LONDON OLYMPICS 2012: Men's Basketball: USA vs France Full Video Replay
LONDON – Kevin Durant scored 22 points to lead the United States team of NBA stars over France 98-71 on Sunday in their opening game of the Olympic men’s basketball tournament.
Durant, the reigning NBA scoring champion, produced two electrifying back-to-back slam dunks in the early minutes — one off a half-court-length pass from LeBron James in a game that became a romp after the opening quarter.
The American NBA stars greeted US First Lady Michelle Obama after the game, each player and coach receving a hug in congratulation for the victory.
The Americans improved to 55-1 in international play since revamping their program after settling for a shocking bronze medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Kevin Love added 14 points for the NBA multi-millionaire squad while Kobe Bryant had 10 points and James and Carmelo Anthony each scored nine.

London 2012 Olympics: Opening Ceremony Full Replay Video & Highlights
The London 2012 Olympics burst into life on Friday (Saturday in Manila) with a humour-filled opening ceremony watched by 80,000 spectators and more than one billion TV viewers.
After seven years of planning, the Games officially began in the gleaming new stadium in a once rundown area of the British capital with a colourful show devised by "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle.
The ceremony kept Boyle's promise to showcase British history with a dash of quirky humour, tracing time from a bucolic past through the Industrial Revolution before fast-forwarding to the present day.
It also featured the history of British music with some of the most memorable songs and music videos and clips shown on stage and on the screen.

London 2012 Opening Ceremony is sure to be the United Kingdom's biggest-ever live show. It is expected to attract more than a billion of global TV Audience. Award-winning film directors Danny Boyle, who directed The Bleach and Slumdog Millionaire, and Stephen Daldry, who directed Billy Elliot, will oversee the opening ceremony.
The name of the Olympic Opening Ceremony show will be ‘Isles of Wonder’ and the worldwide broadcast will commence at 9pm. The Ceremony will kick off with the sound of the largest harmonically tuned bell in Europe, produced by the WhiteChapel Foundry, and the Stadium will be transformed into the British countryside for opening scene ‘Green and Pleasant’, which includes real farmyard animals. The Ceremony will also include a special sequence celebrating the best of British, featuring volunteer performers from the NHS.

Major Makeover is Big Dome's Answer to Mall Of Asia Arena
As the live music scene heats up further and more foreign performers
regularly include Manila in their tour dates, the need for competitive
concert venues has risen.
At present there are only two major venues—the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City and the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena in Pasay—that can accommodate crowds of 10,000 or more.
A third one—the 50,000-capacity Philippine Arena in Bulacan—is being built by the Iglesia ni Cristo for its congregation but will likewise be available for entertainment and sports events. It is set to open in 2014.
The presence of MOA Arena and soon-to-open Philippine Arena has posed a serious challenge to Smart Araneta. The latter, also known as the Big Dome, is in the midst of a makeover that it calls “extreme transformation.”

Rafael Nadal Withdraws From London Olympics Due To Knee Injury
MADRID - Olympic champion Rafael Nadal's withdrawal from the London Games because of injury deprived the tournament of one of its biggest attractions and left Spain reeling on Thursday.
The gold medal winner in Beijing four years ago has failed to recover from a knee problem, and also misses out on the honour of carrying his nation's flag at the opening ceremony.
The Spanish tennis federation (RFET) said Feliciano Lopez would be his replacement in the singles while the country's Olympic committee (COE) said a meeting on Friday would decide on a replacement flag bearer for the July 27th parade.
"I'm not in a condition to be able to compete," Nadal, 26, said in a statement. "It's one of the saddest moments of my career."
Nadal won a record seventh French Open title in June but crashed out
in the second round at Wimbledon in a massive upset against lowly ranked
Czech Lukas Rosol.

Miss Australia's National Costume For Miss World 2012 Receives Criticism
As the Miss World 2012 pageant begins in Mongolia, controversies will never be far behind. First to hit the headlines is the national costume of Miss Australia.

