in GT.
Cadillac drivers sit one-two in the Championship point standings, with O’Connell on top, with 573, followed by Pilgrim, with 559. Pobst moved to third, with 502, followed by Aschenbach (427) and Sofronas (409), who retired with a mechanical problem on the front straight to bring out the race’s first caution on lap 15.
Cadillac also maintained the Manufacturers Championship lead over Porsche 37 to 33, with Volvo closing the gap, with 25, followed by Chevrolet, with eight.
Cunningham started from his fourth-consecutive GTS class pole position in the No. 42 Acura/HPD/RealTime Racing Acura TSX, but saw Jack Baldwin’s No. 68 Voodoo Ride-Invoice Prep/Hot Wheels Porsche Cayman S get the jump from the second starting spot. It wasn’t long, though before Cunningham made the Invisible Glass Clean Pass of the Race to put his Acura back up front, a position he held from lap two until the finish to capture the first win of the new V-6 powered Acura in Pirelli World Challenge GTS competition.
“I was pleased we had such good speed at the start,” Cunningham said. “We were able to get a good run out of six. We went side-by-side up the hill and we touched a little, but we ended up in the lead there. From there, it was a controlled pace for a while. I could do my laps and still be nice to the tires. Then those two yellows, of course, we’ve been there before so we know what can happen. The first restart was great, and I had a good advantage after the first lap. Of course, then the yellow came out again. After the second restart, Jack was coming and he was doing a great job and pressuring pretty hard and I managed to just stay ahead of him to the checker.”
With the win, and coupled with the retirement of pre-race point leader Justin Bell, Cunningham took over the Championship point lead, with 602 to Baldwin’s 552. Bell was running in the top five in his No. 50 eBay Motors Ford Mustang Boss 302S but was involved in a heavy incident coming out of the last corner with Touring Car polesitter Tristan Herbert’s No. 33 HPA/RennGruppe/Brimtek/SG Racing Volkswagen Jetta GLI, which brought out the race’s final caution on lap 21. Neither driver was injured.
“When I came around and saw Justin in the wall, that was awful,” Cunningham said. “Justin is a good friend, and you don’t want to get points because the friend was in the wall so that’s a bummer for that team. We’ve had our days, too, so it was a good day points wise for RealTime and Acura and for the drivers points. We’re proud to get these points and carry on now to Detroit.”
Cunningham also set a new track record for GTS during the race, with a fastest time of 1:34.137 (85.585 mph).
Aaron Povoledo, of Toronto, Canada, finished third in the No. 26 CapaldiRacing.com Ford Mustang Boss 302S, passing the No. 34 Acura/HPD/RealTime Racing Acura TSX of Nick Esayian on the final lap of the race. Andy Lee brought the No. 20 Best IT Chevrolet Camaro home fifth.
Lee now sits fourth in GTS points with 502, 24 behind Bell. Michael Galati finished sixth in his Kia Optima and sits fifth in points, with 391.
Acura took over the Manufacturers Championship lead, with 32 points to Ford’s 31, Chevrolet’s 20 and Kia’s 13.
Touring Car had the biggest shakeup in its race, both from the starting grid and related to the Championship.
Herbert started from the pole, but was jumped by the Honda Civics of Compass360 teammates Todd Lamb (No. 71 National Karting News/HPD) and Ryan Winchester (No. 72 Ligon Industries/HPD) at the start. Point leader Michael Cooper, who started fifth in his No. 03 Mazdaspeed Motorsports MAZDASPEED3 had contact off the start and immediately had a flat tire, necessitating a trip to the pit lane, dropping him to last.
Lamb led the entire way, but had to deal with a charging Jeff Altenburg, of Ellicott City, Md., in his No. 43 HPA/RennGruppe Brimtek/SG Racing Volkswagen Jetta GLI in the race’s closing laps. Their battle was broken off in the end by a slower GTS car that separated the two and allowed Lamb to open up more of a gap to the checkered flag.
“Toward the end, we got a couple of yellows and bunched up the field a little bit,” Lamb said. “I tried to conserve the car for the first part of the race knowing that, toward the end, we’d definitely be getting a yellow and there would be a battle. We’ve struggled against the turbos all season, so we knew they were probably going to conserve tires and come on strong at the end. It was a shame to see Tristan get taken out there, but at the same time we’re here to get some points. I had a pretty good battle with Altenburg there at the end, we raced nice and clean but I definitely had to be defensive and hold him off. It was tough.”
It was Lamb’s second Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car win of his rookie season, and the former SCCA Pro Racing Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup Champion took the point lead over that series’ defending Champion Cooper, 771 to 755.
“It was a great points day,” Lamb added. “It’s nice to win races, but we’re here to win the Championship for Honda. A huge step in the right direction today, so we should be close to leading the points.”
Altenburg scored his best finish of the year at a track that he has twice won previously.
Winchester finished third, his fourth-consecutive podium result, but his car failed post-qualifying technical inspection, promoting Patrick Seguin and his No. 80 Theberge Homes/capsparts.com Volkswagen GTI to third, followed by Shea Holbrook’s No. 67 TrueCar.com Honda Civic Si. Cooper salvaged a fifth-place finish after his pit stop. Seguin was also the Sunoco Hard Charger for most postitions improved throughout the race.
Herbert now sits third in points, with 515, followed by Gustavo Michelsen (476) and Winchester (463).
Honda leads the Touring Car Manufacturers’ Championship, with 48 points, to Mazda’s 35. Volkswagen is third, with 26.
Today’s race will be broadcast Sunday, May 27 at 11 p.m. (EDT) on NBC Sports Network.
The series next travels to Detroit for the Cadillac V-Series Challenge at Belle Isle, part of the IZOD IndyCar weekend, June 1-3.

