Wichita State hands No. 18 UNLV 1st loss (AP)

WICHITA, Kan. ? UNLV coach Dave Rice can remember the scouting report on Wichita State's Joe Ragland quite clearly.

"Catch and shoot guy," Rice said. "You have to close out on him."

The 18th-ranked Runnin' Rebels know that all too well now.

Ragland had eight 3-pointers ? one off the school record ? and finished with 31 points to lead the Shockers to an 89-70 victory on Sunday.

UNLV (8-1) is undefeated no more.

"The credit all goes to Wichita State," Rice said. "They got anything and everything they wanted. They executed really, really well."

Ragland entered the game with five 3-pointers this season. He went 8 of 9 from beyond the arc for the Shockers (5-2).

"Once I made the first couple," Ragland said, "I figured I would keep shooting whenever I was open."

That plan worked well for Wichita State, which led by 15 points at halftime and were never threatened after that.

Carl Hall scored 17 points and Garrett Stutz added 13 for Wichita State.

Chace Stanbeck led UNLV, which handed then-No. 1 North Carolina its first loss of the season on Nov. 26, with 16 points while Mike Moser added 12 points and seven rebounds.

Rice said his team's inability to make defensive stops was the key.

"The credit all goes to Wichita State," Rice said. "They got anything and everything they wanted. They executed really, really well."

It was 18-all when a 3 by Ragland ? the Shockers' fifth in the game's first 10 minutes ? started a 9-0 run.

UNLV went nearly 8 minutes without a field goal.

"Our game plan was to keep them from penetrating the middle," Shockers guard Toure Murry said, "and then just play from there."

That allowed the Shockers to stretch the lead behind Ragland. He made three more 3-pointers in half's final 6 minutes, hitting all five first-half 3-pointers he attempted. His 19 first-half points were as many as UNLV's top three scorers combined.

"Our guys were beating them (off the dribble), and they had to help," Ragland said. "That kept leaving me wide open."

The Shockers were 8 of 14 on 3-pointers in the half in building a 47-32 lead.

UNLV started finding its offensive stride after halftime, scoring 14 points in the first 5 1-2 minutes. But it could still never get the lead under 14.

A big reason was Wichita State's inside duo of Hall and Stutz, who combined for 19 points in the second half.

"We could not get a stop," Rice said. "From a learning standpoint, we need to understand that part of being 8-0 and being ranked is you're going to get everyone's best shot. And we certainly got that today."

Not surprisingly, it was Ragland who keyed the Shockers' final surge.

He calmly swished a kick-out 3-pointer, forcing a UNLV timeout with Wichita State leading 67-48. He finished 8 of 9 from the arc.

Then, 33 seconds later, Murry slammed a rebound for a 69-48 lead with 9:37 remaining, sending a sellout crowd into a frenzy.

UNLV would not get closer than 16 points after that.

"They played with more energy, came out harder," Moser said. "It was a real big game for them, and they took advantage of it."

UNLV was 5 of 20 from 3-point range and were outrebounded 28-26 after entering the game with a 6.2-rebound advantage per game. Wichita State had 20 assists on 32 field goals.

It was more than Shockers coach Gregg Marshall had even hoped.

"UNLV is an NCAA tournament team," Marshall said. "They've got the resume. I feel if we're consistent in that type of effort, we can be in the NCAA tournament as well."

Gaming for Gaia ? The Daily Bayonet

Ubisoft has released a new game where players get to manage the future of civilization after man has kicked Gaia in the soft parts. Because nothing says global warming is a serious crisis like making a game about it.

Behold the future, in Anno 2070:

2070. Our world has changed. The sea?s rising level has harmed the coastal cities and climate change has made large stretches of land inhospitable.

..

It?s a global-scale Sim City for hippies, and a great Christmas gift for the warmist in your life.

Ubisoft is the game studio that produced the jaw-droppingly good Silent Hunter III sub-sim game. Now they?ve joined forces with climate ALAAAARMists (SH3 fans will get the reference, apologies to everyone else.)

Gingrich praises Cain for optimism, big ideas (AP)

NEW YORK ? Newt Gingrich is praising GOP presidential rival Herman Cain for bringing optimism and big ideas to the 2012 campaign.

Gingrich, a former House speaker, made his comments at a tea party rally on New York's Staten Island, not long after Cain said he was suspending his campaign.

Polls show that Gingrich's candidacy has surged in recent weeks, with many showing him topping the Republican field.

Gingrich refused to say the race has come down to a two-man contest with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney just a month before the first vote, in Iowa.