Jeremy "Linsanity" Lin Joins Houston Rockets; Betrayed New York Knicks?
Jeremy Lin is officially a Houston Rocket. Now, we find out whether "Linsanity" can survive Texas heat.
The
Knicks confirmed on Tuesday that they would not match the three-year,
$25.1 million offer sheet Lin signed with the Houston Rockets on Friday.
The club declined to comment on the stunning development while Lin took
to Twitter to say, "Extremely excited and honored to be a Houston
Rocket again."
The decision was both financial and emotional
since Garden Chairman James Dolan was upset over Lin's decision to
restructure his deal with Houston last week to include a third year
salary of $14.9 million. Dolan, according to sources, felt he was
deceived by the 23-year-old Lin.
"Much love and thankfulness
to the Knicks and New York for your support this past year," Lin said on
Twitter. "Easily the best year of my life. #ForeverGratful."
Of course, team officials privately felt that Lin's actions over the
past few weeks were anything but grateful. They were upset that Lin
hired a publicist without their consent and were livid that the second
year point guard out of Harvard went back to the Rockets for more money.
As recently as last week, all signs pointed to Lin returning with head coach Mike Woodson even saying that Lin would be his starting point guard and that newly acquired Jason Kidd would serve as the back-up.

B-MEG Llamados Proud of Denzel Bowles' 2012 NBA Summer League Performance
B-MEG coach Tim Cone seemed like a proud father when he heard news about
former Llamados’ import Denzel Bowles’ impressive showing in his NBA
Summer League debut with the New Orleans Hornets.
“The B-MEG team
and the entire SMC organization is so proud of him,” Cone told
InterAKTV. “He will always be welcome to our B-MEG family, but I would
be happier to see him fulfill his dream of playing in the NBA.”
But Cone still watched Bowles’ performance with a coach’s eye, and had some pointers for his former ward, who won Best Import in the Commissioner’s Cup and led the Llamados to the title.
“He still needs to improve his defense and has to get up and down the court quickly. But Denzel is learning and continuously improving. I’m so proud of what he has achieved,” said Cone.
Other members of the Llamados tweeted words of encouragement for their former teammate.
JC Intal (@jcintal7) : @Denzel_Bowles congrats, big D! I feel proud watching you this morning. Great job!

GMA7-TV5 Merger: PLDT in Talks With Banks to Fund the Acquisition
PHILIPPINE LONG Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) has begun approaching creditors to prepare for plans to acquire GMA Network, Inc. after already raising funds from an asset sale, a ranking official yesterday said.
“We are talking to our bankers,” PLDT Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan told reporters in a chance interview.
“We are preparing [funding] in the event that the deal materializes,” Mr. Pangilinan added, referring to ongoing talks to buy into broadcaster GMA Network.
The bulk of the funding, however, will come from PLDT’s cash flow, Mr. Pangilinan said.
Already, PLDT has raised some P4 billion after divesting its 27% stake or 397 million shares in PhilWeb Corp. at P10.70 apiece.

Rest In Peace: Comedy King Dolphy passes away at 83
Philippines' King of Comedy, Rodolfo 'Dolphy' Quizon Sr., passed away shortly after 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, his family announced that evening.
"My dad is now with his Creator," Dolphy's son, the actor-director Eric Quizon, said. The elder Quizon had been confined at the Makati Medical Center (MMC) since June 9. He would have turned 84 on July 25. Dad Dolphy is survived by partner Zsa Zsa Padilla and his 18 children.
Just over a week ago, it was reported that Dolphy's health condition had improved considerably. In fact, Quizon said last June 29 that his father already wanted to go home. "Uwi, uwi na tayo [Let's go home]," the already lucid Dolphy mouthed to his family. The veteran actor even asked for orange juice, Quizon said.
A few days ago, Dolphy's family said that the veteran actor's pneumonia was under control. He had underwent another round of dialysis and blood transfusion to boost his immune system.
In its medical bulletin Tuesday night, the MMC said Dolphy died at 8:34 p.m. due to multiple organ failure, secondary to complications brought about by severe pneumonia, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and acute renal failure.

Anderson Cooper: "The fact is, I'm Gay, always have been, always will be"
CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper has, at long last, publicly said he is gay. Cooper made the announcement in an email to writer Andrew Sullivan.
"The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud," he wrote.
Cooper's sexuality has long been the subject of ample media speculation, but he has never publicly confirmed it.
“I just don’t talk about my personal life," he told New York magazine in 2005. "...The whole thing about being a reporter is that you’re supposed to be an observer and to be able to adapt with any group you’re in, and I don’t want to do anything that threatens that.”
On Monday, though, Cooper reversed course: "I have always been very open and honest about this part of my life with my friends, my family, and my colleagues. In a perfect world, I don't think it's anyone else's business, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted. I’m not an activist, but I am a human being and I don't give that up by being a journalist."