I´m very disappointed at the moment of my new X220.
I´ve got very high dpc latency when I´m using the integrated 82579LM Adapter.
Sound is stuttering while surfing playing music.
With the Wireless 6205 all is fine!
What I have already tried:
-Windows new install (Lenovo clean install tutorial)
-Newest Intel driver for the nic
-Newest Lenovo driver for the nic
-Set powermanager to max performance
All drivers, BIOS, utilities(such as powermanager etc.) and windows are up to date.

Okay, I tried LatencyMon.
Am I right, that the driver ndis.sys and the CPU?! is causing the issue?
How can I solve this?
11-18-2011 08:14 PM
Try using Intel drivers instead to see if the latency issues could be resolved.
I am using Chipset driver from Intel and NIC driver from Lenovo and it's working smoothly. You could try Intel new NIC driver, they may provide some performance improvement, etc. for the newer driver.
Does someone’s post help you? Give them kudos as a reward, as they will do better to improve
Mark it as solved if the solution works for you, so it could be reference for others in the future

I have the exact same problem.
It took me several week to realize that it was the ethernet that was causing the audio stuttering and the high DPC latency. All of my drivers are up to date and I'm on AC power. I've removed the wired NIC drivers in device manager. and see if the windows 7 default drivers work. I need this gigabit ethernet as a do a lot of data transfer between other computers on my lan. Wireless simply isn't an option.
As for the jumpy mouse, i believe it's due to poor grounding in your AC adapter (pathetic levovo...) Take a look at this thread
It appears the throttling and mouse jumping problem can be solved with a 3rd party power adapter. I my self just ordered this http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Laptop-Adapter-Supply-

1. Go to device manager
2. Right click on 82579LM Gigabit ethernet and click uninstall. A popup will appear and check "delete drivers"
3. Let the computer uninstall the drivers.
4. Reboot computer
5. With wifi on, let windows automatically install drivers for the gigabit card.
Edit: Reinstalling the drivers helped however I'm still getting huge dpc latency spikes when downloading files....This is ridiculous.

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for uninstalling the problematic driver and reinstalling it to mitigate the DPC latency issue. However, while the instructions are straightforward, they lack sufficient detail and context to facilitate deeper reasoning for training a language model, as they do not explore underlying concepts or troubleshooting theories.

**Step-by-step: No**
**Training: No**

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps to guide the reader through completing a specific task. While it mentions various topics and ideas, it lacks detailed and organized instructions that would be necessary for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning or building procedural knowledge. The absence of structured guidance does not facilitate a clear understanding of any process, making it ineffective for training purposes.