Gingrich says any of the Republicans could rebound before the Iowa caucuses, just as he did after his campaign almost collapsed last summer.

Art-theft suspect pleads not guilty in NYC

NEW YORK (AP) ? A wine steward suspected in a bicoastal art-theft spree lifted pricey art from New York hotels simply by walking out with the works in a canvas tote bag and then used them to line his own walls, prosecutors said Friday.

Mark Lugo, who just spent more than four months in jail for grabbing a $275,000 Picasso off a San Francisco art gallery wall, was being held without bail after pleading not guilty Friday to grand larceny and other charges in a Manhattan court.

"In an effort to display stolen art in his apartment, this repeat art thief boldly walked out of two Manhattan hotels in broad daylight" with valuable works, District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said in a statement.

Lugo's New York lawyer, James Montgomery, said the 31-year-old was a "pleasant, engaging" man "who's been struggling with particular difficulties," which he wouldn't detail.

"When the dust settles, and the DA's office calms down a little bit, we'll find that Mr. Lugo is a man who had no commercial motive at all" in the alleged thefts, Montgomery said.

The charges relate to two thefts of a total of six artworks, including what prosecutors called a $350,000 sketch by the French Cubist painter Fernand Leger. But prosecutors said a search of Lugo's former apartment in Hoboken, N.J., turned up four other pieces ? including a Picasso work ? that may have been stolen from Manhattan venues, and they said the investigation was continuing.

Lugo was publicly identified as a suspect in several New York heists since shortly after his July arrest in San Francisco, where police identified him as the man who walked into the Weinstein Gallery, lifted the 1965 Picasso drawing "Tete de Femme" ("Head of a Woman") off the wall, strolled down the street with the sketch under his arm and hopped into a taxi. Police tracked Lugo to a friend's Napa County apartment, where the Picasso was found unframed and prepared for shipping.

At his Hoboken apartment, investigators then found a $430,000 trove of stolen art, carefully and prominently displayed, as well as high-priced wine, authorities said.

Among some 19 artworks at the apartment was Leger's 1917 "Composition with Mechanical Elements," Assistant District Attorney Meghan Hast told a judge. The drawing disappeared June 28 from an employee entrance area at a gallery in the Carlyle Hotel; prosecutors pegged its value at $350,000, though Montgomery said that figure warranted investigating.

Lugo also is charged with stealing a group of five works by the South Korea-born artist Mie Yim, known for her disconcerting images of toy bears and other toy-like creatures, from the Chambers Hotel on June 14. The hotel had bought the Yim works, together called "Pastel on Board," for $1,800 apiece, prosecutors said.

Representatives for the hotels didn't immediately return calls Friday.

The San Francisco district attorney's office has said Lugo also was suspected of several other New York art heists, including the theft of a $30,000 Picasso etching from the William Bennett Gallery on June 27.

While artworks can be equipped with electronic tags that sound alerts when they're moved, some galleries don't use the technology because they sell works and change their exhibits frequently, said Robert K. Wittman, a former investigator for the FBI's national art crime team.

Most art thieves sell or try to sell what they snatch, but a few have stolen to enhance their own collections ? sometimes "for bragging rights," said Wittman, now an art-security consultant based in Chester Heights, Pa.

Lugo, a sometime sommelier and kitchen server at upscale Manhattan restaurants, also is charged in New Jersey with taking $6,000 worth of wine - in the form of three bottles of Chateau Petrus Pomerol - in April from Gary's Wine and Marketplace in Wayne. He hasn't appeared in a New Jersey court yet to answer those charges.

Lugo pleaded guilty in October to grand theft for the San Francisco heist. He finished his 138-day sentence Nov. 21 but was being held until he could be transferred to New York.

Lugo's San Francisco attorney, Douglas Horngrad, has called him "more like someone who was in the midst of a psychiatric episode" than a calculating art thief.

ESA ends attempt to contact Russian probe (AP)

MOSCOW ? The European Space Agency says it has abandoned efforts to contact a rogue Russian space probe, increasing the likelihood it will plunge to Earth.

The unmanned Phobos-Ground probe was to head to the Mars moon of Phobos on a 2 1/2-year mission to take soil samples and fly them back to Earth.

But the probe became stuck in Earth orbit after its Nov. 9 launch and attempts to send commands that could propel it toward the Mars moon have been unsuccessful.

An ESA statement Friday said that although the agency has halted efforts to contact the probe, it will resume if any changes are reported by the Russian space agency.

Russian deputy space chief Vitaly Davydov said last month that the spacecraft could fall to Earth between late December and late February.