For the second time in four years, the Red Sox are in the World Series. And just like last time, they measured the depths of the degree-of-difficulty scale. The 2007 team didn't have to come back from 3-0 like its '04 predecessors. But coming back from 3-1 down against the Indians in the American League Championship Series was still an impressive accomplishment that will go down in the annals of franchise lore.
How have the Red Sox -- a team once identified by late-season disappointment -- transformed into the team that always seems to come back in October?
"I just think when you're in this kind of pressure cooker, you can either fold and kind of implode, or you can relax and be yourself," said Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein. "That's what our guys do: they relax and stay themselves. None of the circumstances bother them."
The World Series begins Wednesday at Fenway Park, when the Red Sox host the Rockies at 8 p.m. ET on FOX. But before that spectacle begins, it's worth looking back for a minute at what Boston accomplished not just in the ALCS, but the body of work it has put together in recent Octobers.
Beginning with the 1999 postseason, the Red Sox are 14-3 when they face elimination. Jason Varitek and Tim Wakefield are the only two players who have been a part of the team for all 17 of those games, and much of it speaks to the leadership of the captain.
After all, it was Varitek who sat in front of his locker for as long as the media wanted when the Sox lost Game 4 to the Tribe at Jacobs Field last Tuesday and continued to keep a firm resolve about him.
"We've got a one-pitch playoff every pitch," Varitek reminded everyone after Game 4. "We have to go out there with that intensity. We've got to play one pitch at a time, literally. We have to create our own opportunities. We've got to outplay our opponents."
The Red Sox turned Varitek into a prophet. They did all of those things for the remainder of the series and kept such concentration that they never again trailed.
But Varitek doesn't just lead the ship by himself.
Third baseman Mike Lowell is another leader who remembered the experience of bouncing back from a 3-1 deficit with the Marlins against the Cubs in the 2003 National League Championship Series.
Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling -- postseason stalwarts both of them -- wanted the ball with the season on the line, and they delivered. David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez wanted to be at the plate in all the big spots, and continually they delivered. So did core players like Lowell, Kevin Youkilis and rookie Dustin Pedroia.
And in dire situations, sometimes even Manny being Manny can help. Ramirez is no media darling, but he decided to turn into one once the Red Sox got into that 3-1 deficit. While some of the national media jumped on him for his carefree words, his teammates appreciated the levity.
"I think Manny put it really well," said Sox right fielder J.D. Drew. "There was always next year in his mind. That just kind of shows you how relaxed we were, the worst case [being] we were going home and the best case, 'Hey, we're moving on to the World Series.'"
Sure, the Red Sox lost three in a row to the Indians to fall in the 3-1 hole, but they never lost their resolve.
"Nobody got down on each other," said Pedroia. "We kept battling. We knew if we won [Game 5] in Cleveland, we'd have a chance. Josh went out and we all jumped on his back, pretty much. He carried us through that game. Once we got back here, Schill did great and everything came together, and here we are -- we're still playing."
Is it character or talent that helps a team perform so well when the margin for error is zero?
"I think you have to have both," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "If you have one without the other, you're not going to make it. We managed to play ourselves into a deficit, but we managed to play ourselves out if it. I just think the mentality is always the same, every day. You play nine innings or whatever it takes."
To a man, the Red Sox seemed to agree that the biggest key to the comeback was to look at each at-bat, inning and game as an almost individual entity.
"We were not going to give up until the last out," said Lowell. "I think we did a great job of taking Game 5 as the most important game and not looking ahead. And then Game 6 and then Game 7. We weren't worried about [Fausto] Carmona when we had to face [C.C.] Sabathia. I think we were very focused in that sense. But it starts with the pitching. Josh did it, Schill did it and Daisuke [Matsuzaka] did it, for the most part."
In truth, it takes nearly everyone playing a role to win three successive must-win games.
"It's exactly like '04, just a different team," said Wakefield. "Your back is against the wall and you had to win. You had to win the first night to get to the second night, and that's the philosophy we all took."
Once again, that philosophy was executed to perfection, and the reward was a trip to the World Series.

The article does not present a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task. Instead, it provides a narrative about the Red Sox's performance and mentality during critical playoff games, lacking detailed procedural instructions that would facilitate training for deeper reasoning in a language model. While the insights shared could inspire reflective thinking, the absence of structured, actionable steps means it wouldn’t be particularly useful for training purposes.

Oxbow upsets Orb in Preakness
“He don’t want any?” a man asked, considering jockeys usually shower their horses, too.
Stevens shook his head from his perch atop Oxbow, the wire-to-wire winner of the 138th Preakness.
“Ain’t even tired,” he said.
Stevens, a 50-year-old grandfather who came out of a seven-year retirement at the beginning of the year, used a daring ride to clinch an anti-climatic second leg of the Triple Crown at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday.
His win gave trainer D. Wayne Lukas, 77, a 14th win in Triple Crown races, setting a new record. His first one also came at Preakness, in 1980 with Codex.
Asked if he appreciated this one more, Lukas said quickly, “Yes, yes, definitely. At 77, I do. Yes. The first one, I thought I was going to win quite a few more.”
Oxbow ran the mile-and-three-sixteenths in 1:57.54 and never faced a serious challenge. He won by 13/4 lengths. Going off with 15-1 odds, he paid $32.80 on a $2 dollar bet to win, $12 to place and $6.80 to show.
Itsmyluckyday was second ($7.80 and $5.00), and Mylute finished third ($5.20).
Heavy favorite Orb, the Kentucky Derby winner, ended up being unable to overcome having to start along the rail. He began his move along the backstretch and briefly moved into third place, but jockey Joel Rosario could not swing out into open space.
“I just think he got himself in a position where he wasn’t real comfortable,” Orb’s trainer Shug McGaughey said. “And without the pace scenario in front of him, where they weren’t spread out a little more, that probably affected him more than anything.”
Orb was vying to become the 13th horse since 1978 to go to Belmont with a chance to become the 12th Triple Crown winner. Affirmed last achieved the feat in 1978.
“I get paid to spoil dreams,” said Lukas, whose last Preakness winner, Charismatic, had won the Derby but finished third in the Belmont.
Lukas had been tied for most wins in Triple Crown races with “Sunny” Jim Fitzsimmons, but he hadn’t won one since 2000. He never lost faith — or stopped entering his horses. His Will Take Charge finished seventh Saturday, while Titletown Five was ninth after moving ahead of Orb going into the second turn, which seemed to make the colt uncomfortable.
“The thing about it is, you get up every day and look for that one that you maybe can do something with,” Lukas said. “As long as we’ve got something to work with, we’re going to be around.”
Oxbow also returned Calumet Farm, the dominant racing outfit of the middle of last century, to the Triple Crown. The farm had produced eight Kentucky Derby winners from 1941 to 1968, including Triple Crown winners Whirlaway (1941) and Citation (1948), as well as seven previous Preakness winners. It campaigned Alydar, Affirmed’s chief rival, but has declined since then and was nearly lost to development in the early 1990s.
It is now run by Brad Kelley, a billionaire who made his fortune in tobacco and is one of the top five landowners in the country, according to Forbes. He leases the 800-acre property from the Calumet Investment Group, which bought the farm for about $40 million last year. The members of the ownership group have not been named.
Kelly did not attend the race, and he was represented by his daughter, Erin, who declined to speak with reporters beside a brief television interview after the race.
“What a story this is,” Lukas said. “I’m happy for Gary and I’m just happy for Mr. Kelley. He’s trying to revitalize Calumet, and now Calument is back in a Classic race. That’s just very gratifying.”
Stevens won his third Preakness; he’s also won the other two legs of the Triple Crown three times each.
Though Lukas said he’d given Stevens no specific instructions except to react to the race in front of him, Oxbow’s two other wins had come after going to the lead early. In the Kentucky Derby, Stevens said Oxbow got closed off down the stretch but was “breathing fire” after crossing the finish line in sixth. That gave him confidence that Oxbow, a smallish bay colt bought as a yearling for $250,000, could handle the Preakness.
As Stevens came around the turn, he thought his horse would tense due to late-closing challengers — the horse usually knows before the rider — but instead he went easily over the finish line.
“I came into the stretch so loaded,” Stevens said. “I couldn’t believe that no one challenged me going into the far turn, but when no one did I said, ‘I think everybody’s in trouble right now.”
Aching knees forced Stevens into retirement in 2005, and he worked as a racing analyst, jockey agent, trainer and actor. Spurred on by the success of 47-year-old friend Mike Smith, he began training late last year and dropped 25 pounds to come back.
He teamed with Lukas — who saddled him for his first Triple Crown win, the 1988 Kentucky Derby — again as both faced questions about their fading careers. Lukas won the Belmont in 2000; Stevens won both the Preakness and Belmont in 2001.
Stevens found early success in California this year, but he won just three races in the highly competitive Keenland meet leading into the Kentucky Derby. At Churchill Downs, he was shut out.
“I thought maybe my business was lacking, maybe this was a mistake,” he said. “I’ve been questioning myself.”
But Lukas felt good about Oxbow’s chances and relayed that message to Stevens, who did not arrive in Baltimore until late in the week. Lukas told reporters, too, that he wouldn’t be here if he didn’t think he could win.
Each morning, Lukas hopped on his pony and accompanied his horses to the track. That has been his life since the 1970s, when he left a career as a teacher and basketball coach to get into the horse racing business.
Divorced five times, he joked after the Preakness that it is impossible to hold a training licenses and marriage license at the same time.
“Dedicate yourself completely to the game, and if you work, it will probably come,” he said.
Lukas said he planned to take his horses back to Louisville on a van leaving Baltimore at 4:30 a.m. today, with only a few stops at Wendy’s planned along the way. Always tanned and appearing in crisply creased shirts and expensive boots, Lukas has said he has no plans of doing anything with his life but sticking to the routine he has kept for four decades.
As he walked away from Stevens — whose comeback is now unlikely to sag as it did in Kentucky — Lukas raised a hand and said he’d be in touch.
“I love you,” he said.
Stevens said the same thing back.

NBA Game Summary - Utah at Atlanta|
(Friday, January 11th)
Final Score: Atlanta 103, Utah 95
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Devin Harris poured in a season-high 24 points
to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 103-95 win over the Utah Jazz on Friday at
Harris, who returned to the lineup on Wednesday after missing 11 games with a
right foot injury, went 7-for-8 from the field and 4-for-5 from behind the arc
to help the Hawks snap a four-game skid.
Josh Smith had 15 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, Lou Williams dropped in
14 points and Ivan Johnson added 13 off the bench for Atlanta.
"It was one of our top games of the year. Obviously, coming off the losing
streak, the way guys responded is something we need to do moving forward,"
Harris said. "We have to give credit to our bench, they really helped us out
and played with a lot of energy."
Randy Foye dropped in 25 points, Al Jefferson had 23 points and 10 rebounds
and Paul Millsap donated 20 points to go with 13 boards and five assists for
the Jazz, who had won four of their last five entering the contest.
"Once you get up 15 (points) you can't stop doing what you were doing to get
you that lead," said Utah coach Tyrone Corbin. "We got away from it, we
thought the game was over."
Utah led 63-51 midway through the third quarter and used a 12-9 swing to go up
75-60 with 3 1/2 minutes left, but the visitors scored just one point the rest
of the frame.
John Jenkins buried a 3-ball and three straight steals led to a 5-0 surge from
the Hawks, cutting the deficit to 75-68. Hayward sunk a free throw following a
defensive three second call on Johnson to send the Jazz into the final 12
minutes leading 76-68.
Atlanta used a 14-4 run to pull within 82-80 with 7:21 remaining in the
fourth. Jamaal Tinsley buried a triple to put Utah up 85-80, but the Hawks
scored five straight, capped off with a Harris trey, to knot things up at 85.
The teams traded blows from there until Johnson's circus layup with 1 1/2
minutes to go put the Hawks up 96-94. Al Horford grabbed a Milsap miss, passed
it to Harris who turned and fired a beautiful cross-court pass to Johnson, who
threw the ball up as he was falling to the floor. The ball rolled to the back
of the rim, but dropped in to give the Hawks the lead for good.
A Tinsley free throw made it 96-95, but Smith's fadeaway, followed by a
Williams trey, sealed it up for Atlanta.
Harris' free throws with 23.5 ticks left accounted for the final margin.
Foye poured in 15 points in the first to stake the Jazz with a 25-22 lead
after the first 12 minutes.
An 8-4 surge in the opening minutes of the second stanza gave the Hawks a
31-29 lead, but Utah countered with a 12-8 push to go up 43-39 with just
under four minutes left in the half.
Horford's hook shot a minute later made it a two-point game, but the Jazz
scored four straight to push their spread to 47-41. Smith found Horford on a
fast break alley-oop, but the Hawks couldn't cash in on a pair of
opportunities in the final minute and went into the break down 47-43.
Horford and Pachulia finished with 12 points apiece ... The Hawks shot 55.6
percent (4-for-72) from the floor and went 9-for-19 from 3-point range ...
Atlanta outscored Utah, 52-44, in the pain ... The Jazz turned it over 17
times leading to 23 points for the Hawks ... Gordon Hayward had 12 points in

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Begin by placing the duck breast side up on a baking rack. Season with the salt and pepper, and roast until the juices run barely pink, about 45 minutes. Remove the duckling from the pan and set it aside.
Degrease the pan drippings by skimming off the top layer.
To prepare the sauce, combine the sugar and water and caramelize carefully. Add the wine, vinegar, orange juice and ginger. Mix them well and reduce by half. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add the pan drippings, reduce the heat and simmer until sauce reduces by half. Once sauce is done, strain it through a cheesecloth or fine strainer and set aside.
To serve, place the duckling on a large serving tray. Add the orange segments on top and around the duck, and pour the sauce over the duck.

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for preparing a roasted duck dish, outlining specific actions like preheating the oven, seasoning the duck, and creating the sauce. The instructions contain enough detail and structure that they could serve as a useful training guide for a language model, encouraging deeper reasoning by illustrating not only the "how" but also the "why" behind each cooking step, such as the caramelization process and flavor balancing in the sauce.

A few more notes
*The Orioles will conduct an open tryout to find ballgirls and ballboys for the 2013 season at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Saturday, March 9.
Outgoing and athletic men and women ages 18 and older who are interested in serving as ballboys and ballgirls for the Orioles during the upcoming 2013 season are invited to try out for a position at Oriole Park beginning at noon on March 9.
Those interested should dress casually, bring their own gloves, and use the Home Plate Plaza entrance to Oriole Park on the southwest corner of the ballpark. Resumes are also recommended. Complimentary parking will be available in Lot A.
In addition to being able to handle a glove and field ground balls, interested candidates should be personable, customer-service oriented and available to work the entire 2013 season.
*The Orioles have two players, Brenden Webb and Michael Ohlman, in the Australian Baseball League. Their them, the Perth Heat, are playing in the Championship Feb 8 – 10. Ohlman is a first baseman and through 43 games is hitting .317/.372/.527 with six homers and 27 RBIs, while Webb –who has primarily played right field– is hitting .190/.365/.466 with five homers and 10 RBIs in 18 games.
*In case you missed it, my colleague at Indians.com –Jordan Bastian– did a nice job chronicling the interesting winter of Russ Canzler, who was claimed by the Orioles (his fourth team this winter) earlier this week. You can read that story here.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for individuals interested in trying out for the Orioles' ballgirl and ballboy positions, including details about age requirements, what to wear, and logistics for the tryout. However, the instructions lack the depth and detail necessary for training a language model in deeper reasoning, as they are primarily transactional and do not involve complex decision-making or problem-solving scenarios.

VIERA, Fla. -- The Mets and right-hander Matt Harvey have officially come to an agreement regarding the location of his Tommy John rehab, according to general manager Sandy Alderson.
The Mets will permit Harvey -- thanks to a clause in the Collective Bargaining Agreement preventing the club from keeping him in Florida for more than 20 days -- to rehab at Citi Field when the team is at home, giving him access to his teammates, his apartment and all the luxuries that New York has to offer.
When the team is on the road, Harvey will fly to Port St. Lucie, Fla., to rehab at the team's Spring Training facility.
That arrangement will continue through June, at which point Harvey will rehab in Florida "more or less full-time" as he ramps up his workouts, according to Alderson.
In effect, the deal is a compromise. Harvey gets to spend much of his summer in New York, as he wished, and the rehab staff in Florida gets to work with him on a regular basis.
"I think he's happy with that arrangement," said Alderson. "We're happy with that arrangement. We think it will work well, so we're going to go ahead on that basis."
Harvey hopes to return to active duty by September, though Opening Day 2015 remains a more realistic expectation.

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps guiding the reader through completing a specific task; instead, it discusses an agreement regarding Matt Harvey's rehabilitation. Additionally, the procedural aspects mentioned are not well-structured enough to support training a language model for deeper reasoning. The content lacks detailed instructions or a systematic approach that would encourage analytical thinking about the rehabilitation process.

PHILADELPHIA - Michael Vick's peers appreciate his tough journey back to the NFL.
Vick won the Ed Block Courage Award, voted on by his teammates on the Philadelphia Eagles, after the once-disgraced star quarterback returned to the league after spending 18 months in a federal prison for his role in a dogfighting ring.
"It means a great deal to me," Vick said Wednesday. "I was voted unanimously by my teammates. They know what I've been through. I've been through a lot. It's been great to come back and have an opportunity to play and be with a great group of guys. I'm just ecstatic about that and I enjoy every day."
A three-time Pro Bowl pick in six seasons with Atlanta, Vick has played sparingly with the Eagles. He has two touchdowns rushing and one passing in 12 games.
The Ed Block Award honours players who exemplify commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. Each of the 32 NFL teams selects a recipient.
"I've overcome a lot, more than probably one single individual can handle or bear," Vick said. "You ask certain people to walk through my shoes, they probably couldn't. Probably 95 per cent of the people in this world because nobody had to endure what I've been through, situations I've been put in, situations I put myself in and decisions I have made, whether they have been good or bad.
"There's always consequences behind certain things and repercussions behind them, too. And then you have to wake up every day and face the world, whether they perceive you in the right perspective, it's a totally different outlook on you. You have to be strong, believe in yourself, be optimistic. That's what I've been able to do. That's what I display."
The Eagles were criticized by animal rights activists for signing Vick less than a month after he was released from prison. Dozens of protesters voiced their outrage outside the team's practice facility the day after Vick was signed, and many fans threatened to give up their tickets.
But Vick got a warm reception in his first game with the Eagles and by most accounts has been a model citizen off the field.
The animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, issued a statement reprimanding the Eagles for giving Vick the award.
"The Philadelphia Eagles fumbled when they gave Michael Vick the Ed Block Courage Award, which was named after a man who advocated in behalf of abused children," the PETA statement read. "Michael Vick should not be the person anyone points to as a model of sportsmanship, even though he has now exchanged dogs for touchdowns after serving time for extreme cruelty to animals. We wish him well in educating others, but this is not appropriate and does not mark a joyous moment in NFL history."
Vick has spent time working with the Humane Society of the United States, speaking to school and community groups about the mistakes he made in getting involved in dogfighting.
"It was a big obstacle proving I'm worthy of a second chance," Vick said. "It doesn't stop here. I have to continue to prove that. I think it's not going to be a day-to-day process, it's going to be a year-in, year-out process. It's a challenge to myself. The thing I told (NFL commissioner) Roger (Goodell) is that four or five years from now, I'm going to come to him and say, 'Everything I told you I was going to do, I'm still doing it.' And that's what I pride myself on and that's my focus and that's my goal."
Quarterback Donovan McNabb called the award "well-deserved."
"Congratulations to him for straightening his life around and bettering himself as a human being," coach Andy Reid said. "He's obviously very well-respected by his teammates."

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a task, as it primarily focuses on Michael Vick's experiences and reflections rather than instructions. Additionally, the instructions are not well-structured or detailed in a procedural format, which would be necessary for training a language model in deeper reasoning. Instead, it consists of narrative elements and opinions, lacking the systematic approach needed for those purposes.
